Chapter 2068: Ghost King!
Long Qie’s shouts made Yao Da and the others very unhappy.
However, no matter how unhappy they were, deep inside, they felt a profound sense of helplessness.
The power of Xiao Zheng left Yao Da and the others not knowing what to do at all.
Facing Xiao Zheng with their abilities, there was only a dead end.
Even though they were all doing their utmost, they still struggled to turn the tide.
Seeing Xiao Zheng easily slaying dozens of ghost creatures in the blink of an eye, a trace of fear appeared in the eyes of Yao Da and the others. They simply couldn’t imagine how a person’s strength could be as abnormal as this.
In just two short minutes, over a hundred ghost creatures were all slain.
A large majority of the ghost creatures died at the hands of Xiao Zheng, and after he had killed them all, he even seemed a bit unsatisfied: "Hmm? Are there no more ghost creatures to kill? Your stockpile is lacking, I haven’t even warmed up, and they’re already all gone."
Hearing this, the corners of Yao Da and the others’ eyes twitched, not knowing what to say.
These ghost creatures had been painstakingly cultivated by them, and now they were all killed by Xiao Zheng and Long Qie, causing their hearts to bleed.
Seeing Yao Da and the others silent, Xiao Zheng then spoke again, "Forget it, there’s no point in continuing, Long Qie, are you going to act or not? If you don’t, I’m going to kill them all."
Upon hearing his words, Long Qie was instantly anxious, "Don’t be so hasty, at least leave one or two for me!"
After saying this, he seemed genuinely afraid that Xiao Zheng wouldn’t leave him anyone, hurriedly wielding a sharp axe and charging towards Yao Da and the others. Although his fighting strength wasn’t as strong as Xiao Zheng’s, he was among the top when it came to short stature.
As Long Qie charged into the crowd, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The giant axe swung, cutting down a person in just a few moves!
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily at the sight and also joined in.
With his addition, the battle became even easier, and Yao Da and the others had no power to resist. It could simply be described as crushing and instant killing.
In a mere ten seconds, there was only Yao Da left alive on the side of the Ghost Raising Family!
This was still Yao Da’s intentional doing, and if they wanted, Yao Da would already be a corpse lying on the ground!
Plop~
Xiao Zheng casually tossed a corpse to the ground, his gaze then falling on Yao Da.
Feeling his slightly teasing gaze, Yao Da was initially stunned, then involuntarily shivered.
Seeing this, Long Qie’s eyes were filled with disdain.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t kill you yet. You still have some use to me, so you’re safe for now."
"But after you’ve used me, I will still end up dead!" Yao Da said through gritted teeth, coldly.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "If you don’t want me to kill you, that’s possible too. As long as you obediently cooperate and answer a few questions, I promise not to kill you."
"Is what you say true?" Yao Da asked, somewhat incredulous.
He hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng to actually promise not to kill him.
Xiao Zheng gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Of course I’m telling the truth. I have no need to lie to you, you’re not worth deceiving in my eyes."
Though the words were hurtful, they were not wrong.
Yao Da was well aware of his standing in Xiao Zheng’s eyes. Swallowing hard, he forcibly calmed himself and said, "Alright, as long as you promise not to kill me, I can cooperate with you."
His straightforwardness surprised Xiao Zheng and Long Qie.
Xiao Zheng had intended to talk more or even use force, but he hadn’t expected Yao Da to be so cowardly.
With a chuckle, Xiao Zheng said, "Since you agree, I hope you won’t lie. If I find out you’re lying, I’ll kill you without hesitation."
"Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Da quickly nodded emphatically.
Xiao Zheng didn’t waste any more words and directly asked, "Tell me all about the Ghost Raising Family. How many bases like this one do you have in total?"
Hearing his question, Yao Da wasn’t surprised.
He had already guessed the kind of questions Xiao Zheng would ask, so without any hesitation, he said, "Our Ghost Raising Family hasn’t been established for long, less than a hundred years. It’s a complex entity made up of many surnamed families."
"The Yao Family is one of them, and then there’s the Lin Family, Tian Family, Wu Family, and so on."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown, "How can there be so many people with different surnames? Since you call yourselves a family, you should all have the same surname, right?"
"By rights, a family should all have the same surname," Yao Da said bitterly, "But we’re more complex because we split from the Corpse Chasing Sect, and we were all once disciples from all over the country."
"Calling us a family is more like calling us an organization."
"It’s just that the name Ghost Raising Family sounds nicer, so it became widely used."
After hearing his explanation, Xiao Zheng and Long Qie understood a bit more.
Xiao Zheng then continued to ask, "Within your organization, how are the relationships between different surnames? Do you know the gathering places of other surnames?"
Hearing this, Yao Da said, "The relationships between different surnames are decent, but not particularly good. If there’s a mission, everyone will act together. However, outside of missions, there’s not much interaction."
I see.
Xiao Zheng nodded, a hint of a smile appearing on his lips.
No wonder since Lin Yi and the others died at his hands, it had been so long without any movement from the Ghost Raising Family. It turned out they don’t interact closely.
In simpler terms, the Ghost Raising Family is slightly more cohesive than a pile of loose sand.
"So, does that mean even you can’t find the other surnames’ gathering places?" Long Qie asked.
Yao Da nodded and said, "That’s indeed the case, but I have their contact information."
To save his life, he shamelessly betrayed his companions.
Long Qie had Yao Da report all the contact information, saving it in his phone, and then continued, "Since your relationships aren’t close, what if there’s a dispute over the division of spoils during missions?"
"That can never happen because the entire Ghost Raising Family is actually under the control of the Ghost King!" Yao Da replied with a serious tone.
When mentioning the "Ghost King," a deep respect appeared in Yao Da’s eyes!
