Chapter 217 Not Good, The Fierce Land Has Erupted (3)
The charming youth lightly tapped his feet, his slender body leaped up, and then he landed soundlessly on the highest point of the tomb door. His crimson eyes looked into the distance, and a certain village came into view: “Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it. When my Daqi Kingdom was established, your ancestors made great contributions. When my Daqi Kingdom was destroyed, your ancestors were equally blameworthy. Merit offset by demerit, we owe each other nothing. Since you are now subjects of another dynasty, whether you live or die depends on fate.”
“Your Highness is merciful, we admire you!” the Silver Corpse General flattered.
“General Li, in the Cultivation World, the HongHua Sect still has the final say in Huang Tian Prefecture, right?” the charming youth asked downwards.
“Yes, that hasn’t changed, after all, no one in this world can shake the Immortal Alliance,” the Silver Corpse General replied.
“Then let me be the first!” The charming youth smiled arrogantly and asked again, “What is the current strength of the HongHua Sect?”
“There are signs of a rise because a peerless genius has appeared among them. At sixteen years old, he has already reached the Huashen realm and is hailed as the number one genius in the history of the HongHua Sect.” the Silver Corpse General introduced.
“Is that so? This cultivation speed is similar to when I was practicing martial arts back then. Is this person male or female?” the charming youth was somewhat surprised.
“It’s a girl! And…” the Silver Corpse General paused and added, “She is also a great beauty, and is known as one of the ‘Two Peerless Beauties’ of the Xihui Dynasty, alongside the Saintess of Shuiyu Valley.”
“Is that so? That’s great, I like beautiful women the most. After so many years, my concubines must be gone, so I can use her to fill the vacancies,” the charming youth smiled charmingly.
“But she is a cultivator, and a living person at that. Her identity is not a match for Your Highness,” the Silver Corpse General cautioned carefully.
“Isn’t that easy to handle? We just need to turn her into a dead person!” The charming youth raised his eyebrows slightly and ordered, “General Li, I’ll assign this mission to you. Within three days, I want to see her corpse. Can you do it?”
“Please don’t worry, Your Highness!” The Silver Corpse General accepted the order.
“Your Highness, can I go with General Li?” Just then, a tall young man walked out from the side. Although his face was pale and his eyes were crimson, he carefully tidied his hair, carried a long sword, wore a clean robe, and exuded a peculiar aura.
“Who are you?” the charming youth asked curiously, as he could tell from the other’s skin that he was also a silver corpse, so he did not belittle him.
“Reporting to Your Highness, this humble one is Wang Kai, the number one genius of the HongHua Sect six hundred years ago. At the age of thirty, I reached the Huashen realm. At that time, everyone said that my talent was unprecedented in this sect,” the sword-carrying youth introduced himself.
“Since you are from the HongHua Sect, why are you volunteering?” The charming youth frowned slightly and said, “Give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I have to suspect you have other intentions, such as being a mole.”
“Your Highness, I am indeed from the HongHua Sect, but that was in the past. Now I am just a zombie. As the saying goes, yin and yang are separated, and humans and ghosts have different paths. It is destined that I can no longer work with them. The reason I want to go is simply because I want to see if the so-called number one genius is living up to their name! If they want to take away my title, they have to get my permission!” Wang Kai replied calmly, his aura contained, his gaze determined, like a great weapon yet to be unsheathed.
“Very good, I like ambitious people. Granted!” The charming youth showed admiration on his face.
“Your Highness, there’s me too! I was the number one genius of the HongHua Sect four hundred years ago. I broke through to the Huashen realm at the age of twenty-eight. At that time, I was also hailed as the number one genius in the history of our sect, so I also want to see if that girl is living up to her name!”
“Your Highness, this humble woman was the number one beauty of the HongHua Sect two hundred years ago. Her beauty was unprecedented in this sect. I also want to see how beautiful that girl is. If she wants to steal my title, she has to ask if my face agrees first!”
…
Following this, several more men and women stepped forward to volunteer. Most of them had reached the Silver Corpse, Silver Bone, or Evil Ghost realms.
“Didn’t I hear that the people in Huang Tian Prefecture are not outstanding and the land is not fertile? How come so many masters appeared here before?” the charming youth asked, puzzled.
“Reporting to Your Highness, we are not local to Huang Tian Prefecture. We were all dug up by the high-level figures of the sect at great cost.”
“Yes, the locals in Huang Tian Prefecture are all shifty-eyed, short men. How could people like us appear here?”
…
Several departed geniuses from the HongHua Sect explained.
“So that’s how it is! Alright, whoever wants to go, go ahead. Just bring me the corpse of that girl!” The charming youth waved his hand.
…
Elder Zhou and the others, with their profound cultivation, only took a few hours to return to the HuXiao Sect and report to Sect Leader Guo.
“What? There’s a royal tomb in that mass grave?” Guo Chao asked in disbelief after hearing the report.
“Yes, it’s a royal tomb, and its scale is extremely grand, comparable to a small county town,” Elder Zhou confirmed.
“Why would there be a royal tomb in a mass grave? If there’s a royal tomb, why call it a mass grave?” Guo Chao was perplexed. After a moment, he tentatively asked, “Does anyone remember what was written on the tombstone of the royal tomb?”
“No, the evil source woke up too quickly, and we didn’t have enough time to investigate thoroughly!”
“I did manage to investigate a bit, but there are too many stray souls there, and the spiritual sense is blocked everywhere in the air, so it’s impossible to investigate clearly.”
“I haven’t heard of any members of the current royal family falling in that place. I think it must be those stray souls who built it for fun without understanding,”
…
Several elders expressed their opinions.
“Forget it, no matter who it is, as long as it’s awake!” Guo Chao gave up after some thought.
“Sect Leader, I think you should inform Steward Cai of the Immortal Alliance as soon as possible. The owner of that royal tomb is extremely powerful and terrifying, I’m afraid it’s not that simple,” Elder Zhou suddenly said.
“What are you afraid of? I’ll say it again, no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the Immortal Alliance? The HongHua Sect is not in a hurry, why should we be?” Guo Chao showed a relaxed and content expression and then instructed, “Elder Zhou, please make another trip to the HongHua Sect and convey my goodwill. If Cheng Hong Ling is willing to come here and kowtow to me, begging me to take her as a disciple, we are willing to speak favorably for them with the Immortal Alliance. Otherwise, let the entire population of Huang Tian Prefecture pay for her arrogance with their lives.”
…
Meanwhile, at this very moment, Qi Huang was troubled by the need to find cat food. While staying in the HongHua Sect, it was difficult to find even the most ordinary vengeful souls, let alone evil ghosts. Just as Yaoyao was about to kill her to feed the cat, Sect Leader Qin suddenly sent someone to summon her and her main body to the main hall for a meeting.
“Did you hear? I’m going to a meeting. Even if you want to kill me, you can’t do it in front of so many people, right? It would be too bloody! It really affects everyone’s physical and mental health!” Qi Huang babbled and went to find her main body.
“It’s okay, we can just kill you both, can’t we?” Yaoyao suggested.
“Kill you all? In that case, my resentment will definitely be greater than yours. Aren’t you afraid I’ll become an even more powerful fiend than you?” Qi Huang reminded her helpfully.
Yaoyao was instantly speechless. This possibility was indeed real, after all, Qi Huang’s soul was already strong enough. Yaoyao pondered for a while but still did not take the risk, so she graciously spared Qi Huang’s little life. Qi Huang quickly found her main body and then accompanied her to the council hall. At this time, all the high-level figures of the sect had already arrived, and even the low-level management such as stewards were present, which showed that the matter was not simple.
“I have an unfortunate piece of news to tell everyone, the fierce location in Meng County has completely erupted,” Sect Leader Qin said solemnly after taking a deep breath.
