The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 137: The Ghost Eater King (4k words, monthly ticket requested)

[“My life has been like walking on thin ice. I have only two goals in mind: one is to enlighten the people and set the world ablaze; the other is to destroy the evil spirits and get rid of this great threat to the human race. Each of these two things is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.]

[“Zuo Bojun said that he had secretly passed on a message to me, saying that he knew the inside story of the Moon Worship Sect, ‘leave the sun and keep the moon, leave the yang and keep the yin’. He has been living a life of debauchery, and it is inexplicable that he has received this news. It must be a trick.”]

[“I founded the Sun Moon Divine Sect and poured a lot of my efforts into it. Now something has happened to the Sun Moon Divine Sect. This is a conspiracy by the other party. I have to go and take a look. This trip is dangerous. By the time you see this letter, I will be dead. The only thing I am worried about is you.”]

[“Your martial arts have improved and you have a promising future. I am very pleased. If anything happens to me, the night watchmen will definitely accept you as their new master. You are free to choose whether to accept or not. If you do not accept, you can give the position to Yuanyi.]

[If you accept, I hope you can lead them well. You will definitely encounter many hardships in the future. There are two things I want to tell you. ”]

[“First, the Moon Worship Sect’s Dongfang Muzan should not be the current Ghost King. The Ghost King is someone else.”]

[“Second, someone reported that she might betray me. I’m not sure.”]

[“I can’t help you anymore. Be careful, son. Mom loves you.”]

…………

"Hiss... strange."

When Xu Shu saw the two notes left by Luo Ning, he felt that there was something weird.

Since he had already left a letter, stating that Dongfang Muzan was not the Ghost King, he suspected that Shinozaki Nakusu had betrayed him.

Then, why do we need to repeat the three crucial clues left in the body before death?
There is no need to write three, two, no, just one will be enough.

Leave some space to write other things. I'm so confused now.

but……

Judging from the current situation, Xu Shu can already judge that the death of his mother Luo Ning must have involved the involvement of powerful ghosts, such as the nine upper-rank ghosts.

Otherwise, it is impossible that the two night watchmen would have died in the battle. In any case, this vengeance must be blamed on the Ghost King.

Well, Dongfang Muzan is not the King of Ghosts. Does that mean his real identity is actually some powerful ghost, for example, an Upper Moon?
Besides, Emperor Qing is actually a Grandmaster? A third-level expert?
Luo Ning wrote it this way. Although she did not directly write that the murderer was xxx, it was almost the same.

It must have been Emperor Qing who took action, and joined forces with Dongfang Wuzan, a powerful general under the Ghost King, to attack her.

"Damn, Emperor Qing, you dare to kill my mother? I won't forgive you."

As the emperor of a country, he colluded with the evil spirits who harmed the people. This boy should be killed!

Xu Shu continued his legend.

[You inferred some information from your mother's few words, and you are determined to kill these bastards in the future to avenge your mother.]

[The enemy is very powerful, you will not act hastily, you will take the long view and plan slowly. ]

[However, because of the 108 Solar Blades you brought, the night watchmen's strength has skyrocketed. ]

[The number of night watchmen who possess the Solar Blade has increased from less than 100 to 200. The night watchmen who possess the "unsealing skill" are the real main force.]

[The night watchmen were originally able to fight the ghosts on equal terms. Although they have lost two world walkers, they have gained more.]

[The enemy's strength has not increased, but your strength as night watchmen has. In terms of the core strength, the advantage lies with you! ]

[You are not careless, you need stronger strength to ensure the final victory. ]

[But you don’t have to worry about the way now. On the one hand, you can continue to try to break through the third level. ]

[Or, you can now have your own 'Sun Blade', which will give you the capital to fight ghosts at night. ]

[And if you want to further acquire the "unsealing skill", you need to go through the night watchman's knife-giving ceremony. ]

[The sword-giving ceremony is to pay tribute to the ancestor of the night watchmen, "Baji Tianshi", and to gain recognition from the ancestor's inheritance, which is the 'unsealing skill'. ]

【You choose...you want them all! 】

[You bathed for several days, and after you were ready, you began the sword-giving ceremony. But before the ceremony began, the young and beautiful woman with white hair and white silk suddenly stopped you.]

[Her name is Shangguan Yuanyi, and her own strength has reached the third level. Among the night watchmen today, she is the strongest in terms of martial arts realm, not counting the "unsealed skills".]

[Shangguan Yuanyi takes you to a secluded place and asks you seriously: "Have you thought it through? Once you accept the sword teaching, your life span will no longer be in your control. Every time you use the unsealing technique, you will be one step closer to death.

"So, I don't recommend you to become a formal night watchman. It doesn't matter if you don't receive a sword. The lord didn't receive a sword, and you see, I didn't receive a sword either.]

[She patted her cute buttocks as she spoke. No, it was behind her waist. Although the Tang sword she was hanging was the Sun Blade, it was obviously a little different from the two swords of Wenren Xiongzhao. It lacked a heritage mark.]

[So, she is not a formal night watchman, but only a substitute. ]

[The leader of the night watchmen can be someone other than an official night watchman, and the strongest night watchman can be someone other than an official night watchman. What's wrong with that? This is very reasonable.]

[“Besides, I actually hope you withdraw from this war. The lord has not told you about the night watchman, and she actually thinks so... The lord has been very kind to me, and you are her only blood. I have the obligation to ensure the continuation of the bloodline, so perhaps you can choose to hide behind the scenes..." Shangguan Yuanyi suggested. ]

[Your choice is...]

[You still insist on accepting the sword training. ]

【“Why?” She doesn’t understand why you insist on taking the risk when you clearly have safer options. 】

[You suddenly stood at attention and saluted. You said that you are the successor of revolutionism and should be the first in the world. There is no reason to retreat.]

[Shangguan Yuanyi was shocked, her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at you. At this moment, she seemed to see the glorious image of your mother in you.]

[The robe and tie on your chest are brighter. ]

[You looked around and thought of something. You asked her if she knew who Shinozaki Nakuroku was. ]

[This person betrayed your mother, so of course you want to catch her first. ]

[Shangguan Yuanyi was stunned when she heard this and asked you why you were asking this.]

[“My mother mentioned to me that she thought this girl would be very attractive to me and would be a good match for me, so she wanted to get to know her better.” You answered.]

[Obviously you don't want to reveal your true purpose now. This excuse allows you to take the traitor away and abuse her however you want.]

[“Ah, she, she said this?” Shangguan Yuanyi’s face suddenly turned red. After looking at you deeply, she picked up the paper beside her with an unnatural expression:

[“Well, I was originally a bandit who fell into trouble in Japan. Before I was redeemed by the lord, my name was Xiaozaki Naheixu… Since the lord has made such an arrangement, if you are willing to marry me, it is not impossible… I will agree to continue the bloodline for the lord.” [Yuanyi told you in a very soft voice while folding a kite.]

"?"

Xu Shu was stunned.

The strongest individual night watchman is a traitor? !
[You feel bad. Your winning rate has dropped significantly, from 70% to 68%. Such a low winning rate is no different from committing suicide, so you decide to keep silent.]

[You looked at Shangguan Yuanyi (Xiaozaki Naheixu) in front of you. You didn't reveal your true feelings. You laughed and said, "That's great. After the war, let's get married today."]

[“Okay, my lord. I’m sorry. It was so sudden and I was a little rude.” She agreed shyly.]

[It's so easy to deceive. I don't know if you are deceiving her or she is playing you. But it doesn't matter. The day when the broken sword is recast is the day when Yuanyi dies.]

[A third-level master who has not received the inheritance is about the same strength as a formal night watchman after the "seal is lifted", and his explosive power should be slightly inferior. This is your confidence.]

[Plus, you will have the ability to hunt ghosts. Once you break through the third level, you will be able to easily control her. She still thinks she is not exposed. This woman has already found a way to die.]

[The sword-giving ceremony is over, and you have obtained your own Solar Blade. ]

[And, you have successfully obtained the inheritance from your ancestors. Your unlocking skill belongs to the fire part of the Eight Extremes, and is called: Fiery Fire Cooking Oil.]

[It seems that this Baji Tianshi really likes to kill ghosts. As long as you are willing to kill ghosts, you can obtain the inheritance and become one of his own.]

[You didn't rush to seek revenge, you started to travel the world like other night watchmen, exorcising demons and slaying man-eating ghosts.]

[You are different from other night watchmen. Others just kill ghosts and that’s it. But you are special. Every time you encounter a strong ghost, you don’t kill it immediately. You eat it.]

[From fish as small as a little girl to turtles as big as an old lady, as long as you are qualified, you are welcome to come. 】

[With the unlocked skill "Cooking Oil with Fiery Fire", you are a natural cook. 】

[And you are very particular, you will let the Guhuo bird help you cook. ]

[Since she no longer needs to use herself as an ingredient, her skills have improved. Of course, she is not afraid of running out of seasonings. Taitai Le Chicken Essence is large in quantity and can fill you up. ]

[You light the fire, she cooks, you two live in harmony, her condition is getting better and better, she can even bask in the sun for one minute every day, she is becoming less and less like a ghost. ]

[And you will find that the more powerful the ghost form, the more it is related to some strange beasts in ancient times, such as flying squirrels, collared beards, elephant snakes, acid and... like the Guhuo bird, which is the best meat. ]

[You travel around the world and eat everywhere. Not only do you eat by yourself, you also invite other night watchmen you meet to eat with you. The prerequisite is that they have to practice an additional internal skill, which is your Zixia magic skill.]

[It seems that only Zixia's magical power can digest the flesh and blood of ghosts. ]

[The lord has given an order, and they dare not disobey. More and more night watchmen begin to join the ghost-eating team. ]

【Before you, ghosts ate people. 】

【From you on, people will eat ghosts. 】

[But why don't you give them the meat with chicken essence? You are so selfish that you keep it to yourself.]

[Some night watchmen thought this was not a good idea, but because ghost meat was delicious, everyone thought about it again and again and joined in one after another. ]

[Without your exclusive chicken essence, the taste is quite different, but they also bring their own seasonings, so it's just barely okay. ]

[Everyone's face was purple and golden after eating, and their mouths were full of oil. ]

[As expected of a descendant of the Great Foodie Empire, you have started a new genre in just a few months since you took office as the leader of the night watchmen - the ghost-eating genre.]

[You have a new slogan: Practice Zixia Gong and eat ghost meat.]

[You met Shangguan Yuanyi several times. You invited her to eat, but she refused with a look of embarrassment.]

[“Humph, you are a traitor indeed!” You sneered in your heart, but you remained calm. ]

[At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, and the Dali Temple reported urgently! Various demons (ghosts) began to appear in large numbers across the country, killing people everywhere. ]

[This is the worst situation that has not happened in a thousand years. All of a sudden, people are suffering. Night watchmen are busy handling cases and hunting down the evil spirits who kill people.]

[Although there is a flood of ghosts like you, the Yin ghosts are still inexhaustible. They seem to appear continuously. Even if they are just the weakest first-level Yin ghosts, they can make a small county town so chaotic that no one dares to go out at night.]

[Also, the ghosts this time seemed different from before. They became very sinister. After killing people, they would run away as soon as they saw the night watchmen coming. They were extremely despicable. The night watchmen were so busy that they were exhausted. ]

[This matter reached the ears of the Emperor. Emperor Qing could not bear the numerous requests from his ministers, so he could only go to court again. The ministers shouted, "God bless the Tang Dynasty, long live the emperor!"]

【Three months after Grand Tutor Luo Ning's death, Emperor Qing returned to the stage for the first time and announced it to the world.】

[The nobles who had been hiding their power regained power, and the people began to be punished for speaking nonsense and not kneeling. The good days of freedom of speech that had lasted for so many years almost ended in an instant.]

[Thinking back to the fear they once controlled, and the evil spirits now wreaking havoc in various places, the whole country is filled with resentment and the people are in a state of turmoil. The situation is even worse than during the cold disaster before the first year of the Qingli period.]

[“Emperor Qing… his true intentions are revealed.” You begin to calm down and continue to slay demons everywhere to improve yourself.]

[During this period, your strength continues to increase, and your liquid internal energy is becoming more and more abundant, overflowing every day. If it weren't for the Guhuo Bird helping you clean it up, you would be very uncomfortable. ]

[But even so, your realm has not yet broken through the third level. ]

[You have begun to suspect that this may be related to your fate. Your current fate is green, and your upper limit is only level 2. You can only break through the limit if you have an adventure beyond your imagination.]

[You are half a step to the peak of the late third stage. Your strength is already very strong. Every move you make has the demeanor of a master.]

[When you strike out with your sword, wind and thunder move. You are at the second level, and you can cut down enemies with your sword. Although you have not completely entered the third level, you have already gained the reputation of a master. You have earned a name in the martial arts world, Zuo Chang'an, the Mighty Sword Sect.]

[“It’s time to end it.”]

[You looked northwest toward Chang'an, and carefully sent out the summoning signals one by one - they were a bunch of dried chrysanthemums and a short poem.

[When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. 】

[The fragrance of incense permeates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with sun armor. ]

[At the end of September, the sword is pointed at Emperor Qing, the imperial city PK, the winner is the king! ]
