Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Seeing the Ghost King suddenly appear and his overwhelming killing intent, Jin Ping'er assumed he was there to kill her. Trembling, she quickly summoned her Purple Light Blade and hid behind Zhang Xiaofan, saying:
"I can't beat you, so I can only hide behind you."

Azure Dragon stared at the Ghost King charging towards him, his eyes filled with fear.

For three hundred years, all those who have betrayed the Ghost King have met with only one fate: death.

Therefore, he felt that the Ghost King was most likely there to kill him and You Ji.

Although Qinglong was seriously injured and unable to fight, he still reached out to shield Youji behind him, saying:
"Little sister, if Zhang Xiaofan is no match for me, I will use the forbidden technique again, even at the cost of my immediate death, to cover your escape."

Youji shook her head and said firmly:

"Brother, let's go together."

As Zhang Xiaofan watched the Ghost King charge towards him, he activated all the secrets within his body: Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Dafan Prajna, Demonic Dao Techniques, and the four volumes of the Heavenly Book.

If the Ghost King dares to attack him, he will fight him in a fierce battle.

Now, he is no longer afraid of the Ghost King.

Even within the Ghost King Sect, there are now his confidants, such as Yan Hui and others.

However, the monk who killed people, who had followed the fish-men to the southern border, has not been found since.

It's highly likely that it's already dead.

Of the four great envoys of the Ghost King Sect, two have already died, and the other two have already submitted to him.

However, this is also the worst-case scenario, because Zhang Xiaofan felt that the Ghost King's target was not him, nor Jin Ping'er, nor Qinglong Youji, but... the Pukong Divine Monk in his possession.

Just then, the Ghost King rushed forward, reached out with his large hand, and his five fingers pierced directly into the shoulder of the monk Pukong.

"what……"

The monk Pukong let out a painful scream that echoed through Fox Hill.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Looking at the monk Pukong screaming in agony, the Ghost King suddenly burst into maniacal laughter and shouted:

“Pukong the Bald Monk, back then you destroyed the Six Fox Cave, causing my little fool to die tragically. All these years I have wished I could tear you to pieces, but you have been hiding in Tianyin Temple, making it impossible for me to find an opportunity.”

"Now that you're finally in my hands, I'll make you wish you were dead... Hahaha... Hahaha..."

Looking at the seemingly crazed Ghost King, Zhang Xiaofan completely understood how the other party felt at that moment.

After all, the Ghost King was also a very devoted man. So many years after Xiao Chi left, countless women threw themselves at him, but the Ghost King always remained indifferent.

Even the flower that the Ghost King first gave to Xiao Chi that day is still kept close to her body.

This shows the Ghost King's deep affection.

Looking at the crazed Ghost King and the way he looked at him as if he wanted to devour him, the monk Pukong knew that the Ghost King was about to make him wish he were dead.

Just thinking about it made his whole body tremble violently with fear. He wanted to die, he wanted to die immediately, to avoid the terrible tortures that followed. So he deliberately provoked him by saying:

"Ghost King, I heard that your wife, Xiao Chi, did something to save her daughter, Bi Yao, by cutting off her own flesh...tsk tsk...tsk tsk...just thinking about it makes me realize how desperate they were."

"Hehe... Just thinking about it is so exciting... If I had known, I would have slew Xiao Chi first and then killed him... Haha... Haha..."

"Bald monk...I want you dead..." Upon hearing this, the Ghost King's face turned terrifyingly grim. He glared at Pu Kong and roared:

"I am going to kill you!"

After saying that, he slapped Pukong hard on the head.

Upon seeing this, Pu Kong smiled with relief and quickly closed his eyes.

However, Pu Kong closed his eyes for a full three breaths, but the palm strike he longed for to shatter his brain did not occur.

He immediately opened his eyes and saw the Ghost King staring intently at him with a gloomy expression.

Upon seeing this, Pukong immediately said:

"Ghost King, your wife died tragically because of me. Any man would have killed me."

The Ghost King stared intently at Pu Kong, his icy voice ringing out: "Killing you? You're dreaming. Next, I'm going to torture you alive for a hundred years, making you regret ever being born."

After saying that, he knocked Pu Kong unconscious with a single palm strike and threw him to the ground.

Then, his gloomy face changed, and he put his hands behind his back, looking expressionlessly at Zhang Xiaofan, Jin Ping'er, and finally Qinglong and Youji.

Upon seeing this, Qinglong and Youji felt incredibly uneasy and flustered, but out of habit from over three hundred years ago, they still bowed and said:
"Azure Dragon greets the Sect Master!"

"Youji greets the Sect Master!"

The Ghost King glanced at the two of them and said indifferently:

"You've had a hard trip, go and rest."

Ok?
Qinglong and Youji were stunned. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

In their view, the Ghost King would definitely kill the two of them. In the end, Zhang Xiaofan made a move, and the Ghost King was afraid of Zhang Xiaofan. In the end, the two stopped fighting, and he and You Ji were able to save their lives.

However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they never expected that the Ghost King would not punish them for their betrayal.

This is extremely unusual. You must know that the Ghost King is notorious for his ruthlessness. For the past three hundred years, anyone who has betrayed him has only faced death.

Although they had doubts, neither of them dared to ask directly.

The Ghost King looked at the puzzled Azure Dragon and You Ji, and said:

"What, are you wondering why I, with my ruthlessness, haven't killed you two?"

"Or perhaps you're guessing that I want to get Zhang Xiaofan away first so I can kill the two of you?"

Upon hearing this, Azure Dragon immediately replied:

"Please, Sect Master, make the judgment!"

"Haha..." The Ghost King suddenly laughed twice, then patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and said:

“Zhang Xiaofan is my son-in-law, and I will pass on the position of sect leader of the Ghost King Sect to him in the future. Your allegiance to him is equivalent to pledging allegiance to me. What is there for me to be angry about? Why would I kill your two right-hand men?”

Upon hearing this, Azure Dragon immediately responded:
"The sect leader is right. The vice sect leader and the sect leader are family, so there is no distinction between you and me."

Although Qinglong said this, he had a different thought in his heart.

He had followed the Ghost King for over three hundred years and knew his nature; he certainly didn't think that way.

In fact, over the years, as Zhang Xiaofan's strength has grown, the Ghost King has become increasingly wary of him, and has even privately discussed with him how to deal with Zhang Xiaofan.

Therefore, he would never believe the Ghost King's words.

So, they turned their attention to Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said:

"Go down. Although the Ghost King is ruthless and merciless, he always keeps his word. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Qinglong was relieved and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Sect Master, Vice Sect Master, your subordinate and Youji will now take our leave."

After saying that, Qinglong turned and left.

You Ji first gave Zhang Xiaofan a deep look, then turned and left.

The Ghost King watched the two leave, his eyes filled with a cold glint, but then patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and smiled:
"Xiao Fan, you've had a long journey. There's a pavilion nearby; let's have a big drink together today."

Although Zhang Xiaofan didn't know what the Ghost King was up to, his Demon God Body was now fully formed, making him immune to all poisons. Even the most poisonous poison in the world, the Seven-Tailed Centipede, had no effect on him, and he was not afraid of any kind of poisoning.

So he gestured with his hand:

"Please go first, Ghost King!"
