Chapter 2686: Chapter 2682: Breakthrough of the Entire Southern Realm_1

It turned out to be true.

The Netherworld was so vast, and it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to unravel the Cultivation Methods practiced there. Solely relying on Extreme Yang to break the Undead Ghost Qi might not last the Netherworld long.

To have persisted to this day, the Undead Ghost Qi must have something unique to it.

“The souls of eighteen thousand Extreme Yang creatures have been integrated into the Undead Ghost Qi, making it Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin. It’s not easy to dissolve, but in reality, ghost creatures are incredibly afraid of Extreme Yang things. They hide the souls of the eighteen thousand Extreme Yang creatures in the depths of their bodies. If we can destroy the souls of these eighteen thousand Extreme Yang creatures, it will be much easier to break the Undead Ghost Qi.”

Yang Chen calculated in his heart.

How to draw out and dissolve the souls of eighteen thousand Extreme Yang creatures contained in the Undead Ghost Qi is the key.

In fact, whether to crack the Undead Ghost Qi or not is not important to him because he is not afraid of the Undead Ghost Qi. When the Life and Death Dao Intent unfolds, the Undead Ghost Qi is nothing to him.

But can other humans do the same?

If he can make a breakthrough in this aspect, it would be a breakthrough for humans, and the whole human race would benefit!

Yang Chen wanted to study it further.

But at this time, there was a sudden voice outside: “Mu Heng Ghost General, I want to enter your Ghost Hole and open the door.”

When Yang Chen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

The voice belonged to the nearby patrol team captain, Ye Xi Ghost General.

Ye Xi Ghost General and Mu Heng Ghost General had a fair relationship, but they didn’t hold any grudges against each other, which made Yang Chen ask cautiously: “Captain Ye Xi, why do you suddenly want to enter my Ghost Hole?”

“Not just yours, but everyone’s Ghost Hole. Recently, there has been news from above that a brazen man named Ancient Scar Ghost General dared to monopolize the origin of Evil Qi. As a result, the Enforcement Team is in full pursuit. We will search the Ghost Holes one by one to avoid anyone hiding Ancient Scar Ghost General. Mu Heng Ghost General, if you have a clear conscience, let me search for a bit.” Ye Xi team leader carefully said.

Yang Chen frowned when he heard this.

Captain Ye Xi probably didn’t know his identity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so explicit. Yang Chen let down his guard and slowly said, “Captain Ye Xi, please.”

He opened the Ghost Hole, and Ye Xi team leader transformed into a stream of Ghost Qi and entered the Void.

“Hehe, you don’t have to deliberately greet me by dissolving your body into Ghost Qi. I will leave after searching.”‘ Ye Xi team leader displayed his Ghost Qi state and said.

Little did he know that Yang Chen didn’t dissolve into Ghost Qi to greet him specially. Yang Chen was a human, not a spirit body, and couldn’t do such a thing.

“Captain Ye Xi, I am innocent. Take a close look; I am not harboring any Ancient Scar Ghost General. I don’t even know him,” Yang Chen said with a grin.

Ye Xi team leader heard this and nodded: “Well, I know.”

When the conversation ended, Ye Xi team leader didn’t intend to stay long and hurriedly left to inspect other Ghost Holes.

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are they diligently searching for me outside?” Yang Chen thought to himself.

It seemed that the Ghost Hole was not a place to stay for a long time.

After all, he had changed his identity, but he couldn’t guarantee absolute safety. He needed to leave as soon as possible; otherwise, it would be hard to keep the search from finding him.

He needed to prepare for the worst.

With that thought, Yang Chen wasted no more time.

According to the memories he searched from the Ghost Generals, he also learned some things.

Like the human side, the Extreme Yin Land has tasks that can be taken. Most of the tasks are not demanding, but the relatively safe ones are scarce, require a certain amount of Merit Points, and offer low returns.

Generally, ghost creatures would not take on such tasks. Not only do they have to pay Merit Points themselves, but the rewards are also not high. Who would do it?

These tasks are prepared for those who do not dare to go to the front lines or have no time to go to the front lines.

Yang Chen planned to accept one such task, alongside his escape preparations.

After all, if he went directly to the Northern Region, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion. He needed to find a proper reason to do so.

Nowadays, Yang Chen arrived at the nearby task collection point, found the responsible Ghost Honorable Elder, and looked at the tasks left.

At first glance, Yang Chen was delighted; he was in luck and found a suitable task.

“Go to the Ink Flow Area and deliver an item. However, the requirement for Merit Points will be high.” Yang Chen glanced at it without even thinking, “Elder, I’ll choose this task.”

The Ink Flow Area was in the front half of the Extreme Yin Land, and when he went there, he would not be far from the Northern Region.

“You’re really willing to accept this task? It’s clearly stated upfront that accepting this task requires a deposit of 50,000 Merit Points. The item you have to deliver is a treasure designated by Sky River Ghost Honorable. Afterward, your Merit Points will be returned to you, and you will be rewarded with 10,000 Merit Points, are you sure you want to do this task?” The elder asked in surprise.

Yang Chen thought about nothing, “Yes.”

Many other Ghost Generals saw this and could not help but smirk.

“This kid must have gone crazy!”

“Hehe, I think so too. If he hadn’t gone crazy, why would he think of doing this?”

“Exactly, Sky River Ghost Honorable is not easy to serve. If he fails to deliver the treasure, let’s not talk about the consequences, but only giving an additional 10,000 Merit Points is not worth it.”

“The key is, if you’re not careful, you’ll lose the 50,000 Merit Points deposited, and you’ll be punished. It’s not worth it.”

Other people discussed in great detail.

This made the elder look at Yang Chen and confirm that he had no intention of refusing the task. The elder nodded and said, “Alright, give up the 50,000 Merit Points deposit first, and I will take you to get the item to be delivered.”

“No problem.” Yang Chen took out the Token directly.

Mu Heng Ghost General had accumulated 50,000 Merit Points over many years.

The elder in charge took Yang Chen’s Merit Points and nodded, “Follow me.”

Yang Chen followed behind him and came to a room shrouded with Ghost Qi. Various strange items were stored in the room.

These items were apparently all treasures to be delivered to different places.

The elder in charge didn’t pay attention to the things placed on the floating shelves in the Void. Instead, he reached out and grabbed something from the darkness.

Yang Chen saw a soul imprisoned in a tiny cage.

Although this soul was imprisoned with various prohibitions suppressing it, it still emanated a terrifying aura.
