Chapter 2188: The Underground World Shakes

Li Mu looked at everyone paying attention to him and felt prouder. Then he continued, “Since the Water Ghosts in Water Ghost Lake have disappeared, sects who have a grudge against the Water Ghost Sect began to attack. The Water Ghost Sect only just found out that the water ghosts in the lake were gone. Most importantly, the Water Ghost Sect found out that the plants that grew on the lake weren’t ordinary plants. The plants can emit a weak energy that was just the nemesis of ghosts. It was because of these plants that the water ghosts on the lake disappeared.”

Hearing Li Mu, everyone stared before sucking up cold air. Zhao Hai looked at Li Mu and said, “How is that possible? There’s a plant like that? If what you’re saying is true, then isn’t the underground world in danger?”

Li Mu replied, “The plant does exist. Moreover, it has caused a catastrophe for the Water Ghost Sect. I received this information when the various sects launched an attack against the Water Ghost Sect., I believe the Water Ghost Sect is already close to being wiped out. I think the sects will pay close attention to that plant. After all, it’s also a threat to all Ghost Cultivators.”

Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai frowned and said, “Why haven’t I heard of that plant before?”

Li Mu shook his head and said, “Nobody knows where the plant came from. However, it’s not our turn to worry about this. I think the sects are having a bigger headache than we have.”

Everyone nodded. Li Mu looked at everyone and said, “Can anyone tell me what happened to the Water Ghost Sect?”

Everyone just looked at Li Mu without saying anything. Although they were now in the gang’s territory, they thought that it was better to talk less. If the Water Ghost Sect was really destroyed, then it wouldn’t hurt to keep quiet. And if the Water Ghost Sect survived, then if their words reached the ears of the Water Ghost Sect, then they would suffer in the future.

Zhao Hai looked at the reaction of the people around him and thought that he might only be the one who could reply to Li Mu. The Water Ghost Sect was truly finished. When the news about Water Ghost Lake spread, the Water Ghost Sect was already erased from the underground world. Under the joint attacks of multiple sects, the Water Ghost Sect’s Supreme Elders down to its affiliate gangs were all killed. 

The sects who took care of the Water Ghost Gang were now coping with Water Ghost Lake’s new plants. These plants now covered the entire lake. Water Ghosts couldn’t be seen anywhere. The lake has turned green.

The new plant grew too fast and multiplied quickly. Therefore, the light energy it emitted became more and more. Since Ghost Cultivators attuned themselves to yin energy, they have an innate dislike towards the light element. Naturally, the Ghost Cultivators could feel the energy being emitted by the lake. They understood that if these plants spread throughout the underground world, then the Ghost Cultivators would suffer huge damage. Because of this, the various sects were doing all they could to deal with the plants.

Unfortunately for them, their actions were too late. The seeds of the plants have already travelled through the underground waterways. Zhao Hai knew that it wouldn’t be long before the plants propagated throughout the underground world.

Li Mu didn’t know about this. Seeing that everyone was being quiet, he said, “What are you afraid of? Even if the Water Ghost Sect knows, what can they do? In their eyes, we are just little people not worth their time.”

Everyone nodded. Li Mu’s words were reasonable. How were they, they were just unimportant people in the eyes of the sects. The only people sects treated properly were sect disciples. 

At this time, a drum beat was heard throughout the gang. Everyone couldn’t help but stare when they heard this. Then their complexion changed as they quickly ran out.

This drum beat wouldn’t sound out randomly. This drum beat could only mean that something big was happening in the Ghost Child Gang. The moment the drum beat sounded, every member of the gang must rush to the headquarters within ten minutes. If they failed to arrive, they would be punished according to the gang’s rules.

Because of this, when people heard the drum beat, they immediately rushed out. Although they were very close to the gang’s assembly ground, the drum hadn’t sounded for a long time, which caused the members to be nervous.

Before long, everyone arrived at the gang’s assembly ground. Every single member present had a tense look on their face. In addition to the ordinary gang members, Zhong Busan and other high-ranking members of the gang were also present.

Zhong Busan was the gang leader, but he usually doesn’t appear in public. Now that he was present, it can be said that the upcoming matter wasn’t a small one.

The drum sounded three times. When the drum beats ended, exactly ten minutes had passed. If a gang member hasn’t arrived by this time, then they would be punished.

Once the drum stopped, Zhong Busan looked at everyone in the assembly ground and then said, “You might not be aware, but the Water Ghost Sect has already been eliminated. The main cause of the Water Ghost Sect’s downfall is a plant. This plant can release energy that is the nemesis of ghost cultivation. Because of this, the various sects have issued a joint mission to all gangs in the underground world. We must use all of our strength to scout nearby waters and look for this plant. This is what the plant looks like.”

Everyone stretched their necks to look at a cultivator not far away from Zhong Busan. The cultivator was holding a tray with a green plant on it. This plant looked like any other aquatic plant. Nobody thought that this plant would shake the entire underground world.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Zhong Busan waved his hand towards the cultivator holding the tray. The cultivator nodded and then brought the tray near the crowd. This way, everyone can get a closer look at the plant.

When the plant got close to the members of the Ghost Child Gang, everyone could feel an uncomfortable feeling. It was as if the thing on the tray was the most repugnant thing in the world.

Zhao Hai looked at the tray and was stunned. This was because he discovered that the plant that he created has undergone a mutation in the underground world. It became even more formidable. When it was created, the plant only let out a very small amount of light element qi. But now it was different. Although the plant has been taken out of the water for some time, the light element qi it emitted was still very strong. No wonder the ghost cultivators felt uncomfortable in its presence.

Although Zhao Hai was surprised, he didn’t forget what he needed to do. Therefore, he also pretended to feel disgusted by the plant. 

It was clear that the cultivator holding the tray was also feeling uncomfortable. He walked around the crowd for a moment before returning to the stage.

Zhong Busan waved his hand, allowing the person carrying the plant to leave. Then Zhong Busan looked at the crowd and said, “This plant has already spread out in the underground world. Nobody knows how it appeared, so we don’t have a deep understanding of it. What we know is that the plant will die not long after it leaves the water. Everyone can come over to receive a mission token. The gang will be divided into groups. Each group will be responsible for a certain region. Make sure that there are no such plants in the area you’re assigned. If you find one, immediately take it out of the water.”

This wasn’t everyone’s first time doing a gang-wide mission. They immediately went to Zhong Busan to receive their mission tokens. Naturally, this mission token was made quickly. It only contained basic information such as which group the token’s owner belonged to and who was the group leader. When Zhao Hai received his token, he found that he belonged to the fifth group. The leader of the group was also his old friend, Lin Feng.

Zhao Hai quickly found Lin Feng. When Lin Feng saw Zhao Hai, he immediately nodded and said, “Xiao Ling, you’re here. Good. Now that everyone is here, let’s go.” Everyone nodded and then followed Lin Feng out of Ghost Child City.

The various sects of the underground world paid great attention to this matter. The majority of the underground world’s manpower has been mobilized. Their goal was to deal with the spread of the plants and also to investigate how exactly the plant appeared.

Zhao Hai didn’t expect the plant to make a huge wave in just a few months. Now, almost the entire underground world was shaken. This caused Zhao Hai to worry a bit. Although he was certain that his traces were hidden, the ghost cultivators weren’t pushovers. They had been fighting with the surface cultivators for many years, so they must have their own means. Now that the plant has made a huge wave, the great sects in the underground world would definitely try to track it down. Zhao Hai couldn’t guarantee that nobody wouldn’t find anything.

Although Zhao Hai was worried, he wasn’t scared. This was because he was sure that he had covered his traces. He used the Space to move around, and he also hid his aura and appearance. Even if someone went to investigate, they wouldn’t identify Zhao Hai. Now, Zhao Hai wanted to see who would win between the underground world and the plants he created.
