After death, I became the ghost emperor. I was contracted by my daughter.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

During these two days, Lin Yan followed Wei Xiaochun to travel around Heimu City.

I feel that if it weren't for the time limit, the system's [Exploration] task should have been completed for the most part.

On the evening of the third day, the purple sun set and the red moon rose.

Lin Yan and Wei Xiaochun came to Yongming Palace.

"Lin Yan, what do you think?" asked Grandma Heimu.

"Grandma Heimu, I have decided to participate in the work of collecting the Yellow Spring Water."

"Okay, follow me."

The two followed Grandma Heimu, crossed the mountains and forests, and walked towards the back of the mountain.

As soon as they climbed over the top of the mountain, they saw a long river coming from the void, crossing the sky, and sinking into the halfway up the Black Mountain.

From the top of the mountain, it looked like a long sword piercing straight into the mountain!

This Yongming River is not connected to the earth, coming from the void and going to the void.

At the junction of the long river and the mountain, there stands a towering black locust tree, with its crown like an open umbrella, covering the entire Black Mountain.

"This is..."

Lin Yan looked at the towering tree in surprise.

Wei Xiaochun explained excitedly: "That is the body of the grandma!"

"The body!"

Lin Yan had already guessed it in his heart, but after hearing Wei Xiaochun's explanation, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Black Wood Grandma is more powerful than he imagined.

Compared with Black Wood Grandma, the seventh-level ghost king he encountered in his lifetime was as immature as a child.

If he hadn't seen the system's data about Black Wood Grandma, Lin Yan would hardly believe that such a powerful existence was just a ghost king.

As if she had noticed Lin Yan's confusion, Grandma Heimu suddenly spoke: "Lin Yan, are you curious about my strength?"

Seeing Lin Yan nod, she continued: "My realm is the seventh level and nine stars, which is the peak of the ghost king."

"Three thousand epochs ago, I was at this realm."

"At the beginning, this was still a barren mountain. One day, I passed by here by chance, and happened to encounter a great change in the world. The Yongming River, a tributary of Huangquan, changed its course and passed through this world."

"After observing the Yongming River, I was greatly inspired, so I took root in the Yongming River and devoted myself to cultivation."

"This rooting lasted for 30 million years."

"The road to becoming an emperor is so difficult!"

"I have been cultivating for 30 million years and have already touched the threshold of becoming an emperor, but I have always lacked that last step and cannot jump in!"

"Thanks to the nourishment of the Yongming River, my strength is no longer comparable to that of an ordinary ghost king."

Lin Yan nodded and did not speak.

It seemed that Grandma Heimu was talking to herself, but it also seemed that she was just reminiscing and sighing.

"To achieve the throne, you need to comprehend the power of rules, but I am a locust tree ghost. Compared with you humans, I was born with one less soul and one less spirit. The final step is too difficult for me!"

"Hey, it's useless to tell you this now."

"Wait until you grow up and awaken your memories before you die. Maybe then we will have a common language."

So that's it.

After listening to Grandma Heimu's words, Lin Yan knew why she thought so highly of herself.

She had always mistakenly believed that she was a spirit transformed from the death of the strongest, with great potential, and could awaken her memories before she died at any time.

Once she really entered the realm of ghost emperor, she would no longer be a junior, but a peer, and even need to look up to him.

Perhaps she might also have the idea of ​​asking a ghost emperor to guide her and help her take the final step and break into the throne.

But it was obvious that Grandma Heimu had misjudged.

Of course, Lin Yan would not say it clearly.

Although he is not the reincarnation of an emperor-level warrior, he has a system to rely on, and the upcoming side quests have shown the way to becoming a ghost emperor.

Becoming a ghost emperor does not seem to be a difficult task for him.

"When I enter the emperor realm, it is not a bad idea to give some pointers to Grandma Black Wood." Lin Yan said to himself.

Under the leadership of Grandma Black Wood, the three came to the halfway point of the mountain, the Yongming River.

There is a huge translucent barrier here, isolating the Yongming River.

However, when you get closer, you can still vaguely feel the surging energy overflowing.

At this time, more than a dozen undeads have stood on the riverside outside the barrier, waiting for Grandma Black Wood to arrive.

"I think these are the people who will participate in collecting the Yellow Spring Water this time." Lin Yan understood.

At this time, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd -

No, to be precise, it was a familiar eye!

It was a pair of scarlet eyes with blood.

That is——

The eyes of nightmare!

Could he be the ghost king Li Wuqi?

Lin Yan quietly launched the investigation of "Book of Life and Death".

Sure enough,

[Ghost King Li Wuqi: Seventh level nine stars, the master of the Judgment Hall of Blackwood City, the judge of the underworld authorized by the underworld court]

Sure enough, it is Li Wuqi!

Why is he here!

Lin Yan's thoughts turned rapidly.

But at this moment,Escape would seem abrupt.

He could only follow Grandma Hei Mu forward as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm?"

In the crowd, Li Wuqi suddenly sensed the soul fluctuations of the attribute.

He looked around and instantly locked onto Lin Yan.

"Is it you?!"

Then, he stepped forward, stretched out his palm, turned into a giant ghost claw, and grabbed Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was about to launch a ghost den to fight, but suddenly, he saw Grandma Hei Mu's palm gently stroking.

Boom!

Li Wuqi's ghost claw seemed to hit a wall, and was bounced away by the huge force, and his whole body was shaken back again and again.

Grandma Hei Mu shouted softly: "Li Wu Qi, what are you doing?"

"Grandma Hei Mu?"

Li Wu Qi looked at Grandma Hei Mu in surprise, then looked at Lin Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Who is this kid?"

Grandma Hei Mu said: "He is my guest, and also a member of this batch of Yellow Spring Water collection."

She said again: "Li Wu Qi, answer me now, what are you doing!"

"Guest?"

Li Wu Qi chewed on these two words, evaluating the relationship between Lin Yan and Grandma Hei Mu in his heart, and guessed whether Grandma Hei Mu was the mastermind behind the attack on Nightmare.

"Anyway, since I've already made a move, I've exposed the fact that I saw Nightmare die in the hands of this kid. I might as well make things clear and see what Grandma Hei Mu says!"

Thinking of this, Li Wuqi said, "Grandma Hei Mu, this kid killed my ghost pet."

"He killed your ghost pet? Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?"

Li Wuqi's expression froze, "I can conclude that it was this kid who killed my ghost pet!"

"So you mean there's no evidence?" Grandma Hei Mu snorted coldly, "You dare to attack my guest without evidence? Li Wuqi, I haven't taken action for too long. , let you think I can't hold a knife?"

As Grandma Hei Mu said, Li Wu Qi suddenly remembered the horrible scene when Grandma Hei Mu attacked, and his momentum weakened a little. He gritted his teeth and explained: "In fact, my ghost pet is a nightmare that I cultivated from my own dream. It is born with my soul information. This kid swallowed the nightmare and now my soul is still on his body!"

"Nightmare?" Grandma Hei Mu thought, "Are you exploring the rules of dreams?"

"Yes!"

Grandma Hei Mu glanced at the silent Lin Yan, and knew that what Li Wu Qi said was true.

Thinking that Lin Yan really has great means, he can even deal with the nightmare of the ghost king.

In his heart, he couldn't help but pay more attention to Lin Yan.

But Li Wu Qi is the judge of the underworld authorized by the underworld court after all. It is said that there is a ghost emperor standing behind him. At this time, he is in the wrong, but it is not easy to be blatantly partial.

So he said, "Li Wuqi, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Why don't you settle this feud for my sake? I will compensate you for your losses. In addition, how about I give you some Yellow Spring Water as an apology?"

Li Wuqi was even more surprised to see that Grandma Hei Mu was so humble.

He thought, "Grandma Hei Mu values ​​this kid so much, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to do anything today. But this kid has swallowed up the nightmare, so he must have seen countless of my secrets, so I must not let him go! Why don't I pretend to agree to reconcile today, and wait until this kid leaves Yongming Palace, and then take decisive action to kill him with thunder!"

Thinking of this, Li Wuqi pretended to be helpless and said, "Since Grandma Hei Mu said so, what else can I say. Just follow what Grandma said, I will let this kid go."

Grandma Hei Mu clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay! I will remember the face given by the Ghost King!"
