The nine previous Mountain Patrol Envoys of Ghost Ridge really turned out as Tan Shuchang had guessed. Your next chapter awaits on .Côm
Involuntarily, Tan Shuchang recalled the entrance thods of the two Two-Proof Yin Gods from the Ghost Path, and suddenly the previous points that seed filled with plot holes now felt completely appropriate.
It turned out that the two were there for a reason...
However, upon hearing these words, the old man with blood-red hair felt darkness creep before his eyes and, sowhat irate, he asked, "So, will you or will you not offer boys and girls?"
"I currently have no enemies with suitable boys or girls," Tan Shuchang replied.
"Another bookworm, get out!"
The old man with red hair unconsciously revealed a look of "just as I expected" and then waved his hand to dismiss Tan Shuchang.
After all, he had clearly understood what Tan Shuchang had said.
Having no boys and girls among enemies ant—no delivery.
"Weren’t you going to strike , senior?" Tan Shuchang did not leave; instead, he stared at the peach which, despite emitting a dense blood light, was constantly shimring with rainbow hues, his eyes filled with amusent.
Due to walking the Ghost Path, this Hundred Death Ren Water Spirit Peach seed quite malevolent, but indeed it was an advanced elixir of the Ren Water Peach.
Although he didn’t know how that skeleton had been found, now that the treasure had been located, it would be impossible to return empty-handed.
"Are you truly seeking death, you bookworm?"
The old man with red hair narrowed his eyes, a hint of blood light brewing within them, and as he finished speaking, a towering torrent of blood erupted.
"Very well, I shall grant your wish! Let show you what a Thousand Year Dao is like!" His voice sharpening, the old man’s form began to twist, transforming into a sinister blood-red demon tree, with tens of thousands of bone claws dangling from it.
Its aura was like hell, utterly terrifying.
Upon witnessing this scene, Tan Shuchang’s expression remained unchanged, and he continued with a calm voice, "Then, junior thanks the senior for granting this..."
Before he could finish, Tan Shuchang’s entire form transford into a pool of undulating fresh red blood which sparkled with golden light.
As this pool of blood appeared, a vast expanse of blood light scattered forth, piercing through the area greatly, and suddenly a scream echoed in the void.
It was a barely discernible figure disintegrating.
At that mont, the blood-red demon tree, which was the old man, was shocked upon seeing this, as with the appearance of the pool of blood, his entire form felt an omnipresent sense of stagnation.
Seeing the golden light above the blood, he was even more astounded because he had heard in the past from the True Self Young Master about a unique creature with such characteristics.
Because that was a true-born divine being.
"Immortal path..."
The blood-red demon tree exclaid in shock, but Tan Shuchang did not give him a chance to finish, and as the land, beautiful with mountains and rivers, suddenly trembled, he uprooted the peach tree.
The Blood Pool manifested, and a titanic blood wave struck the treasure, forcing it down.
"Senior, villains die from talking too much; I hope you rember this lesson," Tan Shuchang said, clothed in a dark robe fluttering in the wind, as he resud his human form.
In his undying blood form, even though the old man with red hair possessed over a thousand years of Dao, he was directly subdued by Tan Shuchang.
Because without killing the old man with red hair, there was no way to forcibly take the Hundred Death Ren Water Spirit Peach.
And with the death of the old man with red hair, that blood-red peach tree withered as well.
That left Tan Shuchang feeling sowhat regretful, but capturing a thousand robust people to satisfy the appetite of the peach tree was out of the question, so his regret was only brief.
Then, weighing the Hundred Death Ren Water Spirit Peach in his hand, Tan Shuchang was not in a rush to return to Shenxu Heaven; rather, he curiously regarded a certain skeleton.
For at that mont, the skeleton was stretching open its arms as if sensing sothing.
Then, sothing unthinkable happened before Tan Shuchang—the skeleton vanished right before his eyes.
anwhile, Tan Shuchang sensed a ssage coming from the unguided soul banner.
Another dicinal treasure discovered!
Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but gaze into the distance, only to see a skeleton that had appeared thousands of miles away. The place where the skeleton lay now had the sa "restrictive power" as the mountain temple, making it impossible for him to sense specifics.
"This skeleton has quite the origin..." Tan Shuchang thought, and a blood-shadow incarnation, ahead of him, shuttled through the void and left.
He, on the other hand, rode the clouds and traveled with the wind.
Tan Shuchang arrived at the location of the skeleton and saw that it was situated in a valley. The valley still looked lush with vegetation, and the gentle flowing of stream water could be heard occasionally.
However, unlike the site where the Hundred Death Ren Water Spirit Peach was located, this place was far from calm, quite lively, in fact.
When Tan Shuchang arrived, a banquet was being held.
Because the skeleton had appeared so suddenly, it was currently being entwined by snake-bodied won with two human heads, who were spirits, seemingly transford from the beautiful serpent-beasts of the Mountain-Sea Beast after death.
The beautiful serpent-beasts, with a human face on a snake body and a flat head, were nad for their clear brows and eyes, resembling human features. These two, however, had entirely human heads from the neck up.
Their necks downward, were all snake.
Yet Tan Shuchang referred to them as won because, after they had secured the skeleton, the positions of their tails drove smoke while flicking, morphing directly into legs.
Perfect long legs, indeed.
Originally, having seized this abrupt skeleton, these two won were about to retreat, but Tan Shuchang appeared suddenly, so the two won attacked him.
In response to such disrespectful individuals, Tan Shuchang naturally did not utter a word and casually flicked his sleeves, dispersing the two won completely.
These two won possessed the ability to gather and disperse at will, and among the fierce spirits, they were notable figures, but Tan Shuchang’s casual flick deprived the two spirits of any chance to regroup.
By now, Tan Shuchang was already surveying the inside of the valley.
There was nothing particularly special inside the valley, with the sole exception being the ongoing banquet. The banquet did not consist entirely of spirits.
Besides the spirit sitting at the center acting as the host—a Ghost Path Two-Proof Yin God—the seat to his left held a cultivator of imposing appearance dressed in regular clothes, but the badge hanging from his belt confird his identity as a Mountain Patrol Envoy.
Beneath the Mountain Patrol Envoy were over a dozen pot-bellied n dressed as wealthy landlords, whose flamboyant and casual deanors clearly signaled their status as either rich or noble—not your ordinary rich and noblen.
Sitting to the right of the host were several fierce ghosts, presumably underlings of the host Yin God, for ghosts alone undoubtedly had no cause to be seated at the table.
While Tan Shuchang was surveying these individuals, they too were examining him. Seeing the badge on Tan Shuchang, one of the pot-bellied n couldn’t help but laugh.
"So it’s a Mountain Patrol Envoy, haha, you must also know of the maturing treasure here! Brother Chen, do you recognize this Mountain Patrol Envoy?"
Upon hearing this, the imposing-looking Mountain Patrol Envoy, dressed in ordinary clothes, withdrew his gaze from Tan Shuchang and nonchalantly said, "Although I too am a Mountain Patrol Envoy, I ca here voluntarily. So, not everyone is worth my acquaintance."
Arrogance saturated his words.
At this mont, the host Yin God looked at Tan Shuchang, simply smiled, and said, "Since you’re a Mountain Patrol Envoy, I’ll give you face. From now on, offer up twelve pairs of boys and girls every month. Not only can you attend this treasure banquet, but you can also attend the one half a sexagenary cycle later! My treasure here has only just matured its first batch!"
Hearing this, Tan Shuchang still did not speak because he was observing the items laid out on the banquet table.
The table was neatly set with delicious Spirit Fruits, ingot-shaped candles made of special materials, ticulously cooked Mountain-Sea Beast ingredients, but there were also blood-drenched infant bodies, clearly accommodating the tastes of several attendees.
However, the blood-drenched infant bodies were placed in front of the pot-bellied n, not in front of the fierce ghosts.
Thus, Tan Shuchang said, "Thank you kindly for your generous offer, Your Highness. However, offering every month is rather troubleso, so how about you bestow that treasure upon instead?"
The host Yin God, upon hearing this, was instantly stunned, his eyes glowing a dismal green as he widened them in surprise and questioned, "Are you joking with ?"
"It was Your Highness who first joked with ," Tan Shuchang spoke and then made his move.
