2007

"Can you beat them?" Cavendish asked.

"What do you think?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile that was not a smile.

"Definitely!" Karwendish said.

"I have never fought with them before, but I believe that there shouldn't be any problems. Only the Spirit King is the strongest person in the entire City of Fear, and I have never seen the Ghost King, so I do not know how strong he is, so if possible, I suggest that we enter the Ghost Temple during the day, and that the Ghost King is not allowed to be outside, and that way, it would be much easier for us to enter the sealed area. To be honest, I do not want to get involved with the Ghost King in the city. " Xu Taiping said.

"This... Mr Xu, I forgot to mention before that the best time to enter the sealed area is at 12 o'clock at night. " Kavan and Dixu said somewhat awkwardly.

"Huh?" Xu Taiping looked at Karwendi in shock, "Say that again?"

"I've checked the documents, the time to enter the sealed area is only 12 o'clock at night. In other words, we can only enter the Ghost Temple at night." Karwendish said.

"What you're saying is that we can't avoid the Ghost King and Ghost Generals no matter what, right?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Precisely, yes." Cavendish nodded.

"Very good, very good!" Xu Taiping gave a thumbs up and said, "Now we can face seventeen Ghost Generals and a Ghost King!"

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to face them." Karwendish said.

"Oh? "Why?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because, I heard, in the past few days, the City of Fear has been re-electing the Ghost King, whoever can defeat the Ghost King, can become the master of the Ghost Temple, and enter the Ghost Temple, becoming the new Ghost King. If you can defeat the current Ghost King, then the Ghost Temple will be yours, which means, you only need to face one Ghost King!" Karwendish said.

"Just these few days?" He knew that the City of Fear would elect the Ghost King every once in a while. In a place like the City of Fear, whoever was strong enough would have the right to challenge the Ghost King.

Yes, just these few days, I've arranged for people to enter the City of Fear to gather some information. It's said that the Ghost King has already killed three challengers in the past few days, and no one is going to challenge him now. If no one challenges him in another day, he can continue to be the Ghost King. Karwendish said.

"Then wouldn't I have to stay in the City of Fear as well?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked.

"That's not necessary, after you change your appearance, you can take down the Spirit King and live in the City of Fear. After that, we can open up the seal and take away the God Slaying Sword. I won't specially come out to catch you and make you the Ghost King. " Karwendish said.

"Now that you put it like that, this method does work!" Xu Taiping nodded, "We'll see about that later."

"That's fine. Anyway, you have to remember this, the time to enter the sealed area is 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock at night!" Karwendish said.

"En!"

A few hours later, the train entered a small northern European city.

Then, Xu Taiping and his men changed their appearances and got out of the car together.

There was already a car waiting outside the train station. Xu Taiping and the others got on the car and headed towards the north.

At this time of winter, the further north one went, the colder the weather became and the more desolate the weather became.

It was more than a hundred kilometers from the train station to the City of Fear. After about fifty kilometers, there were no asphalt roads, only dirt roads instead.

He looked over the side of the road and could only see mountains in the distance. Close by, there was a wasteland.

At some point, it was snowing outside the window, and the wind was blowing.

The wind didn't blow too hard at first, but as they headed north, it grew stronger and stronger.

The wind continued to blow against the windows, creating loud sounds. In addition, as the wind blew through the cracks in the window, it sounded like the howls of ghosts, causing people to feel very uncomfortable listening to it.

The eldest cousin brother nervously curled up his body and said, "Why is the wind in this place so strange? Why is there a sound from the wind?!"

"This might have something to do with the terrain here." Xu Taiping looked out the window and said, "However, it might be related to the ghosts here. After all, this place is very close to the City of Fear. There's no guarantee that the ghost from the City of Fear will fly here."

"Bro Xu, don't be like this. Since you're saying this, I'll take a taxi back later." The eldest cousin said excitedly.

"However, this is indeed a huge market." Xu Taiping said seriously, "There are all kinds of vicious people gathered here, I've stayed here for a while, because this place is too desolate, and also too terrifying, so, even the arms dealers don't want to sell their weapons here, and their demand for weapons is huge, so, if you can overcome these difficulties and start a business, you'll definitely be able to make a lot of money!"

"Let's hope so!" The eldest cousin slightly trembled and said, "I also felt that this place should have some business to do, that's why I came here."

Xu Taiping smiled, but didn't say anything.

As the car continued onward, it was only 10 kilometers away from the City of Fear. At that moment, the car suddenly came to a stop and the car died!

"What's going on?!" Cavendish asked.

"I don't know either. The car suddenly turned off." As the driver spoke, he tried to start the car again, but it was all in vain.

The car wouldn't start at all.

"It's possible that the wind and snow were too strong, which might have caused the car to have problems with its power system. I'll go down and take a look." The driver opened the door and got out. Then he walked to the front of the car and opened the hood.

The snowstorm continued to blow against the windows of the car. As the car's engine was turned off and the heating system in the car was disrupted, the temperature of the entire car plummeted. At this moment, the snowstorm suddenly became much stronger!

After checking the car, the driver returned to the driver's side, opened the door and said, "Boss, the car is broken. We have to walk to the City of Fear."

"Walk?" "Such a heavy snowstorm, how do you expect me to walk?"

"If we don't go, the temperature inside the car will quickly drop to zero, and all of us will freeze to death!" the driver shouted.

"Let's go." Xu Taiping said, "The blizzard won't stop for a while, and our bureau has less than 10 kilometers to go. If we walk a little faster, we should be able to get there in an hour."

"This blizzard is too heavy. Why don't we wait a bit longer?" Karwendish said.

"What if it's not small? In a few hours, all of you will die except me. " Xu Taiping said.

"Then... "Then let's go." Kavan and Dixu said helplessly.

After that, the person in the car wrapped everything to keep the car warm before opening the door and stepping out.

Ye Zichen didn't know that once he opened the door, the wind and snow hit his face, and the wind actually caused him to feel pain.

"Why is the blizzard so heavy, it's too scary!" The eldest cousin said excitedly.

"Move forward. Everyone, hold on to this rope to prevent yourself from losing it!" Xu Taiping shouted as he held onto a rope.

Soon after, everyone grabbed onto the rope.

Behind Xu Taiping was Mi Jia Lie La. One of her hands was holding onto the rope, while the other hand was tightly holding onto Xu Tai Ping's clothes. Behind Mi Jia Lie La was Kavan Di, behind Kavan Di was Big Cousin, then behind was Duanmu Hua Ze, while the one in charge of the back was the driver.

Xu Taiping led the group to the City of Fear.

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger.

The skinnier ones, such as Mikaleira, were almost blown away by the wind. If it weren't for the rope, Mikaleira would have already been carried away by the wind and snow.

The wind was much stronger than the normal tropical storms.

Even though Xu Taiping was leading the way, it was still very difficult for everyone to advance.

Just at this moment, two pillars of light suddenly shot out from behind Xu Taiping and his group. Following that, a deep engine sound could be heard coming from afar …

A truck slowly arrived beside Xu Taiping and the others.

"Get in." The truck driver rolled down his window and shouted to Xu Taiping and the others.

The driver looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a bushy beard under his nose and a cigar in his mouth.

Xu Taiping looked at the back of the truck. Behind the truck was a container. The door of the container was closed, so he couldn't see what was inside.

"Get in." "It's too cold, the wind is too strong!"

"Okay, get in the car." Xu Taiping nodded. Although this car appeared a bit too suddenly, but … It was better to be able to sit in a car than to walk. Xu Taiping didn't care if something bad would happen to him. With him here, nothing bad would happen to him.

The group climbed onto the truck.

Behind the driver's seat of the truck was a large enough space for a lot of people to sit in.

The heat in the truck blew away the chill.

"Are you going to the City of Fear?" the driver asked as he drove.

"Yes." Master, you're going too? " the eldest cousin asked.

"Yeah, I'm here to deliver supplies to the City of Fear." The driver laughed, "Every year, I would come across people like you who want to go to the City of Fear. However, the snow outside the City of Fear is too scary, many people's cars will get damaged on the road, your cars must have gotten damaged on the road as well, right?"

"Yes sir!" The eldest cousin nodded and asked, "Master, what kind of supplies does your car have?"

"Deliver meat." The driver said with a smile.
