Chapter 634: Roasted by Ten Suns, Nüchou (2)

Without a word, the pipa woman stepped into the Gate of Hell.

Jiang Li looked at the remaining five Demon Kings. From earlier until now, the expressions on their faces were extremely interesting.

However, after seeing the scene earlier, these five fellows did not dare disobey Jiang Li’s orders at all.

They were not a match for either Jiang Li or Granny Nether Mountain. Now that they were together, how could they have any room to resist?

Although they were a little nervous and did not know what was on the other side of the Gate of Hell, on the surface, they still actively stepped in.

After passing through this ghost door, they returned to the headquarters that Jiang Li was familiar with.

In the huge and prosperous Netherworld City.

He had not returned for several months. Fortunately, the Netherworld Illusion was still considered safe, and Jiang Li’s luck was not bad. There were no accidents in this city.

The Great Mountain Alliance and Prosperous Jiang Hong were also normal. They continuously sent souls and various supplies to Fengdu City.

At this moment, the ground in front of him wriggled. An old woman with an inverted face on the back of her head appeared.

It was the Earth Spirit of the Back Yin Mountain. After Jiang Li helped her escape, he even found her a job.

With this experienced Earth Spirit tidying up the earth vein, the concentration of spiritual qi in Fengdu City visibly increased by 30% during this period of time.

“City Lord, while you were away, there were many strangers in the city.”

“Eh? This is...? Wait, she’s Granny Nether Mountain! And they’re the Eight Nether Mountain Demons!”

“City Lord, what’s wrong?!”

When the Earth Spirit saw that face, she felt her scalp go numb.

She abandoned her mountain and ran to Fengdu City to start afresh. It had only been a few months since she settled down, but she actually saw that damned face again.

She immediately wanted to escape through the ground, but fortunately, Jiang Li stopped her.

“Don’t worry, she’s not Granny Nether Mountain. She’s the pipa woman now.”

“We’ll talk about other things later. In the future, these former Eight Nether Mountain Demons will be our colleagues in Fengdu City. If there’s anything you need, you can assign it to them.”

“Now, we only need to prepare a few cave abodes for them.”

The Earth Spirit looked at the few people on the Back Yin Mountain in fear. After confirming that they did not want to start a massacre, she barely relaxed.

However, it would probably take some time for her to accept this fact.

Jiang Li did not care about this.

After entering the territory of Fengdu City, he directly controlled the power of the city to move space and move everyone into the Chang Le Underground Palace.

This was the second most important place in the entire Fengdu City, second only to the lower-level Star Tower Space.

In the center of this underground palace, there were five magnificent halls. The Human Emperor’s Hall in the center and the Northern Profound Hall in the north were already taken.

City Lord Jiang Li, Vice City Lord Qin Shuman.

There was also the Northern Profound Hall Master, Qiu Shui, and his deputy Hall Master, Shanting.

However, it was very clear now.

The current successor of the Human Emperor actually sensed the aura of a Connate Human on this ugly female Demon King!

The other party’s entire body was wrapped in a layer of green clothes, and her face was also covered by clothes, causing others to be unable to see her exact appearance.

Jiang Li waved his hand, and a tree root automatically stretched out to remove the cover on the other party’s face.

She resisted this, but she, who had just left her name on the City Lord’s stone monument, was unable to resist Jiang Li’s will.

However, after removing the cover, Jiang Li immediately looked away.

Ugly, she was really too ugly!

Her face, or rather, her entire body was wrinkled and dried up.

It was like a piece of dried meat that had been thrown into the fire to be roasted. The hair on her head had long been burned away, and there were large patches of charred skin.

It was definitely at a level that people could not bear to look at.

Even skeletons looked much better than this.

At first, Jiang Li did not react when he heard the strange name ‘Nüchou’.

Now, after seeing this appearance, a seven-colored rainbow suddenly flashed through his mind. Only then did he finally recall the pictures and words he had casually glanced at in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

However, the name recorded in the “Classic of Mountains and Seas” should be “Nüchou’s Corpse”, not “Nüchou”.

“You’re actually the zombie demon of Nüchou’s Corpse, right?”

Although Jiang Li was asking, his tone was especially firm.

This was because the race of Nüchou had long died.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas stated: “Nüchou’s Corpse was born to be roasted by ten suns. In the kingdom of men, she used her right hand to block her face. With the ten suns in the sky, Nüchou lived above the mountain.”

It meant that the author of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the ancient human Bo Yi, had seen the scene of “ten suns together” in the kingdom of men while following Da Yu to control the flood.

At that time, the mountain that was roasted by the ten suns was the country where the Nüchou Race lived.

One of the branches of the human race, the Nüchou Race, was killed by the ten suns just like that! Their race was exterminated from then on.

Even after they died, their corpses still stood. They covered their faces with their right hands and faced the ten suns proudly.

This was the wanton slaughter of humans by the Demon Heavenly Court in the ancient Primordial World.

This directly led to the subsequent story of Houyi shooting the suns.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Li would actually be able to see a member of the Nüchou Race here today.

Although the other party had already transformed into a zombie demon, she still seemed to be a human.

Jiang Li looked behind her.

Just as the other party left her name on the stone monument, a thread connected to his back.

“Do you have any other clansmen?”
