Chapter 1519

Without any hesitation, Xu Jie directly ended this mountain bandit leader with a sword.

As a human cultivator, actually cooperating with evil spirits—naturally, there was nothing to keep; even if kept, it would be a disaster.

After solving this group of mountain bandits, Xu Jie looked at Zhao Zhengping and smiled.

"Senior Brother, what do you think?"

"That Heishan Ghost King didn't intervene in the Tianyu Dynasty's affairs; I don't know if it counts as sect points. Also, we are probably not its match."

A Ghost King is equivalent to a human Saint Realm cultivator, and Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, although their cultivation bases had skyrocketed, were only at the Heavenly Human Realm.

There was still a distance to the Saint Realm.

Rashly making a move against a Ghost King was a very dangerous thing. Zhao Zhengping was a bit hesitant.

Hearing this, Xu Jie smiled.

"Then we just won't move against the Heishan Ghost King. We'll slay the evil spirits under its command."

"As for the issue of sect points, does the sect believe us, or does it believe those evil spirits?"

It was true that the Heishan Ghost King didn't intervene in the Tianyu Dynasty's affairs, but did that matter? If I say you intervened, then you intervened.

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Zhao Zhengping pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"In that case, it's worth a try."

The sect points were still not enough. Right now, such a big piece of fat was placed right by their mouths. Zhao Zhengping also couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

As for the other fellow disciples, hearing that there were sect points to take, they naturally wouldn't refuse.

Thus, after some discussion, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and a group of junior disciples headed toward the Diyan Dynasty.

On the other side, within the Diyan Dynasty, in the Heishan range, a gloomy ghost palace stood deep in the valley.

The originally pitch-black ghost palace was now decorated with many red silk ribbons.

It looked as if they were getting married.

In fact, it was indeed so. In a few days, it would be the day the Heishan Ghost King got married.

As for the other party, it was said to be the daughter of a county governor in the Diyan Dynasty.

A Ghost King marrying a human woman was not common, but the Heishan Ghost King was keen on this.

The human women it married—if there weren't a hundred, there were eighty. It was just that the final outcome for these human women was almost all death from abuse, and almost none lived past a month.

This was the cruelty of evil spirits.

But facing the powerful Heishan Ghost King, the surrounding people had no ability to resist at all.

Even the county governor, who represented the court, was as servile as a domestic dog in front of the Heishan Ghost King.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about asking the court for help to wipe out the Heishan Ghost King.

But several successive county governors had constantly submitted memorials to the court, all of which seemed to sink into the sea without any response.

The court let the Heishan Ghost King do as it pleased and didn't care about the lives of the surrounding people at all.

Regarding this, the Heishan Ghost King naturally became more and more rampant, and the surrounding people who could run had long since run away, while those who couldn't run could only survive by compromising.

Now even the county governor's daughter couldn't escape the Heishan Ghost King's poisonous hands.

Using the lives of numerous people as a threat, the county governor had no choice and finally had to sacrifice his own daughter.

Haoyang County City was also full of red decorations at this time.

Like the Heishan Ghost Palace, it was decorated in a festive manner.

It was just that, entering the city, you would find that although red silk could be seen everywhere decorating the entire city.

The people coming and going had no smiles on their faces at all; on the contrary, each of them was worried and full of grief.

This was clearly the county governor's daughter getting married, but the whole city had no joy at all. The reason was naturally because the object of the marriage was the notorious Heishan Ghost King.

Everyone knew what the outcome would be once the county governor's daughter married over.

Being able to live past a month would be considered lucky.

After several days of traveling, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and their group finally arrived at Haoyang County City.

Shedding their Dao One Holy Land attire, at this time, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and their group looked like a group of loose cultivators who happened to be passing by.

Looking at the lifeless Haoyang County City along the way, a disciple asked curiously.

"The scale of the city is not small; it can be seen that it should have been a big city before, but it's a pity that there are broken walls everywhere, and there are not many shops on the street that are open."

The feeling the entire Haoyang County City gave people was lifeless.

Moreover, the people coming and going were also sallow and thin.

Also, walking all the way, Xu Jie and the others discovered that there hadn't been a single cultivator encountered in this city until now.

The people coming and going were almost all ordinary people without cultivation bases.

This was strange. You must know that in the Central Continent, not to mention everyone having cultivation talent, but relying on the unique environmental advantages, at least fifty percent of people had stepped into the path of cultivation.

Of course, more of them were at the Body Refining Realm; after all, without talent and without sufficient resources, the difficulty of breaking through the Body Refining Realm was too great.

But in this Haoyang County City, one couldn't even see a person at the Body Refining Realm, which was very strange.

And the red silk decorations all around—whose family was getting married? Such a big battle.

They finally found a restaurant that was open, although it was very dilapidated, but this was the only restaurant they had seen open until now.
