Chapter 441: 441: Meeting the Ancestors!
Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Meeting the Ancestors!
In the beginning, Ying Kexin submitted to Huang Xiaolong because he had rid her of thousands of years of accumulated resentment.
However, like Gui Mengyao from the Tang Dynasty, Ying Kexin later understood Huang Xiaolong’s true identity!
The Ghost Messenger!
The one and only Ghost Messenger!
The Yin Emperor!
An existence equivalent to King Yan in the present world!
At that moment, Ying Kexin was overwhelmed with shock and awe!
After all, a ghost king is merely a ghost. Getting the opportunity to follow the Yin Emperor is a great fortune!
Huang Xiaolong rules the underworld. Though Ghost Kings are rare in the mortal world, in the underworld, they are plentiful, with even more powerful beings that exist abundantly.
As Huang Xiaolong’s personal attendant, Ying Kexin is certain to receive many benefits in the future, and may even have the chance to reshape her physical body!
At that moment, there was complete silence across the heaven and earth. Everyone on the mountaintop was trembling, and they didn’t even dare to breathe…
Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.
For example, Jin Mengqi’s worldview was completely overturned… ‘Foolish! How foolish! I actually… actually wanted to spend money to have Huang Xiaolong killed… We from the Jin Family were so shortsighted… We thought Huang Xiaolong was just a scholar, but he turns out to be a true dragon! A True Dragon soaring in the heavens! It is effortless for him to destroy our Jin Family… Looking at it now, our grandfather becoming his disciple is our honor, our Jin Family should feel overwhelmed… No way! I must notify my family about this immediately, from this day forward, we are Huang Xiaolong’s disciples, his juniors…’
“Oh, Ying Kexin, can you get rid of that annoying Purple Ghost? I don’t want to see it anymore.” Huang Xiaolong said casually with a smile.
The next second!
Puff!!!
The sword gleamed.
A Sword light that chilled nineteen continents.
Without even seeing how Ying Kexin drew her sword, the ghost body of the Purple Ghost, Fangfang, completely shattered!
It disintegrated into dust that filled the sky.
Her soul scattered.
She was beyond weak!
A Ghost King is invincible, superior to all ghosts, even more so for Ying Kexin, a Ghost King that possesses her supreme swordsmanship from when she was alive?
The title of the number one Swordsman of Great Qin isn’t just for show.
“No!!!!”
At this time, Master Qiao, Master Zuo, Master Zhao, all let out heart-wrenching screams, devastated and in despair.
They finally realized the horrific existence they had provoked!
Even a Ghost King refers to him as “Sir”, just who is he really?
A flicker of indescribable joy suddenly surged in Master Qiao’s mind-‘This guy is way too powerful, even stronger than my master! If I can follow him, I might gain unimaginable benefits! Ah, this is great! This is a blessing in disguise, having such a great backer. What’s difficult in this world for me? I can walk proudly anywhere! The wealth and power in this world are mine for the taking!’
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Master Qiao, Master Zhao, Master Zuo, all kneeled before Huang Xiaolong in sync.
In unison, they swore as if proclaiming an oath, “We, the three brothers, hereby pledge to honor Master Huang Xiaolong! From this day forward, we are at the disposal of Master Huang Xiaolong, ready to serve him loyally …”
The three brothers started to sing praises, not stopping at giving Huang Xiaolong all sorts of flattering compliments.
Huang Xiaolong gave them a sideward glance that was both smiling and not, his eyes revealing a killing intent.
“Enough, Ying Kexin, you can go back to the Ghost Soul Cylinder and rest.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.
At this time, Ying Kexin glanced at Ying Aoshan, who was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face and suddenly said, “Sir, I have something I would like to speak to that woman about.”
“Oh…I forgot, what’s your relation?” Huang Xiaolong smiled meaningfully.
“Sir, I can sense my bloodline inside her. She must be a descendant from my lineage,” said Ying Kexin confidently.
As a Ghost King with a wide grasp on everything, she had instantly detected that Ying Aoshan bore the bloodlines of her descendants!
“So, it seems you really are the ancestor of the Ying Family, one of the ten great ancient martial artist families of today,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Go ahead.”
“Thank you, sir. I’ll be back shortly,” Ying Kexin descended from the sky and walked straight towards Ying Aoshan.
People looked at it, feeling utterly inferior. They seemed to believe that even one extra glance was disrespectful. Looking at it was not like seeing a ghost, but rather offering worship to a deity.
“Get up and come with me,” Ying Kexin walked over to Ying Aoshan and said dispassionately.
“Yes, yes, yes~~~” Ying Aoshan was completely overwhelmed by emotions. She kowtowed three times to show respect for Ying Kexin before standing up. She then followed Ying Kexin to a deserted corner on the mountain.
Meanwhile, Huang Xiaolong walked cheerfully towards Master Qiao and others.
“So, you all wish to serve me as your master?” Huang Xiaolong asked, grinning broadly.
“Yes! Master Huang Xiaolong, from today onwards, you are our master!” Master Qiao and the other two masters wept for joy!
A solid backing! Finally, a rock-solid backing!
“Ahem~~~” Huang Xiaolong cleared his throat. “Well, are you guys even worthy?”
Crack~~~~~
Are you worthy?
Upon hearing this, Master Qiao and the other two masters were scared out of their wits!
But Huang Xiaolong was right. Even the Ghost King was his personal maidservant, so, by what virtue could these three Taoists become his lackeys?
Do they have any qualifications at all?
Just then!
Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly and started murmuring a spell.
The next second!
Master Qiao, Master Zuo, Master Zhao… All of their five senses were sealed!
They couldn’t hear, see, speak, or smell…
Next, Huang Xiaolong released a few fierce ghosts from the Hell Cylinder, which possessed the bodies of the three Taoist priests.
Even Taoist priests, after all their senses are sealed and can’t even chant a single spell, can only be possessed by fierce ghosts.
Suddenly, something hair-raising occurred!
The three Taoist priests first reached out and gouged out their own eyeballs, alive!
Instead of screaming in pain, they burst into terrifyingly harsh laughter. Then they directly ran towards a wall, banging their heads against it like madmen.
Bang~~ Bang~ Bang~~~
Their heads were bloodied, with bits and pieces of brain smeared all over the wall – an alarming sight.
“Yo, yo, yo, the fierce ghosts have possessed them. This is what happens when you pay for your wrong deeds.” Huang Xiaolong started laughing exaggeratedly.
Thus, under everyone’s gaze, the three heinously evil Taoist priests mutilated themselves and died by suicide.
Just as their souls were about to leave their bodies, Huang Xiaolong collected them into the Hell Cylinder.
Huang Xiaolong wondered whether these three evil Taoists of Jiangnan City had any connection with the Taoist priests he killed in Binhai. When he has time, he will have to interrogate them.
On the other side, Ying Kexin looked at Ying Aoshan indifferently.
Ying Aoshan couldn’t help but to sob with bubbling excitement.
“Ah~~~~” Ying Kexin suddenly sighed. “Times have changed, and so has the world. Who would have thought that I, Ying Kexin, would still have a descendent who is alive and well?”
At this point, Ying Aoshan no longer had any doubts and fell to her knees again. “Aoshan pays her respects to her great ancestor! She pays her respects to her great ancestor!”
“There’s no need for that. Get up. I won’t intervene in the world of the living anymore,” Ying Kexin said, slightly touched. However, she quickly regained her tranquillity. “How are our clan members doing with the three swordsmanship techniques ‘Blossom Heartbreak,’ ‘Nether Evil Flame,’ and ‘Chasing Sunlight’ that I passed down?”
“Great ancestor, the ‘Nether Evil Flame’ is missing, and the ‘Blossom Heartbreak’ and ‘Chasing Sunlight’ are each only half intact,” Ying Aoshan hurriedly replied.
“Almost lost… Never mind, I will hand over the complete versions of the three swordsmanship techniques to your master. From now on, our descendants will look up to your master. But keep this a secret for now, your master will know what to do,” Ying Kexin’s eyes flickered. “But…”
Ying Kexin didn’t know Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts in the end.
Maybe Huang Xiaolong had no interest in controlling the Ying Family?
After a pause, Ying Kexin suddenly looked at Ying Aoshan’s gorgeous figure and beautiful face that rivaled snow. She said half-jokingly, “You inherited my looks… Mmm~~ Marry your master in future. Serve him well, be submissive, and don’t compete for his attention. This is your blessing.”
“Erm~~~~~” Ying Aoshan was taken aback. Immediately, her face turned beet red, and she said softly, “Yes, great ancestor, Aoshan understands.”
