I, Chu Xinghe, Am a Martial God!

The exact number of spirit stones spent on repairing the seal on Ghost Valley was so high that Chu Xinghe couldn't even calculate it.

All I know is that the Civil Engineering Department students haven't been crying while eating in the cafeteria these past few days...

This gives you an idea of just how terrifying the consumption is.

With such terrifying energy consumption, shouldn't the Misfortune Compass be spinning like a propeller?

It's been three days since I returned to the Vast Heaven Sect... and the Misfortune Compass is still slowly spinning...

There's absolutely no difference from before!

Are you trying to fool me with your Misfortune Compass?

While Chu Xinghe was suffering from a headache due to the Misfortune Compass, a turbulent situation was unfolding outside.

This time, Chu Xinghe invited the White Tiger to repair the Ghost Valley, and almost the entire Demon Race, except for a very few groups, sent their gratitude to the Vast Heaven Sect.

Even the various sects of the Blazing Sun Continent had to admit that the Vast Heaven Sect was truly acting out of righteousness!

However, nothing is absolute. Although the vast majority of forces approved of Chu Xinghe's approach of expending Vast Heaven Sect resources to help various parties, some discordant voices still emerged.

Some say that although Chu Xinghe's restoration of Ghost Valley seems like a good thing, isn't Chu Xinghe supposed to be a master strategist?

Aren't you supposed to be imaginative and unconventional?

Didn't you always ensure that the Vast Heaven Sect never suffered losses?

But what about this one?

How much of the Vast Heaven Sect's resources did you, Chu Xinghe, waste because of the Ghost Valley incident? Didn't you promise that every move you made would be a huge profit?

Your undefeated streak, Chu Xinghe, has been completely shattered in this round!

And not only did you lose, you lost completely. You all say Chu Xinghe valued righteousness, right?

Where did Chu Xinghe demonstrate any sense of righteousness?

Chu Xinghe's restoration of Ghost Valley was actually just to earn a good reputation for himself, but this good reputation was built on the suffering of others.

As everyone knows, Ma Liang is Chu Xinghe's most trusted confidant.

Chu Xinghe sacrificed Ma Liang for his own reputation, causing Ma Liang to lose the Fengdu Token and thus the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu became a cripple.

Aren't you, Chu Xinghe, supposed to be unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness?

Is this what you call unparalleled benevolence and righteousness?

If you can sacrifice Ma Liang this time, then next time, can you sacrifice Mu Bai? Or the entire Vast Heaven Sect?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe is not the benevolent and righteous person you see at all. He is just wearing a cloak of hypocrisy and is actually a despicable person who doesn't care about the lives of others!

Although the source of this information is unknown, the entire article, totaling over 200,000 words, analyzes from various angles how Chu Xinghe failed and how he destroyed Ma Liang.

The exquisite writing throughout the entire piece even astonished the various shocking departments!

However, some people have come forward to refute this article.

Those who support Chu Xinghe argue that this proves Senior Brother Xinghe's righteousness.

For the sake of all living beings, Senior Brother Xinghe had no choice but to sacrifice even his most trusted confidant, Ma Liang. Wasn't that enough?

In response to the affirmative side's argument, the negative side countered, "Why didn't Chu Xinghe sacrifice himself? Why should Ma Liang be sacrificed?"

Never mind this or that, the point is, didn't Chu Xinghe lose a lot of money this round?

Regarding the outside discussions, Chu Xinghe said, "You're right!"

I'm so damn ripped off... Ma Liang still doesn't know the Fengdu Token can be taken back. I've heard Ma Liang hasn't been as lively as before these past few days...

I, Chu Xinghe, must give Ma Liang a good scare this time...

The problem is that even putting aside Ma Liang, we've consumed so many resources to repair Ghost Valley, plus all those lovely, loyal fans outside trying to smear me, Chu Xinghe, that I've even suffered some damage to my reputation.

Why doesn't the Misfortune Compass move in this situation?

Tell me why?

Just as Chu Xinghe was looking on in confusion, the Misfortune Compass suddenly moved!

This isn't just any ordinary movement!

It spins so fast it's practically sparking!

The wildly spinning Misfortune Compass nearly made Chu Xinghe wet himself!

It's here! The rewards from the Misfortune Compass have finally arrived!

This is about to make Chu Xinghe take off!

As it turned out, this spinning, sparking Misfortune Compass was indeed incredibly powerful. Before Chu Xinghe even react, the power within the Misfortune Compass carried him straight up, from the Subordinate Eighth Rank to the Ninth Rank!

Chu Xinghe, who instantly stepped into the Martial Emperor realm, burst into tears!

This is how Chu Xinghe has finally made a name for himself!

This time, Chu Xinghe has finally taken off!

I, Chu Xinghe, finally succeeded!

I'm going crazy!

I'm so crazy!

I'm going crazy!

Just as Chu Xinghe was excitedly shouting, the power brought by the Misfortune Compass did not disappear, but continued to elevate Chu Xinghe!

Middle Ninth Rank... Ninth Rank Upper...

In an instant, Chu Xinghe took another step forward, entering the realm of Half-Step Martial God!

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded!

Has Chu Xinghe really stood up this time?

Just as Chu Xinghe was lamenting that Chu Xinghe had blessed him and that the heavens were blind... just as this curse of misfortune was being transferred to him alone, the power brought by the Misfortune Compass Chu Xinghe through once again!

Chu Xinghe has made his way to the realm of Martial God!

At that moment, Chu Xinghe seemed to hear... ding! The Martial God Card has been credited to your account!

The Realm of Martial God! I, Chu Xinghe, have finally stepped into the Realm of Martial God!

While Chu Xinghe was yelling and screaming about entering the Martial God realm, Ma Liang sat alone in his room, looking dejected.

Three days have passed Fengdu Token was lost. Although Ma Liang was disappointed, Ma Liang still firmly believed that his Senior Brother Xinghe must have a backup plan.

Although we haven't seen Senior Brother Xinghe's next move yet, Ma Liang believes that Senior Brother Xinghe wouldn't betray him!

And these past two days, White Tiger secretly came to see Ma Liang once... Although he knew Xinghe was just teasing Ma Liang, seeing Ma Liang's dejected state, White Tiger, unable to keep his thoughts to himself, said, "I really can't hold back... I have to say it... I'll die if I don't..."

So, without warning, White Tiger ran over to tell Ma Liang that he didn't need to panic about the Fengdu Token, as Xinghe had a backup plan...

After saying that, White Tiger felt completely refreshed!

Upon hearing this, Ma Liang burst into tears. Sure enough! Senior Brother Xinghe must have had a backup plan!

However, before Senior Brother Xinghe's backup plan arrived, Ma Liang knew he still had some things to do.

First, there's the Southern Branch... I need to inform Lu Chengqing, Lu Chengqing is holding the Soul-Devouring Banner, which was previously bound to the Fengdu Token Soul-Devouring Banner.

Lu Chengqing also used the Soul-Devouring Banner- Devouring Fengdu Token to mobilize the power within the Fengdu Decree to remotely control the ghosts.

Now that the Fengdu Token become part of the Ghost Valley, the Soul-Devouring Banner is no longer useful. Therefore, we must quickly inform Lu Chengqing about the Soul-Devouring Banner's ineffectiveness, so as not to delay some matters of the Southern Branch.

Ma Liang contacted Lu Chengqing immediately using a summons.

After stating his purpose, Lu Chengqing spoke up, "Senior Brother Ma Liang, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'invalid'? It's not invalid! It's been working perfectly all along!"

Ma Liang: "???"

Stunned... Ma Liang was completely stunned for a moment!

What the heck? The Soul-Devouring Banner didn't fail? It can still summon the Soul-Devouring Banner within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation?

Lu Chengqing, what the hell are you talking to me about?

But soon, Ma Liang heard something from Lu Chengqing that made Ma Liang scalp tingle!

Lu Chengqing stated that the Soul-Devouring Banner not only didn't fail... but also underwent a strange change... It seemed that countless controllable ghosts suddenly appeared within the Soul-Devouring Banner. These ghosts were unlike anything he had ever seen before, and each one was ridiculously powerful...

I haven't dared to touch anything since I discovered it these past few days!

Upon hearing Lu Chengqing's words, Ma Liang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets... He immediately had Lu Chengqing use the Flute of Space and Time to rush back to the Vast Heaven Sect.

Upon receiving the Soul-Devouring Banner from Lu Chengqing, Ma Liang, as the true owner of the Soul-Devouring Banner, instantly gained control of Soul-Devouring Banner.

But the instant Ma Liang took control of the Soul-Devouring Banner, Ma Liang was instantly pulled into a world of mist!

Ghosts! Ghosts are everywhere!

Moreover, these ghosts are not only from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation of the past... but also countless Ancient Specter!

When Ma Liang tried to summon the ghosts that had never existed before by holding the Soul-Devouring Banner, those ghosts seemed to be under his control.

In an instant, under the control of the Soul-Devouring Banner, they appeared directly in front of Ma Liang!

Others might not understand the ancient aura emanating from it, but Ma Liang, a peddler who frequently traveled to and from Ghost Valley using the Elder's Teleportation Array, instantly understood what this ancient aura represented!

These are all Ancient Specter!

They are not Ancient Specter that appeared out of nowhere; they are all Ancient Specter from Ghost Valley!

In an instant, Ma Liang understood!

The Fengdu Token became the foundation of the Ghost Valley's array. Under the White Tiger's control, the Fengdu Token enveloped the entire Ghost Valley. Does that mean all the ghosts were gathered together by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation?

Under normal circumstances, the Fengdu Token embedded in the Ghost Valley, so I, Ma Liang, have no way to operate it...

However, the Soul-Devouring Banner and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation are originally one entity, so the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation cannot be manipulated, but the Soul-Devouring Banner can.

With the Soul-Devouring Banner, I, Ma Liang, can not only mobilize the ghosts in the original Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation at any time, but I can even directly mobilize all the ghosts in Ghost Valley!

As long as I, Ma Liang, am strong enough, I can command even the most powerful super ghosts in Ghost Valley, those who can rival even a Half-Step Mystic God!

Ma Liang was so excited he almost peed himself...

Is this the backup plan that White Tiger mentioned for Senior Brother Xinghe?

Who was it that Senior Brother Xinghe was going to sacrifice me, Ma Liang, and turn Ma Liang into a cripple?! You come out here!

From this moment on, I, Ma Liang, am no longer the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu! I am the Master of Ghost Valley!

Senior Brother Xinghe has gone berserk this time! Everyone thought that Senior Brother Xinghe was just trying to help everyone seal off Ghost Valley, but at this moment I, Ma Liang, realized that Senior Brother Xinghe's purpose was not to seal off Ghost Valley at all, but to take over the entire Ghost Valley and give it to me Ma Liang!

From this moment on, there can only be one Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant in this world! That confidant is me, Ma Xinfu!

We don't know how excited Ma Xinfu was, but Chu Xinghe was so excited inside that he almost wanted to tear the house down!

I, Chu Xinghe, the Martial God, have finally waited for this day!

I, Chu Xinghe, the Martial God of War, have finally succeeded!

I Martial God, Chu Xinghe, the God of War... hey hey hey... Misfortune Compass... what does it mean that you suddenly started turning backwards?

My power as Martial God... my power as Half-Step Martial God...

My Martial Emperor power... I am at the Peak of the Eighth Rank...

Please stop forwarding this... I beg you... at least keep this Eighth Rank intact, okay?

Whether it was Chu Xinghe's prayers that worked or not, he barely managed to retain his Eighth Rank...

Chu Xinghe's Martial God Trial Card has expired...
