Chapter 134: Hanging Mountain

Although they viewed Li Heng as an ignorant fool.

These two Weirds did not seem to be arrogant; while Yin energy surged, their auras erupted, and they attacked with full force, attempting to suppress Li Heng instantly and make him fall into their hands.

The White Bone Prayer Beads on the neck of the Dao-robed Weird flew up and grew in the wind, actually forming white bone skulls the size of houses, enclosing Li Heng within them and trapping him.

The white bone skulls, which originally had no vitality, opened their mouths in an evil manner, spitting out turbid, cold, evil energy capable of ruining a person's physical body, harming their spirit, and destroying both life and soul.

Compared to that, the monk-robed Weird was simple and brutal.

His figure directly expanded, turning into a small giant, and the thigh he was constantly gnawing on in his hand also transformed into a massive club, which he swung easily, whipping up gusts of wind.

The Dao-robed Weird trapped Li Heng, while the monk-robed Weird launched an offensive, raising that club, which flickered with all sorts of evil green light, and smashed it down toward Li Heng from above.

Li Heng still made no move, which only made the two confirm that this was indeed an ignorant fool! The reason he could arrive on this Yin Path was likely just by accidentally stumbling in; he was not worth worrying about.

Clearly, these two Weirds coordinated very well.

One provided crowd control, the other provided damage output.

Observing the aura and methods of these two Weirds, a conclusion was reached. Even a Grandmaster at the peak of the True Qi Realm would be beaten to death by this combo if they encountered these two Weirds.

But why did they have to provoke him?

He couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh, then let his Boundless Earth Dharma Aspect manifest slightly; the Earth Dharma Aspect Power filled the entire area and gave a slight tremor, seemingly intensifying the gravity here, causing the two Weirds to freeze in place.

The monk-robed Weird still wanted to smash Li Heng to death with one strike, but once the Earth Dharma Aspect suppressed him, he couldn't resist at all and fell directly from a standing position to his knees. Before he could even think about what was happening, he roared in anger, wanting to stand up, but he remained motionless, raging in impotence.

The Earth Dharma Aspect suppressed him again; at this moment, even while kneeling, he couldn't withstand the suppression of the Earth Dharma Aspect and collapsed directly onto the ground, unable to move. No matter how much force he exerted, the flesh, muscles, and fascia all over his body were trembling, but it was still to no avail.

As for the Dao-robed Weird, his situation was even more miserable.

Before the monk-robed Weird had even collapsed, he had already collapsed first, and it was the kind where he was pressed flat against the ground; under the heavy pressure of the Earth Dharma Aspect, he directly formed a depression in the ground and sank into it.

That massive set of White Bone Prayer Beads trapping Li Heng even appeared with dense cracks after a "Crack!" sound, unable to withstand the suppression of the Boundless Earth Dharma Aspect.

The next moment, it couldn't hold on any longer; the white bone skulls collapsed directly, shattered into pieces, and were finally crushed into dust, turning into actual bone ash.

They were terrified in their hearts, looking at Li Heng in horror.

The strength of these two Weirds was actually quite decent.

Although they couldn't move at this moment, they could still speak; suddenly encountering this massive change, the situation had completely reversed, so they hurriedly begged for mercy, wanting to ask Li Heng not to hold their transgressions against them and to spare their lives.

"This lord, we two had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai; please, we beg you to spare us. In the future, whatever you want us to do, we will do, we will have no objections." The two Weirds pleaded bitterly.

They knew they had kicked an iron plate; how could this Living Dead before them be an ignorant fool? He was clearly a ruthless person hiding very deep, and he really had been fishing!

"I ask you, what is this Great Banquet about?"

Li Heng spoke indifferently.

At this moment, Li Heng was the butcher's knife, and they were the fish and meat.

In order to save their own lives, the two Weirds naturally told everything they knew, spilling out all the information about this so-called Great Banquet, truly afraid that if they spoke a second too slowly, they would lose their lives.

Hearing this, Li Heng raised his eyebrows.

According to what these two Weirds said, at a distance of five Ghost Domains ahead, a Ghost Domain named Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was holding a banquet and had invited the Weirds and demons from the surrounding Ghost Domains to attend.

As for what kind of banquet it was?

Naturally, it was a human-meat Great Banquet!

He pondered slightly, recalling a hidden place he had seen in the Void when a wisp of his divine sense went to a gathering long ago; it was a mountain ridge where skulls were like ridges, skeletons were like forests, and human skin and flesh rotted into mud and dust... Could that be this so-called Ten Thousand Demon Ridge?

"According to what you said, the scale of the banquet is huge. Then where does this human meat come from? As far as I know, there have been no large-scale casualties within the human dynasties of the Present World."

Li Heng spoke indifferently.

The two Weirds were stunned upon hearing this, their pupils shrinking; why didn't this ruthless person even know such things? Could he be some old antique that came out of a secret Forbidden Zone? Otherwise, this made no sense.

However, doubts were doubts, and they could only speak honestly.

"The source of the human meat comes from outside the human dynasties, a place called Hanging Mountain, where humans are kept in captivity, just like humans keep pigs and sheep. The Human-Livestock there are fat and delicious."

Keeping humans in captivity!?

Li Heng's heart trembled slightly; he was not calm. He should have thought of this earlier; with the situation of this World where Weirds ran rampant and demons wreaked havoc, this situation was entirely possible.

He suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Then I ask you, where is Hanging Mountain?"

His tone remained calm, and his heart was also very composed; the matter had already happened, and raging in impotence was unnecessary. Since they had the confidence to keep humans in captivity, it meant there must be many demons and Strange Monsters.

And therefore, a lot of Source Power!

Once his strength advanced, he might have to go there for a trip.

Hearing this, the two Weirds looked blank and shook their heads one after another.

"Lord, we don't know about this either."

"We only heard that it is outside the human dynasties; anyway, it is very far from here. The Three Sages of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge said before that this batch of human meat took a lot of effort for him to transport over."

"Then how was this batch of human meat transported over?"

"It is said to be through the Yin Path?"

Looking at the guesses of these two Weirds, Li Heng shook his head slightly; clearly, they didn't know either. But this was not strange; a place of this level was not something they could come into contact with.

Perhaps the so-called Three Sages of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge knew this?

Li Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, then spoke slowly again.

"What is this about the Yin Path dissolving that you mentioned? After the Yin Path dissolves, will this Ghost Domain really move closer to the Present World?"

The more Li Heng asked, the more panicked the two Weirds became, feeling that Li Heng lacked too much common sense, and a guess vaguely arose in their hearts, only they didn't dare to think in that direction at all.

"Lord, we already told you just now; we did not lie to you."

The two Weirds spoke sincerely, suppressing the panic in their hearts.

"Then why does this phenomenon occur?"

"We don't know the specifics either."

"We only heard that because of some matter, the Yin energy in the Present World has gradually become dense; once the Yin energy becomes dense, the Present World is no longer the Present World, and the Ghost Domains will naturally move closer in that direction."

The two Weird continued to answer, causing Li Heng to frown slightly.

Once the Yin energy becomes dense, the Present World is no longer the Present World?

Could his previous guess be true? Is it really developing toward the worst-case scenario? Once the Yin energy completely erupts, the area of Bei'an County will fall into a Human Ghost Domain and no longer belong to the Present World?

If the situation in Bei'an County is so terrible, what about other places?

Li Heng remained silent, and the two Weird trembled more and more in their hearts, guessing all sorts of possibilities; this was clearly just common knowledge that many Weird knew, so why did this ruthless man happen not to know it?

Could it be... they dared not think, dared not think!

"Do the Ghost Domains of this Yin Path all move closer to the Present World?"

"No, my lord. The location of a Ghost Domain corresponds to a specific coordinate in the Present World. Only when the Yin energy in that area of the Present World is dense will this Ghost Domain move closer to that area."

"It is like two sides of the same coin, eventually gradually overlapping."

The two Weird continued to answer cautiously.

Li Heng nodded; so that was it. He finally understood that if no one stopped or resolved this process, the size of the Present World might be nibbled away step by step.

Perhaps many years ago, the Present World was larger than this.

Within the range of human activity, there are already so many Ghostly Monster, so what about outside the human dynasties? Combined with the Dali Dynasty's state of neglect, it is obvious that in this World, Ghostly Monster have the advantage.

This process might be extremely difficult to reverse or resolve.

What a truly desperate truth, he evaluated.

"My lord, is there anything else you would like to ask? We two are in a hurry to get back." Seeing Li Heng remain silent for a long time, the two Weird tentatively and humbly said, their tone very cowardly.

"Any other questions? Have you eaten human flesh?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

If this question had been asked before, they could have answered it very naturally, but after thinking of that possibility, in their eyes, this question was the death god's summons; they trembled in their hearts and dared not answer at all.

Seeing the two Weird silent, Li Heng sighed faintly.

"It seems you have."

He waved one hand, and the Earth Dharma Image suppressed them, directly crushing the two Weird to death. He waved his hand again to brush the Sun, and true fire flew out, burning the two Weird until not even ash remained, completely eliminating any traces.

Source Power +100

He had asked what needed to be asked, and these two Weird had just revealed their background. They were loners with no minor ghosts serving them; otherwise, he might have had to track them to their lair and slaughter those minor ghosts.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Li Heng looked at the deep mountain Ghost Domain ahead, thought of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge five Ghost Domains away, and fell into deep thought, hesitating for a moment. But in the end, he turned and left.

The distance of five Ghost Domains was still too far.

It would be fine if the Yin Path were stable, but if the Yin Path suddenly disintegrated while he was halfway there, he would have no way to return the way he came, and even if he broke through the Ghost Domain to return to the Present World, he would not know where he might end up in some Ghost Place.

Unless he advanced to the Innate realm.

Only then would he have the confidence to fight his way there and walk back!

The most urgent task now is to report this matter. If the Ghost Domain moves closer to the Present World and the Ghost Domain overlaps with the Present World, who knows how many Disaster it will trigger.

He could feel it.

The movement speed of this Ghost Domain is getting faster and faster; in his mental perception, his return to the Present World is becoming easier and easier, without even needing to use much power.

Clearly, this Ghost Domain is getting closer and closer to the Present World!
