My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 551 - 256: Ghost City_2

The man also glanced at Li Hengsheng, then said nothing: "If you’re still alive, there’s no need to take him away. Stop wasting time, hurry up and follow along. We need to leave the city before dark."

"Yes!"

The man quickly propped the cart back up and continued to move forward.

The people on the street, seeing there was nothing to watch, just let it be.

Only Li Hengsheng was left somewhat bewildered. What on earth is going on? What’s happening in this Ghost City where humans and the Ghost Race coexist?

Li Hengsheng couldn’t figure it out.

But since he drifted here, Li Hengsheng thought he should first find a place to heal.

Who knew that at this moment, a roar came from the street ahead: "Humans, stand aside! If you see any unfamiliar humans, arrest them!"

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of numerous hooves, followed by the appearance of many Ghost Race soldiers who started arresting humans they saw on the street.

"If they’re unfamiliar, arrest them!"

"Sir, I am Zhou Si, the owner of the tavern on the next street!"

Watching the Ghost Race start to catch people, Li Hengsheng was also greatly shocked, but at this time, he was too seriously injured, and he also found that his Immortal-Extinguishing Spear was nowhere to be found.

Moreover, in this unfamiliar place, if he resisted rashly, he could easily be killed on the spot.

As he was thinking, a Ghost Race member riding a black warhorse approached Li Hengsheng, glanced at him, and with just one look, reached out and grabbed Li Hengsheng by the collar, shouting: "Unfamiliar face, come with me!"

Without a word, the person directly lifted Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng did not resist, allowing the man to tie his hands and drag him behind the horse.

Watching these Ghost Race members capture many people, Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.

Li Hengsheng looked at the person next to him, who was also tied up—a young, pale, gaunt man, as if suffering from long-term malnutrition.

"What’s happening?"

Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask softly.

"How should I know? They seem to be looking for someone," the pale young man said, "I’ve been in Ghost City for more than three months now, but they still treat me as an unfamiliar face and arrest me. It’s so unfair."

"Looking for someone?"

Li Hengsheng did not ask further.

He just followed behind the Ghost Race members.

After several hours, capturing hundreds of people on the street, the Ghost Race soldiers finally brought them to a dungeon, where they threw them all in, cramming dozens into each cell.

It was unbearably crowded.

Li Hengsheng huddled in a corner, recovering from his injuries while listening to their conversations.

He finally gained some understanding of Ghost City.

This place was indeed in the Cloud Wasteland.

The territory of the Ghost Race.

However, Ghost City in the Cloud Wasteland was a very special place. The City Lord of Ghost City allowed humans to exist here and issued decrees that the Ghost Race was not allowed to harm humans without cause.

Moreover, there were no Blood Ghosts in the entire Ghost City.

So they did not need to survive by drinking human blood.

It’s rumored that the City Lord of Ghost City held a grudge against the Blood Ghost Race, and most Ghost Race members in Ghost City belonged to the Power Ghost Race.

The Power Ghost Race is characterized by innate strength and strong physique; even a five-year-old child of the Power Ghost Race can easily lift a 300-pound weight.

Nevertheless, although humans have a place here, in the Ghost Race’s territory, they remain humble and without status.

Even though there are decrees prohibiting the unwarranted persecution of humans, considering the entire Ghost City, humans with status are few and far between.

Now that they have been captured, they are being held in the dungeon of General De Kang’s mansion.

General De Kang is one of the three major Ghost Generals.

He is a trusted subordinate of the City Lord.

With remarkable strength.

But now, it is still unclear what General De Kang wants from capturing them or whom he is trying to find.

"Hey, you just arrived in Ghost City, right? Where are you from?" At this moment, someone next to Li Hengsheng nudged him.

Li Hengsheng looked over. It was the same pale, gaunt young man who had been tied up with him earlier.

"From outside the city," Li Hengsheng replied.

"That’s a vast area," the young man scoffed, then said, "My name is Huang Li, what’s yours?"

"I..." Li Hengsheng was just about to speak.

When suddenly footsteps could be heard outside, along with the loud shouts of the Ghost Race: "Stand up straight!"

Everyone quickly stood up.

Several Ghost Race soldiers escorted a man in blue to the scene. The man in blue had sharp eyes that swept over everyone like a sword.

His innate cultivation level exuded a palpable sense of oppression in those who met his gaze.

"It’s Lord Hai," someone whispered.

It was clear that some people recognized this man in blue.

Li Hengsheng looked at him and did not expect that this person would be a human.

These Ghost Race members were surprisingly respectful towards this human, indicating that he held a significant position in General De Kang’s mansion.

"This man is a captain in General De Kang’s mansion," Huang Li whispered to Li Hengsheng. "I heard he ran here from the Human Race territory a long time ago; however, due to his strength, General De Kang noticed him and took him under his wing. Now, he’s a captain."

"From the Human Race?" Li Hengsheng was somewhat surprised.

"His name is Hai Dongsheng, but don’t be fooled by his being human; he’s ruthless and doesn’t show any care for fellow humans. Do not cross him," Huang Li warned.

Hearing Huang Li’s words, Li Hengsheng felt a shock in his heart.

Hai Dongsheng!

It’s him!

In Dao Mark City, he was the person from the Minghai Commerce Association, the second son of the Hai family.

Later, when the Hai family’s patriarch Hai Songtao was killed, the Hai family collapsed, and the Minghai Commerce Association crumbled overnight. The Hai family’s enemies massacred the entire family, except for one person who escaped at the time.

That person was Hai Dongsheng, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Originally, it was assumed that Hai Dongsheng had surely perished, yet here he was.

By all accounts, the Hai family and the Evergreen Commerce Association should be sworn enemies.

He mustn’t know my identity; otherwise, I wouldn’t even know how I died.

Hai Dongsheng scanned the crowd, then a Ghost Race member brought him a chair to sit on.

"Come forward one by one and report your names," the Ghost Race soldier ordered.

No one dared delay and quickly lined up to report their names one by one.

But after only a few people had spoken, Hai Dongsheng impatiently waved his hand and said, "These old faces don’t matter; they can’t be the ones. Bring me the young ones."

"Bring those with cultivation."

"Yes."

After processing, four individuals met the criteria.

Among them was Li Hengsheng.

These four individuals all had Postnatal Realm cultivation or above.

Hai Dongsheng focused his gaze on the faces of these four people.

"State your names," the Ghost Race soldier commanded.

"My name is Zhou Chang."

"My name is Xu Lihu."

"My name is Zhao Zigang."

After the other three spoke, only Li Hengsheng was left, and everyone’s eyes turned to him.

"What’s your name?"

Hai Dongsheng looked at the man before him, Li Hengsheng. For some reason, though this was the first time seeing Li Hengsheng, Hai Dongsheng felt an inexplicable aversion.

The sight of Li Hengsheng made him uncomfortable.

"I am Li Yun."

Although Li Hengsheng didn’t know what they were looking for, he dared not give his real name; even disregarding whether the person they sought had any connection to him, he and Hai Dongsheng were certainly adversaries. If Hai Dongsheng knew his name, he might kill him on the spot.

In this situation, laying low was the way to go.
