I am Jinshan Youxia

Before their conspiracy even succeeded, they had already devised a plan to instigate internal strife.

Humans are like this, and ghosts are much the same.

They avoided discussing topics they shouldn't have, and then spent some time discussing how to implement the plan.

"The Great King has arrived." The strongest Taoist ghost's expression changed, and he stood up respectfully, with the other ghosts following suit and standing on either side.

"How's your research going?"

Zhang Chengyi gracefully glided into the hall, and the wind he brought in alone caused the seemingly sturdy pillars to shrivel.

The girl in red who was nearby quickly opened her mouth and blew out a wisp of yin energy, which fixed the pillar back in place.

“Your Majesty,” the old man who usually dealt with zombies stepped forward, taking the lead, and said, “We have found out that the underworld is very likely falling into the mortal world under the influence of the power of gods and Buddhas, which is why so many anomalies have occurred. We have also come up with a rough solution.”

[Is it related to the power of gods and Buddhas? Could it be a contingency plan left behind by the gods and Buddhas?]

Zhang Chengyi thought about it briefly, not paying much attention, as it was within his expectations, and said, "Tell me how to solve it."

The old man humbly bowed as he explained the initial draft of the plan.

The general idea is to find a powerful enough ghost to go to the mortal realm and work with the City God and other spirits to set up rituals and formations. Then, set up a counter-formation near the underworld in the netherworld. By taking advantage of the solar eclipse, when yin and yang meet, the collision damage between the mortal and the living world can be minimized, and the power left behind by the gods and Buddhas of the netherworld can also be broken.

Kill two birds with one stone.

However, the key element of the formation in the mortal realm must be a powerful ghost, while the key element in the underworld must be a life form with abundant vitality, in order to relieve the pressure of the clash between yin and yang and prevent the underworld from further breaking down.

The key to the formation in the mortal realm can be a ghost that seeks help from the City God or other spirits in the mortal realm, while the key to the formation in the underworld can be a Japanese monster that has mistakenly entered the underworld.

After listening to the plan, Zhang Chengyi nodded in satisfaction and said, "It sounds like there are no problems." He had absolutely no idea about formations or rituals in this world.

The main god's light sphere body, which is most likely to come into contact with all kinds of knowledge, is actually proficient in knowledge unique to Infinite Terror. The knowledge with the same name in other worlds does not even match the basic logic and is completely irrelevant.

In other worlds, 95% of his body is that of an invincible brute who relies on stat boosts and cheat codes. His extremely sharp mind tells him that brute force can solve everything.

Now someone proposed a plan that seemed feasible. His wisdom was only momentarily stirred before he relayed the message: "Go and report to Xiaoqian. If there are no other problems, proceed with it."

The old ghosts were so obedient in the past, their loyalty was beyond question, and he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it.

Moreover, his body has undergone several evolutions, and under the repeated tempering of heavenly lightning and corpse energy, its hardness has reached a level that is theoretically impossible for zombies in this world to achieve. Even if he bombards himself, he cannot be hurt by a single hair.

Coupled with the terrifying regeneration effect that grants eternal life, there's simply no way to kill oneself, so there's nothing to fear.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The old man responded humbly as always, then bowed and left the side hall.

The other old ghosts stood on either side, waiting for the king to speak.

Seeing that the matter was resolved so easily, Zhang Chengyi waved his hand with a relaxed expression and said, "Alright, that's settled then. I'll be going now." With that, he exhaled the corpse energy and flew away with himself.

Two months is not much time. Let's wait a bit longer and finish dealing with the issues before starting the next evolution.

"Hey!"

A gust of wind arose from the corpse's aura, tearing a pillar in half. A hint of annoyance flashed in the red-clad girl's eyes. With a flick of her wrist, she tossed out a light piece of paper, which transformed into a new pillar, blocking the side hall.

"Everyone, go back and get ready." The scholar, with a nonchalant expression on his face, vanished from the side hall in a flash.

The ghosts dispersed.

-----------------

Half an hour later, in the long corridor of the palace in the ghost city.

"Whoosh~" A cold wind blew by, and the monk ghost, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, blocked the red-clad girl who had just come out of the palace and was obviously going to inform others.

"Did you report today's plans to Nie Xiaoqian?" he asked indifferently.

The girl in red said coldly, "Of course."

"As it is?"

"Exactly word for word."

After the two ghosts finished speaking, they stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The monk ghost's gaze fell on the girl in red, but he didn't see anything, before saying, "This time, we owe you a lot."

The girl in red chuckled softly, "Master, we've worked together so many times, when have we ever failed?"

"Nie Xiaoqian, Zhang Chengyi..." The monk ghost murmured the two kings under his breath, and the smile on his face gradually became eerie.

The two ghosts disappeared quickly.

After a while, the monk ghost suddenly returned, squinted and glanced at the empty corridor before leaving.

About half an hour later, in the empty corner, a ghost stretched out its arms. After the spell failed, the scholar ghost chuckled softly and left with the wind.

Chapter 271: I love intrigue and scheming!

"Sister, should we..."

The female ghost, dressed in palace attire, wore a chilling expression.

Nie Xiaoqian shook her head and said, "No, as long as Master is still fighting, falling into the underworld is inevitable. If we deal with them now, it will only cause more trouble later."

She hesitated for a moment, then realized something was amiss.

The problem isn't the fall from the underworld, but the girl in red coming to inform on us.

Ghosts and humans are not so different in some ways, and old ghosts who have lived a long time often completely erase some of their positive emotions, leaving only extreme selfishness.

It's not hard to understand. After all, enduring pain for years can easily lead to the mentality that others owe you something, or the desire for others to suffer as much as you have.

The girl in red appears to be a spy planted by her after being bribed, but how can a ghost be loyal?

It's all about self-interest.

However, if she were to manage to harm the master and gain a completely liberated reincarnation in the underworld, the benefits would far exceed what Nie Xiaoqian could offer.

So, he had other thoughts on his mind.

Nie Xiaoqian rubbed her hand against the armrest, already guessing the red-clad girl's purpose.

It's an open conspiracy.

As the saying goes, there can not be two suns in the sky, but now there are two kings in the underworld: the Zombie King and the Ghost King. The Zombie King is idle all year round, either sleeping or playing, while the Ghost King is the one who has established the order of the underworld.

It was a very simple, overt scheme. She didn't even need to embellish it. She could simply turn a blind eye and go with the flow, framing the master according to those old devils' plan.

When the cycle of reincarnation begins, and gods and Buddhas are no longer around, won't both the Yin and Yang realms be under her control?

There may be deeper motives, but sowing discord is an open secret, and under normal circumstances, whether she reports it to the master or not, it will be a thorn in their side.

Because the defenses of the underworld cannot be breached, and there is no way to dissipate the excess heavenly lightning, the fall of the underworld is inevitable. At that time, we must find a way to make arrangements to buffer the clash between yin and yang.

Is this arrangement still intended to sacrifice the Zombie King?

"Hey~"

Nie Xiaoqian sighed softly. Dealing with old ghosts who have lived for a long time is so difficult. On the one hand, they will be very pragmatic and kneel on the ground to be driven by the strong, willing to lick the feet and buttocks of the strong, and their loyalty is beyond question.

On the other hand, once they are given the opportunity to betray you, they will immediately become rebellious and wish they could tear their former masters to pieces on the spot.

However, you've misunderstood one thing.

She thought to herself, then said, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. I'm going to find the master."

"Yes, sister," the female ghosts replied.

Nie Xiaoqian flew out of the palace, her expression serene.

Whether it was a conspiracy or a legitimate scheme, it didn't matter to the master, and she had long ago recognized her own position.

She might be no match for those old devils when it came to scheming and plotting, but she knew that, so she just needed to stand quietly by the master's side.

-----------------

Half an hour later, at Naihebian.

"Tsk, this is interesting."

Zhang Chengyi leaned back in the recliner woven from corpse poison grass and laughed, "These guys are really full of tricks."

This made him somewhat nostalgic for the adventures he had in the world of martial arts.

Recently, he has been wandering around various anime worlds. Compared to the martial arts world, these anime worlds feel more simple and honest, and even when they plot, they are relatively straightforward.

In the world of martial arts, the cunning and scheming are all incredibly adept at hiding their true intentions, especially in the world of Gu Long.

In the world of The Legendary Twins, he knew that some people were villains who would plot against him, yet he was still ensnared by one new trick after another, and in the end, he became a heretic whom everyone wanted to kill.

The outcome is irrelevant; he found the process quite interesting, and even actively cooperated with those people to perform the self-cultivation of a villain.

When it came to the final moment of showing off, crushing the encirclement, holding Yan Nantian in his left hand and Yaoyue in his right, and coldly saying, "The world has become filthy again," that feeling was absolutely exhilarating.

It's so much fun to show off while making jokes and teasing people about exams.

In the boring underworld, it's quite amusing that seemingly obedient old ghosts develop rebellious tendencies.

Nie Xiaoqian stood to the side, saying nothing.

After recalling some interesting memories from the past, Zhang Chengyi asked, "How much pressure do you think the clash between Yin and Yang would create?"

He wanted to test whether he would be crushed between the underworld and the mortal world. He had become much stronger, tougher and stronger, but he had nothing to test his strength on. He always wanted to find a powerful opponent to fight, or at least be beaten.

“Master,” Nie Xiaoqian couldn’t help but say.

She didn't come here to make her husband take risks.

Seeing the female ghost's worried expression, Zhang Chengyi sighed and said, "Alright, alright, I won't take any risks."

“Go and arrest them all,” he gave the simplest and most direct answer.

"My experience tells me that if you're not looking for fun, then don't try to outsmart people with intrigue and scheming."

Well, most of the time he can detect conspiracies, but he has to take some risks for the sake of having fun.

But in this world, he has a family to support and a harem of three thousand female ghosts. If something goes wrong, it won't just be him who suffers.

In other worlds to come, I will no longer seek out burdens.

Zhang Chengyi watched Nie Xiaoqian leave, hung his fishing rod on the recliner, and soared into the sky.

The escape of heavenly lightning caused a loophole in the underworld, which made him think of something interesting.
