Chapter 96 Ghost King
"There's no need to ask for directions. The yin energy is too strong. It's obviously not normal."

As soon as he arrived in Huanglong City, Fang Chen noticed something was wrong.

The yin energy here is obviously too heavy.

Even if there was a mass grave nearby, it shouldn't have gotten to this extent.

There is only one possibility, that is, all the people who died in the mass grave were filled with resentment, and only in this way could a ghost cultivator be born.

Otherwise, the soul will dissipate immediately at the moment of death.

"Or you should leave quickly."

When Fang Chen discovered this situation, his first thought was to leave.

Compared to souls and unknown treasures, one's own life is obviously more precious.

However, what happened next made him give up his idea.

A group of people wearing armor and dressed as soldiers came out of Huanglong City. Behind them was a carriage with a wooden frame filled with corpses.

For a moment, the bloody smell drifted to Fang Chen, making him frown. He thought about it and used a little trick to hide himself.

This trick only works on mortals and cannot be hidden from monks.

But it is enough to face this group of soldiers.

"Hurry up, hurry up. If we don't get rid of the bodies quickly, it will cause an epidemic."

"Throw it over to the mass grave as well? I heard that there are hundreds of demons roaming there at night recently, and it's very dangerous."

"What about the night parade of a hundred ghosts? That's all nonsense. Where do ghosts come from in this world? Besides, it's broad daylight. Why should we be afraid of ghosts?"

"That's right, what's more, we are just collecting the bodies of these bitches, we are doing a good deed, and we will not be held responsible for any wrongs we inflict."

……

Following this team of soldiers and listening to their conversations along the way, Fang Chen roughly understood what was happening here.

war.

The Tian Kingdom, which originally ruled Huanglong City, belonged to a certain foundation-building sect.

The foundation-building cultivator of this sect died not long ago, so the foundation-building sect that was at odds with him took the opportunity to wipe out the cultivator and ordered the Chen State under its jurisdiction to annex Tian Guo.

Not only that, several surrounding countries bordering Tian State also wanted to get a piece of the pie, and Tian State could not resist at all.

Most of the residents of Huanglong City died in the massacre by Chen State soldiers, which led to the mass graves outside.

To prevent the plague, Chen soldiers would dump corpses in mass graves and burn them regularly.

Most of the new corpses were young women.

It’s easy to guess what the reason is.

"Ugh--"

Fang Chen sighed secretly. The sects and families in this world of cultivation were all closely connected with the mortal world, which meant that once a sect or family collapsed, the mortals who followed them would also suffer.

The sect may still need to recruit disciples from among the mortals and will not carry out any massacres, but when they take over these mortal territories, they will still let their mortal affiliates take action.

These people do not have the awareness of a sect that cultivates immortality.

They just thought that this was a former enemy country that had been occupied, and burning, killing and looting were just normal actions.

After sighing, Fang Chen revealed his figure.

"who?"

Seeing Fang Chen suddenly appear, the soldiers immediately became alert and tightened their swords.

"I hope you will be born into a good family in your next life."

Fang Chen said nothing and directly killed their souls with his spiritual power.

Then he took out two pots of Yin Ling locust trees and released all the more than a thousand ghost cultivators. He then released his spiritual clones and merged them into a great ghost cultivator of the twelfth level of Qi training.

"If you enter the city and see anyone dressed like this, kill them all."

The spiritual clone has now surpassed the fifth level of Qi training and has a certain degree of intelligence, so it can understand what Fang Chen is saying.

Since he had been soul-marked, he had to obey Fang Chen's orders, so he nodded and entered Huanglong City.

Fang Chen stayed where he was.

Ever since the Yin Ling locust tree was taken out, souls have been running out of the bodies of these soldiers.

The soldiers' souls have been destroyed by Fang Chen, so these souls can only come from those they killed.

It seems that there are quite a few of them. This is not difficult to understand. Huanglong City is definitely not the first city they have conquered. They have probably done similar things more than once.

Soon, the capacity of the second Yin Ling space also reached its limit.

"Granted characteristic - Yin spirit space."

Fortunately, there were other locust trees in the second-generation immortal palace. Fang Chen created another Yin Ling locust tree, and then used his spiritual power to control the puppet inside and transplant it into the flowerpot.

"After the Herbal Skill was able to condense the essence of plants, these locust trees are growing faster and faster."

Fang Chen's spiritual consciousness looked at these locust trees and he felt a little emotional. A branch that was originally only as high as his calf was now higher than his knee.

And it's also a lot thicker.

It’s a pity that after the Yinling locust tree devoured the essence of plants and trees, its growth was quite limited.

Perhaps the essence of plants is only suitable for ordinary spiritual plants.

Take the third pot of Yinling locust tree outside.

After waiting for a while, no more souls entered the Yin Ling space, so Fang Chen used his spiritual thoughts to explore the new Yin Ling space.

"Wow, there are more than 500 souls, and this is just a small group of soldiers."

Including the second ghost space, there should actually be about 1,400 souls.

That’s more than the one hundred or so people in the Sea Devil Gang combined.

"That's right. Although the Sea Demon Gang's methods are also cruel, they are in the human population business after all. They will deliberately leave some people alive and only kill those who are most resistant. These soldiers are pure murderers."

Fang Chen soon figured it out.

Moreover, these souls do not necessarily all come from the massacre. In a normal battle on the battlefield, the emotions of the soldiers on both sides are very excited.

After killing an enemy, it is normal for the opponent's soul to linger on you.

But on average each person has more than 200 lives, which really cannot be explained by killing enemies on the battlefield.

After absorbing the souls of these people, Fang Chen followed the direction they were moving and soon found the mass grave mentioned by the storyteller.

It was charred here, with the ground covered with ashes and black bones that had not been completely burned.

"There is indeed the aura of a ghost cultivator."

Fang Chen swept his spiritual sense around and could indeed sense traces of ghost cultivation activities in this place.

This is not surprising. With so many souls gathered in this place, it is inevitable that one or two will absorb spiritual energy and become ghost cultivators.

The first soul to become a ghost cultivator will become the ghost king here.

Other souls will also gradually become ghost cultivators under the leadership of the Ghost King.

After all, ghost cultivators have one advantage over ordinary cultivators, and that is that they do not need to rely on spiritual energy.

With only Yin energy, ghost cultivators can also practice.

However, compared to the ghost cultivators in the spiritual environment, they are weaker.

As for the most authentic ghost cultivation, it is best to practice with the help of the Yin spiritual energy.

Fang Chen was able to know all this thanks to the memories of those demon cultivators in the Yin Ling space who were good at playing with souls.

"Granted characteristic - Yin spirit space."

There must be a lot of souls in the mass grave, so Fang Chen created five Yin Ling locust trees in succession to attract these souls.

Including the Yin Ling space where the soul had not yet reached its upper limit, he placed a total of six Yin Ling locust trees in front of the mass grave.

The spiritual energy of Yin has a natural attraction to souls.

However, the Ghost King was born here after all.

Therefore, no soul entered the Yin spiritual space. Instead, they appeared in front of Fang Chen, with green faces and fangs, looking ferocious and evil, as if they wanted to devour him.

Trying to scare him off.

"Stop playing such boring tricks. Where is the Ghost King here?"

Fang Chen snorted coldly and released the aura of a fifth-level Qi training cultivator. The souls that appeared suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Only a middle-aged ghost cultivator was left.

There is no doubt that he is the ghost king here.
