Chapter 332 The Ghost Emperor's Pact! Even the Dead Need to Be Taken Care Of.
The bonfire flickered.

Duncan could not possibly be a ghost; on the contrary, he was a pure yang body, and everyone who used him praised him.

He stared at the eerie woman before him and said in a deep voice, "You possess the Undying Body of the Heavenly Demon of Righteous Law?"

There must be a reason why the other party suddenly appeared.

Duncan didn't believe that this strange woman had followed him for so long for no reason, and then suddenly appeared at this moment just to point out that there was something wrong with his technique.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

As expected, Ji Shaojiang nodded slowly, his voice deep and resonant: "Yes."

"I can not only pass on to you the ancient orthodox method of the Heavenly Demon's Immortal Body."

"I can also teach you the true Heavenly Demon Technique!"

"But you must also help me with something."

Upon hearing this, Duncan's expression turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Ji Shaojiang stared at Duncan before her and said softly, "I am now a ghost, neither human nor ghost. I cannot stay in the human world, nor can I enter the underworld. I can only feed on essence and blood to maintain my life."

"I want you to help me become a god!"

That's it?

Duncan thought it was something serious.

He had previous experience helping people become gods, and since the difficulty of bestowing titles of gods was lower in the Eastern plane, where even human emperors could confer titles of gods, this matter was almost no challenge for him.

Ji Shaojiang was somewhat surprised by Duncan's "that's all" expression, and said with a very serious expression, "I am a ghost, and cannot become a true god of the Heavenly Court."

"If you are willing to help me become a god, you can only find a divine position in the Nine Netherworld."

understood.

You want to join the Death God system, right?

Among the many pantheons, the Death Pantheon is indeed a good one. Duncan ascended to godhood through killing and has a good relationship with the Death Pantheon, after all, he is a professional at boosting the performance of the God of Death.

The underworld of this world has been turned into a chaotic mess by Buddhism, and Duncan encountered many lonely ghosts left behind in the human world along the way.

Since the underworld and the Ten Kings of Hell can't manage it all, he doesn't mind intervening.

To put it bluntly, this eerie woman was offering two supreme secret techniques passed down from ancient times in exchange for Duncan's help in securing a divine position within the pantheon of death gods. Eastern deities are expected to perform important duties; many divine positions are essentially jobs, and if you don't take them, plenty of others will.

Investiture of the Gods.

This matter can be difficult in some ways, and easy in others.

An ordinary person could never meet her demands, but Duncan could, and he could do it very well. He was very familiar with the process and could do it with ease. It was just a matter of changing the position and doing it again.

He nodded seriously and asked, "What divine position?"

"The level of Yama?"

"Is it still the status of the Eastern Peak Emperor?"

"If it is the latter, it is indeed very troublesome. After all, you have no achievements in the human world, and mortals may not be convinced of your abilities."

Forget about Heaven and Earth.

Even if the strange woman before them were to forcibly elevate her status, she could not possibly reach the level of Houtu.

The Eastern Peak Emperor also holds a very high position.

With Duncan's current strength and the foundation he has in this world, he can at most reach the level of the Five Ghost Emperors.

Upon hearing Duncan's words, Ji Shaojiang was stunned. She stared at the man in front of her in astonishment, as if looking up at something. After a long silence, she cautiously said, "The rank of a judge in the underworld will be fine."

"The position of Yin Spirit is enough for me to stabilize my physical form."

That's it?

Duncan wondered what it was!

If it's merely the rank of a judge, then it's only a high-level otherworldly divine messenger or higher, roughly close to the rank of a demigod. However, the Eastern plane is different from the Western system, so it might also reach the level of a weak god.

Duncan immediately agreed, saying slowly, "If it's just the rank of a judge."

"I will ensure your ascension to the position."

"If you can subdue ghosts and monsters, even if you are the Five Ghost Emperors, I can help you ascend to the throne."

Ji Shaojiang stared intently at Duncan before her, then glanced at Lai Bao'er beside her. She knew something about Duncan's oath to break through to the Dao Realm, so she understood that this man valued his promises very much. Therefore, she bowed and said, "If it is just an ordinary ghost, I can kill it at will."

"But if one has the status of a Yin spirit."

"I'm afraid I'll be restrained by it and may not be able to gain the upper hand."

We can still fight.

If she were to fight to the death, she could even fight to the death against ghosts and gods in the underworld.

However, the body of a ghost is indeed restrained by the underworld.

That means you have the ability to slay demons.

Duncan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "If that's the case, I can help you glimpse the position of a Ghost Emperor."

"But you'll have to follow my instructions from now on."

Duncan agreed to three things for Lai Bao'er as a promise made by a child, a vow made by a child, thus establishing a vow to enter the Dao realm.

He wanted peace in the world, so he wanted to govern both the human realm and the underworld.

This world is in utter chaos, with warlords ruling in various regions. Duncan is going to collect their heads. From the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period to the present day, from the Huang Chao Rebellion to the birth of the Song Dynasty, nearly a hundred years have passed. Countless people have died unjustly in the Central Plains, and wandering ghosts can be seen everywhere. There are also many ferocious and evil spirits, not to mention man-eating monsters and so on.

Duncan will take them all down!
Otherwise, why not leave a large group of ghosts and monsters in the human world and have everyone play A Chinese Ghost Story together?

If you're going to kill, kill them all.

Living people must be killed.

Even the dead must be killed.

Duncan originally had other plans. Lu Shanjun was a tiger in human form, possessing the rank of a mountain king, and could also slay ghosts and monsters. However, since this strange woman had taken the initiative to approach him, Lu Shanjun could do something else.

He actually intended to elevate Lu Shan Jun to the position of the Western God, one of the Four Symbols, the White Tiger.

It all depends on whether Lu Shanjun himself has this idea.

The positions of deities in the East are constantly changing. If Lu Shan Jun is elevated to the position of the White Tiger of the Four Symbols, then the corresponding position of the Tiger will be vacant.

Duncan roughly knew who his potential enemies were.

If he is to devote himself fully to this task, then he must consider one thing: finding a group of people to replace the positions in Heaven.

Is there anyone who dares to replace God in this world?
Can't he even plan a team for the Heavenly Court?

The campfire suddenly turned into a ghostly flame.

Ji Shaojiang couldn't help but move a little closer, then slowly retreated. She stared at Duncan in front of her, seemingly deep in thought, before finally saying, "I can help you, but I am not your servant."

"Is it possible?"

After all, it is a six-star silver-gray marked unit. Although its strength fluctuates, it is still a top expert in the Dao Realm.

This is not too much to ask for.

Duncan nodded and said, "Okay."

The eerie woman stared into Duncan's eyes and continued, "I don't like to be close to strangers. If I serve you, I will come and go as I please, without any constraints, and will only obey your orders."

"Is it possible?"

This request isn't unreasonable.

Duncan nodded again and said, "Okay."

Ji Shaojiang seemed to be somewhat tempted. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "If I attain the position of Ghost Emperor in the future, I will regain my freedom."

"Is it possible?"

Duncan immediately approved, saying, "No problem."

Why does he bother with so many people?
The so-called Great Freedom Demon Lord is someone who has the ability to overturn the table at any time. It doesn't necessarily mean that he has to manage so many things and so many people. He can just relax and enjoy himself when he has nothing to do, playing music and dancing. Isn't that great?
Duncan's idea of ​​promoting others was simply to give them more responsibility so he could slack off and enjoy himself.

A promise worth a thousand dollars.

Ji Shaojiang gazed intently at Duncan before her with her deep eyes, then respectfully knelt down in the kneeling ceremony of the Spring and Autumn Period, quite different from the etiquette of the present day. She gracefully bowed and said, "My lord." This title reminded Duncan of the Three Kingdoms period.

He stepped forward and helped the alluring woman to her feet. Looking into her deep, mysterious eyes, he was momentarily captivated by her stunning beauty. He paused for a moment before helping her up.

If Duncan hadn't once been the King of Kings and had seen countless beauties, he probably would have remained infatuated for a while longer.

"It's somewhat like the alluring beauty of a Western succubus."

Duncan reached out and touched Ji Shaojiang's body. It was as cold as ice, without any warmth of a living person. The aura of Yin was extremely heavy, but it was not the Taiyin True Qi of the Jade-Faced Lady. Instead, it was another kind of more bizarre power.

Just by being near her, Duncan had the illusion that a trace of his yang energy was being absorbed.

Fortunately, he had plenty of yang energy and wasn't afraid at all.

physical contact.

Ji Shaojiang, standing before him, actually moved her throat slightly, as if swallowing saliva. Her eyes were filled with lust as she looked at Duncan. The next second, she regained her senses, hurriedly stood up, and instantly flashed away several feet away like a ghost. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "My lord, you should not touch me lightly."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control my craving for semen."

Huh?
Duncan glanced at the eerie woman's deep eyes, then at his own arm, and asked, "Do you feed on blood?"

Ji Shaojiang nodded slowly, her eyes unreadable.

Duncan continued, "So where did you get your food from during this time?"

Ji Shaojiang lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Hunting and killing along the way."

"They may be martial arts practitioners, military experts, or ferocious beasts and demons."

Duncan calmly asked, "Have you been hunting innocent civilians?"

Ji Shaojiang remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Since I woke up until now."

"Never."

"But I don't remember much about the past."

No lies.

However, there are too many monsters in this world that kill and eat people, so it's not surprising that there are.

Duncan shook his head and sighed, "Then you should stop feeding on innocent people. If you want to become a Ghost Emperor, you can't be tainted by too much karma."

Ji Shaojiang bowed again and said, "Yes, sir."

Duncan asked, "What would you do if you didn't consume essence and blood?"

Ji Shaojiang said quietly, "He's gone mad."

"As if possessed by a demon."

This gets a little tricky.

Duncan pondered for a moment and asked, "You want to drink my blood?"

Ji Shaojiang suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at him, as if she had guessed something. She slowly nodded and said, "Yes."

I not only wanted to suck it, I was practically drooling over it.

If it weren't for her rational thinking that teaming up with Duncan was the best solution, she probably would have already made the move.

Duncan simply rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand, and said, "Come on."

Ji Shaojiang looked at the man in front of her with a hesitant expression and said softly, "If I were to absorb your essence blood, you would probably suffer a great loss of vitality."

Duncan said calmly, "It's nothing."

"If you truly damage my vital essence, I will defeat you."

Now that he has half-stepped into the Dao, he is confident that he can suppress a ghost.

The stunningly beautiful woman's throat bobbed slightly. She looked up at Duncan's expression, then down at his outstretched arm, her expression hesitant.

Duncan said again, "Come on."

"Since you are willing to serve me, how could I be reluctant to part with even a drop of my life essence?"

Learn about the generosity of the King of Kings.

Although the Blood God Technique of the Demonic Sect has been modified into a mess, its effect of refining essence blood is still very strong, and Duncan has his own way of restoring his vitality.

Ji Shaojiang finally made a move. A cold glint appeared on her crimson lips, like sharp canine teeth. She bit down on Duncan's arm with a thirsty urge, and blood flowed out. Not a single drop was wasted. She stuck out her tongue and greedily sucked. As Duncan's essence was absorbed, the woman's appearance changed, and she transformed back into the appearance of a young woman.

"It's kind of like a vampire."

Duncan observed the opponent's marking status, and would immediately make his move once the marking turned red.

But no, instead she gradually transformed into a light green friendly symbol.

The life bar keeps decreasing, dropping bit by bit.

The True Essence bar is also decreasing, but the rate of consumption is not significant.

When the beautiful woman in front of him raised her head, Duncan checked his own condition. His health bar had dropped by a third, and his mana bar by a fifth, which was well within his acceptable range.

That's it?

You're full after just a little bit?
Ji Shaojiang looked extremely surprised. The essence blood she had just absorbed was enough to sustain her for a while.

Normally, if one wants a full meal, one would need at least a master at the Innate Realm as food. But looking at Duncan, he seemed completely unfazed, as if to say, "If you're not full, you can take another bite."

This man's essence is far too abundant.

The most barbarian of all.

Not much else, but they all have high health bars; none of Duncan's human forms have poor physical abilities.

He looked at the wound and noticed a fatigue status effect. It wasn't a big deal; which barbarian wouldn't feel fatigued after going berserk?

"It's not a big problem."

"Just think of it as raising an oriental vampire."

Duncan activated the Everlasting Youth Technique, and his life bar began to slowly recover. His wounds also healed rapidly. The true energy of the withered tree's glory could heal injuries and transform the true essence bar into a life bar.

Ji Shaojiang looked at the man before her and bowed gracefully once more, saying, "Thank you for bestowing blood upon me, my lord."

Duncan nodded calmly, surprised by her change in appearance and more concerned with resisting the special ability that resembled a bewitching beauty. He said indifferently, "Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"I have made a vow to be born into this world and bring peace to the world."

"If you act recklessly..."

"I have to kill you too."

"If you want to absorb essence blood in the future, just come to me. You don't need to kneel down all the time."

"I don't like people kneeling before me."

When he was the King of Kings in the West, he disliked people kneeling before him, and he disliked it even more when he came to the East.

Just stand up, bow, and give a greeting.

Unless it's a grand occasion, there's absolutely no need to perform the kneeling ceremony.

Ji Shaojiang bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

Duncan looked up at the moonlight, then suddenly rose into the air. Birds in the distance were startled and soon a shrill scream rang out before abruptly ceasing.

Killing a few bandits on the road is a good way to restore my health bar.

When Duncan returned, he was at his peak, with all his health and mana restored, and even the fatigue effect had disappeared.

This is indeed the divine power of an extraterrestrial demon.

However, unlike his ability to seize cultivation and power, this extraterrestrial demon's ability is more like restoring its state through slaughter.

He now understood why his progress in cultivating demonic arts had been so rapid.

Back when I was in Dangshan.

Duncan once stole a kill from a demon elder who had been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon.

The cause and effect involved are truly mysterious, as if even God was helping him.
