Chapter 128: Chapter 128: I Heard the Ghost Emperor is Very Ugly

Madman! Wu Zhong, that man, is just a madman.

After hearing the line left by Wu Zhong in the Blood Book, Ye Lingyue’s mind was dominated by one thought.

Perhaps to Governor Lan and others, this was clearly a provocation after Wu Zhong had committed murder.

But Ye Lingyue understood that Wu Zhong’s words were meant for her.

Using five or six hundred lives as a gift, such grand gestures could only be made by a madman like Wu Zhong.

While cursing Wu Zhong in her heart, Ye Lingyue also felt a sense of deep emotion.

In this world, indeed, the strong are revered. Top experts like Wu Zhong, what are laws and national laws to them? Just a fart.

However, she still had to thank Wu Zhong. Although this guy’s actions were overly crude and simple, they indeed solved many problems for Ye Lingyue, at least she didn’t have to return the treasure from the Mountain and Sea Gang’s vault.

"Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong, truly lives up to his infamous reputation," Governor Lan said after listening to the whole incident, and it took a while before he could utter these words.

"Ghost Emperor? Foster father, who is Ghost Emperor?" Ye Lingyue’s interactions were very limited, and she was unfamiliar with the title of Ghost Emperor.

"Ling Yue, you’ve never heard of the Ghost Emperor? That’s a legendary figure on the mainland. Rumor has it that his power is enough to cover the sky with one hand, and some say, the military force he controls in the Underworld Yama Palace is stronger than any country’s army on the mainland," Lan Cai’er immediately gossiped excitedly when mentioning the Ghost Emperor, a well-known figure across the mainland.

"Also, I heard the Ghost Emperor is very ugly, hunchbacked, with the skin of a toad—all unsightly. That’s why he always wears a mask when meeting people. And they say, all who have seen the Ghost Emperor have died violently," Lan Cai’er said this and hurriedly covered her mouth, pulling on Ye Lingyue, inspecting her from top to bottom, afraid that Ye Lingyue might suddenly drop dead.

"Dear sister, I’m fine," Ye Lingyue reassured Lan Cai’er, and thought to herself that rumors are just rumors. If seeing Wu Zhong meant death, she would have had to die more than three times by now.

Besides, although Wu Zhong wore a mask, his figure was tall and the lower half of his face under the mask was angular. As for what the face under the golden mask looked like, that remained an unknown.

But at least it had nothing to do with being hunchbacked or looking like a toad.

"Ling Yue, did you actually see Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong just now?" Governor Lan stared at his daughter in disbelief; what was the time for these trivial gossip pieces now?

However, there is some truth in it; apart from the minions of the Ghost Emperor, those who have seen the Ghost Emperor either become blind and mute, or die violently, but his foster daughter seemed unharmed, which was indeed strange.

"Actually, I didn’t see clearly. At that time, I had Sister Lan deliver Rainbow Five Treasures brewing alcohol, luring Sha Kuang to drink some. Just then, Sha Kuang suddenly collapsed, I didn’t even see Wu Zhong’s face, I only heard his voice, and then he disappeared," Ye Lingyue thought for a moment, deciding to omit the fact that she had met Wu Zhong several times.

After all, from Lan Cai’s description, Wu Zhong was definitely not a benevolent person.

If the Mountain and Sea Gang was considered a cancer of Li City level, then Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong was like a tyrant of the mainland level.

Being ambiguously connected to such a great tyrant was not a good thing.

At this moment, Wu Zhong, who was flying over Li City, suddenly felt a tickle in his nose and sneezed loudly.

"At this time, Little Yueyue should have already received my gift," Wu Zhong’s phoenix eyes narrowed, and a rare gentle light flickered in his amber-colored eyes.

Below him, Li City grew farther and farther away, gradually turning into a tiny black dot, the size of an ant.

After daybreak, the governor’s mansion put up several public notices.

Soon, the whole populace of Li City knew of a shocking piece of news.

The largest gang in Li City, the Mountain and Sea Gang had suffered an extermination overnight, including Sha Kuang and about five to six hundred of its members met untimely deaths.

It was said that the cause of death was due to the gang leader and his son owing a large sum of money to the notorious Underworld Yama Palace, and were personally exterminated by Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong.

This mass extermination caused an uproar in the city, and it took several months before it finally subsided.

For the Ye Family and the governor’s mansion, the extermination of the Mountain and Sea Gang and the recovery of the Xuantie Ore was a win-win situation.

When Governor Lan searched the gang’s treasury, he also discovered a lot of account books proving that the gang was the remnant force of pirates who had once wreaked havoc around the Lishui area.

Governor Lan thus earned great merit for this.

On the other hand, the Ye Family also profited quite a bit.

The appearance of Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong helped cover up the fact that the Ye Family had once lost Xuantie Ore, and they smoothly delivered the Xuantie Ore, becoming the military’s Xuantie supplier.

Moreover, after the collapse of the Mountain and Sea Gang, the Ye Family incorporated some of the remaining gang members and replaced the Mountain and Sea Gang as the fourth influential force in Li City within just half a year.

But these were just overt distributions of benefits, no one knew that the real biggest beneficiary at this time was calculating her fruits of victory in Hong Meng Heaven.

In the fragrant and babbling streams of Hong Meng Heaven.

Little Zhiyo could be seen sitting on a chest full of jewelry, with a bracelet around its neck, gemstone rings on its hands and feet, and even a sparkling red ruby affixed to its head.

Not far away, there were large quantities of gold and Silver Taels, along with some third and fourth-grade Elixir Pills, and some yellow-grade weapons.

Any of these items, by themselves, could fetch a good price in Li City, yet now they were piled up like mountains in Ye Lingyue’s Hong Meng Heaven.

For the average person, moving such a wealth of goods would require several hours and several people.

However, for Ye Lingyue, it was only a matter of moving some spiritual power, because she possessed the unparalleled Hong Meng Heaven.

That day, after Ye Lingyue entered the treasury, she first used her spiritual power to move everything in the treasury into Hong Meng Heaven, then, she moved out all the Xuantie Stones from Hong Meng Heaven.

To his death, Sha Kuang would never have imagined that his treasury was always on Ye Lingyue’s person.

However, even Ye Lingyue did not expect that the Mountain and Sea Gang would have so many possessions.

She spent almost half a month just sorting and classifying, and today, she finally finished calculating the total amount of wealth from the entire Mountain and Sea Gang’s treasury.

From Martial Arts Stone Carvings to Elixir and Weapons to gold and Silver Taels, and jewelry, this time, the total value of wealth Ye Lingyue casually took was about 150,000 taels of gold.

Seeing the final tally, Ye Lingyue’s eyes curved into a smile, brightening until they could hardly be seen.

In this way, she had officially advanced to being a little rich woman and should start thinking about how best to use this money.
