Xia Kingdom

  This was the Kingdom that materialized many things in the Eldritch World. It gathered the Luck of humans. It was facing its impending danger now.

  It was a nice morning.

  A court lady was waking up Zhou Yunwu from his bedroom as usual. However, she waited for a long while without him getting up to get changed.

  Seeing that it was getting late, the court lady could only pass this on to Meng Junliang.

  In the main hall, when many ministers heard about this, they did not blame him. In fact, they smiled understandingly.

  “Lord’s finally sleeping in.”


  “He’s been working hard for so long. He relies on medications to keep up his health, this shouldn’t be the way.”


  “Sigh, the world’s changing, Lord must be under pressure.”


  “Let him sleep more. We’ll wait for him here.”


  The atmosphere inside the palace was peaceful and relaxed.

  And yet, as time passed, this peacefulness started to turn into doubt and heaviness.

  This did not make sense.

  The crowd did not waste any time and rushed into his bedroom. They made a quick decision and called for a doctor.

  They realized that their Lord did not wake up. And yet, his body showed no changes. He was very peaceful. His breathing was normal, he had no wounds. It just looked as if he was sleeping.

  The doctor was clueless, even the cultivators could do nothing.

  Luckily, he was in a stable state, so the crowd had time to think.

  However, this became worse.

  The second person who could not wake up was Meng Junliang. The third was Huo Da the General, the fourth, the fifth……

  All the key figures fell asleep. The originally prosperous formation of the kingdom body instantly lost control. They were at a dead-end.

  Everyone felt heavy. They could feel that this was not going well. With a small mistake, the kingdom might collapse!

  Dong……

  Inside the palace, nonchalant music was heard. The music went from gentle to a peak, as if a mother was calling. It was coming from further away to closeby, very awakening.

  Inside the room, with Zhou Yunwu leading, there was a row of fainted ministers. They were peacefully baptized by the sound of music.

  The music was played by the Linxian Palace’s disciples. Yao Mengji and Qin Manyun were taking the lead. They all looked heavy.

  They were trying to wake the crowd up with the sound of music.

  They had run out of ways. This matter was too strange, they even thought of waking them up by force.

  Among the fainted ministers, some had been used as specimens. Their heads were beaten up like pigs and yet they were still sleeping.

  Crack!

  Suddenly, a sharp sound was heard. Everyone’s strings broke with a loud sound and they spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Their Qi was weakening and becoming unstable.

  Qin Manyun had a look of fear in her eyes. She said weakly, “A powerful ritual. This group of men must’ve been trapped in the same dream!”


  “Hah! How ignorant! A bunch of nobodies trying to ruin my dream? I didn’t even bother fighting you, if not……you would’ve all died!”


  From a nameless mountain’s peak, a Resentful Ghost in black robes gradually landed. Although he was standing there, he looked as if he was formless. He looked unreal.

  He looked down at the dell with a satisfactory smile. “This place is beautiful, the Qi is full of good spirits. This is a good hiding place. I’ll choose this place to enter my dreams.”


  With that said and a flash, he appeared within the dell.

  Now was the key time to enter the dream. To prevent any accident, he chose to hide. He did not want his core body to be discovered, so nobody could pull him out of the dream!

  Not even a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!

  Ha-ha-ha!

  Suddenly, his eyes jolted and he scoffed, “Hmm? Who’s here? Get out!”


  “Immortal, don’t get excited, we’re harmless!”


  Demon King led the worn-out army of demons, slowly walking out of the dell. Their faces were bitter and twisted.

  They followed the Lord Demon, and the Lord Demon mysteriously died. Then, the God Demon finally came back, but he woke up for less than two days and was gone.

  Now that the world was changing with everything moving, King Demon felt the world was scary. He did not want to think of anything. Staying alive was already a blessing.

  And yet…… Damn!

  He was ready to start hiding and found a suitable dell. They moved in for a few days and this stranger suddenly showed up?

  Were they under attack?

  No, it should not be!

  The Resentful Ghost said with an evil tone, “Demons? What are you all doing here?”


  “Immortal, to be honest with you, we were quite powerful but somehow we kept going downhill. We don’t have a place in this world anymore, so we simply found a place to start hiding away from the scary world outside.”


  Demon King said sincerely with tears in his eyes, “Since you like this dell, we’ll leave. We’re harmless.”


  “You’re scared, just like that?” The Resentful Ghost smiled. “You’re all too weak!”


  Demon King smiled, “Immortal, we’re not weak, this world’s too dangerous!”


  “Ha-ha, dangerous? You can hide from the danger? I tell you what, bootlicking the right person’s the best way to hide!” The Resentful Ghost said proudly, “Whatever, since we’re on a similar path, I’ll lead you! You all follow me from now on, you won’t be scared anymore.”


  Demon King was clever. He knew there was no other choice. He bowed and said, “Demon King greets our Lord.”


  “Ha-ha-ha, wise choice, with you joining us, we’ll achieve great things!” the Resentful Ghost curled his lips and said. “My name’s Yan Zu, I’m an assistant of the Ghastly Ghost King. The Ghastly Ghost King’s ready to reach the Realm Cultivator. Becoming the Emperor of this world’s just a small matter.”


  Demon King was shocked and excited.

  Was this the turning point of his life?

  As expected, a demon with potential like himself was valuable wherever he went!

  “Alright, you’ll all guard this dell. Don’t let anyone disturb me unless it’s super urgent!”


  Demon King said and patted his chest, “Don’t worry, I guarantee that even a fly won’t get in!”


  “Good!”


  Yan Zu nodded and said, “Following this, what I’m about to do will turn this Area of Gods upside down! Just open your eyes and watch! Ha-ha-ha……”


  On the road.

  Li Nianfan and the group rushed toward the Xia Kingdom. On the way there, there were many resentful spirits but they were easily sorted out. These strange incidents were new to Li Nianfan.

  Qin Chuyue looked at Li Nianfan blankly. She said with an embarrassed tone, “Mr. Li, do you still have the lollipop? I want some.”


  Li Nianfan said, “Yes, have more. Do eat fewer lollipops, control yourself.”


  Qin Chuyue nodded. “Yeah, I’ll try not to bite, just lick.”


  She received Li Nianfan’s lollipop and treated it like a treasure.

  Since that night, she realized she had some strange memories in her head from time to time. These memories were either forgotten by her or fake. However, she could feel that these memories were very important to her.

  Furthermore, as her memories appeared, her cultivation grew in a very terrifyingly shocking way. When she woke up, she did not have to cultivate and already went from Yuan Ying realm to Out of Aperture!

  “Mr. Li’s lollipop……”


  She looked at the lollipop in hand. She had too many thoughts. Too many questions and doubts. However, she kept them all to herself. “How magical.”


  “Waa……”


  As the four of them were walking, a wailing was heard coming from the front. The sound went from far away to close by as if countless people were crying like zombies. They were all anxious.

  A gust of eerie wind blew by. Suddenly, a group of people appeared at the flat land ahead.

  They were all dressed in white robes, their faces pale like papers. The person in front lifted a white flag that flew in the wind. It was during the day but there was a chill. The group did not feel safe, they looked very suspicious.

  On two sides of the army, someone was playing suonas. In the middle was a coffin, moving forward.

  Under the sunlight, the space in front of them seemed twisted and blurry. It looked as if they were traveling very slowly but somehow, they were already right in front of the group.

  Qin Chuyue’s face sank. She took in a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “What a thick Ghost Qi! The day’s bright and they walk with coffins. We shouldn’t attack them!”


  Meanwhile, a flash of light suddenly shone down from the sky. A sacred golden circle lit up. “How ignorant of you, Resentful Ghosts! You’re nothing and yet you try to threaten people? Take my dragons!”
