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

Chapter 8

Lin Yan said goodbye to Black Grandma and Wei Xiaochun and returned to his residence.

"System, do you have any way to solve the three problems of entering Yongming River to salvage the Yellow Spring Water?"

[Ding, a new side quest has been triggered, please check it out.]

"Hmm?"

[Side Quest (III): Refining the Reincarnation Ghost Body]

[Reward: Seed of Reincarnation Rules]

[Explanation: Mastering the rules is a necessary condition for becoming a ghost emperor. Countless ghost kings are stuck because they cannot comprehend the rules and cannot enter the emperor realm]

"Huh? There are side quests?"

The previous ten-year exploration mission made Lin Yan think that he would not have the opportunity to obtain system tasks and rewards in the next ten years. Unexpectedly, there are side quests!

Moreover, this side quest is a continuous triple-task, which is linked to each other, and the rewards for each level are very good.

Especially the third level, the reward is a rule seed.

Regarding the advancement path from Ghost King to Ghost Emperor, Lin Yan is not very clear, but according to the system introduction, mastering the rules will be a crucial link.

"It seems that there is another reason to salvage the Yellow Spring Water. And it is a reason that must be gone."

After making up his mind, Lin Yan no longer struggled.

At this time, a long-lost sleepiness came.

"Huh? Do I have to sleep as a ghost?"

"Or is it that I have been too tense during this period, and my subconscious mind wants me to rest?"

Lin Yan returned to the bedroom in a daze and fell asleep.

At this time, a dark shadow filled the surroundings and gradually enveloped Lin Yan's courtyard.

...

In the evil ghost wasteland, Lin Yan locked a sixth-level ghost master, then cast a ghost den and swallowed it in the ghost den.

A pair of red eyes in the darkness were staring at this place: "Interesting, interesting."

Lin Yan cleaned up the battlefield, but there was confusion in his heart: "Huh? Why does this scene seem familiar? Just like... just like... it happened before!"

Boom!

A flash of lightning flashed through Lin Yan's consciousness.

"I'm dreaming!"

"This is wrong!"

He cast his eyes on the system panel.

Sure enough,

[Attention, you have fallen into the A-level ghost nightmare realm]

[Ghost Lord Nightmare: Sixth level five stars, ghost nightmare born from dreams, likes to feed on fear]

Hmm? Nightmare?

Lin Yan turned his head suddenly, but saw a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him in the darkness.

"Chatter chatter..."

With the laughter, the whole world began to distort.

Dead trees, weeds, stones, earth, gloomy wind, sky, and even purple sun, all turned into hideous ghost faces, and the gloomy and miserable laughter filled the world.

"Playing tricks!"

Lin Yan was unmoved, just staring coldly at the scarlet eyes.

"Nightmare, you and I have no grudges, why did you come to me?"

"Huh?" All the ghost faces opened their mouths, revealing their ferocious fangs, "You know me? Know me... know me... know me... me..."

The voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"A mere nightmare can only act arrogantly in falsehood. If I am not afraid of you, what can you do to me?"

"Chatter chatter chatter... interesting and interesting!"

The ghost face laughed wildly, "Boy, you are the most interesting undead I have ever encountered, I will remember you!"

With these words, all the ghost faces solidified, the scarlet eyes retreated, and the whole dream was dispersing.

Lin Yan was about to wake up from his sleep.

"Want to leave?"

Lin Yan's mind moved, and the ghost den of life and death instantly unfolded.

"My dream, how can you come and go as you want?"

As he said, his right palm stretched forward.

The palm of the hand instantly expanded, covering the sky and the sun, and grabbed the entire dream.

At the same time, it also grabbed back a ghost shadow formed by a ball of black gas. In the center of the ghost shadow,A pair of scarlet eyes were flashing.

"Nightmare."

Lin Yan grabbed the ghost, "Now, can we talk properly?"

"Ah..."

Nightmare screamed, "What are you? Why can you catch me? Why can you catch me!"

It kept struggling, "Let me go! Do you know who I am? If you offend me, you will not end well!"

"Still talking stubbornly?"

Lin Yan opened his mouth and sucked gently.

The black shadow in his hand was immediately torn into two halves. The shadow that was pulled out flew into Lin Yan's mouth under the irresistible suction and turned into the purest soul power.

"Chat, soul power with fear is indeed more delicious."

Lin Yan licked his lips and smiled grimly.

Nightmare, who had shrunk a lot, had fear in his eyes: "Don't kill me! I am the ghost pet raised by Ghost King Li Wuqi. If you kill me, Ghost King will not let you go!"

"Ghost King Li Wuqi?"

"You are just a ghost king, are you worthy of threatening me?"

Lin Yan sneered: "Tell me, why did you find me on your last chance?"

It doesn't feel good to be targeted by Nightmare on the first day of arriving in Blackwood City.

Is someone deliberately targeting you, or is it just an accident?

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, not to mention Ghost King, even if the gods come, they can't save you!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Nightmare was obviously scared, "I found you because you have the breath of the world of the living. I am Nightmare, and absorbing fear is my way to advancement. Unfortunately, this is the underworld, and the undead in the underworld are naturally lacking in fear. So I yearn for the world of the living and am particularly sensitive to the breath from the world of the living."

So this is the reason.

After only one day in the city, two people have already smelled the breath of the living world on him. It seems that he still needs to find a way to get rid of it.

Lin Yan pondered and judged whether this nightmare was lying or concealing.

"Tell me about the ghost king Li Wuqi."

"Yes, sir."

"Master Li Wuqi is the master of the Judgment Hall of Heimu City and the judge of the underworld authorized by the Yin Court. He holds the supreme judgment power of Heimu City and is the ghost king of the entire Heimu City, second only to the city lord."

The city lord of Heimu City is the Heimu Grandma.

Unexpectedly, the ghost king Li Wuqi is the second most important person in Heimu City.

Lin Yan continued to ask: "How strong is he?"

Nightmare shook his head: "I only know that the master is very strong, and his ghost den is an S-level ghost den. I don't know anything else."

Lin Yan asked again: "Why does Li Wuqi want to raise you?"

"I am the nightmare cultivated by the master Li Wuqi from his own dream. I am the master's shadow. The master once found a channel connecting the human world in the ruins world. He plans to send me to that human world to absorb the power of fear of the living and then advance to the ghost king."

"Once I successfully advance to the ghost king, the master will recall and merge me. At that time, we may be able to master the rules of dreams and then find the way to enter the emperor level!"

"The human world channel in the ruins world? Tell me about that channel!"

"I don't know about this. I don't pay much attention to these things, and the master didn't say much."

"Waste."

"You..." Nightmare dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

Lin Yan: "Anything else to add?"

Nightmare cried, "I've told you everything I know."

Lin Yan nodded, "Well, you can go and die now."

"You!" Nightmare panicked, "You don't keep your word!"

Lin Yan grinned, "I didn't say I would let you go."

"You...I..." Nightmare screamed in fear, "You can't kill me, I'm the master's shadow, if you kill me, the master will definitely find you..."

Before she finished her words, Nightmare's body had been completely sucked into Lin Yan's mouth.

"I know so many secrets of Li Wuqi. If I let you go back, he will come to find me the next moment, right?"
