Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 388: Chapter 178 Old Demon, The Times Have Changed!_3

Shen Yuan was indeed correct; it was as ludicrous for a ghostly entity to enter into a trade with Yama as it was for a human to claim they would sell food to a ferocious tiger.

The 10th Hall Yama naturally restrained ghostly entities, and if he had been at his Peak Stage, he might have been able to mount some resistance with the help of his subordinate Ghost Immortals and Discarnation Divine Power. However, in his current weakened state after several eras of Spirit Energy depletion, he had no strength to resist the 10th Hall Yama.

But the Master of North Mang Mountain also knew clearly that this was his only choice; only by doing this would he have a chance to escape the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, to escape this narrow tomb.

The Master of North Mang Mountain fell silent, and Shen Yuan, who was outside the forbidden land, continued:

“I can give you a chance, a chance to live.”

The eyes of the Master of North Mang Mountain suddenly shone bright, but he knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he asked gravely:

“What do you want?”

“Hand over the item you traded with the 10th Hall Yama, and I can assure your safety.

If you can hand over your life soul, I can help you break free from the constraints of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.”

No sooner had these words fallen than a stern voice from the Master of North Mang Mountain resounded:

“Wishful thinking!”

“You now dare not even step foot in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, yet you claim to assure my safety?

To hand over my life soul is even more preposterous; if my life soul were to fall into your hands, I would be subjected to your control for life, never to break free from the bindings, do you think I’m a fool with no other recourse?”

A gradual pressure rose from the Master of North Mang Mountain, and within the Desolate Ancient Blessed Land, countless graves trembled; at this moment, he seemed to return to the era, eons ago, when he ruled over countless ghostly entities.

His scarlet eyes stared directly at Shen Yuan, and his resolute voice didn’t hesitate to declare:

“The item is in my possession; if you want it, come and take it directly!”

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan merely smiled and softly inquired:

“Currently, I indeed cannot enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to confront you directly, but the forbidden land is not without its flaws.

Within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, you cannot harm ordinary people. I just need to send in ordinary people to completely destroy everything within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

At that time, will you still be able to cling to life?”

The Master of North Mang Mountain’s pupils suddenly shrank, but he then laughed out loud:

“Let ordinary people destroy the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?

Without its original mystique, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land stretched over several miles of valley, and its rocks are incredibly hard.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Even if thousands of ordinary people were busy day and night filling the valley, it would take years to destroy it. During this time, any use of talisman tools or magic artifacts would be destroyed by me.

In mere months, the Samsara King will surely send an envoy to look for me; within such a short span without talisman tools or magic artifacts, ordinary people absolutely cannot destroy the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!”

“Oh, really?”

Shen Yuan said, a slight smirk lifting his eyebrows.

He then turned to look down the mountain.

Several hours had passed since Xue Mingzhi had descended the mountain, and in the distance, a newly risen morning sun slowly climbed into the sky, bringing a touch of warmth to these desolate mountains.

And at the end of that sunlight, a series of black dots were approaching the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land at great speed.

Minutes later, the black dots turned into massive objects; they were military helicopters flying in the air.

Dangling from the helicopters were enormous mountain engineering vehicles.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan turned his head back towards the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and said with a light laugh:

“Old Demon, times have changed!”
