Chapter 135 You are so bad! But I like it
"What a fool indeed!"
On the back of the phoenix, the Lord of Youhuang agreed with what she said, but Feng Qingan, whose will had already descended upon her, could not help but feel it. She was in a very good mood at the moment.
"If this judge had just turned around and returned to the human world, you would have no interest in him anymore, right?"
"Yes, it is nothing to speak generously and not fear death. Only when one's words and deeds are consistent can one be a great man!"
Dong Huang nodded. In her eyes, not fearing death was nothing. Even ordinary people could commit suicide at any time. What was truly worthy of praise was the courage to face things that were more terrifying than death.
No one knows, no one praises, no one worships, and no one cares. As a ghost god worshipped by incense and offerings, once he leaves the throne, how long will it take for the local people to forget him?
It's only three to five years at most. People are the most forgetful. If there is no reward, who would waste incense on a ghost or god who will not respond at all?
Guarding the crevices of the underworld alone, one has to face loneliness and the world's oblivion. At the same time, one has to face the irreversible weakness that follows every swing of the sword.
If this little ghost really chooses to return to the human world, she will naturally do nothing and let it go free. As for those offenses, she doesn't take them to heart and will not waste time on them.
But when this ghost turned his back to the human world, faced the underworld, and swung his sword, she became really interested. As the ruler of a country, how could she not be tempted by a commander who could lead troops to fight and whose will was as solid as a rock and indestructible?
"So you are more interested in him now and you must recruit him?"
"good!"
"But with his personality, I'm afraid he won't give in at all!"
"It doesn't matter. This kind of person has a very simple temperament. I have many ways to use him!"
"For example?"
Feng Qingan asked with great interest,
"I'm going to order him to lead the army to fight against the ghost king who devours 300 souls on earth every day. Do you think he will refuse my order given his personality?"
"Certainly not."
The young man was firm, but his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't help asking,
"Is there really a ghost king who wants to eat three hundred souls one day?"
If there is, there is no need to wait for a conquest. He just wants to pick up his sword and chop it down.
"how?"
"I……"
"There are ghost kings everywhere who like to devour the souls of the living. It is better to say that there is no ghost in the netherworld that does not like to eat the souls of the living. If you want to wipe out the netherworld, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. Wait until you become the ancestor of the sect, then you can have this idea again!"
“…”
Feng Qing'an was speechless. He knew that there were too many things in this world that he couldn't stand, but if he really wanted to eliminate them one by one, even if he was a saint, he would probably be powerless.
"Donghuang! What is the sword you just threw down for?"
Feng Qingan then brought up another matter.
"That was a weapon used by the Ghost King that I seized not long ago. I left behind a superior method of devouring ghosts and a method of ghost cultivation in it!"
"You really want him to be a ghost general!"
Feng Qingan said with a smile.
"Since he has chosen to stay in the netherworld, he can no longer be a ghost. The little power he has is like a rootless duckweed without incense to replenish it. It won't be long before it is exhausted. If I don't give him the method of ghost cultivation, he will die here in battle."
"So, he can only become a ghost cultivator?"
"There's nothing wrong with being a ghost cultivator. He has no choice anyway. There is basically no way out for him as a ghost god. With his personality, there is no possibility of promotion. He will be suppressed by others until his soul is scattered and he can no longer hold on. It's better for him to join me and be my commander!"
Dong Huang explained to Feng Qingan.
"That's true!"
"If he is smart enough, he should pull out the sword I left behind before his divine power is exhausted. This way, he can complete his training as soon as possible and master a new source of power!"
"What if he would rather die than pull out the sword you left behind, and would not degenerate from a ghost god to a ghost general? What would you do?"
“This is the second choice I give him: choose to fall, obtain the power he once despised, and guard the gap in the underworld, or keep his own power pure and die in the gap of the underworld as a ghost, allowing the door between the human world and the underworld to open, allowing ghosts and evil beasts to wreak havoc on the human world!”
"Donghuang!"
"Um?"
"I just realized today that you are so bad!"
When Feng Qing'an heard Dong Huang's arrangement, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Given Xu Wupan's temperament, it was a no-brainer as to what choice he would make.
"Um?!"
"But I like it!"
"It's just a method that a king should use. Whether I am willing or not, as long as I want to use it, I must use it!"
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being mine..."
"You have nothing to do? It's time to practice!"
Before Feng Qing'an could finish his words, his consciousness was expelled. Dong Huang forcibly interrupted Feng Qing'an's "Spirit Parasitism Technique" and didn't want to hear him continue.
"Tsk, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet!"
In the room, Feng Qing'an, who was hugging the delicate body of the girl, muttered, and then, amid the dissatisfied murmurs of the girl in his arms, he calmed down his emotions and helped the girl to vent her strength.
Soul Devouring and Soul Infusing
Feng Qing'an has basically mastered the latest secret technique after a period of study and training, and is clear about the purpose of this secret technique.
This secret technique is still passed down from generation to generation and has a cyclical and progressive relationship with the previous three secret techniques, but it is essentially different because the effect of this secret technique is no longer limited to the body, but involves the soul.
This solved the problem that Feng Qingan had once thought about. Although the three secret techniques of "Soul Attracting and Blood Refining Technique", "Soul Gathering and Bone Tempering Technique" and "Soul Devouring and Marrow Changing Technique" could help birds and beasts awaken their spirits, they were limited to creatures with flesh and blood.
It is of little use to Nan Ge, who is born with a Yin spirit body. Although Nan Ge also has flesh, blood and bone structure similar to that of humans, and even saliva in her mouth, this is fundamentally different from flesh and blood creatures. She is actually a spirit body, but of a very high nature.
Feng Qing'an has not been able to provide much help to Nan Ge's practice. This is simply a slap in the face for him. He can only enjoy the benefits brought by the other party unilaterally, but has no way to respond in equal measure. What is this, a gigolo?
However, as Feng Qing'an acquired the fourth secret technique, the problems that had troubled him were naturally solved, and he gained the ability to interfere with and guide souls.
Even for a congenital Yin spirit like Nan Ge, he could assist her in her practice, help her accumulate strength faster, and stimulate her potential and transform it into combat power in the shortest possible time.
Nan Ge now wants to complete the Nine Refinements that her sister once did, so she would rather stop and condense her strength to the extreme. Originally, Feng Qingan could only watch from the side, but now he can participate.
After all, condensing strength was not unfamiliar to him. He tempered his soul power every night. It was nothing more than helping Nan Ge do what he often did.
"Were you talking to your sister just now?"
The girl snuggled in the boy's arms, her clear and bright eyes like a deer gazing at the boy's increasingly mature and handsome face, with a hint of deep attachment in her eyes.
"Well, your sister has arrested the Wu Judge of Yongning County. I just went over to join in the fun. That Wu Judge is truly a real man. I admire him!"
Even though he was surrounded by fragrance and had a beautiful woman in his arms, Feng Qing'an was praising another man, because Wu Pan's life and the choices he made were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"What kind of person is that?"
The girl blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
"A stupid and dull person!"
Feng Qingan made a faint comment, and then told the girl in his arms everything he had seen tonight.
At the same time, in the City God's legal domain of Yongning County, all the ghosts and gods gathered in the main hall of the City God. Their faces were all solemn and heavy, and many of them even showed sighs and nostalgia on their faces.
"How could this be?"
“What a pity!”
"Master Xu is too stubborn!"
Many ghosts and gods were discussing the matter, and sighs were inevitable in their words, because one thing had been confirmed.
Wu Pan lost his position!
A ghost or god whose location cannot be found. Even the City God, his immediate superior, cannot sense where he is. The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is still alive and has not died. However, no ghost or god will have any expectations for this martial judge.
This is because, as ghosts and gods who have ascended to the altar due to the incense, they must not leave the place where they are worshipped for a long time, otherwise they will be beaten back to their original form and turned into wandering spirits. At most, their souls will be tougher than ordinary ghosts, but they will not have a good ending either.
In Yongning County, the Yakshas and ghost messengers patrol day and night and basically will not leave the territory of Yongning County, unless the City God goes out on a patrol and has prepared enough divine power, then they will take them away for a short time, but it will not be too long, no more than half a day at most, and then they will return.
The loss of the position of ghosts and gods is a very serious matter. Even if this Wu Pan is still alive, in the eyes of these ghosts and gods, he is no different from a soul scattered.
"Lord City God, how should Xu Wupan deal with this matter? Should we investigate the reason why he lost his position?"
A ghost asked the City God in the upper part.
"There is nothing to investigate. He provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked. He has brought this upon himself. You don't need to ask any more questions. I will report it to him!"
"Sir, are you going to report this now? Or should we wait a little longer?"
Wen Pan couldn't help but say at this moment.
Once it is reported that Judge Wu has lost his position, the gods may inquire about it, but the most likely possibility is that a ghost or god will be sent directly to fill the vacancy and will not ask any more questions about the disappearance of Lord Xu.
"How long?"
The City God of Yongning is always willing to accept good advice.
"Three years?"
Wen Pan asked tentatively.
"Master An, are the ghosts and gods of the city god blind?"
Even the City God of Yongning could not help it. Normally, the civil and military judges looked displeased with each other, but now that something happened, the civil judge dared to speak up. For three years, even ghosts and gods could not be so slack.
"How about those two years?"
The civil judge lowered some of his requirements. Once a ghost or god replaced the military judge, even if Lord Xu was still alive, he would completely become a wandering ghost.
"One year at most. If it's longer than that, I'll be held accountable for my inability to do anything. Even if that's the case, I'll be held accountable!"
"Your humble servant expresses his gratitude on behalf of Judge Wu!"
Judge Wen bowed.
"What is this for? I am Wu Pan's superior. I have seen everything he has done. I did this on my own accord. It has nothing to do with you!"
The City God of Yongning waved his hand impatiently and dismissed his subordinates. He was also upset at the moment.
"You should have been promoted and transferred earlier, otherwise why would it have come to this and let you suffer this disaster!"
After all the ghosts and gods left, the City God of Yongning looked at the empty hall and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's my fault!"
In the underworld, before the gap between the two worlds, Judge Wu, whose golden light had dimmed and whose even ten-foot-tall divine body could hardly maintain, had recovered to the size of a normal human. In his hand he held a large sword full of gaps.
But he still had to face endless ghosts and spirits. In the ruins, there were even greedy beasts watching his every move, waiting for his power to decline to the lowest point.
His previous slaughter did not have the slightest deterrent effect at all, because all the ghosts and evil beasts could feel that the power of the ghost guarding the rift in the underworld was continuously weakening.
Who would fear a watcher whose power was waning?
Moreover, behind him is the passage to the human world. In the past, this paradise could only be reached with the permission of the King of Ghosts.
"I already have no choice!"
Looking at the endless and even increasing number of ghosts and hidden beasts in front of him, Xu Wupan sighed and looked at the bone sword thrown by the Lord of the Ghost Country.
It was a ghost sword filled with ominous aura, but it contained extremely strong power. He just saw a monkey-like beast trying to pull up the sword without knowing whether it was alive or dead, and then had its blood sucked out of it by the sword.
Xu Wupan knew that this sword was prepared for him by the king. As long as he held the sword, it would mean that he had given up his identity as a ghost and chose to become one of the ghosts in the underworld.
How to choose?
As a ghost or god, he fought here until he died of exhaustion, ending his life in the most glorious way and completing a praiseworthy ending. This could even be written into a biography and spread throughout the world!
"Shameless!"
The warm breath from the human world made Xu Wupan let out a long breath. Then, he inserted the broken sword in his hand into his side. The moment he let go, the sword, which was already scarred, suddenly broke.
From the beginning to the end, he had only one choice!
The ghost god, whose aura seemed to have declined to the extreme, reached out and grasped the bone sword that had once been wielded by a ghost king. The dark and evil aura burst out from the ghost sword and began to infect his golden body.
"I am Xu Wuding! Xu Wuding who rules the world with martial arts!"
The lost ghost gave out his name, which was truly his father's greatest expectation for him, and he took this as his direction, remaining steadfast and never changing.
"How dare a mere weapon bite your master? Draw my sword and help me kill the enemy!"
The evil spirit left by the Ghost King was simply unable to shake the warrior's mind. The rebellious ghost sword immediately calmed down and left everything to the new master.
Thus, the majesty and solemnity of being a ghost god faded from the body of this military judge. As a son of a noble family, but a warrior who died in the frontier to avenge the blood debt of the people on the frontier, at this moment, he showed his true madness, looking up at the ghosts in the sky, and looking down at the evil beasts with contempt.
"Want to go to the human world? This road is blocked! I will guard this place, and I will only give you death!"
