Overgod Ascension-Chapter 19: Black Mountains

"World of Gods and Ghosts ?"

Wu Ming's face looked ignorant and innocent, naturally, he wasn't stupid enough to admit that he was prepared.

"How is it possible ? It is Flood level difficulty out of a medium world instance, but it still a world where gods and ghosts exists…"

On the other side, Tu Yanghao's crumbled and the face of the cold-faced swordsman and the sarong woman next to Wu Ming was not pretty either.

"Dare to ask this sister, is the Overgod Palace Flood-level Mission difficult ?"

Wu Ming approached the young woman and asked.

"Oh… You can really speak well. This sister's name is Shan Lan, how about you ?"

Obviously, Wu Ming's skin is pretty good. At least, the attribute of his innate charm are quite high which makes it hard for people to feel disgusted. Shan Lan swayed and laughed, adding a bit of feminine style.

"Little Brother is Nameless !" (as to Wuming)

Since the other party has reported a nickname, Wu Ming would do the same.

"Brother Unknown is good !"

Shan Lan chuckled and laughed : "Sister likes you, such a clever boy ! I will send you a message today ! The Desert level is the easiest and Flood is the next. According to the past, it should be a small scene and the difficulty low. The enemy should at most, Innate or Outer Astral Rank 1. There are very few ghost worlds… But now, the difficulty is obviously increased…"

At this point, even a look of worry appeared on her face.

'No wonder Tu Yanghao had such a smug look on his face but now become a hot pot ant. After all, he went fishing with a leisurely mentality and caught a white shark. I wonder what he's feeling…"

Wu Ming was a little flustered : "This change… shouldn't have something to do with me ?"

He had a faint guess, perhaps, because of the jade pendant he brought with him, complemented a part of the Overgod Palace, making the world more real and thus, more difficult.

'So… what is the purpose of the Overgod Palace ? To have fun ?"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed with speculation and loudly said : "Everyone… At this time, the mission sent us to go to Heitai County but there's no time limit. Does this mean that there must be danger on this road, forcing us to move ?"

"This statement is reasonable !"

Tu Yanghao said : "Now… We have to work together !"

As soon as the statement came out, even Shan Lan and the cold-faced swordsman were a little moved, but Wu Ming shook his head : "Thank you very much, but I'm used to be alone !"

Actually refused without any hesitations !

Tu Yanghao heard this and his face was gloomy.

"This friend…"

Tu Yanghao still wanted to say something but surrounded with shady trees, there were sounds of whimper, like a ghost crying !

Whoo !

It was dark and foggy in the morning, the whining sound coming from every directions can make one's scalp numb.

Even within the white fog, there was a dark shadow that was vaguely concealed.

"Solitary Wild Ghost ?!"

A name emerged in Wu Ming's heart but he is not afraid.

After all, in Great Zhou, this thing is inoffensive. Real wandering wild ghosts, at most, makes ghost sounds to scare people and are restrained by masculinity (ED: positive energy ?)and self-control. As long as they've not reached the level of Malicious and Evil Ghosts, it cannot change anything in a major way.

"Hey !"

At this time, among the newcomers who just got up, a young man wearing a Confucian shirt and a square scarf of scribes, like a scholar, stood up and shouted at the ghosts : "Bright daylight, long and bright and other ghosts, don't you recede ?!"

这时候，刚刚爬起身的新人中，一名穿着儒衫，带着文士四方巾，似是读书人的青年便站出来，对着鬼物喝道:“光天化日，朗朗乾坤，尔等鬼物，还不退去?!”

Oh !

His words were powerful and vocal, and he seemingly had an invisible force field expanding.

When the ghost encountered this, it seemed as if cold water had encountered boiling oil; its body screamed and sizzled, disappearing into the darkness.

"Oh ? I didn't expect a gentleman who has achieved Qi of Grand Virtue !"

Wu Ming's eyes brightened.

For these kinds of ghosts, Martial Artist could make a supersonic shout and ordinary people could bite their tongue to extract their blood essence to rebuke the ghost but wouldn't be as good as a Confucian scholar !

Confucianism goes : My noble spirit cultivates Qi of Grand Virtue!

This Qi of Grand Virtue is a magical power unique to Confucianism. If it reaches the stage of Great Confucian Scholar, even a casual drink will make a ghost king run away in fright, demons who cultivate evil techniques feels ill-eased and magic power greatly reduced !

Of course, this scholar was far from reaching this level but he still has righteousness in his chest. He has read many famous works of famous people, went to the Imperial Examinations in Great Zhou and was more than enough to deal with this child's task.

"This young master…"

Tu Yanghao swaggered and a person next to him immediately stepped forward, apparently pulling together.

In any case, a Confucian Scholar who practice Qi of Grand Virtue is quite useful in this ghost world.

"There's something amiss…"

Wu Ming suddenly had a tight scalp and a numb back : "How can there be a Solitary Wild Ghost in this place ? Isn't such thing born out of life and ghosts, land, cities and other gods attracting them ? But here… in such a place ?!"

"Look !"

Shan Lan screamed but in the fog, more and more ghosts emerged, all of them pale and solitary floating on ground.

Even in the center of the ghost group, in the thick fog of the moutain, there was a hint of black air, making a strange smile.

"Malicious Ghost !"

Wu Ming muttered.

If the wandering ghost is equivalent to an ordinary person, then this ghost is at least at the level of elite soldier.

"Home… I miss it so much !"

Before it, the gentleman also turned pale. He knew that his Qi Art would make him clear-headed and cannot invade him, eight or ten wandering ghosts could not get close but the Malicious Ghost is different ! This ghost has Yin Qi, if not consumed, three or five of it will make them difficult to continue and finally surrounded.

A Martial Artist's blood is full of Yang Qi but ridden by Yin Qi, it will make him seriously sick and possibly die.

The mountain's fog was getting thicker and thicker and the steps of the ghosts getting closer and closer.

"Everyone, put yourself together.We should be energetic and united in one place. Under cooperation, these ghosts would not dare to commit and then, use this opportunity to rush out !"

Tu Yanghao said deeply, majestically.

But Wu Ming was silent and suddenly rushed into the fog.

"Is this person a fool ?"

Shan Lan and the others looked at each other but their eyes widened gradually.

Because after Wu Ming entered the fog, the ghosts and even the black gas, retreated.

"Monaticism ?! No, it's Ghost Evading Pill !"

Tu Yanghao exclaimed out loud, envy and regret coming out of his tone.

With his net worth, a Ghost Evading Pill is naturally nothing, but how could he know that when the Mission comes down, it would be the time to buy one ?

Should martial art heart law be improved ? Should the medicine replenished ? There's even items to prevent witchcraft, Gu Technique, Dao Arts and merits to be preserved just in case…

Basically, the conversion to a couple magic talismans to specially restrain ghosts is a bad deal.

Where as such like Wu Ming, who knows the specific information and then target-exchange, would make his few Merit Points put in good use.

"But this newcomer… can they all be changed with special ones that can't control ghosts, your carelessness will make you suffer sooner than later !"

Tu Yanghao sneered in his heart and immediately displayed a sense of righteousness on his face and quickly arranged his formation. The virtuous gentleman did go to the front, a few Blood Oath Alliance people, Shan Lan and the cold-faced swordsman, left and right, rushing into the fog. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"It's quite interesting !"

On the arm of Wu Ming was the Ghost Evading Pill's sachet and looked at the wandering ghosts in off-white color and went deeper, his face thoughtful.

In Big Zhou, the Yin Soul System and there are many types of ghosts but there were no so much wandering ghosts to give his eyes a feast.

At this time, seeing the old and women's numb and pale face, he is afraid (as in I am afraid) that the ordinary people had been fighting a double-stranded war and fled to the wild.

"Malicious Ghost ?"

Wu Ming looked at the black gas in front of him and it was only a little apprehensive about the Ghost Evading Pill on his body. A eager look appeared on his face and he could not help but smile, took a long stripe on his back.

Shua !

The Peach-Wood Sword exuding copper colour, was in his hand. Sneering, he pierced.

Peach Wood Sword can avoid ghosts, coupled with Mortal Body 5th Stage cultivation which is almost four or five folds points of power. The sword shadow was but a flash, with even a trace of dazzling sword light.

"Ah !"

The ghost screamed, its body was stabbed by Sword Qi and the black ash Qi emerged and couldn't converge.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding ghosts retreated and avoid Wu Ming.

"Unfortunately… There is no Merit Points…"

Wu Ming withdrew his sword with deadpan expression, looked behind him and found that he had no idea how far the gang is.

"I don't know how many copies of Heitai County's list there is ?"

Wu Ming ran straight all the way and found that after exiting this layer of dense fog, a small road appeared faintly in the mountains, and after walking for half an hour, there were some people.

"It turns out that it's only way down from the mountain…"

Looking back, Wu Ming saw the huge mountain in the mist, showing a huge shadow as if it was a beast who devoured souls, and could not help but sigh.

At this time, after going down the mountain, there was a dilapidated town in front of him.

Most young men were missing, mostly leaving grey-haired old people; their faces numb and dead.

However, seeing Wu Ming's eyes, he seemed like a ghost.

"The guest is from Black Mountain ?"

Wu Ming walked to the town's center, only to have an old man with cane, trembling in front of him. His old gully face looking nervously at him.

"Exactly… I do not know where it is ? Where is Heitai County ?

Wu Ming asked.

"This place is Black Water Town. If you leave the town, and head east for twenty miles, you will find the county seat…"

The old man leaned over and did not accept Wu Ming's courtesy. He said : "This gentleman comes from Black Mountains. He is presumably not the Black Mountains Envoy nor a stranger to magical arts. How can you disgrace this old man ?"

"Black Mountains ?!"

Wu Ming looked at the black atmosphere behind him, the endless fog covering the sky as if the sun didn't come up all year round but he was still in the the long mountain range. His pupils slightly shrunk : "It seems that this mountain and local are the same existence…"
