Xuanyuan City!
Shangguan Hen used the Eight and Nine Mysteries Art and the Seventy-Two Transformations to assume Cang Jie's appearance. He was just about to reach Nangong Shou's hall when he ran into Emperor Kong.
"Mister Cang Jie, why are you here? Didn't you go …?" Emperor Kong exclaimed.
The Seventy-Two Transformations was too realistic. Emperor Kong did not notice anything strange.
"Something happened there, so His Holiness sent me to find Nangong Shou. Who would have thought that he would betray His Holiness!" Cang Jie said in a low voice.
"What?" Emperor Kong paled.
"Lower your voice. Nangong Shou doesn't know that His Holiness has seen through him, so …!" Cang Jie said solemnly.
"Nangong Shou? He's an old follower of His Holiness. Could it be that he's disloyal after one generation? That's impossible, Mister! "Emperor Kong exclaimed.
"Whether he's disloyal or not is decided by His Holiness. Emperor Kong, do you want to take credit for capturing him?" Cang Jie looked at Emperor Kong.
Emperor Kong's eyes lit up, but then he asked doubtfully, "Mister, isn't that Nangong Shou obedient to you? With your skills, you don't need to go through so much trouble! "
"If you're not willing, then forget it!" Cang Jie said indifferently.
"No, I'm willing. Haha, Mister, compared to Nangong Shou, I trust Mister more. However, Nangong Shou is not in the palace, but underground, growing Cinnabar Fruit!" Emperor Kong laughed.
"There's no time to lose. Let's go!" Cang Jie said.
Cang Jie was Shangguan Hen in disguise, and he was alarmed. Fortunately, he ran into Emperor Kong. Otherwise, wouldn't he have gone for nothing?
Emperor Kong led the way. Soon, the two arrived at a forbidden area in the palace. Although it was heavily guarded, no one dared to stop Cang Jie and Emperor Kong.
It was like a crater cave, and the two of them kept going down.
Not long after, they smelled a fishy stench from below.
"This is the place that Nangong Shou requested from His Holiness. No one has been here before. Every time Nangong Shou offers the Vermillion Fruit, he takes it from here. I wonder how it is made. Do you know?" Emperor Kong asked curiously.
Cang Jie didn't say anything and just flew down.
Soon, the two of them reached the bottom of the cave. There was a red light at the bottom. No, it was a pool of blood.
It was as if the entire volcanic crater had been sealed under it. Above it was boiling blood, and within the blood floated a large number of corpses. On each of the corpses, there was a vine. The vines pierced into the corpses, as if they were absorbing the flesh and blood of the corpses as nutrients.
The countless vines were actually the roots of a black vine tree. At the peak of this black vine tree, there was a fruit that emitted countless red lights and was shaped like a human brain.
"The Vermilion Fruit is about to ripen again?" Emperor Kong's eyes lit up.
Cang Jie looked at the corpses in the blood pool. Some of them were still alive, bound by the vines and pierced into their bodies. Those people revealed a look of despair as they were turned into fertilizer.
"Spare me, Great Immortal, spare me, spare me!"
"Demon, even if I die, I will turn into an evil spirit and make you pay with your life!"
"You Jura, you will die a horrible death!"
…
The survivors cursed in despair.
Not far away, Nangong Shou, who had the figure of a child and was wrapped in a white robe, sneered, "You are all prisoners of the Great Yellow Dynasty. What is there to struggle for? Since you have broken the law, why don't you grow the Vermilion Fruit as a tribute to His Holiness?"
"Demon, you will die a horrible death!"
"We have broken the law, but we don't deserve to die!"
"I am innocent!"
"Matriarch Ji raised a demon, you will die a horrible death!"
…
A group of prisoners roared.
"Hmph, His Holiness doesn't know what I am doing. However, since you dare to insult His Holiness, then die!" Nangong Shou waved his hand.
"Creak!"
All the vines sucked in, and the voices of the prisoners stopped abruptly. In an instant, all of them shriveled up and died.
The Vermilion Fruit became even more beautiful.
"Hmph, without you, I still have an endless number of prisoners. If I don't have them, I still have the enemy army!" Nangong Shou sneered.
Shangguan Hen wanted to save them, but he was too late. His face turned cold.
"Who is it?" Nangong Shou suddenly shouted.
"Nangong Shou, you are really good. So this is how the Vermilion Fruit is refined? Eating one will increase one's lifespan by five hundred years. So it is a Longevity Plant! "Emperor Kong said coldly.
"Oh? Lord Kong, why are you in my Vermilion Fruit Palace? Ah, Mister Cang Jie! "Nangong Shou exclaimed in surprise.
However, in the next moment, Nangong Shou's expression changed, "No, you are not Mister Cang Jie!"
"Whoosh!"
Shangguan Hen moved like a streak of light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Nangong Shou and grabbed his neck. Nangong Shou's cultivation was sealed.
"What …!" Nangong Shou's eyes widened in shock. With his neck gripped, he could not make a sound.
On the other hand, Emperor Kong was taken aback.
Fake? What fake?
However, when he saw Cang Jie move, Emperor Kong shuddered and knew that something was wrong. Cang Jie had never used martial arts. Even against Nangong Shou, he would have used magic arts. However, that action just now …
Fake? Emperor Kong reacted immediately.
"Not good!" Emperor Kong shuddered and turned to flee toward the top of the cave.
"Men, catch the assassin!" Emperor Kong roared into the sky.
Shangguan Hen grabbed Nangong Shou with one hand and smashed the Vermilion Fruit Tree with the other, then chased after Emperor Kong.
"Boom!"
Emperor Kong had already charged out of the cave and blasted open the outer hall. His roar immediately attracted the attention of countless experts in Xuanyuan City.
Shangguan Hen soared into the sky. Naturally, he would not stay for a moment longer. He grabbed Nangong Shou tightly and shot toward the Limitless Celestial Capital.
"Thank you, Emperor Kong, for cooperating with me from the inside. Hahahahaha!" Shangguan Hen flew away, but his laughter could be heard in Xuanyuan City.
Emperor Kong, who had already escaped from danger, was shocked. "Shangguan Hen, it's you!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …
Fengbo, Li Mu, Ao Ying, Xiong You, and a group of Heavenly Palace Grand Perfection experts flew over quickly.
"Emperor Kong, why is Shangguan Hen in Xuanyuan City? What did he mean?" Fengbo was confused.
"Yeah, what did you do with him? Emperor Kong, what did you do with him?" Ao Ying frowned.
Emperor Kong, "…!"
Hungry Ghost Path Reincarnation. At the peak of the Boundless Mountain.
Matriarch Ji, Cang Jie, Binghime, and a man in green stood at the peak of the mountain.
The man in green was extremely handsome. He held a wooden ruler in his hand and tapped it lightly against his palm.
"Matriarch Ji, I've already sent out the hungry ghosts under me for you. Shouldn't you tell me who that dragon-shaped hungry ghost is now?" the man in green said mildly.
"Goumang, you are the reincarnation of the Hungry Ghost Dao and one of the Five Hungry Ghost Kings. In this world, you can be considered an overlord. Why do you need to know so much about the matters of the divine continent?" Cangjie laughed.
"Don't think that I don't know. In ancient times, the hungry ghosts of the Hungry Ghost Path Reincarnation could leave the path of reincarnation when they reached a certain level. They were conferred as gods by the heavens. Now, the Six Paths Cactus controls the heavens. He has sealed the Hungry Ghost Path Reincarnation, and none of us can leave. He wants us to eat each other to become the strongest hungry ghosts. In the future, he will refine us into soul bodies to strengthen his physical body. Why do you think that we, the Five Hungry Ghost Kings, have allowed you to do whatever you want in the Hungry Ghost Path Reincarnation all these years? It is because you can open the exit for us to escape. You want to capture that dragon-shaped hungry ghost? Why do we help you with all our might? We are not waiting for you to reward us. We want to leave! "Goumang said solemnly.
"I will let whoever captures or kills the person I want out!" Matriarch Ji said solemnly.
"Are you serious?" Goumang's eyes lit up.
"Are you serious?" "Are you serious?"
Another four voices sounded from all directions of this world. Clearly, the other four Hungry Ghost Kings were anxious.
"A monarch is not joking!" Matriarch Ji said solemnly.
"Good. Since you said that, I will kill all the dragon-shaped hungry ghosts in this world!" Goumang laughed loudly.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a giant snake with two wings flew over from afar. The giant snake was a thousand zhang long, and it emitted a vicious aura.
"What's wrong?" Goumang asked solemnly.
"A small army camp at the mouth of Green Lake in the northwest has been attacked by an evil dragon!" the giant snake said.
"An evil dragon?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Yes. However, that evil dragon is very ferocious. Nearly all the three thousand soldiers in the camp were eaten by it. Only two junior generals managed to escape and went to the city to send a message. By the time this subordinate arrived, the evil dragon had already fled. Now, its whereabouts are unknown! "the giant snake said.
"How big is the evil dragon if it ate all three thousand soldiers?" Cang Jie asked anxiously.
"This subordinate said that it is three hundred zhang long and extremely vicious!" the giant snake said.
"Three hundred zhang? It can't be Gu Hai. How can he be three hundred zhang long? "Cang Jie shook his head.
"No!" Matriarch Ji's face sank.
"This emperor has a feeling that it is him!" Matriarch Ji's expression changed.
"That's impossible, right? He is three hundred zhang long?" Cang Jie said in disbelief.
Goumang, who was at the side, said, "You said that he ate three thousand soldiers. Three thousand? Is he not afraid that the will of the three thousand soldiers would go to his head? "
"This subordinate does not know!" the giant snake said with a frown.
"It must be Gu Hai. He is three hundred zhang long. We have to find him. Where is he? Where did you say he was? "Matriarch Ji asked with a sullen expression.
"At the northwestern Azure Lake Entrance!" the giant snake said.
"Northwestern Azure Lake Entrance?" Goumang's eyes lit up.
He prepared to search. When the other Hungry Ghost Kings heard this, they also became alert.
"Report!"
"An evil dragon appeared in the northwestern Yellow Lake City. It ate one million Hungry Ghost Kings!" Another giant snake came to report.
"What did you say? One million Hungry Ghost Kings? Eaten by an evil dragon? What does that evil dragon look like? "Goumang glared.
"It is a black dragon that is two hundred zhang long. I don't know what evil technique it used, but the Hungry Ghost Kings did not notice it at first. According to the few Hungry Ghost Kings that escaped, there was a fragrance that made them salivate, stopping them from moving. If it was not a coincidence, they would have been eaten by the evil dragon! "the giant snake said anxiously.
"Could it be another evil dragon?" Goumang said with a frown.
"No, it should be him, Gu Hai!" Matriarch Ji's face darkened.
"One million people? Why is he not crazy? "Cang Jie said in disbelief.
"Previously, he was three hundred zhang long. Now, he is two hundred zhang long. No, he just ate an entire city of Hungry Ghost Kings. One million? "Matriarch Ji's face changed.
"We cannot let him grow. We cannot let Gu Hai grow. He must have found the flaw in the laws of heaven and earth. We cannot let him escape!" Cang Jie said worriedly.
"Five Hungry Ghost Kings, from now on, whoever kills this evil dragon, I will not only allow you to leave, but I will also allow you to bring your army out!" Matriarch Ji said solemnly.
"Hahaha, you said it!" Goumang was overjoyed.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
In the distance, four deafening roars sounded. It seemed like the other four Hungry Ghost Kings were moving.
