Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Zhao Ye’s LifeIn the Ghost House, apart from the soaring yin and ghost qi, there was actually a strong presence of living human breath! This was strange, wasn’t it said that since the Ghost House became known as a malevolent place, few people dared to approach it? How could there still be living people here? Sniffing the strong scent of living human breath, Shi Yaoguang thought of a possibility and suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, a scream echoed through the sky. "Help——" After a shrill scream, the yin qi surged into the sky from the southwest. Shi Yaoguang hurried towards that direction. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh——" Several talismans flew out, automatically igniting into flames upon coming into contact with the dense yin qi. As the flames died down, a man with weakened legs sat on the ground, revealing his form. He was a young man in his early twenties with deep sea blue dyed short hair, fringe hanging over his eyebrows, looking like an uninhibited young master. Of course... that would only be true if he didn’t look so bedraggled. Gulping for breath after the close call, the young man found a moment to lift his gaze towards her, revealing an expression of surprise. "Who, who are you?" There was a hint of wariness in his eyes, as though he feared he had jumped out of the tiger’s den only to enter a wolf’s lair. Shi Yaoguang stated her name and explained why she was there, "I came looking for Chairman An of the Celestial Master Association, who might you be?" "Looking for Chairman An? Could it be that you’re also a Heavenly Master?" The young man’s eyes lit up with hope, Shi Yaoguang’s talismans had seemed very powerful. If she were also a Heavenly Master, maybe he could still make it out alive. Knowing what he was thinking, Shi Yaoguang didn’t deny it. The young man immediately grinned, revealing a big smile: "Heavenly Master Shi, then I’ll just call you that." Shi Yaoguang gave a slight nod. The young man brushed the fringe from his forehead and said with a naive laugh, "My name is Zhao Jinlin. I came in here with Chairman An but got separated from her after entering..." He shared all of the dangers he encountered with Shi Yaoguang, "...And then you came, Heavenly Master Shi. You don’t think I’ll die here, do you?" Shi Yaoguang looked at him thoughtfully and asked hesitantly, "You’re not a practitioner of the mystic arts, so why did you accompany Chairman An to the Ghost House?" "That’s a long story. This Ghost House is actually an ancestral property passed down in my family, originally it was even a prince’s mansion." Zhao Jinlin scratched his head, "It’s just that it fell into decay, which is quite regrettable." "This is your ancestral home?" "You could say that," Zhao Jinlin added, "Although it’s the ancestral home, ever since I can remember, our family has been living outside of it. I came here because something went wrong with my company recently, and I thought maybe I could sell this place." He sighed as he spoke, "Had I known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have entertained such a crooked idea." After having the thought to sell the ancestral home, he started asking around, thinking of getting a Heavenly Master to perform a ritual to eradicate the messy things in there so he could sell the house. He sought out people and An Xiaoya happened to be coming down the mountain for training, their mutual needs resulting in a deal. Little did he know that after An Xiaoya entered the ancestral home, she nearly died when she emerged. It was he who took the barely alive An Xiaoya to the Metaphysics Organization. The more Zhao Jinlin thought about it, the more he blamed himself, "It’s all my fault, if it weren’t for me, things wouldn’t have turned out this way." Shi Yaoguang glanced at him and said indifferently, "Now is not the time for self-reproach, let’s find Chairman An first." Zhao Jinlin nodded and said to Shi Yaoguang, "Heavenly Master Shi, then... what do we do now? I got separated from Chairman An as soon as I came in, the house is so big, how can we find her?" Shi Yaoguang moved her lips, about to speak, but suddenly a gust of cold wind swept in. At the critical moment, she threw out a talisman, and as it touched the cold wind, an explosion sounded. "Bang——" Zhao Jinlin, protected behind Shi Yaoguang, was not affected. "Hee hee~" After the cold wind passed, a chill permeated the surroundings. A strange laugh, like 3D surround sound, echoed around the two of them. Zhao Jinlin, hearing this bizarre noise, felt his legs grow weak. "Shi, Shi Heavenly Master..." Shi Yaoguang applied an Invisibility Talisman on him, which could conceal his aura, "Go find a corner to squat in by yourself." Zhao Jinlin didn’t dare to say much and slowly found a place to squat down. As he hid, Shi Yaoguang was taken into the Illusion Realm by a beam of white light. In the blink of an eye, Shi Yaoguang appeared in a study filled wall-to-wall with scrolls and books. Inside the study, a man dressed in a prince’s attire was in confidential talks with seven or eight aides. Their conversation was truly treasonous. "Why should he be the crown prince by birth, while I can only be his vassal, though we share the same mother? One day, I will replace him and stand at the very top!" "Gong Prince? Heh, what an honorific title!" "..." "My lord, we have already made preparations and can... stage a coup at any time!" "Very good! We’ll take action tonight during the hour of the rat..." "..." "Damn it, the Emperor actually left such a power behind for him. No wonder, no wonder... I will not give up easily. As long as my soul doesn’t perish, there will always be a day when I reach the peak!" In her soul form, Shi Yaoguang watched the ’Gong Prince’ Zhao Ye’s journey of transformation from prince to lord to prince again, and witnessed the scene of his rebellion failing and him committing suicide in the study. After Gong Prince led a failed coup, the Emperor didn’t execute his family. Even because he "realized his mistake" and committed suicide, the Emperor showed a lot of favor to his descendants, which is why the title of the rebellious Gong Prince could be passed down. However, the truth wasn’t as the Emperor believed. The reason Gong Prince Zhao Ye committed suicide in his residence wasn’t because he realized his mistake, but because he met a somewhat capable Magician who taught him a Secret Technique. This technique could ensure his soul was undying and, if necessary, he could resurrect in a descendant carrying the Zhao Family’s blood. Zhao Ye’s intent at the time was to resurrect in the body of a descendant and seize the throne. However, due to a slip-up by the Magician, he didn’t awaken at the proper time, the imperial ruling society was overthrown, and he still didn’t come back to life... In other words, his dream of becoming Emperor was completely shattered. Discontented, he lay dormant, killed many people, and became a powerful Ghost King. After becoming the Ghost King, he still aimed to rule the world, and the first step to ruling the world was... filling his harem. He captured many young women and brought them back, which is why Shi Yaoguang felt so many signs of life in the Ghost House. After witnessing Zhao Ye’s life in the Illusion Realm, a dark shadow appeared in front of Shi Yaoguang.
