Changing the City Lord
Long Chen originally wanted to step into the transmission array and return to the ninth ghost capital, but the two women behind him subconsciously pulled him back.
Both of their eyes were filled with terror.
One of them hurriedly said to Long Chen. "Young Master, you mustn't do this! Although you are a sovereign powerhouse, you can't kill the City Lord of the ghost capital!"
"The City Lord of the ghost capital is protected by the contract between the Underworld and the Heavenly Domain. Even if he makes a mistake, he has to discuss it with the Heavenly Palace's ruler and the Underworld's ruler …"
"Especially the Demonic Snake City Lord of the ninth heaven, he must not be killed!"
Long Chen paused, and one of the witches quickly said. "He is the son of the Underworld's Desolate Snake Prison's Lord!"
Long Chen frowned slightly, but he still stepped into the transmission array with the two witches.
When he reappeared, he and the two women appeared again.
The scene didn't seem to have changed at all. They were still standing at the end of a white bone city, and behind them was still the transmission array.
However, the two witches knew that this is the ninth ghost capital.
This is not only because they are too familiar with this place, but also because the Demonic Snake City Lord is standing in place dozens of meters in front of them.
At this moment, there are two guards beside him, but the two guards are wearing heavy armor and holding dark purple light whips.
Their appearance is indeed no different from that of a human, but there are some scales on their cheeks, and a purple flame is jumping between their eyebrows.
"Your Excellency is in a good mood, wearing clothes for the two witches, tsk tsk …" The Demonic Snake City Lord slowly walked towards Long Chen, but his eyes fell on the two witches.
The two witches trembled all over, their hands loosened, and their clothes fell to the ground.
The Demonic Snake City Lord didn't seem to mention the deal with Long Chen. Instead, he said indifferently. "Since Your Excellency has such a good mood, follow me around the city. After all, it's rare to see a sovereign powerhouse in the ghost capital …"
Long Chen didn't speak, but his eyes were very calm. He nodded and agreed.
Long Chen followed the Demonic Snake into the hinterland of the city, on the street behind the City Lord's mansion.
Although this place is the ghost capital, there are still many merchants, but these people are at least at the intermediate stage of the Earth Immortal realm.
Among them were people of the White Bone Race, as well as many demons with fleshly bodies.
If this market was placed in the outside world, perhaps no one would have thought that these skeletons were real human beings, and that the ones with fleshly bodies were demons.
After passing through the streets, Demon Snake City's City Lord led Long Chen to a huge bone building.
The bone building was empty.
However, when they reached this place, the two witches' faces were deathly pale. They were unwilling to take a single step forward, as if the path ahead was the purgatory of the netherworld.
"Aren't you going to lead the way for this Lord Ruler to have a look?" A hint of amusement appeared at the corners of the Demonic Snake City Master's mouth.
The two witches were shivering, and their loose clothes were already soaked in cold sweat.
When they stepped into the building, Long Chen's Power of Sovereign enveloped the two of them. A warm feeling like the spring rain cleansed their souls.
The two of them followed closely behind Long Chen. Although their bodies were no longer trembling, it was more like Long Chen was walking with them.
Haha …
Demon Snake City's City Lord seemed to find this scene very amusing and laughed without concealing it.
However, the two guards beside him didn't show the slightest expression from beginning to end. They simply walked beside him, not leaving his side for even a single step.
Following behind Demon Snake City's City Lord, Long Chen was also as motionless as a mountain. He seemed to be taking advantage of the situation.
After entering the bone building, they walked a mere hundred meters before arriving at a tunnel.
The tunnel was less than ten meters long and wide. Judging from the location of the bone building, it should lead directly to the bottom of the city gate.
The two witches were almost paralyzed on the ground. They clung tightly to Long Chen's arm, as if they were holding on to their last hope …
Miserable screams could be heard coming from the bottom of the tunnel.
Long Chen could clearly hear that it was a woman's voice.
As they moved forward, the dark tunnel quickly lit up, and the space gradually became wider.
The screams in their ears grew louder and louder.
When the crowd came to a stop, Long Chen was also stunned.
The two witches behind him were paralyzed on the ground, but their hands were still tightly clutching their clothes.
Even the two guards standing beside Demon Snake City's City Lord couldn't help but frown deeply.
The spacious underground space was decorated in a rather grand manner.
The walls were also covered with glaring white crystals. However, below the crystals were countless stone pillars with carvings. On the stone pillars were chains as thick as an arm ….
Between every two pillars, there were chains crisscrossing each other, and a woman was chained to each of the chains.
Among these women were witches, but there were also many humans. Some of them had even died to the chains.
In front of each woman stood a member of the Devil Race.
Some of the women even formed a long line in front of them.
This scene caused Long Chen's killing intent to surge.
This person was actually raising humans, and thus constantly nurturing witches to become his playthings.
"Do you see clearly, sir? How many clothes do you have? There are more than ten rooms behind us, and each of them is missing a piece of clothing. Haha. "Demon Snake City Lord stared at Long Chen mockingly.
He didn't seem to fear Long Chen's cultivation at all. Perhaps it was the two guards by his side that gave him an indescribable confidence.
Long Chen took a deep breath, then said, "No need. I don't have that many clothes."
Demon Snake City Lord stared deeply at Long Chen. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood at Long Chen's admission of defeat. His two serpent arms even flicked their forked tongues.
Forcing a Ruler to admit defeat like this gave him a perverted sense of pleasure.
Demon Snake City Lord said, "Enough. Give me the items, and I'll give them to you. Then you can leave."
"Oh, right … I'm afraid those followers of yours won't be able to leave with you. Someone paid a high price to keep them here."
Long Chen was restricted by the rules of the Ghost Capital, and only had a body of bones left. No one knew what expression he had on his face.
However, his eyes were so cold that they sent chills down one's spine. They were too calm.
He stared at Demon Snake, his voice flat. "Do you really have the three items needed to obtain the Netherworld Flame?"
"Of course I do. The Ice of Gloomy Water, the Frost of Cold Moon, and the Bone of Ice Python. You only need to give me the souls of the three people I need!" Demon Snake City Lord seemed somewhat impatient.
Long Chen nodded, then murmured, "I don't have many clothes, but I don't think they're lacking clothes …"
Long Chen's strange words startled everyone. They didn't know what he was trying to say.
"What they want is your life!"
