Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 169 - 101: Subduing the Ancient Elephant, Breaking Into Sixth Grade
After speaking, he threw the man into the Mass Grave.
The skeletons grabbed the man, and the spiteful look towards General Gu Xiang disappeared. They then dragged the man into the Mass Grave.
General Gu Xiang felt a chill on his scalp, but still clapped his hands and returned to Li Yuan’s side, righteously saying, "It’s best that these evil dogs all die out!"
Li Yuan glanced at him, didn’t respond to this topic, but instead said, "Last time, I threw Zhao Xiantong to Ming Shu just like you did, and a few days later, Zhao Xiantong walked out from there. He came looking for you and also for me.
If nothing unexpected happens, that man will also come looking for you after a while."
General Gu Xiang, full of righteous indignation, said, "If that man comes looking for me, I’ll just kill him again.
I wish I could cut such evil people into a thousand pieces."
Li Yuan said, "Enough."
General Gu Xiang chuckled and continued, "When I was in the Central Plains, I heard that if you get into trouble with a ghost, as long as you withstand one strike from the ghost, the ghost would leave.
So, when that man comes looking for me, I’ll kill him and it’ll be over.
But..."
He looked serious: "Just now I saw that if you stop the Ghost Servant from killing, these Ghost Servants might change targets, turning their focus on those who interfere."
Li Yuan said, "Bring your people around the entrance of the Mass Grave. When the next Ghost Servant walks out from inside, capture them and lock them in a cage and see.
If this Ghost Servant doesn’t return, then... the Mass Grave would be unable to send out the next Ghost Servant, and the Ghost Realm would be halted."
"Great idea!" General Gu Xiang clapped his hands in admiration.
...
That night, General Gu Xiang directly summoned that batch of rogue soldiers.
After the previous sieges, only over a thousand of these rogue soldiers were left.
General Gu Xiang called over more than a thousand people and disciplined them in front of Li Yuan, warning them not to disturb the people from now on.
Then, he chose a few of the most arrogant and rude among them and killed them on the spot.
Afterwards, he divided the remaining people into three batches, each with nearly four hundred men, stationed in front of the Mass Grave.
These soldiers looked in the direction of the Mass Grave, seeing only a quiet little house. After hearing that there were ghosts here, many were scared to paralysis, but with General Gu Xiang present, no one dared to act recklessly.
In the middle of the night, a "creak, creak" door opening sound came from the direction of the little house, two figures hurriedly walked out from the house.
One was a short-haired man dressed in a blue suit, carrying a bamboo basket with a sickle-like Curved Blade hanging at his waist, its blade facing inward, glinting coldly.
General Gu Xiang turned his head and said, "These are people from the Mountain Gang."
The other appeared to be a soldier dressed in Soft Armor, accompanying a large knife.
General Gu Xiang scratched his head and said, "This is one of ours, previously poisoned to death by the Mountain Gang."
At this moment, he increasingly realized the seriousness of the problem.
This Mass Grave Ghost Realm wasn’t a place for "Good People to take revenge", but rather... a place for everyone to kill, as long as you die and get buried here, whether you’re good or evil, you can go out and bring someone back to kill.
Immediately, these two men were captured and locked into the cage just brought with a cow cart.
A night passed...
The two were still in the cage, shouting all sorts of things, but no one paid them any attention.
And because these two did not return, there were no outsiders in the Ghost Realm anymore.
Thus, after twelve hours, the two suddenly disappeared from the cage.
Soon after, two more people walked out.
One of them was an ordinary person, and the other a Ninth Grade expert, then they were captured again and locked in the cage.
After twelve hours...
The two disappeared.
The third time, the people who came out were a Ninth Grade expert and an Eighth Grade expert.
General Gu Xiang acted and put the two into the cage.
After twelve hours...
The two continued to disappear.
The fourth time, two ordinary people came out again.
...
Li Yuan and General Gu Xiang continued experimenting.
Evidently, capturing the Ghost Servants and locking them in the cage was a good idea.
This caused the Mass Grave Ghost Realm to cease operations for twelve hours.
After twelve hours, the Ghost Realm seemed to "refresh", randomly sending out new Ghost Servants.
"There is still one last problem," Li Yuan said.
General Gu Xiang, being quite smart, directly said, "We need to figure out what kind of people died in this pit before."
"Exactly."
"Before we came, this was already a Mass Grave, burying many people, even quite a few from ancient times a hundred years ago.
Qiutang County has existed for a long time, and to put it bluntly, maybe even people from a thousand years ago are buried here.
If among these people were some powerful figures, we will eventually encounter them."
"Go check the county annals, and in the future... the Cyan Pool and Qiutang will still be yours." Li Yuan did not intend to stay further.
General Gu Xiang pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Mu, how can I find you?"
"Go to Antelope Pass, when you see a bird on the cliff, call my name. If the bird flies down to you, it’s as if I am there in person." Li Yuan said.
General Gu Xiang gave a deep bow and said, "I understand... Mr. Mu, don’t worry. I am already involved in this Ghost Realm, and if it cannot be solved, my heart will not be at ease either."
During this time, Li Yuan discussed the matters of the "Life Atlas" with General Gu Xiang under the name of the Martial Fool. Now that things were settled, he rode off to bid farewell, bought some local insect repellant and detoxification ointment, Spirit Flower Fragrance Dew, and Flower Sugar in the markets of Qiutang County, then returned in a hurry.
Three days later, he returned to Shanbao County.
He distributed some of the insect repellant ointments to Aunt Wang and the maids, gave quite a bit of the Flower Sugar to Niannian, Xiaosheng, and Niuniu, and handed over the rest along with the Spirit Flower Fragrance Dew to the two madams.
