1871 Flower Ghost Queen (3)
"You have never seen him? How do you know that he is the strongest?" Yun Lintian asked coldly.
"There is a reason why no one dares to attack the Central Region." The Flower Ghost Queen responded promptly. "All the other four emperors always advise their followers to avoid conflicts with the Death God's people."
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. "Are they true gods?"
"Yes." The Flower Ghost Queen replied truthfully. "They are the survivors of the Primordial War. The Yama King, Meng Po[1], and all the other officers perished in the war. The eighteen hells, the path to reincarnation, the Bride of Oblivion, and the River of Forgetfulness have all collapsed. Since then, the Netherworld has been completely disconnected from the outside world."
"The five remaining true gods fought each other and ended up dividing the land into the current five regions. As you can see, the Death God has secured the most crucial location, the Central Region. It shows that he is the strongest."
Yun Lintian fell into deep thought. Since the so-called Death God was one of the survivors of the Primordial War, there was a fifty-fifty chance that he was an inheritor of the God of Death. He might be a fortunate one who accidentally stumbled upon one of the God of Death's legacy.
However, he could also be nothing less than a powerful true god. Yun Lintian knew that in order to prevent the Netherworld from reconnecting to the outside world, he had to face him.
The problem was how? With his current strength, it was impossible to oppose a true god.
Tower of Fate... Yun Lintian suddenly thought of the Tower of Fate. Whoever brought the Tower of Fate to the Netherworld obviously had a specific purpose in mind. Yun Lintian believed that it was a crucial factor in the current situation.
He looked at the Flower Ghost Queen and asked. "What are you all fighting for?"
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Honestly, I don't know either." The Flower Ghost Queen frowned slightly as she replied. "At first, I thought we were fighting for hegemony, but I found it strange as time passed."
"Whenever we gained momentum and were almost winning, our lord would stop us from advancing further. It happened all the time. However, we cannot stop it completely either. That's why the war has never ceased."
She paused for a moment and continued. "In recent years, the connection between the Netherworld and the outside world has reemerged. Many people have tried to leave this place, but they all ended up disappearing for no apparent reason."
"I have tried asking my lord many times, but she has never answered my questions."
"The Southern Emperor is a woman?" Yun Lintian was surprised.
"Yes." The Flower Ghost Queen replied. "For some reason, she pretended to be a man."
Yun Lintian was puzzled. Why would she do that?
"Have you ever seen a strange tower?" Yun Lintian asked.
"A tower? No," The Flower Ghost Queen answered, with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.
Yun Lintian felt disappointed. Not even the Flower Ghost Queen knew about it. Where should he look for it?
Perhaps the Southern Emperor knew something about it, but Yun Lintian wasn't ready to confront a true god.
"Last question. Have you ever seen these five emperors taking action themselves over the years?" Yun Lintian gazed into the eyes of the Flower Ghost Queen.
"No," The Flower Ghost Queen responded with a frown. "I am also curious about it, but I don't dare to ask."
The conjecture in Yun Lintian's heart grew stronger. Lin Yitong was definitely right. These five true gods were unable to use their power for a specific reason.
Yun Lintian tightened his grip, causing the Flower Ghost Queen to grimace in pain. He stared at her coldly as he spoke. "Before coming here, I often heard praise about you, but now I see your true nature clearly. You are no different from the others."
The Flower Ghost Queen's heart tightened. She could sense an overwhelming murderous aura emanating from Yun Lintian.
"However, I won't deny that your past actions have allowed people like Brother Su and Sister Xu to live better lives. So, for their sake, I will spare you this time." Yun Lintian said further.
He waved his hand, and a few jade bottles appeared on the bed. "These pills can treat your injury. You better remember my kindness today and protect the Wandering Ghost Town well. If something happens to them, I will come to you."
As he finished his sentence, Yun Lintian lifted the Flower Ghost Queen and smashed her onto the nearby table.
Bang!
"Ugh!" The Flower Ghost Queen let out a painful groan. She felt as though her body was being torn apart.
Yun Lintian released her and then picked up Gui Xuan before leaving.
When Yun Lintian arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Hun Yin struggling hard, trying to get rid of the restraint. Her blood-red eyes fixated on Yun Lintian as if she couldn't wait to devour him.
Yun Lintian glanced at her for a moment before transforming into a shadow and disappearing from the place.
The green light surrounding the mountain gradually faded, and the colorful flowers returned to their original state.
Hun Yin regained her freedom and was about to chase after Yun Lintian. However, she was stopped by the Flower Ghost Queen.
"Don't follow him." The Flower Ghost Queen's voice resounded.
Hun Yin immediately stopped and stood there, motionless.
Inside the room, the Flower Ghost Queen stood up from the ground and rubbed her neck to ease the pain. Her eyes were filled with anger and shame because she had never been treated like this before.
However, she knew that she was the one who had harmed him first.
"Damn it." The Flower Ghost Queen cursed angrily. She hated the feeling of anger but had no way to vent.
A moment later, the Flower Ghost Queen calmed down and turned to look at the jade bottles on the bed.
She hesitated briefly and then picked them up, examining the contents inside. As soon as she opened the bottle, a powerful medicinal scent hit her face.
Her eyes widened in shock. "This..."
The bottle contained numerous high-quality pills that could effectively treat her injury.
The Flower Ghost Queen fell silent for a while before speaking. "Send people to protect the Wandering Ghost Town."
