My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 166: The Nether Lord's Mission

In the vast palace, the black and white mist was still spreading.

All the ghosts’ voices rose high, and the people who were receiving the precepts were dumbfounded.

Everything they saw made them confused, frightened, and helpless.

The demon lord was still roaring madly, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the fate of being sacrificed.

At this time, Jiang Chen still stood there with his eyes closed, but his face twitched slightly.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and smiled at the ghost bride: "Thank you. By the way, I have some extra codes now. If you need them, I can give them to you."

The ghost bride smiled and shook her head.

She stroked Jiang Chen's face gently: "I feel your change, it's too risky. Your understanding of the rules is still too shallow, and the rules should not be used in this way. You are lucky this time, you may not be so lucky in the future."

Jiang Chen nodded seriously: "Yes, I remember it."

The disappearance of the 0 also made Jiang Chen tremble with fear. If he had been wrong just now, it would have been really troublesome.

The ghost bride smiled and said, "You still have some time to absorb the power of chaos."

Jiang Chen hummed, and no longer was polite. He silently operated the devouring power, trying his best to absorb the devouring power from the demon lord.

The two of them were happily digesting the Demon Lord, who was already roaring madly in despair:

"I curse you!"

"Curse you!"

Along with its wild cry, Jiang Chen felt that there seemed to be some inexplicable and strange aura on his body.

Is that a curse?
But why does this curse seem to be nothing more than this?

Before he could feel anything, the curse on him had already dissipated.

The ghost bride chuckled at him and said, "Curse is a strange field. A demon lord casts a curse on the netherworld lord. In your words, this is called showing off one's skills before an expert."

Uh……

Jiang Chen was also happy.

He asked with a smile: "Does he have any other tricks?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen felt a different breath again, as if something was surging in his body. Jiang Chen's chaotic power actually showed a tendency to run wild and crazy.

But the next moment, the power disappeared again.

The ghost bride covered her mouth and chuckled.

She said in a beautiful voice: "This idiot actually tried to activate its crazy and chaotic rules, but unfortunately you stole some of its rules. As a result, its body suffered a fatal blow... Well, after continuous setbacks, it has fallen from the rank of lord and is now just an insignificant demon commander."

"It sounds good." Jiang Chen was also happy.

As the saying goes, desperate people try anything, this former demon lord was really desperate.

The ghost bride shook her head gently: "Don't underestimate it. Losing its lord status also gives it more freedom. It has remembered you, and it may come to trouble you at any time. You should know that it is not in a distant space, and it is not that difficult for it to come here."

"But it's not that easy, is it? Otherwise it would just come over here, there's no need to do it this way."

The ghost bride shook her head again: "You know too little about this world. Many things are not what you think. You should learn to ask more questions. Sometimes it is more important to find the problem than to find the answer!"

She didn't say anything else, but just concentrated on presiding over the sacrifice.

The people who had received the precepts wanted to leave, but they found that the place had been completely blocked by black and white mist.

One of the ordained men tried to test it with his finger, but his finger suddenly melted into a piece of bone, which frightened him so much that he ran backwards madly.

They were locked in like this and could only wait quietly.

Time flies, and a day is over in the blink of an eye.

The demon lord's cries had obviously become much quieter, and his curses seemed weak, but it seemed that he was still persisting, but it was in vain.

The ghost bride finally broke the silence again.

She said: "How much chaos power have you absorbed?"

"Level 1." Jiang Chen replied.

He found that absorbing the power of chaos by devouring was not an easy task, and he could only absorb one level of power in one day.

Of course, it may also be because I have just started to devour.

The ghost bride said: "I have a task for you."

"You said."

"Convert some high-level lives for me and make them believe in me."

"Huh?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

The ghost bride's finger had already landed on Jiang Chen's brow.

boom!
Jiang Chen's mind buzzed.

The system prompts:

"Your Netherworld ability has been expanded." "You have mastered Netherworld Transformation, and can transform the creatures you kill into weird ones."

"You have received a test mission from the Nether Lord: The great Nether Lord wants to build her own land on this land, but she needs some capable subordinates. She has given this mission to you. Please try your best to recruit strong enough subordinates for her."

"Mission completed: Increase the number of summons of the Nether Lord."

"Mission failed: no penalty."

"Duration of mission: indefinite."

Uh……

Is this your test mission?
Jiang Chen looked at the ghost bride in astonishment: "How many are needed to meet the standard?"

The ghost bride smiled at him: "Is it important?"

Jiang Chen was also happy.

He shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

His relationship with the ghost bride has already surpassed the requirements of the task system, so it really doesn't matter how much weirdness it takes to meet the requirements.

As long as the Ghost Bride is happy, you can increase the number of summons by converting a level one small ghost. On the contrary, if she is unhappy, it will be useless even if you give her ten level ten fierce ghosts.

The only thing Jiang Chen didn't expect was that the ghost bride's purpose was to establish a territory here.

You are a lord, don’t you have any territory?
The ghost bride understood the look in his eyes.

She whispered, "The Weird Novice Area, that was originally my territory."

Uh……

So I have been dancing with the boss since the beginning!
"Then why..." Jiang Chen stopped talking midway.

He figured it out.

The reason why she stayed in the novice area was to curse the ghost.

Zhugui Wuying was protected by the rules, and even she, as a lord, could not take action against him. So over the years, she had been looking for someone who could help her kill Wuying.

Now that Wuying has completely disappeared, she has nothing to be nostalgic about, so she can leave.

But she couldn’t take away her subordinates from the novice area. In the new territory, she needed new subordinates.

Especially here is the land of chaos dominated by chaos and strange existences, life here will not be easy.

But she still chose here.

Is it because of yourself?
Jiang Chen did not ask this question, everything was implied.

The ghost bride said: "It will take two days for the sacrifice to be completely digested, but if you continue to absorb it, you may be promoted directly to level three..."

Jiang Chen's expression changed.

Oh no, this won’t do! I still have to go to the library!
The ghost bride said: "So let's stop here for this time. Go, continue your adventure, learn about this world, and I will take care of the rest. Remember to be careful during this period, you cannot summon me while I am presiding over the sacrifice."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask what you are trying to gain from the sacrifice? For example, followers?"

The ghost bride smiled slightly: "No, those are not what I need. I won't get any substantial benefits..."

As she spoke, she gently pressed her jade hand against Jiang Chen's chest.

boom!
The projection of the demon lord had completely left Jiang Chen's body, and Jiang Chen himself flew out of the hall involuntarily and came to the door full of light.

Not only him, but all the people who received the precepts were pushed out of the hall by an invisible force.

Outside the palace is an open garden full of flowers.

A straight road leads ahead, to nowhere.

The people who were receiving the precepts stood in the garden and looked back at the main hall. They saw that it was completely covered by a large cloud of black and white mist, and they could no longer see what was going on inside.

Bai Feifei looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment: "What on earth happened? Why is this mission so weird? Even the lord showed up?"

"It's nothing, I just got a friend to lend me a hand." Jiang Chen said casually.

Originally, the incident this time was that the Wild Flame Cult summoned the Demon Lord by sacrificing them, and then sacrificed the Demon Lord.

No matter how powerful the comers are, it actually has nothing to do with them. Their mission is to give a few lives to the other party and then run away. Once they run away, the mission is accomplished. What both sides are fighting for is just a few lives.

As a result, things kept changing. Jiang Chen received a special mission and obtained the qualification for active summoning. The 72-hour mission itself meant that the system supported them in doing so. Jiang Chen suspected that even if he was not there, other people who received the precepts might have a chance.

This forced the high priest to compete with him for contribution: his final transformation should be to strive for glory as much as possible under helplessness, like although the credit was taken away by you, I still have to work hard to take credit from the boss and try my best to get a share.

However, the arrival of the ghost bride changed everything. Not only could he not take credit for it, he even lost his life.

Although the matter was a serious one, fortunately it did not affect them.

This is the case with temporary event tasks. Unlike those well-designed tasks, they are bound to have various exceptions.

There were still many unclear questions, but Jiang Chen had no way of knowing the answers - the demon lord's memory was too chaotic, and it would take him a long time just to sort it out.

At this moment, he looked at the passage in the distance and said calmly, "Let's go and see what's behind."
