She didn't summon the Ghost Child!
Although she persuaded the emperor with the help of Beiyu and others to declare his allegiance to Jiangnan, she never intended for the Underworld to directly cross the North Sea and connect to the North Sea City!
Yes, she didn't let Jiangnan start the war, but when Ghost Child came, he told her that the entire Battle God Army had marched to North Sea City, and the two sides were already engaged in fierce fighting. It seemed that the other side knew that Jiangnan would make a move, as there were four or five Earth Mother alone, and a Heavenly Python comparable to True Dragon Breed.
The battle was extremely tense. The Underworld was opened, and countless evil spirits, as if they had been told to, piled up at the North Sea. There were at least billions of them!
Ziyue knew then that she had been tricked.
The Ghost Child was forced to activate the King Xiang Palace; it was out of necessity.
It wasn't him who sent him, because he had never been back.
The Ghost Child should know all this. I analyzed the situation with him. After he was forced to open King Xiang Palace, he went silent and didn't respond no matter how I called him. So I thought I would wait for Chen Qing to arrive and then find a way to contact the Ghost Child.
But the Ghost Child showed no intention of contacting him and simply destroyed the central hall on its own.
This action can only be commanded by Chen Qing, meaning that Chen Qing can contact the Ghost Child, but others cannot.
This means the Ghost Child's consciousness hasn't disappeared, and it still maintains considerable control over King Xiang Palace. But why?
Did Ghost Child not notify him?
Why wasn't Chen Qing notified? Is there something wrong with that King Xiang?
When I first Ghost Child, I analyzed the entire situation and repeatedly warned Chen Qing not to be fooled. Why did I still take action?
Did Ghost Child betray us?
No.
Ziyue realized something even more terrifying: it wasn't betrayal, but that everyone had been outmaneuvered!
That guy from the Xiao Household family is more complex than I imagined!
No one held back. The players from the Four Great Guilds knew they only had one chance, because once King Xiang reacted, even if he didn't make a move, just by not controlling the Spirit Ghost, their side would suffer heavy losses.
The multicolored magical artifacts shone brightly, each carrying terrifying power, and directly attacked King Xiang.
At this moment, no one had any worries, and they didn't even care what the Spirit Ghost would do to them after King Xiang death.
Chen Qing wasn't surprised by this, because he had questioned it when he was making the plan.
The answer is: Leave it to fate!
Once the Black Lotus Lamp is activated, its concealment effect will be maximized. Even if King Xiang is killed, the speed of the Spirit Ghost can only take down one of them. The others, with their own magical artifacts, can instantly hide a thousand meters away. Under the concealment of the powerful Black Lotus Lamp, the Spirit Ghost will have no chance of chasing them from a thousand meters away.
Therefore, King Xiang, only one person will be killed by the Spirit Ghost.
As for who will be eaten by the Spirit Ghost, no one can predict that; leaving it to fate is the fairest approach.
Before they came, everyone agreed on a plan: to kill King Xiang, they had to go all out; no one could retreat until King Xiang was dead!
This technique is designed to ensure that no one holds back their power, and that no one deliberately withholds their strength out of fear of Spirit Ghost.
It sounds like a fair approach, but for some reason, when it really came to this, Chen Qing's intense unease grew stronger and stronger!
Something's not right.
But at this crucial moment, he could no longer hold back!
boom!!
There were sixteen people in total, sixteen different forces surrounding King Xiang, all carrying a determination to kill. But at this moment, King Xiang was looking at the sky, not even glancing at the people around him. His face was extremely cold and hard, as if he didn't take them seriously at all.
Chen Qing's pupils contracted, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. He could only unleash his full power with the Divine Wind technique, using his strongest move, the final one of his three sword techniques.
The feeling of unease quickly came true!!
A powerful, incomparably majestic roar soared into the sky, higher than the phoenix and deeper than the black bird. Chen Qing recognized it immediately—it was the voice of the Golden Crow.
After all, he had become completely accustomed to the oppressive power of this force through his several encounters with the eldest princess.
But compared to the Princess, this time the Golden Crow's cry was a hundred times more powerful, and its oppressive force was terrifyingly strong, vaguely reminiscent of the feeling he had when he first met the East Sea Dragon King.
An earth-shattering force descended from the sky, and the entire space seemed to melt under this terrifying power, as if the sun had fallen. A sense of apocalyptic catastrophe swept over us, and in the blink of an eye, the first few players to make a move were reduced to ashes!
The others reacted a little slower, adjusting their strength to resist, but their fate wasn't much better. They were either devoured by the backlash of the spell or directly shattered in their full-force confrontation with the Golden Crow Flame.
In that split second between life and death, Chen Qing's mind became frighteningly calm, just like the state he had when he was brought to near death by a boss countless times. He felt as if everything in the world had become overwhelming, including his own breathing!
The emperor from the Xiao Household was stronger and more cunning than expected.
This was a trap. Everyone knew he was no ordinary person. After all, when he ambushed and killed the Dragon Mother, everyone realized that this NPC emperor of the Xiao Household was not an ordinary NPC, but an extremely dangerous figure!
Even so, no one would have imagined that this guy could be so dangerous as to kill them all in a direct confrontation!
Godspeed!!
At this moment, Chen Qing did not hesitate. A flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and the next instant, a bolt of lightning swept into the storm around him. Combining the Divine Wind Technique, Chen Qing's speed was exaggerated to the extreme, almost directly distorting space!
Chen Qing's goal was neither to escape nor to retaliate against the suddenly rising Xiao Household family head, but to charge towards King Xiang regardless of everything!
" Chen Qing!!"
At the crucial moment, Ziyue finally arrived, but in that instant she knew she was too late!
She was too late to stop Chen Qing, and too late to explain to the Ghost Child.
The Ghost Child is fake!
The Ghost Child that reunited with me and listened to my explanation of everything was a fake.
The real Ghost Child is avoiding itself because it has begun to doubt itself.
This is not surprising. The Ghost Child was not particularly intelligent to begin with, and he had a history of attacking Liuzhou from behind. It was only natural that he would be wary of him. Therefore, after taking control of the King Xiang Palace, the real Ghost Child never contacted him once. This is why he never realized that the Ghost Child he met at the beginning was a fake!
He shared his analysis with the fake Ghost Child, but the real Ghost Child, wary of him, contacted Chen Qing directly!
She had considered the possibility of betrayal by the Ghost Child, but it was impossible. The Ghost Child was willing to use his own flesh and blood to open up King Xiang Palace for the sake of Jiangnan; how could he possibly betray Chen Qing?
If the Ghost Child hadn't betrayed him, why didn't he warn Chen Qing, and instead helped Chen Qing take action?
There is only one possibility: the Ghost Child has never seen him once since he came to the Northern Wasteland, and the one he saw was something in disguise.
That makes sense!
As for who could impersonate the Ghost Child so convincingly that even she couldn't recognize them, she guessed it in an instant.
The Five Great Misters are Mr. Heavenly Secrets, Painted Skin Mister, Mr. Origami Wudu, and Mr. Five Poisons. There is also one more, whom the King of Qin spent a long time searching for, even having Mr. Heavenly Secrets calculate, but still couldn't find: Mr. Myriad Forms!
So that guy had been by the emperor's side all along?
Chen Qing
Ziyue watched Chen Qing's final move, and her breath caught in her throat.
Is that it? Did we lose?
