Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 254: Crisis in Yinfeng Valley
Everything is driven by interests. Everyone has their own selfish desires and wants to seek more benefits for themselves or their forces. They are unwilling to easily let go of any opportunity to gain an advantage. Even I am no exception. I dominate the "Hell Volcano" and occupy the sacred place "Karamayi" of the giant magician clan. I am unwilling to let or even strongly refuse other undead wizards or forces to get involved. This has or may cause a lot of criticism and dissatisfaction. Unless there is a force that is strong enough to unify the undead wizards, internal divisions and confrontations between each other, whether open or covert, are helpless and difficult to avoid. I am not arrogant enough to think that I have the ability to eliminate these injustices and disputes, nor do I want to directly participate in them. I spend too much energy on the struggle for power and profit, which I am not good at. I try to focus on my own development. As long as they don't provoke me and threaten my vested interests, I will let them make trouble.
With my strong appearance, the time for the appointment is approaching. Perhaps all forces have restrained the actions of their necromancers, and the disputes between different factions have temporarily subsided, waiting for the appearance of the mysterious master. Due to the growing disputes over interests in recent times, the relationship between various forces is quite tense. Therefore, we, the top necromancers and the leaders of several major forces, were unable to communicate beforehand, and we were not clear about the specific incident and could not unify our actions, which brought certain difficulties to the response. I hope that the disaster will not be directly brought down as I foresaw, otherwise I am afraid that we will encounter big troubles and it will be difficult to have a good result.
The time for the meeting was up. In an instant, the sky above the "Yinfeng Valley" changed color. The dark clouds rolled and pressed down sharply. The sky was dark and visibility was much lower. A fierce wind suddenly blew, forming countless large and small wind vortices near the valley entrance, blowing wantonly. We had to flee one after another, fearing that we would be swept in, like those unlucky guys who were blown all over the place and trapped in the wind vortex and unable to escape. We were in a panic because of this sudden change, but it came and went suddenly, and the clouds disappeared in an instant. The valley entrance returned to its previous calm, as if nothing had happened, except that a tall shadow suddenly appeared in front of us. It had no specific shape, like a large irregular black fog, about 10 to 20 meters high and 7 to 8 meters wide. It stayed there quietly without taking any other action.
Perhaps because it saw that we had noticed its existence, the shadow transformed into a ball of black mist that looked like an arm and stretched it out. It raised it high and waved it a few times at us, the short people below. At the same time, a big hole appeared, which opened and closed like a mouth and made a sound, "Hello, fellow necromancers, don't be nervous. I asked you to meet here. I won't hurt you."
Despite this, many necromancers, especially those who were closer to the shadow, could not help but retreat, trying to stay away from it. In addition, they were suddenly disturbed and subconsciously mobilized their subordinates to strengthen their defense. The scene did not return to calm as the shadow said, and it seemed a little chaotic for a while. I was quite calm. I realized that my premonition might come true. Although it would definitely bring a lot of trouble, it asked us to meet, so at least this time there should be no direct danger. I hid in the crowd and shouted to it in the chaos: "Excuse me, who are you?" I confirmed its identity first.
"I'm sorry, my appearance was too abrupt and disturbed you. Let me introduce myself. I am one of the three great leaders of the Law Enforcer and the deputy chief judge, the Hundred-Change Demon Soul Yebulato. I asked you to come here because I have something important to announce. I won't hurt you. Please come to me as soon as possible and gather!"
As expected, he is a big shot, the deputy chief judge, the Hundred-Change Demon Soul Yebulato. It seems that he will be in charge of the "Valley of the Wind", which ranks last among the four forbidden areas. It is definitely not a good thing to invite us here this time. It is probably a warning or ultimatum to us like the last time when the giant magician Aristotle, the "law enforcer" of the corpse wizard clan, issued us a warning or ultimatum. I know that many undead wizards want to cultivate "demon spirits" and have the ability of "instant teleportation". They are going crazy. The wanton hunting and killing of the ghost royal family has threatened their survival. Sooner or later, they will cause trouble. What is coming will never be avoided. I don't know what conditions this Yebulato will offer us.
The other party revealed his identity. Most of the necromancers present had experienced the battle with Aristotle. They knew that the other party would not attack directly, so they soon calmed down, walked out one by one, and gathered in front of Yebuladuo. "Excuse me, what is the matter with the deputy chief judge asking us to come?" The one who asked the question was Tianxing. Among the four great wizard kings, this kid was the most rampant in "Yinfeng Valley". "Hell Volcano" was dominated by me, and "Bottomless Abyss" Qingwu Feiyang and Qiu Shui Changtian accounted for the majority. He took advantage of the fact that the three of us could not spare too much energy to take care of "Yinfeng Valley" and sold out various rights and interests wantonly to gain more benefits for himself. Not only did he kill almost all the ghost royals in his sphere of influence, he even secretly acquiesced to many "poaching teams" to invade our territory to search for ghost royals. It can be said that he should bear at least half of the responsibility for the chaos in "Yinfeng Valley" today. Of course, in comparison, "Yinfeng Valley" is more important to him, and it has brought him a lot of benefits. The change in the situation will have a direct impact on future development, and he can't help but care about it.
"I believe you all know the origin and responsibilities of the 'law enforcers'. I don't need to introduce them any further. The four forbidden areas in the 'dead soul space' are directly controlled by our chief judge, and the 'wind valley' is under the jurisdiction of me, the deputy chief judge, and my responsibility is to maintain its normal and orderly development. Originally, you undead wizards defeated the ghost banshee 'Wu Zetian' and divided up the 'wind valley'. This was a normal expansion of power, and I had no right to interfere. But you are acting more and more excessively. First, you allowed the abnormal mutant ghosts 'demon spirits' that were permanently expelled to return to the 'wind valley' openly, occupying a place, and even entering the holy land 'wind cave' to live. Then, one after another You have devoted yourself to the artificial cultivation of "demon spirits" and have been hunting and killing the ghost royal family. You have not repented and have even become more and more aggressive. This has seriously threatened their survival. If you continue to hunt and kill indiscriminately, I am afraid that the ghost royal family in the "Yinfeng Valley" will be exterminated by you. This is a serious violation of the "Law of the Dead" and must not be allowed. I have to intervene. I have invited you, the undead wizards who have subdued "demon spirits" or ghost royal family, to come to the "Yinfeng Valley" for a meeting. I want to give you an ultimatum to save the ghost royal family from the dire straits and restore the normal growth order of the "Mingfeng Valley" and the Devouring Ghost Clan. "
"Then according to the deputy chief judge's intention, what should we do to restore the normal development order of 'Yellow Wind Valley'? Are there any remedial measures?" This was asked by other undead wizards. I don't want to be too prominent. It is clear that I am an enemy of Yebulato, not a friend. A conflict may break out at any time. The law is merciless. Once it develops to that point, no matter how good the relationship is, it will be useless. There is no human relationship with these iron-faced and selfless "law enforcers". There is no need to build relationships. Especially when facing a super strong person like Yebulato, the Hundred Changes Demon Soul, if it notices me, it will focus on "taking care" of me if a war breaks out in the future. Isn't it asking for trouble? I think Qiu Shui Changtian and Qing Wu Fei Yang are also thinking the same idea, so they kept silent and let other undead wizards "show their faces".
"It is useless to regret now. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Since they have already done it, they must be aware and prepared to bear the consequences and pay the corresponding price for their wrong actions. There are three choices before you: First, all the 'demon spirits' and those half-finished ghost demon kings must be expelled from the 'Yinfeng Valley' and are not allowed to return. At the same time, the undead wizards must no longer cultivate 'demon spirits', and the phenomenon of ghost royals devouring their own kind and transforming into demon kings is absolutely not allowed. You undead wizards can continue to carry out normal activities in the 'Yinfeng Valley' to subdue those ghost royals. Second, the existing 'demon spirits' and ghost demon kings can continue to live in the 'Yinfeng Valley', but they are not allowed to devour other ghost royals. You undead wizards will also be deprived of the right to enter the 'Yinfeng Valley' and will never be able to set foot in the 'Yinfeng Valley' again. As for the third choice, I believe you should all have guessed it, which is to challenge me head-on. As long as you hit me, the deputy chief referee, If you kill them, you will become "God-defying people" and completely control the "Yinfeng Valley". You will no longer be restricted by anything and can cultivate "Demon Spirits" at will. Even if you exterminate all the Ghost Royal Family and even the Devouring Ghost Family, no one will interfere. Anyway, some of you have killed some "law enforcers" of the Undead Race, and have the title of "God-defying people", and have gained some benefits from it. If you have enough courage, you might as well come to me for a try. I am a higher-level deputy chief judge. Killing me can gain greater benefits! Of course, I will not show mercy. I hope you must think carefully before challenging and be prepared to pay a heavier price. Once you are killed by me in the challenge, not only will you lose 5% of your mental power limit, you will also completely lose all the Devouring Ghost Family's subordinates, including the "Demon Spirits", the Ghost Demon King, and the Royal Family, and you will never be able to step into the "Yinfeng Valley" again in your life. You must be cautious and cannot quit halfway. There is no regret medicine to buy."
"This condition is too harsh, sacrificing so many of our interests at once. Isn't it forcing us to give up our development in the 'Dark Wind Valley'?" After hearing the conditions offered by Yebulato, after a period of silence, a brave "newborn calf" finally questioned the high-ranking deputy chief judge, unwilling to give up his interests in the "Dark Wind Valley". After all, according to the options given by Yebulato, unless you take the risk to challenge it, if you want to end it peacefully, whether you choose the first or second option, you will completely lose the possibility of cultivating a "demon spirit". Cultivating a "demon spirit" with the ability of "teleportation" to further enhance its own protection has almost become the dream of all necromancers, especially those who have the hope of achieving it, and will not be willing to give up easily.
"This is the price you have to pay for your previous disregard for the consequences of the extinction of the royal family and your malicious and deformed development. I am here to give you a final ultimatum and impose necessary punishment on your past evil deeds and the consequences. There is no room for bargaining. Either you choose to accept the first or second option, or you choose to challenge me directly. There is no fourth way." Yebuladuo's tone was firm. Obviously, there was no room for negotiation. The handling opinions made by the "law enforcer" should be impossible to change, not to mention that he is the deputy chief referee, who only gives us the right to passively choose.
"Respected deputy chief judge, could you give us some time to discuss and then give a reply? After all, so many people are involved and they all have different ideas. It's hard to come up with a unified opinion right away." Qiu Shui Changtian, Qing Wu Fei Yang and I still refused to step forward. Tian Xing, who was the most responsible, had to speak out under the pressure of many undead wizards who had contacted him, trying to buy some buffer time.
"Okay, I'll give you five days. You must come up with a conclusion within five days. Gather here and give me a definite answer on behalf of all of you undead wizards. Otherwise, I will think that you have automatically chosen the third option and will start the 'law enforcer' challenge procedure. I will execute the 'heavenly punishment'. The relevant personnel will be attacked and hunted down by me. At the same time, during these five days, you are not allowed to take actions that endanger the Ghost Royal Family, such as taming or instructing your demon kings to devour, etc. You must be in a state . Otherwise, if any action that is unfavorable to the Ghost Royal Family occurs, it will also be considered that you have given up the first and second options and are challenging me. The relevant personnel will suffer. "Go to 'Heavenly Punishment'. Remember to think carefully within these five days, and don't try to challenge my authority. Compared with the normal loss, the consequences of doing so will be more cruel to you." I don't know whether it is because of fear of trouble or worrying about damaging the interests of our necromancers, Yebulato has been warning us not to try to challenge it, but I don't think it is just a false threat. The deputy chief judge should at least have the powerful strength of a holy beast, plus the unique "Heavenly Punishment" skill, which doubles the power. I dare not say that it is impossible to kill it, but it will definitely cost a heavy price, which I am afraid is really not something we can afford.
They came and went in a hurry. After another dark and stormy day, the Nightbrat disappeared. It should be that they used the unique spatial transfer ability of the "law enforcers" and returned to the space where they lived. We were only given five days, and we must discuss and decide our countermeasures during this period. Should we give up most of the interests of "Yellow Wind Valley" or challenge the Nightbrat and strive to kill it to become a "god-defying person" and gain full control of "Yellow Wind Valley". Every alliance of forces and almost all the top undead wizards are involved in this matter. They have successfully cultivated or are cultivating "demon spirits". Faced with such a sudden crisis, they have to temporarily put aside their past grudges and gather together to discuss countermeasures to see how to respond to or deal with the ever-changing demon spirit Nightbrat and solve this trouble.
After a lot of noise, the representatives of the necromancers from various forces and interest groups expressed their opinions. From the perspective of themselves and their own groups, they proposed and formed several different solutions. Those necromancers who have not yet been able to possess "demon spirits" and are trying their best to cultivate them are naturally unwilling to easily give up the interests of "Yellow Wind Valley". They strongly advocated to go to war with Yebulado. There are also a small number of necromancers who are particularly brave and want to get the basic mental power increase reward after killing the "law enforcer". They hope to join forces to fight like the "law enforcer" Aristotle of the corpse witch clan, and strive to kill him and obtain the benefits in this regard. Unlike that time, the main target was our four witch kings, and only the four of us benefited directly in the end. This time, so many necromancers are involved, and they are all qualified to officially participate in this battle and can directly obtain the basic mental power increase reward, hoping to gain some advantages in the melee. Some other undead wizards who have already cultivated the Ghost Demon King and devoured a sufficient number of Ghost Royals and are currently being tempered in the holy land "Wind Cave" and may be transformed into "Demon Spirits" at any time tend to prefer the second option proposed by Yebulado. Anyway, the rest is basically the Demon King's own business and he doesn't need their help, so it won't be a big loss for them.
As for the undead wizards like us who have already conquered the "demon spirits" and possessed the ability of "teleportation", although we are the fewest in number, almost everyone is a top-level undead wizard. Once the war with Nightbrother breaks out, it can be said that they are the indispensable and absolute main force, and their words are the most important. In fact, the dozen of us should be the easiest to make a choice. We have already obtained the benefits we need, and the focus of development has shifted to other places one after another. At most, we just take care of it from time to time, and it is impossible to invest more energy in the "Yinfeng Valley". However, Qiu Shui Changtian, Qingwu Feiyang, Yeyou and others also have their own concerns. On the one hand, they don't want to provoke a war with Abrato and take too much risk. On the other hand, they need to take care of the opinions of the undead wizards who are attached to or friendly with them. They dare not openly force them to give up cultivating "demon spirits". They are all vague and have no definite opinions, which makes the parties stalemate for a while, unable to reach a consensus, and unable to discuss a choice that can be recognized by everyone.
