Chapter 805: Chapter 816: I Am the Insect Exterminator
Fukushima Ghost City.
It is a small city on Japan’s coastline.
Several years ago, a nuclear power plant here exploded for reasons unknown, killing hundreds of thousands. The entire city was contaminated by nuclear radiation, making it uninhabitable and marked as a forbidden zone by humans.
Although ordinary people fear radiation, these Demon Cultivators do not. Moreover, because there are very few mortals here, it is convenient for Demon Cultivators to operate, and it gradually became a gathering place for them. Some have even chosen to live and practice here.
Occasionally, some ordinary people accidentally wander in, and the Demon Cultivators use spells to scare them away.
Therefore, ordinary people believe ghosts appear in the city, and it came to be known as Ghost City.
On this day, the Demon Cultivators originally residing in Ghost City suddenly noticed many more Demon Cultivators arriving, each group led by an ancestor at the Demon Emperor Great Perfection level.
The local Demon Cultivators in Ghost City started to gossip wildly, but soon they all understood that these ancestors came because of the much-talked-about Insect Exterminator youth.
With this, the Demon Cultivators in Ghost City got excited, planning to take advantage of the situation. If they could seize the chance to kill this Insect Exterminator youth, maybe they could even share in some of the Three-leaf Ancestor’s power.
Within a few days, all Seven Great Ancestors had arrived in Ghost City. They each occupied a corner of the city, pitching large camps and tents, settling down.
On the last day, Three-leaf Ancestor also arrived with his disciples, and thus, in the small Ghost City, all Eight Great Ancestors were gathered.
At this time, Three-leaf Ancestor occupied an abandoned high building and stationed himself on its rooftop.
This high building used to house the Fukushima Bank, but after the radiation explosion, it had become an empty shell.
Sitting in a makeshift tent on the high building, Three-leaf Ancestor asked his followers, “Where is the Insect Exterminator youth now?”
Immediately, a disciple reported back, “Reporting to Ancestor, he’s only one mile away from Ghost City.”
Three-leaf Ancestor, with a grim expression, said, “The Insect Exterminator youth should have already known about my Blood Soul Pursuit Order. Instead of hiding, he comes to this bustling Ghost City; what is his intention?”
At this moment, a tall, thin man with triangular eyes next to Three-leaf Ancestor said, “Ancestor, I suspect this is the brilliance of the Insect Exterminator youth. If he hid in the wilderness, we could easily find him. However, if he hides in a bustling place like this, so many people could shield him, making it easier for him to hide. But perhaps he didn’t expect all Eight Great Ancestors to be waiting for him here.”
Hearing this, Three-leaf Ancestor huffed coldly, “You make sense. However, since I’m here, if he wants to hide, it won’t be so easy. Immediately arrange for people at the Ghost City entrance. Once the Insect Exterminator youth enters the city, notify the Seven Great Ancestors immediately.”
Hearing Three-leaf Ancestor’s order, the tall man with triangular eyes agreed and led several people out of the building.
But in no time at all, the tall man with triangular eyes returned.
Three-leaf Ancestor’s expression chilled, “Didn’t I instruct you to keep a close watch on the Insect Exterminator youth to prevent him from blending into the crowd?”
The tall man with triangular eyes smiled wryly and said, “Ancestor, it seems there’s no need for me this time.”
“What do you mean?” Three-leaf Ancestor asked.
“Ancestor, please come and see for yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Three-leaf Ancestor huffed again but stood up, walked out of the tent, and to the edge of the rooftop to look down.
Just as he stepped out of the tent, he heard the sound of gongs below, accompanied by indistinct shouts.
Three-leaf Ancestor hurriedly walked a few steps to the rooftop edge and looked down.
When he saw the scene below, his nose twitched with anger, and he cursed, “What an arrogant boy!”
On the main road of Ghost City, Wang Yan was striding into the city.
Behind him stood Sibi and four others. However, Sibi held a gong in hand and was beating it as they walked.
And among the four with Gui Yi, each pair held a banner, following Wang Yan on either side.
The banner on the left read, “I am the Insect Exterminator.”
The one on the right read, “The Insect Exterminator is me.”
Wang Yan also held a sign on his shoulder with four words, “Do not mistake.”
“What? Do not mistake! Do not mistake!”
Three-leaf Ancestor stared at Wang Yan below, his eyes nearly bulging out.
The person targeted by the Blood Soul Pursuit Order usually flees like a stray dog, nowhere near as ostentatious as Wang Yan.
Moreover, he not only beat gongs and held up banners but also brazenly told everyone, don’t get it wrong.
What does he take the Blood Soul Pursuit Order for? A matchmaking event?
Wang Yan’s city entrance posture was simply a blatant display of contempt towards Three-leaf Ancestor.
Three-leaf Ancestor gritted his teeth, vowing viciously, “Fine, I’ll see you act rampant now, as the Seven Great Ancestors will soon come to kill you.”
After speaking, Three-leaf Ancestor looked towards the seven large camps within the city, where the Seven Great Ancestors were gathered with their disciples.
Three-leaf Ancestor believed that as soon as Wang Yan appeared, the Seven Great Ancestors would immediately compete to kill him. However, to Three-leaf Ancestor’s surprise, not a single one of those camps showed any sign of movement.
“What is all this? Did I not issue the Blood Soul Pursuit Order?”
Looking up at the sky, Three-leaf Ancestor saw the black token still hanging high, emitting streaks of black light.
Yet, despite the Blood Soul Pursuit Order being in place, the Seven Great Ancestors showed no intention of executing it.
Initially, the activation of the Blood Soul Pursuit Order had left Three-leaf Ancestor somewhat unstable in cultivation, and now, enraged by Wang Yan, his anger surged to the point of feeling discomfort in his chest. Then, with a “puh” sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Subsequently, Three-leaf Ancestor staggered backward, passing out cold.
The tall man with triangular eyes and others hurriedly gathered around, lifting Three-leaf Ancestor back into the tent.
Meanwhile, in the seven large camps of Ghost City, indeed, none of the seven ancestors made a move.
In one of these camps, Great Jin Ancestor said, “The Insect Exterminator youth acts so blatantly, he must have some trump card. We shouldn’t make any hasty moves to avoid falling into a trap.”
In another camp, Guardian Gate Ancestor commanded, “Follow my orders, no one is to step outside the camp. Violation means death.”
…
For a time, all seven camps sealed their gates. Not only did no one mobilize against Wang Yan, but not even the usual wanderers were seen out and about.
For a moment, the entire Ghost City fell into a terrifying and eerie atmosphere.
