Chapter 228: The True Identity of the Ghost Head
Speeding along on the Huarong Path, the official road in the southern region, Qin Feng couldnt help but marvel at the convenience of the large highway.
When they initially traveled from Jinyang City to Qiyuan City, it took them a whole night to arrive.
Now, it would probably take no more than two hours.
Peng Qing should have already set off for Qiyuan City this morning. With his ability, he will definitely be able to establish the Moonlit Pavilion branch. That way, I can be a hands-off manager and collect money on time every month.
Qin Feng never expected that in his previous life, as a 996 office worker, he would achieve financial freedom at the age of nineteen in this life.
One has to admit, having money feels really good!
Speaking of which, how is that girl who disguised herself as a man now?
Does she still have my ten jars of Drunken Immortal? With the operation of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, the price of alcohol should at least double.
I wonder when that money will come into my hands.
Lost in his thoughts, Qin Feng watched the scenery rapidly changing on both sides of the carriage as it sped along. It felt like just a moment, and the waning moon had changed into a scorching sun, and night had fallen.
Black Charcoal Head found an open space at the foot of a mountain, tied the reins of the horses to a sturdy tree, and turned around, saying, Weve been running all day; the horses need to rest. Tonight, lets stay here.
Qin Feng glanced around. The Huarong Path was not far away, and behind them were continuous mountains. The night wind rustled the leaves.
Fine. he replied and stepped down from the carriage.
A campfire was set up, food was prepared, and the four of them sat by the fire, savoring their meal.
Qin Feng glanced at the other three and felt that eating heartily was more suitable for the current situation.
During dinner, it would be too dull if they ate in silence.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng took the initiative to ask about Black Charcoal Heads experiences in the military.
Xing Sheng swallowed the food in his mouth and sighed with emotion as he recalled those war years.
The chaotic world of monsters, ghosts walking at night, bandits causing chaos, and corpses littering the fields have always been the main theme of this era.
Their Divine Marquis Army had seen too many tragedies during their military campaigns.
Some demons and ghosts could wipe out mountains with a wave of their hands.
Some towns turned into purgatories overnight.
For the common people, just being alive was a major event.
The crackling of the campfire made Qin Feng feel uneasy.
His father lifted his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Under the flickering firelight, the old mans face alternated between brightness and darkness.
Who knows when the human race will usher in an era of peace and prosperity. sighed Qin Feng.
Hearing this, Black Charcoal Head, aware that the previous discussion was somewhat heavy, took the initiative to change the topic, mentioning the famous figures in The Great Qian in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere.
The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower in Capital City, no need to say much. Elusive as a divine dragon, high above on the Heavenly Tower, overlooking the mortal realm.
There have been rumors that if it werent for the National Teachers calculations, the current The Great Qian would be in dire state.
Qin Feng, upon hearing this, deeply agreed and nodded in approval.
Beside him, his Father raised his eyebrow and chewed the food in his mouth.
The old man remained calm, enjoying his drink and meat, quite content.
After discussing the National Teacher, Black Charcoal Head mentioned another prominent figure in Imperial City, the rumored strongest martial force in The Great Qian, the supreme commander of the Demon Slaying Department, the Divine Guardian!
He once killed a formidable beast with an eighth calamity cycle in a single strike, and his strength was unfathomable. To this day, no one knows at what level he has reached.
Qin Feng showed a thoughtful expression. He had naturally heard of the title of the highest position in the Demon Slaying Division the Divine Guardian. However, strangely, even though there were records of the Divine Guardian in the books he had read, there was no mention of his name.
This peculiar absence of information applied to the National Teacher as well, as if there were some deliberate effort to erase their names.
Black Charcoal Head took a sip of wine, cleared his throat, and spoke again, However, the Divine Guardian hasnt personally taken action for a long time. So, most peoples impressions of him remain in the realm of legends. But his two disciples are still talked about.
Two disciples? Qin Feng raised his head.
Father, sipping his drink, paused briefly but quickly resumed his usual demeanor.
The names of those two, young master, youve definitely heard of them, not just heard of them, youve even seen one of them with your own eyes in Jinyang City.
Qin Feng seemed to recall something, surprised, Are you talking about Southern Heavenly Dragon and Northern Ghost Head?
Black Charcoal Head nodded, Exactly, young master. Unexpectedly, the two renowned commanders in The Great Qians history are both disciples of the Divine Commander.
If the head of the Liu family hadnt led the army to fight, drank too much and told the story, I wouldnt have known this secret.
Qin Feng bowed his head in contemplation. His interaction with Heavenly Dragon, the commander of the Southern Domain, was limited to the appointment letter he had received.
But he is very familiar with Northern Ghost Head.
During the disaster in Qiyuan City, when Northern Ghost Head took action, he managed to turn the tide.
Even on their way to Qiyuan City, he intervened to rescue them.
On the night of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, he single-handedly killed powerful and strange-looking demons.
When Jinyang City faced chaos, forces from all sides gathered, and the enemys strongest fighting force appeared. It was also the Northern Ghost Head who stepped forward to force the powerful enemy back.
It must be said that he has quite a favorable impression of the Northern Ghost Head.
Black Charcoal Head said, Actually, if it werent for the invasion of Jinyang City that day and the man in a black robe with a ghost face wielding a knife, revealing the identity of Lord Northern Ghost Head. I wouldve also thought that Northern Ghost Head had died.
Eighteen years ago, Ghost Head went out to subdue powerful demons, and since then, there has been no news. For the entire The Great Qian, it was a great tragedy.
Qin Feng nodded slightly and said, But until now, I dont understand. Since Ghost Head didnt die, why didnt he show up again, even giving up the position of Northern Domain Commander.
You should know that a Domain Commander is equivalent to a first-class military officer. In The Great Qian, they are revered by thousands and possess great power!
The reason Lord Ghost did this, Im afraid only he knows. Black Charcoal Head shook his head and sighed. He held Lord Ghost in high regard.
If the Northern Domain of The Great Qian was still presided over by Lord Ghost, people would probably be much more at ease.
At this moment, the old man who had been silent suddenly spoke, Everyone has something they must protect, and that guy is probably the same.
Thinking of something, Qin Feng asked, By the way, Master, that man who claimed to be the Sword Ghost said that Lord Ghost Head has secluded himself in Jinyang City. You are such a powerful old man, but do you know the true identity of Lord Ghost Head?
You want to know? The old man turned his head and looked with a half-smiling face.
Naturally, the disciple wants to know.
Who would complain about knowing more big shots? Qin Feng added in his mind.
Actually, that person. the old man was about to speak.
Qin Feng and Black Charcoal Head also perked up their ears, attentively listening.
However, at this moment, a violent bout of coughing came from the side.
Dad, are you okay?
Father waved his hand, pointing to his mouth. I ate too quickly just now, and I choked.
Qin Feng showed a disdainful expression, thinking, No ones competing with you, why the rush?
Master, please continue he said.
The old man lifted his wine bowl, glanced at him, and spoke again, The identity of Ghost Head is of such a high level, how could someone like me, an old man, know about it?
After saying this, he emptied the wine in the bowl with a tilt of his head.
If you dont know then why youre being so secretive. Qin Fengs expression stiffened, and he spat out in his mind.
