Capítulo 1520: Chapter 666: Gou Li Breaks the Demon Sect! Xiuning Collapses!
“Your Majesty, when the fourth brother went to reincarnate, he left behind a ring, known as the Ring of the Ghost King.” The spiritual remnant of the Ghost King said, “This ring contains considerable energy, and it also has a very complex and mysterious energy array that continuously engulfs the dark death energy of the heavens and earth. Even if its energy is exhausted, it will be replenished over time. Moreover, once you wear that ring, many of the remnant forces of the Ghost King Empire will recognize you as their master, though you should not hold too much hope. Because back then, the fourth brother established the Ghost King Empire based on force and desire, not on people’s hearts. So much time has passed; I do not know whether these people will still be loyal to the Ghost King.”
At this point, Lanling immediately thought of that gigantic jellyfish whose immense spiritual power imprisoned the second Xie Li. After the Ghost King Empire disbanded, it found a cave to reign suprem and had long since cast the Ghost King Empire out of its mind.
“However, the four Ghost Generals were adopted sons and daughters of the fourth brother, and these four individuals are extremely loyal to the Ghost King Empire. Additionally, although the Rakshasa Ghost Mother has died, Your Majesty avenged her and cleared her of unjust charges, so she is also very loyal to the Ghost King Empire.” The Ghost King’s remnant said, “If you can find these five people and they are still alive, they will be of great use to you.”
As he spoke, the spiritual remnant of the Ghost King was already very dim.
“My Majesty, I am truly reluctant to leave; I really want to follow you to create a world-ending enterprise. Please do not forget the fourth brother, remember to awaken it…”
The spiritual remnant of the Ghost King extended its hand, wanting to touch Lanling.
Then, its image completely dispersed into dust and vanished.
Immediately afterwards, the tomb of the Ghost King beside them also completely faded and disappeared.
Everything around them, all images, turned to dust and vanished.
Lanling’s soul returned to his body, and he opened his eyes.
He was already back in the ruins of Misfortune Demon Capital, back by the side of Gou Li.
Looking down, he found a ring in his hand.
This should be the Ring of the Ghost King; the ring’s body was actually made of black iron. It looked very ordinary, not appearing particularly luxurious.
The Ghost King was once immensely wealthy, and not just gold, but even rare materials like dragon gold were nothing to it.
However, it cherished black iron the most.
Not only were the armors made from black iron, but even weapons and rings were made from it. Perhaps it preferred the color black.
At this moment, on the face of the Ghost King’s ring was a cluster of blue ghostly flames, flickering with astonishing energy.
This Ghost King Ring should count as a secondary energy reservoir. Once one’s own energy is exhausted, they can use the energy within this ring to launch attacks.
And once the Ghost King became extremely powerful, he presumably almost never used the energy within this ring.
So, the energy inside has been stored for countless years and should be exceptionally strong.
Feeling the formidable energy within the ring, Lanling could not help but envision the figure of the Ghost King in his mind.
At this time, his impression of the fourth-ranking Hell Knight was incredibly profound.
Loyalty, strength, intelligence, filled with imagination.
These qualities made this person extremely charismatic.
And such a person turns out to be his most loyal subordinate.
I wonder whom it has reincarnated into now? Which character in the Dragon Temple?
With the fourth brother’s (the Ghost King’s) abilities, intelligence, and personality, it is certain that they can climb very high within the Dragon Temple. Of course, they might not even know their own identity.
After all, what he infiltrated was the Dragon Temple, the most powerful, most dangerous force in this world.
Any clue will expose his flaws, let alone the fourth brother being the mortal enemy of the Dragon Temple, whether as a Hell Knight or as the Ghost King.
To be honest, Lanling still doesn’t know how this fourth brother managed to infiltrate the Dragon Temple, how they reincarnated and cleansed themselves.
After infiltrating the Dragon Temple, they had to deceive even themselves to deceive the Dragon Temple’s upper echelon.
Therefore, the spiritual remnant was always emphasizing, urging Lanling to remember to awaken it.
“Aww…” Suddenly, the Chimera Beast beside him let out a roar, then used its paw to nudge Lanling, reminding him to pay attention to Gou Li beside him.
Lanling looked up and found that Gou Li was still petrified, unmoving.
After entering the Netherworld Rift created by the Ghost King, Lanling almost died, severing his energy connection with the Death Samurai, causing two hundred Death Knights to instantly immobilize, turning into the living dead.
But Lanling’s soul soon revived, and all the Death Samurai revived with him.
Only Gou Li did not, remaining immobilized there, untouched, as if dead.
“Gou Li…” Lanling went to push her delicate body.
Attempting to feel her heart’s energy, its operation was normal. Content originally comes from ɴovelfire.net
But, just remained unmoving.
The reason was simple, Gou Li believed Lanling had died, so her soul also died.
When Lanling’s soul “died,” all the Death Samurai souls died along with it, becoming the living dead. However, they died passively, so when Lanling’s soul returned to life, they revived with him.
However, Gou Li… died actively.
That is, when she saw Lanling die, she immediately died with him, accompanying him in death, instead of waiting for the energy connection to end before dying.
