Chapter 256 – The One Who Welcomes Ye Sheng!

At first glance, it sounded like some demonic or evil technique, but that was not the case.

In Daoism, the Three Corpses represent the three delusions of humanity: obsession, greed, and hatred.

The Daoist School emphasizes “slaying the Three Corpses,” which refers to eliminating these three delusions.

The “Three Corpses Soul-Hooking Technique,” when used on oneself, can sever these three delusions, thereby clarifying one’s mind and elevating oneself to the realm of unity between heaven and humanity.

When used on others, as long as the target harbors any of these delusions, it can hook their soul and seize their spirit, becoming a sharp and formidable offensive method with endless applications.

Ye Sheng glanced at the Stat Panel for the “Three Corpses Soul-Hooking Technique.”

At level 1, the Three Corpses Soul-Hooking Technique could currently only control the souls of five people.

In theory, as long as the three delusions existed, even a Great Emperor could be controlled.

Of course, this was only theoretical!

A Great Emperor could annihilate you with a single glance, and their divine soul was as vast as an endless ocean. For an ant to try to shake an ocean was undoubtedly a delusional fantasy!

Even the Nine Secrets of Daoism couldn’t achieve this!

Unless one reached the same realm, perhaps one Great Emperor could control another!

“It shares similarities with Spirit Binding and Commanding, but one captures and controls Ghost Creatures, while the other controls powerful human Cultivators!”

Ye Sheng shook his head and stopped dwelling on it. Although the Nine Secrets of Daoism were mysterious and unpredictable, they weren’t useful for now.

Over the next few days, the Void Cruise Ship traversed the endless dark void, heading toward Dongsheng Province.

Ye Sheng stayed in his room and rarely went out, spending his days increasing the Proficiency of his Annihilation-grade Skills. Although it was tedious, each day was filled with a sense of accomplishment!

…

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Void Cruise Ship finally arrived at “Dongsheng City.”

Dongsheng City was the provincial capital of Dongsheng Province and the core of the entire region, with a population of tens of billions and countless top-tier forces gathered here.

The port of Dongsheng City was quite magnificent, with countless ships, passenger vessels, cargo ships, and more docked there.

The Void Cruise Ship was massive and pure white, like a pearl slowly sailing into the port.

“Finally, we’re here!” On the deck of the Void Cruise Ship, Xu Xingchen cheered behind a railing, the sea breeze refreshing his spirits.

Beside Xu Xingchen stood Ye Sheng and the others, gazing at the bustling metropolis with its towering skyscrapers.

Unlike Fengdu City, Dongsheng City was a standard modern metropolis.

“Welcome to Dongsheng City, all three of you!”

Tang Yu smiled warmly. Now that they were in Dongsheng City, he was on his home turf. Compared to his time in Fengdu City, he was noticeably more confident!

Jiang Luo and the others also wore smiles on their faces, as this was their territory.

“Huh, who is this person?” Xu Xingchen pointed at a massive electronic screen and asked.

Everyone followed his finger and looked in that direction.

On a huge screen, news was being broadcast, introducing a young man.

He was a white-haired youth with a cold expression, a fierce scar on his stern face, holding a long spear, and possessing a unique aura!

As the news broadcast played, the figure of the white-haired youth appeared on giant screens throughout the city.

The host was also passionately narrating.

Ye Sheng also looked over, feeling as though the white-haired youth’s eyes seemed to hide mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

“This is the famous Little War God of Ghost King Hall, Wu Tiangong!” Tang Yu said with a smile, glancing at Jiang Luo beside him.

Jiang Luo turned pale at the sight of the white-haired youth, as if he had suffered a loss at his hands before.

“Little War God?!” Xu Xingchen was curious; how could this white-haired youth be crowned with the title ‘War God’?

“He’s a celebrity! One of the outstanding talents among the younger generation of the Ghost King Hall!” Tang Yu laughed. “If you really run into him, I’d advise you to stay far away.”

“Why?” Xu Xingchen was taken aback.

“He’s a killing god! He doesn’t give face to anyone!”

Tang Yu laughed heartily, then glanced at Jiang Luo with a grin. “Jiang Luo almost got chopped down by this Little War God last time. If his father, Commander Jiang, hadn’t arrived in time, the Jiang Family would have been left without an heir! In the end, he even got slapped right in front of his old man.”

A group of young people burst into laughter, treating the incident as a joke.

Jiang Luo’s face darkened; this was a stain on his past he couldn’t erase, and he probably wouldn’t be able to get even.

As they spoke, the void cruise ship docked.

Seeing this, Tang Yu knew it was time to part ways. He cupped his hands toward Ye Sheng and the other two. “You three, would you like to stay at my place for a few days? I’d love to extend my hospitality and fulfill my duties as a host!”

“You’re welcome at my place too.”

The group chimed in one after another, extending invitations.

Tang Hongyi quickly cupped her hands and declined their kind offers.

They had come to Dongsheng City to accompany Ye Sheng to the Ghost King Hall.

“Everyone, we’ll surely meet again in the future. We won’t trouble you further.”

“Then farewell!”

Before leaving, Tang Yu said, “If you encounter any trouble in Dongsheng City, just speak up.”

“That’s right, Dongsheng City is like our home—there’s nothing we can’t handle.”

After the void cruise ship docked, the group disembarked together, laughing heartily.

These privileged young masters naturally had people waiting to pick them up.

Some got into luxury cars, while others drove the high-end vehicles brought by their servants, roaring off into the lavish city.

…

“Let’s go too!” Ye Sheng withdrew his gaze, glancing at this bustling metropolis, knowing he would likely be staying here for some time.

The purpose of this trip was to seize the position of ‘Inspector,’ which would inevitably involve clashes with countless top powers in this city.

The three of them stepped off the void cruise ship, but Xu Xingchen was at a loss. “Where do we go?”

His eyes turned to Ye Sheng. Dongsheng City was too vast, and they were strangers here, utterly directionless.

“This Ghost King Hall is really something. The Hall Master has arrived, and no one even comes to greet him?” Xu Xingchen couldn’t help muttering.

Before his words faded, a commotion arose in the crowd not far away.

The crowd, like a black tide, panicked and scattered to both sides, clearing a wide path.

In this path, hundreds of black-robed figures appeared, walking toward them. Each was shrouded in a black robe, their faces obscured, giving off an air of mystery.

But on the hood of each black robe was an emblem.

It was a special symbol, resembling the ferocious head of a Ghost King.

Anyone in Dongsheng City would recognize it—this was the symbol of the transcendent power, the Ghost King Hall.

“Step aside, it’s the people from the Ghost King Hall!”

“Don’t anger them!”

The crowd was terrified! Hundreds of Ghost King Hall experts appearing at the port at once was an extremely rare occurrence. Who were they here to welcome?

The hundreds of black-robed figures had a clear target, heading straight for Ye Sheng and the other two.

Moments later, upon reaching Ye Sheng, the hundreds of black-robed figures placed their hands over their chests. “Greetings, Lord!”

Among them, the leader stepped forward, approaching Ye Sheng, his voice hoarse. “Hall Master!”

After bowing, the person raised their head to look at Ye Sheng, revealing a face beneath the black robe.

However, when Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi saw this person’s appearance, they couldn’t help but be shocked!

“It’s you?!”

Tang Hongyi’s small mouth even gaped wide open!
