CHAPTER 1191: CHAPTER 1185: A RUTHLESS MAN

Demon Eye Ghost City.

Although the name sounds somewhat eerie and terrifying, these undead come from different parallel worlds, possessing different world civilization backgrounds, and even some come from tech civilizations similar to Universe Seven, so this city combines elements from multiple worlds.

It’s not as terrifying as Zhang Menglong imagined Ghost City to be, but is rather prosperous, practically a large, modern metropolis with a hundred schools of thought contending.

Zhang Menglong walked to the high city gate; his body had temporarily been transformed by Gou Dan into something resembling a 3.5-dimensional undead creature, and this time his goal was to infiltrate that Ghost City.

Actually, Zhang Menglong could completely wreck this Ghost City from outside, but according to information from Kong Lan’s father, there are some valuable items inside this Ghost City.

They’re called Core of the Undead, a type of ore condensed by this world’s laws. The reason these undead can continue existing in such an alternative way is precisely because of these Cores of the Undead.

The so-called undead actually pin their pre-death will and strength onto the Core of the Undead to form Undead Flame. Their advancement cannot be achieved through cultivation but by absorbing the power of the Core of the Undead.

So the effect of these things is similar to killing undead and taking their Undead Flame.

For humans and demon beasts, it’s an extremely effective supplement, improving soul realm, greatly facilitating martial artists in breaking realms.

But all production of the Core of the Undead is controlled by the Ghost Kings of various ghost cities; all resources are in their hands, so the Core of the Undead becomes the hard currency here.

But since the Core of the Undead is very fragile and can crack if impacted, causing energy leakage, otherwise Zhang Menglong could choose more straightforward and violent actions.

Since he’s here, naturally he wants to do something big before leaving, and the prerequisite is first to blend into this Ghost City.

A few invisible proton robots followed Zhang Menglong, synchronizing his sight directly to those survivors around Demon Eye Ghost City.

"He actually hasn’t been recognized by those undead; how did he do it?"

"Could he be undead too?"

"Impossible, he clearly is a human. If we had such means, we could come and go here as we pleased!"

"Didn’t he say he was going to single-handedly deal with this Demon Eye Ghost City? Is this move from the inside?"

"Just watch!"

Zhang Menglong walked to the city wall, and like in human cities, there were also ghost guards in this Ghost City, a bunch of ghost guards probably around the Mystic-Breaking Realm.

Since every undead who can be reborn here comes with enormous resentment, every single one is fierce and aggressive, causing trouble almost regularly. Without some strength, once they cause trouble, there’s no one who can stop them.

"Wait!" A ghost guard stopped Zhang Menglong, "New here?"

"Yes," Zhang Menglong feigned a look of bewilderment.

"There sure have been a lot of newcomers recently." A few ghost guards exchanged remarks.

"Kid, where are you from?"

"Haotian Continent," Zhang Menglong replied.

"Hmm, that place exists," a ghost guard, seemingly responsible for information entry, confirmed, "How did you die?"

"I did too many villainous things and got beaten to death." Zhang Menglong said offhandedly.

"Oh?" The ghost guard laughed, "We have a lot of villainous people here, only more vicious, never the most vicious. I do want to hear how villainous you really were!"

"Kid, let me tell you, even among undead, there are distinctions. Our Demon Eye lord ranks residents into three levels: lower-class, middle, and upper-class residents. Treatments and status vary for different levels."

"That’s right, based on your realm, you could be a middle-class resident, but it still depends on whether you’re vicious enough."

"Everyone dares to call themselves villainous, but hardly anyone is genuinely vicious."

"I’ve done countless villainous acts."

"Pick the highlights!"

"First, I’m the most handsome man on Haotian Continent. I’m so handsome that every man wants to kill me.

"Haotian Continent’s aesthetics are so distorted?" The ghost guard, with crooked features, looked at Zhang Menglong, then at others, "We’re the true handsome ones, that doesn’t count, anything else?"

"I never take my phone to the restroom, never lick yogurt lids, always sit in the front row in lectures, sleep when I say sleep, and get up immediately when the alarm rings, pick up packages but don’t open them, take selfies without beautification, don’t spend my salary, decline invites to meals, leave phone screens broken for a month."

Zhang Menglong flashed a charming expression, "How about that, enough villainous, enough vicious?"

"Get out!" The ghost guard shoved him in and gave him a "lower-class resident" badge.

"A bunch of shortsighted fools!" Zhang Menglong showed a scornful look. These are contemporary vicious standards.

"I slept with 3000 demon beasts! Then the King of Demon Beasts got me," another newcomer undead said proudly on the side.

"I gambled with others and lost, had to eat a ton of crap, choked to death eating too eagerly during it." Said another undead.

"Hear that, those are vicious!" The ghost guard gave each a middle-class resident badge, even with eyes full of admiration.

"Damn, even I, a pervert, think that’s perverted," Zhang Menglong said, "really heavy taste."

"If you were half as vicious as them, I’d give you a middle-class resident badge."

"Bro, actually my real cause of death is another reason." Zhang Menglong gritted his teeth and said.

"What reason?" The ghost guard perked up ears, evidently intrigued.

"I grew up in a very poor family. To support my cultivation, my family almost exhausted all resources, but eventually, I decided to rely on myself."

"I met a rich woman over 3000 years old, she fancied my looks. As long as I was with her, she’d provide resources for my cultivation."

"And then?"

"One night while serving the rich woman, she crushed my hip bone, damaging a major artery, leading to my untimely death!"

The ghost guard’s mouth twitched, silently took the lower-class resident badge off Zhang Menglong, and handed him an upper-class resident badge, "My apologies brother, you’re the real vicious one, after you."

Zhang Menglong accepted the upper-class resident badge; damn, in this World of the Dead, the more perverted you are, the more respected!

...

"Brother Zhang is someone who even shows no mercy to himself when getting vicious." Watching the live broadcast, Kong Lan’s mouth twitched; there’s genuinely nothing he won’t say.

"Kong Lan, stay away from such dubious people in the future." Kong Lan’s father warned him.

"I suddenly don’t want to join the Ritian Sect anymore."

"Is it still time for me to leave?"

"So embarrassing!"
