True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets-Chapter 299 - 298: The Protection of the Ghost King

Chapter 299: Chapter 298: The Protection of the Ghost King

"Ah! You’re so vicious, how can you treat us like this?"

The surrounding black mist tried to flee but couldn’t escape, it was on the verge of collapse, emitting piercing screams that shattered the glass mirror.

Crash!

The mirror fragments fell to the ground, providing a momentary respite for the black mist.

The evil within had gone berserk, roaring in fury, the originally large mass decomposed into numerous evil beings that began attacking.

"We can handle the smaller evils!"

Dongfang Hong breathed a sigh of relief, instructing the sect of mystics to be prepared, capturing the attacking evils in the bags for containing them.

"These creatures that have harmed you, don’t you want revenge? You foolish bunch, fallen into the trap, scattered and running away - how can you win? Listen to me, let me devour you, and I’ll get revenge for you."

Xie Yunzhe suddenly appeared in the corner, enticing them.

"Found him, seize him!"

Xie Jiuxiao had been searching around for the former emperor’s shadow; once he appeared, Xie Jiuxiao detected him, eyes narrowed, waving his hand as Mu Hongxuan and the Dragon Shadow Guards pursued him.

Before touching Xie Yunzhe, the air wall distorted and they lunged at nothing.

"Hahaha, useless indeed, with Jing’an at my side, you cannot catch me."

The former emperor’s unrestrained laughter echoed from all directions.

Yu Nianzhao listened intently with an impassive face.

"Over there!"

Soon, she pointed toward the southeast corner.

Indeed, they saw Jing’an and Xie Yunzhe’s figure.

Xie Jiuxiao leaped swiftly, his sword pointed directly at Xie Yunzhe.

"Reckless, truly reckless, Xie Jiuxiao, I am your father!"

The former emperor was discovered, and anger surged within him as he roared loudly.

"My father has long been dead."

Xie Jiuxiao sneered, making a rapid strike; even with Jing’an blocking, the sword edge still cut Xie Yunzhe’s chest.

Blood spilled out, stimulating the lurking evils.

Drawn by the scent of blood, they floated towards them.

Yu Nianzhao formed seals with her hands, a golden net descended from above, enveloping the nearby evils.

"Curse you, should’ve killed this unfilial son!"

The former emperor was enraged, quickly retreating backward, ignoring all as he began devouring evils.

"Stubborn fool!"

Yu Nianzhao walked over slowly step by step, the evil roared, tried to block and erode her, but was slapped away by the mirror demon.

"Former emperor, you’re already dead, do you intend to use such wicked methods to continue existing?"

Yu Nianzhao squinted in dissatisfaction, asking, "Or maybe, you’ve been using such dark arts for ages, and the former emperor is just someone you possessed; in fact, you’re an even older ancestor of the Xie Family?"

Her words were startling, sending chills down the spine of everyone present.

"Zhaozhao, are you saying he might not even be the former emperor?"

Xie Jiuxiao’s expression stiffened, eyes brewing endless storms.

"No wonder... I remember when we were young, living in lavish palaces, mother was favored greatly. Later, father’s personality changed drastically; he became irritable and cold, throwing mother into the cold palace without a word, affecting many. My elder brother and I were just specks in the storm."

Xie Jiuxiao clenched his fists, coldly speaking, "Looking back now, it’s terrifying to think he might have been possessed, not abandoning us voluntarily?"

Jing’an’s actions paused, gazing thoughtfully at the former emperor absorbing evils, his expression indifferent with a hint of coldness.

"Hahaha, feel free to make your wild guesses, I am the ruler of this world, none can change!"

The former emperor laughed arrogantly, "Once I’ve absorbed all these evils, you’ll all kneel before me."

"Dream on! Who would give you such a chance?"

Yu Nianzhao sneered, calling, "Jiu, come forth, you can devour these evils now."

She had always restrained Jiu.

Jiu Ying’s belly opened wide, capable of consuming all the evils in the underworld.

[Master, I’m here.]

[Master, I’ve been waiting for your words.]

[These evils smell so enticing!]

The shadow behind Yu Nianzhao expanded continuously, perhaps due to the heavy presence of yin energy here.

Jiu, never having revealed his true form to ordinary people, was particularly distinct this time, his massive body covering those present, nine heads swaying, revealing nine pairs of murderous red eyes.

The ferocious beast’s pressure petrified the evils.

"Is this... Jiu Ying?"

Jing’an saw Jiu’s true form clearly for the first time, extremely excited, "Is this the pressure of a ferocious beast? Truly shocking."

"Such a divine entity, not an ordinary Summoning Talisman!"

Dongfang Hong inhaled sharply, glancing deeply at Yu Nianzhao, murmuring, "Is it possible that immortals truly exist in this world?"

"Feast!"

Yu Nianzhao spoke calmly.

Allowed, Jiu swiftly descended, all nine heads dining simultaneously, precisely devouring the nearby evils.

Hailing—

Feasting was such joy!

Jiu let out a satisfying low roar, all nine heads simultaneously blocking the former emperor, surrounding him with snake tongues.

The former emperor was finally frightened but quickly regained composure, eyes darted around, "You are a ferocious beast? You can’t eat me, I bear the ghost king’s protection. If you’re a beast of the underworld, you should recognize this as an ally’s mark, you cannot attack me."

"Ghost king’s protection?"

Yu Nianzhao furrowed her brows, immediately ordered, "Jiu, deal with him!"

A thing indeed, who could’ve known that word was a Death Sentence?

Jiu opened his mouth to devour, the former emperor frantically raised his hand to block.

A purple light burst forth, catching Jiu unprepared, sending him several meters back, startled as he stared at the former emperor, perhaps not expecting genuine ghost king protection.

"Indeed!"

Yu Nianzhao almost laughed in anger, "I’ve been searching for Xin Kui, not realizing he was by my side all along?"

"You bear ghost king protection? What is your relationship with Xin Kui?"

Yu Nianzhao walked straight over, violently kicked him to the ground, stomped fiercely on his chest, displeased, "Speak quickly, or I won’t mind destroying the protection on you."

"You you you... You know ghost king Xin Kui too?"

The former emperor knew Yu Nianzhao was formidable but didn’t expect her strength to be such that she knew Xin Kui?

"So much nonsense!"

"Hiss—I say, Xin Kui and I share deep ties, we were sworn brothers!"

The former emperor gritted his teeth, telling her.
