Go! Each person identify a corpse, and don’t leave any for her.” Hou Biao immediately summoned his thousand evil spirits and headed towards the center of the venue, preparing to claim all one thousand corpses through the method of identifying relatives.
“General Hou, there are quite a few people identifying relatives in this venue. What if they fight with us later?”
A follower, an evil ghost, asked cautiously.
“Yes, once a dispute arises, the National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star will definitely verify it carefully. She can expose us by just having one zombie absorb blood to read memories.”
Another skeleton follower echoed.
“You are thinking too much. Who doesn’t know our Demon Lord in the Immortal Realm? If a dispute arises, immediately report the Demon Lord’s name. I’d like to see who dares to snatch people from us.”
Hou Biao said confidently.
“Yes!”
This group of minions was completely reassured.
Hou Biao thus led a thousand demonic followers to brazenly enter the corpse display area in the center to identify relatives, showing no fear of being exposed and displaying extreme arrogance.
…
“Isn’t that Hou Biao, under the Martial Demon Lord of Chongwu Star? What is he doing bringing so many people into the venue?”
“Nonsense, he must be identifying relatives. He’s not going for a meal, is he?”
“Identifying relatives? We are all not ordinary people. Can’t you see it from this distance? Why walk into the venue to identify?”
“He’s obviously going to falsely claim them. With over a thousand lackeys, he can falsely claim all of this batch of corpses. The ghost tribe members who are truly identifying relatives inside will be unlucky.”
“Unlucky? What’s unlucky? Does this Hou Biao dare to occupy other people’s relatives’ corpses?”
“Why wouldn’t he dare? The Martial Demon Lord is standing behind Hou Biao. If it were you, would you be willing to offend this formidable god for the body of a relative?”
“Uh… I don’t dare!”
“Then that’s right. He’s exploiting people’s psychology, which is why he dares to openly bring people to falsely claim them.”
“But isn’t this already considered a buyout? With such blatant fakes, isn’t he afraid that the National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star will come down to distinguish the truth?”
“Hehe, if that National Preceptor wanted to distinguish, she would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? I think she just wants to get rid of those corpses as quickly as possible. Truly, no business is not treacherous.”
…
The evil spirits gossiped.
Qi Huang saw everything and her ghost fire flared up. She had already made up her mind that as soon as a dispute occurred, she would immediately send people down to verify and give these opportunistic evil spirits an unforgettable lesson for life.
Xie Xiang was one of the evil spirits who received the bodies of his relatives in the venue. Because his eyesight was far superior to ordinary people, he had recognized his mother’s body from outside the venue long ago. Most of the evil spirits around him were the same. Anyone who came in had confirmed the bodies of their relatives. Of course, this referred to those who genuinely came to identify relatives, not those who falsely claimed. Xie Xiang stood in front of his mother’s body, weeping uncontrollably. After a long time, his emotions stabilized, and he was about to pick up his mother’s body to sign and fingerprint, but then something unexpected happened.
“Wait, where are you taking my elder sister?”
A stranger’s voice came from behind.
Xie Xiang turned his head and saw a zombie with a pointed mouth and a sallow complexion staring at him with an unfriendly expression.
Xie Xiang froze for a moment, then scrutinized him carefully, and asked doubtfully, “Who are you…”
“I am the brother of the corpse in your hands. How dare you falsely claim it in broad daylight? Are you tired of living?”
The zombie with the pointed mouth and sallow complexion scolded aggressively. He was Hou Biao, who led the team to falsely claim the bodies.
“That’s not right, I didn’t falsely claim it. This is indeed my mother’s body.”
Xie Xiang argued forcefully, then added, “And I don’t remember having an uncle like you?”
“Uncle? Hehe, I am your ancestor!”
Hou Biao cursed obscenely, then leaned in and said, “I am General Hou under the Martial Demon Lord. If you are sensible, hand over this body, otherwise, I guarantee you will also become a corpse today.”
Xie Xiang was shocked and angry, and he rebuked, “So you, you unfilial grandson, are the one who is falsely claiming. You have no shame.”
“It seems you want to die.”
Hou Biao’s face turned ferocious. He didn’t expect that such a nobody would dare to oppose him.
“Is this guy crazy? How dare he publicly insult General Hou?”
“Yes, is it worth losing one’s life for a corpse? Does he think he is very filial?”
“What a fool. That Martial Demon Lord is an early-stage Earth Demon. Killing him is as simple as crushing an ant.”
…
The millions of evil spirits watching the excitement around them all spoke sarcastically.
Hearing these words, Xie Xiang felt as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water. The anger in his chest gradually subsided, and he began to regret it.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?”
Qi Feng took the opportunity to ask lightly.
“Reporting to Elder Sister, these two seem to be arguing over the ownership of the corpse!”
Huang Ren reported.
“Is that so?”
Qi Huang sneered, then asked the two, “I said earlier that I am returning these corpses not for personal gain, but for the friendship between the ghost tribes. Now that there is a dispute, it must be clarified.”
“Damn it!”
Wu Zheng among the surrounding evil spirits cursed. He did not expect that such an ant would dare to resist him.
“Martial Demon Lord, it seems your prestige is not very good. Even such a nobody can openly ignore you.”
Fei Weng beside him taunted.
“I don’t know where this bumpkin came from. I will not let him leave Xiannv Star alive.”
Wu Zheng clenched his fists so hard that they creaked.
“He’s anxious! He’s anxious! He’s anxious!”
Fei Weng and other Demon Lords laughed even more happily.
…
With a thought from Qi Huang, a cat-eared loli appeared in the venue. It was Yaoyao. She had anticipated this situation from the beginning of identifying relatives today, so she brought this guy.
“So much food!”
Yaoyao looked around with her eyes shining.
“Go and absorb the blood of that corpse and see who between these two is lying.”
Qi Huang briefly introduced the current situation and then ordered Yaoyao.
“Leave it to me.”
Yaoyao immediately rushed over impatiently. She only had the cultivation of the late Shentong Realm, and that was a corpse of the Vampire of the Vampire level. Even a shallow sip would be very beneficial, so she was naturally eager.
“No… no no… don’t come here!”
Seeing this, Xie Xiang was so scared that his liver and gallbladder cracked. He knew that once the truth was revealed, he would have completely offended the Martial Demon Lord, and thus he would have no chance to leave Xiannv Star. Therefore, he intended to give up his mother’s body.
“What’s wrong?”
Yaoyao stopped awkwardly.
“I… I’m sorry… I made a mistake, this… this is not my mother’s body.”
Xie Xiang stammered his explanation.
“Hmph! It’s good that you’re sensible.”
Hou Biao snorted contemptuously upon hearing this.
“Are you sure? If you miss this village, you won’t find this shop again!”
Qi Huang asked somewhat unwillingly.
“I… I’m sure.”
Xie Xiang glanced around nervously.
I know you’re scared, don’t worry! If it’s your mother, say it boldly. This National Preceptor will uphold justice for you.”
Qi Huang persuaded him earnestly, but in reality, she wanted to use this opportunity to make an example of someone.
“No, this is really not my mother.”
Xie Xiang answered with a trembling voice, not daring to look at his mother’s body at all.
“National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star, that’s enough. Don’t waste time. Everyone is waiting.”
Just then, an impatient male voice sounded, and it was Wu Zheng who spoke.
“Hehe…”
Qi Huang sneered repeatedly, then said to Xie Xiang, “If that’s the case, then you can do as you please.”
Xie Xiang felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He abandoned his mother’s body and fled the venue as if escaping. The other people identifying relatives also did not dare to linger and gave up their relatives’ bodies. Those who falsely claimed were even less likely to stay.
Truly hopeless!
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly.
“Elder Sister, how can they give up the bodies of their closest relatives so easily? Is family affection worthless in their eyes?”
Huang Ren asked via thought transmission, unable to let it go.
“Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations. Since they don’t care about their relatives, why should we dwell on it?”
Qi Huang replied with feigned ease, then added, “Don’t worry, I believe there are still people who value relationships and righteousness in this world. As long as I encounter one person who doesn’t back down, I will definitely make an example of those opportunistic individuals.”
Hou Biao saw that no one was competing with him anymore. He proudly collected a thousand corpses and went to sign and fingerprint.
…
“That’s one thousand corpses. Ten thousand Ghost Tomatoes each, which adds up to ten million. Even the Martial Demon Lord couldn’t easily come up with that, right? Hou Biao actually signed without even blinking an eye!”
“Do you really think they intend to honor the contract or the IOUs?”
“No way. That Martial Demon Lord is at most an Earth Demon level zombie. This National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star is definitely a Heavenly Demon level existence. Do they dare to default?”
“No matter how strong you are, you have to be able to find them! Even the Immortal Alliance cannot locate the position of Chongwu Star, let alone her.”
“So, they intend to rip off the National Preceptor?”
“I’m afraid the Martial Demon Lord is not the only one planning to rip off today!”
“Why don’t we try ripping off too? We don’t need to honor the terms of the IOUs anyway.”
Moving his residence constantly so that people cannot lock onto him is his confidence, and you? Do you have a teleportation gate? Can you escape the palm of the National Preceptor of Queen of the Underworld Star?” “Uh…”
The surrounding evil spirits made more comments.
Hou Biao had his subordinates sign and fingerprint, then put the thousand corpses into the storage ring, and left gallantly. “Do you really think you can rip off this National Preceptor? The easier you sign now, the more painful it will be to repay the debt later.”
Qi Huang sneered inwardly, then had Huang Ren release the second batch of Vampire level evil spirit corpses.
This time, the ones who came to falsely claim were naturally Fei Weng’s thousand evil spirits. Learning from the previous experience, no other evil spirits dared to compete. The ghost tribes who were identifying relatives could only watch in despair as the bodies of their relatives were taken away by them.
Qi Huang did not intervene. As she said before, since they didn’t care, why should she be a saint.
Next were the third and fourth batches. Those who came to falsely claim were the subordinates of Gu Tao and Ding Long, and the situation was the same. Other evil spirits did not dare to enter the venue at all.
“It seems these four Demon Lords want to buy out the venue. Other ghost tribes have no chance.”
“How can such a thing happen? What should those ghost tribes who are identifying relatives do? Are they just going to watch their closest relatives’ bodies being snatched away by others?”
“What else can they do? Other than suffer in silence, they can only die to show their integrity. However, I don’t think many ghost tribes have that courage.”
“This National Preceptor isn’t managing it either. Can’t she see the problem? If those corpses were auctioned, each one would definitely be worth more than ten thousand Ghost Tomatoes, and those four Demon Lords don’t know if they will keep their promises.”
“Who knows? Anyway, if she doesn’t manage it, I’m afraid her evil spirits will be ripped off by them.”
The surrounding evil spirits also saw the problem and began to discuss it.
“Elder Sister, we can’t just let them mess around like this. If these corpses were auctioned, each one would definitely be worth more than this.”
Huang Tian reminded her anxiously via thought transmission.
“Don’t worry, they won’t be pleased for long.”
Qi Huang said confidently.
Just as Huang Ren was releasing the fifth batch of evil spirit corpses, Xiaojia, who had been peeking at the side, made a move. He was the first to rush into the venue, weeping as he hugged his mother’s body, looking extremely abrupt.
“How dare a ghost tribe still compete with the Four Great Demon Lords? Are they tired of living?”
The evil spirits were dumbfounded.
