Chapter 239: Chapter 40 I am the Sun! (Daily Subscription Request)

["Indeed, you are the real Ghost King," you said, your body drenched in blood, staring coldly at Mu Chan.]

[Regarding Mu Chan’s identity, you had already had suspicions and had deployed your elite forces. You came today to kill him, but unexpectedly, the devil was always one step higher.]

[Following the final words left by Luoning, you attacked Emperor Qing, the ’Great Grandmaster’, with all your might, planning to defeat him before breaking through the others. However, you didn’t expect that he was merely a distraction, causing you to miss the opportunity.]

[You saw Dongfang Wucan standing next to Mu Chan; they looked exactly the same, as if Dongfang Wucan was a reflection of Mu Chan.]

[The strength of the opponent and the strangeness of their tactics exceeded your imagination, turning all the high-ranking experts from the major sects into yin ghosts, thus tipping the scale of victory in their favor and changing the dynamics of offense and defense.]

[Mu Chan didn’t reply. His gaze shifted to Shangguan Yuanyi beside you, his expression indifferent: "You treacherous whore, I sent you to the mortal realm, and you conspired with humans. Prepare for the wrath of the Ghost Ancestor."]

[Shangguan Yuanyi said, "Mu Chanchan, I will take full responsibility for this. Spare the night watchman, and I will return with you to face punishment."]

["Delusional fool, all of you must die. The thousand-year blood battle should end today, especially that man beside you. I will eat him alive in front of you, bite by bite, and let you listen to his agonizing screams before he dies—it will surely be thrilling, hehehe." Mu Chan National Master looked at you with contempt, as if you were a bird in a cage, a fish in a net, a dish on the plate.]

[Hearing this, the quiet girl in white suddenly cursed loudly: "Mu Chanchan, fuck your mother!"]

["?"] Hearing Shangguan Yuanyi’s curse, you were slightly surprised. From their conversation, it seemed that Shangguan Yuanyi, like Mu Chan, was also a Ghost King split from the Ghost Ancestor.]

[However, the angrier she became, the more Mu Chan National Master seemed to smile.]

[After cursing for a while, Shangguan Yuanyi, with reddening eyes, told you:

["I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you the truth. Actually, I am the current generation’s Ghost King. It was your mother’s great will that influenced me. I have already abandoned my mission as the Ghost King. Additionally, because of your kindness and loyalty to me... Unexpectedly, the former Ghost King Mu Chanchan would come to the human world. Now that things have come this far, I will protect you even at the cost of my own life."]

[You were a bit startled—Mu Chanchan is the former Ghost King, and Xiao Qinai Heixu (Shangguan Yuanyi) is the current Ghost King? Suddenly, you had a stroke of insight; you understood why the riddles and the letters left by your mother had strange, repetitive content.]

[Your mother didn’t write it wrong, nor did she repeat herself. In fact, it was because the sequence of the riddles left behind lacked punctuation; the scroll being divided into three parts naturally led to misreading.]

[The correct sequence was: "Beware, Emperor Qing, the Great Grandmaster Dongfang Wucan. It wasn’t the Ghost King Xiao Qinai Heixu who betrayed me!"]

[Yes, only this makes sense and matches her letters.]

[Emperor Qing was completely deceived by Mu Chan, who controlled all the civil and military officials;

[Dongfang Wucan, the only human Third Rank Grandmaster, turned the daytime Golden Throne Hall into darkness to create the ’geographical advantage’ for yin ghosts; these two, naturally, must be watched.]

[And the matter about Xiao Qinai Heixu not betraying matches up with your mother’s suspicions in her testament that she was wrong, and of course, needed clarification.]

[No wonder she was tightly wrapped and shivering under the cloak all the way. It turns out she is also a Ghost King, afraid of sunlight.]

[At this point, the truth was finally revealed. Your mother was indeed a genius; unfortunately, human power is limited. Although she knew everything, she was still killed.]

[However, more talk is useless; all irreconcilable conflicts in this world ultimately need to be resolved by force!]

[Shangguan Yuanyi and Mu Chanchan fought one-on-one, a battle between the former and current Ghost Kings, which was so brutal that limbs flew around, a sight too gruesome to behold.]

[And your battle with the yin ghosts also escalated, with the strongest of the yin ghosts, Eighteen Ghost Moons (missing two), joining in. Though you fought desperately, more night watchmen died.]

[Some were directly attacked and killed, others died alongside their opponents, bringing the brutality of the battle to its peak.]

["Lord, I’ve done my best~" To protect you, Wenren Xiongzhao came up with an even more advanced sealing technique—Star of Death!]",

[He and a blue, ice-element yin ghost, whose eyes bore the upper-quarter three, perished together, and the explosion created an ice-and-fire dichotomy.]

[Accompanying the first strategic casualty of this battle, you were completely incited. Under the amplification of the sealing technique ’Blazing Oil’, your blade swung faster and faster, killing more and more yin ghosts.]

[You seemed close to breaking through a special realm, but of course, you didn’t truly break through. In this world, only the Ghost King can reach the Third Rank; humans cannot surpass it. You were merely burning your life away furiously.]

[This is you! Zuo Chang’an, whom the Divine Blade Sect ranks as a true Second-tier peak! With almost just your strength alone, you nearly turned the tide.]

[But besides Ghost King Mu Chanchan, there was also a true Third-tier Grandmaster, the ghost-like Dongfang Wucan.]

[During your battle, he suddenly attacked you. When you turned around, you saw an immensely magnified black Mystic Needle!]

[Your mother Luoning died by this very hand, and now it was your turn.]

[Images of your life flashed before your eyes, starting from the great battle in the Forbidden City at your birth, and now dying in the Forbidden City as well—predestined...]
