Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Resurrecting Ji Zhengyu!

“Squeak, squeak~~~ Squeak, squeak~~~ Squeak, squeak~~~~”
The shadow emitted a sound akin to the chirping of cicadas, incredibly shrill.
“Hmm?”
Huang Xiaolong paused slightly. “This appears to be the unique language of the Yin Tribe… but I don’t understand it.”
The cry of the Yin creature contained a special pattern, likely a form of language. As the saying goes, humans have human speech, ghosts have ghost speech, and the Yin have Yin speech. Huang Xiaolong could understand ghost speech, but Yin speech was too foreign to him.
“Spare me!” However, soon the Yin creature began to speak human language. “Hold your horses, don’t oppose our Yin Tribe… or else there will be endless trouble… This world will sooner or later be in the bag for our Yin Tribe, even though you’re strong, you can’t save the entire human realm… I see you too have great secrets, so how about, we, the Yin Tribe, make an alliance…”
“Heh, as Yin exist in the form of shadows… so… I can easily snuff you out,” Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t! I don’t want to perish! As long as you don’t kill me, I can live forever! Don’t! Please~~ I beg you!” The Yin creature finally caved, pleading with Huang Xiaolong.
“Spill your secrets,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
“This… this…” The Yin creature emanated an evil aura, “I… I have nothing to say…”
Huang Xiaolong didn’t say much and slapped toward the cheek area of the shadow.
Slap~~~~!
“No! Don’t!” The Yin creature was utterly panicked, its shadow sizzling as it spewed foul-smelling pus, clearly wounded!
“This is your last chance,” Huang Xiaolong’s voice also took on a chill. “I ask, you answer. Don’t try to lie, or else—death.”
“Then… then okay… I’ll talk… I’ll talk…” the speech of the Yin creature was tinged with sobbing.
“Start with your origins,” Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment before asking.
“We crawled out from a passage from Yin Territory…” The Yin creature honestly revealed. “About a decade or so ago… that passage… it’s at… at the top of the snowy peak…”
At that, Huang Xiaolong looked up at the snow-capped mountain rising steeply, scrutinizing it closely, indeed at the top of the snowy peak, there were faintly discernible palace structures.
So it turned out that these few Yin creatures had not crawled out of the passage in Dong’an City.
“Another passage from Yin Territory to the human realm?” Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly. “How many Yin creatures crawled out of this passage including you?”
“Including me, just seven… all have been killed by you, leaving only me… all been killed by you…” Fear was evident in the voice of the Yin creature.
It continued, “This passage is right at the site of the ancient Kunlun School’s legacy… After taking possession of some human bodies and souls, we began to practice the martial arts of the ancient Kunlun School… Oddly, we, the Yin Tribe, seem to have an exceptional understanding and talent for the ancient martial arts of humans… In just over a decade, we all reached very high realms, surpassing human martial artists… Tsk tsk tsk, I must say, we, the Yin Tribe, truly are a magnificent race…”
“Shut up. Don’t show off your superiority complex in front of me,” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat impatient.
‘So the Yin Tribe has heaven-defying talent in ancient martial arts… this is one of their characteristics.’
“Okay… okay… I admit, you are also great… I think, you are not human, are you? Hehe~~~” The Yin creature let out a strange laugh.
“What about Xuanyuan Ba?” Huang Xiaolong pressed on methodically.
“Oh… Xuanyuan Ba, the crown prince of martial arts, while his martial arts talent cannot compare to our great Yin Tribe, he’s still exceptional among human martial artists…” replied the Yin creature. “That year, when he was in his teens, he actually went to train in the Kunlun mountain range, and I possessed him, devoured his soul, took over his body, and since then, I’ve been ranging through Huaxia with the identity of Xuanyuan Ba… I’ve also found that Yan Pianpian has a very special physique, if I unite with her, I could successfully give birth to the next generation of Yin Tribe…”
“`
The true Xuanyuan Ba died at a young age when he was just a teenager!
On the battle platform, Huang Xiaolong and the Yin creature exchanged questions and answers, silencing the crowd on the viewing platform. At a glance, it seemed as if Huang Xiaolong was talking to himself.
However, no one dared to make a noise, nor did anyone dare to act rashly.
Huang Xiaolong’s divine might was invincible, single-handedly defeating all under the heavens! His martial power was enough to deter everyone present!
Especially those from the ancient martial arts clans who had surrendered, they were now extremely apprehensive, fearing that Huang Xiaolong would settle accounts and bury them on the spot.
“How many passages connect the Yin Realm to the human world? Do you know the whereabouts of the other Yin creatures?” Huang Xiaolong asked coldly.
“This… I’m not sure.” The Yin creature hesitated.
“Heh heh~~~” A murderous glint flickered in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes as he swung his hand in a slap, harshly striking the face of the Yin creature.
Slap~~~!
Thick pus spurted out with a sizzling noise.
“No! No! Don’t! Don’t kill me! I really don’t know… I only know that passages like this exist not only in Huaxia but all around the world. However, not every Yin creature can crawl out successfully… it takes too much luck… In the Kunlun Sect’s heritage grounds, only seven of us managed to crawl out through the passage… There might be more in the future, but for now, it’s just the seven of us… Yet, there must still be other Yin creatures lurking in the human world… there must be! But I haven’t made contact with them…” The Yin creature screamed in agony.
“There’s more… I… I know that the king of our Yin Tribe… the great king… its son, also known as the ‘Crown Prince,’ had crawled into the human world before us! The Crown Prince of our Yin Tribe is definitely planning to conquer the human world!” The voice of the Yin creature was somewhat fervent.
“Crown Prince? The Crown Prince of the Yin Tribe?” Huang Xiaolong suddenly smiled. “You’re also a Crown Prince, aren’t you?”
“No no no~~~ how can I possibly be compared with the great Crown Prince? We are merely a bunch of foot soldiers… Our Crown Prince, inheriting the noble bloodline of the king, it… it knows the magic of our Yin Tribe… a magic more powerful than ghostly techniques and human Daoist magic! Heh heh heh~~~ Release me, or else our Yin Tribe’s Crown Prince will eventually find you and use the magic to destroy you!”
‘Interesting… the Crown Prince of the Yin Tribe? It seems ordinary Yin creatures do not know the Yin Tribe’s magic… Those with royal bloodline know some unique magic of the Yin Tribe…’ Huang Xiaolong’s gaze flickered as he pondered slightly. “I have not yet experienced the Yin Tribe’s magic… I wonder how it differs from Daoist magic and ghostly techniques.”
“I’ve told you everything I could, can you let me go now? Don’t worry, I won’t be your enemy… You are mighty, and I respect you!” The Yin creature begged pitifully.
After a pause, the Yin creature quickly added, “To redeem my life, I can also tell you a secret!”
“What secret?” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
“It’s the secret of a treasure!” The Yin creature chuckled strangely. “Atop the snowy peak is the heritage site of the ancient Kunlun Sect. However, we have only obtained a small portion of the peripheral inheritance. We haven’t got the true inheritance!”
“The true inheritance?” Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly.
“Yes, that’s the core inheritance of the ancient Kunlun Sect, but deep within the heritage site, there is a fearsome presence that we dread…” The voice of the Yin creature was also filled with apprehension. “It’s terrifying… Deep inside the heritage site, there’s a terrifying presence… There must be a supreme inheritance sealed there! You… you’re so strong, why don’t you go and acquire the strongest inheritance of the Kunlun Sect… How about it? This secret should be enough to exchange for my life, right? I won’t oppose you anymore, and after finding the Crown Prince, I could even introduce you to the great Crown Prince… allowing you to become an ally of our Yin Tribe and together dominate the human world!”
The Yin creature babbled non-stop, begging for mercy.
“The strongest inheritance of the ancient Kunlun Sect?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but cast another glance at the peak of the snowy mountain.
Next, Huang Xiaolong continued to interrogate the Yin creature until he was sure that no more information could be wrung from its mouth.
Right then, Huang Xiaolong prepared to eradicate the Yin creature.
But!
Suddenly!
A bold idea flashed through Huang Xiaolong’s mind, and he grasped it, pondering for a few seconds before nodding slightly. A smirk lifted the corners of his mouth, and a mysterious smile spread across his face.
Huang Xiaolong took out the Yin Soul Tube, captured the Yin inside, and then collected Xuanyuan Ba’s corpse as well.
‘Young Master Ji, this time, I’ve prepared a special gift for you…’ Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly with a hint of mystery.
After dealing with these Yin, the Rising Dragon Martial Arts Tournament also came to an end.
Prominent martial families, top ten scions, all perished!
This time, it will certainly cause a severe blow to the vitality of the Huaxia ancient martial world!
Huang Xiaolong’s gaze swept around, looking at the martial artists on the spectator platform.
Just then!
“Young Master Huang! Thank you for eliminating a group of evil doers! This Xuanyuan Ba colluded with the Kunlun Sect’s heir, aiming to erode and engulf our top ten ancient martial families of Huaxia, with wild ambitions! We too were forced, to play along reluctantly, but Young Master Huang, your methods are like those of a demon, utterly thwarting Xuanyuan Ba and others’ meticulous plans, truly exhilarating! From now on, we are willing to acknowledge Young Master Huang as the leader of the Huaxia ancient martial alliance!”
An old man stood up on the spectator platform and bowed shakily to Huang Xiaolong.
This person was the current Family Head of the Bian Family. When they had surrendered to the Kunlun heir earlier, this man was the most exuberant, revealing an utterly submissive face. Now, seeing Huang Xiaolong’s complete victory, he was also the first one to rush out demonstrating his loyalty.
A typical opportunist.
Suddenly, the entire spectator platform was flooded with all sorts of utterly sycophantic voices, one after another—
“Young Master Huang has truly eliminated a scourge for the people this time!”
“Actually, I saw it long ago that this Xuanyuan Ba was born with a traitorous streak, a shameless villain. Indeed, colluding with outsiders to usurp the foundation of our top ten ancient martial families of Huaxia… Deserves death! Truly deserves death! A sin worthy of a thousand deaths!”
“Exactly, exactly, from now on, our Yu Family will surely serve Young Master Huang, with utmost loyalty and without any complaints!”
“The first time I saw Young Master Huang, I just knew you were no ordinary person. Indeed, indeed, you are a dragon among men!”
…
Upon their initial arrival in the Ancient City, almost all the top ten ancient martial families were gritting their teeth against Huang Xiaolong, cursing and loathing him, wishing they could immediately tear him to a thousand pieces. But now, one was more subservient than the other, each more obsequious.
Utterly disgusting!
Ying Xiao felt both annoyed and amused. “These people have lost even a warrior’s integrity!”
“The dust has settled,” Ma Chuxia said with a smile. “It seems that our man is indeed the strongest, unmatched in the world.”
At this point, even Xuanyuan Zhou, in his bid to preserve his life, made an unusual gesture of respect toward Huang Xiaolong. “Young Master Huang, thank you for purging our Xuanyuan Family of traitors! Xuanyuan Ba, Xuanyuan Sa, Xuanyuan Du, they are all traitors of our family! Young Master Huang, with your discerning eye, you exposed their vile deeds and meted out the ultimate punishment. We of the Xuanyuan Family feel nothing but gratitude toward Young Master Huang and harbor no resentment!”
“Enough, all of you shut up,” Huang Xiaolong said disdainfully, frowning.
Now, Huang Xiaolong seemed to have developed an aura that silenced the noisy crowd with just a single sentence. The martial artists dared not make another sound, fearfully watching Huang Xiaolong, afraid that any misstep might displease him and bring about a deadly catastrophe.
Huang Xiaolong slowly made his way back to the Ying Family’s camp.
“Young Master Huang, thank you for avenging my grandfather,” Feng Hanyan whispered softly.
“`
Yan Pianpian had a blushing face, seemingly at a loss for how to interact with Huang Xiaolong. She had already publicly admitted to being Huang Xiaolong’s maidservant and naturally would not go back on her word.
“Son-in-law, who exactly were you talking to up there on the battle stage? You seemed to be talking to yourself,” Ying Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
“Little Long, those Kunlun descendants, as well as Xuanyuan Ba, are they all from the Yin Tribe?” Ma Chuxia whispered.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
“Son-in-law, our loss in the Ying Family this time is not significant, except for the scum Ying Qingfeng, who was executed by you. He got what he deserved. Such people, when the family faces crises, are the first to turn traitors and deserve to die; they truly do,” Ying Xiao nodded in agreement. “Son-in-law, shall we leave this place now?”
“We shall stay for a while,” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze turned towards the peak of the snowy mountain, “At the top, there’s the strongest inheritance of the Kunlun Sect. I plan to take a look.”
Huang Xiaolong was determined to visit that peak. To obtain the most powerful inheritance of the Kunlun Sect, he also needed to seal off the passage connecting to the Yin Realm. Otherwise, Yin creatures would continue to emerge and wreak havoc among humans.
“The Kunlun Sect’s strongest inheritance?” Ying Xiao was taken aback.
Everyone from the entire Ying Family’s camp, including some people from other noble families, had heard Huang Xiaolong’s words.
Huang Xiaolong had not intentionally concealed anything, so even people on some nearby viewing platforms heard everything crystal clear.
In the eyes of many, a fierce, even greedy light appeared!
“Yes, the inheritance those Kunlun descendants obtained was merely some superficial aspects of the ancient Kunlun Sect’s inheritance, the peripherals. The core inheritance is still buried in the deepest part of the Kunlun inheritance land,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “That’s the so-called Kunlun secret realm.”
Many people gasped in shock!
Tsk, tsk, just the peripherals of the inheritance had created several unbelievably powerful experts!
“Son-in-law!” Ying Xiao looked around cautiously and spoke in a low voice. “Others have heard it!”
“It doesn’t matter. The Kunlun secret realm is filled with danger and opportunity alike. I wish to explore it, and others are naturally free to do so. The strongest inheritance belongs to the one who is capable,” Huang Xiaolong said with composure.
In fact, Huang Xiaolong was well aware that even those Yin creatures did not dare to rashly dig for the strongest inheritance of the Kunlun Sect, which spoke volumes about its dangers.
If the people from the ten ancient Martial Families really dared to go, most would probably lose their lives. Huang Xiaolong did not bother to care about them.
“Alright, we’ll rest for a day. Tomorrow, we’ll find a way to climb to the top of the snowy mountain and explore Kunlun’s strongest inheritance,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
Soon after, Huang Xiaolong left the battlefield area and found a small palace within the Ancient City.
Huang Xiaolong released Ji Zhengyu’s soul.
“Master, what’s the situation now?” Ji Zhengyu appeared confused. “Has the Sky Dragon Martial Arts Competition ended? You must have outshone everyone, right?”
“Hehe, Young Master Ji, don’t ask too many questions for now,” Huang Xiaolong said with a mysterious smile. “Right now, I’m about to resurrect you. However, the body I’ve prepared for you is a bit special… Hehehe~~ this time, you’re in for a real treat!”
“Master! You, you’re going to… let me possess a body to resurrect?” Ji Zhengyu’s voice trembled.
“Yes, possession for resurrection!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes sparkled slightly as he murmured, “But it’s the body of a Yin creature…”
…
