Chapter 140: Little King of Zhao: King Yong, you are restless!
Beiming Continent.

A beam of light stopped, revealing a ghost shadow in it.

This ghost figure was Zhou Haochen disguised as the messenger of the Thunder Blade Ghost King.

When the ghost guarding the gate of Beimingzhou saw Zhou Haochen, he quickly came up to him warmly.

After all, they had just seen the messenger leave, so they naturally recognized his appearance.

"I've seen the messenger!"

"I want to see Island Master Wu." Zhou Haochen said concisely.

Island Master Wu is the master of Beimingzhou and controls the life and death of all ghosts in Beimingzhou.

"Please come in, envoy. We will report immediately."

The two ghosts guarding the gate welcomed Zhou Haochen in respectfully.

After entering the hall, two beautiful ghost maids served tea to Zhou Haochen.

I have to say that there is actually not much difference between the Nine Netherworld and the world of the living.

The same classes and the same social practices.

The biggest difference is that those in the human world are human, while those in the underworld are ghosts.

Even the people who served tea were two young ghost maids.

As for the brewed tea, it opened Zhou Haochen's eyes even more. It was a cup of black liquid, filled with strong yin energy and emitting a strange smell.

It looks just like the dark cuisine on the blue planet.

Zhou Haochen felt his scalp tingling when he saw it.

This tea might be of great benefit to ghosts and spirits, but he absolutely dared not drink it.

Zhou Haochen waved his hand and said, "I won't drink the tea anymore. I want to see Island Master Wu right away!"

"Please wait a moment, envoy. I have already gone to inform the island masters."

Soon, two ghostly spirits came into the hall.

These two ghosts, one holds a four-stringed pipa, and the other has fangs in his mouth and horns on his head.

Zhou Haochen took a look and found that the two ghosts had very obvious features and his identities could be seen at a glance.

The former is the Pipa ghost, and the latter is the ferocious ghost.

However, in the memory of the Yaksha Ghost King's messenger, these two ghosts were not the island lord who ruled Beimingzhou - Island Lord Wu, but Island Lord Wu's deputies. They were called the Second Island Lord and the Third Island Lord by the ghosts on the sandbar.

When the Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost saw Zhou Haochen, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Didn’t the messenger just leave?

Why are you back?

"Messenger, do you have any other instructions?"

The Pipa Ghost and the Fierce Ghost were very humble. After all, the messenger in front of them represented the Yaksha Ghost King.

Zhou Haochen's face was solemn and he spoke in a deep voice.

"I just forgot to mention that in a while, it will be the Ghost King's 3,000th birthday. In order to celebrate the Ghost King's birthday, the amount of black and white stones that can be handed in this year will be doubled."

Doubled?!

Upon hearing the news, the ferocious ghost and the pipa ghost showed deep horror on their faces.

Three thousand birthday?

real or fake?

Could the messenger in front of me be a fake?

The vigilance in the hearts of both of them was not without reason.

Among the ghosts, there is a strange kind of ghost called the faceless ghost.

The faceless ghost has no face of its own, so it can disguise itself as the appearance of other ghosts and spirits.

Once there was a faceless ghost who changed into the appearance of a messenger from the City of the Dead, and ate and drank for free. He also had sex with the ghost wife of an island owner for free, causing the island owner to lose face.

The Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost looked at each other with vigilant eyes, as if saying.

Could it be that the faceless ghost has deceived our Beiming Continent?

Zhou Haochen sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the air and immediately shouted loudly.

"Why, do you two island masters think I'm a fake?"

"Don't dare!"

"Mr. Envoy, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just... there's a faceless ghost in the area recently, swindling people..."

Without waiting for the ferocious ghost to finish his words, Zhou Haochen let out a sharp shout.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped drastically, like a howling north wind.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom of a Yaksha appeared behind Zhou Haochen.

This phantom of a Yaksha was naturally the Yaksha form cultivated through the visualization of Jiuyou Zhenyu.

However, in the eyes of the ferocious ghost and the pipa ghost, the Yaksha's appearance has a completely different meaning.

The Yaksha form is the virtual image of the Dharma bestowed by the Yaksha Ghost King to the messenger. It represents the Yaksha Ghost King, and only the true messenger can display it.

Since the messenger in front of him can display the phantom of the Yaksha Dharma Image, he must be a real messenger.

"Messenger, forgive me!"

"I'm a little kid, I don't know what a great man is. Please be more magnanimous."

The Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost quickly knelt down and kowtowed, their legs trembling and their fawning smiles looking even more mean-spirited than those of human beings, not looking like evil ghosts at all.

Society can not only smooth out the edges of people, but also smooth out the edges of evil spirits.

Seeing the two ghosts trembling in fear, Zhou Haochen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Why did he dare to disguise himself as the messenger of the Yaksha Demon King?
In addition to the appearance of all living beings, the most important thing is that he practiced the Yaksha chapter of the Nine Nether Prison Visualization.

The illusory form of Yaksha is enough to fool ordinary ghosts.

"He who does not know is not guilty!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Messenger!"

The Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Where is the owner of Wu Island? Why doesn't he come to see me?" Zhou Haochen asked.

After the Pipa Ghost and the Fierce Ghost confirmed that Zhou Haochen in front of them was the real messenger, they no longer concealed anything.

"My Lord, you don't know that the island master has just gone into seclusion and is practicing a secret technique."

"Hmph - I don't care about any secret method. Let Island Master Wu come out immediately. If we delay the Ghost King's 3,000th birthday, can you afford it?"

The ferocious ghost and the pipa ghost looked at each other and spoke quickly.

"Calm down, sir. We will go and ask the island owner for help now."

After leaving the hall, the Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost looked at each other, with helplessness revealed on their faces.

"Three thousand years old? Why haven't I heard of this news?"

"Keep your voice down! Most likely he is just asking for treasure in a different name."

"I guess the island owner was dissatisfied because he didn't feed the envoy well enough, so he launched a surprise attack."

"Never mind him, let the island owner take care of this matter."

The Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost came together, paid their respects to Island Master Wu, and repeated Zhou Haochen's words.

After hearing this, Island Master Wu's first reaction was exactly the same as his two subordinates.

This is just a clever excuse to squeeze the marrow out of people!

"You bastard, even if I gave you 50% of the kickback, it still can't feed you?"

"Zhou Bapi!"

Island Master Wu had a ferocious look on his face, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he wished he could cut Zhou Haochen into pieces.

Seeing the murderous look on Island Master Wu's face, Pipa Ghost hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Island Master, he is the messenger of the Yaksha Demon King after all, so it is better to keep things peaceful."

"It's nothing more than giving a little more black and white stones that can sink into the water and fooling people."

"Kill the messenger. Even though the Forgotten River is long, there is no place for the three of us brothers to stay!"

The Pipa ghost gave the ferocious ghost a look, and the ferocious ghost immediately stood up to persuade.

Under the persuasion of his two capable generals, Island Master Wu gradually suppressed the anger in his heart.

He is a wealthy man and cannot act rashly or casually.

He couldn't bear to break the bottles and jars of Beimingzhou.

Moreover, the two old brothers, Pipa Ghost and Chen Ning Ghost, who had fought with him to conquer the world, had long lost their former fighting spirit.

"Ugh--"

"That's all!"

"It's nothing more than cutting some more meat to feed these vultures."

Island Master Wu was very depressed. He had just been in seclusion for less than a quarter of an hour when he encountered such a bad thing. He had to come forward to deal with the messenger of the Yaksha Ghost King.

A moment later, Island Master Wu met Zhou Haochen in the hall.

"Goodbye..."

Before the word "messenger" was uttered, something strange happened.

I saw a pitch-black dragon claw attacking his chest.

This pitch-black dragon claw contained terrible murderous intent and evil spirit, as if even a little bit of it would kill him.

In this pitch-black dragon claw, Island Master Wu even felt his soul trembling.

A feeling of fear he had never felt before emerged in his heart.

Will die!
The kind that is so soul-crushing!
A thick fear filled the heart of Island Master Wu. Subconsciously, he retreated explosively, moving so fast that he used all his strength.

A bang!
The shadow of Panlong's claws cut through the void.

Mixed with the might of Tianxie's condensed evil energy, it could be said to be able to break gold and split stone. Unfortunately, Island Master Wu was alert enough, and this grab only scratched some fur.

There was a hint of surprise in Zhou Haochen's eyes.

Island Master Wu was actually able to dodge this move.

The ghost's movements are indeed spooky.

If it was an ordinary practitioner, even a warrior, at such a close distance, he would be pierced through by one claw.

"My Lord, what did I do wrong..."

Before Island Master Wu could finish his words, the figure of the Demon Lord suddenly appeared behind him.

The Demon Lord was seen holding the Soul-Respecting Banner and shaking it vigorously.

Thick black fog emerged from the Soul Honoring Banner.

The black mist shot out like countless tentacles.

Island Master Wu was caught off guard and was entangled by the black mist tentacles, screaming in agony.

The Soul-Respecting Banner is a magic weapon that is used to restrain ghosts and monsters. Island Master Wu had just escaped Zhou Haochen’s sneak attack. His old strength was gone and new strength had not yet arrived. How could he have the strength to resist?
In just three breaths, it was swallowed by the black fog and suppressed in the Soul-Respecting Banner.

From Zhou Haochen's sneak attack to Dao Zun's soul flag's suppression, the entire process was completed in a flash.

By the time the Pipa Ghost and the Fierce Ghost showed shocked expressions, Island Master Wu had already been completely suppressed.

They wanted to rescue, but it was too late.

He could only open his mouth wide and look at Zhou Haochen with horror and even fear.

"Mr. Envoy, you...you are still..."

Zhou Haochen looked at the Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost and sneered.

"Give you two choices!"

"Submit to me, and you will become my soul slave."

The Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost took one look at the Zunhun Banner that was still emitting black air, their bones softened, and they knelt down decisively.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the island master!"

"My subordinates pay their respects to the island master!"

The two ghosts said in unison, and knelt down faster than Zhou Haochen expected.

He thought he would give them some threats, but he didn't expect that these two ghosts had no loyalty at all.

But Zhou Haochen was too lazy to care about it.

If he was not unfamiliar with the place and knew nothing about Beiming Continent, and needed these two ghost traitors to help rule Beiming Continent, he would have suppressed these two ghosts in the Zunhun Banner long ago.

"From now on, I will be the island master of Beimingzhou."

"Take me to see the stock of submerged black and white stones."

The Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost looked at each other and thought secretly in their hearts.

Sure enough!

The messenger came for the black and white stone that sank into water.

But it didn't matter to them either, it was just a change of master.

Moreover, the new master seems to be more powerful and more promising than the previous Island Master Wu.

Not only is he powerful enough to kill Island Master Wu easily, he is also the confidant of the Yaksha Ghost King and has a promising future.

The Pipa Ghost and the Fierce Ghost were already fantasizing about the scene of themselves rising to great heights after getting hold of a powerful figure.

Soon, the two ghosts brought Zhou Haochen to the warehouse.

Zhou Haochen took a deep breath when he saw the warehouse filled with water-sinking black and white stones like a small hill.

many!

so big!

The water-sinking black and white stone in the storage bag of the Yaksha Demon King's messenger is nothing compared to the one in the warehouse.

"According to the rules, Beimingzhou has to hand over a certain amount of water-sinking black and white stones every year. Why is there such a large inventory?" Zhou Haochen asked.

Since Zhou Haochen became the new leader, the two ghosts did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Island Master, the production volume reported by the previous island master was only 30% of the actual production volume. The unreported production volume was all placed in the warehouse and carefully traded out through the black market."

Zhou Haochen sneered when he heard this.

As expected, concealing the truth is a common occurrence even in the underworld.

Zhou Haochen waved his right hand and put all the submersible black and white stones in the warehouse into the storage bag.

With these water-sinking black and white stones, it is enough for Zhou Haochen to cultivate to the fifth level.

After taking away the submerged black and white stones, Zhou Haochen asked the Demon Lord to replace him as the island master to supervise the Pipa Ghost and the Ferocious Ghost.

If they weren't worried about the noise being too loud and the situation in Beiming Continent being exposed.

Zhou Haochen had already refined all the ghosts in the entire Beiming Continent into ghost servants of the Zunhun Banner.

Just for the sake of the Sinking Black and White Stone, after the mines of the Sinking Black and White Stone are exhausted, they will be refined into ghost servants to replenish the Zunhun Banner.

After arranging everything, Zhou Haochen returned to the human world and began to practice.

……

Daxing County, another county affiliated to Yujing City, has a status equivalent to that of Wanping County.

At this time, in an ordinary house in Daxing County, there was a knock on the door.

Open with a squeak.

The door opened and an elegant middle-aged man walked out.

If Zhou Haochen saw this elegant middle-aged man again, he would definitely recognize him as the Chief Secretary of King Zhao - Tai Shuqing.

As for the person knocking on the door, he was a young man who looked about the same age as Zhou Haochen.

He was dressed in fine clothes and looked like a descendant of a merchant family.

Tai Shuqing bowed to the young man when he saw him.

"Meet the young prince!"

"Uncle Qing, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Young Master outside."

This young man is the core of the remnants of King Zhao - the Little King Zhao, and also the orphan of the King Zhao.

After the two of them walked into the study, Prince Zhao asked with concern.

"Uncle Qing, how is your injury?"

"It's completely healed!"

"It's all my fault. I was careless for a moment and was ambushed by the Thirteenth Prince."

"Faced with Shen Xing and that eleventh-level thunder cultivator, I had no choice but to reveal my sword cultivation strength, which delayed His Highness's important matter."

"It's okay, Uncle Qing, your life is more important."

"It's exposed!"

"Besides, if it's not exposed at all, it will arouse suspicion."

"When Yu Shenxing learns that Uncle Qing has switched to sword training and that you have the Qingming Sword left by our father, he will definitely think that this is my trump card."

"But I don't know..."

The young King of Zhao stopped talking halfway.

He changed the subject and asked.

"How is my seventh uncle now?"

Among Emperor Qianyuan's brothers, Prince Yong ranked seventh. The seventh uncle mentioned by Prince Zhao refers to Prince Yong who became a monk in Zhenjue Temple.

"He became a monk in Zhenjue Temple, not caring about worldly affairs, and looked like he had let go of everything."

"Looks like?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the young King Zhao's tone.

"What about actually?"

"It's hard to say, but..."

"There is something interesting that you may be interested in, little prince."

"whats the matter?"

"Before the White Lotus Cult took action, an organization called Xuanyuanxue contacted the White Lotus Cult and helped them enter the Earth Mother Tree Realm as an insider."

Xuanyuan blood!

When the young King of Zhao heard the three words "Xuanyuan Blood", he immediately understood what the interesting thing Tai Shuqing was talking about.

I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood!
King Zhao had heard of this poem.

Named after Xuanyuan, the organization Xuanyuanxue is most likely related to the royal family.

"It seems that my seventh uncle is not very content!"

"Peace?"

"How can I be at peace?"

"That is the throne of the Supreme Being. Back then, Prince Yong's influence was much stronger than that of the false emperor. He was the real enemy of the prince."

"It's just hateful that the false emperor was so cunning and cunning, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. After Prince Yong and the prince were both defeated, he showed his fangs and captured Prince Yong and the prince in one fell swoop."

The remnants of Prince Zhao are still brooding over the fight for the throne sixteen years ago.

In their view, a villain like Emperor Qianyuan was no match for the wise and powerful King Zhao.

Even if Prince Yong sat on the throne in the end, they would not be so unwilling.

But how could they be willing to let a villain like Emperor Qianyuan take advantage and sit on the throne?
"hehe!"

"I will definitely seek justice for my father for what happened back then."

"But... the most urgent thing is to go meet this restless Seventh Uncle."

"Perhaps, Uncle Seven can bring me a little surprise."
