Chapter 99 – Is he going to his death?

On the deck, Ye Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a white robe, with Huang Wenyue and the others standing behind him.

“Ghostfire City?”

Ye Sheng looked up, gazing curiously at the massive city before him, which resembled a black mountain.

A black ancient city!

It was one tier higher than a Red Mythic Tier ancient city!

It possessed 800-fold combat power!

Its drop rates were higher, but even those in the Invincible Realm dared not approach such a city lightly, fearing they might become trapped and unable to escape.

Ye Sheng scanned the area and saw black banners fluttering atop the city walls, with waves of Yin Soldiers crowded on the battlements.

Every Yin Soldier there was extremely powerful, each possessing 800-fold combat power!

Huang Wenyue said, “I once ventured into this Ghostfire City, but I almost didn’t make it out.”

As he spoke, Huang Wenyue couldn’t help but look fearful, his gaze fixed on Ghostfire City as if recalling that near-death experience.

In the end, he emerged drenched in blood.

After escaping, he was completely exhausted and drained of strength.

Since then… he had never dared to venture into Ghostfire City again, knowing full well that his abilities were no match for such a city.

“Senior, you must be careful too!” Huang Wenyue said with concern. “Although these Yin Soldiers don’t have the thousandfold combat power of Giant Level beings, ants can overwhelm an elephant. If you underestimate them, you could easily suffer losses!”

Huang Wenyue couldn’t help but worry.

Although Ye Sheng was at the Giant Level, he seemed like a newcomer who had never set foot in the Dark Zone and lacked experience.

If he carelessly charged in, he might suffer losses.

Of course, Huang Wenyue wasn’t worried that Ye Sheng would become trapped. If he thought that way, it would be underestimating a Giant Level being with thousandfold combat power.

Chu Zong, whose build resembled an iron tower, stood behind Ye Sheng and grinned. “Senior, do you want us to cover for you?”

As he spoke, he looked up at the Yin Soldiers with 800-fold combat power, eager to test his skills against them.

Hearing this, Huang Wenyue was angered by his audacity. He jumped up and slapped Chu Zong on the head, scolding, “You brat, stay put! How could you possibly venture into Ghostfire City?

Even I can’t do it!”

Chu Zong rubbed his head and grinned sheepishly.

The other generals laughed heartily, thinking to themselves that this fool had no sense of his own limits.

“Are there any 3rd Revolution Bosses in the city?”

Ignoring the laughter, Ye Sheng asked the question he was most concerned about.

He had come to the Dark Zone with the goal of obtaining a 4th Revolution Class Advancement Item. Once he had it, he planned to cross the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation and step into the 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm, without lingering too long in the 3rd Revolution Realm.

Huang Wenyue nodded. “Of course there are!

However, that Boss is extremely fierce… It possesses 900-fold combat power and has an incredibly thick health bar, making it very difficult to kill!”

He had been chased by that Boss back then and almost didn’t escape.

“That’s good enough!”

Ye Sheng nodded. A 3rd Revolution Boss with 900-fold combat power was nothing to him.

Whoosh!

Without waiting for Huang Wenyue to say anything more, Ye Sheng took a step forward, his body rising into the air as he flew toward Ghostfire City in his white robe.

“He’s making his move!”

The generals with 500-fold combat power stopped laughing and looked solemnly at Ye Sheng’s white-robed figure.

They knew this Giant Level being was about to take action!

A glimmer of curiosity shone in each of their eyes.

They had only learned from Huang Wenyue that Ye Sheng was a Giant Level, but they had never truly witnessed his combat power, leaving them with lingering doubts.

Huang Wenyue, on the other hand, eagerly anticipated whether they could reap any benefits, depending entirely on whether Ye Sheng could capture Ghostfire City.

…

At the rear.

Over a dozen Ghost Dragon warships advanced in a grand formation, their decks crowded with people anxiously waiting.

After approaching Ghostfire City, they came to a halt.

Everyone nervously awaited Huang Wenyue’s orders, eager to know what the next move would be.

This would determine their survival!

Yet after a long wait, the warship at the front remained eerily silent, with no instructions issued.

The calm before the storm only heightened their unease, their hearts pounding in their throats.

“What is Huang Wenyue up to? Why isn’t he making any move?”

Han Liang stood on the deck, frowning as he spoke, his voice tinged with unease.

They were all waiting for Huang Wenyue to take action or reveal some trump card…

Then they could decide their next move—whether to flee or fight!

But after stopping before Ghostfire City, Huang Wenyue showed no signs of action, as if he had merely brought them here for sightseeing.

“I don’t know!”

Du Yu shook his head, equally restless.

His eyes were busy scanning the surroundings, planning escape routes to avoid chaos later.

Compared to risking his life for Huang Wenyue, his own survival mattered more!

Jiang Hao stood there, breathing heavily, yet he was the calmest among them.

Just then, someone finally let out a startled cry, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Look! There’s movement on the warship ahead.”

Someone pointed at the forward warship and shouted loudly.

“Are we going to storm the city?”

Someone paled at the thought, as charging into Ghostfire City would be nothing short of suicide.

“Huh? Only one figure is taking to the skies from the warship.”

Immediately after, someone else exclaimed in disbelief!

Everyone looked over.

Indeed, they saw only one figure soaring into the air, heading toward Ghostfire City.

“What’s going on? Why is there only one person?”

“What does Leader Huang mean by this?”

“Leader Huang isn’t even in sight.”

“Is he sending this person to their death?”

Many were left dumbfounded.

They watched as a figure in white robes rose into the air, leisurely making his way toward Ghostfire City, his demeanor unhurried, as if he were on vacation.

For a moment, no one could understand what was happening.

“Is this person being used as bait? To test Ghostfire City?”

Someone wondered aloud.

The white-robed figure heading toward Ghostfire City alone seemed no different from seeking death.

“Huh? I’ve seen him before!”

On the deck of one warship, Old Ghost Li suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

He recognized the white-robed figure as the young man who had traded with him before, exchanging the Blood Cloud Shuttle for two Ghost Mask series equipment, which had successfully increased his combat power to 400 times!

“What is this young man doing? Sent by Leader Huang to die?”

Old Ghost Li was stunned!

On another side.

One person was particularly shocked.

“Ye Sheng?!”

Jiang Hao was dumbfounded!

He immediately recognized the figure flying out of the warship as Ye Sheng, never expecting him to be at Ghostfire City and aboard Huang Wenyue’s warship.

“What is he doing?!”

Jiang Hao stared in disbelief at Ye Sheng, who had flown out of the warship alone and was heading toward Ghostfire City, unable to comprehend the meaning behind this.

“Seeking death?”

“Or was he sent by Huang Wenyue to test Ghostfire City and die?”

Jiang Hao watched as Ye Sheng flew toward Ghostfire City like a moth drawn to a flame, a flicker of heartache inevitably surfacing in his gaze.

Though he and Ye Sheng did not share a deep friendship, they had at least come to know each other.

Now, seeing Ye Sheng forced by Huang Wenyue to march to his death, he felt quite indignant inside.
