Wang Kefan, having experienced much in life, couldn't fathom what this fellow wanted. He smiled at the guy, a mischievous glint in his eyes, understanding that some things were beyond his power to give, as he hadn't brought any spirit money when he arrived.
Thus, Wang Kefan was unable to provide what these beings desired.
When this fellow saw that Wang Kefan wouldn't offer him any tribute, the phantoms of the Wang family's ghosts, group after group, surrounded Wang Kefan. A somber expression flashed across each phantom's face.
These phantoms were utterly unreasonable, and there was nothing to be done about it. After all, this place in the underworld was far more malevolent than any other. As long as you passed through here, they would definitely demand a toll. If you couldn't give them what they wanted, regrettably, you would be killed by them.
The leading phantom, wearing a pointed hat, pointed the object in his hand at Wang Kefan's nose and cursed, "Brat, you want to pass through here without paying the toll, you're asking for death, damn it."
The fellow was furious now, having received nothing of value and seeing Wang Kefan looking at him with displeasure. The fellow appeared to be in a great rage.
Naturally, his temper would be bad because Wang Kefan didn't take him seriously. He was the one who didn't take others seriously; how could others not take him seriously? Therefore, this fellow was extremely furious.
The phantom wearing the pointed hat held a triangular long board. If it struck a person, they would surely be injured, but they wouldn't die from it.
Therefore, one must never offend this fellow, or you might very well die. After much thought, the most direct and effective method was to surrender. But Wang Kefan would absolutely not surrender to this fellow. He was well aware that if he surrendered to him, it would mean complete compromise.
Wang Kefan appeared very anxious, as he didn't know what would happen to him next.
The phantoms grew in number, surrounding Wang Kefan so tightly that not a drop of water could get through. If he continued forward, he would never be able to reach Wangjiang Terrace.
This damned thing, these old fellows, were truly quite annoying. He actually had the nerve to challenge Wang Kefan, but he didn't know that he was already on the path to death.
Perhaps it was due to shared misfortune, or perhaps because he didn't know what to do next, someone appeared before him. This person had saved him at the entrance a long time ago. His name was Li Longji. The appearance of this person made the phantom wearing the pointed hat extremely displeased. He had thought that in this situation, he could easily and happily deal with Wang Kefan, but he was dreaming. He hadn't expected that Wang Kefan could surpass him and completely disregard him.
Such an action made him extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. This was because Li Longji knew his weaknesses. If they continued to fight, he would be completely exposed. Wang Kefan would absolutely not give him any way out. If you can escape, escape immediately; do not linger here.
The phantom wearing the pointed hat immediately ran towards the outside, but before he had gone halfway, Wang Kefan stopped him. Wang Kefan would never give him any opportunity. He knew in his heart that giving others an opportunity was cruel to oneself. No matter what, he would not easily let the other party have his way. Therefore, when Wang Kefan ran to block the phantom's path, the phantom wearing the pointed hat was furious, cursing Wang Kefan as a scoundrel and a bastard.
"I know you're angry, but what good is anger? If you have the guts, fight me."
"Brat, you only know how to hide in the village entrance. If you have the guts, let me pass..."
The fellow was enraged, but it was useless. Wang Kefan would not let him pass. He knew in his heart that letting this fellow pass was cruel to himself. He would absolutely not leave cruel matters for himself. Exterminating the roots was Wang Kefan's necessary method. When being ruthless, he would absolutely not leave any friendly matters for the other party.
Li Longji glanced at Wang Kefan, smiled, and then disappeared into the crowd. Of course, he had repaid Wang Kefan's kindness and could no longer linger here. This was because the phantom wearing the pointed hat had many companions, and in the next moment, he would surely resort to insidious means, so one must not be careless.
Immediately, some ghosts who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth wanted to use this road to rob Ye Tiancheng and attack him on this road, wanting to reach their desired destination.
Those ghosts truly thought too highly of themselves, not realizing that intercepting you on this road would come at a great price. If Ye Tiancheng wanted to go to that place, he had to quickly clear the obstacles on this road to reach Wangsi City quickly. Only by passing through Wangsi City could he reach Wangxiang Terrace.
The place he had to pass through to go to Wangxiang Terrace was filled with all sorts of obstacles. These obstacles would directly reveal themselves. Now, all the ghosts that could block Ye Tiancheng appeared before Ye Tiancheng.
They all wanted to take advantage of the situation at this moment. Ye Tiancheng had no choice. If he had a choice, being so foolish at this moment, to do what others couldn't do, would surely come at a heavy price. Even with the price paid, there might not be any reward.
"It's simple if you want to leave here: you have to crawl under my crotch, otherwise, I absolutely won't let you pass. I think you should have thought this through clearly." The white ghost mocked Ye Tiancheng.
The person who said this was a fellow who didn't look like a ghost at all. The reason he was engaged in this endless battle with Wang Kefan was that he wanted to eat Ye Tiancheng, because Ye Tiancheng's flesh was different from others.
I glanced at this fellow just now, which made people laugh. The laughter was very forced. The reason for looking down on this fellow was entirely to mock him.
Why he thought this way was entirely because in his heart, there were many, many rules that others couldn't know. Because on this road, many people wanted to intercept Ye Tiancheng, and the most important thing was that by eating Wang Kefan's flesh, one could become braver and more powerful.
One could obtain what they desired, so this fellow, swarming forward, was eager to cause trouble.
"I advise you to let me pass and not stand in my way, or you will regret it." Ye Tiancheng shouted sternly.
Ye Tiancheng angrily chased after a ghost, but the fellow ignored him, completely disregarding him. The reason for this was that he believed he could defeat Wang Kefan and secure a comfortable life for himself.
These people actually didn't take Ye Tiancheng seriously, completely thinking he was kind and approachable. This truly echoed the old saying, "If you don't court death, you won't die." But these people were completely courting death.
Wang Kefan couldn't help but feel that the funniest people in this world were precisely these kinds of people. If time were limited, it could be completely expressed as a thought for the present moment, indicating that you were not taken seriously.
The funniest people in this world are those who are too arrogant. Why did this fellow look down on Wang Kefan? It was entirely because he thought Wang Kefan was a kind and approachable fellow who could be disregarded. This was the first time he had ever seen such a person, and he looked down on him with contempt.
"I advise you to get out of the way. Haven't you seen the precedent set by your predecessors?"
But the other party simply refused to budge. He felt an urge to hit him. This was like poking a hornet's nest.
The white ghost looked at Ye Tiancheng and thought he was truly the funniest guy in the world, daring to point fingers at him. Did he really not know that the more he did this, the more he would incur their wrath?
Perhaps he didn't understand at all that their world of ghosts was completely different from the human world. Some people always liked to see complex matters as simple, not knowing that they had already committed a great taboo...
The further Ye Tiancheng walked, the more obstacles he encountered. Now he finally understood one thing: some guys cannot be forgiven, and some guys must be dealt with properly to teach them a lesson.
But in reality, some people simply don't like others to treat them kindly; they always like to do things that are laughable, thus creating many jokes.
Can you not mock these fellows for not taking themselves seriously? Didn't the phantom wearing the pointed hat teach them a lesson before? To be fooled by oneself is intolerable.
There are too many people in this world who take risks for profit. Now Ye Tiancheng finally understood this infuriating reality. Therefore, talking too much is useless. What is useful is to use the strength in your hands to prove your power. Therefore, one can only use their fists to clear the path.
Let these fellows give up completely. Therefore, at certain times, fists are the most useful things. As long as your fists are strong enough, these fellows will never dare to be so troublesome again. Ye Tiancheng could no longer tolerate these guys blocking his way.
He became very angry, wishing he could strike the fellow to death with one blow. The glories these fellows were so proud of all erupted at this moment, of course, for the best plan and the worst outcome. Ye Tiancheng didn't expect this fellow to look down on him so much, completely disregarding him. The anger in his heart was as deep as the sea.
"Kid, don't be too arrogant on my territory, or you'll die a hundred times over."
Unexpectedly, this fellow dared to threaten Ye Tiancheng. He truly had the ability and courage. Seeing someone dare to threaten him, the others all laughed. Most of them thought he was useless and wanted to mock him.
Unexpectedly, sometimes your good intentions are met with mockery. He quickly thrust the short sword in his hand towards him...
But there were no consequences, nothing more than startling those fellows. Next, of course, was Ye Tiancheng's moment to shine. Their weapons kept falling to the ground, one after another, which was quite laughable. I think I've waited a long time for this moment. To think that someone would mock him at this time, he truly was a fool.
Recently, have you ever dreamed that one day someone would appear before you and be so powerful? When their eyes were dazzled and they wanted to counterattack, they found that it was impossible this time.
After the white ghost was killed by Ye Tiancheng, the remaining ghosts were completely unable to resist.
"It seems that resolving it with force is the best method." A new way of thinking began to emerge in his mind. These fellows, it must be said, were too fond of relying on force.
A world that relies too much on force is nothing more than the Yellow Springs Road. This is the best place to demonstrate such things. Therefore, even in such a place, if you encounter all sorts of unfair things, you can only use your fists to explain. Thinking of this, we can arrange for someone to mock oneself. Truly, a scholar encountering a soldier has no reason to explain.
Sometimes, one should not appear too refined, otherwise, people will ride on one's head and defecate. Now, in this place, his self-deprecation was simply a painful past.
Some people spend their entire lives without achieving anything. When they have such an opportunity, some people will ride on their heads and defecate, making it impossible for them to escape from this environment. They are always spinning in circles within this environment.
What Ye Tiancheng wants to help the most now is Xiao Liuzi. Why does he want to help Xiao Liuzi?
The reason is that he wants to obtain the most powerful item as quickly as possible – the Ghost Heart.
What is a Ghost Heart?
Of course, it is a refining material for alchemy. This refining material is very rare. Generally, it is produced by a type of ghost called a rotten ghost. Rotten ghosts are generally not in Wangsi City, but in places like the Yin River.
Why do they appear in the Yin River?
This is still a matter that is very difficult to explain in words.
After all, it is a past event that is very difficult to describe. Ye Tiancheng naturally finds it inconvenient to say, so this is a past event.
Speaking of which, in the underworld, in his territory, some people were enthusiastically doing bad things. Why were these fellows doing bad things at this critical juncture? The reason is that they want to maximize their profits.
Some things, for Ye Tiancheng, are a blatant challenge, but for others, they are things that can be easily accomplished.
Just during the time he disappeared from his city, those evil forces began to stir. They all wanted to swallow Ye Tiancheng's property and completely eliminate his existence.
In this way, it would be as if everything of theirs was exposed to the eyes of others.
Why did these people want Ye Tiancheng's property so much?
Naturally, they wanted to replace Ye Tiancheng's presence in this world.
It's ridiculous, they racked their brains to gain a basic sense of presence in this world... but they don't know that I, Sun Dasheng, will not agree first!
Although Ye Tiancheng had left this place, he had entrusted everything here to Sun Dasheng. Naturally, the back mountain area was managed by Sun Dasheng, and Sun Dasheng would absolutely not let anyone encroach on this area.
Therefore, even if he was pointed at, Sun Dasheng would absolutely not compromise.
In the town, it was naturally his territory, Fatty. Fatty would absolutely not let other hotels' businesses snatch his business.
Therefore, in his view, he would absolutely not let others snatch his business. As long as someone tried to snatch his business, he would kill them. This was something that could not be shown any mercy.
In other words, if anyone dared to have such thoughts about his business, it would be the end of their eighth generation. This was something he had told Xiao Pang and Sun Dasheng before he left, hoping that the two of them would guard the business in his absence and wait for his return.
Sometimes, some people truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and they insist on confronting him at this critical juncture. Therefore, one can only say that he is very unlucky and very unfortunate.
It is precisely this kind of person who makes me feel a sense of disdain in my heart. Regardless, I have been able to reach today thanks to my own tenacious will and ability. At this moment, I no longer feel that heaven has ever wronged me. Sometimes I owe this world too much, but this world owes me nothing at all. Therefore, why does he have such extraordinary achievements today? Is it not a gift from heaven?
What others think and what others do has little to do with him. But what he himself does and thinks is definitely related to himself. Therefore, Ye Tongcheng has many, many things that others cannot know.
It is precisely because of such thoughts that he is grateful for heaven's gifts and heaven's trust in him. All these thoughts burst out at this moment. Although he has completely made those people dare not say anything to him in this place, he always feels as if he has a lot of unspeakable trembling feelings pressing on his heart, like an indescribable, terrifying bad premonition. Although he wants to obtain that Ghost Heart.
Why must he obtain the Ghost Heart? It is entirely because he wants to face the alchemy called Ghost Heart Pill.
Sometimes, one's desires are too strong, and they often bring unnecessary trouble and unforeseen dangers. People are constantly challenging themselves, and on this path, they are drifting further and further away from their former friends, because once they embark on this path, there is no turning back. The only way is the only way; the only choice is the choice.
Sometimes I am very annoyed and want to say something to make myself feel happy. I don't know what to say, and I don't know what to do. Many dark, heart-wrenching things have arisen in my heart.
Some people are constantly pursuing the ultimate pursuit, always emphasizing changing themselves, changing into another form, which will always bring different consequences. It is precisely because of this kind of cruelty that they constantly make the path of others' progress darker and more brutal.
The darkness that Ye Tiancheng's heart is currently experiencing will surely not be resolved by any means to complete this mission that he finds so hateful.
Because he wants to reach the peak of martial arts, he must obtain the realm he desires. Regardless of what others do, he must reach the martial arts peak he dreams of. For him, it is a fatal temptation. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng must reach this realm, must achieve this realm. For him, he can no longer bear it.
Just as Ye Tiancheng felt a vague sense of unease, someone suddenly appeared before him and blocked his path.
This person was clad in a red battle robe and ancient armor, with a bronze helmet on his head. His eyes could not be seen, and his entire face appeared dark and featureless. This kind of person was clearly a very ferocious vengeful spirit. In ancient times, he must have been an executioner who had killed many people.
Ye Tiancheng naturally felt an insurmountable feeling towards such a powerful fellow. Perhaps it was precisely because of this insurmountable feeling that he mustered his spirits. He had originally thought that after defeating the white ghost, his path would be smooth and he would encounter no more obstacles, but he did not expect that shortly after leaving, he would encounter another vengeful spirit blocking his way.
This fellow lay in front of Ye Tiancheng. He did not speak, but his gaze truly conveyed Ye Tiancheng's meaning, which was self-evident. Ye Tiancheng smiled, his expression appearing very strange. No one understood why he suddenly smiled, why he smiled so brilliantly.
"This road was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass this road, leave your toll money..." Just as Ye Tiancheng thought he wouldn't speak, this fellow suddenly spoke. This made Ye Tiancheng feel inexplicable. He had thought he was mute, but he didn't expect him to actually speak, which made him a bit bewildered.
Therefore, some things are not as you think. If you speak according to the facts, you will definitely ruin your worldview. Seeing this strange fellow, Ye Tiancheng really wanted to go up and ask him what was going on, but sometimes fear arose in his heart. Ye Tiancheng thought to himself that he must not be the kind of person who is greedy for money; he must possess something that others cannot understand.
When there is no other way, one can only rely on their past experience.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng walked up to him, smiled, and said, "I don't think you are the kind of person who is greedy for money. In your heart, there must be something that others cannot understand. For example, becoming a peak powerhouse and cultivating ghost arts."
