Chapter 878: Activating Teleportation Gate (Part 2)
Qi Huang waited for a moment, and her spiritual sense indeed detected a figure approaching at high speed. The figure was tightly wrapped in a black robe, and a mask was deliberately worn on the face. The figure was sprinkled with Heaven-Concealing Water. Upon reaching close proximity, the figure did not immediately attack, but instead stayed nearby, waiting for an opportunity.
“Sigh! This is truly boring.”
Qi Huang stopped and sighed impatiently.
“What’s wrong?”
Jian Yi Ren, who was beside her, asked curiously.
“Boring? Then let’s pick mushrooms! The mountains and fields are full of them.”
Xue Ling Er, standing next to them, suggested. Her crimson eyes stared at the mushrooms in the grass, with a fervor that surpassed seeing blood.
“Pick mushrooms? Can a zombie like you eat them?”
Jian Yi Ren scolded.
“You really have no childlike innocence.”
Xue Ling Er pouted and mumbled.
“Are you a child? Still talking about childlike innocence.”
Jian Yi Ren glared fiercely at Xue Ling Er.
Qi Huang ignored the maids beside her. She looked in a certain direction and said, “Since you’ve come, why be sneaky? Come out!”
“Who?”
Several maids were startled, and their faces immediately showed vigilance.
“Hehe, I’m really curious, how did you discover me!”
The black shadow that had been tracking them from the shadows no longer hid and walked out brazenly.
“This voice? Are you Marshal Zheng?”
Jian Yi Ren recognized the other party’s identity immediately.
“No, I am not Marshal Zheng, I am just impersonating him.”
The man in black immediately denied it.
“So what? What do you want to do by impersonating him?”
Jian Yi Ren questioned sternly.
“Hand over the teleportation gate, or you won’t leave here alive today.”
The man in black threatened.
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly and then said, “Marshal Zheng, your motive is exposed, why bother being so secretive?
Secretive? If you succeed today, we won’t be able to return alive. If you fail, I won’t be able to let you live either. Don’t you agree?
Why are you so certain that I am Zheng Mo?”
The man in black asked in confusion.
“Firstly, not everyone can resist the temptation of this teleportation gate. Besides you, Zheng Mo, who else would have the guts to come and rob it directly? Secondly, on Kaiyuan Star, besides yourself, there’s no one else who would dare to impersonate Zheng Mo.”
Qi Huang stated her reasons.
Princess Qin Xin is indeed wise.
The man in black then took off his mask, revealing the familiar skull head: “You’re right. Today, no matter who wins or loses, only one side can leave here safely. My disguise was indeed a bit redundant.”
Jian Yi Ren and the other maids, facing a great enemy, drew their weapons and prepared to defend themselves.
If you can’t beat him, run quickly.
Ye Xiu Yun, who was in the storage ring, reminded her anxiously.
If this princess can’t even defeat this kind of trash, how dare I claim to protect you?
Qi Huang retorted confidently.
This princess? If you are a princess, then who am I?
Ye Xiu Yun questioned with an unfriendly tone.
Hehe, sorry, I spoke too casually.
Qi Huang could only give an awkward silly smile.
“Alright, you can give up now, right? Hand over the teleportation gate. In consideration of your noble status, this Marshal can marry you, and you can bring Princess Mausoleum as a dowry and merge it into the Bone Sea. That way, you won’t have to die.”
Zheng Mo also stated his demands at this moment.
“You truly are a toad trying to eat swan meat. An unsightly skeleton dares to have designs on the Princess!”
Jian Yi Ren angrily berated again.
“It doesn’t matter, if you don’t agree, then die.”
Zheng Mo stopped talking nonsense. He suddenly charged forward, his entire body undergoing bone hyperplasia. Countless sharp bone spurs broke through his black robe, and he transformed into a giant hedgehog, crushing towards Qi Huang and the others.
“I have Heaven-Concealing Water on me. How can an evil ghost like you, who can only use spiritual sense, harm me?”
Zheng Mo shouted, his body rotating at high speed. Each bone spur could leave faint scratches on the spatial barrier. His strength was definitely not inferior to Zhen Fei Yan.
Qi Huang’s maids were terrified, their faces drained of color. However, their abilities were low, and they were unable to dodge.
“Who told you I can only use spiritual sense?”
Qi Huang sneered repeatedly. The Boundless Demonic Hair behind her grew explosively and then coiled around Zheng Mo like poisonous tongues.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
The Boundless Demonic Hair tore through space, its speed infinitely faster than Zheng Mo’s.
Zheng Mo never dreamed that Qi Huang’s attack speed would be so fast, so he was caught completely off guard. He struggled with all his might, but found that he couldn’t shake the seemingly fragile strands of hair at all. Instead, his bones were being cut inch by inch. Even though he had no sense of pain, he felt a chill of dread.
“You don’t know my background and dare to come and rob me. Are you too foolish, or is the temptation of this teleportation gate too great for you?”
Qi Huang taunted calmly, although she knew it was the latter.
“How is this possible? Just a few strands of hair, why are they so tough?”
Zheng Mo roared with unwillingness.
“That’s because you are weak and unaware of it.”
Qi Huang teased, controlling the Boundless Demonic Hair with her thought to cut rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Zheng Mo was dismembered into countless bone fragments the size of broad beans.
Due to the resentment in Zheng Mo’s eyes leaking out, the Yin Energy within his body could not gather, and thus it all leaked outwards.
The maids looked at Qi Huang in shock, not only showing awe in their eyes, but their bodies also involuntarily lowered their eyebrows in submission.
“Come out for a big meal.”
Qi Huang immediately released Ye Xiu Yun.
“You want me to absorb this Yin Energy?”
Ye Xiu Yun’s surprise was evident on her face.
“Yes, your body is weak now, you should replenish it well.”
Qi Huang explained.
“This isn’t good. After all, you killed him. Aren’t you going to absorb it yourself?”
Ye Xiu Yun hesitated.
“I killed him with ease. Do you think I still need this bit of Yin Energy?”
Qi Huang retorted.
Ye Xiu Yun realized her mistake. Seeing that she couldn’t refuse, she accepted it with a smile, not forgetting to share it with the maids beside her.
Qi Huang then released a Spiritual Sense Shield around them, partly to prevent the Yin Energy from leaking out and partly to prevent mountain spirits and wild monsters from disturbing these female zombies.
“How did you know Zheng Mo would follow?”
During the absorption process, Ye Xiu Yun couldn’t help but ask.
“Controlling the teleportation gate means controlling all the Ghost Tribe on Kaiyuan Star. How many people can resist such great temptation? And Zheng Mo, as the strongest ghost on Kaiyuan Star currently, only he would dare to rob me.”
Qi Huang stated her reasons.
“I see. Anyway, from now on, no matter what, don’t show off your treasures anymore. You should understand the principle of not flaunting your wealth. If someone stronger than you had come today, we would have been finished.”
Ye Xiu Yun reminded her with concern.
“Of course I understand, but I intentionally showed off today.”
Qi Huang replied.
“Why?”
Ye Xiu Yun was a bit confused.
“Firstly, those evil spirits were hesitant because of Zheng Mo’s existence as a spiritual pillar. If I want to achieve my goal, he must die. Secondly, your body is weak, and if you want to recover, you need to absorb a large amount of Yin Energy. He is the best option.”
Qi Huang said with sharp eyes.
Ye Xiu Yun was slightly stunned, then said fearfully, “You… are truly ruthless.”
“It’s not that I’m ruthless, it’s his own impure thoughts. If he hadn’t been greedy, I couldn’t have done anything to him, could I?”
Qi Huang argued.
“That’s true.”
Ye Xiu Yun quickly understood, and the fear in her eyes gradually dissipated. This at least indicated that the woman in front of her was still reasonable.
This woman is still reasonable.
“By the way, when we reach the new shelter, I hope you can manage all the Ghost Tribe on Kaiyuan Star in my stead.”
Qi Huang stated her purpose.
“Me?”
Ye Xiu Yun pointed to herself in astonishment.
“Yes, you don’t think I’m helping you for no reason, do you?”
Qi Huang teased.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling, but I’m worried I won’t be able to handle it. After all, my abilities are limited, and I can’t deter so many ghost tribes.”
Ye Xiu Yun said somewhat embarrassedly.
“Don’t forget that you still have me as a clone. They absolutely wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”
Qi Huang reminded her.
“Alright, I accept this mission. It can also be considered repayment for saving my life.”
Ye Xiu Yun said through gritted teeth.
After that, Qi Huang contacted Cheng Hong Ling.
“Wife, I have killed the root cause of the evil spirits in the Bone Sea. Now it’s your turn to appear.”
Qi Huang roughly explained the course of events.
“Okay, with Zheng Mo dead, those evil spirits are like loose sand. As long as I eliminate a few more fierce lands, they will naturally be willing to leave with you.”
Cheng Hong Ling naturally understood what she needed to do.
“Not bad, but that’s not enough. On the thirtieth, don’t forget to come to Princess Mausoleum. You kill, I save, and we’ll put on a great show. This way, those evil spirits will be grateful to me and willingly grow vegetables for me.”
Qi Huang smirked triumphantly.
Within a residence in Lingxi Sect, Cheng Hong Ling ended the conversation and fell into a daze. After seeing off the evil spirits of Kaiyuan Star, it was time for her to do what she had always wanted to do.
“Qi Huang and I are now facing a double threat from the Heavenly Dao and those demon heads. We cannot just sit back and wait, so we must find a bargaining chip that can turn the tables.”
This was Cheng Hong Ling’s thought at that moment.
