In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 276 Sin
Donghai City.

Nestled deep in the mountains, there is a sprawling estate, nestled amidst green hills and clear waters, appearing perfectly harmonious and as if created by nature itself.

Like a fairyland on earth.

But amidst these verdant mountains and clear waters, a scene that is far from beautiful exists.

"Dad! Mom! Wake up! It's me!"

Yang Guang carried his younger sister as they fled, constantly looking back and crying out in anguish.

"Roar!"

His response was a chilling roar.

Two emaciated monsters with bellies swollen like drums, their bloody mouths gaping open, their rows of saw-like teeth constantly clashing together, making a clattering sound.

They showed no affection for their son whatsoever; their only concern was their desire to eat.

Although hungry ghosts have strange shapes, they move extremely fast.

Driven by their hunger, the two hungry ghosts, like ferocious beasts, rapidly closed the distance between themselves and Yang Guang, who was fleeing ahead.

"Roar!"

One of the hungry ghosts, who looked like a woman, suddenly leaped up, using the mountain wall as leverage, and jumped directly behind Yang Guang.

With a roar, he was tackled to the ground.

"what!"

As Yang Guang fell in pain, he reacted quickly, throwing his younger sister, whom he was holding, away with all his might.

"Sister! Run!"

His sister looked to be only six or seven years old, and her figure was just a tiny little ball.

After being thrown out, she landed on the ground and immediately burst into tears from the pain.

She was holding a pet pig in her arms when she rolled out.

"Roar!"

Another hungry ghost pounced quickly, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed him whole.

"Do not--!"

Yang Guang witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and his pupils bulged open in an instant, with blood spilling from the corners of his eyes.

"Roar!"

His mother, transformed into a hungry ghost, had already taken a bite.

He had cultivated himself, and instinctively reached out to block, only to have his arm bitten.

With a snap, his arm was bitten off at the elbow.

The hungry ghost, having food in its mouth, began to chew, and instead of continuing to gnaw at him, it stopped.

"Do not……"

He had lost all desire to escape.

He lay prostrate on the ground, blood and tears streaming from his eyes, yet he was completely listless and lifeless, filled with death.

Not far from here, many similar scenes are happening.

They were all abducted here and turned into monsters that only knew how to eat. Then, family, lovers, friends... devoured and tore at each other...

the other side.

Inside a building, one wall is entirely made of huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing people inside to have an unobstructed view of the outside world.

The people sitting here are all dressed in fine clothes, meticulous in every detail.

"It's so boring."

A person with a lazy expression, slumped on the sofa, yawned.

"It's more interesting to watch 'Battle Royale' in the city. This godforsaken place has hardly anyone around, and it makes me want to sleep."

"Those meddlesome guys at the Environmental Protection Bureau ruined my mood. But speaking of which, it's quite capable of the Environmental Protection Bureau in such a small, remote place as Leizhou to have resolved that area in such a short time."

Someone laughed and said, "The Environmental Protection Bureau is Young Master Jin's territory, so it's not simple. You'd better watch your words and not upset Young Master Jin."

Everyone smiled and looked towards the center.

A person dressed in a long robe, gleaming with gold and adorned with various gemstones, dazzlingly beautiful.

Despite being entirely golden and adorned with jewels, it didn't give off a single hint of vulgarity or ostentation.

Just sitting casually on the sofa, he exuded an air of unparalleled luxury, as if he were born noble.

This person is none other than Jin Yuxiang.

When Jin Yuxiang saw everyone teasing him, he just pursed his lips.

By this time, someone had already become his mouthpiece: "What do you know? You people only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. How could you know that our young master Jin is not just playing around?"

"Oh? What's going on?"

The young masters from prominent families all became interested.

The man laughed and said, "These hungry ghosts are treasures that Young Master Jin discovered in the Great Zhou Domain."

“Those lowly beggars only see cultivation techniques and treasures, but they don’t know what the real treasures of this realm are.”

The term "beggar" was a derogatory term used by these scions of noble families to refer to ordinary practitioners.

This is also a "borrowed word" from ancient times.

Originally, it referred to beggars who made a living by begging.

To these scions of noble families, those of humble origin who dreamed of cultivating themselves into immortals were nothing more than a group of beggars!
A beggar begging from the federal government, begging to share food from their bowls!
Simply saying "beggar" is a bit too direct and not conducive to harmony and unity, so it was somewhat concealed, hence the name "beggar."

"These hungry ghosts belong to... the lower three of the Six Paths. Although they are called the lower three, it doesn't refer to their strength," "In terms of strength, they are only below the Heavenly Path, Asura, and Hell, and should indeed be ranked fourth."

"Let's not even talk about the Heavenly Path Asura. According to those grandmasters and mages, these two paths are almost like immortals, comparable to grandmasters and mages, and even not much different from the Hell Path."

"This hungry ghost is only inferior to him; one can imagine how strong he is."

"Especially since this thing has no emotions whatsoever, and of the six desires, only the desire for food and drink remains,"

"Fearless and carefree, with a fierce killing intent, and impervious to swords and blades, and also unafraid of ordinary mental forces, if it appeared on the battlefield of the dead or in the Thirty-Six Heavens, wouldn't it be the most perfect killing machine?"

"Yup!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

If there are enough of them, this would be the perfect cannon fodder army!
"However, this is only a legendary being after all. Transforming it into a being that is half matter and half legend is not so easy,"

"Young Master Jin is conducting an experiment. If it succeeds, the Jin family's influence in the Thirty-Six Heavens and the Death Domain Battlefield will likely increase significantly!"

Everyone then realized what was happening, and they were filled with surprise, joy, and envy.

What amazes me is that Jin Yuxiang is a young man who quietly accomplishes great things.

What's good is that he, surnamed Jin, did this; why can't they do it?

"Heh, don't even think about it. Since I let you know, do you think I wouldn't be wary of your kind of behavior?"

Jin Yuxiang smiled wryly: "The method to transform hungry ghosts is something only I know in this world right now."

If he wasn't absolutely certain, why would he let anyone know this information?
"Ok?"

Someone realized what was happening: "Brother Jin, I heard the Bai family has been wiped out, could it be you...?"

"Besides Brother Jin, who else could get four cities to cooperate in law enforcement in such a short time?"

"The Bai family is a local power in the East China Sea, with deeply entrenched influence. It's not that easy to take them down."

"Could it be that ordinary people could act so decisively and swiftly, cooperating so seamlessly among the four cities?"

"It's laughable that fatso from Leizhou thinks he's all that good. If Brother Jin hadn't kept a low profile and used him as a pawn, that fatso would have been finished long ago."

"Wow~ Brother Jin, what a skillful move!"

"Tsk, as expected of you!"

Amidst the praise, Jin Yuxiang revealed a slight smile.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in. He carefully approached him, knelt down, looked around, and then looked at Jin Yuxiang.

Jin Yuxiang waved his hand: "Speak, we're all on the same side."

This person then said respectfully:
"Young Master, the person has been captured. The tailor is already collecting Xie family blood. We just need to wait for the right time to succeed."

"When the time comes? How much longer?"

Jin Yuxiang frowned slightly.

The subordinate bowed his head and said, "The tailor said that to trace the lineage, we need to extract the blood essence of a hundred members of the Xie family, refine it, soak a hundred pieces of cloth in the essence, bury them in the Xie family's ancestral grave, and only after seven days can they be taken out and pieced together to form a patchwork amulet."

"Only with this hundred-sleeved curse robe can one cast curse spells and kill that person."

Everyone in the room was startled.

He wondered who it was that had provoked Jin Yuxiang to resort to such complicated methods to deal with them.
They didn't find such methods malicious.

If an ordinary person were to truly offend him, the consequences would likely be a hundred times worse than this.

But it certainly won't be that complicated; if you want to torture someone, just arrest them.

"The tailor?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Is that the tailor who can kill without a trace, who is known for her seven-day curse, burying paper figures in graves, and causing the extinction of her family line?"

Jin Yuxiang nodded: "That's right."

"Hiss~ This old woman may only be a titled rank, but her methods are strange and she's extremely difficult to deal with. The Federation has been hunting her for years without success, and has instead lost many lives."

"She's actually been won over by Brother Jin?!"

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Jin Yuxiang felt a little smug.

"Brother Jin, who could possibly make you go to such lengths?"

Someone raised a question.

Jin Yuxiang's smug face immediately darkened.

"Hmph, what an arrogant, ignorant, and despicable wretch!"

Tsk, it seems this person really is hated by Jin Yuxiang.

It's rare for me to go to such lengths and use so many adjectives.

They were also more curious about who could have angered Jin Yuxiang so much.

They knew very well that unless someone had some skill and caused significant damage to Jin Yuxiang, it would be impossible for him to be so angry.

In their view, even hatred, given their status, should be considered a blessing by ordinary people!
How many people deserve their hatred?

Jin Yuxiang waved his hand: "Alright, go tell the tailor to hurry up. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not covering for her. The Federation has never given up on hunting her down!"

The subordinate bowed his head in response before carefully getting up and leaving.

Seeing this, everyone knew he didn't want to talk about it, so they stopped asking and turned to the "Battle Royale" game outside.

Someone said, "Brother Jin, could you give these hungry ghosts to us two?"

"Don't worry, I won't compete with you, Brother Jin. But as you know, my family has done some research on these legendary creatures. If we make any progress, we'll definitely share it with you!"

These words immediately enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone began to discuss the ownership of the "people" below.

Calling these "people" commodities is an overstatement; they're probably just mice in a laboratory, worse than pigs or dogs.
