Chapter 1373: The Terrifying Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King

"Tsk tsk, it's really lively out there," Qinglong Daoren thought, his mind also on the outside, naturally knowing what was happening outside.

He couldn't afford not to pay attention; Bai Meng Holy Maiden arrived, came to exchange some pills, and delivered some spirit medicines.

Another batch of spirit medicines arrived; Bai Meng Holy Maiden naturally wanted to chat, reminisce, and then speak of the outside situation. Luotian White Snake Clan was also watching; after all, they knew the Huang Family and were fairly familiar with them, with no hatred between them, and their interactions were still rather pleasant.

After all, their territories were connected, unlike other families that were constantly fighting; the Huang Family and Luotian White Snake Clan never crossed a hair's breadth, and in all these years nothing had happened.

This time, the war between the Huang Family and the Bai Family was a calculation and contest among various behind‑the‑scenes forces, and naturally the Mangshan Demon Palace also had a hand, stirring them up. Bai Meng Holy Maiden whispered, "This Huang–Bai war is the largest in several hundred years; the last time such a battle was sparked was by our Mangshan Demon Palace."

"The human side should also descend into chaos; that would be best. The Corpse Refining Sect, the Ji Chen Sect, and the Dragon Herding Family all want to test Tian Du Men, especially the Corpse Refining Sect and the Dragon Herding Family, who are eager for chaos, eager for Tian Du Men to intervene personally, and then bring forth the Tian Du Dragon King."

"The existence of the Tian Du Dragon King determines whether Tian Du Men exists; that being has suppressed this region for too long, and many have their own thoughts, naturally hoping the Tian Du Dragon King will fall."

"Cangzhou's human forces are numerous and should reshuffle; those people are eager for it. Many families and factions want to seize the chance to rise, to pull off a big move; if successful, they can quickly ascend and replace Tian Du Men."

Bai Meng Holy Maiden spoke at length, recounting only what she knew.

Qinglong Daoren asked a couple of simple questions and unearthed a lot of information.

"Then your Luotian White Snake Clan doesn't intervene?" Qinglong Daoren asked curiously.

Bai Meng Holy Maiden shook her head: "Our clan leader said we are not permitted to intervene, nor can we go out. Mangshan has its own rules; we cannot meddle in human conflicts, let alone leave."

"However, I heard the Mangshan Demon Palace is also fanning the flames, wanting this war to expand, preferably dragging all human factions into it."

That way, human strength can be weakened.

Humans are advancing too quickly, seriously threatening Mangshan Demon Palace's safety; a batch must be weakened to achieve balance.

"The news of the Tian Du Dragon King's injury also came from the Mangshan Demon Palace?" Qinglong Daoren thought of a key point.

Bai Meng Holy Maiden smiled, gave no direct answer, but her expression said it all.

"Qinglong Daoren, let me put it this way: I sent someone to leak that information." Bai Meng Holy Maiden lowered her voice: "Don't spread this matter."

After saying that, Bai Meng Holy Maiden waved her hand, turned and left, as a gift to Qinglong Daoren.

Qinglong Daoren watched her depart, smiling: "This Holy Maiden wants me to intervene as well, stirring up those human forces, right?"

"She knows my connection with the Huang Family; if the Huang Family is wiped out, my plans will fail."

"And they are glad to see me make a move."

First, he is not a person of Mangshan Demon Palace, so his actions are naturally not theirs.

Secondly, his strength is not weak; Mangshan Demon Palace also wants to see his capability.

Another point: Luotian White Snake Clan has other schemes; as long as human strength can be weakened, they are happy to do so.

Mangshan Demon Palace is also watching; they haven't acted, but hope he will.

Bai Meng Holy Maiden arriving here at this time is obviously intentional.

Heishanyang sauntered over and said, "This woman is no ordinary; she's clearly trying to get you involved in the human war."

"Just don't know whether this is Luotian White Snake Clan's intent or Mangshan Demon Palace's, kid, you should be careful."

"Those people above are probably targeting you."

"I know that naturally." Qinglong Daoren waved his hand: "The Huang Family cannot have trouble; Qinglian and Haoyang are both in the Huang Family, they shouldn't take risks."

"This war also serves other forces to test Tian Du Men, and simultaneously to probe the supporters behind the Huang Family."

"Bai Meng Holy Maiden's arrival this time is clearly mission‑driven; these forces are not simple, all wanting to act as hidden pushers."

Qinglong Daoren sighed; these people are hard to deal with.

Before one's strength is sufficient, it's best to stay low‑key, otherwise being sold out you won't even know.

"Kid, do you want to go out?"

Heishanyang stared at Qinglong Daoren, grinned with clenched teeth: "Remember to bring me along."

"I've been craving food; it's been a long time since I ate something good."

He licked his lips; Heishanyang was hungry and craving.

Qinglong Daoren stared outside, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go, it's a good chance to go out and see."

"Fine." Heishanyang was thrilled; he opened his mouth, swallowed Qinglong Daoren, and then his aura began to shift, his body started shrinking, and his entire appearance changed.

He leisurely passed through the Formation, through space, and vanished into Mangshan.

One night passed.

The battlefield was littered with countless corpses, all freshly appeared, the scent of blood thick, drifting over the entire field.

Many survived; they either rested or replenished their true Qi.

Some were on the brink of death, gazing at the rising sun, showing a faint smile.

In a certain valley, under the sun's rays, mist still shrouded the area; the sunlight could not disperse the fog and ghostly qi.

Luo Qing and Jiang Wu hid; numerous wounds appeared on their bodies, and those wounds began to blacken.

Ghostly qi invaded, unstoppable; the two glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Wu, this time we've barely reclaimed a life. Our time is short; we must quickly leave this Formation, the Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King will soon discover this place."

"Cough cough cough."

Luo Qing coughed violently, stared outside, the wailing echoed continuously without cease.

Countless wronged souls drifted, searching for their silhouettes.

The Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King arrived nearby, looked this way, and the two realized they were exposed.

"Both of you, you have nowhere to run; perhaps surrender?"

The Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King's voice echoed within the Formation; the entire Formation was his domain.

The two could not escape.

As long as the battlefield continues its slaughter, the ghostly and death qi here will not dissipate, but grow ever denser.

His strength will continuously increase.

Dealing with Luo Qing and Jiang Wu is a trivial matter.
