Chapter 834: Chapter 834 Monsters!!!!
“Hahahaha~~~~” the ‘cousin’ cackled fiercely, ‘its’ voice sounding discordant, no longer like that of a human but rather like the chilling night cry of a jackdaw, making one shiver without being cold!
“I really didn’t expect that even with Lord Long Wu masking our ghostly aura, you would still be able to find out…” the ‘cousin’ screeched.
It was only then that Su Xiaoman came to her senses, shocked and frightened, and quickly hid behind Huang Xiaolong, her voice trembling. “Who are you really? Where is my cousin? What have you done to her?”
“Sister~~ Didn’t your Little Long just say it… I am a ‘Hua Pi Gui’! As for your cousin… hehehe~~ she was eaten long ago~~~ She was delicious… The soup base I brought back was stewed with her meat… the remaining base… hehehe~~~~”
Hearing this, Su Xiaoman immediately vomited.
In the blink of an eye, the ‘cousin’ let down her hair, stretched her left hand to her forehead, and with her right hand reached behind her head. Then, with a tearing sound, like ripping open mozzarella cheese, she peeled off a mask of human skin. Immediately afterward, a ghastly, ghostly aura swept through, mixed with a greenish gas. This green gas had a faint stench of decay but was predominantly filled with an evil and mystical presence.
Neutralized by the green gas, the ghostly aura was contained and not easily detectable!
A ghostly figure, like a snake shedding its skin, wriggled out and floated in mid-air.
This ghost had a face like a blank slate, lacking any features, not even eyes, while its body incessantly oozed ghostly blood with a sizzling sound.
“It’s you, this sneaky creature, who almost harmed my Sister Xiaoman~~” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
The skin-wearing ghost’s mouth area began to undulate, and though it had no mouth, it could still produce a hoarse voice. “Hehehe~~ you’re mistaken, I wouldn’t harm Sister, she’s Lord Long Wu’s prey…”
“Lord Long Wu? Heh~~ I will slaughter it!” Huang Xiaolong no longer wanted to waste words. With a wave of his right hand, a stream of golden light shot directly into the ghost’s body.

The skin-wearing ghost hadn’t expected Huang Xiaolong’s power to be so terrifying; it couldn’t react in time before its body was rapidly corroded by the golden light, bubbling and fizzing, and in an instant, it turned into wisps of green smoke.
With the skin-wearing ghost obliterated, however, Su Xiaoman’s cousin’s skin lay on the ground, disturbingly thin and still wearing a spine-chilling smile.
“Sigh~~~” Huang Xiaolong shook his head, then used the Samadhi True Fire to burn the skin to ashes.
“Little Long~~ my cousin, she…” Su Xiaoman leaned on Huang Xiaolong’s shoulder, crying bitterly.
“This… Sister Xiaoman, I can only say, may your heart find peace…” Huang Xiaolong helped Su Xiaoman to sit on the couch and held her gently in his arms, comforting her softly. “Sister Xiaoman, don’t cry, you must take care of yourself. I promise you, I will kill that Long Wu and avenge your cousin, okay?”
Su Xiaoman sobbed for a while, and under Huang Xiaolong’s comforting, her emotions stabilized slightly. “Little Long, what’s the deal with this skin-wearing ghost? Why did you say it’s not easily detected?”
“Sister Xiaoman, skin-wearing ghosts are very cunning and strange ghosts. Usually in life, they are ugly men or women who envy beautiful men and women. After death, they like to flay the skin of handsome men and beautiful women and wear it themselves. Some skin-wearing ghosts even collect countless human skins, changing them daily, wearing different skins…” Huang Xiaolong narrated slowly.
Su Xiaoman shuddered at the thought. “That’s too horrible~~ truly too horrible…”
“Then… that Long Wu from Shuiyue Dongtian, is it also a skin-wearing ghost?” Su Xiaoman said through clenched teeth. “Little Long, you must eradicate it!”
“No… Lord Long Wu, it’s very likely not a ghost,” Huang Xiaolong picked up the invitation again and opened it, only to see every character on it emitting a faint green aura, accompanied by a rank, musty smell. “This invitation carries the presence of demon energy. The reason that specter in disguise was not easy to detect is that its ghostly essence is mingled with just the right amount of demon energy, effectively concealing it…”
Yes, demon energy! The green vapors that had emitted from that specter in disguise were indeed demon energy! The demon energy had masked the ghostly essence! Since Ying Kexin was a Ghost King, she might have never encountered a “demon,” so she hadn’t noticed from start to finish!
Of course, now Ying Kexin is likely unaware that Long Wu of the Shui Yue Cave Heaven is probably a demon!
“Xiaolong… Long Wu is a demon?” Su Xiaoman was terrified to death.
“There’s a ninety percent chance,” Huang Xiaolong said directly. “Maybe even more.”
“Then what kind of demon is it?” Su Xiaoman unquestionably believed what Huang Xiaolong said.
“That I’m not too clear on,” Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment. “I’m very, very familiar with ghosts, no matter the kind. A simple whiff of their scent and I can make the most accurate judgments. But demons… Sister Xiaoman, I’m not nearly as familiar with demons.”
Indeed, everyone has their specialty, and Huang Xiaolong as the Underworld’s Yin Emperor, had an instinctive understanding of tormented souls and fierce ghosts, but as for demons, that was really not his expertise.
“However, Sister Xiaoman, by tomorrow, I’ll know the answer,” Huang Xiaolong suddenly smiled.
“Tomorrow?” Su Xiaoman was astonished.
“Yes, Sister Xiaoman, look at this invitation. Isn’t the demon Long Wu inviting you to enjoy a wonderful meal at Shui Yue Cave Heaven tomorrow night at eight?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered, and a chilling intent swept past. “Sister Xiaoman, this demon… it’s treating you as its prey…”
Pausing for a moment, Huang Xiaolong muttered, “Sister Xiaoman, you said the rules of Shui Yue Cave Heaven are strange, guests who come on their own are never received. Only those who receive an invitation can enjoy the feast… erm, that is to say, the human flesh banquet… So… these days, anyone who received an invitation and went to Shui Yue Cave Heaven could possibly—”
“End up like my cousin, killed by the demon!” Su Xiaoman screamed in fright.
“Hmm,” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “Which means that currently in Binhai, there are quite a few specters in disguise, parading around in their victims’ skin… Heh, Long Wu? You’re done for! Coming to the sacred land of Binhai to cause trouble, you’re definitely done for! No matter what kind of demon you are, I will exterminate you!”
In his Binhai territory, Huang Xiaolong had pretty much cleared all the malicious ghosts a long time ago, and with Ying Kexin presiding over the City God Temple, it meant that no supernatural events would occur there for many years to come.
But this time, for a demon like Long Wu to cause trouble on Huang Xiaolong’s turf, this was a provocation!
Huang Xiaolong immediately called Ma Chuxia. “My dear wife, listen well, have the four great families of Binhai assist you in checking the recent guest list for those who dined at Shui Yue Cave Heaven… then track these people down… Be careful, my dear, it’s highly possible that all of them are specters in disguise.”
After finishing the call with Ma Chuxia, Su Xiaoman asked, “Xiaolong, what about tomorrow night?”
“Sister Xiaoman, tomorrow night at eight, I’ll join you punctually, and we will head to Shui Yue Cave Heaven—to slay the demon!!!!” Huang Xiaolong asserted with an intensity in his gaze.
