Chapter 1733 Mr. Ghost Face
Chapter 1733 Mr. Ghost Face
Ying Zheng ignored the two men and instead focused his attention on Yin Sha and the black-clad deities, his tone icy: "Before I left, I issued an edict appointing Mo Chenzi as the temporary city lord to restrain the deities and restore order. Not only have you failed to repent, but you have also instigated rebellion and coveted power. You truly deserve to die!"
The Yin Sha was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Lord Dao God, spare my life! I was confused for a moment and made a terrible mistake. I beg you, Lord Dao God, to give me a chance to repent and start anew."
"A chance to turn over a new leaf?"
Ying Zheng sneered, "I already gave you a chance during the riot just now. Since you didn't cherish it, then disappear completely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng lightly tapped his fingertip.
A golden light shot out from his fingertip and landed precisely on Yin Sha's brow.
Before Yin Sha could even let out a scream, a cloud of blood mist exploded between his eyebrows, annihilating his soul and leaving not a trace.
Immediately afterwards, golden light spots fell like raindrops, hitting the black-clad gods who had instigated the rebellion.
Every deity struck by the light suffered annihilation, with none escaping unscathed.
After dealing with Yin Sha and the others, Ying Zheng's gaze swept over all the gods in the square. "Mo Chenzi is the city lord of Xuancheng, holding the power of life and death! From now on, anyone who dares to covet power or incite rebellion will suffer the same fate as Yin Sha!"
"We obey! We would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts again!" all the gods replied in unison.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Mo Chenzi: "Mo Chenzi, I have eliminated the hidden dangers for you. From now on, the order of Xuan City will depend entirely on you!"
Mo Chenzi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "This junior obeys! I will certainly live up to the Dao God's trust and guard Xuan City well!"
"Cross Immortal Venerable," Ying Zheng's gaze turned to the Cross Immortal Venerable, his tone still icy, "your choice today is quite wise. But let me make this clear: if you dare to use the guise of assisting him to secretly cultivate your own power and covet authority, I will not forgive you!"
The Immortal Venerable Cross trembled and hurriedly kowtowed: "This junior dares not! This junior will definitely serve Lord Mo Chenzi loyally and will never dare to have the slightest disloyalty!"
Ying Zheng said no more, his figure transforming into a golden streak of light as he sped towards the horizon. This time, he did not linger, and his oppressive aura completely dissipated.
In Xuancheng Square, all the gods slowly stood up, looking in the direction where Ying Zheng had disappeared, their eyes filled with awe.
After these two deterrents, all their ambitions were completely suppressed, and they dared not make any further moves.
Mo Chenzi took a deep breath. "Everyone, listen up! Return to your posts immediately and speed up the reconstruction! Within three days, Xuan City must be restored to its original state! Anyone who delays or slacks off will be punished according to the laws of Xuan City!"
"As ordered!"
The gods responded in unison, then turned and departed to join the reconstruction efforts. The bloodstains and debris on the plaza were quickly cleaned up, as if the rebellion had never occurred.
The Immortal Venerable of the Cross walked to Mo Chenzi's side and said respectfully, "Lord Mo Chenzi, I am willing to fully cooperate with you in the reconstruction work."
Mo Chenzi glanced at him and said calmly, "Alright, the defensive fortifications in the west of the city need to be reinforced. I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure to investigate carefully and leave no hidden dangers."
"My subordinate understands!"
The Immortal Venerable of the Cross bowed in response and turned to leave.
……
Beyond the universe, in the nearest star system!
The heavens of this star field are covered in black, and this is the Dark Star Field.
The Dark Starfield, though one of the fragments of the universe, is also one of the strongest starfields among them!
The sky above the Dark Starfield is eternally silent, the light of billions of stars is swallowed by the thick dark energy, only the obsidian walls of the Netherworld City reflect an eerie dark red.
Inside the highest palace in the Netherworld City, a figure draped in a black and gold cloak sat upon a throne of bones.
The cloak concealed most of his face, revealing only a winding scar on his chin. He was the ruler of the Dark Starfield, the Lord of the Netherworld City!
Nightfall!
On either side of the hall stood twelve somber deities, all clad in black armor inlaid with skull-shaped dark crystals, their bodies surrounded by the faint wails of the dead.
These people are the top combat force in the Dark Starfield, the Twelve Netherworld Fiends.
"Ying Zheng has left Xuancheng and is heading to the Gate of Guixu."
The first one on the left, the fiend Hei Yuan, spoke, his voice like two rocks rubbing together, "That piece of trash Yin Sha originally wanted to use the rebellion to restrain Mo Chenzi, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to turn back halfway and ruin everything."
Ye Huang's fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the bone throne, producing a crisp "click" sound that was particularly jarring in the deathly silent hall.
"Yin Sha was originally a pawn to be discarded; his life or death is irrelevant." His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a chilling pressure.
"I just don't know why Ying Zheng would come to my Dark Starfield!"
Ye Huang's voice was low, his brows revealing disbelief.
"My lord, what should we do if... he comes?"
"Hmph, whatever! Let's see if he's a friend or an enemy. If he's a friend, we'll take good care of him when he comes. If he's an enemy... then we'll do everything we can to kill him."
"Yes, your lord!"
……
A golden streak of light pierced through the void of the universe as Ying Zheng sped toward the Gate of Return to Nothingness deep within the Dark Starfield.
Those low-level shadow creatures lurking in the crevices of stardust trembled at the overwhelming pressure, daring not to peek in the slightest!
Ying Zheng's lips curled into a cold smile. He had heard Hei Sha talk about Ye Huang in the Dark Star Domain before, and now he was going to go and take a good look at it!
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, his figure suddenly accelerated, and golden light tore through the darkness, causing the stars along the way to tremble.
However, just as he was about to step into the core area of the Dark Starfield, a piercing shriek suddenly came from the void, and countless black threads spread out from the void, wrapping around him like a spider web.
These threads are covered with dark purple poisonous patterns and emit a foul stench that corrodes the soul; they are the unique Devouring God Silk of the Dark Starfield.
Even a grain of rice dares to rival the brilliance of the sun and moon.
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed, and his spiritual energy suddenly erupted, transforming into nine golden dragons that roared as they charged toward the Devouring God Silk!
The Devouring God Silk was instantly burned away, leaving not even a trace of ash.
Just then, three figures clad in black armor and wearing skull masks stepped out from the void. They were none other than Black Wind, Black Soul, and Black Netherworld, three of the Twelve Netherworld Fiends.
"Ying Zheng, Your Majesty Ye Huang has ordered you to stop!"
Black Wind stepped forward, his voice hoarse like a ghost's wail, holding a bone knife covered in barbs, its blade shrouded in a dense aura of death. "The Gate of Return to Nothingness is a forbidden area of the Dark Starfield. No one outside our starfield is allowed to approach!"
Ying Zheng's gaze swept over the three men, his tone icy and piercing: "Ye Huang, what arrogance! You are nothing but mere demon gods, yet you dare to block my path?"
"presumptuous!"
Black Soul roared, his dark divine power surging, transforming him into a dark giant tens of feet tall. "The Lord's command is the law of heaven! Ying Zheng, if you do not retreat today, do not blame us for being impolite!"
"You're welcome?"
Ying Zheng sneered, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next second, Black Soul felt a chill on his neck. The dark giant, which was tens of meters tall, was as fragile as paper. Its head crashed to the ground, and dark purple blood spurted out, completely annihilating it!
Upon seeing this, Black Wind and Black Nether's pupils shrank sharply, their hearts filled with utter horror.
All three of them were top-tier combatants in the Dark Starfield, especially Hei Hun, who had already reached the level of a half-step Dao God, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move from Ying Zheng.
This level of strength has already exceeded the limits of their understanding.
"escape!"
Black Wind reacted extremely quickly, pulling Black Nether around as they were about to disappear into the void.
But Ying Zheng would not give them a chance. He gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips again, and two golden beams of light shot out, accurately hitting the two men between the eyebrows.
Without any suspense, Black Wind and Black Nether's souls were instantly crushed, their bodies turning to ashes and dissipating into the void.
After dealing with the three, Ying Zheng did not stop, knowing that this was merely a test by Ye Huang.
Sure enough, just as he continued traveling for less than ten thousand miles, the star field ahead suddenly turned pitch black, and billions of dark stars lit up at the same time, emitting an eerie light, forming a huge star array.
Within the great formation, nine figures floated and stood, the remaining nine of the Twelve Netherworld Fiends, while a blood-red figure stood before the formation, none other than Mr. Ghost Face, the chief strategist under Ye Huang!
Mr. Ghostface wore a blood-red robe, a hideous ghost mask on his face, and held a feather fan in his hand, the fan surface covered with strange runes.
He gently waved his feather fan and laughed, "Dao Shen is indeed worthy of his reputation. The three of them, Hei Feng and his companions, were no match for you. I'm sorry you had to laugh at us."
"Did Ye Huang send you here just to spout this nonsense?"
Ying Zheng spoke indifferently, his aura growing increasingly intense, ready to break through the formation at any moment.
"My lord is joking."
Mr. Ghostface closed his feather fan, and his tone became solemn. "The Lord knows that you, sir, possess extraordinary strength and dares not easily become your enemy. He has come here today to make a deal with you, sir."
"trade?"
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow. "What kind of deal do I have with your Dark Starfield?"
"The Gate of Return to the Void contains a treasure of the universe. The Lord is willing to share the treasure equally with you, only asking that you not interfere in the affairs of the Dark Star Domain in the future, and that my Star Domain's gods be allowed to freely enter and leave the Xuan City."
The masked man slowly said, "If you agree, we will immediately dismantle the great formation and escort you to the Gate of Return to Nothingness. If you do not agree, this Starry Sky Annihilation Formation will be your burial ground!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng burst into laughter: "Ye Huang wants to share the treasures with me? He's not worthy! As for the gods of the Dark Star Domain entering and leaving Xuan City, that's just wishful thinking."
"It seems you are determined to be an enemy of my Dark Star Domain, sir?" The masked man's face darkened, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. "In that case, don't blame us for being impolite! Nine Fiends, listen to my command, activate the Starry Sky Annihilation Array!"
With a command from the Ghost-Faced Man, the nine evil gods simultaneously unleashed their full divine power, and the light of billions of dark stars converged to form a huge black pillar of light, which blasted towards Ying Zheng.
