Chapter 1611 - 1611: The Power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon

Speaking of this matter, Mr. Ding Lianshun couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "These people, to put it bluntly, all died because of greed!""Why do you say that?" Ye Qingqi asked.

"After the Corpse Ghost Dragon walked out of the Demon Hideout Cave, somehow it controlled Luan Ping. He used Luan Ping to spread rumors outside, saying the demon pet in the cave and the Corpse Ghost Dragon had fought to a stalemate and both were already in a dying state. So, all the different forces rushed over, all wanting to take advantage and capture the demon pet to control the Demon Hideout Cave!" Mr. Ding Lianshun sighed and said, "Ultimately, it's all due to greed. So many people came wanting to capture the demon pet, but instead, they were caught by the Corpse Ghost Dragon hiding here. Half of them were killed by the Corpse Ghost Dragon, which absorbed their vital energy. The other half were controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Although they kept their lives, they all became puppets of the Corpse Ghost Dragon!"

Ye Qing frowned deeply. Just now, along the way, he saw over seventy corpses; all victims of the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Considering this, half of them are dead, meaning there are more than seventy controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Those daring to come here for the demon pet are all quite powerful, not to mention top-level masters among these people. With over seventy people, there are at least thirty or forty top-level masters. In other words, the Corpse Ghost Dragon now controls over forty top-level masters; what kind of concept is this!

Mind you, even a major force like the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance has no more than twenty top-level masters. Last time, Prince Wan Yan brought eight top-level masters to the Meng District to seize the Sun Shooting Bow, and it was a very strong force. But now, the Corpse Ghost Dragon itself has collected over forty top-level masters. What force can possibly oppose it now!

"Where is the Corpse Ghost Dragon now?" Ye Qing hurriedly asked.

"I don't know either." Mr. Ding Lianshun shook his head, sighed, and said: "Last time I saw him, he was accompanied by two peak masters, both very powerful, obviously also controlled by him. Yin Xianzi and I were no match for them. I ran away, but it's been three days now, and I haven't seen Yin Xianzi. I don't know how she's doing. If she's also caught by the Corpse Ghost Dragon, then... the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Talking about this, Mr. Ding Lianshun was clearly very worried, his face full of anxious expressions. He and Yin Xianzi have been old friends for many years, and she's the person he's most worried about when she's in danger.

Ye Qing's expression became even more somber, and he said in a deep voice, "Who are these two peak masters?"

Worldly peak masters are rare, and Ye Qing has met most of them. He doesn't know who exactly the Corpse Ghost Dragon has controlled.

"These two were senior masters, people of the same era as Luan Ping." Mr. Ding Lianshun said in a deep voice, "One is named Li Tongfu, the other Shi Xingwu, equal in power with Luan Ping. I estimate that these two were tricked out by Luan Ping and ended up being controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Adding Luan Ping, the Corpse Ghost Dragon is now accompanied by three peak masters and so many top-level masters, plus the Corpse Ghost Dragon's own strong power, almost no one can oppose him. Alas, I'm afraid there's no force left in this world powerful enough to contend with him."

Ye Qing frowned tightly. He thought the Corpse Ghost Dragon only had those top-level masters by his side. Unexpectedly, there are actually three peak masters; now this matter is even more troublesome.

"Who is this Luan Ping?" Ye Qing asked, not knowing that Luan Ping is Prince Nalan's uncle.

"Haven't you met him? Prince Nalan's uncle, who once fought to seize the Sun Shooting Bow," Mr. Ding Lianshun replied.

"Him!?" Ye Qing's expression changed. He was very aware of Luan Ping's power.

"How did this guy end up with the Corpse Ghost Dragon?" Ye Qing asked anxiously.

Mr. Ding Lianshun said solemnly, "Last time when you came to save us, the old fox Nalan Jingwei also sent people here, trying to take advantage of the situation. As a result, they ran into the people from the South Ridge Sect just outside the Demon Hideout Cave and fought for a while. The Corpse Ghost Dragon seized the opportunity, drew away much of Luan Ping's inner strength, and controlled him. The South Ridge Sect and Nalan Jingwei's people were scared off, and Luan Ping ultimately became a puppet of the Corpse Ghost Dragon!"

"Nalan Jingwei, that old undying, never accomplishes things but always messes them up!" Ye Qing said in a deep voice. If it weren't for Prince Nalan wanting to gamble here, the Corpse Ghost Dragon couldn't have found such an able assistant. This way, it wouldn't be so easy for the Corpse Ghost Dragon to regain his strength. Instead, now a peak master has become a subordinate of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, his strength has already inflated to such a degree, making it extremely difficult to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon now.

"Ah!" Mr. Ding Lianshun sighed lamentably, saying in a deep voice: "This old monster Corpse Ghost Dragon has lived for more than three hundred years, and even the Heavenly Master isn't his match. After Yin Xianzi and I told the Heavenly Master about this, the Heavenly Master has decided to have the Twelve Green Halls refrain from acting rashly for now. Ye Qing, you and Miss Huangfu barely made it out of the Demon Hideout Cave; I advise you both to keep a low profile and not let the Corpse Ghost Dragon know that you've come out. Last time, you personally opposed his subordinates and even killed Grand Master Nai Kun. The Corpse Ghost Dragon is ruthless; I suspect he definitely won't let you both off!"

Hearing this, Ye Qing's expression suddenly changed, saying urgently: "Not good, last time when killing Grand Master Nai Kun, Uncle Shen was with me. If the Corpse Ghost Dragon wants revenge, will he go after Uncle Shen?"

Huangfu Ziyu's expression changed as well. She stood up holding the Sun Shooting Bow and said urgently: "Let's hurry to Xi Hang!"

"What are you two going to Xi Hang for?" Mr. Ding Lianshun asked hurriedly: "The Corpse Ghost Dragon's strength has now recovered at least thirty percent. I estimate there's not a single peak master in the world that can be his opponent. Plus, with so many experts by his side, you two going to Xi Hang won't help and might even lose your lives!"

Ye Qing glanced at Mr. Ding Lianshun, shook his head slowly, and said: "Mr. Ding, if we were truly afraid of death and truly feared the Corpse Ghost Dragon, last time in the Demon Hideout Cave, I wouldn't have saved you and Yin Xianzi!"

Hearing this, Mr. Ding Lianshun was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, Ye Qing had saved them when three Devouring Demon Flowers were placed together, one of which must have contained the Corpse Ghost Dragon. If Ye Qing was really afraid of death, he wouldn't have chosen to save him and Yin Xianzi, and the events that followed wouldn't have happened!

But, at that time, Ye Qing was resolute in saving them, even if it meant releasing the Corpse Ghost Dragon. If Ye Qing wasn't afraid of the Corpse Ghost Dragon last time, then this time, concerning Shen Tianjun, Ye Qing certainly wouldn't be afraid!

"Alright!" Mr. Ding Lianshun suddenly shouted and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "Since none of you fear death, I, this old fellow, have even less reason to fear death. Let's go, I'll go with you. I haven't seen Yin Xianzi in three days; I imagine her situation is dangerous. If anything happens to her, I'll damn well fight the Corpse Ghost Dragon!"

It was obvious that Mr. Ding Lianshun was also emotionally charged. Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu exchanged a glance and said nothing more. Actually, having Mr. Ding Lianshun along would make this trip to Xi Hang safer. After all, Mr. Ding Lianshun is also a peak master; having his help will increase our strength.

All three of them together walked along the road outside. On the way afterward, they didn't encounter any more bodies, because they were already almost out of Beimang Mountain. The Corpse Ghost Dragon only kills deep inside Beimang Mountain, not outside.

With a small cart filled with those famed instruments, the three used over two hours to walk out of Beimang Mountain. Randomly stopping a vehicle on the highway, they drove directly to the city.

Over at the city office, the people there were already busy spinning around because of Ye Qing's entry into Beimang Mountain without coming out, fearing he might encounter danger inside. However, they dared not send anyone into Beimang Mountain to look for Ye Qing because Beimang Mountain is a government-sealed area. So, despite being very anxious, they had no choice but to wait for news in their office.

Upon learning Ye Qing had returned, everyone at the city office was overjoyed, and the director personally came to visit him. When Su Kaicheng previously came looking for Ye Qing, it left a deep impression, knowing well what could happen if Ye Qing didn't make it out of Beimang Mountain. Thus, Ye Qing coming out was a huge relief for him.

Ye Qing naturally had no time to linger in this city. He had the office arrange a private jet, and in the afternoon, he headed to Xi Hang. After being out for such a long time, Ye Qing had learned somewhat about what's been happening outside. He had been trapped in the Demon Hideout Cave for ten days, during which many things happened outside. The most critical of these was the matter concerning Medicine King Mountain. With Medicine King Mountain about to open, Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi has issued orders for everyone holding a Divine Doctor's Order to go to Medicine King Mountain, waiting for its opening. Nowadays, many people are eyeing Medicine King Mountain eagerly, and even some hidden old-timers are tempted to search for the legacy left by Divine Doctor An Shiping.

Ye Qing is certainly not concerned with Medicine King Mountain now, taking the private jet at around three in the afternoon, arriving at Xi Hang by half past four. Having been gone for so long, Ye Qing had tried contacting the people from Shen Family Manor several times but couldn't reach them. Others he contacted also knew nothing about Shen Family Manor's situation. So, Ye Qing still didn't know the current situation at Shen Family Manor, leaving his heart particularly uneasy.

Unable to reach the people from the Shen Family, he remained worrying, fearing the Shen Family had already been attacked by the Corpse Ghost Dragon!```
