The bounty caused a sensation throughout the Cangyuan Realm.

Who was Li Hengsheng?

Worth so much money!

Once the news broke, the Four Desolate Lands took notice, and finding this Li Hengsheng could be exchanged for a Painting Treasure of the fairy level.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

But there were also some who grew worried upon hearing the news.

“Brother Li…”

In Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Yan Yuyun was in utter disbelief upon receiving the news.

Xu Muhai’s face turned particularly ugly when he heard it. His disciple had been doing well as an Inspector, and now suddenly he was embroiled in such a mess, causing Xu Muhai great anxiety. Yang Tiantian’s face turned ashen; at this moment, she had already concluded that Yue Hanjun was no good person.

And Li Changqing was dead…

This news was something Yang Tiantian found hard to believe.

Li Changqing had helped her resolve her half-human, half-ghost troubles, allowing her to return to a normal life, but she hadn’t yet repaid his kindness. How could he be dead?

The entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land was shocked.

In the Nameless Valley.

Li Xuanxi had been living in seclusion here. When the news of Li Changqing’s death and Li Hengsheng’s warrant reached them, Mu Qingge completely broke down.

Li Changqing was dead.

Li Hengsheng was wanted, and now his whereabouts were unknown.

Mu Qingge almost rushed out to find Li Hengsheng, but was stopped by Li Xuanxi.

“Li Changqing is not so easy to kill,” Li Xuanxi said with certainty.

“Don’t be impulsive.”

Hearing Li Xuanxi’s persuasion, Mu Qingge desperately shook off her hand, roaring, “How can you remain so calm and collected? Li Hengsheng is now wanted by the entire Cangyuan Realm. The father of the child in your belly is Li Hengsheng, right? You love him too, don’t you? How can you be so indifferent?”

Li Xuanxi didn’t get angry, just shook her head, “I’m not indifferent, I just know that you can’t do anything if you go out now, and you’ll likely bring danger upon yourself. Not to mention, the Longevity Sect is looking for you everywhere. If you leave here, it won’t be long before you’re discovered.”

“Besides, it’s Lu Qiaoqiao who loves Li Hengsheng, not me, Li Xuanxi.” Li Xuanxi touched her slightly bulging belly, “But you’re right about one thing, the child’s father is indeed Li Hengsheng. However, we can’t do anything right now. Yue Hanjun has even outsmarted the old and cunning Jiang Tianyun. Do you think you and I, a pregnant woman, stand a chance?”

“What can I do then?” Mu Qingge’s tears couldn’t stop flowing, “Before, whenever I was in danger, Mr. Changqing would always save me. But now that he’s in trouble, I can’t do anything. He’s dead, and I can’t even avenge him. Now his child is wanted, and I don’t even have the ability to save him!”

“How useless am I!”

Mu Qingge was filled with self-reproach.

Seeing this, Li Xuanxi shook her head helplessly.

“Don’t worry.”

Li Xuanxi went up to pat Mu Qingge’s shoulder, “At the last moment, Jiang Tianyun risked falling into eternal slumber to stop Yue Hanjun and sent Li Hengsheng away. Jiang Tianyun had already arranged everything for him, he’ll be fine. And Li Hengsheng is a man of good fortune; he will certainly be alright.”

Mu Qingge said nothing, just trembling all over.

“Let’s hope he’s safe,” she murmured.

“Ouch…”

Time passed, unknown how long.

Li Hengsheng only felt as if his entire body was shattered with pain. When he vaguely regained consciousness, the first thing he heard was a cacophony of noise, followed by the sensation of being moved on something.

A cart?

Li Hengsheng didn’t know how long he had been drifting in space, but as the end approached, Jiang Tianyun’s power weakened, and when it reached its limit, Li Hengsheng fell out of space, not knowing where he had arrived.

Li Hengsheng felt his body was severely injured, and although the Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body was repairing itself, it was still not fully healed.

His bones had probably all been broken before, and now they were just barely mended.

Li Hengsheng struggled to open his eyes and saw the sky. When he turned to look beside him, he found a corpse lying next to him.

Li Hengsheng was startled and sat up abruptly.

This sudden movement scared the person pulling the cart, who immediately threw the cart aside.

Li Hengsheng’s actions drew the attention of everyone on the street, and only then did he realize that he was in an unfamiliar city, surrounded by unfamiliar sights, and to his surprise, there were many Ghost Clan auras on the street!

What was going on?

“You’re not dead?”

At that moment, the cart-pusher couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

Li Hengsheng looked at the man, a human in his forties, and couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, where is this?”

“Here?”

The uncle said in surprise, “This is Ye Ghost City.”

“Ye Ghost City?”

Li Hengsheng was shocked; he had actually drifted to the Cloud Wilderness!

But wasn’t the Cloud Wilderness the territory of the Ghost Clan? How could there be humans here?

“What’s going on?”

At that moment, a burly man approached.

“Boss, this kid’s not dead, he’s alive,” the man pointed at Li Hengsheng.

The burly man glanced at Li Hengsheng and said nothing, “If he’s alive, there’s no need to take him away. Stop the chatter and keep up, we need to leave the city before dark.”

“Yes!”

The man quickly righted the cart and moved on.

The people on the street, seeing no more spectacle, let it be.

Only Li Hengsheng was left somewhat dazed, wondering what was going on. What had happened in Ye Ghost City that allowed humans and ghosts to coexist?

Li Hengsheng couldn’t figure it out.

But since he had drifted here, Li Hengsheng thought he should find a place to heal first.

Just then, a roar came from down the street, “Humans, step aside! Any unfamiliar humans, capture them!”

As the words fell, the sound of many hooves approached, and numerous Ghost Clan soldiers appeared, capturing any humans they saw.

“Unfamiliar ones, capture them!”

“Sir, I’m Zhou Si from the tavern on the next street!”

As the Ghost Clan began capturing people, Li Hengsheng was greatly shaken, but his injuries were too severe, and he discovered that his Chasing Immortal Spear was also missing.

Moreover, being a stranger here, if he resisted rashly, he could easily be killed on the spot.

Just as he was contemplating, a Ghost Clan rider on a black warhorse approached Li Hengsheng, glanced at him, and with just that look, the Ghost Clan reached out and grabbed Li Hengsheng by the collar, shouting, “Unfamiliar face, come with me!”

Without further ado, the man grabbed Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng didn’t resist, allowing his hands to be tied and dragged behind the horse.

Watching the Ghost Clan capture many people, Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.

Li Hengsheng looked at the people tied up beside him, one of whom was a gaunt young man, looking as if he had been malnourished for a long time.

“What’s happening?”

Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask quietly.

“How would I know? They seem to be looking for someone,” the gaunt young man said, “I’ve been in Ye Ghost City for over three months, and they still treat me as an unfamiliar face and captured me. It’s so unfair.”

“Looking for someone?”

Li Hengsheng didn’t ask further.

He just followed behind these Ghost Clan people.

After several hours and capturing several hundred people on the street, the Ghost Clan soldiers finally took them to a dungeon and threw them all in, dozens of people crammed into one cell.

It was overcrowded.

Li Hengsheng huddled in a corner, recovering from his injuries while listening to their conversations.

He began to understand Ye Ghost City a bit more.

This place was indeed in the Cloud Wilderness.

The territory of the Ghost Clan.

But Ye Ghost City was a very special place within the Cloud Wilderness; the city lord allowed the presence of humans and even issued a decree that the Ghost Clan here were not allowed to persecute humans without cause.

Moreover, in the entire Ye Ghost City, there were no Blood Ghosts.

So they didn’t need to live by sucking human blood.

Rumor had it that the city lord himself had a grudge against the Blood Ghost Clan, and most of the Ghost Clan in Ye Ghost City belonged to the Strength Ghost Clan.

These Strength Ghosts were naturally strong and robust. Even a five-year-old Strength Ghost child could easily lift 300 pounds.

Despite humans having a place here, they were still lowly and without status among the Ghost Clan.

Even with the city lord’s decree against unwarranted persecution of humans, looking around the entire Ye Ghost City, there were only a handful of humans with status.

Now that they had been captured, the place where they were imprisoned was General Dekang’s dungeon.

General Dekang was one of the three great Ghost Generals.

A trusted subordinate of the city lord.

Terrifyingly powerful.

Now, it was unknown why General Dekang had them captured and who he was looking for.

“Buddy, you must be new to Ye Ghost City, right? Where are you from?” At this time, someone poked Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng looked over and saw it was the gaunt young man who had been tied up with him earlier.

“From outside the city,” Li Hengsheng replied.

“The outside world is vast,” the young man said dismissively, then introduced himself, “My name is Huang Li. What’s yours?”

“I…” Li Hengsheng was about to speak.

But at that moment, footsteps and loud Ghost Clan voices came from outside, “Stand properly!”

Everyone quickly stood up.

Several Ghost Clan soldiers escorted a man in blue over. The man in blue had a sharp gaze, sweeping over the people in front of him.

He had innate cultivation, so those who met his gaze felt a sense of oppression.

“It’s Lord Hai.”

Someone whispered.

Some recognized the man in blue.

Li Hengsheng glanced at the man, surprised to find that he was a human.

These Ghost Clan were so respectful to a human, indicating that this human had a high status in General Dekang’s mansion.

“This man is one of the leaders in General Dekang’s mansion,” Huang Li whispered to Li Hengsheng, “It’s said that he came from the human lands a long time ago, but later, because of his strength, he caught General Dekang’s eye and was taken under his command. Now he’s become a leader.”

“From the human lands?” Li Hengsheng was surprised.

“His name is Hai Dongsheng, but don’t be fooled by his being human. This man is ruthless and has no care for our fellow humans. Don’t offend him.”

Hearing Huang Li’s words, Li Hengsheng’s heart jolted.

Hai Dongsheng!

It was him!

Back in Path Mark City, the man from Minghai Trading Company, the second son of the Hai family.

Later, when the Hai family patriarch Hai Songtao was killed and the Hai family fell, Minghai Trading Company collapsed overnight. The Hai family’s enemies slaughtered everyone in the Hai family, but one person escaped.

It was Hai Dongsheng, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Everyone thought Hai Dongsheng must be dead, but to Li Hengsheng’s surprise, he encountered him here.

If it came down to it, the Hai family and Changqing Trading Company should be mortal enemies.

He couldn’t let him know his identity, otherwise, he might not even know how he died.

Hai Dongsheng glanced at the people, then a Ghost Clan brought him a chair to sit down.

“Come forward one by one and state your names,” the Ghost Clan soldier ordered.

No one dared to delay, and they quickly lined up to state their names.

But after only a few, Hai Dongsheng impatiently waved his hand and said, “No need to mention these old men, it can’t be them. Bring those young ones up.”

“Bring up those with cultivation.”

“Yes.”

After the screening, four people fit the description.

Li Hengsheng was one of them.

These four had cultivation above the Postnatal Realm.

Hai Dongsheng’s gaze fell on the faces of these four.

“State your names.”

The Ghost Clan soldier barked.

“My name is Zhou Chang.”

“My name is Xu Lihu.”

“My name is Zhao Zigang.”

After the other three spoke, it was Li Hengsheng’s turn, and everyone’s gaze fell on him.

“What’s your name?”

Hai Dongsheng looked at Li Hengsheng, and for some reason, he felt an inexplicable disgust at the sight of him.

He just felt uncomfortable looking at Li Hengsheng.

“My name is Li Yun.”

Li Hengsheng didn’t know what they were looking for, but he dared not reveal his real name. Not to mention whether the person they were looking for had anything to do with him, Hai Dongsheng was his enemy. If he knew Li Hengsheng’s name, he might kill him on the spot.

In the current situation, laying low was the best strategy.
