Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Seeing a Ghost

a Ghost “Waiter, let me ask you, where are the Twelve Heavenly Kings now?

We are so fascinated by them that we long to see them?” Jiang Li asked the waiter directly. The two waiters were stunned. “Who are you? You want to see the Twelve Heavenly Kings? You want to see me too?

” “Sir, you’ve had too much to drink. The Heavenly Kings are in the Upper Realm. How can mortals like us meet them? Even the current emperor, their representative in the mortal world, can only meet them through dreams.”

“Where is the Upper Realm?”

“I don’t know.”

After sending the waiter away, Jiang Li shared his idea that the Twelve Heavenly Kings might destroy the world with Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin. Finally, he said, “Within my spiritual sense, I can’t find the Upper Realm. It must be a secret place, difficult to find.”

In Jiuzhou, the immortal realm is also called the Upper Realm. Jiang Li didn’t believe that the Upper Realm in Jiuzhou and here were the same place.

Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin nodded, agreeing with Jiang Li that the so-called Upper Realm was a secret place, not the immortal realm.

After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Hongtu suggested they continue strolling around.

Several men with gloomy eyes followed the four as they left.

A young man in white noticed this and followed closely behind.

The four of them reached a small alley, where the gloomy men split into two groups, surrounding the four from the front and back.

One of them jumped out, licking the tip of his knife, and said with a sinister smile, “Hehe, you are such an inexperienced outsider. How dare you show off your wealth in public, and with such a beautiful woman? Today, we brothers will teach you a lesson: when traveling in the martial arts world, wealth and beauty should not be displayed outwardly!”

Bai Hongtu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. These people dared to block him, a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator. They must have been prepared, perhaps even all of them were at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Although they appeared to be only at the level of a post-natal warrior, they must have been faking it, otherwise where would they get the courage?

What a mistake! There were so many Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators in this world. It was bound to be a fierce battle soon!

“The candied haws in this world are pretty much the same as those in Jiuzhou,” Jiang Li commented on the candied haws he had just bought, paying no attention to the bandits.

“Speaking of which, how about we meet the Emperor? He might have a way to see the Heavenly King?” Yu Yin suggested.

“That makes sense.”

“Hey, pay attention to the atmosphere. Can’t you see how hard they’re trying to rob us? Can’t you just act scared?” Bai Hongtu fumed. He was the only one acting frightened; even Abu looked nonchalant.

Jiang Li and Yu Yin ignored Bai Hongtu.

“How dare you be so arrogant in broad daylight? Don’t be afraid, everyone. I’m here, these thugs can’t hurt you!”

A young man in white appeared and rescued the four innocent victims.

The young man in white moved with the agility of a rabbit, his strength honed to the bone marrow, a true innate warrior.

His swordsmanship was particularly formidable, combining both offensive and defensive skills, impenetrable and evident in his diligent training over a decade.

“You’re as good as I was on my first day of swordsmanship,” Bai Hongtu praised.

The gang of villains were truly only post-natal warriors, unable to defeat the young man in white, and fled in panic.

The young man in white finished his work, sheathed his sword, and clasped his fists: “Don’t ask my name, everyone. I saved you simply because I saw injustice and offered my help, asking nothing in return.”

Seeing that Jiang Li and the other three showed neither gratitude nor gratitude for their survival, he looked at them with a strange look.

He paused, then said, “If you truly want something in return, please believe me: our history was fabricated by the Twelve Heavenly Kings, and they are invaders!”

With that, the young man in white, ignoring Jiang Li and the others’ reactions, turned and walked away.

Jiang Li suddenly asked, “How much did it cost to hire those people?”

The young man in white instinctively replied, “Two taels of silver.”

“That’s a lot of money!” Jiang Li smacked his lips. How many candied haws could you buy with two taels of silver?

Jiang Li could tell at a glance that it was all acting. The movements were too fake. The young man in white hadn’t even put in any effort, and the villains were stumbling and fleeing in panic.

The young hero in white was utterly embarrassed. His pretense was exposed—what could be more embarrassing?

He didn’t leave, but instead spoke sincerely to Jiang Li and the other two: “My rescue of four people was a lie, but every word I said was true. The Twelve Heavenly Kings were invaders, and our history is a lie.”

“I believe it.”

“Perhaps you don’t… huh? You believe me?”

The young hero in white was astonished. He had always been committed to making people believe that history was a lie, but outright denial would have no audience, and public disclosure would have led to arrest. So, he resorted to hiring people to act out a facade, portraying himself as a chivalrous hero, and then telling the people he had saved that history was a lie.

However, the rewards were minimal; no one believed him.

“Not only do we know your history is a lie, we also know that warriors in the past could live to eighty,” Jiang Li laughed.

“How did you know that?” The young hero in white knew this because of family connections. Could these people also be from the same clans that had existed secretly for centuries?

The Heavenly Kings rewrote history, and naturally, they also targeted those long-standing aristocratic families. Those aristocratic families were completely wiped out by the Heavenly Kings over three hundred years ago, and the aristocratic families today only have a history of three hundred years.

The young man in white’s family secretly survived during that bloody era.

It was unexpected that other families besides their Bu family had also survived.

This was truly a pleasant surprise.

“We heard it from him.” Jiang Li pointed at Abu.

“You?” The young man in white noticed Abu for the first time.

“My last name is Bu, as in cloth, and my name is Butong.”

Coincidentally, although Abu’s name was given by Zhu Zhu, Abu’s real last name is Bu.

“Why does this name sound so familiar?” The young man in white blinked, gradually remembering the tablet he had seen in the family secret room. “How come he has the same name as my ancestor’s younger brother?”

Their Bu family originally had the last name Bu, but to escape being hunted, they changed their surname from “Bu” to “Bu”.

“It’s obvious at first glance that this guy is the type who’s stupid and has a lot of money.” Bai Hongtu commented in a voice transmission, “Using this method to tell others that history is fake, there’s no way it will work.”

Abu looked quizzical. He was his father’s second son, with an older brother. “Could your ancestor have been called Bu Jing?”

Abu’s father was Bu Wu, and Buwu City was named after him. Believing that martial arts were a combination of movement and stillness, the interplay of yin and yang, Abu named his two sons Bu Jing and Bu Dong. Abu

heard from his mother that his father had originally intended to name them Bu Yin and Bu Yang, but only changed them at her insistence.

The young warrior in white retreated, as if he had seen a ghost.

Bai Hongtu kindly offered reassurance, “Don’t be afraid. We are ghosts. I am Bai Wuchang.”

He pointed at Jiang Li, “He is Hei Wuchang.”

Then he pointed at Yu Yin, “She is a bull-headed…human, she is a human.”

Seeing Yu Yin about to unleash her Ruyi Gourd for a decisive battle, Bai Hongtu quickly held his tongue.

To prove his ghost identity, Bai Hongtu deliberately made his body ethereal, his feet levitating, allowing him to walk through walls at will.

The young warrior in white nearly fainted at the sight.

Jiang Li felt that bringing Bai Hongtu out was a mistake.
