It should have been like this, this should have been the result.

But the Emperor's meaning, those bizarre groups conspiring in the Black Green Mountain Range, seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

The five princes lowered their heads, not daring to respond.

In the past, they even had thoughts of accumulating strength, surpassing their father, and replacing him.

But now, they didn't even dare to entertain the thought.

Even if they already possessed the strength of a Yu-level (Rain-level) ghoul, it was still the same!

What of a Yu-level ghoul? In front of their father, it was simply not enough!

Their father… was too strong! He was currently the strongest existence in the Wu Yu (Black Rain) clan!

And after obtaining that item brought back by their sixth sister, their father had become even stronger… even stronger! Strong to the point of being unfathomable!

The surroundings quieted down.

As if finding his five sons uninteresting, the Emperor lost the desire to speak.

Time passed by, second by second.

They didn't know what their father was waiting for, but they vaguely felt that some terrifying existence was rapidly approaching!

Closer, closer! Even closer!

As the distance closed, that overwhelming sense of terrifying oppression directly suppressed their hearts, making them feel a heaviness in their chests and difficulty in breathing.

What… or rather, who, could possibly bring them such a feeling!?

The five members of the royal family were greatly shocked. They had never imagined that besides their father, there could actually be an existence that could bring them such a sense of oppression!

"Everyone, be vigilant!"

The moment he spoke, the black clouds in the sky had already changed their form, and everyone waited solemnly.

But the Emperor's words made them stop.

"Let him come. You are no match for him."

The black clouds parted on both sides, making way.

And the existence rushing over from afar was finally exposed to everyone's sight.

It was… a bird.

A very ordinary black bird, with black feathers, a sharp beak, but still just a bird.

The five members of the royal family could feel that the terrifying pressure, like Mount Tai, was emanating from this bird, but they couldn't understand where such a bird got this kind of oppressive force.

The black bird flew straight to the Wu Yu clan's king, and slowly paused.

The two powerhouses, stared at each other.

In the end, it was the Wu Yu clan's king who spoke first.

"Do you intend to converse with me in that form? I want to see your true form."

"When did you get the misconception that this isn't my true form?"

"Hei Qing Gui (Black Green Ghoul), don't use that high and mighty attitude on me! Believe me, I'll destroy your mountain range!"

Boom!

With a loud noise, the entire mountain range shook.

"You are welcome to try! The entire mountain range is my true form, and everything on the mountain range is also part of my true form. Do you think you can beat me? Even if I am in a sealed state!"

"Hmph, hmph, hahahaha… Hei Qing Gui, times have changed! Do you still think you are an invincible Transcendence-level ghoul? Look at what I have in my hand!"

The Wu Yu clan's king took out an item, which was actually… the Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant!

"This is?! Wait! Don't tell me you want… me to enter the Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant, break free from the seal, and then devour your body to complete my rebirth? If you are truly willing, I can consider ensuring the Wu Yu clan prospers for ten thousand generations!"

Upon hearing this, the Wu Yu clan's king gradually revealed a cold smile.

"You misunderstood. What's inside is… the soul of the strongest king in the Wu Yu clan's history. When he merges with me, and is devoured by me, his power will be used by me. My power will rise to a completely new realm!"

"A demon…"

"That's right, a demon!"

"If you can become a demon…"

"If I become a demon, I can help you break the seal!"

"…"

Hei Qing Gui was silent. After a long while, his black bird body suddenly transformed into a human form, cracked open his mouth, and laughed, "What do you want?"

"Qing Country!"

"Just a mere Qing Country? After becoming a demon, your vision can be much broader."

"Why be in such a hurry? Qing Country is just the first step. Hei Qing Gui, if you and I join forces to rule Qing Country, turning Qing Country into a ghoul-like nation! Taking this as a foundation, we can look to the distance and see a better scenery!"

"I have already seen too much scenery. However… you are very interesting! Little ghost of the Wu Yu clan, let me help you. Help me escape, I will solve the Guardian Stone Lions, you solve the Qing Country's King! Let's destroy Qing Country together!"

The Wu Yu clan's king revealed a smile, but then thought of something.

"Helping you forcefully break the seal will definitely damage your strength. Are you sure you can still deal with the Guardian Stone Lions?"

The Wu Yu clan's king's question made Hei Qing Gui look up to the sky and couldn't help but let out a crazy laugh.

The laughter shook the surrounding Wu Yu clan's black clouds, causing them to dissipate, revealing their true forms.

All the Wu Yu clan members couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.

Just how strong is this guy…?!

Only the Wu Yu clan's king was quietly waiting for Hei Qing Gui's response.

And when the laughter subsided, Hei Qing Gui stared into the Wu Yu clan's king's eyes, and slowly said.

"Who do you think I am? I am… Hei Qing Gui!!"

Boom!

As the words fell, the land covered by the Hei Qing Mountain Range suddenly cracked and shattered!

The unprecedented earthquake in the Hei Qing Mountain Range erupted from this moment!

Amidst the rumbling earthquake, the Wu Yu clan's king laughed loudly, bit the Soul-Entrusting Jade Pendant in one mouthful, and swallowed it.

Terrifying power burst out from his body!

The violent aura shot up into the sky like a pillar, dazzling and eye-catching!

"Today, I will use the [Luo Hua Gui] (Fallen Flower Ghoul) clan and the [Yang Xu Gui] (Goat Deception Ghoul) clan as sacrifices to help you break the seal!!"

Boom!

The sky seemed to be split in half, with only a solar eclipse in the sky!

The entire Hei Qing Mountain Range was shaking.

All the ghouls in the Hei Qing Mountain Range faced the direction of Hei Qing Gui and prostrated on the ground.

The unprecedented great migration of everyone in the Hei Qing Mountain Range suddenly began today!

The Hei Qing Mountain Range rumbled and cracked, as if to break some kind of seal, and became increasingly severely fragmented.

The original basin terrain gradually turned into a plain terrain.

"Soon, it will be soon. When I break through the seal, it will be the day Qing Country is destroyed!"

"The long peace has ended. The era is going berserk!"

…

Jing City, Juan Niao (Cuckoo Bird) Tower.

Fang Yue followed the leading maid forward.

Along the way, every time they arrived at an area, the maid introduced it to him.

Pleasure-seeking, news trading, assassination rewards, sect recruitment… etc., can all be done in Juan Niao Tower.

The premise is that you must have a Juan Niao Tower token!

In Fang Yue's opinion, Juan Niao Tower is like the core hub of the dark side of Jing City, connecting other organizations and providing various services!

In return, Juan Niao Tower can also obtain a large amount of information, wealth, and various resources.

Regardless of what the original intention of the four princes was, the current Juan Niao Tower is a huge organization with great influence!

It's just that the name of this organization is Juan Niao Tower!

The hierarchically strict tokens are like organizational cadres at different levels, with different tasks and responsibilities.

Even if it is not out of their own will, they passively provide nourishment for Juan Niao Tower.

Such a blood-sucking parasitic organization is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it is ignored. Just how degenerate has Jing City become?
