“Black Mountain!”

Speaking of the coexistence of humans and ghosts, it’s merely lip service. When the human essence isn’t enough to suppress vengeful spirits, there will naturally be continuous deadly incidents. A nearby town has already become a slaughterhouse or, more appropriately, a feast for ghosts — a haunting banquet where all varieties of spirits gather for their feast.

Roar!

Although there are no ghost creatures inside the survey range that would invoke one’s desire to devour, the command from the master was clear-cut. As soon as his words fell, a black wolf, surrounded in wan-blue ghostly fire on all fours, rushed towards the town.

The more the black wolf ran, the stronger the ghost fire on its body became. Its size didn’t increase, just like an ordinary, fierce wolf-dog.

But its fire seemed to have a conscious mind of its own. With each step forward, some fire would splinter off and drop behind, forming a ghost flame wolf that was entirely built from fire. Its appearance and size were identical to Black Mountain.

When Black Mountain charged to the entrance archway of the town, there were nearly three hundred ghost flame wolves following behind. The unbroken ranks displayed tremendous power. Their burning wan-blue ghost flames even lit up half of the town’s sky.

However, at this moment, the town was unusually quiet. Doors and windows of every home were tightly shut with no sounds heard, and there were no signs of reaction even with such unusual movement.

Howl!

Black Mountain stood on the street in the middle of the town, tilted its head, roared towards the sky. Like the thick demon qi from Black Mountain erupted into the sky, instantly punctured a huge hole in the heavy and oppressive dark clouds overhead. With this opening as a starting point, the rain clouds hanging over the town were forcefully scattered in all directions.

The bright and clear moonlight suddenly revealed itself from behind the clouds, and its dull glow was cast upon the town that was completely soaked in rain, just as it did on the wan-blue ghost flame wolves that had already rushed towards different places in town.

Whoo!

The sobbing-like whistle resounded but got cut off abruptly with a wolf’s howl before it could last for long. The ghost flame wolf, which had swallowed a ghost creature, visibly grew larger in size.

The replenished ghost flame wolf was as if it had a mind of its own. It wiggled its tail in excitement, and even greedy eyes were visible in its pupils made up entirely of fire as it continued to look for its next target.

“The Young Master does know how to rear a dog!”

Seeing the ghost qi, which was almost mixed with human essence in the town that it was indistinguishable, visibly dissipated at a steady pace, the Ghost General holding the skeletal greatsword praised with appreciation.

If it’s just about killing or even slightly more complex, leading the fight, he could handle it with ease. But, to eliminate all the ghost creatures that are almost mixed with humans in a short amount of time, while ensuring the safety of the human race, would be a bit tricky.

The trickiest part about ghost creatures came from the word ‘tricky,’ especially those in large quantities but had no physical form, being illusive and weak.

They could hide in a dark corner or in the crevice of a wall, or even a mirror, a comb, a piece of paper, a pen could be their hideout.

If they were in the underworld, there would be no worries; a roar could easily wipe out thousands of them. But in the human world, facing these ghost creatures mixed with humans, the approach obviously couldn’t be the same. Otherwise, while wiping out these ghost creatures, he would also end up wiping out the humans.

“It’s not a dog, it’s a wolf. And it’s the strongest wolf king that I’m looking to subdue!”

Watching Black Mountain’s performance with satisfaction, Feng Qing’an corrected the Ghost General seriously, instead of laughing upon hearing his praise.

“The Ghost Wolf King? I understand now!”

Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Xu Wuding immediately understood. The young master’s primary target of his search was the Specter Wolf Demon Nation, and the Ghost Wolf, who was wreaking havoc and devouring malicious ghosts in the town, was the refitted Ghost Wolf King. His intention couldn’t have been more transparent.

“Hmm!”

Feng Qing’an nodded his head, took his eyes back from the vicinity of the town that was almost swallowed by the ghosts and looked at the looming black gap behind them.

This was a crevice that linked the human world with the underworld and it was just newly formed, created by Xu Wuding himself.

This extraordinary situation also weighed heavily on Feng Qing’an’s heart, for he knew under normal circumstances, stronger ghost species from the underworld striving to enter the human world would have to pay an enormously painful price. It shouldn’t be this easy.

Even for something powerful like Dong Huang, even though she has a stronger foundation than her present state, descending to the human world would require her to pay a painful price.

Yet now, merely a lower-level ghost creature could easily create a crevice to the human world. How could this not be worrying?

If the Ghost Kings from the underworld could lead their minions to the human world freely, in not very long, every corner of the human world would become a purgatory of the underworld.

But normally, this would not be possible. Only under extremely special circumstances would there be a gate connecting the human world and the underworld, a gate that could be created by the Ghost King.

That is, when the environment in the human world deteriorates rapidly to the point it’s extremely close to the underworld. Under the resonance of the Laws of the Universe, these two, which are supposedly overlapping together at some level, would naturally collide, allowing the gate connecting the human world and the underworld to form. Even without a Ghost King intentionally creating it, there would appear a gate connecting the human world and the underworld in sequence.
