Chapter 413 The Ghost King of Beiman
The three thousand soldiers were stationed in various inns in Qingcheng. Although this caused a huge disruption to all the inns in Qingcheng, merchants, who prioritize profit, were quite welcoming to Ye Ru's Yanhuang Kingdom army for such a large sum of money.
Under the cover of darkness, Qingcheng was brightly lit. The two scholars and the Star Ape King lived next to Ye Ru, so they would know immediately if there was any movement.
Ye Ru sat alone on the mat, with a book in front of him. This book was different from the printed classics of the sages; it was a compilation of wisdom from ancient sages and scholars.
"Annotations on the Essential Techniques of Peace"
Ye Ru is now preparing to read through the entire "Annotations on the Essential Techniques of Peace" in order to understand the difficult issues that exist in the "Essential Techniques of Peace".
With this book, he believed he would have a better understanding of the Taiping Yaoshu.
Time passed, and Ye Ru became even more focused on his reading. The words kept entering his mind, and he eventually copied them repeatedly in the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries).
"King of the Underworld Soldiers..."
Upon seeing those familiar words, Ye Ru's concentration increased even further:
"I never expected there would be an explanation of ghost soldiers here."
As he looked down, his face grew increasingly solemn.
He already knew about summoning the ghost soldiers, but this book also contained the technique to condense the King of Ghost Soldiers.
Moreover, this King of Ghost Soldiers is even more powerful than the Ghost Soldiers.
"Legend has it that the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain is stationed there. He is formed from the yin energy of heaven and earth and rarely shows himself to anyone. Every time he is born, blood is drawn, making him extremely ferocious. Because of the heavy sins he has committed, he is not recorded in the 'Taiping Yaoshu' (Essential Techniques of Great Peace). I, the Sage, obtained this book by chance in Suzhou and Hangzhou and tried to summon the Ghost King of Beimang Mountain. After forty-nine experiments, I finally revealed the Ghost King's true form. This technique should never be used unless it is a matter of life and death..."
Looking at the annotations, Ye Ru also took a deep breath.
"If I could try to summon it, I would probably be able to save my life against anyone below the level of a saint."
If I could summon the Ghost King of Beimang, my combat power would surely increase to another level, and I would be able to fight against even a half-saint of the demon race.
Then Ye Ru looked down again, and when he saw that the corpses could be temporarily revived, a deep shock appeared on his face.
"The contents of this book are indeed the crystallization of wisdom. Although it is somewhat immoral, in the end, it may very well turn the rotten into the miraculous."
After Ye Ru finished reading the book, he immediately felt his energy and the talent within the book rapidly depleting. He then put the book aside and fell asleep on the table.
A peaceful night passed by at this time...
Ye Ru yawned and woke up from his sleep. Nothing dangerous had happened that night, which allowed him to get a good night's sleep.
He has never had a proper rest since arriving here from the Yanhuang Kingdom.
Ye Ru opened the door, stretched, and looked out the window in the hallway. For some reason, a surge of heroic spirit suddenly welled up inside him.
If this were the last world, it would be diplomacy, where one must firmly stand firm on one's position without making an inch!
Only when a country demonstrates strength both internally and externally can it avoid being looked down upon by other countries.
And now, I am gradually fulfilling this mission.
Good morning, Ye Anshou.
As Ye Ru pushed open the door, Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhi also opened their doors, bowed to Ye Ru, and said...
Good morning, gentlemen. I wonder how you slept last night?
"Fortunately, let's continue our journey today."
Zhang Dong nodded and said.
"What about the other soldiers? Let them assemble. We'll continue towards the capital of Jin. How many days until the Scholars' Gathering?"
Ye Ru asked.
"There are still more than half a month left. We should be able to arrive in about seven or eight days. It's a pity that we brought too many followers this time. Otherwise, if we took the flying boat, we would probably arrive in three days."
Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment, then spoke.
Where is the Star Ape King?
Zhang Dong noticed that the door to the Star Ape King's house was still closed, which puzzled him.
"They're probably still sleeping. Let's go check on them."
Ye Ru and the others arrived at the Star Ape King's door. After knocking twice and finding no response, they frowned and forced their way in.
When they saw the empty room, they first looked at each other in bewilderment, then their expressions changed, and they all thought of something at the same time:
"problem occurs?"
"That can't be right. The Star Ape King is stronger than us. If there were any signs of a fight, we would probably have known beforehand. So why is there no movement?"
"Let's go look for it."
Ye Ru took the lead and left, and Zhang Dong and the other man followed closely behind, fearing that something might happen to Ye Ru.
Outside Qingcheng, a giant monkey holding a golden cudgel stared menacingly at a man in black robes in the distance, who also exuded a strong demonic aura.
"Who are you, and why did you ambush me?"
Star Ape King struck his golden cudgel and questioned him.
"You are not Ye Ru..."
The man in black robes also looked wary, as if he could sense the killing intent emanating from the former.
"I am a member of the Star Ape clan. Tell me, what are your intentions in seeking out you, sir!"
The Star Ape King gradually released his demonic power. Although the opponent's demonic power was not high, he always felt a dangerous aura emanating from him, so he did not underestimate his opponent.
"Since you are not Ye Ru, then we have nothing more to discuss. Farewell."
The man in black robes hesitated for a moment, then tried to leave. However, the moment he took a step, the Star Ape King leaped away, his golden staff whistling through the air as it slammed down on him.
"Take my stick!"
"Humph!"
Star Ape King's actions seemed to have angered the black-robed man, who snorted coldly and stomped his foot hard. His demonic power exploded in that instant, and a withered hand shot out from his abdomen, grabbing at Star Ape King.
This palm was far more powerful than the Star Ape King's golden cudgel. In just an instant, it knocked the golden cudgel away and finally smashed into the Star Ape King's body.
boom!
Even with the Star Ape King's powerful physique, he felt a gravitational force strike him, and his body was sent hurtling like a cannonball towards a tree in the distance.
Knowing that unleashing all his demonic power would alert the half-saints of Jin, the man in black robes immediately dodged away and disappeared after seeing the Star Ape King injured.
"Who is this guy? How can he be so powerful? It hurts so much!"
Star Ape King got up from the ground, stared at the black dot in the distance with a solemn expression, and muttered to himself.
"Star Ape King, are you alright?"
Soon after, Ye Ru and the other two arrived. Upon seeing that the Star Ape King was injured, a look of vigilance appeared on their faces, and they asked...
