Wang Chao's fingers struggled and dug the bricks out of the ground. Even Long Chen could not do this.
"Die."
Mo Xiaolang did not stand on ceremony. He looked up to the sky and spat out the Nine Underworld Demonic Ancestral Fire in his mouth. The coldest flames appeared on his wolf's lips, instantly suppressing all the other flames. A suffocating chill surrounded the area.
"Have mercy."
Lingxiao rushed forward, the longsword in his hand shooting out. A beam of sword qi shot towards Mo Xiaolang. Mo Xiaolang could have killed this ghostly thing, but the sword light was not to be underestimated. He could only put away the Nine Underworld Demonic Ancestral Fire.
Ghost Wang Chao sprang up with all his might and sent Mo Xiaolang flying from his back. He cast an extremely gloomy and resentful glance at Long Chen, and then fled in embarrassment.
"Don't go."
Lingxiao immediately chased after him. Long Chen had to worry about Mo Xiaolang's safety. If he was a step slower, they would have already disappeared.
Looking at the empty street, Mo Xiaolang said angrily, "I almost killed him. It's all Lingxiao's fault."
Long Chen shook his head helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Lingxiao is from the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace after all. He has a good relationship with Wang Chao. I guess he wants to know what's going on."
Mo Xiaolang's anger subsided. He asked doubtfully, "Isn't Wang Chao dead? How did this happen..."
Long Chen was also puzzled. He said, "I don't know. Furthermore, he has become very strong. My Extreme Finger of Time was able to force Lingxiao back, but it could only break one of his arms. Furthermore, he was able to withstand your Spirit Burning Flames."
"That's troublesome. Will Lingxiao be in danger?" Mo Xiaolang asked.
"I hope not. Let's try to chase after him. The maze changes too quickly. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to catch up."
Although Wang Chao had turned into a ghost and might have lost his consciousness, Long Chen wouldn't be at ease if he didn't kill him. Moreover, he would rather die than become like this.
After catching up to Lingxiao, they took a few turns down a few streets. The two of them helplessly realized that Lingxiao had completely disappeared, let alone Wang Chao. Encountering such a situation, Long Chen could only pray for Lingxiao, praying that he would not be able to catch up.
Otherwise, there was no telling what would happen. Lingxiao had good intentions, but who knew what the dynasty had become? The risk was extremely high.
After searching for a few hours, Long Chen was unable to find them, so he decided to collect 100 Night Pearls first. This was destined to be an arduous task, and it would take a long time to complete. Moreover, there was a chance that accidents might occur.
Among those who could come to the City of Vain Deaths, the strongest was probably Long Xing. He was the one who could get out the fastest. Next, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang would be the strongest if they worked together. Lingxiao, Huang Yu, and Yuan Xiaozhou were slightly weaker. After all, they had no one to work with.
Long Chen and Yuan Xiaozhou collected the Night Pearls. Mo Xiaolang was the main force. He had many attacks, and his flames were the bane of most ghosts. After half a month of hard fighting, the two of them finally collected more than 50 Night Pearls. There were probably only a few people who had more than them.
In order to ensure their combat effectiveness, the two of them controlled the frequency of their fights to be within a reasonable range.
More than fifty Night-Luminescent Pearls meant fifty sets of precious treasures. Long Chen had never felt so rich before.
Among these treasures, there were Divine Weapons, Immortal Essences, Innate Taoist Methods, and all kinds of Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures. Among these treasures, there were many categories of Taoist Weapons, such as sabers, spears, swords, halberds, strange weapons, and all kinds of protective equipment. Mo Xiaolang once gave Li Xuanji the Green Ink Armor, but Long Chen now had a lot of such items.
There were also some dao treasures in the form of bells, beads, nails, and so on. Long Chen was dazzled. There was even a type of Fire Stone that contained a strange fire. Mo Xiaolang directly swallowed it.
Among the Immortal Essences, there were many that were useful to them. There were more than 10 types of Immortal Essences, some of which they did not know the names of. They could only hide them for now and slowly categorize and familiarize themselves with them in the future. As for Connate Daoist Techniques, they were unimaginably complicated. Long Chen did not have the time to study them, but the ones he obtained were probably not bad.
They discovered a rule, the more powerful the ghost, the more precious the things in the house would be. Once, Long Chen even found two Night Pearls in a house, and the Dao Artifact he obtained that time also had two Dao patterns, which was not much different from the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Long Chen did not need so many by himself, so he stored them away.
As for dao treasures with three Dao patterns or immortal essences with three Dao patterns, they had not found any yet. Even if they did, the ghost inside was too strong. Long Chen and Long Chen were not willing to take the risk. That was because Long Chen knew that the ghost from the dynasty might come again.
It was no wonder that the people who came out could become experts. With so many dao treasures, immortal essences, and treasures, it would be strange if they did not create experts.
But 95% of the people would still die here.
As time passed, Long Chen discovered that a new group of people had joined the fray. Long Chen guessed that the City of the Wronged had shifted its location to another hell.
Because of the ghost riots in Eternal Hell, the 12 Supreme Alliances sent a large number of people in to investigate. More and more people found the existence of the City of Wrongful Deaths and rushed in. When they entered, they were dumbfounded.
There were more and more corpses along the way, and more and more ghostly beings roamed the area. Sometimes, it was quite depressing to kill a ghostly being, but there was no guarantee of obtaining treasures or Luminous Pearls. However, sometimes, one could find these things in the storage rings of the corpses.
Because God Countries couldn't be used, everyone kept the things in the storage rings.
He was only halfway to completing the mission. Long Chen and company were now in a different location from before. Occasionally, Long Chen could see the existence of the black castle through the changes in the clouds. Indeed, the ten Ghost Kings occupied ten turrets, but no matter how Long Chen approached, he couldn't get close to them.
Sure enough, that was where the square was located.
On this day, the two of them were collecting Night Pearls. The street ahead was really messy. They were still far away and saw a group of more than ten people gathered here.
This was the first time they had seen so many people. Everyone was probably frightened. Once they met people, they couldn't wait to team up with them.
The reason it was messy was because there was a conflict. It seemed like two groups of people were fighting. Two of them flew up and down and their combat power was really terrifying. Very quickly, they were defeated. The others were all on the ground, crying out in pain. The two of them didn't stand on ceremony and went to collect the things they got.
"What a bunch of trash. Over a dozen of us have only managed to defeat two ghosts." The yellow-robed man cursed. "What a bunch of trash.
"It's Meng Yi and Zong Yue. I didn't expect them to come in too." Long Chen said.
There was nothing to be afraid of. Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang directly walked forward. Seeing Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang, Zong Yue's expression changed. He hurriedly called for Meng Yi to escape. But at this time, Mo Xiaolang was already in front of them.
In the battle of the Northernmost Sea, they were beaten by Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang. Especially after Mo Xiaolang absorbed the Ninth Hell Demonic Ancestral Flame and became a Ninth Grade Demon God, they were even less of a match.
"Emperor's Son …" Zong Yue calmed down and stood together with Meng Yi. He looked at Mo Xiaolang with some caution.
Those who had fallen were stunned. They knew who Zong Yue and Meng Yi were. They were geniuses from the Desolate Emperor Palace. One was a Kunpeng and the other was the young master of the Violet Gold Demonic Ape Race, the Violet Gold Great Ape King. But when they met Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang, they admitted defeat without a fight.
Long Chen also walked forward and asked, "The City of Tragic Deaths passed through the Netherworld Hell."
"Yes."
Meng Yi was defeated by Long Chen. At this time, he was a little evasive. They were arrogant and despotic just now, but when Mo Xiaolang and Zong Yue came, they admitted defeat.
Mo Xiaolang didn't want to do anything to them. He directly said, "Since you're here, work hard. It's not that easy to get a hundred night pearls. Two geniuses of the demon race, don't die here."
"We know." Zong Yue said.
"Since we've met, let's walk together."
Long Chen suggested. Zong Yue and Meng Yi's expressions turned ugly. Could it be that Long Chen wanted to take away their night pearls?
Long Chen casually walked in front. They hesitated for a moment but still followed. On both sides of the houses, the ghosts were still roaring non-stop. Some even stretched their long arms out of the windows.
"How much do you know about the City of Tragic Deaths?"
Long Chen turned back and asked. He just wanted to hear more about the things that others knew. The current him knew too little about the City of Tragic Deaths.
Zong Yue and Meng Yi glanced at each other. Zong Yue said, "We've only heard of those legends. We only found out about it later on."
"That black castle. You should have seen it before, right?" Long Chen asked.
"En." Both of them nodded.
"Is there a way to go there?" Long Chen tried to ask.
Zong Yue and Meng Yi didn't say anything. Long Chen noticed that they knew a lot, so he said fiercely, "Share what you know. Otherwise, I don't mind fighting here and making all your hard work go to waste."
Maybe because he was frightened by Long Chen, Zong Yue could only say helplessly, "My Kun Peng Race once had an old ancestor come here. He has long passed away, but the race left behind books. There were words like 100 pearls and black castle. I've seen that book and deduced. Based on what it said, after the 100 pearls are filled, there are two choices. One is to leave with the treasures, the other is to head to the black castle …"
Long Chen really didn't expect that his casual question would actually give him such good news. To others, after experiencing this nightmarish City of Tragic Deaths, of course they wanted to leave. But to him, although there were scary things like the 10 Ghost Kings in the black castle, there was also information about the Void Universe Dragon …
This was the only chance he would have …
Long Chen gritted his teeth. He knew that he couldn't let it go.
"Don't tell me you want to go to the black castle? I saw the 10 Ghost Kings there …" Zong Yue said with his mouth dry.
Long Chen laughed and said, "I'm just curious. It's better to leave this damn place as soon as possible. Oh right, do you want to come with us?"
With Long Chen and Zong Yue beside them, Zong Yue and the others felt uncomfortable. Hearing Long Chen ask that, the two of them quickly said goodbye and fled.
