I am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysterious-Chapter 405 - 369: Wuchang Comes for Souls
As soon as the Hua Dan appeared, just standing there, those Gu Masters and Ghost Witches close to her suddenly cried blood and fell to the ground.
Immediately after, those on the ground stood up again, striking a pose as if to perform an opera, their faces wearing stiff and ferocious smiles.
The other Gu Masters and Ghost Witches all retreated, not daring to approach.
The Hua Dan stepped with small, quick steps, heading straight toward Qiao Ling, as Cheng Ge and Xingzhu rushed forward immediately, various poisonous snakes slithering out from their clothes, hissing toward the Hua Dan.
Before the poisonous snakes could get close to the Hua Dan, they decayed into a pile of white bones. Seeing the Hua Dan approaching closer and closer, Cheng Ge and Xingzhu closed their eyes in near despair, upholding their faith in the Five Spirits Saintess, swearing not to retreat.
The smell of decay belonging to the dead carried a chill, rushing into their faces, the fear of death looming over their hearts, when suddenly a more powerful and cold aura attacked from behind them.
Cheng Ge and Xingzhu froze in place, eyes wide with terror, feeling as though there was a more terrifying Evil Ghost than the Hua Dan behind them, and if they breathed even once, they would immediately die.
Sang Que stepped step by step from behind Cheng Ge and Xingzhu to in front, facing the Sixth Level Hua Dan without any hint of fear, leaving Cheng Ge and Xingzhu greatly astonished.
The other Ghost Witches and Gu Masters had long since hidden away to a distance; among them, there was no one who could directly confront the Hua Dan. The elderly leader from before also needed some preparation time and enough sacrifices to summon the Ghost King to assist them.
Hua Dan stopped five steps away from Sang Que, unable to lower her foot. It was as if there was an invisible force clashing through the air between them, evenly matched.
The sound of porcelain cracking came from Sang Que’s arms. The White Porcelain Doll given to her by the Ghost Vendor was absorbing the harm caused by the Hua Dan to her, with its face appearing more and more like that of an opera mask.
If not for this White Porcelain Doll, Sang Que, even if she could simulate the aura of an Evil Ghost, wouldn’t be able to withstand the erosion of the Hua Dan’s power.
Hua Dan pressed her foot down hard, her peach blossom eyes smiling as they stared at Sang Que, beginning to sing softly.
"Look at the lovely sister, her brows like distant mountains, eyes delightful. Ambitious heart soaring high, life as fragile as floating duckweed!"
Crack!
The White Porcelain Doll in Sang Que’s arms shattered, and she felt a pair of hands appear beneath the skin of her neck, gripping her throat and squeezing slowly, giving her the sensation of suffocation, and leaving her with no strength to resist.
When dealing with the martial artist before, the power of Recovery had been consumed and not yet regained in the past six hours; she did not have a second life to fight the Hua Dan.
In the nick of time, a steel fork pierced out from the darkness, penetrating Hua Dan’s body, causing her delicate face to immediately swell and deform, her limbs twist.
With no choice, the Hua Dan had to abandon her attack on Sang Que, flashing back to the side of the Class Leader in the center of the battlefield.
Sang Que relaxed all over, gasping for breath. Seeing Cheng Ge pale, and everyone else from Yunzhou hiding in the distance, she said nothing, rushing to the edge of the woods to check the situation.
Pang En and Zi Ling had disappeared, unclear where they had fought off to.
Qiu Wanjun was gasping for breath, standing not far from Sang Que, finding it a heavy burden to control the Cow-headed Ghost.
His mouth bulged, and a long scarlet tongue fell out, hanging down to his chest, uncontrollably uttering sounds.
"I want to divorce my impoverished wife at home!"
"I’m not from an aristocratic family; I’m actually a cowboy hahaha!"
"I..."
Before the tongue could say a third sentence, Qiu Wanjun cut off the tongue with a slash of the Ten Victory Stone Dagger, enduring the excruciating pain and covering his mouth.
That tongue was the most powerful and vicious yin object Qiu Wanjun had ever seen, something no one would want to use unless absolutely necessary.
After each use, the tongue would continually grow, and every time it grew until it couldn’t be contained by the mouth and fell out, it would spill one’s most private secrets, forcing repeated endurance of the pain to cut off the tongue, for three days.
The Yin Child was eager for the tongue, but with the Cow-headed Ghost by Qiu Wanjun’s side being formidable, the Yin Child did not dare approach.
The blood-soaked ground was gradually returning to its original color, with all the corpses disappearing, nearly all the blood being absorbed cleanly by the Class Leader.
Even though Qiao Ling had been trying her best to seize the vitality, the Ghost Opera Troupe’s preparation was comprehensive in the early stage, accounting for all unexpected events.
The Class Leader in red pinched an orchid gesture, singing softly, "Everything is ready; only that eastern wind is lacking～"
As the words fell, the clouds dispersed, mist clearing, with the Class Leader as the center, blood-colored ripples expanded outward from his feet, swiftly transforming the entire ground into a tranquil, unruffled Blood Lake.
The Red-clothed Class Leader stood at the lake’s center, his reflection transformed into that of a Hua Dan in opera costume, with identical movements and expressions, as if different renditions of the same person. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The opera face composed entirely of various Evil Ghosts gradually manifested in the sky, with the cracks cut open by the Power of Daoist Lord also having disappeared without a trace.
The opera face reflection in the Blood Lake grinningly opened its mouth, the Red-clothed Class Leader and Hua Dan moving towards the same level, gradually merging into the mouth of the opera face reflection.
At this moment, everyone heard the sound of chains clattering, crisp and pleasing to the ear.
A pitch-black Soul Hook Lock, a pure white Mourning Stick, suddenly shot out on either side of the Red-clothed Class Leader.
The Soul Hook Lock instantly locked the Class Leader’s body, and the Mourning Stick struck fiercely, dispersing the Hua Dan in the blood lake’s reflection to nothing.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Wanjun was moved to tears, trembling with excitement, sobbing as he cupped his hands in salute towards the direction of the Blood Lake.
Sang Que revealed a look of disbelief, watching as two ghosts emerged out of thin air.
One, dressed in a mournful white robe, swaying in the wind, tall and thin in stature, holding a white Mourning Stick, wearing a tall white pointed hat inscribed with ’Profiting at First Sight’, face as white as paper, narrow eyes long and slanted, smiling yet not weeping.
Another, clad in a pitch-black robe, burly and robust, carrying a black Soul Hook Lock, wearing a black pointed hat inscribed with ’Universal Peace’, face as dark as a pot bottom, thick eyebrows like ink, with large, round eyes full of spirit yet brimming with Evil Qi, wide mouth with tusks, appearing fierce and terrifying.
Black and White Impermanence!
This world actually has Black and White Impermanence? Sang Que was deeply shocked. Seeing Qiu Wanjun’s Cow-headed Ghost just now, she had thought, could there also be Horse-faced Ghost here?
Now it was certain, Cow and Horse Face, Black and White Impermanence, Judge Yama, may all exist in this world!
The appearance of Black and White Impermanence interrupted the Red-clothed Class Leader’s promotion ceremony, with Black Impermanence using the Soul Hook Lock to bind the Class Leader, and White Impermanence swinging the Mourning Stick to sweep across the Blood Lake.
Ripples arose, shattering the opera face in the Blood Lake, with the opera face in the sky disappearing instantly without a trace.
A middle-aged man in a red official uniform, mustached, with a stern face appeared in the distance, walking steadily. As he stepped down, the Blood Lake on the ground receded, revealing the original scorched and barren land.
Though far away, Sang Que, unable to see the face clearly, intuitively knew that it was the current Prime Minister, Zuo Jinye, who was also her biological father.
As Mo Yan Shu predicted, he has come!
