There were a lot of strange magic beasts and magic plants in the Weiwu Forest. Even though they had spread plant and beast repellent powder around the area, Ying Chuan still arranged for people to patrol the area at night in order to avoid sneak attacks.
When Yun Sheng walked out of the tent, Ying Chuan was sitting by the bonfire, lost in thought.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Ying Chuan hurriedly stood up.
The bright bonfire shone on Yun Sheng's pretty face, making it even more radiant. For a moment, Ying Chuan was lost in thought.
"Miss Yun, I'm sorry. It was just a moment … but Junior Martial Sister provoked Miss Yun again. Her temper has been unruly since she was young. Please don't regard her as an outsider." Ying Chuan, as an expert of the younger generation of the Bailun Sect, had always been arrogant. However, when he saw Yun Sheng this time, he was always distracted and his heartbeat quickened.
"Big Brother Ying, I won't take it to heart. I'm just not used to sleeping in the wild. That's why I came out to take a look." Yun Sheng smiled faintly and sat down beside Ying Chuan gracefully.
Fortunately, Dollar was in the beast language ring. Otherwise, he would have been jealous again.
"Miss Yun, if you trust me, can you tell me why you've come to the Netherworld?" Ying Chuan was good at reading people's expressions. He could tell that although Yun Sheng was alone and didn't seem to be very powerful, the way she talked and her temperament indicated that she wasn't an ordinary person.
In the words of the Mortal Realm, Yun Sheng must be from an aristocratic family or a noble family. Her purpose for appearing in the Underworld was definitely not that simple.
"As expected, I can't hide anything from big brother Ying. The reason I came to the Netherworld is to find the Netherworld Ghost King." Yun Sheng didn't hide anything and told him about her mother's strange illness.
The Netherworld Ghost King?
Ying Chuan's expression changed slightly. Yun Sheng noticed all the changes in his expression.
"Big Brother Ying, do you know where the Netherworld Ghost King is?"
"Miss Yun, you should return. The Netherworld Ghost King has already fallen twenty years ago." Ying Chuan's words greatly shocked Yun Sheng.
Fallen? The Phantasm Ghost King had actually fallen?
Yun Sheng had never expected that the Netherworld Ghost King would be dead.
"But I clearly …" Yun Sheng wanted to say that she had met the Netherworld Ghost King a few years ago, but after thinking about it, she was suddenly at a loss for words.
Yun Sheng recalled that the last time she met the Phantasm Ghost King, it was with the help of the Princess of Taiyuan that she traveled back in time 500 years ago.
In other words, the Phantasm Ghost King she saw in the Taiyuan ruins was actually the Phantasm Ghost King from five hundred years ago.
Five hundred years had passed, so it was not impossible for the Phantasm Ghost King to fall.
The Phantasm Ghost King was an existence close to the level of a god, but he was still not a god. Even if the other party was a god, he could still be slaughtered.
"Before the Netherworld Ghost King fell, the Netherworld World Deity and the Ghost King each controlled four counties out of the eight counties of the Netherworld. One king and one deity, they were evenly matched, and the Netherworld was very peaceful. Ever since the Netherworld Ghost King fell twenty years ago, the four counties under the Ghost King fell into turmoil. Right now, the Netherworld is more chaotic than it has ever been. "Ying Chuan sighed.
Jimo County, where the Hundred Clouds Sect was located, was originally a direct subordinate of the Netherworld Ghost King.
Although the Ghost King was both righteous and evil, and his actions were unpredictable, his methods were cruel, and his military was extremely strict. Under his pressure, the evil forces in the four counties were suppressed to the point that they did not dare to move.
However, after the Ghost King fell, some evil forces in Jimo County, including the Thousand Yama Sect, took the opportunity to raise their heads, causing the people in the Netherworld to suffer.
"Big Brother Ying, how did the Netherworld Ghost King die? Did he have any family members or disciples? "Compared to the Netherworld Ghost King's death, Yun Sheng was more concerned about the whereabouts of the Heart Lamp.
After all, the strand of her mother's soul, Hu Jiusheng, was locked in the Heart Lamp. What Yun Sheng was most worried about was that the Heart Lamp was damaged or its whereabouts unknown after the Netherworld Ghost King died.
"The outside world does not know the exact cause of his death. Some say that he fought with the Netherworld World Deity and was killed. Others say that he wanted to advance to the Deity Realm, but because he committed too many evil deeds, he was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation. He was all alone and had no wife, children, disciples, or juniors. "Ying Chuan's words made Yun Sheng's heart sink.
Her original hope of finding the Netherworld Ghost King's whereabouts through the Divine Ability Pavilion was dashed.
Seeing that Yun Sheng's beautiful face was filled with dark clouds, Ying Chuan knew that she was depressed. After thinking for a while, he said, "Miss Yun, actually, you don't have to be too discouraged. Although I don't know how the Phantasm Ghost King died, it's rumored that after the Phantasm Ghost King died, he was buried in the Ghost King Cave. If you can go to the Ghost King Cave, perhaps you'll be able to find some clues."
"Oh, then where is the Ghost King Cave?" Yun Sheng's brows were filled with hope again.
"Haha, if the Hundred Dwelling Sect knew the location of the Ghost King Cave, would they have fallen to this state today?" A strange voice came from the front of the tent.
Thorny Tiger led dozens of people from the Thousand Yama Sect and surrounded the Hundred Dwelling Sect's tent.
"Thorny Tiger, how dare you break into our tent at night!" Hearing the commotion, everyone in the tent came out. Ying Yue's face was cold as she aimed the bow in her hand at Thorny Tiger.
As soon as the two sides met, they drew their bows and arrows. The atmosphere seemed very tense.
As it turned out, after Thorny Tiger and the others secretly dealt with the newcomers that the Dongwei Sect had lured over, they were preparing to capture Yun Sheng.
Who would have thought that they would not find any trace of Yun Sheng along the way?
After searching around the Wei Wu Forest, they discovered the whereabouts of the people from the Hundred Dwelling Sect. Only then did they know that Yun Sheng had encountered the people from the Hundred Dwelling Sect when she was avoiding the Flesh Devouring Vines.
Speaking of which, the Hundred Dwelling Sect and the Thousand Yama Sect were both local powers in Jimo County.
However, just as Ying Chuan said, before the Ghost King died, the Hundred Dwelling Sect, the County Manor, and the Divine Ability Pavilion were the three major powers in Jimo County.
However, after the Ghost King died, the Sect Master of the Hundred Dwelling Sect, Ying Lei, who was also Ying Yue's father, was seriously injured by the people of the Thousand Yama Sect when he went out on an expedition. Thus, the Hundred Dwelling Sect gradually declined.
In addition, the Thousand Yama Sect burned, killed, and plundered, and monopolized many of the Hundred Dwelling Sect's original businesses. Now, the Hundred Dwelling Sect was on the verge of collapse and could be swallowed up by the Thousand Yama Sect at any time.
Therefore, after Thorny Tiger learned that Yun Sheng had been rescued by the people of the Hundred Dwelling Sect, he was not afraid of the other party's power. He directly led his men to surround the Hundred Dwelling Sect's tent.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it's Miss Ying Yue. For Miss Ying Yue's sake, I, Thorny Tiger, will not pester you any further. As long as you hand that girl over to us, I will take my brothers and retreat. "Thorny Tiger's thieving eyes stared at Yun Sheng's beautiful face.
Under the night sky, the newcomer from the Mortal Realm looked even more lovely and moving.
They had dozens of people, while the Hundred Dwelling Sect only had a dozen people. Although Ying Chuan and Ying Yue were both present, Thorny Tiger knew that they had other motives for entering the forest. They would not rashly lose their men.
Therefore, Thorny Tiger naturally thought that the Hundred Dwelling Sect would hand over Yun Sheng.
How could Ying Yue not understand in her heart? Although Thorny Tiger was no match for them, the other party had more people. Most importantly, it was already late at night. If they fought, the smell of blood would definitely attract some demonic beasts or demonic plants in the Wei Fog Forest.
