Chapter 487: The Emperor’s View and Murder in Jest!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Law Seed: The Emperor’s Sight!]

[Reward has been issued to the system space. The host can check it anytime.]

A dragon-shaped pattern, faintly glowing with a golden flow, emerged from the big wheel, accompanied by the system notification.

“A Law Seed!?”

Lu Changsheng slightly raised his eyebrows, feeling pleased.

He knew well what a Law Seed was.

In his early years, he had drawn a Law Seed called ‘Sword Piercing the Big Dipper’ and gave it to his son Lu Qingshan.

Unexpectedly, he had drawn another one now.

“This is indeed a good thing!”

Lu Changsheng’s thoughts stirred as he looked at the system space.

[Law Seed: Emperor’s Sight]

[Grade: Fourth Tier]

[Description: The Emperor’s Sight allows the user to kill in jest. The recipient’s cultivation talent will increase, and they will naturally acquire various battle experiences. They can observe the terrain and see flaws in techniques, Spiritual Energy, and Qi circulation.]

“Why is it only Fourth Tier?”

Lu Changsheng frowned.

The ‘Sword Piercing the Big Dipper’ he had drawn during a normal lottery was a Fourth Tier Law Seed.

And this time, even in a high-level lottery, it was only Fourth Tier?

“It seems I was extremely lucky before, and this result is more normal.”

Lu Changsheng mused silently.

In his early years, he had drawn several Fourth Tier rewards in normal lotteries.

But except for ‘Sword Piercing the Big Dipper,’ the others were rather ordinary in value.

Though the Law Seed was Fourth Tier, seeing the results from his son Lu Qingshan, it was almost comparable to a Top-Tier Spirit Body. Even at Fifth Tier, it would not be inferior.

Lu Changsheng didn’t look at it further, planning to study this Law Seed in detail later.

“Zzzz! Zzzz! Zzzz——”

A golden streak shot through the sky, tearing the air with a golden wave, causing a fierce wind.

Even when Golden-Winged Roc slowed down, it was still much faster than many Golden Core cultivators.

Several days later, as they neared the Yin Ghost Sect, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed two Golden Core cultivators fighting a dozen miles away.

One of the Spiritual Energy fluctuations felt strangely familiar to him.

He immediately scanned with his Divine Sense and saw sixteen miles away, a tall, ordinary-looking woman in a blue and white combat dress, wielding a shining Magical Sword, fighting a glamorous pale-skinned woman with heavy makeup and a crown of white bone.

The Magical Sword in her hand emitted a sharp and flowing seven-colored sword light.

With a casual swing, countless streams of seven-colored sword energy appeared, crisscrossing the air with a murderous aura.

The woman with the white bone crown danced with a long black ribbon imbued with blood-colored flames, like a blood python shadow, encircling her and barely fending off the seven-colored sword energy.

It was clear that the woman with the white bone crown was no match for the sword-wielding lady. She was merely blocking her path.

“What is she doing here!?”

Lu Changsheng raised his brow, surprised at recognizing the sword-wielding woman.

This tall, plain-looking swordswoman was none other than Xiao Xiyue’s senior sister, Chu Qingyi!

Chu Qingyi had shattered and reformed her True Core into a Golden Core, cultivating the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Manual.

That’s why Lu Changsheng was very familiar with her Spiritual Energy aura and immediately saw through her disguise.

But Chu Qingyi should be in retreat at the Azure Cloud Sect. Why is she in the Jin Kingdom? And why near the Yin Ghost Sect?

“Could this be fate?”

Lu Changsheng stroked his chin.

Meanwhile, the two women fighting sensed Golden-Winged Roc’s monstrous aura, looking uneasy, unsure if it was friend or foe.

“This place isn’t safe to linger!”

Chu Qingyi knew the glamorous woman’s reinforcements could arrive anytime.

With the sudden appearance of another strong aura, it was clear the newcomer wasn’t friendly.

She immediately made a hand seal, and a deep blue flying sword shot out, etched with ancient symbols.

The flying sword quickly transformed into a massive sword, dozens of feet long, brimming with sharp, overwhelming killing intent, slashing towards the glamorous woman.

The flaming black ribbon, although tough, was torn apart by the sword.

But the ribbon immediately coiled like a python around the seven-colored sword, halting its advance.

Next, a phantom blood serpent appeared, spewing chilling ghost Qi.

Rusty black chains, corroded by time, suddenly emerged, extending towards Chu Qingyi with a cold, dark gleam.

“Clang! Clang! Clang——”

Chu Qingyi’s eyes sparkled coldly. Her Magical Sword cut through the chains, breaking the blockade, and she recalled her deep blue flying sword, preparing to flee.

But at that moment, a dark wind howled from the horizon as demonic clouds surged like thousands of ghosts marching, with hideous specters everywhere.

A gigantic ghost figure, dozens of feet tall, charged forward.

“Heeheehee——”

“Cackle cackle cackle——”

“Boohoohoo——”

“Friend, why leave so soon, when you’re already here?”

The ghost figure seemed composed of countless human shapes, male and female, young and old, some beautiful and seductive, others grotesque and terrifying. All of them spoke in unison, their voices sharp and soul-stirring.

The glamorous woman saw the ghost figure arriving and looked overjoyed.

She attacked Chu Qingyi again with her black ribbon treasure, trying to stall her.

“Break!”

Seeing this, Chu Qingyi paused, her Qi Sea Dantian lit up, and her Golden Core burst with radiant light as her sword began to hum.

Suddenly, several invisible sword lights converged, forming a deadly trap aimed at the glamorous woman.

“Not good!”

The glamorous woman quickly made a seal.

But the deep blue flying sword swiftly struck, leaving a deep wound on her body.

“Aagh——”

The woman screamed, her body floating like a ghostly shadow as she retreated several feet, trying to suppress the injury caused by the sword Qi.

“Heeheehee——”

The gigantic ghost figure lunged at Chu Qingyi.

The rolling demonic clouds seemed to lock down the whole area, plunging the sky into darkness and filling it with a suffocating atmosphere.

“Go!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng signaled Golden-Winged Roc to head towards them immediately.

Although Chu Qingyi was a sword cultivator with an exceptional Golden Core, her combat strength was formidable.

But this ghost figure’s aura was no weaker than Bai Feng Immortal back in the day.

If he added the glamorous woman, Chu Qingyi would be outmatched.

Besides, Lu Changsheng had come to the Yin Ghost Sect to demand an explanation.

Subduing two Golden Core cultivators first would make things much simpler later.

“Hmm?”

Lu Quanzhen, nearby, noticed Golden-Winged Roc suddenly veering off course, giving his father a surprised look.

“I just chanced upon a friend.”

Lu Changsheng gave him a quick glance and explained.

“A friend?”

Lu Quanzhen was stunned, his expression growing odd.

Does his father have so many friends?

To meet one at the Yin Ghost Sect of all places?

Whether this friend is male or female, he wondered.

Moments later, they saw a dark cloud oozing a foul aura, blanketing the sky.

From a distance, it was so oppressive that it weighed down on them, making it hard to breathe.

Clearly, Golden Core cultivators were clashing here!

“Buzz buzz buzz——”

In a few breaths, they saw beams of seven-colored light blast out of the dark cloud like pillars of light, tearing the murky skies apart.

“Aagh, aagh!”

Agonized, ear-piercing wails echoed, male and female, young and old, like a death chant, filling their hearts with terror and despair.

Without the Mysterious Yin-Yang Divine Light, just the sound alone would have been unbearable for Lu Quanzhen.

A sword shadow, glowing with seven-colored divine light, shot out of the rolling demonic clouds.

But within the demonic clouds, hideous, terrifying skulls formed and lunged toward the sword shadow.

Though Lu Quanzhen was used to bloodshed, scenes like this still stirred some fear within him.

It wasn’t that the sight was too gruesome.

But each move from the Golden Core cultivators’ abilities affected the emotions of everyone around them.

Chu Qingyi’s face remained cold as she faced the skulls without hesitation.

The seven-colored sword light swirled around her, radiating a chilling, sharp aura that seemed to tear everything apart.

However, just as she shattered the skulls, more ghostly figures and beasts formed within the demonic clouds, continuing their attack.

“Peng.”

Lu Changsheng stood tall and straight on Golden-Winged Roc, his aura steady, signaling it was time to strike.

“Vroom——”

Golden-Winged Roc instantly shot forward like a golden streak, charging straight into the demonic clouds.

The glamorous woman sensed a looming danger from Golden-Winged Roc and quickly dodged.

However, just as she moved, her mind felt like it had been struck by a hammer. Her face turned pale as she clutched her head in pain.

“Pfft!”

In the next moment, Golden-Winged Roc’s claws gripped her tightly. She spewed blood, unable to move.

“This.”

Lu Quanzhen was shocked by the scene.

Even though he knew his father was extraordinary, Golden-Winged Roc’s combat power was unmatched.

Seeing Golden-Winged Roc subdue a Golden Core cultivator in an instant still left him in awe.

It was simply astonishing!

After all, this was a Golden Core cultivator!

A Golden Core cultivator was held captive like a helpless chick.

Even Chu Qingyi in the distance was startled, both surprised and shaken.

While she was confident she could defeat the glamorous woman in a one-on-one battle.

She could never suppress her this easily.

After glancing at Golden-Winged Roc and the two figures riding it, Chu Qingyi didn’t hesitate, preparing to break free.

“Qingyi.”

Just then, a warm and steady voice echoed in her mind.

“Hmm!?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Qingyi froze.

She looked in disbelief at Lu Changsheng on Golden-Winged Roc’s back.

If she hadn’t trusted her Sword Heart, convinced this was him speaking to her through Divine Sense, she would have thought it was some demonic technique messing with her mind.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence!?

To meet him here in the Jin Kingdom?

“Who are you? Why are you opposing our Yin Ghost Sect!?”

The demonic clouds roiled, producing a voice that was hard to identify as male or female, sharp and grating, as if iron was being scraped.

Lu Changsheng didn’t respond but signaled Golden-Winged Roc to end it quickly.

With Golden-Winged Roc’s strength, he didn’t even need to lift a finger.

He then spoke to Chu Qingyi through Divine Sense: “Qingyi, let’s deal with this first, and then we can catch up.”

“Be careful; this person is from the Yin Ghost Sect.”

Chu Qingyi quickly warned, indicating that this person was very powerful.

But Golden-Winged Roc had already made his move.

“Hundred Thousand Golden Feathers!”

Monstrous aura surged, and suddenly countless golden talismans appeared.

In an instant, killing intent filled the air as countless golden feathers emerged.

Each feather was like an unparalleled divine sword, dazzling, radiating an overwhelming killing intent and sharpness, terrifying to behold.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh——”

“Screech screech screech——”

Golden-Winged Roc’s wings spread wide, kicking up violent gusts as its golden feathers shot out like meteors, unleashing blinding divine light.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft——”

In an instant, the demonic clouds were pierced, riddled with holes. Ghostly wails echoed across the sky as if countless spirits were mournfully crying.

“This ghost figure cultivates the ‘Dark Ghost Myriad Shadow Art.’ He can turn into countless spirits. The demonic clouds are all part of his ghostly forms.”

Chu Qingyi saw the demonic clouds dissipating and quickly informed Lu Changsheng.

Fighting this ghostly figure without finding his true form could lead to exhausting one’s Spiritual Energy.

“This is an outrage! Dare to cause trouble on the Yin Ghost Sect’s turf? You will pay the price!”

The ghost figure roared in anger, his voice grating.

Though he could transform into numerous ghosts, each one required cultivation and refinement.

Under Golden-Winged Roc’s ‘Hundred Thousand Golden Feathers,’ more than half of his ghost forms were obliterated, significantly lowering his combat strength.

However, instead of retaliating, he quickly retreated towards the Yin Ghost Sect, dragging the remaining ghost forms with him.

“Transform into countless ghosts?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow hearing this.

His gaze sharpened with a bright golden glow, scanning the demonic clouds and the ghostly figures within.

After a few breaths, he pinpointed one ghost, distinct from the others, more solid. He immediately signaled to Golden-Winged Roc.

Golden-Winged Roc’s golden eyes burned like the sun, discerning the target.

In an instant, countless golden feathers swarmed towards the ghost figure, forming an overwhelming sea of gold, filled with lethal intent that made onlookers shudder.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft——”

As expected, when the demonic clouds were dispelled, black blood splattered out amidst the ghostly wails.

Lu Changsheng then noticed a faint ghost trying to escape.

“Trying to escape? Yin-Yang Grand Capture!”

Lu Changsheng remained calm. His eyes shone with wisdom as his Qi Sea Dantian Golden Core resonated, releasing a blinding light.

A mystical stream of Yin-Yang Qi shot into the sky, forming a gigantic hand hundreds of feet long, grasping the fleeing ghost.

“This…”

Both Lu Quanzhen and Chu Qingyi were stunned, speechless.

Especially Chu Qingyi.

She had thoroughly investigated the Yin Ghost Sect and knew this ghost figure had reached the sixth level of Golden Core.

Moreover, the ‘Dark Ghost Myriad Shadow Art’ was notorious for being difficult to deal with, making even Late-Stage Golden Core cultivators hesitant.

But now, this ghostly figure was effortlessly subdued by Lu Changsheng!

The entire process was so fast she barely had time to react.
