Chapter 2278: Chapter 2273: Strategic Propaganda

Tang Ming had never heard of the name Mountain Ghost Granny before. Hence, he felt very curious.

After all, Niu Yinghao stood beside Mountain Ghost Granny with great respect.

Hu Bachang and Hu Sanqiu showed extremely excited expressions, clearly indicating that this old woman’s identity was very unusual.

Tang Ming’s gaze fell behind the Mountain Ghost. Behind her, three or four girls dressed in green tight outfits followed, each carrying a bow and wearing a straw hat.

"Are you Mountain Ghost Granny? I never thought you would come to West Continent City. Tang Ming, quickly come and pay respects to Senior Mountain Ghost; she’s the savior of your mother."

Hu Jiuzhe was the first to approach Mountain Ghost Granny’s side and spoke to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming hurriedly stepped forward: "Tang Ming pays respect to Senior Mountain Ghost."

"Tang City Lord, you are a city lord; how can you pay respects to a person of the wilderness like me? The old woman only heard the son of an old friend had returned to West Continent City, so she came to take a look."

Mountain Ghost stepped forward with her cane, then her gaze swept over Tang Ming and the others: "Tang City Lord, let me ask you. You have rebuilt West Continent City; do you have confidence in confronting the Demon Monarch?"

"Confidence, of course, I have it. But, just relying on the current West Desolation City is still a bit too weak."

Tang Ming was first taken aback, then he sighed deeply.

"Weak? No. You still underestimate the demons too much. The strength of demons is beyond your imagination. Just before I came over, the things introduced to me by the Niu Family youngster, West Continent City cannot resist the invasion of the Demon Monarch."

Mountain Ghost shook her head and then said.

"Senior Mountain Ghost, we respect you as our senior and treat you with courtesy, but saying things like that seems a bit off, doesn’t it?"

Hu Sanqiu snorted lightly and then said.

Hearing Hu Sanqiu’s words, Mountain Ghost didn’t get angry but laughed instead. Her gaze swept over Hu Sanqiu and Hu Bachang, then she said: "Really? I know that all of you have fought with the demons of the Demon Abyss before. But among you, who has ever fought against the Demon Monarch?"

Hu Sanqiu’s eyes froze and immediately refrained from speaking.

In the entire West Continent City, the only person who had fought against the Demon Monarch in the past was Tang Mosheng.

The rest were all friends of Tang Mosheng. As for who those friends were, Hu Sanqiu and Hu Bachang were not clear.

Their gazes all fell on Hu Jiuzhe. If anyone understood the Demon Monarch, among these people, it would only be Hu Jiuzhe.

Hu Jiuzhe raised his eyebrows: "Why are you all looking at me? Let me introduce you. This is the very famous Mountain Ghost Granny from the plane of Immortal Mountain in the past. Mountain Ghost Granny and the strong ones of the Green Branch lineage had stayed at Demon Origin Mountain, adhering to the agreement from the Immortal Mountain and Taoyuan World back then, to hunt Shadow Demons."

"Shadow Demons, what are they?"

Tang Ming suddenly realized that he knew nothing about the demons of the Demon Abyss.

Before, over at the Nine-headed Goose Deer, Tang Ming knew a lot about the conflicts between the Demon Clan and Immortal Mountain.

But now, Tang Ming discovered that those were all ancient history. The current Demon Abyss is fundamentally different from the Demon Abyss the Nine-headed Goose Deer knew.

"What is known as Shadow Demons are the Ghost Cultivators among the Demon Clan. The Underworld Demon Eye is a bottomless passage, and when it opens, it becomes like a Transmission Gate. Without being opened, only Shadow Demons and a few demons with serendipity entering certain special relics can arrive."

The young girl standing behind Mountain Ghost, with a hawk on her shoulder, explained to Tang Ming and the others.

It turns out that the passage between the Underworld Demon Eye and the Demon Abyss is located in a seabed cave of a place in the Demon Abyss named Vortex Sea.

The waters of the Vortex Sea possess a strange power, which has an intense corrosive effect on the flesh.

Except during the monsoon season of the Vortex Sea, the occasional winds will sweep nearby demons into the seabed cave of the Vortex Sea.

In other seasons, only Shadow Demons can smoothly dive to the seabed and enter the seabed cave.

"The strength of Shadow Demons is slightly weaker than demons, belonging to the Inferior Demon category. Most Shadow Demons are used by the Demon Clan for reconnaissance. But even so, the strength of Shadow Demons should not be underestimated by the cultivators of Taoyuan World."

The news brought by Mountain Ghost Granny made everyone standing outside the hall take a deep breath.

Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Tang Ming raised his eyebrows and then said, "Everyone listen to me."

The eyes of people around all fell on Tang Ming.

Tang Ming’s lips curved slightly, then he said, "The establishment of West Continent City is thanks to everyone’s efforts. Our Taoyuan World has not been conquered by the demons of the Demon Abyss for so long, which proves that our Taoyuan World is not much weaker than the Demon Abyss."

"The ancients had a saying, ’When soldiers strike, we defend with generals; when waters flood, we repel with earth.’ Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. We’ve come from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, Dou Niu Mountain, Demon Slayer Clan to West Desolation City and have gone through many hardships. But we’ve withstood them all. Even the old demon of West Desolation, associated with Demon Abyss, fled in disarray."

Tang Ming’s voice gradually grew louder, even the guards of the City Lord Mansion looked towards him at this moment.

Mountain Ghost Granny’s face showed a touched expression, and she smiled contentedly, thinking of something.

"Can we defeat the Demon Clan?"

Tang Ming’s gaze fell on Mountain Ghost Granny.

Previously, those attending the meeting in the conference room all shouted out loud at this time: "We can win."

"We can win."

"Tang Ming City Lord, we will definitely win."

Mountain Ghost Granny coughed once: "Not bad, at least you have full vigor in dealing with the Demon Clan. Let’s talk about how to deal with the Demon Monarch."

Mountain Ghost Granny came to West Continent City not only to pour cold water on Tang Ming but also to share many secrets about the Demon Clan.

She knew more than Hu Jiusheng and Hu Jiuzhe, even more comprehensively.

Tang Ming decided to compile these things and promote them in Taoyuan World.

"Promotion is actually very important. We need to let people in Taoyuan World know the strength of the demons of the Demon Abyss and also let everyone know their weaknesses. This way, when the demons of the Demon Abyss invade, all cultivators will become a part of the battlefield. For this, Mr. Guo Cunhou will take responsibility."

Tang Ming’s gaze fell on Guo Cunhou.

Guo Cunhou had been bowing his head in thought about something before.

After hearing Tang Ming’s words, he nodded and said, "No problem, rest assured City Lord. Old Guo will definitely handle this matter properly for you."

"Great, the promotion issue will be handled by Old Guo, while Hu Jiusheng and the Demon Slayer Clan will be responsible for the formation setup and the construction of defense mechanisms. Since we know the demons will appear at the Underworld Demon Eye, let’s turn the entire Demon Origin Mountain into a Sky Net. Let the demons come without returning, one comes, one dies."
