Chapter 879 Activate Teleportation Gate (3)
Qi Huang immediately collected Zheng Mo’s skeletal fragments and threw them in a conspicuous place, as this way the evil spirits could quickly confirm whether he was alive or dead. Cheng Hong Ling, being decisive, took action the very next day and eliminated two more fierce lands, one of which was the Long Clan Yi Zhuang, which was of course secretly instructed by Qi Huang.
All the evil spirits on Kaiyuan Star were in turmoil. Before long, the news of Zheng Mo’s death spread, which was like adding insult to injury for them. Many evil spirits from fierce lands began to lose their composure, and rushed to the Princess Mausoleum to book their “tickets,” some giving gifts, others pledging loyalty.
Qi Huang was very satisfied. She knew her goal had been achieved, and what needed to be done now was to transfer these evil spirits to Yin Star No. 2 to grow vegetables for her.
This Yin Star No. 2 was precisely the planet they had encountered when they first came to Kaiyuan Star, a planet with a good environment but uninhabited.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, thirty days had passed. Millions of evil spirits had gathered outside the Princess Mausoleum, many of whom had arrived early and had been camping there for ten days to half a month.
“By the decree of Princess Royal, all ghost tribes shall line up in order of arrival. Leave a passage for entering and exiting the Princess Mausoleum. No one is allowed to cut in line. Violators will be killed without mercy.”
Servants, along with maids and guards, maintained order.
“Damn it, why are there so many ghost tribes lining up so early in the morning? When did they arrive?”
“I heard some have been here for ten days to half a month. Haven’t you seen the tents?”
“Why did they come so early?”
“Isn’t that obvious? With Marshal Zheng dead, we can only rely on Princess Qin Xin for protection. Whether we can leave or not is secondary.”
“Alas! When will it be our turn? We can’t even see the Princess Mausoleum.”
“I told you to come earlier, but you didn’t believe me. Look at you now.”
“What are you panicking about? Didn’t Princess Qin Xin say she was willing to help all ghost tribes leave? It will be our turn sooner or later.”
“Sooner or later? You’re really optimistic. Have you forgotten that Zhong Zhen is hunting ghost tribes everywhere? With so many ghost tribes gathered here, and with such a large target, what if she finds us before it’s our turn?”
“Oh my, I didn’t think of that! What do you suggest we do?”
“We can only offer our most precious treasures and try our luck.”
The evil spirits who arrived late stretched their necks, secretly anxious.
Qi Huang, on the other hand, calmly hid in the Princess Mausoleum to rest. Maids constantly brought reports of various rare and exotic treasures, saying that some nobles wanted to cut in line.
“Tell them that this princess does not accept gifts. As I said before, it’s first come, first served. Anyone who dares to cut in line, I will teleport them to hell.”
Qi Huang ordered impatiently, as if she had truly become a princess.
“Seeing so many rare and exotic treasures, aren’t you tempted?” Ye Xiuyun asked curiously from the side.
“Do you know what’s most precious in this world? It’s not treasures, it’s trust! The ghost tribes who came first represent their trust in this princess. If I let people cut in line, wouldn’t that be letting them down?” Qi Huang explained patiently.
“That makes sense. I didn’t expect you to see things so clearly at such a young age!” Ye Xiuyun expressed her admiration, not minding Qi Huang referring to herself as “this princess.” Having such a “clone” was clearly more beneficial than detrimental to her.
“I’m young, but I’ve experienced a lot,” Qi Huang replied in an old-fashioned manner.
“Hehe…” Ye Xiuyun smiled noncommittally, then changed the subject: “When are we leaving? With so many ghost tribes gathered outside, the noisy chatter is really annoying.”
“Don’t panic! The time is not yet right!” Qi Huang said profoundly.
“The time?” Ye Xiuyun looked confused.
“Right, because our body size, appearance, and voices are different, you’d better not manifest your physical form in public from now on, lest they see through the disguise.” Qi Huang added as a reminder.
“Understood.” Ye Xiuyun nodded repeatedly, then decisively dispersed her strength and transformed into a wisp of yin energy.
A short while later, Qi Huang felt that the time was ripe, so she led Ye Xiuyun and other ghost tribes out of the Princess Mausoleum.
“It’s Princess Qin Xin! She’s out! She’s out! Is she going to activate the teleportation array?” The evil spirits eagerly peered forward with anticipation.
“Everyone has waited a long time. This princess will now activate the teleportation gate to send everyone away. However, because there are too many ghost tribes who want to leave today, and the gate is only this big, I hope everyone can consciously abide by the order, otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Qi Huang reminded them again, and then added: “Also, don’t forget my condition. When we arrive at the new shelter, you must grow flowers and plants for our camp to offset the rent. Anyone who dares to be lazy will be thrown back immediately.
“Yes, yes, yes… We know… We know… We will agree to any request, Princess Royal, please activate the teleportation gate quickly.”
“Yes, if you delay any longer, Zhong Zhen will come to kill us soon.”
“Princess Royal, as long as you send us away safely, you will be the princess of all ghost tribes on Kaiyuan Star from now on.” The evil spirits pleaded.
“Very good! Remember what you said.” Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction, then introduced Ye Xiuyun next to her: “This is my main body, Princess Qin Xin. She will maintain order at the new shelter on the other side. When you get there, wait in place for arrangements.”
“Did you all hear that? Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy.” Ye Xiuyun also seized the opportunity to state her position. All the evil spirits only wanted to quickly leave this place of turmoil, so naturally, no one dared to say no.
Qi Huang did not delay and immediately activated the teleportation gate. The entrance on this side was in the Princess Mausoleum, and the exit on the other side was naturally Yin Star No. 2.
“You guys go first. I’ll handle things here.” Qi Huang instructed Ye Xiuyun.
“Okay, be careful. Especially Zhong Zhen. With such a big commotion, she will definitely come.” Ye Xiuyun cautioned with concern.
“Hmm.” Qi Huang nodded impassively.
Ye Xiuyun then led the ghost tribes from the Princess Mausoleum to leave one after another, and then arranged themselves at the exit on the other side to guide the subsequent ghost tribes.
“Alright, enter the teleportation gate according to the queuing order.” Qi Huang then commanded the densely packed evil spirits around her.
The evil spirits at the front were overjoyed and excitedly entered the teleportation gate, but due to the narrowness of the entrance, the speed was limited.
“Grandfather, that Princess Qin Xin is so stubborn. Are we just going to wait like this? At this rate, it will take two to three days before it’s our turn.” An intermediate golden corpse reported to an elderly golden corpse with white hair at the edge of the evil spirit queue. They were from the “Qin Family Ancestral Grave,” the seventh fiercest land in the Cultivation World.
The Qin clan was one of the top cultivation aristocratic families on Kaiyuan Star, so these deceased clan members were able to rank among the top ten fiercest lands on Kaiyuan Star with the strength of their entire clan. This was also why they arrived late.
“That stubborn woman, she’s unappreciative.” A young silver corpse next to him cursed.
“Bo’er, speak carefully. Princess Qin Xin is not weak. It won’t be good if she hears it, and we are asking for her help after all.” The elderly golden corpse reminded him. He was Qin Yang, currently the strongest and most senior member of the Zhou Family Grave.
“Yes, Great-Grandfather.” The young silver corpse respectfully obeyed.
“Grandfather, what should we do now? With so many ghost tribes gathered at the Princess Mausoleum, it will sooner or later attract the attention of that Zhong Zhen. If she attacks, the consequences would be unthinkable.” The intermediate golden corpse revealed a worried expression.
“This woman is truly pedantic. The strong are respected, so she should let us powerful ghost tribes go first. But she insists on following the order of arrival, isn’t that purely disgusting?” The young silver corpse complained again.
“There’s nothing we can do. The teleportation array is in her hands, and she’s the one who sets the rules.” The intermediate golden corpse smiled helplessly.
“Indeed, we can’t break the rules she set, but that doesn’t mean there are no loopholes to exploit.” Qin Yang raised his head and observed for a moment, then ordered the young silver corpse: “Qin Bo, I see the Li clan members are queuing at the front. Go and negotiate with them to see if we can exchange positions. The reward can be discussed.”
“What reward? Several generations of the Li clan were our family’s servants. We can directly order them.” The young silver corpse Qin Bo said forcefully.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Do as I say.” Qin Yang said impatiently.
“Yes!” Qin Bo accepted the order with displeasure and angrily walked forward with a few servants.
At this moment, the Li clan members were congratulating themselves on arriving early, not expecting trouble to find them so soon.
“Oh my, isn’t this the Li clan? You’ve arrived quite early.” Qin Bo approached and said sarcastically.
“It’s Young Master Qin. This old man pays his respects.” The patriarch of the Li clan, who was the most senior, cupped his fists in greeting, appearing very humble.
“You may be excused!” Qin Bo waved his hand casually and then said, “Patriarch Li, let’s negotiate. Can my Qin clan go through the teleportation gate first?”
“Young Master Qin, you jest. This teleportation gate is not mine. How can I have the right to let you go first?”
“Of course, you do. We can exchange positions.” Qin Bo said with ill intentions.
“Exchange positions?” Patriarch Li’s expression immediately turned grim.
“What are you talking about? Do you know how long we’ve been waiting here? You think you can just exchange positions?” A clean-cut young man next to Patriarch Li rebuked.
“You little brat, who gave you the courage to talk to this young master like that? Don’t you know that your Li clan has been servants of our Qin family for generations? If the master orders the servant to move aside, do you dare to disobey?” Qin Bo reminded him contemptuously.
“Young Master Qin, our Li clan only served the Qin family for three generations. We left long ago. Where does the master-servant relationship come from now?” Patriarch Li retorted, suppressing his anger.
“Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Once a slave, always a slave’? Enough nonsense, get out of the way quickly. This young master can offer you some compensation as a reward.” Qin Bo commanded rudely.
“I regret to refuse.” Patriarch Li firmly shook his head. He would not disregard the lives of hundreds of his clan members for a small reward.
“You’re seeking death!” Qin Bo lost his patience. He spread his five fingers, and his black fingernails emerged like spring-loaded knives, flashing instantly towards Patriarch Li’s neck.
Patriarch Li was shocked and tried to dodge reflexively, but with his strength as only a bronze corpse, he could not evade. The other members of the Li clan had even lower strength, so they could only watch.
“Are you ignoring my words?” Qi Huang’s clear voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Bo felt a chill on his right hand. He looked down and found a bloodline appearing on his wrist. Soon, it connected end to end. As black blood overflowed, his palm detached from his arm and fell to the ground.
“Ah! My hand!” Qin Bo let out a tragic cry, not from pain, but from fear.
“You little slut, how dare you injure my great-grandson!” Qin Yang, who had been paying attention to this side, was furious. He charged towards Qi Huang without a second thought, completely losing his previous composure. All the members of the Qin clan followed closely, their eyes red and their anger burning.
