Chapter 184: Ghost King

“This…” Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t refuse. Therefore, they decided to head out of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain with Liu Xun to face the giant monster.

After the three of them sat down and prepared, they were ready to set off.

“Ah Xue, rest well here. I’ll send the two of them to Crescent Moon Mountain and I’ll be back.” Liu Xun gently caressed Ah Xue’s face as she lay on the bed.

“Okay, my dear. You must be careful. I’ll wait for you here.” Ah Xue smiled.

Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun also spoke a few words. Ah Xue was finally relieved that Liu Xun would go with them.

The two of them arrived in front of the tightly shut stone door.

Under Liu Xun’s control, the stone door opened with a loud bang. The sound of heavy boulders dragging on the ground was heard once again.

The three of them hurriedly walked out.

“But the place where we entered the cave has already been buried by ice and snow. There is no way out,” Jiang Yun asked Liu Xun curiously.

“The two of you don’t have to worry. There is a secret pa.s.sage in the cave that can quickly lead to the foot of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. When outsiders come in, they usually won’t be able to see this secret pa.s.sage,” Liu Xun said as he put on his warrior helmet on his head.

“I see.”

“At that time, this secret pa.s.sage was built to allow our clansmen to directly enter the door to the Divine Region. However, so many years have pa.s.sed and this entrance has been buried all year round due to the violent wind and snow. If it was not for people like us who have walked through this secret pa.s.sage for hundreds of years, it is likely that we would never be able to find the entrance to the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. We can only climb all the way to the top of the mountain.” Liu Xun shook his head.

“When we arrived at this place, we were already prepared to climb the mountain. If it weren’t for the giant monster running all the way up the mountain, we might still be halfway up the mountain.” Jiang Yun couldn’t help but sigh.

“That’s right. If we were to walk up the mountain normally, regardless of whether the road was steep or not, we would need at least a day to reach. Moreover, since the Blood Shadow Sect’s disaster, the weather in the Northern Region has become unpredictable. Many Northern Region clansmen couldn’t find the secret pa.s.sage and tried to climb the mountain directly. They all froze to death halfway up the mountain.”

Liu Xun couldn’t help but sigh when he said this.

It turned out that even the natives of the Northern Region also find it extremely difficult to climb the mountain, not to mention Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun. Although Jiang Yun’s cultivation techniques were extremely powerful, this was still the peak of the extreme cold. What kind of accident would happen, that was something that Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun couldn’t prevent at all.

And this time, they were able to enter the secret pa.s.sage and find the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. Every time they thought of this, the two of them felt extremely fortunate to have found the right path by accident.

“Before the Power of Blood Shadow appeared, wasn’t the Northern Region always windy and snowing like this?” Qin Xiaoxi asked.

Liu Xun nodded. As he said this, he seemed to have recalled something sad. “Although the temperature in the Northern Region used to be extremely low all year round, it wasn’t to the extent of violent and terrifying snowstorms from time to time. Because of the existence of the Dragon G.o.d, we were able to fend off countless dangers. It allowed us to live and work in peace on such a land.”

It seemed that the Frost Dragon was not as evil as the legends had said, and it was not the Frost Dragon that had created the cold winter and extreme cold. Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi could not help but suspect, that the original legend was just a rumor spread by the people of the Blood Shadow Sect.

“What happened after that?”

“When the Blood Shadow Sect invaded, this group of evil people completely broke the original stability and order of this land. The Dragon G.o.d was distracted because of this and could no longer care about the stability of the Northern Region. Instead, he led us into the battle against this group of evil people.”

Jiang Yun nodded and he seemed to suddenly remember the mural on the stone tablet in the hall. The expression of the Frost Dragon on the mural seemed to be very different from the other carvings.

When he thought of this, Jiang Yun hurriedly voiced out the question in his heart.

“At that time, the Dragon G.o.d almost used up all of its spiritual power to create the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. He was also unable to contend with the people of the Blood Shadow Sect. Among them, there was an extremely terrifying existence. That person destroyed the Dragon G.o.d and destroyed all of the spiritual energy in its body.” When Liu Xun said this, his expression began to reveal a trace of fear.

“That person?” Jiang Yun asked curiously.

Could it be that Liu Xun was talking about the leader of the Blood Shadow Sect?

“That group of evil people seemed to call him the Ghost King. All of us who have been on the battlefield, and our front line comrades who had witnessed the Ghost King all died on the battlefield in an instant.” Liu Xun could not help but clench his fists as he said this.

“Ghost King…” Jiang Yun could not help but fall into deep thought. It sounded like this was very likely the leader of the Blood Shadow Sect. Even if it was not, it could be an extremely important person. But after all, three thousand years had pa.s.sed, whether this ghost king still existed or not was unknown.

“Was this Ghost King sealed by the Dragon G.o.d at that time?” Jiang Yun asked curiously.

Liu Yi shook his head when he heard this.

“The Dragon G.o.d’s vitality was severely damaged, and it wasn’t a match for them. The spiritual power that was used to seal at that time were the remnants of the evil aura on this land and the minions of the Ghost King. After that great battle, the Ghost King disappeared without a trace.”

Jiang Yun frowned and looked at Qin Xiaoxi.

It seemed that this ghost king was one of the most important clues about the Blood Shadow Sect. Many people talked about the Blood Shadow Sect but those were just public opinions. Of course, there was one theory that left the deepest impression on Jiang Yun, which was that the Power of Blood Shadow had borrowed the power of the Ghost Realm. This power was beyond any cultivator’s understanding of this world. Jiang Yun had read about the Ghost Realm in various ancient books on the Mount G.o.d of Heaven. This was because no cultivator had ever understood this so-called Ghost Realm.
