Chapter 996: Chapter 994: The Great Upheaval
In the villa deep within Hongyun, basically everyone Chu Hao knew was present.
Qin Boren, Liang Qian, Dong Qi, Golden Drought Fiend, Zhang Qun, Mu Yuxun, Mu Yufei, Yue Shanshan, Ma Qingyu and her grandfather, as well as the elderly and children from the orphanage.
All of a sudden, so many people gathered in the villa.
"Brother Hao."
Wang Qi came over, showing gratitude towards Chu Hao.
If not for Chu Hao, he would still be suffering in the Island Country.
"Good job." Chu Hao patted him on the shoulder.
Wang Qi used to be the school’s underachieving little tyrant, and unexpectedly, after the Foreign Ghosts appeared, he resolutely joined the Yanhuang Alliance Army.
Just for this alone, he was a man full of spirit and valor.
"Brother Hao, I toast to you." Wang Qi raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.
Everyone was having a great time.
Chu Hao was also very happy.
Having been away for so long, he finally had a chance to relax again.
With a great battle on the horizon, no one knew when they would gather again, so everyone cherished this reunion.
Tonight, Luo Yan was drinking with Diao Chan, seemingly telling her something, her eyes dazed.
Chu Hao drank with everyone, his heart filled with emotion.
So much had happened in such a short time.
Still, it was nice to get together and relax once in a while.
"Chu Hao."
A clear voice called his name.
Chu Hao turned his head and saw a woman, her face slightly pale and looking exhausted.
"Sister Ya Xiao?"
Chu Hao was ecstatic.
He thought he would never see Ya Xiao again, never expecting her to appear here.
Ya Xiao had been his landlord and was one of the few who had been kind to him in Anli City. He hadn’t seen her since leaving.
When chaos erupted, Chu Hao had thought about finding Ya Xiao again but got sidetracked by too many other matters.
Feeling very emotional, Chu Hao asked, "Sister Ya Xiao, where have you been all this time?"
Ya Xiao’s face was full of pallor, her smile stiff.
"I’ve missed you."
Chu Hao quickly responded, "I’ve missed you too, Sister Ya Xiao."
Ya Xiao’s eyes misted over as she said, "Chu Hao, I’m sorry."
Chu Hao froze.
"Sister, what are you saying? How could you have wronged me?"
Ya Xiao seemed to be in great pain and urged, "Ah-Hao, run."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ya Xiao’s clothes became drenched in blood as she slowly collapsed to the ground.
Only then did Chu Hao notice the gaping blood hole in Ya Xiao’s back, where her heart had been dug out from behind!
Who did this?
Chu Hao’s face turned ashen as he stared blankly at Ya Xiao’s corpse.
Everyone in the villa looked over, their expressions changing dramatically.
Chu Hao crouched down, holding tightly onto Ya Xiao’s body; she was already dead.
"The human heart is truly fragile."
Above in the night sky stood a young man, very handsome with well-defined features, exuding an air of elegance.
The newcomer was one of the generals of The Fourth Netherworld Ghost.
Gu Mu.
Gu Mu looked on indifferently and said, "You are too fragile. Compared to us, the pain you endure is nothing."
Gu Mu, the top genius of the Xuan Yuan Academy within the Ancient Taoist Civilization.
It was rumored he was the strongest among Lin, Tai Yisheng, and Yan Zhongtian!
Yu Sicheng quickly urged, "Quick, collect her ghost."
Chu Hao snapped back, using his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils to see that Ya Xiao’s soul was already gone.
"Don’t bother; it’s right here."
In Gu Mu’s hand was a faint soul, the spirit of Ya Xiao.
Gu Mu tauntingly said, "Do you know what your greatest weakness is?"
"It’s emotion."
"The heavier the emotion, the greater the obstacle it becomes in your life."
Everyone gritted their teeth.
Chu Hao placed Ya Xiao’s body down and looked at Gu Mu in the sky.
"Do you want to die?"
Raging fury.
Chilling killing intent.
Chu Hao had only one thought: to kill Gu Mu.
Gu Mu shook his head, saying, "I didn’t come here to fight you."
Chu Hao glared at him coldly. If it weren’t for Ya Xiao’s soul being in his hand, the Heavenly Ghoul Laser Cannon might have already been aimed at him.
Gu Mu tossed Ya Xiao’s soul toward him.
Chu Hao was taken aback and quickly caught it, using Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils to see that Ya Xiao’s soul was unharmed.
If she was unharmed, that was good enough.
Gu Mu said, "Chu Hao, you have indeed startled The Fourth Netherworld Ghost because of your presence. Some plans have had to be expedited prematurely."
"The time you have left is short. Enjoy the remaining moments slowly."
With that, Gu Mu’s body slowly merged into the air.
Chu Hao rushed forward, but still couldn’t keep him.
Was Gu Mu here to intimidate him?
Chu Hao couldn’t quite see through Gu Mu and the other four.
Lin was saving his people.
Yan Zhongtian was seeking the truth.
And Gu Mu, what was his reason?
He carefully protected Ya Xiao’s soul. As long as the soul was intact, she could be resurrected.
...
Three days later.
A news report sparked a global shock.
The Foreign Ghost Army began its counterattack.
The Fourth Netherworld Ghost took over a news department.
The Fourth Netherworld Ghost went public for the first time, capturing the world’s attention.
A tall, middle-aged man in a black trench coat with slicked-back hair appeared on the screen. With just one look, Chu Hao knew this wasn’t the true body of The Fourth Netherworld Ghost.
The Fourth Netherworld Ghost had the ability to embed his avatar in any person and then live as that person.
"I am The Fourth Netherworld Ghost, but I prefer to be called Green Demon."
Green Demon spoke into the camera.
"Times are changing. Some things are destined to be eliminated. Only with the arrival of a new era can the world flourish."
"Starting tomorrow, those who surrender shall witness the dawn of the new era."
"Those who resist, shall die."
"Thus, the new era begins."
With Green Demon’s disappearance from the camera, the report caused a massive global upheaval.
In the meeting room of the Seventh District.
Su Huansheng had a grim expression.
"Leader, what exactly does The Fourth Netherworld Ghost want to do? Does he really want to change the world?" someone asked, puzzled.
Su Huansheng took a deep breath, "This is just a ruse. He wants to turn the whole world into the Yin and Yang Realm, to eliminate ordinary humans."
Ghost Sword Dust asked, "What does he ultimately want to achieve by doing this?"
Su Huansheng looked grim and said, "A vessel. He wants to turn the Yang Realm into a vessel. Yang energy is a resource, and in that way, they can achieve the true purpose of coming into the Yang Realm."
Turning the entire Yang Realm into a vessel?
It’s like raising livestock.
Fatten them up and then slaughter!
Soon, the Seventh District received news.
"Vampire City in M Country has rebelled and joined the Foreign Ghost Army."
"News from M Country’s Ghost Domain has also arrived, they’ve joined the Foreign Ghost Army."
"Bad news, M Country has launched a nuclear bomb, bombing Vampire City!"
Even Su Huansheng showed a change in color.
Humanity had finally turned to nuclear weapons.
In a mere instant, Vampire City was laid to waste.
How long has it been?
The Fourth Netherworld Ghost’s new world concept hadn’t even been enacted, and numerous forces had already begun killing each other.
Su Huansheng murmured, "Sometimes, it’s not others who destroy humanity, but...!"
"Themselves."
Global turmoil ensued, with some wars gradually breaking out.
There was no need for The Fourth Netherworld Ghost to even intervene.
Various ghosts, fierce ghosts, and evil spirits were being unleashed.
