Chapter 554 - 258: Identity Exposed?
"Yes."
The Ghost Race soldier quickly handed the scroll to the Governor. The Governor slowly opened the scroll, and on it was the image of a young man. These scrolls being distributed were personally painted by Monarch Yuehan.
The drawing was remarkably lifelike and incredibly realistic.
After looking at the painting, the Governor just smiled and said, "The City Lord has not returned yet. I suppose the generals want this portrait."
"Yes."
The Ghost Race soldier said respectfully, "General De Kang returned today. The first thing he did was to have someone ask if the scroll had arrived and to check if there were any traces of Li Hengsheng among the humans in the mansion. After all, capturing Li Hengsheng could potentially be exchanged for a Painting Immortal Level Painting Treasure."
"Hmm, if General De Kang sends someone to take it, just hand over the scroll to them," the Governor said, returning the scroll to the Ghost Race soldier.
"Yes."
The news of General De Kang returning with the army from outside caused a bustle throughout the General’s Mansion.
Li Hengsheng, who was feeding horses, heard the commotion outside and also heard people saying that General De Kang had returned. Consequently, several of the mansion’s leaders hurried to meet General De Kang.
"Who is this General De Kang, and what was he doing before?"
After feeding the horses, while having lunch, Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask Huang Li. Although Huang Li didn’t know much, he still knew more than Li Hengsheng.
"General De Kang is one of the top experts of this Ghost City, possibly at the Innate Great Perfection level. He’s very powerful, and among the three major generals of Ghost City, General De Kang is the most influential. I’ve heard that he went on an expedition to conquer other tribes."
"Now there are many tribes near Ghost City that were conquered by Ghost City," Huang Li explained to Li Hengsheng.
"It seems internal warfare among the Ghost Race is quite frequent," Li Hengsheng mused.
"Where can there be no warfare? It’s the same within the Human Race," Huang Li said while eating.
After lunch, there were still horses to feed in the afternoon.
However, Li Hengsheng’s ears twitched as he heard numerous footsteps heading towards their slave area.
Are numerous Ghost Race soldiers coming to the slave area?
What’s going on?
Li Hengsheng sensed that something was wrong.
"Take him away!"
Several Ghost Race soldiers violently seized a young human, who didn’t even have time to react before being locked up in chains and taken away.
"That one as well, take him away!"
The leading Ghost Race expert pointed at someone and said.
"Damn it, I’ll fight you Ghost Race!" The human pointed out was Xu Lihu, who shared a cell with Li Hengsheng before.
He was also a martial artist at the Postnatal Great Perfection level.
He seemed to sense that these people were up to no good, picked up a stick, and took action against the approaching Ghost Race soldiers, pressing them back.
His strength was fierce, and seven or eight Ghost Race soldiers coming at him were knocked down and thrown around.
However, the leading Ghost Race man frowned, his black shining armor gleaming with cold light.
He directly attacked, his hand forming a claw, and grabbed at Xu Lihu. The bamboo stick in his hand shattered instantly, and the strength took Xu Lihu by surprise. He was grabbed by the neck and pulled sharply, feeling all his strength drained before being smashed onto the ground.
At this moment, he realized that the strength he prided himself on was of no advantage at all in front of this Ghost Race expert.
"Act unruly here? Take him away!" the Ghost Race expert ordered coldly.
But Li Hengsheng, witnessing this, felt increasingly uneasy. Why were they starting to capture people in the slave area again at this time?
Could it be related to General De Kang’s return?
Whatever the case, Li Hengsheng knew that if he didn’t run quickly now, he would truly be in danger.
So, Li Hengsheng turned and fled.
But to his surprise, just as he made a move, numerous people appeared and surrounded him immediately.
"Arrest him."
The Ghost Race expert ordered.
"Surrender!"
The Ghost Race soldiers rushed to capture Li Hengsheng, but Li Hengsheng had no intention of surrendering.
He immediately struck back.
Li Hengsheng refrained from using his cultivation techniques. Being a wanted man meant his data was likely leaked. Using the Overlord Immortal Spear Skill or Thunderbolt Rush would easily reveal his identity.
That would be truly disastrous.
Even so, with his Sun and Moon Immortal Demon Divine Body, his strength was comparable to a god’s, and with a single powerful punch, fierce wind followed. Despite the Power Ghost Race’s immense strength, they were powerless against Li Hengsheng.
After all, Li Hengsheng was at the Postnatal Great Perfection, almost stepping into the Postnatal Peak realm. Ordinary Ghost Race soldiers were no match for him.
With just a few punches, he sent dozens of Ghost Race soldiers flying.
"Another one courting death."
The Ghost Race expert who attacked earlier narrowed his eyes. His body moved like a ghost, clawing at Li Hengsheng.
The man had Postnatal Peak-level cultivation.
His strength wasn’t weak, and with the Power Ghost Race’s traits, the power of this claw was terrifying.
But as he stealthily attacked Li Hengsheng from behind, grabbing at his scapula, thinking he could crush Li Hengsheng’s shoulder, he found to his shock that under his immense strength, Li Hengsheng’s bones felt like steel, unmoved!
