It was the first time he had seen a "living" third-level monster in the past few months, but he had naturally heard of this thing in Beiyuan before. There are many races of monsters with different shapes. First-level monsters will not change significantly when they cultivate to the second-level monsters, but they have more magical powers. This type of monster is actually a bit like the "cultivists" among ordinary people.

But when it reaches the third level, it becomes a thin and tall black shadow. Li Bochen once heard from people with higher cultivation in the army that perhaps it was because of the chaotic spiritual energy in the monsters, so they became a scattered group. They had to wait until they reached the fourth level to become a demon spirit before they could turn into human form. At that time, Li Bochen once thought that the "confused spiritual energy" they mentioned might be "combination of genes", so that's how it was.

But as for why he could turn into a human form after reaching the fourth level, he still couldn't figure it out at that time. Now that he had heard what Bi Hai said, he thought that it wouldn't be surprising if what he said was true - this is that his cultivation level has increased, and he is heading towards the original ghost clan, right? The ghost clan seems to be no different from humans.

At this point, Li Bochen felt a little scared. At first he didn't believe Bi Hai's words, but during this period he felt that many things could be explained in his words.

But now is not the time to think about this. He has now become one with his incarnation, and only feels full of spiritual power and great powers. He has a ray of divine thought in his heart, following the connection between him and Zhu Hou, and explored the past as before.

He had communicated with Zhu Hou once last night and knew that he had fled into the mountains with dozens of living dead and hundreds of ghost soldiers. Now when he looked at Zhu Hou again, he saw him sitting under an old tree, surrounded by more than a dozen living dead people, tidying his hair.

Zhu Hou's hair was loose, and now he wanted to try to tie it up again. But with his hands, the hair fell out in strands. When I saw him last night, I didn't see clearly the light, but now I've looked carefully - Zhu Hou's face turned blue, and there were several long holes on his body, which were not bandaged, but no blood seeped out again.

Zhu Hou must be dead. But perhaps some changes occurred because of the fusion of soul and Shan Jun before, so he actually became a living dead man with soul bound - did he realize this?

But...this is a good thing.

Li Bochen said in a deep voice: "Zhu Hou."

Zhu Hou stood up and looked around: "True Lord!? You are here! What should I do now? The city I finally took down was gone!"

Li Bochen said slowly: "Is that city more important than your life?"

Zhu Hou shouted: "True Lord, isn't people living just to make achievements? I, Old Zhu, can I offer you an incense when I am well developed!"

Li Bochen said: "How do you know you are still alive?"

Zhu Hou was stunned: "Ah?"

He really didn't realize it. Li Bochen said, "You are dead. Your life should have been taken to the underworld long ago. But because I am my spiritual master, I will not belong to the Six Emperors from now on - I have the final say whether to stay in this world."

Zhu Hou then rubbed his face and then his chest. His face turned blue and he couldn't see anything at this time. Instead, he took a step back and sat on the ground and murmured: "Die? I'm dead?"

"But you can move freely like the living zombies around you, and no matter how afraid of swords and weapons is, it is a good thing."

After a while, Zhu Hou turned his eyes and looked at the dead people, frowned and shouted, "What's a good thing? These things are not smelly! True Lord, are you saying that I will be as smelly as them in the future!?"

He suddenly stood up and kicked one of them - the living dead man fell to the ground immediately. Zhu Hou grabbed a knife beside him and slashed the body. One arm was cut open in a big mouth. He saw that there was no blood in it, but it was pus. The white maggots spread out from the pus and crawled around the ground.

Zhu Hou shouted, "Are you all maggots like this??"

This person is really unchanged and dares to act wildly in front of his true lord. But Li Bochen still said, "You don't like this tangible body, do you still want to be a spiritual god?"

Zhu Hou was stunned when he heard this, as if he had remembered something. Sure enough, after a while, he calmed down suddenly, threw the knife, and knelt on the ground: "Please be blessed by the Truth Lord!"

As Li Bochen expected, Zhu Hou's spiritual consciousness was merged with the former Shanjun here, and perhaps it was a bit vague and hazy memory. When he mentioned the word "spiritual god", the Shanjun's temperament in Zhu Hou's body instantly gained the upper hand.

Li Bochen said, "If you want to be a spiritual god, it is both a blessing and a disaster. Now there is no god in Dangtu Mountain. You can be the king of the whole land, are you willing?"

Zhu Hou raised his head and whispered: "This... the True Lord, it's not that I don't want to, but that the mountain Lord here is Beichen Emperor--"

Li Bochen immediately shouted: "I can take your ghost from Beichen, can't you still be able to seal a mountain king? You are so brave, do you want to destroy both body and spirit?!"

Zhu Hou hurriedly said, "I dare not, but the True Lord..."

Having said that, perhaps after all, I remembered "there is a difference between man and god", so I had to say again: "Okay, being a mountain king is better than a living dead man - the True Lord, what should I do?"

After hearing what he said, Li Bochen thought that Zhu Hou was a great bandit leader and it was really hard to tame. He wanted to enthrone him as a mountain master, but in fact he wanted to use him as a chess piece. Since the monster also wanted to defeat the position of Shanjun, he asked him to make trouble first. Zhu Hou should not be the opponent of the demon spirit, but at least he could find some opportunity for himself.

When he was considering this matter, he felt a little unhappy. Although he had always used Zhu Houcun's intention to use it, he also thought that this person had helped him a lot. Such a trick was a bit too much.

But now I understand that although this guy is easy to use, it doesn't last long. I really ask him to learn more about it later and have some skills, the worst result may be the Lord Devouring. If he explains this time in this mountain, it will be considered a disaster and atone for the evil things he did in the past.

But even so, Li Bochen couldn't help but think--the Black Sky Demon King Jian Chou Lang tribe said that he was using demon god methods... Are all the things he is doing now getting closer to the demon path? [Note 1]

He sighed in his heart, and then said nonsense again: "Go to find a blood sacrifice for me first. I want the essence and blood of tigers, leopards, jackals, and the core wood of a century-old tree. I will worship it here one day later, and the grass and trees are used as fragrance."

Zhu Hou responded repeatedly, but his eyes were circling, and he didn't know what he was thinking. But he soon died of both body and spirit. Li Bochen was too lazy to guess, so he took away his magical powers and returned to the Arctic Ziwei Heaven.

After arranging Zhu Hou’s affairs, I have to arrange my own affairs now - to leave a way out in the worst case.
