Chapter 434: Chapter 433 Human Ghost History The Family Banquet Begins

"Why does it seem like every time I see you, you’re such a mess?"

Shaking his head, Long Jiuri pulled up a chair next to Lu Zixun’s bed and sat down, a smile on his face.

"Ninth Brother."

Embarrassment crept onto his face.

It wasn’t until today, when Lu Zixun mentioned it, that he realized he seemed to be seriously injured every time he met Long Jiuri.

However, feeling the aura emanating from Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun involuntarily took a sharp breath— I-Level.

"The injuries on you are quite severe this time, the Undying have even been roused."

Glancing at Lu Zixun, Long Jiuri could tell his physical condition and narrowed his eyes to ask, "Human Ghosts, Zhenfei actually managed to create them, impressive as always."

The implication of his words startled Lu Zixun.

Which meant Long Jiuri knew about the existence of Human Ghosts and knew well in advance.

Seeing the puzzled looks from the man and the cat before him, Long Jiuri chuckled, "It seems I haven’t mentioned this to you guys before, so today, with time on our hands, I’ll talk about it. You know about the Forgotten Land, right?"

"We do, similar in nature to ruins, but also different."

Xiong Kang nodded and spoke.

"That perception is wrong. Ruins are places dropped from the Forgotten Land, which contains many... well, using today’s terms, would be considered advanced technology."

Pausing for a moment, Long Jiuri continued, "And Human Ghosts are one of those advanced technologies. In the last exploration of the Forgotten Land, Zhenfei found a notebook."

"The notebook recorded the process for creating Human Ghosts, but it only contained half the pages."

"The moment Human Ghosts appeared, the Forgotten Land suffered its greatest catastrophe; the humans within were nearly annihilated by the Human Ghosts."

"The first Human Ghost to appear in the world was extremely difficult to kill and used blood to expand the ranks of the Human Ghosts. Weapons made from Qingyang Iron were needed to kill them."

As Long Jiuri narrated, Lu Zixun’s understanding of Human Ghosts deepened further.

He thought Human Ghosts were already strong, but to his surprise, they were this formidable...

Using the technology of the Forgotten Land, Human Ghosts turned it into perpetual night, significantly shrinking the living space for humans.

Even with the timely production of weapons made from Qingyang Iron, the overwhelming number of Human Ghosts was no longer a problem that could be solved.

Only with the emergence of the artificial sun did the Forgotten Land regain its original appearance.

But with the considerably reduced population, coupled with the prolonged lifespan after becoming Human Ghosts, it wasn’t long before the Forgotten Land was devoid of human life.

The Human Ghosts, with no human flesh to consume and no foresight like the Insect Clan, also faded into the annals of time, plunging the Forgotten Land into deathly silence.

"Ninth Brother, with that said... aren’t Human Ghosts extremely dangerous?"

Xiong Kang, feeling a chill not from cold, looked at Long Jiuri and asked.

"Extremely dangerous, after all, the infected Human Ghosts possess Spiritual Wisdom. But as they consume more humans, they not only become more powerful but also lose their memories as humans. Their perception of humans in their minds becomes nothing more than food."

Nodding slightly, Long Jiuri said indifferently, "But the good news is, the Crimson Land won’t fall into perpetual night mode."

The glory of the Forgotten Land was no more, and naturally, the device that could turn the world into eternal night had disappeared.

Still, within Crimson Land, one-third of the day was cast in darkness, and that was when Human Ghosts could be active.

"So Human Ghosts are not dissimilar to the vampires passed down in human society..."

Muttering to himself, Lu Zixun said, "Crosses and Holy Silver are just Qingyang Iron."

Hearing Lu Zixun’s curious analogy, Long Jiuri thought for a moment and nodded, "You could think of it that way, but Zhenfei’s actions have caused quite the disaster."

A deep and profound look appeared in his eyes as Long Jiuri’s gaze rested on Lu Zixun, "Has Zhenfei been taking a series of actions against Demon Country lately?"

Hearing Long Jiuri ask this, Lu Zixun immediately felt that Zhenfei was going to be unlucky and nodded repeatedly.

"Well, that’s easy to handle. I’ll go catch Shiqian later and throw him into the core area of Zhenfei."

With a slight upward curve of his lips, Long Jiuri said indifferently, "That place is full of Gu Beihan’s fanatic believers. Once Shiqian starts to disturb Zhenfei, they won’t have the mind to target the Demon Country anymore."

Indeed, Zhenfei was going to be unlucky.

At these words, Lu Zixun smiled with narrowed eyes,

Feeling the protection of a powerful figure is damn satisfying.

As dinner time came, it was Lu Zixun’s first time attending a family banquet, and he found it quite novel.

He hadn’t expected that Tang Qinglan, who was still alive, would be so caring towards Tang Rong at the dinner table, just like a real daughter.

And Lu Zixun sat next to Xiong Kang, right beside Long Jiu.

While serving vegetables to Long Ya, Long Jiu occasionally discussed with them the matters of battle for power.

Tang Tianyu, on the other hand, sat next to Bing Xue Ning with trepidation, occasionally serving her vegetables.

The joyous dinner time came to an end.

Seeing Tang Tianyu being called away by Tang Rong, Lu Zixun threw him a sympathetic glance then, ignoring Tang Tianyu’s pleading eyes, turned and went back to his room.

Feeling he could finally move his body, Lu Zixun stretched his limbs and began to cultivate.

The Human Ghost Shiqian had shown Lu Zixun that there were always others stronger and higher heavens beyond one’s own.

Long Jiuri couldn’t possibly appear every single time in time to save Lu Zixun.

Like this time, if it weren’t for his being strong and having various superpowers, he might have capsized in the gutter.

...

"Xiao Xun is leaving?"

Hearing about Lu Zixun’s departure, Tang Rong touched Lu Zixun’s head, showing some reluctance.

"Stay for dinner today and also spend some time with Yaya."

Lu Zixun naturally didn’t want to part with this comfortable and idle life.

However, within the Demon Country, they were to attack Zone 14 tomorrow, and without him, they wouldn’t be able to move an inch.

After repeatedly explaining to Tang Rong that he had matters to attend to and promising to come back in a few days, she finally let him go.

Sweating wasn’t only Lu Zixun, but also Tang Tianyu.

This guy was supposed to be meeting the parents, and who knows what Tang Rong said to him; after coming out, he was grinning like a fool.

"Old Tang, Old Tang? Old Tang!"

Lu Zixun called out three times before the guy came back to his senses.

Looking at Tang Tianyu with some speechlessness, Lu Zixun shook his head, "You’re about to drool, I’m going back to Zone 13 now, do you have any plans?"

"Ah, I need to go to Zone 11 to bring Gu Yue and my parents over."

After saying a word to Lu Zixun, Tang Tianyu unexpectedly said, "I had no idea Gu Yue was actually my aunt’s grandniece."

"..."

This was indeed something Lu Zixun hadn’t expected.

What he really didn’t expect was that Tang Tianyu’s skin was so thick!

He had only met Tang Rong for the first time and was already calling Bing Xue Ning "Auntie" along with her.

Feeling even more speechless inside, Lu Zixun didn’t want to speak with Tang Tianyu anymore.

Leaning on the Night Evil Sword, he said, "Then I’ll go back first. If you run into danger, remember to launch a signal flare. Be extra careful after entering Zone 11."
