Chapter 2774: Ghostly Autumn Sounds

Chapter Forty: Ghost Prison Autumn Sound

The ghost king and the woman in green sat opposite each other. Although they were physically close, there was a deep abyss between them.

"After the Ghost Prison, the Ghost World will be closed for ten years. You must seize this opportunity. If you can unify the Ghost World within ten years, then…."

"Then I can go see her," the ghost king interrupted her.

The woman in green nodded. "For your talent and ambition, the unification of the Ghost World is just a matter of time. But after the Ghost World is unified, the Ghost Emperor will come out of seclusion."

"Ghost Emperor?"

"Before you, the Ghost World had an emperor. He has been in seclusion for many years, and no one knows if he is still alive. However, according to our information, the Ghost Emperor has been cultivating a secret technique related to the Cycle of Reincarnation. Once he succeeds, he might become one with the Ghost World, just like the King of Mount Tai."

"King of Mount Tai?" The ghost king finally showed a hint of surprise. "You mean the King of Mount Tai who controls the Cycle of Reincarnation?"

"That's right. The King of Mount Tai is the true master of the netherworld. He controls life and death, and the Cycle of Reincarnation. If the Ghost Emperor becomes one with the Ghost World, his power will be comparable to the King of Mount Tai."

"How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. He has been cultivating for thousands of years. No one knows how powerful he is. However, he has a weakness."

"What weakness?"

"Love."

The ghost king was silent.

"His weakness is love. He has a beloved woman who has been in a deep sleep for many years. If you can find her and use her to threaten him, then you can force him to abdicate."

"I understand," the ghost king said after a long pause.

"Remember, you only have ten years. After ten years, the Ghost Emperor will come out of seclusion. Whether you succeed or fail, your fate will be decided in ten years."

The woman in green disappeared, leaving the ghost king alone in the silent hall. He looked at the empty seat opposite him, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.

"Ten years," he muttered to himself. "Just ten years."

He stood up and walked out of the hall. Outside, the autumn wind was blowing, rustling the leaves. The Ghost Prison was filled with the sound of autumn.

In the Ghost Prison, the prisoners were in despair. They knew that after the Ghost Prison was closed, they would be trapped here for ten years. Ten years in the Ghost Prison was like ten thousand years in the human world.

The ghost king walked through the Ghost Prison, his eyes scanning the prisoners. He saw fear, despair, and hatred in their eyes. He knew that these people were the dregs of the Ghost World, but they were also his potential soldiers.

He stopped in front of a cell and looked at the man inside. The man was chained to the wall, his head hanging low. He was covered in wounds, and his clothes were tattered. But his eyes were still burning with a fierce light.

"What's your name?" the ghost king asked.

The man slowly raised his head and looked at the ghost king. "I am Bai Qi."

"Bai Qi?" The ghost king was surprised. Bai Qi was a famous general from the human world, known for his ruthlessness and military prowess. He was said to have killed millions of people.

"How did you end up here?"

"I was betrayed," Bai Qi said, his voice hoarse. "Betrayed by my own people."

"Do you want revenge?"

Bai Qi's eyes flickered. "Yes."

"I can give you a chance to get revenge. Join me, and I will give you power."

Bai Qi looked at the ghost king for a long time, then slowly nodded. "I accept."

The ghost king smiled. He knew that he had found a valuable ally.

As the ghost king continued his walk through the Ghost Prison, he found more and more people who were willing to follow him. They were all powerful and ambitious, but they were also desperate. They had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

With the help of these people, the ghost king began to consolidate his power. He eliminated his rivals, suppressed dissent, and built a powerful army. Within a few years, he had unified the Ghost Prison.

But his ambition did not stop there. He knew that unifying the Ghost Prison was just the first step. His ultimate goal was to unify the entire Ghost World.

He looked at the distant horizon, where the Ghost World lay. He knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult, but he was not afraid. He had the support of his followers, and he had a clear goal.

He would unify the Ghost World, and then, he would go see her.
