Chapter 302: Maid (1/2)
Jin Heyi had previously set up a Great Formation of Corpse Refinement and refined a dao immortal into a zombie, yet he still said he couldn’t afford to provoke the six princes. It wasn’t that he couldn’t defeat them, they simply came from much more impressive backgrounds, making it unwise to offend them.
Jiangchen Wushang’s skeletal fortress ship was a heaven-defying treasure, half vessel and half zombie, and capable of withstanding even shots from a weapon of war. However, it’d been crushed by the Deaf Prince’s crystal mountain on Levitating Island.
The crystal mountain was but one of the treasures the Deaf Prince possessed; the East Sea court wasn’t going to let the apple of their eye head out from home without a plethora of powerful treasures to protect himself with. What the court gave him, he could naturally activate. Even Jin Heyi couldn’t afford to make the Deaf Prince his enemy, let alone an immortal ghost.
Golden light radiated from the Deaf Prince’s body, scattering all of the dark yin energy in the water. The floating corpses disappeared, leaving behind only the immortal ghost clinging to the Deaf Prince.
It shrieked with pain, looking around in terror as it struggled to get off the prince. However, there was something unusual about the golden light. It seemed to be a ghost’s natural bane, and this particular ghost was nowhere near as powerful as Yueshen. No matter how the immortal ghost struggled, it couldn’t break free, and it gradually faded out of existence.
Yueshen was Yueshen Jixiang, one of the twenty-four divine kings, reborn out of the Ninefilia Specter Fostering method. She was so powerful that if she wanted to hide herself, only Lu Yun would be able to see her. In contrast, this immortal ghost was visible to everyone, including Qing Han, Lu Yun, and the little fox.
“That’s for your attitude, you little piece of shit!” sneered the Deaf Prince. The golden light around him thickened as the faint shadow of golden armor manifested on him. Its luminescence caused the immortal ghost to grow fainter, until it was on the verge of dissipating.
“Wait, Your Highness!” Lu Yun transmitted.
“Oh?” The Deaf Prince turned to Lu Yun, the golden light emitted from his armor dimming. “Do you want the little ghost, senior brother Lu?”
“The real tomb is very dangerous. Since the immortal ghost was born here, it’s the perfect guide.” With a wave of his hand and a black twinkle of hellfire, Lu Yun called the ghost from the Deaf Prince.
The yin energy in the water had been scattered and the independent ecosystem broken. Sensing Lu Yun’s terrifying power, the immortal ghost looked at him with pain and resignation.
Here, yin and yang were in disarray, and heaven and earth were reversed. Even Lu Yun couldn’t make the right call himself. The immortal ghost, however, proved to him that they’d entered the real tomb. This was a water tomb!
The Deaf Prince’s armor had cleared the area within half a kilometer, but outside, it was still pitch black. Strange shadows hinted at unknown terrors. The corpses floating about had formed a natural corpse formation to defend the tomb owner.
“Who were you, and where is the tomb owner?” Lu Yun turned to the immortal ghost and channeled some of hell’s energy, his eyes blazing with black flames.
Unlike Yueshen, who’d been made into an immortal ghost and had her memory erased, this woman had become an immortal ghost through natural processes, so her memories were still intact.
