Chapter 821: Greedy Stone Statue Ghost Kings

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Feet stomped on the ground sending tremors through it.

Mo Sa cracked his mouth into a grin. The muscles in his body bulged like small mountains as his black robe billowed, hiding his body.

Mo Cha’s wings on his back flapped slightly. His body flew up. He tucked his long tongue out, licking and rolling around.

Buzz...

Some buzzing noise echoed. Mo Ye clasped his hands. His body hovered in the sky, his eyes indifferent. It seemed he was always calm in everything he did.

Mo Cha and Mo Sa seemed very afraid of him. Sometimes, they would check him out with frightened eyes.

In the Ruin Prison, Mo Ye seemed to belong to the high echelons. Not only that, but Mo Ye’s competence was immeasurable.

The three of them stopped, looking at the invisible wall that was rippling in front of them.

“Mo Ye, Big Boss, my heart’s racing! This feeling... Yeah, right! This is it!” Mo Cha’s eyes were wide open, filling with excitement.

His body couldn’t help but shiver. The wings on his back moved, and soot-black feathers floated up unceasingly.

“This place? This kind of low-grade, puzzling formation...” Mo Ye raised his hand, which was dark green with sharp and narrow fingernails.

His hand was placed on the rippling, transparent formation. Immediately, they heard a loud boom.

That formation dissolved like melting snow.

A wind blew by, causing the steam to slap Mo Ye’s face. It swept past his hair, making it flutter.

The formation shattered. The twisting, illusory images that had affected their vision were now gone, revealing another side of the world.

Continuous mountain ranges had formed a colossal, imposingly majestic city. A black stone tablet reached the sky, standing in the center of the city. Metal skyscrapers jutted into the sky.

It was a luxurious, lively area.

Mo Cha and Mo Sa gawked in awe.

“It’s a formation that the people living in the Hidden Dragon Continent often use to confuse the others’ vision. If someone comes here but can’t see through the formation, they will easily miss this crossroad. If they take the wrong way, they will miss this place,” said Mo Ye.

To him, this so-called puzzling formation was utterly simple. He had two vertical eyes—one could see through all illusions, while the other could cast his ultimate attack!

It would take just seconds to break this formation.

“Go. I didn’t expect to see such a lively city behind that formation.” Mo Ye was a little surprised. His body floated in the sky, his toes never touching the ground. Slowly, he glided forward.

Mo Sa and Mo Cha exchanged looks. They could see the thrill in each other’s eyes!

“Muahahah... Food! We have food again!”

“Kekeke! Another full meal!”

The two sneered, then a moment later, they accelerated, following the other.

The three of them moved for a while before pausing briefly. Because, not far from them, a big stone tablet was standing in their way.

The stone tablet had three words carved in flamboyant calligraphy—Valley of Gluttony.

“Valley of Gluttony? It sounds like a second-class force in the Hidden Dragon Continent. It’s weaker than any other holy lands,” said Mo Cha, looking at the words on the stone tablet while rubbing his chest.

He could feel his heart beating more frantically. His feeling wasn’t wrong this time. The Heavenly Star Catcher Disk was right in this Valley of Gluttony.

“We don’t care if it’s a second-class force. We’re here for the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk. Even if it’s a holy land, we will still attack, let alone this Valley of Gluttony,” Mo Ye said.

He lifted his head as his vertical eyes moved. However, they didn’t open as he looked at the sky.

“The Heaven Pass Tribulation has started. We should be faster.”

“Muahaha... Kill! Kill! Kill! We’ll eat till we’re full, then we’ll take the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk. Simply beautiful!” Mo Cha burst out laughing, his eyes so excited.

Mo Sa hit the ground. His fists had cracked the ground entirely.

After a while, the three of them moved further, heading to the Valley of Gluttony.

...

In the Valley of Gluttony

Chu Changsheng walked out of Noodles King Restaurant, his face content. He patted his tummy, whipping his white hair.

Owner Bu wasn’t home for two days now. Since he, the waiter, didn’t have anything to do, he ran around to have fun.

After he visited one restaurant, he would move to another one. After the Phoenix Pavilion, it was the Noodles King Restaurant’s turn. After this, he would go to Wenren Shang’s restaurant.

Also, he didn’t need to pay. Because after eating, he would give them his critical recommendations.

Those kids didn’t dare to say a word to him. Thus, his mood could be described as utterly satisfied.

Holding a bamboo toothpick between his lips, Chu Changsheng clasped his hands, strolling along Gluttony God City’s long street. He learned from Bu Fang, using a velvet rope to tie his hair.

He looked refreshing and neat.

Suddenly, he was taken aback.

In the distance, a person with a veil was slowly glidingly like a fairy descending into this world.

Chu Changsheng’s eyes shrank. He was quite astonished.

“Heavenly Secret Saintess? Why is she here?” Chu Changsheng was a little bewildered.

The Heavenly Secret Saintess often visited the Valley of Gluttony. Chu Changsheng knew that. Although there were many Saintesses, the Heavenly Secret Saintess was the most exotic flower. Previously, she visited the Valley of Gluttony every day to enjoy the good food.

This Saintess was a foodie. Chu Changsheng had confirmed this already.

The Heavenly Secret Saintess seemed to see Chu Changsheng. Her cold and deep eyes checked Chu Changsheng out, which made the latter shudder.

This feeling... was a little different!

The Heavenly Secret Saintess had become deeply immeasurable!

Mo Liuji rushed behind the Heavenly Secret Saintess. He had his shirt open at his chest. While walking, he poured wine from a bamboo flask into his mouth.

Suddenly, the three of them froze. Their hearts felt some aura that made them beat faster.

These sorts of auras...

The Heavenly Secret Saintess, Mo Liuji, and Chu Changsheng were panic-stricken. They lifted their heads, looking at the entrance of the Valley of Gluttony.

The terrifying auras came from that area. Those auras... The travelers didn’t come in peace.

Black clouds rolled, towering in the sky like seething waves. It felt like an imposing mountain pressing on their chests.

It attacked horribly.

...

Yellow Spring River, Earth Prison, Netherworld

The water river splashed loudly.

The Netherworld Ship shook side to side. Bu Fang and Nethery had to try hard to steady their bodies while standing on the ship’s deck.

They were both shocked, lifting their heads to look at the massive spirit beast who had jumped over the Netherworld Ship.

That spirit beast was really gigantic. Its entire body was black, and its terrifying, suffocating aura diffused, expanding around it. Bu Fang felt somewhat restrained.

Although Bu Fang wasn’t afraid of any kind of pressure with the system present in him, this divine beast had brought a dangerous feeling that made his heart race.

When riding a horse, there was a time they had to jump off. The spirit beast that had just shown up made the two frown.

Nethery wielded her hand. Instantly, a wisp of black Nether energy expanded, turning into a curtain. It covered the entire Netherworld Ship.

The blood river water rattled like heavy rain. When the water drops hit the protection curtain, it sizzled as the water eroded the curtain.

The Yellow Spring River’s water was extremely poisonous with formidable eroding power.

A loud, puffing noise arose!

The spirit beast dove into the water. A moment later, the water rippled, and the entire river surged with high waves, moving toward the area covered by blood mist.

Bu Fang’s eyes gazed at that misty area. All of a sudden, his eyes shrank. Because, inside that mist, Bu Fang suddenly saw a colossal ship tugging a floating, bronze palace, drifting past them.

Bu Fang was bewildered. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

He rubbed his eyes and checked again. This time, he saw a corner of the bronze palace. A moment later, that bronze palace was swallowed by the hazy blood mist, disappearing from his sight.

It seemed Nethery didn’t see that bronze palace.

Thud.

The Netherworld Ship finally reached the shore.

The two of them left the ship, standing on the ground of the Yellow Spring River’s riverbank. Feeling the firm ground underneath their feet, they couldn’t help but exhale.

This Yellow Spring River... was really frightening.

This time, they had passed through it with only a little fright. Nothing dangerous had happened.

That giant spirit beast did not seem to want to attack them. It swam back, sinking into the mist like it was attracted to something there.

Was it because of that black ship tugging a bronze palace?

What was that palace? Why was it wandering on the Yellow Spring River?

Bu Fang was very puzzled. However, no one could explain that to him. He had told Nethery about the ship and the palace, but she just pulled a bewildered face. Apparently, she didn’t know what he was talking about.

If they had no clue, Bu Fang didn’t want to hang onto it. He followed Nethery, walking forward.

There were so many blades of Yellow Spring Grass around them. However, they were all dry and withered, as they weren’t old enough. Some had only just grown a little pointy tip.

Bu Fang just needed a one leaf Yellow Spring Grass. However, that piece was already precious.

“The Yellow Spring Great Sage manages the Yellow Spring Grass. The Yellow Spring Sage... Um, how to say, this person is famous for his stinginess in the Netherworld. He hates those who come to steal his Yellow Spring Grass and Reincarnation Fruits. If he catches them, he would take their souls out and put them to the Reincarnation Well. There, they have to suffer from torment,” said Nethery.

Bu Fang’s heart jumped once. He was a little scared. Taking one’s soul and putting it into the Reincarnation Well sounded like an overkill.

“That’s why we must be very careful. Lord Dog has gone to chat with the Yellow Spring Great Sage, so he won’t have time to notice us. We should take a Yellow Spring Grass then run. I think the Yellow Spring Great Sage won’t feel that.” Nethery blinked her black eyes while talking to Bu Fang.

As they spoke, unconsciously, they had walked quite far toward the source of the river.

All of a sudden, Nethery pulled Bu’s arm, taking several steps back.

Bu Fang was astonished.

“Ahead of us is the Yellow Spring River’s source, but we can’t approach it. Right now, we’re also in the area of the Yellow Spring River’s source of the river. It meets your requirement, but...”

“But what?” Bu Fang was a little surprised.

Nethery eyed Bu Fang for a while then raised her hands, pointing at an area further ahead.

Several miles ahead of them stood two stone statues. They didn’t move, but they looked so solemn and imposing.

The stone statues looked gruesome with round, bulging eyes, a pair of wings on the back, and a trident in their hands. They appeared ferocious, indeed.

“The Yellow Spring Great Sage has set up those stone statues to prevent people from stealing his Yellow Spring Grass... As long as we go near, they will sense us. When that happens, a great calamity will come! Don’t think that they are just stone statues... Actually, they’re living beings. They are the two Stone Statue Ghost Kings!” Nethery said sternly.

“Stone Statue Ghost Kings? Sounds really fierce. What should we do now?” Bu Fang furrowed his brows.

Nethery looked odd. She eyed Bu Fang for a while, the corners of her mouth twitching once.

“It’s time for you to show your techniques... The Stone Statue Ghost Kings are gluttons. You just need to use your delicacy to shut them up and numb them. Then, we will have a chance to sneak in.”
