"After all, this city, with its overlapping time and space, is very similar to a 'ghost town'. Your ability to 'send' me away with a wave of your hand also corresponds to the 'time and space' attribute of the sealed evil spirits in the ghost town. Based on this, the original 'ghost bride', as the source of the ghost town, is naturally the biggest suspect. Not to mention, I have long been suspicious of the whereabouts of the ghost bride who was replaced by Ah Yue."

Ghosts never die.

Even if the power is stripped away, and the traces of the identity and existence as a 'ghost' are replaced, at most it will just fall into silence.

But as long as the source is still there, it will never disappear completely.

However, after the ghost town copy ended, Li Re went deep into the ghost town through the Yin-Yang Road, but did not find the original ghost bride.

We searched the entire ghost town but couldn't find any trace of him.

This is obviously not normal.

The reason why I didn't think of it before was because the gap between different copy worlds was too deep, and in the absence of sufficient information, even "psychic power" could not clearly capture the truth.

Now it is just a matter of inferring the 'process' from the 'result'!

“But I’m still confused.”

Li Re grinned and took the opportunity to ask, "You are a 'ghost', right? If not a ghost god, you must at least be a 'ghost fairy' - otherwise you will never be the source of a 'ghost town'."

"If that's the case, why are you here? Why are you in this 'city' that is the source of this evil? And why did you even create such an illusion!"

The other party's eyes paused when he heard this.

"As expected, he is worthy of being the one who successfully solved the ghost disaster."

The veil was lifted slightly, half covering her face. As her long sleeves fluttered, her voice was still ethereal, and her temperament became even more ethereal. She said ethereal and calmly: "Just like in a ghost town, you are very smart - and very perceptive."

"As for why I'm here? It's okay to tell you about this."

"That's because, of course—"

"I am the 'barbarian god' you are looking for."

"This time, the demonic disaster was also initiated by me - I borrowed the calamity to make the central authority share the demonic erosion for me, so that I could successfully plant the demon in my body, get rid of the ghost body, and transform into a 'ghost god'!"

"Besides, you don't think that you can stop me by taking off my veil?"

The original 'ghost bride' - the 'ghost fairy' who now calls herself 'barbarian god' raised her hand again. The mysterious flames under Li Re's feet seemed to be under great pressure as her palm was raised, making crackling sounds and burning faster. The light and shadow of the surrounding city, which was torn and twisted, also seemed to twist and rotate slightly under her palm.

Li Re felt a great crisis!

This was a stronger force than the previous method she used to send herself away! Because this time, her palm was no longer just facing Li Re, but the entire area where he was standing - including the fire and the city, and even the bloody sky above the city streets behind Li Re!

Li Re was able to stay here by relying on the 'spiritual fire' that remained.

That being the case.

Then she would send him away along with everything that might have been set on fire by him!

This is what this 'ghost fairy' thinks.

As the long sleeves fluttered, a huge vortex slowly emerged in the blood-red sky, and that vortex was right above Li Re's head. Amidst the crackling sounds, 'Master Frost and Snow' who was on the Yin-Yang road inside Li Re's body, witnessed this astonishing change and finally raised the magic sword in his hand under the powerful threat of the ghost fairy's power!

But just at this moment, the ghost immortal was about to wave his hand again.

Li Re suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled as if he had just woken up from a dream!

"...Um?"

The ghost fairy who called herself "Barbarian God" was slightly stunned and her raised hand paused. She looked at Li Re who suddenly laughed out loud and tilted her head, wondering if this guy was crazy?

But Li Re just laughed to himself, and his laughter made Master Frost and Snow, who had raised his magic sword, stunned and felt puzzled. His laughter made the wind in this "Lijing City" gust violently, the spiritual fire swayed, and the misty ghost fog flew in all directions with the wind.

"Wrong, wrong!" he said.

What's wrong?

"you are wrong!"

Li Re pointed at the ghost fairy in front of him and said, "You are lying to me - you are not the so-called 'barbarian god' at all!"

"You won't be the real 'Barbarian God' either!"

The 'ghost fairy' with her long sleeves fluttering and her skirt moving slightly paused again after hearing this and then decided to ignore Li Re's words and directly waved her hand to 'send' him away. She also subconsciously thought that Li Re was just bluffing.

however--

"The real 'Barbarian God' is the 'Yin Tianzi' behind you, right?"

As soon as this sentence came out.

She couldn't help but waving her hands and froze completely!

Her originally calm eyes narrowed further, unable to suppress the outburst of her inner emotions - not to mention her, even the 'Master Frost and Snow' on the Yin-Yang Road stood up subconsciously and his snow-white long hair moved when he heard the name of such a big shot!

"Are you surprised that I could guess that?"

Li Re waved his hand and said as a matter of course: "Don't underestimate my wild imagination - although I couldn't guess your identity before you unveiled your veil, that doesn't mean I will be bound by my thinking and common sense!"

“In fact, I have been wondering about this for a long time.”

"I wonder if this place, as the center of the Mountain and Sea Realm, is extremely important to the entire Mountain and Sea Realm. According to Shiyu, this place is also the midpoint station connecting the different realms of the Mountain and Sea Realm. If so, how could it be invaded and destroyed so badly? And if this is what is bound to happen in every killing calamity, then as an ancient immortal sect that has existed for a long time and is stationed in the northern border, why didn't the 'Heavenly Sword Sect' have the slightest warning and precautions against this situation?"

“Not to mention, the source of all the barbarians and calamity energy comes from the abyss of the north, and underneath that gap is actually the ‘Yellow Springs Gap’ controlled by ‘Yin Tianzi’! He is the only one in the world who has the highest authority to open the Yellow Springs Gap!”

"And I will still be affected by 'Guixu' in this world!"

Such clear words echoed in the wind, and the more the 'ghost fairy' listened, the more shocked she became. She was shocked by the 'Yellow Springs Gap' and 'Guixu' mentioned by Li Re, and how he knew about these existences that only the Yinshan Underworld knew - the real person Shuangxue in the underworld was even more confused. She understood every word, but couldn't put them together.

Li Re still spoke nonchalantly.

He continued nonchalantly.

He didn't even expect that the ghost fairy in front of him or Lin Shuangxue in his body would be able to understand him, because his words were not meant for them, but for the mastermind behind the scenes as he called them.

To 'Yin Tianzi'——

"Of course, although these things are unexpected, they can also be called coincidences. However, now that I see you, I can finally confirm it!"

Li Re looked at the ghost fairy who was no longer the 'ghost bride' in front of him, and spoke clearly and proudly: "Judging from the power you have shown, you can't be an ordinary 'ghost fairy' - I think you should be a ghost god belonging to the 'underworld'?"

"In addition to the above, there are even more doubts that can serve as evidence. For example, the Yinshan test I participated in was clearly a test in the underworld, but the participants were not only ghosts, but also fox monsters and even mythical creatures like dragons."

“Even though the Yinshan Ghost Mansion is quite special, normally, mythical creatures like the fox dragon would not come to Yinshan to participate in the assessment—unless they want to offer their ‘letter of surrender’! Because the Yinshan Ghost Mansion has mastered some existence or domain that they have no choice but to submit to!”

"For example, I, who was once a little scholar, was able to bump into Yin Tianzi in the human world! Such an extremely small probability should be one in ten thousand, or even never happened. But judging from the reactions of the people who took the test at that time, although they were surprised that there was a living person taking the test, they did not seem surprised. Rather than being surprised, that reaction was more like - 'impatient'! Impatient with the number of times this kind of thing happened!"

"Based on this inference, we can also know that the power of 'Emperor Yin', or the Yinshan Ghost Mansion, has already entered the core."

"According to this analysis, it is easier to understand that this world is dead—"

"Because the underworld has entered the human world! That's why I can feel the power of Guixu here. Also, because the underworld has entered the human world, the barbarians in the Yellow Springs gap, which is closer to the underworld, can cross the northern border and directly touch the practitioners in the Central Plains. Moreover, because the underworld has entered the human world, you, as a ghost god in the underworld, - are standing here!" Word by word, sentence by sentence, every word was heart-piercing - Li Re became more and more excited as he spoke!

The 'ghost fairy' opened his mouth again with his pupils tightly locked.

But this time, she didn't have time to speak.

A chilly wind blew from behind her, carrying a chilly air, and blew towards Li Re.

The sound that followed also made her completely freeze.

"Little boy, I haven't seen you for a while, but you're still so sharp!"

The echo of such words sounded old and low.

The moment the words fell, the whole city seemed to light up at the same time - dots of light spread between the buildings and streets of the city like fireflies gathering, and countless "mirrors" hanging between the city's interiors flipped at the same time, refracting invisible light.

The light broke through the barriers of the buildings and fell into the sky and gathered together.

It transformed into a larger and more magnificent "mirror", standing in the bloody sky.

A shadow appeared in the mirror, and an old man walked out with his hands behind his back.

Bringing a tremendous oppression like a deep abyss and a towering mountain!

Chapter 241: See You Again, Emperor Yin

At this moment, as the majestic figure slowly walked out of the mirror that stood in the air, the entire city of Lijing suddenly fell into silence. Then, the ghost god who had previously called himself the Barbarian God, who looked like a young girl, slightly leaned over and said, "Greetings, Lord!"

The ethereal but still clear words rang out,

The figure falling from the sky was slightly startled when he heard this, and then raised the corner of his mouth: "Shaoyin, there is no need to be so reserved."

"There are no outsiders here, you can just call me grandpa. There's no need for us to be so distant with each other!" His words were gentle, his hair and beard were pale, and he looked kind, like an ordinary old man.

The ghost god called 'Shao Yin' did not respond immediately with a respectful attitude, but instead glanced slightly towards Li Re on the other side of the street - at this moment Li Re was also looking at them, or rather, looking at the 'old man' who walked out of the mirror in the air and slowly fell down.

The old man smiled without any trace of the 'Yin Tianzi' demeanor: "That guy is not an outsider."

"He stole my Guixu power. Does he think he can really escape?"

Steal the power of Guixu?

'Shaoyin Siming' was slightly shocked and thought to himself, the reason why this guy knew so many things was because he directly stole the 'Power of Guixu'?

"You have just returned from your tribulation. These things happened when you were away. If you are interested, you can find out more about him later." The old man pointed at Li Re on the opposite side, but continued: "As for now, you can step down first. I will handle the rest!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the old man's slightly serious tone, Shaoyin Siming became a little solemn. He stepped back to the side and remembered the words of the 'Emperor Yin' in front of him even more.

Then she suddenly froze as if she had just reacted.

and many more.

Then go find him and find out what's going on?

However, she did not ask this question, and the 'Yin Tianzi' who appeared in the mirror certainly did not respond.

Yin Tianzi just took two steps forward and looked directly at the young figure standing deep in the city, at the other end of the street.

Li Re also looked at him - grinning at the familiar old man's appearance: "I didn't expect you have a granddaughter?"

"That's natural."

Yin Tianzi's hair and beard fluttered in the cold wind that blew in from the city gate behind him. He narrowed his eyes with a hint of pride: "This is my granddaughter! How is she? Not bad, right?"

"My granddaughter is a rare talent in a thousand years. Her talent is no less than mine back then—"

Shaoyin Siming, who was listening nearby, suddenly had the illusion that this was not a confrontation on the "battlefield" but an attempt to recruit a grandson-in-law when hearing his boss and grandfather's boasting.

At this moment, the "Master Shuangxue" who was on the Yin-Yang Road in Li Re's body was stunned to see the top big man in the mountains and seas appear and talk like an ordinary person. This feeling was just like crossing many levels and facing the big boss at the end of the level as a novice - it was so easy that it was unimaginable! And this boss at the end of the level was so amiable that he wanted you to be his son-in-law!

Li Re suddenly lost interest.

Under normal circumstances, he would certainly not hesitate to provoke powerful and dangerous women.

But now, he has more interesting things to do.

So he just changed the subject and said, "So, my guess was right - you are the mastermind behind this disaster!"

Seeing Li Re speak directly to the point, Yin Tianzi paused. He raised his head and looked at the bloody sky above the capital and exhaled: "So what?"

"This is not the Silver Mountain test, and you can't use the test rules I set to deal with me - and don't forget, kid, you still have the serious crime of 'assassinating' me before!"

"So, do you want to hold me accountable here?" Li Re raised his eyebrows.

Yin Tianzi responded decisively: "No!"

"How could the emperor arrest criminals personally?" he responded with confidence.

"What the hell are you talking about!" Li Re's response was even more impolite, as if the person he was facing was not some gloomy emperor but an ordinary old man he met on the street.

"So you're talking about the hammer again?"

Yin Tianzi blew his beard and said, "Even if I am the source of the catastrophe you mentioned, so what?"

"Do you want to stop me?"

"With the ghost cultivation power in your body that is not even close to the fairyland of the Mountain and Sea Realm? The half-baked Guixu power? Or the 'Demon God' Dharma image that you got by chance?"

An old and muddy voice sounded from his mouth, and this time it was as powerful as thunder - compared to Li Re, who was a bronze-level rookie player before, he now truly felt the pressure from 'Yin Tianzi'!

Emperor Yin's stature is not tall and his words are not fierce, but every word he says seems to contain infinite power, and his words are like golden words and jade words, and it seems that his words are followed by laws!

During this time, Li Re felt as if he had become a small boat in the vast ocean. Not to mention the power of the ghost rider in his body, even his spiritual fire was extinguished by these words, and even the 'ghost and god image' was directly suppressed and could not move!

In addition to the 'Spiritual Judge' in the spiritual dimension,

All other powers are completely useless!

However, precisely because of the existence of the 'Chief Judge of the Spirit World', Li Re was able to maintain a calm mind amidst these words. Under these words, his mind inexplicably became more excited and flexible. He thought to himself that this was right, he thought to himself that this was the right thing to do, to anger the supreme existence of the copy world and make it kill him - this was also his ideal thing!
