The Thousand Ghost King's Terror

The Thousand Ghost King's Terror

"How is this possible? How could such a powerful being happen to pass through here? My lord, there may be some misunderstanding between us!"

The Thousand Ghost King was trembling all over in terror. This pressure far surpassed King Youmo's, which meant the person before him was at least at the Mahayana Stage.

One had to know, that was the Mahayana Stage. A single hand could instantly kill trash like him.

Before the Thousand Ghost King, a thin figure appeared before everyone. He looked utterly harmless, even somewhat frail, yet the Thousand Ghost King knew just how powerful the man before him was.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's name, Lu Xuan raised his head in shock. After finally making out that face, his expression filled with delight.

"You're... Grandpa Lu Changsheng!"

Hearing Lu Xuan's voice, Lu Changsheng lowered his head and saw him. His face was filled with nostalgia, as though he were thinking of something.

"You're Little Xuanzi, aren't you? I remember holding you when you were little."

"You really are Grandpa Changsheng."

The moment Lu Xuan heard Lu Changsheng's words, two streams of tears fell from his eyes. Across from him, the Thousand Ghost King's heart sank at once, and he immediately prepared to flee.

But Lu Changsheng had clearly seen through his intentions. He merely sighed softly.

"Immortal Bind."

With a flick of his finger, a beam of light shot from his fingertips. The Thousand Ghost King was struck before he could even react. In an instant, two rays of light bound him tightly, leaving him completely unable to move.

Before anyone could even react, the Thousand Ghost King, who had been so arrogant and domineering moments ago, had been subdued just like that?

The system really came through. It actually gave me such a powerful backing, Lu Jiuyuan thought as he looked at Lu Changsheng in the sky. At that moment, Lu Changsheng slowly descended above the Lu Family. Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurried before him and respectfully said, "Lu Family descendant Lu Xuan pays respects to Ancestor Changsheng."

"Little Xuanzi, there's no need for such formalities between us."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and waved a hand, helping Lu Xuan to his feet. Then, as though he had sensed something, his expression darkened with anger.

"What exactly happened to my Lu Family?"

Clearly, when Lu Changsheng had spread out his divine sense just now, he discovered that only Lu Xuan and one young man in the entire Lu Family possessed Lu Family bloodline. The rest had not the slightest connection to the Lu Family.

Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, Lu Xuan began to weep bitterly.

"Ancestor, I have failed you! I failed to preserve the Lu Family's prosperity and allowed villains to seize the chance to wipe out my Lu Family."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he opened them and looked toward Lu Jiuyuan.

"Boy, are you a descendant of my Lu Family?"

Lu Jiuyuan's heart surged with excitement at those words, though his face carried a trace of heaviness as he stepped forward.

"Ancestor Changsheng, I am Lu Xuan's grandson, Lu Jiuyuan."

"Good, good, good! As long as there is even one member of my Lu Family alive, then the Lu Family bloodline has not been completely severed."

Upon learning that the Lu Family still had a surviving descendant, the grief in Lu Changsheng's heart eased considerably. Then he murmured, "Several hundred years ago, I left the Lu Family in search of an opportunity to become immortal. Only after enduring countless hardships did I attain the Mahayana Stage. Yet I never imagined that, as time and circumstances changed, my Lu Family would have declined as well. But now that I have returned, it is time for my Lu Family to restore its former glory."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

The guests present all heard Lu Changsheng's words and were instantly shocked. The Lu Family actually had such a terrifying backing—a Mahayana cultivator? Even the Yuanwu Kingdom would have no guarantee of victory against a Mahayana cultivator.

Meanwhile, after hearing Lu Changsheng's words, the Thousand Ghost King began viciously cursing King Youmo in his heart. This is the Lu Family with no backing that you spoke of?

"Senior, spare my life! I am willing to become the Lu Family's household slave!"

The Thousand Ghost King begged incessantly. Yet Lu Changsheng remained unmoved by his pleas and was just about to slap him to death when Lu Jiuyuan stepped forward.

"Ancestor, spare him."

Seeing Lu Jiuyuan step out, the power gathered in Lu Changsheng's hand dissipated. He asked with interest, "Oh? Do you have something in mind?"

As Lu Jiuyuan stepped forward, the Thousand Ghost King's heart swelled with excitement. Was he going to be saved?

"Ahem, Ancestor, I'm still lacking guards on my side. How about giving the Thousand Ghost King to me as a guard?"

Lu Jiuyuan said somewhat sheepishly. He did not have any truly powerful guards yet. He could hardly have the two ancestors follow him everywhere he went.

Upon hearing Lu Jiuyuan's words, Lu Changsheng began considering whether it was feasible. The Thousand Ghost King hurriedly begged, "My lord, I am willing to become the Young Master's guard!"

"Very well. In that case, swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that you will never betray my Lu Family for all eternity."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng ultimately agreed. The current Lu Family truly lacked capable people, so this could be considered giving the Thousand Ghost King an opportunity.

At the mention of a Heavenly Dao Oath, hesitation appeared on the Thousand Ghost King's face. Once he swore such an oath, it would be equivalent to placing his very life in the Lu Family's hands.

Of course, if one day the Thousand Ghost King could break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm and defy the Heavenly Dao itself, then the Heavenly Dao Oath would naturally become ineffective.

Seeing the Thousand Ghost King's hesitation, Lu Changsheng snorted coldly.

"Looks like you're still unwilling. In that case, go die."

Feeling the terrifying killing intent radiating from Lu Changsheng, the Thousand Ghost King could no longer worry about anything else. He hurriedly swore a Heavenly Dao Oath. As a low rumble rolled through the void, it signified that the oath had been acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao.

Should he dare violate it, he would surely be struck down by the Heavenly Dao's Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation.

With the Heavenly Dao Oath acknowledged, the Thousand Ghost King stepped before Lu Changsheng and respectfully cupped his hands in salute.

"Greetings, Patriarch."

"Mm. From today onward, your foremost duty will be to protect the Lu Family's Young Master, Lu Jiuyuan."

"To think the Lu Family possesses such a terrifying backing—even Great Ascension Immortals exist among them."

Seeing this, Uncle Chen, still lying on the ground, spoke with utter shock. Such a foundation had already far surpassed the Yuanwu Kingdom.

Ling Qingping also let out a breath of relief at the sight, though a trace of curiosity showed in her eyes. She had never heard that the Lu Family possessed such a terrifying background.

The guests present were even more stunned. Only Ling Xukun was now so overjoyed that he could not speak.

The Lu Family still owed him two chances to make a move, and now that the Lu Family had become a clan even stronger than the Yuanwu Kingdom, did that not mean the Ling Family would soar to great heights from this day onward?

Just then, an enraged voice rang out from the distance.

"Youmo Sect scum! If you dare harm my daughter, I will wage all-out war against your Youmo Sect! Until death!"
