Ghost King
Ghost King
Actually, there were people who felt that, to gather more than ten thousand people just to kill one woman was simply an outrageous thing. What was even more shocking to them was that so many people had gone over but had not returned after such a long time.
Could it be that a single Sima You Yeu was actually strong enough to fight against ten thousand experts? They initially felt that this was making an excessive fuss over nothing. Now, it seemed like she was just a freak!
When the tribulation clouds started to gather outside the city, the initial shock turned into terror. In the ghost realm, no matter who or how powerful, they would be afraid of that. It was a good thing that those tribulation clouds were over at Black Goddess Mountain and not here in the city, allowing everyone to heave a sigh of relief.
"Black Goddess Mountain, isn't that where everyone went? Let's go see just what's happened over there!"
Countless people flew over there, and the people who came to watch the show stopped outside the calamity area. When they saw the pile of bodies that had been fried black, they sucked in a breath.
Cloud Spirit finished striking those people and left after dusting its butt. The entire mountain was unrecognisable from the damage, and the piles of charred bodies were testament to the destruction. However, the scariest thing was that in the middle of the piles of corpses stood a beautiful lady, hugging a purple cat in her embrace, patting its fur leisurely. Although she had also been struck, she did not look the worst.
"Dark… Princess…" Someone muttered a name that nobody had mentioned for a long time.
Really… similar…
Even those who had rushed over were stunned.
"This person is Young Miss You Yue? If not because I already knew of her identity, even I would have thought that she was the Dark Princess." Di Wu stood beside Di Liu, his eyes suffused with shock.
"Young Miss has always been like that. She always shocks others with her actions." Di Liu looked excitedly at Sima You Yue. When he saw that the tribulation clouds were dissipating, he ran over eagerly and even cried out, "Young Miss, Young Miss! We came too late!"
"Di Liu?" Sima You Yue saw Di Liu and a smile finally broke out on her aloof expression, "What are you doing here?"
"Master heard that people had been hunting you down recently so he sent us here to protect you. This is Di Wu, and the ones behind us are the military men from our Di Clan." Si Liu introduced them.
"Di Wu greets Young Miss."
"The men of the Di Clan greet Young Miss!"
The military men of the Di Clan then knelt down before Sima You Yue.
They had actually arrived here earlier, but because this space had a seal on it, and they also saw that Sima You Yue could hold them back on her own, they did not come over. Instead, they chose to watch from the side.
Di Liu was initially incredibly anxious, but Di Wu stopped him with a single sentence.
Di Wu said, "If Young Miss can take those people down on her own strength, then nobody else in the entire ghost realm will dare cause trouble for her so easily."
Di Wu was right. This time, they could chase them all away, but if they did not fear Sima You Yue from the bottom of their hearts, the moment they were gone, she would suffer under their attacks again. Only if she could deal with them personally would she get peace.
They initially planned to intervene the moment they saw that she was unable to hold up under their attacks, but they didn't think that Sima You Yue was not only able to solve the problem on her own, she even used such an amazing method to beat them down. As the lightning tribulation rained down, their hearts trembled and were in awe of her.
It was not only them who felt this way. Those from Vast Province felt the same. They were unable to react all the way until the tribulation clouds departed. It was no wonder she did not let them come along with her. If they did, the lightning tribulation would have struck them to death as well.
"Young Miss, Master said that we were to protect you on your journey to the Imperial Capital." Di Liu said, "As for these people, I'm guessing that nobody else will dare to cause trouble for you anymore."
There was a movement in space as Wu Lingyu opened his little realm and lead Black Shadow and Huan out with him.
When Black Shadow and Huan saw Sima You Yue, they were still a little panicked. Because Wu Lingyu was worried about Sima You Yue, they were able to watch the situation from the inside. That earth splitting lightning terrified them down to their bones. If it struck them, it would really hurt!
It was especially so for Black Shadow. This was the first time that he saw Sima You Yue's lightning tribulation. His mouth had remained open wide in shock the entire time. He had always thought Sima You Yue to be weak, and that they were responsible to ensure her safety. However, after this experience, he would never assume her to be a weak chicken again.
Sima You Yue introduced them to Di Liu and Di Wu.
"Let's leave this place first. You can't even recognise who these corpses are anymore, but I'm guessing that their clansmen should still be able to." Wu Lingyu said.
Sima You Yue did not respond to him. However, she turned her gaze to the sky. Then, there was a sigh and a human figure slowly appeared in midair.
Sima You Yue saw the person who had come and her eyes went wide as she pursed her lips, remaining silent.
She was just wondering who it was. When the first strike of lightning had hit her, she could sense a slight change immediately in the air. It was extremely difficult to discover under those kinds of circumstances.
However, she had still caught a sense of it.
Di Wu and Di Liu saw the person who had come and immediately knelt down, greeting in unison, "Greetings, Ghost King."
That person was actually the Ghost King? Those who were familiar with him immediately knelt down. Immediately aside from the Ghost King, only Sima You Yue and the other three remained standing.
Ghost King did not mind their lack of manners as he asked while looking at Sima You Yue, "When did you discover me?"
"When the lightning tribulation started." Sima You Yue replied.
"Your senses are sharp." Ghost King looked at her appraisingly. After he arrived here, he had truly only released a bit of energy when he saw the lightning strike her. Furthermore, he had only released a little. He did not expect that she would notice it.
Sima You Yue looked away, "Why have you come here?"
"Di Zhe told me that you have come to the Ghost Realm." Ghost King understood her moodiness and gave an explanation that did not really explain anything.
He knew that she blamed him, and thought that he had not cared about her before, which was why she had ended up in this state. He had also told her that he had not known about her before this.
Sima You Yue remained silent.
When Ghost King saw her acting this way, he recalled how his precious little daughter would throw tantrums, and his eyes filled with pain.
"Come with me." He glanced at Wu Lingyu and the others, not barring them from following.
He walked out of the battlefield and stepped across those charred bodies. As he walked past those people who had come to watch the show who were now kneeling on the ground, he said, "Of those clans that came to participate today, kill them all."
"Yes, King."
The reply was in unison, then silence reigned again. His sentence also expressed his attitude, and also represented the fact that all the clans who came to participate in this event would quickly disappear from the ghost realm.
