Chapter 367 I'll put up a trillion
“Every race wants to exploit them; who will seek their well-being?”

Yi Ersan watched as Liu Chengfeng collected 30 million from each shadow puppeteer, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

"The universe is countless, and ants are innumerable. Can you save and bless all the ants?"

In the divine kingdom of Heaven, the skinned woman sneers.

“I never intended to save or bless all ants, but accumulating small acts of kindness is a sign of humanity. If you act as a god for too long, you lose even your humanity.”

Liu Chengfeng sneered.

The skinned woman remained silent, filled with resentment.

All the shadow puppeteers bowed their heads, facing the city wall, and prayed together.

They whispered prayers, their bodies emanating wisps of ghostly energy that gathered together like a babbling brook flowing into the incense burner.

Seeing this, Ying Tong and the others held their breath; success or failure hinged on this moment.

At first, the furnace remained still. The more the nether energy gathered, the more it began to shake. However, a force tried to suppress it, not wanting it to resonate.

The shadow puppeteers prayed incessantly, and the ghostly energy grew stronger and stronger. The furnace could no longer contain it, and finally, it began to vibrate and resound incessantly.

"It's coming—"

Everyone was thrilled. They had spent a fortune to finally witness this moment, and it was all worth it.

Finally, with a "hum," a halo appeared and runes emerged. In a corner of the city, a halo also rose, and runes appeared, carrying a ghostly aura.

“The magistrate is right there.”

Everyone perked up, and Tong Ying rushed over instantly.

"Go see the city magistrate."

All the gods, unwilling to be outdone, rushed toward the place where the halo appeared.

"It was indeed hidden here."

Yi Ersan looked at the Netherworld Qi and muttered to himself.

"So you know now."

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him.

"I don't know, it's just a guess. But guessing is useless. Without the resonance of prayer, no one can find him."

Yi Ersan gave a dry laugh.

Without saying much, Liu Chengfeng led everyone towards the location of the city envoy.

In a corner of the city, there was a small courtyard. At this moment, there was an old man in the courtyard, looking at the gods with his head hunched over and his hands tucked into his sleeves, timid and hesitant.

"I don't know what a 'God's Envoy' is. I'm just an old man. Take whatever you want, just don't kill me."

The old man was intimidated by Ying Tong and his group's imposing presence and trembled with fear.

"We have no other intention than to trade with the God of the Underworld for a road pass to the Sea of ​​the Dead."

Even though the old man was trembling, Ying Tong and the others didn't dare to act rashly.

They didn't know the true identity of the City God; it was the head of the Shedding Skin Clan who told them.

They were instructed to buy a road sign to the underworld from the messenger.

"What Underworld Sea? I've never heard of it."

The old man trembled.

No matter what Ying Tong and the others said, the old man refused to admit it.

"If you don't show yourself, I'll make all the shadow puppeteers bow to you again."

Liu Chengfeng arrived, looked at the old man, and sneered.

The old man's expression immediately hardened as he stared at Liu Chengfeng.

As the smoke rose, he revealed his true form, wearing an official hat and robe, his entire body shrouded in smoke, like a deity worshipped in the city.

"It's the City God—"

Ying Tong and the others were secretly surprised; it really was the City God.

"who are you?"

The envoy stared at Liu Chengfeng.

"For those who want to buy talismans, I also offer fair trade."

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly.

The envoy remained silent, staring at them all.

"You've been here quite a while now, haven't you? Do you still have any spirit stones left? How long can they last?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at the city envoy with a smile.

The magistrate's face darkened.

He doesn't belong to this world. Even though the Peeling Realm is special enough to allow him to stay here, he still needs to consume spirit stones to maintain his existence.

He can't go back for the time being. If he runs out of spirit stones, it will be difficult for him to stay.

"Alright, I have a signpost here that leads to the Underworld Sea. Whether you can enter the Underworld Sea depends on your own abilities."

The envoy admitted it.

"Please, Your Majesty, sell us the road sign. Name your price."

Ying Tong couldn't wait.

"One billion, starting bid."

The emperor was decisive.

"I'll offer 1.1 billion."

Bai Huojing gritted his teeth and made the first offer.

Ying Tong's eyes turned cold as he glared at the Fire Worship Realm.

"The city magistrate's intention is that the highest bidder wins."

"1.5 billion—"

Ying Tong snorted coldly.

"Six billion."

The Fire Worship Realm lacked the strength to do so, so they enlisted the help of the Divine Tree Realm.

Shadow Eyes' gaze can kill.

“Grand Ancestor, we just gave you all our help, we have no intention of being enemies.”

The Fire Worship Realm expresses its will; it's a signpost leading to the Underworld Sea—who wouldn't want that?

"Young Master, let me take the picture for you."

Before Xiao Zhuofan and his team even made an offer, Yi Ersan had already shown interest.

"Our young master will contribute three billion—"

Yi Ersan wanted to buy out all the underworld tokens in one go.

The Fire Worshipers were dumbfounded; they couldn't afford that price.

"Thirty-five—"

Ying Tong gritted her teeth and decided to go all out.

"forty."

Yi Ersan is incredibly wealthy; he really does have a lot of money.

To Jiang Ziyan and the others' surprise, where did this human trafficker get so much money?

"you--"

Ying Tong and the others' expressions changed, and they glared angrily at Yi Ersan.

"Gentlemen, the highest bidder wins. If you disagree, you can offer an even higher price."

Yi Ersan had a big smile on his face.

Ying Tong and his group couldn't come up with that much money, so they immediately sent the Golden Saint Lord to ask for instructions.

"Fifty billion—"

With the support of powerful figures behind them, Ying Tong and his team were confident and offered high prices.

Fifty-five.

Additional item 23.

"eighty--"

Ying Tong's eyes flashed with anger, and he offered a high price.

"Sir, is this how you bid?"

Yi Ersan's expression changed as his stock was dumped.

"If you can't afford the price, then get out."

The Golden Saint Lord sneered; they had powerful figures backing them and were very wealthy.

"My Lord God, I need to save some money for food."

Yi Ersan had a bitter face.

Liu Chengfeng waved his hand lightly, signaling Yi Ersan to step back.

"I'm taking the ghost talisman."

Liu Chengfeng didn't even glance at Ying Tong and the others, but looked at the envoy.

"We're offering the highest price now, what do you have to offer in return?"

Empress Longhai also sneered, harboring deep hatred for Liu Chengfeng.

"What's the highest price you can offer?" Liu Chengfeng glanced at them coldly.

"Ten billion? No problem!"

Ying Tong gave a cold laugh.

"Then I'll offer a trillion."

Liu Chengfeng chuckled.

"Trillion—"

An uproar erupted as everyone stared at Liu Chengfeng.

"Impossible, no one can come up with a trillion."

No one believed that Liu Chengfeng had that kind of money.

"A trillion, do you know what that means?"

Ying Tong sneered.

Even with the combined forces of Buyoutian, Huangjintian, and Tuopirenzongfu behind them, it's impossible for them to come up with this money!
"do not know."

Liu Chengfeng smiled and shook his head.

"You can come up with a trillion?"

Empress Longhai didn't believe it, and nobody believed it. Of the twelve heavens of the Mad Dragon, probably no one could pull out a trillion.

"No."

Liu Chengfeng is honest.

"If you can't produce it, get out of here. The Underworld Token is ours."

The Golden Lord roared.

"Unfortunately, I'm determined to have the Underworld Token."

Liu Chengfeng said slowly.

What are you going to offer in return?

Ying Tong coldly stared at Liu Chengfeng.

"this."

Liu Chengfeng took out a treasure bottle, which emitted golden light.

"This is--"

"Isn't this the golden jewels that the skinner obtained?"

Upon seeing the vase, someone recognized it.

This bottle of golden brilliance was given to Liu Chengfeng by the Skinning King.

"I'll trade you this for a road sign."

The envoy's eyes lit up immediately.

“Your Majesty, we can offer a higher price.”

Ying Tong immediately panicked.

"Spirit stones are not as useful as this."

The envoy refused, his eyes fixed on the treasure bottle in Liu Chengfeng's hand.

"Bring me the road sign."

Liu Chengfeng pushed the precious bottle over.

The envoy made a grabbing motion in the air, and runes appeared, solidifying into an ancient spirit tablet.

"The Road to the Underworld" sign

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they stared intently at the road sign.

"With this card, you can embark on the path to the Underworld, but there is no guarantee that you can open the Underworld; that depends on your ability."

The envoy should explain this in advance.

"This is my business."

Liu Chengfeng accepted the Underworld Road Token.

Can you handle it?

At this moment, Ying Tong and his men's eyes flashed with a fierce light, they were terrifying, and they were just short of rushing up to seize the Netherworld Road Token.

"What, trying to rob me?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered.

"What do you think?"

Shadow Eye's figure was so enormous it was terrifying, as if it would crush the entire world.

"Get out-"

The magistrate's face darkened, and smoke billowed across the sky and earth.

Ying Tong and the others were terrified and dared not linger. They turned and fled, but were still overturned and thrown millions of miles away.

"Okay, it's time for me to go."

The envoy turned to leave, intending to change his identity and hide.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you afraid of being hunted down?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at him slowly.

The magistrate's expression changed, and he stared at Liu Chengfeng.

"Tell me what happened in Huangcheng."

Liu Chengfeng asked the city magistrate.

The magistrate snorted coldly, unwilling to speak.

"I'm not discussing this with you."

Liu Chengfeng sneered, staring at the palace eunuch.

"How dare you! Do you even know what I am?"

The envoy's eyes flashed with a fierce light, his imposing aura overwhelming Xiao Zhuofan and the others, who were so frightened that they could barely stand and were suppressed by him.

"I've always been bold, don't you think? Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes flashed with fierce light, and flames erupted from them.

Upon seeing the blazing flames, the city magistrate's expression changed drastically, and he took several steps back.

Are you willing to talk about it now?

Liu Chengfeng gave a cold laugh.

The envoy glanced at the people around Liu Chengfeng.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Yi Ersan, being sensible, turned around and left.

Jiang Ziyan and the others also left and returned to the camp.

There was an old man named Uncle.

After Yi Ersan and the others left, the city envoy slumped down, as if deflated, his previous divine might gone.

"Uncle?"

Liu Chengfeng frowned.

“We don’t know him at all. He barged in on his own. He didn’t take the path to the underworld. He didn’t come from our universe. We don’t know how he got to our City of Gods.”

"He called himself Uncle."

The thought of the accident sent chills down his spine and made him shudder.

"Just to kill you?"

Liu Chengfeng found it strange.

"No, he wants to see the Book of the Dead."

"Looking at the Book of the Dead, what are you looking for?"

Liu Chengfeng was surprised.

"I don't know. The Book of Accumulated Souls, which we also call the Book of Cause and Effect, generally only records ghosts without skin and shadow puppets. Occasionally, foreigners will enter the book on their own."

"However, the Book of Accumulated Deaths is not shown to outsiders except for ourselves."

"So, he killed you?"

Liu Chengfeng looked at the city envoy.

"When Lord Huangcheng said no, he raised his hand and killed everyone. I... I was lucky enough to get out and escaped."

"Without even a single move, Lord Huangcheng and all of them were wiped out."

The emperor trembled at the thought of this scene.

He was terrified and fled to the shadow puppet kingdom through a dark path.

Fearing being hunted down, he peeled off his own skin, replaced it with other skin, and disguised himself as a shadow puppet.

"Not even one move."

Liu Chengfeng was astonished. What kind of existence was this old man?

"Are there any differences in your Book of the Dead?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious.
