Chapter 234: Chapter 233: I’m Going to Beat Up the Mountain The Ghost King’s wedding drew a celebration with hundreds of ghosts, the ghost energy surged to the heavens, alarming numerous Xuanmen Taoists nearby. They wondered why the ghost energy of Gengdong Mountain had suddenly become so dense. Was someone practicing some Evil Path and summoning souls? Qin Liuxi entered the mountain. What a living person saw was merely a dense and chilling forest, but in her eyes, it was another world entirely, resplendent with lights and colors, the ghost energy soaring to the skies, and the passerby all held generous gifts, brimming with smiles. Before a grand mansion with ornate beams and painted rafters, shadowy ghost figures abounded, with laughter and lively chatter emanating from within, and the scent of alcohol wafting into the air. An old servant dressed as a butler stood at the entrance to receive gifts, while a pale-faced little servant sang celebratory songs beside him. The bustle was no different from a wedding in the human world. Though the realms of yin and yang were distinctly separated, both worlds were similar, differing only by a line. Just like now, if a person with poor luck stumbled in, they wouldn’t think they had encountered a Ghost King’s wedding but rather a grand feast hosted by a wealthy family. Watching this ghostly energy surge to the heavens, Qin Liuxi’s eyes ignited with two small flames, and she said, “If I were to liberate them all, would I earn a lot of merit?” Eastern Ghost King: “!” He glanced at the little ghosts eyeing Qin Liuxi greedily, their lustful gazes like those greedy for minced meat. The Eastern Ghost King glanced at the person beside him protected by the Merit Golden Light, sighed internally and concentrated his ghost energy, soaring high, intimidating all directions. The little ghosts were startled, looking towards the Eastern Ghost King with chilled courage, and someone recognized him, exclaiming, “It’s the Eastern Ghost King!” Wow. The shadowy ghosts immediately retreated from the two, maintaining a distance of a hundred meters. Qin Liuxi patted the Eastern Ghost King with satisfaction: “Even a rebellious son knows to show filial piety to his father now.” The Eastern Ghost King was stifled with annoyance. The butler had already swiftly floated over. Upon seeing the Eastern Ghost King, his expression shifted subtly, “This servant greets the Eastern Ghost King, I had not expected you to grace our great king’s wedding banquet. Truly, my apologies for not greeting you from afar.” Though his words were polite, seeing that the Eastern Ghost King came empty-handed, he seemed more like someone coming to cause trouble rather than to partake in the wedding feast. Could it be? The gaze of the Eastern Ghost King withdrew from the little ghost that dashed to report, revealing a hint of interest, “I’ve heard that Kuang Shan is taking a new bride, and we old beings did not even receive a wedding invitation. Out of curiosity about who caught his eye, we came to join in the fun.” The butler chuckled apologetically: “As kings ruling their respective domains, our great king could not possibly forget about you esteemed ones—an oversight, surely due to the little ghost delivering invitations having lost its way and thus not yet delivered.” “Hehe, now we seem to only rate an invitation delivered by a little ghost. Sigh, is it that mountain spirits and malicious ghosts are cropping up like weeds?” The Eastern Ghost King’s tone was pointed, but then switched gears, “Yet your great king doesn’t seem to mind. Disregarding us old ghost kings is one thing, but he doesn’t respond even to the summons of a greater authority. That’s a bit too proud.” A greater authority? What greater authority? The butler was utterly bewildered. Qin Liuxi stepped forward to reveal her face. A ghost looking on at the liveliness caught sight of Qin Liuxi and froze. This face? He subconsciously dug out a small portrait from the pouch on his waist, compared it to Qin Liuxi’s face, and exclaimed with an aghast shriek, “It’s her, the Little Evil God of the Yin Road and Karmic Fire!” What ghost? Qin Liuxi, with her sharp ears, glanced over, and the ghost, upon meeting her gaze, felt his soul body tremble with vulnerability, unable to drift away. The butler was equally perplexed; servants like him served a great king and wouldn’t know the details of those wandering on the Yin Road, let alone the infamy and fearsome reputation of Qin Liuxi. The Eastern Ghost King had no intention of clarifying either; he was waiting to see how things would unfold. “Sir, let’s go in. Such a little ghost is not worth another glance from you.” Qin Liuxi walked forward. When Kuang Shan received the news, his eyebrows furrowed. The Eastern Ghost King had arrived with his entourage; was he here not to give his blessings but to cause trouble? Sure enough, the Ghost King’s evil spirit soared to the sky, and the Ghost Guests sitting at the banquet hall all turned pale. Kuang Shan’s face looked rather unpleasant. The Eastern Ghost King made no attempt to conceal his evil spirit, clearly here to disrupt the proceedings. He looked at the Eastern Ghost King, wearing a black cloak with his hair hanging loose, and hummed lightly. However, he forced a smile on his face. After all, although he had ascended to the throne, he could not compare to a ‘senior’ like the Eastern Ghost King. “Eastern Ghost King, what a rare guest. What wind has blown you our way?” Kuang Shan walked over with a smile, feigning reproach. “You should have sent someone earlier so that I could have arranged a proper welcome and invited you for a drink.” “How dare I!” said the Eastern Ghost King lightly. “When even Master Buqiu couldn’t summon you, how could I dare to come uninvited?” Kuang Shan said, “I don’t understand what you mean by that, Eastern Ghost King. Who is this master that called me and I did not attend?” “Qin Liuxi.” Qin Liuxi emerged from behind the Eastern Ghost King, sizing up Kuang Shan. He was tall and burly, with extremely dark skin, a square face, and a broad, full forehead with a prominent bridge on his nose—regretfully, his eyes were slightly small, otherwise his features would be outstanding, indicative of a man born to undertake great endeavors. “What, what?” Kuang Shan looked at Qin Liuxi, enveloped in a soft golden light, and swallowed hard. What is this supreme nourishing treasure? With such dense merit, wouldn’t one’s cultivation soar if it were devoured? Kuang Shan’s ghostly eyes turned a ferocious red as he licked his lips. “I am Qin Liuxi,” Qin Liuxi stated. “And you are Kuang Shan?” Kuang Shan’s eyebrows furrowed. The name Qin Liuxi sounded familiar. The Eastern Ghost King chimed in, “That’s right. This is Master Buqiu from Li City Qingping Temple, also known as Qin Liuxi. Why did you not come when called upon by the Master?” Li City Qingping Temple, Qin Liuxi. Kuang Shan suddenly realized that this individual was the same one who had summoned him earlier, and now he had personally sought him out, accompanied by the Eastern Ghost King? He was about to speak when out of the corner of his eye, he noticed people watching this scene, including several generals left by his predecessors, and even his own Ghost Bride was looking over. He stood up straight, imitating the style of the Eastern Ghost King, and said in a haughty tone: “It’s a day of great joy for me today; how could I simply leave? Besides, why should I heed anyone’s summoning?” The moment he uttered these words, he caught a glimpse of the Eastern Ghost King’s eyes shining with schadenfreude, and a twinge of unease hit his heart. Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow and said: “You are the new Northern Ghost King and do not know me, so I’ll let it slide this time. Since we are meeting for the first time, let us get reacquainted. I am from Ningzhou Licheng Qingping Temple, my Daoist name is Buqiu. I am here to inquire about the whereabouts of the former Northern Ghost King, Zhou Le.” Upon hearing the name Zhou Le, Kuang Shan tightened slightly and said: “Zhou Le is long dead. Now, I, Kuang Shan, am the Northern Ghost King. Make sure you recognize that from now on.” He spoke loudly, both for Qin Liuxi and for all the ghosts to hear, the intention being to intimidate. “How do you know he’s dead? Did you witness it yourself?” Qin Liuxi asked amiably. Kuang Shan was getting impatient and said: “‘Ey, you little Daoist, what’s with all the questions? How would I rise to this position if he weren’t dead? Alright, since you were brought here by the Eastern Ghost King, sit to the side, have some celebratory drinks, and then leave. I still have many guests to attend to and must take my leave.” He really is a naive fool who knows nothing of the world! The Eastern Ghost King shook his head and sighed lightly. Qin Liuxi reached out and grabbed Kuang Shan: “Did I say you could leave?” First, extend the courtesy, then use force—courtesy came first, and now it was time for force!
