After the Ghost Clan princess left, silence returned to Qi Ling's surroundings, and Qi Ling could only wait for an opportunity while conserving her strength in this environment.
Finally, when the door to the room rang again, someone came in once more. After entering, the person removed Qi Ling's blindfold, and after Qi Ling's eyes adjusted to the surrounding light, she recognized that the person who came was one of the ghost generals she had fought before.
Without saying a word, the ghost general led Qi Ling Qi Ling from the room, then urged Qi Ling to leave quickly.
At this moment, Qi Ling, who came out of the room, finally saw where she was. Unlike the wild tribe she had imagined, this place actually looked like a very distinctive ancient house.
The houses here are all very large, and the architectural style of the rooftops is something Qi Ling has never seen before. Moreover, it seems that the main material used to build the houses is neither wood nor brick, but more like a kind of bone.
Overall, although it is a building with strong folk characteristics, it does not appear rough. On the contrary, it has a special artistic quality. Qi Ling thought that if it were in her own world, it would probably be exhibited as a work of art.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle here." The ghost general behind Qi Ling said in a very deep voice, "This isn't a tourist spot for you!"
Qi Ling chuckled leisurely and said, "Judging by the scenery here, it's definitely not a place for humans, let alone tourists."
"Hmph, sooner or later your world will belong to us." The ghost general sneered, clearly showing that even they disliked the Underworld.
The two passed through a row of such buildings and then came to a tall hall. On the roof of the hall was a huge skull made of bones, like some kind of totem.
Along the way, Qi Ling Qi Ling did not encounter any other Ghost Clan. However, after arriving at this grand hall, she discovered that two rows of tall Ghost Clan stood neatly on either side of the hall. These were the same tall Ghost Clan that had invaded the Douluo Continent world before.
These Ghost Clan were clearly the elite among them, not only were they much taller, almost reaching 4 meters, but they were also wearing certain equipment, making them look quite formidable.
Judging from Qi Ling's insight, this Ghost Clan should be their elite force. Although they are not as strong as these ghost generals, they are not incomparable.
Qi Ling didn't know why these elite Ghost Clan hadn't participated in the war, but if they had, even Tang Hao and the others would probably only be able to barely handle them, and would be at a great disadvantage.
Upon seeing Qi Ling, the Ghost Clan let out a tremendous roar, seemingly trying to intimidate Qi Ling and let this human experience the terror of the Ghost Clan.
Qi Ling watched these guys howling and screaming, and felt a sense of amusement. It was only because his power was sealed that he could show these Ghost Clan what the power of voice acting truly was.
Then, the ghost general behind Qi Ling entered the hall with him. Inside were Ghost Clan like the ghost general, standing in two rows. In the middle of them were three bone seats, each occupied by a Ghost Clan.
Although he looked very different from before, Qi Ling immediately recognized that the Ghost Clan sitting on the throne in the center was the ghost king who had launched the invasion and was the one who had captured her.
Upon seeing Qi Ling, the Ghost King addressed everyone, "Alright, this person is the culprit I mentioned earlier, the one who caused this operation to fail!"
Qi Ling originally thought that he would be convicted and punished here, but to his surprise, after the Ghost King finished speaking, other Ghost Clan spoke up.
"Hmph, to have our plans ruined by a human is a disgrace to our Ghost Clan! I think we shouldn't deal with this human first, but keep him here and see if there's anything more to it!" To the left of the Demon King, a very tall Ghost Clan said, with a huge scar on his face that ran from left to right through his eye and mouth, making him look terrifying and horrifying.
"Hehehe, I think so too. He's just a human. There's no rush to kill him. Letting him live might allow us to learn more." To the right of the Ghost King, a thin Ghost Clan said. He had only a few sparse hairs on his head, along with buck teeth, a hunched body, and twisted limbs. This was the kind of the Ghost Clan that fit the image of a monster.
Clearly, the two Ghost Clan speaking were not allies of the Ghost King, and likely possessed considerable power, which is why they dared to challenge him.
Despite being so offended and even questioned, the Ghost King did not show his anger or joy. Instead, he slowly said, "I will naturally bear the consequences of my mistakes alone. However, elders, don't you share any credit for this?"
"If it weren't for your interference and unforeseen circumstances, which left me short-handed, this war wouldn't have ended in this way!"
"If our Ghost Clan army unites as one and fights together, not even a hundred of these humans could stop us, let alone just one!"
Upon hearing the Ghost King's words, the two Ghost Clan elders snorted coldly, but felt guilty and said nothing more. As the Ghost King had said, they had used despicable means to thwart his plan; otherwise, Qi Ling would have had no chance of stopping the Ghost King's actions.
The best proof of this is that if it weren't for the two of them plotting against him, the Ghost King wouldn't have needed to use his own power to activate that magic array. At that time, Qi Ling would have had no chance of stopping the teleportation portal.
Such a matter, after all, harmed the interests of the nobility, so the two elders understood that it was not a glorious thing, and that continuing to discuss it would only bring them no benefit.
"However, what the two elders said makes some sense," the Ghost King said at this moment. "This human is indeed very special. I have never seen anyone with such vigorous blood and energy. Just sitting here, one can feel the vibrant life force contained within his body."
After hearing the Ghost King's words, the two elders also began to scrutinize Qi Ling, causing Qi Ling to feel a chill run down her spine. She felt like a lamb to the slaughter, being watched by a group of butchers.
Indeed, since these Ghost Clan don't even care about cannibalism, eating people must be as normal to them as eating three meals a day.
As for the energy contained in Qi Ling's upgrade, he knew it all too well. The Blood Devil Blood was considered a sacred elixir, which must have a great attraction for these Ghost Clan.
"Hehehe, now that you mention it, this guy really is a treasure." The skinny Ghost Clan elder said with a greedy look, "In that case, hand him over to me, and I'll let bygones be bygones this time."
"What? Give it to you? Why should I! Do you deserve it?" The other tall Ghost Clan elder said angrily, "Look at yourself! Even if you eat him, what difference will it make? It's a complete waste!"
"Why not hand him over to me? Once I become stronger, Ghost King, I can agree to your request and won't hold this matter against you!"
At this moment, Qi Ling had never felt so depressed. He had indeed thought that there might be a day when someone would fight over him, but he always thought that he would be fought over by several beautiful women. He never expected it to be this kind of monster old man.
