Chapter 367: The Ghost City That Materialized Out of Thin Air
Lu Heng casually uttered the words without paying excessive attention to his choice of wording.
However, after he uttered these words, all the ghost cultivators present felt a stir within their hearts.
Rebuilding... the realm of the netherworld? Rebuilding?
This word, it is filled with profound meaning.
You Yue and her two sidekicks exchanged a glance, each understanding the thoughts reflected in one another's eyes.
However, now is not the time to discuss this.
You Yue, dressed in the imposing cloak of the Ghost King, hurried forward and anxiously said, "The Wolf God, a major event has occurred in the netherworld, and we are all incapable of dealing with it. Therefore, we have no choice but to disturb The Wolf God in order to seek your guidance."
On You Yue's face, there was a manifestation of restlessness and unease.
Seeing even the mighty Ghost King losing composure, Lu Heng also became aware of the unsettling circumstances, his expression growing solemn.
"What has happened? Please explain in detail," Lu Heng spoke up, "If I can be of assistance, I will certainly not refuse."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, You Yue turned her gaze towards the nearby city under construction and said, "What does the Wolf God think of that city?"
Lu Heng turned his head and glanced once again at the framework of the distant city, nodding as he remarked, "Grand and magnificent, well-organized and structured. It truly showcases everyone's efforts, and I am deeply impressed."
Unaware of You Yue's intentions regarding the city, Lu Heng responded based on his initial impression.
However, after Lu Heng finished speaking, You Yue shook her head with a bitter expression and said, "If You Yue were to inform the Wolf God that the city in question is not being constructed by us, and has no connection to us whatsoever, what then?"
You Yue's words caused Lu Heng's brows to furrow once again.
"Oh? It's not built by all of you? Then, is this grand city simply materializing out of thin air?" Lu Heng asked.
You Yue nodded and said, "Indeed, it does seem to have appeared out of thin air... Four days ago, an illusion of a city suddenly emerged on that deserted wilderness."
"At the very beginning, it was just an elusive and ethereal illusion, devoid of any sense of reality."
"But after one day and night had passed, the illusory image of that city gradually transformed into reality. As of now, it has taken shape, forming a rough framework."
"According to this pace, in approximately three more days, this phantom will completely solidify, and the entire city will materialize out of thin air."
The majority of ghost cultivators in the Chakravartin Palace are wizards from the Fire Pass Country, and they have rarely visited the Youxiong Country to the north.
The remaining non-wizard ghost cultivators mainly come from the South Sea nations located further south than the Fire Pass Country.
The Youxiong Country to the north, although they have heard many stories, it was the first time they heard the eerie legend of the Zhuxian Town.
After hearing this, all the ghost cultivators were left speechless, overwhelmed with astonishment.
After all, what they had encountered this time was more than just a legend.
The terrifying corpses of divine spirits wandering in the city, ancient battle swords forming sword formations to annihilate the divine spirits... These horrifying things now seemed to be right before their eyes!
And there is a great possibility that three days later, it will turn into a catastrophic disaster and descend upon them!
In a moment, all the ghost cultivators became somewhat startled.
Even the Lord of the Chakravartin Palace, You Yue, can only maintain the most fundamental composure with great difficulty at present.
While she was the highest in cultivation level among those present during her lifetime, she could barely reach the realm of innate, making her one of the weakest among innate cultivators.
Even after death, she received the empowerment of the Lord of the Chakravartin Palace, causing her strength to skyrocket within the realm of the Netherworld.
However, if she were to directly confront those terrifying and bizarre ancient malevolent spirits, she still lacks confidence.
After all, according to the legends, whenever the Earthly Catastrophe arrives, those perceived as formidable innate cultivators by ordinary people are nothing but struggling ants.
Meanwhile, the malevolent spirits lurking beneath the Zhuxian Town are able to withstand the Earthly Catastrophe, remaining undefeated. Even the imperial decrees of the Human Emperor cannot fully suppress them, and it is unknown what horrifying entities they conceal.
The impending upheaval of the Zhuxian Town, three days from now, will be nothing short of a catastrophe for this recently recovering Netherworld realm!
Before the Chakravartin Palace, a multitude of spectres appeared bleak and a chilling wind howled.
Lu Heng gazed upon the despairing countenances of the ghost cultivators, feeling somewhat helpless, and said, "There is no need for such despair before the impending crisis. Lu Heng will not idly stand by, but will undoubtedly provide full assistance."
Although the things lurking beneath the Zhuxian Town are indeed terrifying, Lu Heng, on the contrary, is the least afraid of such malevolent entities.
Regardless of how terrifying the malevolent spirits may be, as long as they attract heavenly thunder, they can be swiftly annihilated.
Whenever Lu Heng considers this aspect, his mood immediately becomes much more tranquil.
"We shall first go and assess the situation of this city," Lu Heng said in such a manner.
