Chapter 1158: Chapter 311: Slaying the Second Priest
Yun Sheng was equally surprised. She had been worried about where the Gold Coin went after stopping the Arrow-tailed War Rhinoceros, but unexpectedly, it was right outside the Transmission Array.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that the Gold Coin was with Shen Jizi, and it winked at her discreetly.
What’s going on here? Yun Sheng was puzzled, but her tacit understanding with Ye Huli made her realize that Ye Huli must have made arrangents.
She remained calm, even though her teeth itched with hatred at the sight of Shen Jizi. This old man had almost gotten her killed.
However, she was rely swindled out of a hundred King-level Soul Stones by Shen Jizi. Compared to the Netherworld Ghost King, who had been swindled for over twenty years, that grudge was much deeper.
Hehe, Yun Sheng would never exert more effort than necessary when she could solve things with soone else’s fists.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Shen Jizi, a murderous look appeared on the handso face of the Netherworld Ghost King.
"Shen Jizi, you old thief, you fooled
so thoroughly," the Netherworld Ghost King roared in anger, his ghost-claw-like form with claws like a flash of black lightning already closing in on Shen Jizi’s lifeline.
Shen Jizi, realizing the situation was wrong, was already on alert. Seeing the Ghost King’s killing move approaching, Shen Jizi abruptly raised the Heart Difficulty Lamp, pressing it down with one hand while staying vigilant with the other.
"Ghost King, Li Qingcheng’s residual soul is inside this lamp. If you dare to step forward, I’ll shatter the Heart Difficulty Lamp, and then not even gods can save her soul," Shen Jizi said cunningly, having already placed Li Qingcheng’s residual soul into the Heart Difficulty Lamp beforehand.
Over the years, the reason the Empress’s residual soul could be preserved without dissipating completely was due to the light of the Heart Difficulty Lamp.
The Heart Difficulty Lamp, despite having mysterious Divine Power, looks like a fragile palace lamp. Just a bit of force from Shen Jizi could shatter it, which is why he’s been holding onto this lifeline so tightly.
Previously, he used the Netherworld Ghost King’s desperation to save Li Qingcheng to mislead him, claiming the Demon Suppression Array could gather the Divine Soul.
The Netherworld Ghost King, eager to save her, hadn’t investigated whether this could really work. For over twenty years, he captured nearly ten thousand souls of powerful beings and Demon Beasts, forming a small Demon Suppression Array.
Shen Jizi calculated that today the Demon Suppression Array would be completed and lured Yun Sheng and other strong individuals inside, believing everything had been flawlessly arranged and the Demon Suppression Array would succeed.
Who would have thought, halfway through, Yun Sheng would intervene, ruining years of planning by him and the Beast God Altar.
Thinking of this, Shen Jizi, the Second Priest of the Beast God Altar, ground his teeth in frustration.
"Shen Jizi, who exactly are you? Why do you seek to harm
repeatedly?" the Netherworld Ghost King shouted angrily. He regretted trusting this old thief and should not have given him the Heart Difficulty Lamp.
"Ghost King, you’ve got it wrong. I bear no grudges against you. What I aim to do is to destroy the Human World, to be precise, the Wuji Continent within it. I am Shen Jizi, the Second Priest of the Beast God Altar from the Bahuang Continent, acting on the orders of the First Priest to sabotage the Human Clan’s Barrier and incite chaos. Seeing my task nearly complete, how could I allow it to fail now? Ghost King, if you wish to save the one you love, imdiately kill that female Mage by your side to activate the Demon Suppression Array," Shen Jizi laughed sinisterly, pressing heavily on the Heart Difficulty Lamp with his skinny hand.
The Netherworld Ghost King frowned, hesitating to make a move.
"What? Does the Ghost King not want to save Li Qingcheng?" Shen Jizi exerted more force. The energy entered the Heart Difficulty Lamp, which imdiately emitted a painful sound; the voice, as lodious as an oriole, belonged to the Empress.
Hearing this, the Ghost King felt a stabbing pain in his heart. With a grunt, he struck towards Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng had been prepared. The first inheritance of the Heavenly Fox had already been activated.
Her long, pitch-black hair grew rapidly like wild grass, forming a black curtain wall to block the Ghost King’s palm wind.
anwhile, the Demon Beasts, including the Night Charm Queen, stepped forward to assist.
Despite the Netherworld Ghost King’s strength, he was outnumbered and found himself entangled in battle with Yun Sheng and others.
Watching from the side, Shen Jizi first felt triumph, but as he watched further, his expression turned increasingly odd.
This woman, if he wasn’t mistaken, was using the Sky Fox Inheritance.
Is she a descendant of the Sky Fox Clan as well?
Moreover, her strength seems far superior to that of the Holy Daughter of the Sky Fox Clan.
Not only that, she is also a Summoner, with a formidable array of Demon Beasts. When did the Human Clan begin to produce so many formidable descendants of the Eight Desolates?
No, this matter must be reported to the First Priest.
Should this woman be killed or not?
Leaving her behind might just serve to counter the Sky Fox Clan.
Shen Jizi was contemplating, when suddenly he felt a sharp pulse, and Yun Sheng and the Ghost King, who had been fiercely fighting, suddenly charged at him together.
"Well, Ghost King, you leave
no choice," Shen Jizi exclaid in shock, raising the Heart Difficulty Lamp high.
Suddenly, an excruciating pain shot through his back, and a golden sharp light pierced into Shen Jizi’s chest.
The sound of bones fracturing and organs bursting was unimaginable to Shen Jizi. As he looked down, he saw his chest was clutched by a beast claw, pulsating with terrifying power.
The beast claw exerted a sudden force, and the Second Priest Shen Jizi’s body tore apart like paper.
Then, the Heart Difficulty Lamp fell safely into Gold Coin’s claw.
"You..." Shen Jizi breathed his last, never understanding why Gold Coin suddenly turned on him.
"Hand over the Heart Difficulty Lamp," the Ghost King demanded, fearing for Li Qingcheng’s safety if the Heart Difficulty Lamp ended up with a golden Demon Beast.
"Ghost King, calm down. Gold Coin won’t harm the Empress. He’s her son," Yun Sheng’s words made the Ghost King hesitate.
Qingcheng’s son?
A golden Demon Beast?
What kind of twist is this?
Fortunately, the Ghost King had so knowledge of the Empress’s background. Knowing she had a son before she died, he reluctantly resented and retracted his killing intent.
"Give the Heart Difficulty Lamp to ," the Ghost King demanded impatiently, recalling that Gold Coin was Qingcheng’s and that scoundrel’s child.
Gold Coin remained still, staring fiercely at the Netherworld Ghost King. This so-called overlord of the Netherworld was the culprit who had imprisoned his mother for so many years.
The Ghost King Hall was his construction as well.
The two, man and beast, glared at each other, golden eyes eting purple ones, tension crackling between them.
Seeing this, Yun Sheng stepped forward, taking the Heart Difficulty Lamp from Ye Beiming’s hand and soothingly stroking its spine a few tis.
