Chapter 498 Who is the Fisherman and Who is the Fish
In Yancheng.
King Yan seemed to be walking in the night wind normally, seemingly looking at the night scenery of Yancheng, but in fact he was secretly communicating with a certain existence in his heart.
"The rumors outside these days have made him realize that Yancheng is the outbreak site of the God Group. After seeing the situation last night, I think he has already suspected me, but there is no special aura on me, so he is only half-believing and half-doubting, and did not take action against me."
The power of the God of the Underworld is very strong, and he is right in the palace. He is very intimidating to the King of Fire. He doesn't even dare to send a voice message, but instead uses the Ghost Slave Contract.
His mental strength was insufficient and he was worried that the God of the Underworld would notice his fluctuations.
" It's not just you, I'm also under suspicion."
Lin Chen sat in a luxurious bedroom, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, without any panic.
The ghost slave contract has its own way of communication, and the closer the contract is, the simpler the communication becomes. However, it has a fatal flaw, which is that the ghost slave will have a mark on his body, and his aura will be different from that of an ordinary ghost.
However, Lin Chen had already given King Yan a large number of Breath-Suppressing Talismans. After arriving in the horror world, he also replaced the Breath-Suppressing Talismans with ones with the quality of ghost and god blood.
So it can be avoided completely.
Originally, Lin Chen just wanted to make the identity of King Yan more secure. Even he did not expect to encounter a surprise inspection so soon.
However, even if the Flame King had no flaws and his ghost body would not be revealed, in the eyes of the God of the Underworld, the two of them were still the biggest suspects.
Because the excuse for his appearance, although reasonable, was ultimately too coincidental.
The God of Hell is an eight-star creation ghost, a top-notch ghost in the world, and his wisdom is not ordinary.
Not every strong person is like a mentally ill person like Xu Renfeng.
Therefore, the other party would inevitably have some doubts about him and King Yan. This is an inevitable doubt.
While the God of the Underworld was talking with the King of Fire, his eyes kept looking towards him, which were full of deep meaning.
"Then what should we do? Should we just leave? I have no worries in Yancheng. If you take me away, I believe even the God of Hell can't stop you."
The way of King Yan.
"It's true that we can't stop him, but we don't need to leave. Why didn't the Hades attack such a powerful and confident ghost? Are you, a palace, and I, a free cloud, really important to him?"
"You mean... he wants to use us as bait to attract more members of the God's Team, then we should leave!" King Yan was shocked.
Lin Chen said calmly, "What are you worried about? I told you he was just suspicious. He won't cast or tear the net until he sees the fish. Just do what you should do. Besides, it's not certain who the fish is."
I just finished talking to the Flame King.
A man's voice was heard outside the door.
"Brother Demon Slayer, would you like to come out for a walk?"
It is the god of the underworld.
Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and then he smiled slightly, walked out of the room and said, "It turns out to be His Majesty the Underworld."
"There is nothing to do tonight. The search by the God Team is not a one-day job. In Yancheng, you are the only one at the same level as me, so after thinking about it, I can only chat with you to relieve my boredom."
Pluto has sword-like brows and eyes, a dignified bearing, and a faint smile on his face, which is enough to fascinate thousands of girls.
I'm not a woman, why should I chat with you in the middle of the night?
Lin Chen complained in his heart, but he knew that the Hades came to him purely as a test, so he did not refuse and said, "In that case, I will condescend to work with the Hades Temple."
The two walked in the City Lord's Mansion, stood on a high position, and looked at the lights below.
"Brother Demon Slayer, I wonder what you think of the God Group?" The God of Hell looked at the Ghost City and suddenly spoke without turning his head.
"It can be called the biggest cancer in our horror world, like a cancer attached to the bone. It can quickly increase ghost power, which is indeed tempting for ghosts. It seems small now, but in the future, who knows what kind of damage it will cause. It really needs to be eradicated as soon as possible."
Lin Chen looked full of hatred for evil.
The two had come to a row of gray stone railings.
Stop here.
The Hades looked at Lin Chen, his eyes flickering, and said with a smile: "Brother Demon Slayer is right, but the biggest cancer in the horror world right now is not the God Group, but a human being."
Is this a personal attack?
Lin Chen knew who the Hades God was talking about, and he did not pretend to know nothing. Instead, he hesitated and slowly said a person's name:
"You mean Chen?"
"Yes, a mere human being has grown so fast. Even I have to admit that he is terrifying, especially since he killed my uncle a few days ago. It can be said that he and I have an irreconcilable feud."
"Your Highness the Underworld, please accept my condolences."
"It's a pity that this person is ever-changing. He can transform back and forth between his ghost body and human body. He is very tricky and difficult to capture. Otherwise, I will definitely make him suffer the most terrible torture and punishment in this world." The breath of the Hades surged, and ghost power like moonlight appeared, misty and mysterious, carrying the power of extreme cold. It was indeed extraordinary.
At this moment, he didn't know whether it was caused by emotions or he wanted to attack Lin Chen.
The intention is hard to see through.
But Lin Chen was certain that this was still a test. There was no strange color on his face, but just the right amount of surprise: "His Majesty the Dark Lord's strength has reached such a level. It is indeed so terrifying. That human Chen is definitely not your opponent!"
Without even mobilizing his ghost power and showing any sign of vigilance, Lin Chen behaved like a passerby.
"It's just that I have used up all the resources and had some lucky luck. However, Brother Demon Slayer, I still want to apologize to you." The God of the Underworld gathered his ghost power.
"Oh? Why does His Majesty the Underworld say so?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.
"I was so angry just now that my ghost power fluctuated. My Moonlight Ghost Power has the power of extreme cold, which targets the ghost body. This is not quite right on my part, but Brother Gui Slayer's strength also makes me look at you with new eyes. This power of extreme cold has no effect on you at all." The God of Hell seemed to be expressing his apology, but in fact, there was a gleam in his eyes, and he stared at Lin Chen intently.
"To be honest, I once had a fortuitous encounter, which may have tempered my ghost body to be even stronger than my ghost power. Your Highness the Underworld God, please don't think too much about it."
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, then he explained without changing his expression.
"It seems that Brother Demon Slayer's strength is indeed extraordinary. With you as my helper, I can feel more at ease in eradicating the God Group." The God of Hell said.
"We will do our best."
Lin Chen clasped his fists.
The God of Hell nodded with a smile, then turned and left.
Looking at his back, Lin Chen's expression and eyes did not change at all, but his heart tightened slightly.
Although everything was going on peacefully, it was obvious that Hades' suspicion of him had grown stronger.
This second attempt, he was still careless after all.
It had nothing to do with wisdom, but rather that his strength was indeed too strong. The explosion of Hades' ghost power caused him no discomfort at all.
So naturally I didn't think about this.
But since Hades had not completely confirmed his identity and had not wanted to break off relations with him, he would not just jump out and tell Hades that he was the werewolf who had killed his uncle and then start a war directly.
The strength of the God of the Underworld is not weak. On the contrary, he can be said to be the strongest person of the same level that he has ever met.
If it cannot be killed instantly, there will inevitably be a shocking chaos.
This horror world is too dangerous after all. He has reached the level of creation. Even if he is invincible in this realm, there are still Tongtian and ghosts and gods above him.
If you really don't handle it properly and attract a ghost or god, then you will be in real trouble.
This is the potential danger behind it, and Lin Chen cannot be careless.
But the God of the Underworld was not a threat to him.
The other party wants to capture the members of the God Group, and he also wants to capture the God of the Underworld.
The God of the Underworld dared to stay in Yancheng because he was confident in his own strength.
Coincidentally, Lin Chen is the same.
Lin Chen turned and left with steady steps. When he saw the ghosts of the Yinyue royal family patrolling one by one, he greeted them with a smile.
Those ghosts looked like they were from the royal family and were rather arrogant, but when they saw an old ghost like Lin Chen who was at the creation level, they still gave him face and performed the etiquette as a junior.
"Do your best. I will stay here with you to capture all the members of the God Team and eradicate these cancers."
"yes!"
Only then did Lin Chen happily return to his room.
It was not until he closed the door that he felt the huge mental force surrounding him suddenly disappear.
"You've been staring at me."
Lin Chen chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
At the level of mental power.
When the strong spy on the weak, the weak will be unaware.
If the weak spy on the strong, they will be discovered immediately.
The mental power of the God of Hell is naturally very strong, so he confidently uses his mental power to pay attention to Lin Chen without worrying that Lin Chen will find out.
But he had no idea that in terms of mental power, Lin Chen was a level higher than him, and he also used his mental power to cover the God of the Underworld. Not only did he sense his hidden mental power, but the God of the Underworld was within Lin Chen's "sight" from beginning to end.
The spiritual power of the eighth step is difficult to match even for ordinary Tongtian ghosts.
After all , ghosts are ghosts after all. The core of ghosts is the ever-changing ghost power. Mental power is only auxiliary to ghosts. It is very rare to be able to improve mental power to Lin Chen's level.
The God of the Underworld thought he was standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking everything around him, but in fact Lin Chen was standing in the atmosphere!
As for the fact that Lin Chen entered the house, the God of Hell took back his mental power, which was also normal. The houses in the horror world all contain a material that is a protective stone.
This material can prevent evil spirits from breaking into the house and killing the original owner.
After all, although the horror world has its own social order, the evil spirits are vicious and it is still somewhat chaotic, so some strong people have developed this kind of protective stone.
It is not difficult for a powerful ghost like Hades to break into the buildings in Yancheng.
But because of the protective stone, if his spirit wanted to probe in, there would inevitably be fluctuations, which would attract the attention of Lin Chen, the ghost of fate, so he restrained his mental power.
However, Lin Chen did not have this concern at all. There was only one reason for it, and that was that his mental power was too strong, which was not comparable to that of the God of the Underworld. The God of the Underworld could not probe his mental power into the house without anyone noticing, but Lin Chen could.
Just like at this moment, he clearly saw the God of the Underworld talking to himself in his room.
"Demon Slayer... This name has a deep meaning. A powerful demon body and a sudden appearance of a creation demon. I am increasingly suspicious of you. However, your identity may be even more unexpected... I look forward to the day when the truth comes out."
"interesting……"
…
You're so interesting, why don't you say more?
Can you get into the habit of talking to yourself?
Lin Chen couldn't help but curse inwardly. This guy said a few words and then there was no movement.
Lin Chen, who was eavesdropping, felt like he had just pooped and shrank back.
"Interesting, right? Wait, I'll show you something even more interesting."
Lin Chen was very unhappy.
But this is only the first day, and neither the God of the Underworld nor the elite ghost soldiers he brought with him will relax.
So Lin Chen decided to lie low for a while.
In fact, he had also considered a plan, which was to put on an invisibility cloak, sneak up to the God of the Underworld, and give him a thundering blow.
Then catch all the ghosts here and evacuate Yancheng.
With his current strength, he can only be detected by ghosts and gods if he puts on the invisibility cloak.
But there are still risks after all.
Even Lin Chen had to admit that Hades was a super big fish. His net could catch it, but it was very likely to make a splash when catching it.
Even a few splashes of water by the God of the Underworld could create huge waves.
So, Lin Chen decided to keep this big fish until the end.
In addition, considering the ghost's arrogant and confident attitude, which Lin Chen couldn't stand, and the grudges between the two sides, Lin Chen would not deal with him so easily.
In this respect, Lin Chen is the same as Hades.
The God of the Underworld thought he had everything in his grasp, so he kept the Flame King and Demon Slayer to lure the big fish.
The same goes for Lin Chen. With such a big fish here, more fish can be gathered. Moreover, Lin Chen wants to put a painful mask on the God of the Underworld to let him know what a real devil is!
On the second day, King Yan did not gather the one hundred members of the God Group as Lin Chen requested.
The plan has begun to change because of the arrival of Hades.
On this day, Lin Chen and King Yan both expressed their desire to personally investigate the members of the God's Group in the city, but this request was unsurprisingly rejected by the God of the Underworld.
"It's all good if you two are willing, but there is no need for you to take action at the moment, so please stay in the city for now ."
This was the answer given by the God of the Underworld. He drew a line on the ground to serve as a prison. No matter whether Lin Chen and the King of Flame were real or fake, he had trapped Lin Chen and the King of Flame here.
In this regard, Lin Chen and King Yan naturally did not struggle any further, so they nodded and returned to their respective rooms.
"Master, what should we do?" King Yan immediately communicated with Lin Chen using the Ghost Slave Contract.
The suspicion of Hades towards him was almost written all over his face, which made him extremely frightened and uneasy.
Not revealing his true colors in front of others already shows that he is extremely cunning.
"Keep calm, just be yourself as usual. I will take action at the critical moment."
Lin Chen said calmly, ending the conversation with King Yan.
The ghost god Ming brought a total of two hundred ghosts with the surname Ming.
Among them there are one hundred true kings and one hundred palaces.
It is definitely an elite force.
Today they have been divided into two teams, half of which are stationed in Yancheng Mansion to show the tough attitude of the God of the Underworld to the outside world, and the other half are divided into groups, some going to Mucheng, and some searching around Yancheng.
Although they did not have the ability of Hades to identify the members of the God Group at a glance, they all had strong reconnaissance capabilities and were able to catch any fish that slipped through the net one by one.
That night, the God of Hades once again wiped out the existence of those members of the God Group as if it were the will of heaven and earth.
This ability is silent, but very terrifying.
To put it simply, it's like using an eraser to erase pencil marks on paper.
Dozens of ghosts were wiped out with ease.
"Your Highness the Underworld has good tactics."
Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged as he praised from the side.
"This is nothing, just some low-level ghosts. What I want is to find out the real culprit behind it. Since Yancheng is the core outbreak point, I think we can find something here and lure something out. Don't you agree, Yan Wang?"
King Yan’s face froze.
Then he nodded repeatedly.
Day 3.
It was no different from what happened yesterday, but the harvest was much less. At the signal of the God of the Underworld, these elite ghosts began to explore Bingcheng and Juecheng around Yancheng and Mucheng.
Day 4.
The exploration of the two cities was relatively successful, but the number of captured members of the God's Group began to decrease.
Day 5: After noticing that their gains were getting smaller and smaller, many ghosts with the surname Ming began to become a little lax. This was also observed by Lin Chen.
Day 6.
After the search teams left and Lin Chen was sure that the spirit power of the God of the Underworld was not observing him, the door of his room opened silently, and a transparent ghost slipped out .
