Chapter 770 – Ghost King Transaction

“But Master, is Fenglang really dead?” Xi He clenched his fist. “I don’t believe it. There must be other ways to bring him back to life. His soul hasn’t dispersed yet. In this world, there must be a way to bring him back to life.”

“I’ll think about it. Now return to Spirit Sect and tell Chang Sheng and everyone to be ready to destroy the evil spirits.” Dao Zu said, “The evil Qi cultivator this time is really too powerful. I just locked him into the Demon Realm for the time being, but I don’t know if he will make a comeback in the future.”

Xi He didn’t want to leave Dao Zu, who seemed to be injured everywhere, but Dao Zu drove him away. Xi He glanced back at Dao Zu every few steps, crying and sniffling, and finally he could only look at Dao Zu a few more times.

Yan Tianhen silently watched as Dao Zu carried Cangdi Fenglang’s corpse and came to the place where the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital was now. He then cast his magic with incomparable indifference.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged and the earth trembled. It was no less severe than when he fought with Sheng Ren before, but Dao Zu looked indifferent from beginning to end and seemed to have no fluctuation in his expression.

In the wild black wind, a skeletal head appeared. The skeleton head was an illusion, not an entity, but he could still make a sound.

“Gu Qingchen, why did you summon this King?” Asked the skeletal head.

Gu Qingchen said, “I want you to save this child.”

The huge skeleton head swayed down and even floated in front of Gu Qingchen. After looking at Cangdi Fenglang, he said, “He’s just an evil Qi cultivator. Didn’t you hate evil Qi cultivators the most before?”

Gu Qingchen: “He’s my disciple and died because of my negligence. I want him to live.”

The skeleton head broke into hearty laughter and looked very gloomy and terrifying.

Gu Qingchen just looked at him calmly.

After the skeleton head had laughed enough, he spoke, “You haven’t forgotten this King’s rules, have you? Gu Qingchen, I said earlier that your soul is the purest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. The entire ghost realm is very interested in your soul. If you are willing to become this king’s Ghost Empress, let alone saving one person – I can even save ten people.”

Gu Qingchen also smiled gently. “I’m indebted to the Ghost King’s favor, but I’m wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao in this life. I’m afraid I can’t go to the ghost realm with you.”

“The skeleton head turned out to be the Ghost King!” Yan Tianhen gasped, “I’ve only heard that there are countless races in the Boundless World that we haven’t seen before. The Ghost clan is one of them. The Ghost clan is in charge of matters after death. The Ghost King is the strongest ghost cultivator among them. Unexpectedly, this legend is actually true!”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “The things we’ve seen are too few, and the world we’re in is too small. If we have a chance in the future, we’ll certainly go to the Boundless World to take a look.”

Firstly, to see the world. Secondly, they want to see with their own eyes what the place where Master grew up.

The Ghost King was rejected, but this rejection was already expected by him. The Ghost King was not upset, but said, “If you want to save him, then you must sacrifice half of your soul to this King.”

Gu Qingchen brushed away some dirt from Cangdi Fenglang’s face. “Heh, okay. And I won’t just give you half of my soul – I’ll give you all of my soul.”

Gu Qingchen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He smiled at the Ghost King. “Don’t overthink it. I want to use the other half of my soul to make another deal with you.”

The Ghost King immediately became angry. “You’d rather die and become a ghost than become my Ghost Empress. If you become my Ghost Empress, what can’t be discussed?”

Gu Qingchen: “If there is a next life, I’ll become your Ghost Empress. Is that alright?”

“Like hell it’s alright!” The Ghost King became so angry that he actually revealed his original appearance. A mellow and ageless face came out from the clouds, looking quite attractive. He didn’t look like a ruthless and merciless Ghost King at all.

The Ghost King accused, “You clearly know that I’m taking your soul to refine it into my ghost attendants, yet you still said these words to make me waver. This King hates you!”

Gu Qingchen looked at the face that looked both familiar and unfamiliar and couldn’t help laughing gently. His cold eyes also had a bit of tenderness.

“It’s true that I’m trying to make you waver. Didn’t you also say that I’m the most deceptive person you’ve ever seen?” Gu Qingchen narrowed his eyes and smiled gently, as if the sky was clear. “Anyway, my soul is yours. Whether you want to refine me into a ghost envoy or a puppet in the future is up to you.”

The Ghost King glared with a pair of scarlet eyes. After a long time, he said angrily, “What do you want to exchange with this King for the other half of your soul?”

Gu Qingchen: “I want to exchange the right for my other disciple to reincarnate.”

The Ghost King was stunned. “What’s the matter with your other disciple? Why can’t he reincarnate?”

“He’s a pure-blooded Divine Devil. Since he doesn’t have a soul, he’ll die permanently. Naturally, he can’t reincarnate.”

The Ghost King stared at Gu Qngchen with wide eyes. “Are you kidding? Our ghost clan and the demon clan each mind their own business without interfering in each other’s matters. Yet you want me to break the rules set by the demon clan’s ancestors, oppose the Dao of Heaven, and give a Divine Devil the chance to reincarnate? Gu Qingchen, just what kind of grudge do you have against me? Are you trying to screw me over?”

“I know you have a way.” Gu Qingchen ignored the question. “You once said that if the Reincarnation Pill is combined with your strength, even a Divine Devil can condense a soul and get the opportunity to reincarnate. I remember what you said before clearly.”

The Ghost King turned a little red. “You… You still remember that? That was already a long time ago. I almost forgot.”

“But I won’t forget.”

Smoke was about to come out of the Ghost King’s head, so he hid in the clouds and had the skeleton talk with Gu Qingchen in his place.

Yan Tianhen: “….”

Why does he think the Ghost King is inexplicably cute?

His brain must be broken.

After a while, the Ghost King finally said, “Okay, since you said this, I’ll agree. After all, even though we’re not familiar with each other, we did meet each other many times. When you become this King’s ghost envoy, won’t I be able to do whatever I want? Hahaha!”

Gu Qingchen chuckled.

The deal was done.

Yan Tianhen said, “I always thought that I reincarnated and gained my soul only because of the Reincarnation Pill. Unexpectedly, it was Dao Zu who did so much for me.”

“To use half of his soul in exchange for a person.” Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help sighing, “Dao Zu really did his best for his disciples.”

“But I still complained about him for so long.” Yan Tianhen felt guilty and uneasy.

The Ghost King agreed to Gu Qingchen’s request and took away one soul and one spirit in advance, but Cangdi Fenglang didn’t wake up directly.

The Ghost King said, “His soul is still floating. Some have gone to the void and some have gone to other worlds. Anyhow, this won’t be resolved anytime soon. Why don’t you hide him in a safe place first? When this King finds his soul and gathers them together, I’ll stuff it back inside him. How about it?”

Gu Qingchen nodded. “I trust you.”

The Ghost King said proudly, “Of course. Monks don’t lie.”

Gu Qingchen: “…”

Yan Tianhen: “….”

Lin Xuanzhi sighed, “I suddenly feel that the Ghost King is not so reliable.”

Yan Tianhen was also apprehensive. “Yeah.”

The Ghost King looked at Gu Qingchen. “Gu Qingchen, you won’t be able to live for long. Even if I don’t pull out your soul, you still don’t have many years left. Do you know ah?”

Gu Qingchen got up while carrying Cangdi Fenglang. “I know. That’s why I’m going to make arrangements for the future.”

The Ghost King said, “Although I really want to help you, this is your tribulation. If I help you, there will be a greater karmic consequence in the future. I can’t intervene in this matter.”

Gu Qingchen looked back at the Ghost King and smiled. “Thank you.”

The Ghost King sighed. “This Nine Lands tastes disgusting. It’s full of gloomy evil Qi. I’m about to throw up from the smell. Looks like the Nine Lands will be destroyed soon.”

Gu Qingchen nodded. “Yeah, my younger brother became an evil Qi cultivator, but I’ve already given him injuries. He has no chance to make a comeback for the time being.”

The Ghost King shook his head. “Wrong.”

Gu Qingchen was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”

“Your younger brother is not the only evil Qi cultivator on this continent ah. Where I can see, there are at least a hundred evil Qi cultivators. Gu Qingchen, just how much has your cultivation fallen? Why would you make life this difficult for yourself? It’s nothing more than a small world.”

Gu Qingchen pursed his lips. “There are still that many?”

“Why don’t I teach you a way?” The Ghost King said, “You can use the array to lure out all the sparrow spirits in this world at the same time, and then let the spiritual Qi in the sparrow spirits directly fight against the evil Qi.”

“That much spiritual Qi can certainly destroy all the evil Qi, but you have to understand that if you do so, according to the current situation of the world, the collision will be uncontrollable. If there is too much spiritual Qi, there will be an explosion. At that time, the whole Nine Lands will be destroyed.”

Gu Qingchen asked, “Then in your opinion, when is the most appropriate time to use this move?”

The Ghost King thought about it. “At least ten thousand years later. This is the last resort. In any case, many other worlds resolved their evil Qi crisis this way. However, they all exploded and were destroyed.”

Gu Qingchen said, “Thank you for telling me.”

The Ghost King blinked, “Gu Qingchen, don’t tell me you intend to turn yourself into an evil Qi cultivator and then fight with those evil Qi cultivators?”

Only evil Qi cultivators could destroy other evil Qi cultivators. The Nine Lands weren’t the only ones with a headache because of this. Even the Boundless World loathed the existence of evil Qi cultivators and felt a headache due to them.

Gu Qingchen answered, “Yeah. If I don’t do this kind of thing, then who will?”

The Ghost King suddenly smiled a little evilly. “Who are you going to do? Your current body can’t do anyone. You can only lie down and wait for death.”

Gu Qingchen: “…”

He said indifferently, “Then I’ll just die. I’ve lived for so many years that I’m bored of this world.”

The Ghost King said, “I’ll add another condition to the deal you made with me earlier, which is related to that disciple of yours.”

Gu Qingchen: “What is it?”
