Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 351 - 137: Yama of Ghost Street, Layers of Traps, Breaking Out of the Game

Chapter 351: Chapter 137: Yama of Ghost Street, Layers of Traps, Breaking Out of the Game

You need to know that besides you, there exists a more powerful, yet also more terrifying entity that is cooperating with us.

But they are not of our kind, their intentions must be exterminated.

That being is different from you; it possesses not a shred of humanity.

Compared to it, we would much prefer the future to be under your control, rather than its.

However, presently, within our sect, the majority revere it as supreme.

Because it is powerful enough, because its power is precisely the key to our sect’s plan.

Forgive my boldness, you... do not yet possess such power."

"Then how do you want me to cooperate with you?" Yan Yu asked.

"You need not do anything, so as not to draw its attention, and we will guide you at the appropriate time, helping you... to gain control of more."

Yu Wen was respectful and polite.

"I need not do anything... then, what are you worried I might do?" Yan Yu asked again.

Yu Wen said, "Since you have no plans to do anything, please continue maintaining as you are, in the future... we will bring you more good news."

With that, he bowed deeply once more and then smiled, saying, "If possible, please produce more human skin handcuffs; it is truly a good product."

Yu Wen slightly bowed to the black mist before the window and then chose to retreat.

On the serpent-like winding path, dimly lit, Yu Wen’s figure gradually faded into the distance as he walked away.

Lady Yan silently watched him, then withdrew her gaze to quietly stare at the vacant spot not far from the grocery store...

There, Xiaozhao once used to play.

The door creaked open again, bringing a new guest.

Lady Yan glanced over and immediately saw the visitor’s "whole life," simultaneously making the judgment "villain."

Since it is a villain, let them be.

However, after this villain bought things with life, the grocery shop would naturally gain ghost coins, but those watching from the street corner would also obtain items.

"A more powerful, yet also more terrifying existence, huh?"

"Its power is precisely the key to the Lotus Sect’s plan."

"Is this power the very thing that drives one mad, entangles them in sin, lights a path to the netherworld, and leads people into the netherworld?"

"Lianyi House... Shouyi Ghost, Human Head Lantern, Pool Ghost..."

"Having me do nothing, is it because they’re worried I might... do something to ruin their plan?"

"In other words, I have the capability to disrupt their plan."

"So..."

"They came to stabilize me."

Lady Yan has never been naive.

She glanced at the once warm and gathered family scene in that empty place.

That is what she wants to protect.

And nurture my young as well as others’ young, care for my elderly as well as others’ elderly.

Under the bridge with frozen bones, hungry bodies by the roadside, the wailing carried by the lake wind, those faces with tears moved her deeply.

This... red dust world, the lights of ten thousand homes, are all things she wants to protect.

This world should have good rewarded with good, and evil rewarded with evil.

...

...

"She hasn’t stirred, nor plans to do anything; it seems she won’t affect our plan."

"Did she sense it?"

"No...

And even if she did.

We have ways to restrain her."

"First deceive her, and when the time comes, she will just be nourishment anyway.

The future of this world needs only one... a god of the underworld."

In the depths of Ghost Street, within Zhong Mansion, there was secret discussion.

One of them was Yu Wen, who had just walked out of the grocery store.

At that moment, a different voice came from the side.

"Since she is more humane, why don’t we choose her?"

As the words fell, Yu Wen and the others around laughed.

Yu Wen looked at the red-robed man speaking, saying, "Old Zhong, how have you not progressed after living so many years?"

This red-robed man was the Mansion Master of Zhong Mansion, surnamed Zhong, but without a given name, thus called Zhong Wuming.

This Zhong Wuming was also a Believer of the Black Lotus Sect.

"Old Zhong, have you been stuck in here for over a century and become dull?" A voice chimed in that seemed insulting yet was friendly in essence, "We’ve already cooperated with the National Preceptor and the Emperor.

Our goals have aligned... even within this mansion, there are many from the National Preceptor’s faction.

Has it come to this, and you want us to turn against the National Preceptor and then cooperate with Yama?

Yama is no match for that being; if she appeared a hundred years earlier.

No, even just decades earlier, we might truly have cooperated with her.

But now, we can only deceive her, appease her, to prevent her from discovering something and thus ruining our plan."

"Oh~~~ I see." Zhong Wuming showed a sudden realization, nodding frequently like a fool.

...

...

Rustle!

The black-brick white-tiled Black Market Ghost Realm has always been forbidden to the living.

And a white shadow was just appearing by the wall, the shadow looked at the man sitting on the stone bench for rest on the side of the Black Market road, calling out: "Husband, sorry for the wait."

Li Yuan looked up and said with a smile, "Not waiting long."

He looked at his wife.

A black robe, skin showing the pale texture of death, yet only pale, without that rotting taste, thus carrying a peculiar charm.

"Cui Huayin told me, she speculates that the Emperor and the Lotus Sect have aligned goals, hence their cooperation.

And their goal is to enhance the Ghost Realm, thereby improving the quality of the Meat Field, leading to more abundant resources, thus cultivating stronger High Grade Martial Artists.

The Lotus Sect believes that with High Grade Martial Artists, they can suppress the Ghost Realm.

The Emperor believes that with High Grade Martial Artists, he can rejuvenate the Great Zhou.

Both parties think that instead of letting the Ghost Realm strengthen on its own and the world deteriorate, it is better for them to take initiative and promote this process." Li Yuan spoke eloquently, in fact, he often visited this place to find Lady Yan, so he was quite familiar with the conversation.
