Chapter 1766: The Ghost Emperor Challenges and Gains Secretly
After rescuing the four white-clothed ghosts, Mo Fan did not rush to the Rotten Bone City immediately. Instead, he waited for an incense stick of time. Suddenly, several ghost mists floated out from the tiger pattern mark between his eyebrows.
After the ghost fog was completely condensed, the four ghosts in white immediately recognized them. They were the ghost kings who had besieged them before!
There are five ghost kings in total, three wandering soul ghost kings and two ghost beast ghost kings.
"Meet the master!"
After the five ghost kings took shape, they all bowed respectfully to Mo Fan.
"Well, tell me about the current situation of the Soul Sea."
Mo Fan looked at the five ghost kings, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
The cultivation of these five ghost kings is not weak. Four of them are in the middle stage of Saint Venerable, and one ghost beast that looks like a Yaksha is in the late stage of Saint Venerable.
So Mo Fan originally thought that it would take at least one or two days to transform them into ghosts, but he didn't expect that this time the transformation was completed in just one stick of incense.
This made Mo Fan very happy, and he also understood that the reason why the transformation was so fast was because he understood the law of the soul.
The law of the soul has greatly increased the power of the accomplices.
With the explanation of the five ghost kings, Mo Fan and his party quickly understood the situation of the Soul Sea.
It turns out that the reason why the Soul Sea rioted this time was really related to the previous actions of the three White Bone Ghost Kings.
According to the five ghost kings, the Nine Nether Soul Liquid is a unique product of the Soul Sea, and its quantity is rare. Only one portion of soul liquid can be produced every year. Such a scarce resource is not even used within the Soul Sea, so the powerful ghost cultivators in the entire Soul Sea have designated a restricted area in the place where the soul liquid is produced. Only every ten years will some powerful ghosts fight for a spot and go to the restricted area to obtain the soul liquid.
But later, for some unknown reason, the news leaked out, which directly led to the attack of the Skeleton Ghost Emperor.
That battle caused heavy losses to the Soul Sea, but the Skeleton Ghost Emperor did not gain any advantage either, because he alarmed the powerful Ghost Emperor in the Soul Sea and was eventually defeated.
However, since that battle, Ghost Kings under the command of the Withered Bone Ghost Emperor would go to the Soul Sea from time to time to intercept the soul liquid, and even launched several large-scale wars for this purpose, which alarmed the Withered Bone Ghost Emperor to take action personally.
Although the Skeleton Ghost Emperor would be repelled every time he attacked, it would also cause huge casualties in the soul sea, the cost of which far exceeded the soul fluids that were intercepted.
Because of this, the Soul Sea adopted a different strategy and began to shrink its power to the depths of the Soul Sea, only releasing some evil spirits without intelligence to the restricted area to form a barrier.
Although this barrier can block most ghost cultivators, it is still not enough when several ghost kings join forces.
Gradually, the ghost kings under the command of the Skeleton Ghost Emperor and the powerful ghosts in the Soul Sea formed a tacit understanding.
As long as these ghost kings don't intercept too much, the strong ones in the Soul Sea will just turn a blind eye. But if these ghosts intercept too much, then there's no way they'll get out of the Soul Sea.
Because of this, the Skeleton Ghost Emperor did not take action again, but only ordered the Ghost Emperors under his command to intercept the soul liquid.
In the final analysis, the Soul Sea is afraid of the Skeleton Ghost Emperor, and the Skeleton Ghost Emperor is also afraid of the Soul Sea.
Because it is rumored that there is more than one powerful Ghost Emperor sleeping in the Soul Sea!
Mo Fan was shocked after hearing this. He had never thought that the Soul Sea could be so powerful. However, when he inquired further, the five ghost kings all shook their heads, indicating that they were not sure whether it was true.
The tacit understanding between the Skeleton Ghost Emperor and the Soul Sea lasted for thousands of years, until not long ago, a ghost beast in the Soul Sea broke through to the Great Saint Realm and became the new Ghost Emperor of the Soul Sea, finally breaking the balance!
This new Ghost Emperor was transformed from a Nine-Infant Ghost Beast. It was brutal by nature and was severely injured by the Skeleton Ghost Emperor thousands of years ago. Now that it has become the Ghost Emperor, it is ambitious and naturally wants to take revenge.
Therefore, it directly took advantage of the fact that the White Bone Ghost King invaded the forbidden area of Soul Sea and stole soul liquid as an excuse to push the ghost kings outside the entire Soul Sea to launch an invasion of the White Bone Ghost Realm.
This time, there are more than thirty Ghost Kings and more than a thousand Ghost Generals. There are countless evil spirits below the Saint Emperor realm, as many as two or three hundred million!
"So many Soul Sea armies are actually just the forces on the periphery of the Soul Sea?"
After learning everything, Mo Fan couldn't help but gasp.
The overall strength of this soul sea is a bit too terrifying.
But then, Mo Fan's heart started to heat up. Two or three hundred million evil spirits in the sea of souls, as well as more than thirty ghost kings, were rare resources for him!
"Since the Soul Sea Army is so powerful, why do they just besiege the three ghost cities instead of launching a direct attack?" Bai Yi suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan also looked at the five ghost kings with a puzzled look on his face.
"Because the Soul Sea Ghost Emperor's target is not the three major ghost cities, but more ghost kings, or in other words, the Withered Bone Ghost Emperor!"
"So he ordered us to surround but not attack, and at the same time arranged for some ghost kings to go deep into the territory of the Skeleton Ghost Emperor to spread the news that the three major ghost cities were under siege." The five ghost kings replied.
"So that's how it is. But didn't the Soul Sea Ghost Emperor just break through to the Great Saint Realm? Is he so confident that he can deal with the long-famous Withered Bones Ghost Emperor?" asked the man in white doubtfully.
"We don't know that."
The five ghost kings shook their heads. Although they were ghost kings, they didn't know much about Jiuying, the Ghost Emperor of the Soul Sea.
"Whatever his schemes are, they have nothing to do with us. On the contrary, we can take advantage of the fight between these two Ghost Emperors and secretly gain benefits!"
Seeing that Bai Yi was still frowning, Mo Fan smiled slightly.
He had never thought of coming into conflict with the two Ghost Emperors. All he wanted were the Ghost Kings and the endless evil spirits.
So next, Mo Fan ordered the five ghost kings to use their secret method to send a message to the ghost kings in the Soul Sea Army, asking them to come here for reinforcement.
Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by the Soul Sea Ghost Emperor who was secretly watching the battlefield, Mo Fan did not let the five ghost kings lure the remaining twenty or so ghost kings all at once, but lured them in batches of five.
In order to attract these ghost kings, Mo Fan directly unfolded the Soul-Devouring Banner, turning it into a black river again. At the same time, he and the four ghosts in white hid in it, and then asked Bai Yi to take out all the endless Nine Nether Pills that he had refined before.
In addition to the pure Yin energy contained in the Jiuyou Pill, the biggest feature is that it emits a strange fragrance, and this fragrance has a fatal attraction to undead ghosts!
Looking at the pile of Nine Nether Pills in front of him that looked like a small mountain, Mo Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
There is no doubt that with so many Nine Nether Pills as bait, as long as the ghost kings come, they will definitely be attracted!
In fact it is.
After waiting for less than an incense stick of time, five ghost kings arrived.
Originally, these ghost kings were stationed in the army under the orders of the Ghost Emperor of the Soul Sea to besiege the three major ghost cities, but they suddenly received a call for help from the five major ghost minions.
Originally, the five ghost kings did not want to set off, but the five ghost minions told them that there was a powerful ghost holy weapon here, which immediately aroused their interest.
The Nine Netherworld is already short of supplies, let alone the Ghostly Holy Weapons. Most of the Ghost Kings' weapons are just ghost treasures, which are far from comparable to the Ghostly Holy Weapons.
