1863 Southern Region (1)

“You are the village head?” A man with a disfiguring scar on his face narrowed his eyes at Su Lei.

“I am.” Su Lei responded solemnly.

“Good.” The scarred-faced man smiled, revealing his decayed teeth. “Take all of your food out. Anyone who dares to hide will be killed on the spot.”

Su Lei frowned while speaking. “We are under the Flower Ghost Queen’s jurisdiction and have no right to give away her belongings. If you want to borrow our food, you should contact her subordinates and obtain permission first.”

Of course, Su Lei was aware of the possibility that something had happened to the Flower Ghost Queen. He questioned the soldiers in order to gather more information from them.

“Hehe. Do you think we are unaware of this?” The man laughed coldly. “Your Flower Ghost Queen can’t even save herself right now. If our Snake Ghost King hadn’t instructed us to be lenient, none of you would have the opportunity to talk with me like this.”

“Hurry up! Take all the food out!”

His loud voice immediately frightened the villagers.

Su Lei furrowed his brow. During the conversation, he picked up one crucial point. The Snake Ghost King was usually arrogant and viewed everyone as insignificant. The fact that he instructed his soldiers to show leniency suggests that the Flower Ghost Queen may have a chance of returning.

He thought for a moment and then turned to look at every one. “Please cooperate with them.”

The villagers inwardly sighed. They knew it would end like this, but they didn’t blame Su Lei at all. After all, they were too weak.

The villagers returned to their houses and brought sacks of wheat, piling them up in front of the ghost soldiers.

“That’s all we have.” Su Lei said calmly.

“That’s all?” The man frowned. Before arriving here, he had heard that this wandering ghost town was exceptionally rich in food, but the quantity of food in front of him was disappointingly small.

“It’s not harvest season yet. This is the food we have from last year.” Su Lei explained.

The scarred-faced man spread his spiritual sense and swiftly located the wheat fields.

His expression turned cold as he spoke. “There are many wheats on those fields. Bring them all.”

Su Lei’s expression changed slightly. “No. They are not ready yet. Even if you take them away, it will be useless.”

The man grinned evilly. His aura immediately enveloped the entire area, making it difficult for the villagers to breathe. “Do I need to repeat myself?”

Su Lei suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke solemnly. “Wait for a moment.”

The villagers had no choice. They quickly ran to their fields and harvested the immature wheat with heavy hearts.

Soon, the wheat was collected and placed in front of the ghost soldiers.

“Very good.” The scarred-faced man nodded with satisfaction. He scanned the crowd with his eyes and spoke. “I will return in two months. I expect to see a mountain of food waiting for me by then.”

He waved his hand and left. “Let’s go!”

The ghost soldiers gleefully confiscated the food and departed from the town, leaving behind the resentful stares of the townspeople.

“What should we do, Uncle Su?” The young man asked with a helpless expression.

Su Lei let out a long sigh. “We need to first determine the situation of the Flower Ghost Queen. As long as she is still alive, we can maintain our peace.”

The villagers glanced at each other and sighed. This was the only thing they could hope for.

Amidst the crowd, Zhao Ming watched as everything unfolded. There was a hint of fury and struggle in his eyes. He appeared to be unable to make a decision.

“This is bad.” Yun Lintian unknowingly appeared beside Zhao Ming with Gui Xuan in his arms.

Zhao Ming was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t notice Yun Lintian’s approach at all.

Yun Lintian looked at him and asked. “Why didn’t you go up and beat them, Brother Zhao? They are not your opponents at all.”

Zhao Ming took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. “Perhaps we have the same reason.”

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. “I’m different from you. I can see that you care about this town. Maybe it’s because it’s the last place you can hide without being discovered.”

When Yun Lintian noticed the turmoil in Zhao Ming’s eyes, he could guess one or two things. It wasn’t that Zhao Ming didn’t want to help the town; instead, he was afraid of being discovered by someone.

“Who are you?” Zhao Ming’s eyes grew cold.

“Me? Of course. I’m a newcomer with a special hobby of observing people.” Yun Lintian replied.

Zhao Ming gazed at Yun Lintian for a long time and then sighed. “Forget it. What do you want?”

Yun Lintian smiled brightly. “Can you tell me about the Netherworld?”

“Come with me.” Zhao Ming turned around and headed home.

Yun Lintian quickly followed him.

Upon entering the cottage, Zhao Ming promptly activated an isolation formation and sealed the door.

Yun Lintian graciously sat down and brought out several dishes and wine.

Zhao Ming was stunned by the array of delicacies. It was the first time he had seen such an extravagant meal in many years.

Gui Xuan’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly grabbed a grilled chicken leg and ate it happily.

Zhao Ming didn’t look at the food; instead, he looked at Yun Lintian. “Are you from the great sects?”

“Great sects?” Yun Lintian shook his head. “I don’t even know them.”

Zhao Ming fell silent for a moment. He poured himself a glass of wine and savored it.

“This is undoubtedly the finest wine I have ever tasted in my two lifetimes.” Zhao Ming licked his lips with satisfaction.

“Supposedly, Village Head Su should have already informed you about the general situation of the Netherworld. I will add some details that I know.”

Zhao Ming paused for a moment to organize his thoughts before speaking. “The current Netherworld is ruled by five emperors, four great sects, and twelve clans. They are the supreme rulers of this world.”

“I used to be a guard for the eldest lady of the Qing Clan, one of the twelve clans. The Qing Clan is located in the Southern Region along with the Ji Clan. They are at odds.” 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

“Ten years ago, my comrades and I escorted the eldest lady to the capital city, but we were robbed halfway through. I was the only survivor.”
