Chapter 876: Showing Power
Hearing this, the evil spirits in front of them instinctively avoided. Although Princess Qin Xin had not been awakened for ten years, they had never seen her before. As the source of yin energy ranked fifth among the ten fierce lands, her name was already known throughout the world. “Didn’t they say she was struck by lightning? Why does she still dare to come?”
“Yes, suppressed by the heavenly tribulation, even if she didn’t die, she must have been severely injured. Exposing herself in front of everyone now, isn’t she afraid that Princess Mausoleum will become a fish on a chopping block?”
“This is good. I’d like to see if the source of evil spirits in Long Clan Yi Zhuang will give way.”
“That depends on how much strength Princess Qin Xin has left. If she was indeed severely injured, then perhaps not long from now, Long Clan Yi Zhuang will push them out of the ranks of the ten fierce lands.”
The evil spirits became agitated all at once. After all, everyone knew that a good show was about to begin.
Although Qi Huang was a living person, she was not intimidated by tens of thousands of evil spirits. She walked directly towards the large round table in the center. Her spiritual sense had already reached the level of an Emperor-grade Heavenly Being, and she was considered a prominent figure even in the Immortal Realm. Not to mention in the Cultivation World. Moreover, due to the concealment of her Boundless Demonic Hair, she only appeared to be a living person, but in reality, not a trace of yang energy was leaking from her body.
“Is that Princess Qin Xin? Why does she look like a living person?”
“Yes, isn’t Princess Qin Xin a ghost? Even if she manifested a physical body, she shouldn’t be so lifelike!”
“But there isn’t a trace of yang energy on her; she can’t be a living person.”
“Who cares if she’s alive or not? Look at the soul mark between her brows. This is not her true body, but a subordinate soul. This is quite interesting.”
“Could it be that, as the rumors say, her true body was severely injured by the heavenly tribulation, so she sent a subordinate soul instead?”
“Who knows? But I heard that Princess Qin Xin’s strength is in the middle stage of the demonic realm, which should only be slightly stronger than the source of yin energy in Long Clan Yi Zhuang. By sending a subordinate soul now, she probably doesn’t have the qualifications to sit at the table today.”
A group of evil spirits began to discuss animatedly after seeing the soul mark between Qi Huang’s brows.
Qi Huang had now reached the large round table. She looked around and saw the sources of evil spirits from various fierce lands. The skeleton wearing armor and exuding the most imposing aura should be the owner of this Sea of Corpse-Bones.
“Princess Qin Xin, is it? Welcome, welcome! I am Zheng Mo, the owner of this Sea of Corpse-Bones.”
The owner of the Sea of Corpse-Bones stood up to greet her politely. After all, he had to act as the host. As for the other sources of evil spirits, they were all stuck to their chairs and did not even look directly at Qi Huang.
“Marshal Zheng, is it? Is this how you entertain guests? Where is my chair?”
Qi Huang questioned him without holding back. As a “Princess,” she naturally did not need to show respect to a marshal.
“Please forgive me, Your Highness. I originally prepared a chair for you, but you were late in arriving, so I had to let Brother Long of Long Clan Yi Zhuang take a seat. If you wish to sit, you can discuss it with him.”
Zheng Mo responded calmly. Since he was only a skeleton, his expression could not be seen.
“This guy is too despicable. Does the dignified Sea of Corpse-Bones not even have a chair? This is clearly him trying to sow discord.”
Ye Xiuxin, inside the storage ring, furiously transmitted her thoughts.
“It’s probably more than just sowing discord! He… or rather, everyone present probably wants to take this opportunity to test your strength.”
Qi Huang replied.
“Alas… what a bunch of old foxes.”
Ye Xiuxin cursed helplessly and then asked, “Can you handle it? If not, just stand aside. As long as they don’t see my true body, they won’t dare to act rashly.”
“Heh heh, stand aside? Do you think I’m like those minions?”
Qi Huang suddenly laughed.
The source of evil spirits from Long Clan Yi Zhuang saw that Qi Huang remained silent and thought she was scared. A look of disdain immediately appeared on their faces.
Only then did Qi Huang focus her attention on the one who had taken her chair. He was a zombie in the late stage of Golden Corpse, with considerable strength, likely only a level or two weaker than Ye Xiuxin in her prime. No wonder he dared to openly “usurp the nest.”
“May I ask for your name?”
Qi Huang prepared to use diplomacy first.
“I am Long Yu Feng, the owner of Long Clan Yi Zhuang.”
The source of evil spirits from Long Clan Yi Zhuang replied casually, appearing extremely dismissive.
“Brother Long, did you hear what Marshal Zheng just said? This chair was prepared for me. Could you please move?”
Qi Huang asked in a negotiating tone.
“No, this is not for you. This is for powerful Ghost Tribe members. If you want to sit, show me your strength and get me to move.”
Long Yu Feng picked up the blood on the table and drank it, still not looking directly at Qi Huang. The reason he dared to be so arrogant was that he saw that Qi Huang was only a subordinate soul.
“How dare you speak to Your Highness with such tone.”
Jian Yiren, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and rebuked him angrily.
“Excuse me, in the Ghost Tribe, strength is paramount. There are no princesses or commoners here, only the strong and the weak. The strong sit, and the weak can only stand as they are. This is the rule.”
Long Yu Feng casually glanced at the minions standing around.
Although the standing evil spirit minions were unhappy, no one dared to retort.
“Brother Long is absolutely right. No matter how noble a person’s identity is when they are alive, it cannot bring any benefit to the Ghost Tribe. Only strength is the key to the growth of the Ghost Tribe.”
“Princess, if you wish to sit, then call your Life Soul. As just a subordinate soul, you probably don’t have the qualifications to sit at the table today.”
“Princess, why hasn’t your Life Soul come? Is it true that your true body was severely injured by the heavenly tribulation, as the rumors say?”
The sources of evil spirits from the other seven fierce lands also probed her with sarcastic remarks.
“You seem quite confident in your strength.”
Qi Huang asked Long Yu Feng with a smile.
“Not bad. I will visit you another day, and then Princess will naturally know.”
Long Yu Feng threatened her.
“What does this Long Yu Feng mean?”
“Can’t you see? He is certain that Princess Qin Xin was severely injured by the heavenly tribulation, so he is preparing to annex Princess Mausoleum.”
“What a big appetite! Princess Mausoleum is the fifth-ranked fierce land in Kaiyuan Star.”
“I don’t think so. He might also be deliberately inducing other sources of evil spirits to attack Princess Mausoleum. After testing their strength, he can reap the benefits.”
“There’s also that possibility.”
The surrounding evil spirits began to analyze again.
“Visit another day? I don’t think that’s necessary. It’s better to strike while the iron is hot. Let this princess see what you’ve got now!”
Qi Huang had no time to waste with these guys. She used one ten-thousandth of her spiritual sense and suppressed Long Yu Feng without any warning.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the chair beneath Long Yu Feng instantly exploded, and he was pressed to the ground. Huge cracks spread out from him in all directions, causing the entire earth to tremble.
Wow!
The surrounding evil spirits were startled and retreated in terror.
The sources of evil spirits from the other fierce lands by the round table also stood up reflexively, fearing they would be affected. Only Zheng Mo remained seated calmly. Although his expression could not be seen, the resentment in his eyes trembled noticeably.
“Is this the source of your confidence?”
Qi Huang mocked him from above.
Long Yu Feng, prostrate on the ground in humiliation, struggled, but he could not break free from Qi Huang’s spiritual sense restraint. Moreover, the bones in his body made crisp cracking sounds, and blood gushed from the corners of his mouth.
Qi Huang’s imposing demeanor filled Jian Yiren and the other maids with surprise. They had never dreamed that this imposter would be even stronger than their mistress.
As for Ye Xiuxin in the storage ring, she remained silent because she was unsure if her decision was correct. Having such a powerful being impersonate her, was it wise or inviting a wolf into the house? At least, she could not judge it now.
“How is this possible? If a clone is this strong, how strong must her true body be?”
“Didn’t the rumors say her true body was only slightly stronger than Long Yu Feng’s? Does that call for ‘slightly stronger’?”
Among the Ghost Foxes present…
Among the Ghost Tribe members present, only Marshal Zheng could so easily crush Long Yu Feng!
The few sources of fierce land felt sweat on their foreheads and their hearts faltering.
“Let go of our leader.”
The minions of Long Clan Yi Zhuang were furious and rushed forward to rescue Long Yu Feng.
“Get lost!”
Qi Huang swept her spiritual sense, and the minions were sent flying like fallen leaves.
“Just as you said, the strong can sit, and the weak can only stand like minions. So roll aside and stand. Now.”
Qi Huang sneered, and Long Yu Feng was also thrown out like a sack.
With shattered bones and internal injuries, even as a zombie, Long Yu Feng could not get up for a long time.
With a thought from Qi Huang, a luxurious jade chair with phoenix patterns appeared in front of the round table. She elegantly smoothed her skirt, sat down, and then took charge, greeting the various evil spirits, “Now, can we have a good chat?”
The sources of evil spirits from the six fierce lands showed fear on their faces, and none dared to sit down again.
“Heh heh… Of course… Of course… Sit down, everyone.”
Zheng Mo smiled awkwardly and beckoned them.
The six sources of evil spirits settled their minds slightly and sat down fearfully.
“I have invited everyone to the Sea of Corpse-Bones this time to discuss matters. The specific purpose has been clearly stated in the invitation letter. Lingxi Sect summoned a Heavenly Being and eradicated the top two fierce lands in Kaiyuan Star in just one month. It’s about to be our turn. If we do not unite, we will soon be defeated one by one.”
Zheng Mo got to the point.
“Marshal Zheng is absolutely right. We do need to unite. If we act independently, no one will be her opponent.”
A source of evil spirits agreed, and the other sources of evil spirits nodded in support.
“Heh heh…”
Qi Huang couldn’t help but laugh.
“May I ask why Princess Qin is laughing?”
Zheng Mo asked with slight displeasure.
“Because your idea is indeed laughable. Even if you unite, it will only be like an egg hitting a rock.”
Qi Huang scoffed.
