Chapter 97 Soul Flower

"Protect... Huang Long... Don't... retreat..."

The Ghost King, who had become a ghost cultivator, had already developed a certain level of awareness. He was not scared away by Fang Chen like the other souls, but he also realized that he was not someone to be trifled with.

What surprised Fang Chen was that the ghost king actually spoke human words intermittently.

Generally speaking, only ghost cultivators who have reached the fifth level of Qi training and possessed wisdom can learn human language.

However, when I think about the memories of those demon cultivators who are good at playing with souls, they highly respect ghost cultivators like the Ghost King who were born on their own. This must be one of the characteristics of the Ghost King.

"Huanglong City has been lost, but I have avenged you."

Seeing that he could speak, Fang Chen tried to communicate with him.

However, there was no effect.

"Protect... Huang Long... Don't... retreat..."

The Ghost King still repeated these words.

Fang Chen's mind moved, and he remembered something, and took out the soldiers' swords from the storage bag.

There was no armor, either because the war was over and the armor was left in the barracks, or because the soldiers' cheating rate was not high.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Sure enough, when the Ghost King saw these swords, he immediately became excited, and even his words changed and became much more fluent.

"Still can't communicate normally?"

Fang Chen frowned. If the naturally born Ghost King could be subdued, it would be a great help in the future.

So I simply ignored him and went into the mass grave to look for the lightning-struck wood.

The Ghost King also knew that Fang Chen was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not stop him.

The spiritual thoughts were released and stayed on every plant in the mass grave. The yin energy here was extremely heavy, and it was very likely that spiritual plants related to the soul would be born here.

Name: Sophora japonica

Features: None

……

It is not surprising that there is more than one dead tree in the mass grave.

Normally speaking, human corpses are excellent nutrients for plants, and the plants growing in mass graves should be very lush.

However, in order to prevent the plague, the soldiers would burn the corpses from time to time, and the plants planted here would also suffer.

Every tree looks bare.

Judging from the appearance, it is difficult to tell which tree was struck by lightning.

Fang Chen could only try them one by one.

After walking a few dozen steps, a flower with a strange appearance appeared in his eyes. He knew without thinking that it was most likely a spiritual plant related to the soul that was born here.

“Finally, there are some gains.”

Fang Chen was delighted and was about to go forward to check the condition of the spiritual plant.

“Don’t… come near…”

However, before he had taken a few steps, the middle-aged ghost king suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

Just as many wild spiritual plants are guarded by monsters, this spiritual plant related to the soul is guarded by the Ghost King.

"You are not my opponent, why bother to stop me?"

Fang Chen knew that the Ghost King had a certain degree of wisdom, so he decided to resolve the problem through negotiation.

The main reason was that he wanted to subdue the Ghost King, otherwise the Ghost King would disappear into thin air with just a random spiritual thought.

Even though he was only at the fifth level of Qi training, the strength of his spiritual power was already comparable to that of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training. It was extremely easy for him to deal with the Ghost King, who was only at the first level of Qi training.

"We are one, protecting our compatriots!"

The Ghost King suddenly roared, and the souls that had been hiding because of fear of Fang Chen now appeared and all rushed towards him.

"Born to gather souls? No wonder the Ghost King Palace is named after the Ghost King. The Ghost King Palace's ability to gather souls must have been based on the real Ghost King."

Fang Chen was not surprised to see this scene. His own more than a thousand souls also knew this trick, that is, gathering souls. He also understood why the palace-shaped ghost weapon was called the Ghost King Palace.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen became more determined to subdue the ghost king. He laughed and said, "I admire you very much. After you submit to me, I will make you the Central Ghost Emperor."

According to folk legends in the world of cultivation, the Great Emperor of Fengdu rules over the five ghost emperors of the east, west, south, north and center.

But soon, he stopped laughing.

It’s not that the Ghost King is very powerful after gathering souls, but the number of souls gathered by the Ghost King is really too many.

Not only the mass grave, but also many souls flew over from Huanglong City and merged with it.

"Five thousand, six thousand...ten thousand. My goodness, even if we kill all the residents of Huanglong City, we still won't be able to gather this many souls, right?"

This number of souls is indeed a bit exaggerated, when you think about it, behind each soul, there is the death of a living life.

It's really hard to laugh.

You should know that not all souls can stay in the world after death. Most of them will dissipate within half an hour.

More than ten thousand souls means at least more than one hundred thousand people died at the hands of the soldiers from Huanglong City.

These are just some of the invaders.

The source of everything was nothing more than the dispute between the two sects reflected in the mortal world. Without the power of the cultivators, the invaded Tian Kingdom had no possibility of resistance.

Just like Fang Chen killed those mortal soldiers with just a thought, for a foundation-building sect, invading a mortal country is also a piece of cake.

Then, these immortal cultivation sects just walked away.

No one cares about the tragedy that happened here.

In any case, the massacre will only last for a period of time in the beginning, and it won't be long before the population returns to normal.

Fang Chen even suspected whether the immortal sects were instigating these massacres.

After all, Su Ming admitted it himself that many immortal sects were trading with Xing Yuehai.

Has the blood sacrifice method from the evil cultivators spread throughout the entire cultivation world?
Li Ji, a casual cultivator at the first level of Qi training, was able to obtain the blood-sucking magic skill as bait released by the demon cultivator. It was no surprise that these sects possessed the blood sacrifice method.

Both Huoyun Sect and Feiyun Sect are of this kind. If the top beam is not straight, how can we expect the bottom beams to be straight?

While Fang Chen was thinking, the Ghost King in front of him had already completed gathering his soul.

His cultivation finally stopped at the eighth level of Qi training.

This is already not easy. After all, those more than 10,000 souls have not transformed into ghost cultivators, and can provide little help to the Ghost King.

"Now that your cultivation has improved, we should be able to communicate properly, right?"

After the Ghost King's aura stabilized, Fang Chen started communicating again.

"I, I'm still alive?!"

The Ghost King, who possessed complete wisdom, did not pay attention to Fang Chen at first, but was surprised at his own condition.

It seems that this is also his first time to activate the soul gathering technique.

"You are already dead, but your will is strong enough. After death, you became the ghost king of this place. By gathering souls, you raised your cultivation to the eighth level of Qi training and recovered all your memories before death."

Fang Chen briefly recounted what had happened in order to lower the Ghost King's guard.

"You are the immortal from the Lingshui Sect?!"

The Ghost King then noticed Fang Chen's presence, his eyes turned red, and he asked angrily.

“I don’t know what the Lingshui Sect you are talking about is. As for my identity, I am the mayor of Yuehua Xiancheng.”

As Fang Chen spoke, he took advantage of the Ghost King's moment of thought and quickly walked to the front of the strange flower.

With a quick glance, he got the information.

Name: Soul Flower
Level: First-class

Features: Soul
Soul Nourishing: Nourish the disembodied soul in the petals, while absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and converting it into Yin energy and storing it in the petals, making the soul within stronger.
