How could this be?
In a flash, his eyes reddened. The final two … Of the Ten Great Vengeful Spirits that he had nurtured for a hundred years, only two remained!
In today's society, how could there be so many souls with such deep obsessions?
He had picked these people out of thousands of people.
He didn't dare to leave the city, because he knew very well that other places … were even more dangerous.
Now, everything was back to square one.
Why?
I've already stopped. I've obviously let you off. Shouldn't you immediately stop and thank the heavens?
Thank the High Official for sparing your life, and then immediately run away?
Why … are you like a rabid dog?
The world is so beautiful, yet you are so irritable?
Have you ever considered my feelings?
Boom!
There was a slight tremor in his mind, and the resentful soul of the hunting zone abruptly dissipated.
The fourth hunting zone was breached.
At 1: 30 a.m.
Dead silence.
Yulan Clubhouse was deathly silent.
Several seconds later, Cao Youdao's hateful voice echoed throughout the room, "You immoral little bastard!!"
"As an Emissary of Hell … how dare you infiltrate the forces of the mortal realm and drag out an ignoble existence … Where's your dignity as an Emissary of Hell?!!"
"Emissaries of Hell will never walk the same path as the living! Didn't your instructor teach you this before?!!"
"Shame on Emissaries of Hell!!
The shame of Hell!!
Utterly shameless!! "
Qin Ye could no longer hear Cao Youdao's resentment.
As he rushed through one street after another, all of the mortal realm's armies made way for him as soon as they saw him.
The speed at which he pushed forward increased by an unknown amount.
At the same time, Qin Ye was astonished to discover that the arrival of the inspector from the Range Mountains Province had revealed that the mortal realm had actually managed to secure their own territory, and were even slowly advancing outwards!
Cao Youdao's objective of probing the strength of the Yang-Realm had been achieved, but the price was so heavy that he simply couldn't bear it!
The Lakeside Park in the City of Salvation was one of the most desolate parks in the city.
No one came even during the day.
Rumor had it that every night at six o 'clock, there would be a fat man here, holding a damp cigarette, looking for someone to light a fire.
This incident was very famous. Ten years ago, the mother-in-law of the CEO of the target company was seriously ill. The CEO sold the company to save her, and his wife and family were deeply grateful.
Two years later, the CEO had his legs amputated and could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
But in exchange, his wife cheated on him, and his parents-in-law divided the family property.
Three months later, he tied a stone to his wheelchair and pushed himself to the bottom of the river.
He loved smoking and especially liked Yuxi. Rumor had it that he bumped into someone that day and wanted the other person to push him up.
The man turned around and ran. His last words were: Do you have a fire?
"Is there a fire?" Qin Ye stood behind a plump man. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that there was nothing beneath the man's feet.
The other party was very fat and his body was wet.
However, Qin Ye knew full well that this wasn't a sign of obesity.
It was swollen.
All corpses that were swollen by the water were like this.
He could even see muddy river water flowing out of the other party's ears. In front of the other party was the riverside.
"Yes." Qin Ye slowly unsheathed his demonhead saber. The green flames on the blade burned brightly.
"You … shouldn't … have … promised … me …" The man's head turned 180 degrees. His eyes had already become two empty holes. The flesh on his face had been gnawed away by the fish in the river, revealing the white bones underneath.
With a shrill shriek, his tongue darted straight for Qin Ye's heart like a snake.
Boom!!
With a slash of his saber, the arrogant green flames split the tongue and the ugly head behind it in half.
Whoosh!!
A gust of nethergale swept across the area, and the man's body transformed into wisps of Yin energy amidst his miserable screams. This time, the wisps of Yin energy didn't sink into Qin Ye's chest. Instead, they began to swirl wildly around him. Seconds later, they transformed into a three-meter large vortex of Yin energy.
His proof of identity flew out and flickered with a golden light. The words written on it were no longer black in colour. Instead, they were vermillion in colour.
"Purged one vengeful apparition: 20 merit points."
"Current merit points: 200 merit points.
Zero merit points away from becoming a Soul Hunter. "
Whoosh … His proof of identity quickly flipped to the first page and continued to write.
Name: Qin Ye (Nickname - Dogballs)
Place of Origin: Liu Er Mound Village, Gazi Gully, Tang An County, Qingguang City
Family Members: Grandfather (deceased), Parents (deceased)
Date of Birth: 1 October 1938
Duration of Service: 84 days and 3 hours
Occupation: Soul Hunter
"Haa …" Qin Ye heaved a long sigh of relief. The long night had finally come to an end.
Boom!!
Just then, his Hell's Emissary robes fluttered wildly, and the accumulated Yin energy in his body began to boil and gurgle.
Vaporization …
He suddenly discovered that the blood in his body was actually vaporizing!
It was still blood, but it was no longer liquid, and had instead formed a gaseous existence in his blood vessels.
It was rapidly transforming his body.
Just then, the whites of his eyes suddenly turned black, and his pupils turned as white as the moon.
His black hair suddenly turned snow-white.
A surge of power that transcended his own was about to erupt from his body.
He endured, and endured, and endured, until … he couldn't take it anymore!
"AHHHH!!!"
He threw his head back and let out a long howl. Thousands of petals of Yin energy blossomed at the side of Riverside Park, almost as though a black spider lily had bloomed in the mortal realm!
A power that far surpassed that of an Emissary of Hell swept across the entire northern part of the city!
Buzz … All of the Yin spirits in the northern part of the city froze, and they immediately turned to look at Riverside Park in horror.
He was the last Emissary of Hell in history.
The suppression of their bloodlines and the transcendence of their status. Even though they were all new ghosts, they couldn't help but feel as though … they could see an indomitable door of pure black Yin energy slowly opening right in front of their eyes.
The gate of Fengdu Necropolis had opened, and the Soul Hunter had taken his place!
Sss … sss sss!!!
Cao Youdao's last hunting zone was also located in the northern part of the city. Just then, the vengeful apparition that looked like a middle-aged man cried out in horror.
And then … he threw himself to the ground and kowtowed desperately in the direction of Riverside Park.
Unfortunately, not even the shard of King Yanluo's Seal was able to suppress the eruption of Yin energy from his body. The Yin spirits weren't the only ones who could see this scene.
Northern food street.
It was still a battlefield. A formation of a hundred soldiers was already showing signs of exhaustion, but their arms were still straight and straight.
Their crossbows were pointed straight ahead.
Hundreds and thousands of Yin spirits were carrying scarlet lanterns, all of them trying to charge through the forbidden zone that was woven from copper coins.
Innumerable Yin spirits had fallen, yet they continued to charge forward tirelessly.
"Commander!" One of the soldiers shouted anxiously, "The second platoon can't hold on any longer!
They've already overdrawn!
Request replacement! "
"There's no replacement!!"
An officer with three crossbows grabbed the crossbow and rushed to the front, shouting at the top of his voice, "Comrades, while you're protecting the City of Salvation, your families and hometowns are also suffering from supernatural catastrophes!
Just like you, there are also people protecting them! "
"Maybe no one knows, but this is our duty!"
"Retreat is strictly prohibited until reinforcements arrive!
Fire!! "
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.
And he wasn't the only one. Everyone else stared at the sea of Yin spirits in astonishment.
They … had actually stopped their attacks!
The illusory bodies of the lanterns turned around in unison and stared in a certain direction.
And then … the flames in the scarlet lanterns were extinguished.
Cao Youdao didn't have the proof of a true Hell's Emissary!
They felt a sense of submission from the depths of their souls!
They had given up on Cao Youdao.
The one who had appeared now was their true master.
Whoosh … One of the Yin spirits knelt down.
Then, the second, the third … the hundredth!
Three hundred!
Five hundred!
Within ten seconds, the Yin spirits that had been charging madly at the formation of Yin spirits were now bowing their heads in worship.
"Commander …" The signal officer's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he pointed in the direction of Riverside Park with trembling hands, "Look … look …"
He didn't need to elaborate.
Every single one of them could see it.
A twenty-meter tall red spider lily formed entirely out of Yin energy was currently unfurling its illusory branches and leaves in the middle of Riverside Park.
"Holy shit …" Three seconds later, the commander finally snapped back to his senses and grabbed his communicator, "This is the security company!
Connect me to the esteemed inspector immediately!
Something big has happened in the north of the city! "
Unfortunately, his report was already too late.
West of the city. The old inspector raised his finger, and the dozens of corpses that were following behind him bounced up and down on the ground.
He was alone, and there were hundreds of Yin spirits in the amusement park right in front of him.
"Hmm?" Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly paused.
Then, he turned to the north with great disbelief, "This is …"
He blinked several times in disbelief, and then drew a deep breath, "What powerful Yin energy … is this … a breakthrough to the Soul Hunter realm?!"
"A ghost is breaking through to the Soul Hunter realm right now?
Could it be that the head honcho of the City of Salvation has personally made a move? "
"That … seems to be the direction of the seventh hunting zone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed back into the car and bellowed at the driver, "Immediately!
Hurry to the north of the city!
Notify all cultivators to head to the north of the city immediately! "
However, none of them were the most shocked of all.
The most shocked of all was none other than Cao Youdao of the Orchid Clubhouse.
He stood in the middle of the room like a block of wood, staring blankly at the ceiling.
His eyes were filled with bewilderment.
He had already noticed it as soon as Qin Ye's Yin energy erupted.
But his first thought was - What is this?
This is impossible!
This can't be real!
The world is lying to me!
Boom … The entire clubhouse trembled slightly. Cao Youdao's body trembled, and he finally regained his senses.
"This … this is impossible …" His hands trembled as though he were suffering from a stroke. He instinctively reached for the wine glass next to him, only to discover that he had grabbed nothing but air.
The entire Orchid Clubhouse had long since been reduced to a state of disarray due to his rage. Not to mention the wine glass, even the golden liquid was scattered all over the floor.
He grabbed at the air a few times, but there was nothing there at all.
It was almost as though he had lost his soul. Then, he rushed downwards like a madman and roared at the deep pit that was filled with Yin energy, "How is this possible?!
Hell's Records are in my hands!!
What right does he have to become a Soul Hunter?!! "
"I don't believe it … this is fake!
It's fake!! "
If the destruction of the hunting zone had been an unbearable pain for him, then the fact that Qin Ye had become a Soul Hunter was undoubtedly a fatal blow to him!
There was only one condition for him to release all of his Yin spirits.
And that was … even if Qin Ye were to accumulate 200 merit points, he would never be able to become a Soul Hunter!
But reality had given him a resounding slap across the face.
"This can't be real …" He gritted his teeth. With a loud bang, his Hell's Emissary robes appeared and fluttered wildly. He crouched down beside the deep pit and plunged his right hand into it.
A few seconds later, an ordinary-looking ancient book appeared in his hand.
He opened it like a madman.
His eyes were filled with dizziness.
"Soul Hunter: Qin Ye.
Time of Appointment: About to take office. "
There was no name on it.
He was an Emissary of Hell, but … he didn't have the proof of identity that Granny Meng had given Qin Ye!
"There's no me … but there's you!!!" He rubbed the book viciously. But no matter how hard he rubbed, the book remained completely undamaged.
Shk … He gently pulled out the sword from his back.
Clink! It fell to the ground.
He understood.
He knew full well.
The first thing Qin Ye would do upon becoming a Soul Hunter was to take his life!
They were all the same. As long as the other party remained alive, they would never be able to rest easy.
This was a battle between Emissaries of Hell.
And he would be waiting for Qin Ye in his own lair!
