Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 575 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina

The old man called himself Old Ghost. According to his account, the east and west sides of the town were managed separately. Their daily lives were all in the east side, which was managed by officials sent down from the Xuanming Sect in the mountains. Life there was relatively stable.

But the officials in charge of the western part of the town didn't care; that area was a riot zone, and whoever was the strongest and most ruthless was the boss.

It turns out there was only one Ghost King, Boss Wu, who was said to be cruel and liked to torture and kill souls. He also liked to make souls fight with beast souls. There was a large arena there, which Boss Wu was in charge of. He liked all things brutal.

Although Boss Wu is brutal, these are all internal matters of the West District. With the Xuanming Sect in charge in the East, the two sides are at peace.

However, some time ago, a soul in the West District that called himself Tiger Overlord suddenly rose to prominence. For some unknown reason, he suddenly ascended to the level of Ghost King. In order to compete for the title of boss, he started fighting with Boss Wu.

Logically speaking, this has nothing to do with the East District. However, it is unknown how Tiger Overlord got in touch with the Xuanming Sect. When he fights with Boss Wu and is seriously injured, he will come to the East District to capture innocent souls to replenish his soul power.

Shangguan, who had always been very responsible, suddenly became ambiguous in his attitude. He didn't stand up for the ordinary souls in the East District at all, and even blamed them for running around, which led to them being captured by the souls in the West District.

Therefore, during this period, all the souls in the East District were in a state of fear. They were not strong enough to reason with Shangguan from the Xuanming Sect, and they dared not provoke Tiger Tyrant of the West District.

Therefore, nowadays, as soon as people hear about fighting, they rush home and hide in their own homes. If they don't run around, they won't have a reason or opportunity to be arrested.

Su Jinyue was puzzled: "The people from the West District have already broken the rules and are recklessly coming to the East District to capture souls. What's the use of you hiding at home?"

"You can't defeat Tiger King, but what if he breaks into your homes? You'll all die anyway!"

The old ghost laughed and said, "You only know one side of the story..."

It turns out that even the collusion between Tiger King and the official sent by the Xuanming Sect was subject to limitations; Tiger King could not be allowed to do whatever he wanted.

Tiger King arrests people on the street, and Shangguan can turn a blind eye because they are being arrested for running around. But it is unacceptable for Tiger King to break into people's homes at will.

Su Jinyue understood. There are always cases of deceiving superiors and the law of the jungle, and the reason why Tiger Tyrant dared to be so arrogant must be because he had given benefits to his superiors behind the scenes, allowing him to break the rules within a certain range.

She just hadn't expected that the Xuanming Sect would act so blatantly.

Before coming here, I heard from the young master of Xuanming that Xuanming Sect should be a top power in this world. So why are the residents of the towns at the foot of Xuanming Sect Mountain living such a precarious life?

Is it a management problem within the Xuanming Sect, or a problem with the world?

Su Jinyue scratched her head, feeling that perhaps she knew too little about the world and couldn't figure it out no matter how she tried.

"Why has this place become like this? Are there no humans left in this world? I see children here too. Is it possible for souls to merge into one's own children?..."

Upon hearing this, Lao Gui looked at Su Jinyue strangely, and then carefully glanced at Xiao Jing'an.

These two people behaved strangely, and the questions they asked were also strange.

He could sense the aura of Xiao Jing'an's soul, and that Xiao Jing'an was extremely powerful, not someone he could afford to provoke.

This woman was also very strange. Thinking about her question about whether humans existed, he suddenly realized that the difference he felt between himself and her might be the difference between a soul and a living person.

"Living, vibrant people! How long has it been since any human beings have existed in this world!" Old Gui was also somewhat agitated for a moment.

Old Ghost has been alive for quite some time, and he lives at the foot of Xuanming Sect Mountain, so he also has his own channels of information.

He knew that the Xuanming Realm had reached its end, and he also knew that the people at the top had been searching for a way to survive.

Moreover, he has received definite information that the higher-ups have found a way out!

The reason why Tiger Overlord was able to suddenly advance to the Ghost King realm was that he bribed people from the Xuanming Sect, went to a certain place, and his realm improved after he returned.

He also wanted to improve his strength so that he could protect the children under his command, but he had no power or influence, and no good things to bribe people, so he couldn't find a way.

Unexpectedly, there's always a way out!

These two people are not familiar with the Xuanming Realm, and one of them is even alive. They must have come from the place that Tiger Overlord went to!

It doesn't matter if he can't go; as long as he entertains these two well, he should also get some benefits.

These two men have clear and upright eyes, and are kind and gentle. Despite being in a superior position, they do not look down on those with lower abilities. Old Ghost has a premonition that befriending these two men will bring immense benefits in the future...

"Old Ghost? Old Ghost? Is this question hard to answer?" Su Jinyue asked calmly.

Her sudden appearance with Xiao Jing'an, and the question she posed, made Su Jinyue realize that the other party must have some suspicions. But she also knew that Lao Gui was a smart man, and a smart man should know what to do.

"Uh..." Old Ghost came back to his senses, glanced at Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an, and seemed to have made up his mind.

"It's not that it's hard to answer, it's just that this is a long story..."

"It's alright, we have time anyway, let's just treat it as listening to a story." Su Jinyue didn't like the tea that Lao Gui brought out. She took out a set of porcelain white teaware from her space and slowly brewed the tea.

The tea she brewed with spiritual tea and spring water had an aroma that even the old ghost could tell was of high quality, because just smelling it made his soul feel completely refreshed, as if his soul had been given a bath.

Old Ghost took a few greedy deep breaths, and then he became even more respectful to Su Jinyue and the other person.

"The story begins five hundred years ago. At that time, the entire continent was still inhabited by normal people. The four major families of Shangguan, Ouyang, Murong, and Huangfu each managed a section of the continent. Although the four families occasionally had friction, they generally got along well and there were no major disputes."

At that time, it was common for the four major families to intermarry, but it was generally agreed that the next generation of family heads would not need to intermarry.

However, an exception occurred: Murong Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Murong family head, fell in love with Shangguan Jin, the eldest son of the Shangguan family head. However, this legitimate daughter had been engaged to Shangguan Hui, the legitimate son of the Shangguan family head's younger brother, since childhood.

For the sake of love, the eldest daughter of the Murong family insisted on breaking off her engagement with her fiancé and marrying her lover.

But the Shangguan family has a family rule that the next head of the family cannot marry into another family. The eldest son of the Shangguan family head is the candidate for the next head of the family.

Because both the Murong and Shangguan families disagreed, the pressure from their families caused great pain to the two lovers, so in the end, they simply eloped secretly.

The two eloped completely, and neither of their families could find them. They disappeared without a trace for the next ten years.

The couple's elopement not only brought shame to both families, but also put Shangguan Hui, the former fiancé, in an awkward position.

But at this moment, Shangguan Hui's uncle, the head of the family, stepped forward. Since Shangguan Jin didn't want the position of heir for love, he would take the initiative to dissolve the engagement between Shangguan Wan and Shangguan Hui, and then train Shangguan Hui to be the next head of the Shangguan family.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hui realized that while the engagement was dissolved, the family head's approval was warranted, which was quite good, so he agreed.
