Chapter 1516
1516 The Fall of Zhong Yun, Gathering Troops, Conquering the Zhong Clan
“Just go to hell since you can’t extricate yourself from the whirlpool of desire.”
Cu Kuangren mobilized the Six Dusty Demonic Hooks to entangle Zhong Yun tightly.
Following that, Desire Flower also activated her power. Even an Arch Gilded Immortal could hardly resist the eruption of the two energies.
Besides, Zhong Yun absorbed a large number of dead souls into his body at this time. Those dead souls were still alive in his body with countless living beings’ desires merged.
!!
From the Desire Flower’s point of view, it was a sumptuous dinner!
In an instant, Zhong Yun was trapped in the whirlpool of desire and could not extricate himself.
He saw himself becoming the Fengdu Ghost Emperor and a supreme ruler who united the Underworld.
However, countless dead souls dashed forward and devoured him soon after!
Meanwhile, in the outside world, everyone saw that Zhong Yun’s body was entwined by strange vines. Then, he stood in place with his expression changed constantly.
His expression changed from confusion, overjoyed, and obsessed to deranged…
His constant change of expressions meant that he was trapped deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of desire, which weakened his aura.
Eventually, his physical body and soul were transformed into Desire Flower’s fertilizer, while those vines sucked up Zhong Yun’s body like countless straws!
The General Skull and others were astonished upon seeing such an eerie scene.
What kind of existence was that?
After dealing with Zhong Yun, Chu Kuangren approached the General Skull and others.
“Go to the Imperial Palace now, and tell me the matter in detail,” said Chu Kuangren.
In the Imperial Palace, General Skull and others explained the Zhong clan’s matter to Chu Kuangren in detail.
In addition, they also told him about some forces’ situation in the Underworld.
The three great Underworld cities, great ancient clans, tribes…
Chu Kuangren’s right hand subconsciously knocked on the throne’s armrest while sitting on the throne of the Imperial Palace. He seemed to be thinking about something.
“It looks like I’ll have to strengthen Fengdu City’s power.”
Fengdu’s current power was the weakest among the three great Underworld cities.
Although there seemed to be a mysterious existence above the three great Underworld cities to balance and prevent collisions among the cities, those ancient clans and tribes refused to be at peace with each other.
They could not deal with the other two great Underworld cities, so they targeted the extremely weak Fengdu City.
They wanted to capture Fengdu, occupy its reincarnation mechanism, and be the new Underworld!
That was not only the Zhong clan’s motive but also the motive of some Underworld aspirants.
It was just that the Zhong clan took the lead.
“General Skull, pass on my order and gather the troops! I want to conquer the Zhong clan myself,” said Chu Kuangren.
Since he had just arrived in the Underworld, for sure many people were dissatisfied with him and coveted his status as the Fengdu Ghost Emperor.
Therefore, he wanted to conquer the Zhong clan and use it as an example to others!
“Alright, Ghost Emperor!”
The General Skull’s eyes lit up and said with an excited tone.
The Zhong clan had been provoking them time after time again, and he had been wanting to kill them for a long time now.
However, he dared not act rashly without Chu Kuangren in the Fengdu. Now, he was looking forward to attacking the Zhong clan since Chu Kuangren had given an order.
“Ghost Emperor, we shall make a move first.”
“Bai Mei, stay back.”
After everyone left, Bai Mei stood where she was anxiously and wondered why Chu Kuangren wanted her to stay back.
Could it be that she had made a mistake?
“There is an improvement in your cultivation in recent years, and you’ve reached the Fifth Grade Gilded Immortal Realm.”
“Thank you for training me, Ghost Emperor.”
“I merely gave you some cultivation techniques. You’ve managed to get to this point due to your diligence and hard work.”
Chu Kuangren said politely, then took out a picture scroll.
It was a picture scroll that recorded the Qin Emperor’s terracotta warriors. Chu Kuangren had labeled it, and it was now a map.
“The main reason that I made you stay is that I need you to accomplish a mission. You have to secretly get some people to find this place for me. After you’ve found it, keep it to yourself, then come back and report to me.”
Bai Mei took the picture scroll and glanced at it. “Noted.”
After Bai Mei left, Chu Kuangren took out the Ghoul-killing Sword and Samsara Emperor Seals that he obtained after killing Zhong Yun.
“These are pretty good treasures, and they will help me in conquering the Zhong clan.”
Needless to say for the Samsara Emperor Seals, the Ghoul-killing Sword was a top-notched Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon. It was also an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon that targeted ghoul cultivators, and its deterrent effect on ghoul cultivators was no less than some Embodier weapons.
After a few days, the news that Zhong Yun went to attack Fengdu, but died at the hands of Fengdu’s new Ghost Emperor spread widely.
All Underworld great family sects and tribes were extremely surprised.
“Isn’t the Fengdu Ghost Emperor busy preparing for the Battle of the Heavenly Champions in the Yang World? Why is he here in the Yin World all of a sudden?”
“Could it be that his dead soul is here?!”
“The Battle of the Heavenly Champions is brutal, and his soul isn’t crushed to the core?!”
“Tsk tsk, Zhong Yun was the Zhong clan Leader. His strength should not be underestimated, and he was also a top-notched elite in the Underworld. How could he die in the hands of the Fengdu Ghost Emperor?”
“Indeed. The Fengdu Ghost Emperor seems to be quite young. Can he kill an Arch Gilded Immortal?”
“Could it be fake news?”
Many Underworld cultivators were in disbelief.
Although the Yin World and Yang World were two different spaces, after a Yang World person died, his soul would bring some news about the Yang World when he came to the Underworld.
For instance, news about the hottest Yang World’s Battle of the Heavenly Champions.
Many people knew that Fengdu’s new Ghost Emperor was the bellwether of the young generation who participated in the Battle of the Heavenly Champions, but no one believed that he could kill an Arch Gilded Immortal!
However, some Underworlds were silent after knowing the news.
It was normal for others to have no idea about Chu Kuangren, but how could those Underworld great ones, who had been paying close attention to the situation in the Yang World, have no idea about Chu Kuangren?
Others might not be able to kill an Arch Gilded Immortal, but not the Fengdu’s new Ghost Emperor, Chu Kuangren, who was an illogical variable!
The Immortal Halls’ great ones plotted to harm him by using the Bagua Furnace. Not only did they fail to kill him, but they were greatly troubled by him.
Many people were aware of this matter.
After thinking about it carefully, although it was shocking that Chu Kuangren killed an Arch Gilded Immortal in the Underworld, it was something possible to happen.
“He isn’t satisfied with the mess he has created in the Yang World, so he’s here to mess up the Underworld?”
“Well, he is the Fengdu Ghost Emperor.”
“D*mn it. Many sky-prides and prodigies in my Underworld have died at his hands. Now that he has come to the Underworld, do we just sit back and do nothing?!”
In the Yincao Underworld City, all the great ones were secretly worrying about Chu Kuangren’s arrival at the Underworld.
“Everyone, did you guys notice that even though Zhong Yun was an Arch Gilded Immortal, he was not affected by karmic judgment when he attacked Chu Kuangren?”
A Yincao City’s great one said suddenly.
Everyone’s pupils shrank slightly upon hearing his words.
In other words, Chu Kuangren possessed the combat strength to fight against an Arch Gilded Immortal currently.
“What a monster!”
“It is an opportunity for us.”
The Yincao City’s great one sneered. “Since an Arch Gilded Immortal could attack him, there are many things we can do now.”
“But how do we explain to the Underworld authority? The high priest has clearly stated that the three great Underworld cities can’t attack each other.”
“We can’t attack him, but it doesn’t mean that other family sects and tribes can’t attack him too.”
