Chapter 762: King Yan Slayer

Compared to the mindless ghosts and ghouls from before, these ones were wearing armor and wielding various weapons such as sabers and spears. Keeping to a tight formation, each battalion was led by a tall and powerful ghost god.

There were ten ghost gods in total, and all of them were carrying a banner that was fluttering soundlessly behind their backs. It was an intimidating look to say the least.

The army of yin soldiers seemed endless at first glance. They were anywhere and everywhere. It was as if the Fengdu had resurrected in this corner of the world.

“Is this enough?” The woman asked while reaching into an attendant’s shirt and squeezing her breast.

“The King Yan Slayer?” Sun Sovereign stared at the sea of yin soldiers with a grave expression on his face. “That is the personal Strange Artifact of the master of the Zongtian Palace of the Grand Fiend Abode of Forgiveness, one of the Six Ghost and Gods. Who are you?”

A Disaster-class Strange Artifact, the King Yan Slayer was forged by collecting the souls and undying will of loyal soldiers using the banners of an ever-victorious army. It enabled one to summon a hundred thousand ghost gods and yin soldiers with a single thought. “Today is the day we die, a hundred thousand under the banner to slay King Yan.” That was how people described the Strange Artifact, and how it came to earn its name.

The King Yan Slayer was the personal Strange Artifact of the master of the Zongtian Palace of the Grand Fiend Abode of Forgiveness, one of the Six Ghost and Gods. They once used it to harm humanity until the thirteen sword celestials of Swordsgrave joined hands to wipe out the army of one hundred thousand to the last. With one of their strongest weapons neutralized, the master had no choice but to withdraw back to Fengdu.

The threat the King Yan Slayer posed was as straightforward as it was effective. A disciplined, fearless army of one hundred thousand was a threat to anyone in the world. Not even a Sage could fight against such an army head on.

There was a silver lining though. It was clear that King Yan Slayer hadn’t achieved a full recovery yet because the army surrounding them, while numerous, definitely did not number a hundred thousand. The yin soldiers themselves were incomparable to the original loyal souls and undying wills.

That did not mean they could underestimate the army though. Not in the slightest. This was a threat they had to go all out against even when they were at peak condition, much less now.

“You are as old as you are wise, Sun Sovereign. It is the King Yan Slayer.”

The woman beamed at him. “My name is Yu Hua, but you may not know who I am. I’m just a nobody after all.”

“Yu Hua?” Sun Sovereign uttered coldly. “You’re Mistress Yu Hua, one of your master’s three consorts? I would not call myself a nobody if I were you.”

“Oh? You know me? Haven’t you heard that too much knowledge maketh fools?” Mistress Yu Hua replied less enthusiastically.

“Are you planning to kill us all, Mistress?” Sun Sovereign countered.

“That’s certainly an option. It depends on what you choose, of course!” Mistress Yu Hua replied with a seductive wink while caressing her wine cup.

“Is this your will or your master’s?”

“Is there a difference?” Mistress Yu Hua smirked.

“Oh, there is. If it’s your will, then the consequences of killing us are quite severe,” Sun Sovereign said coldly. “Scratch that, not even your master can bear the consequences of our deaths.”

No one here was a nobody, not even the wanderer Madman Chu. They either had friends or backings from the Demonic Mountain, Way of Taiping, Maitreya Sect, the army in Northern Xinjiang. None of them was a force a single six Ghost and God could afford to provoke.

“Oh, I know. I’m well aware that you all have good friends and greater patrons.” Mistress Yu Hua caressed her attendant’s face while blinking coyly at the group of five. “But so what? If you all die here, then no one would ever find out what happened, right?”

“Holy, your chest is small, but your mouth is gaping,” Madman Chu scoffed with unbridled disdain. “Come at us then. If you manage to kill me, then good for you. Otherwise, it will be your funeral.”

“Namo Bhavishya Buddha. It is easy to take a life, but difficult to silence a mouth. We are not the only ones present in the Demonbearer Abode. If even a single one of us manages to escape, then the whole world will learn about your attack.”

Laughing Buddha clasped his hands together in prayer and said indifferently, “The only way you can keep this a secret is if you slaughter everyone who entered the Demonbearer Abode, but that would result in a consequence on an entirely different scale. It will be one that neither you, your master, or even the entire Fengdu could bear.”

“Oh? Are you threatening me, Venerable One?” Mistress Yu Hua smiled devilishly at him.

“I’m not threatening you. I am simply stating facts.”

Laughing Buddha continued, “We old men are hardly the only ones who have come to the Demonbearer Abode. The young, promising geniuses such as the Little Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Dao Child of the San Qing Temple are present as well. If you killed them, you would be declaring war against the Three Temples of Dao, no, the orthodoxy itself. Does Fengdu truly plan to repeat the mistake a thousand years ago?”

“You are an intelligent woman, Mistress. Why don’t you take your time mulling over the pros and cons of this matter?”

“Oh my, that is a conundrum.”

That was what she said, but Mistress Yu Hua did not look troubled in the slightest. “So, what do you suggest, Venerable One?”

“I’m sure you already have a plan, Mistress!” Laughing Buddha replied.

“Tell me your plan first. Who knows, maybe yours will turn out better than mind?” Mistress Yu Hua did not deny the fact that she had a plan. “I don’t mind learning from my betters.”

“Namo Bhavishya Buddha. You came here for the Dark Overlord’s treasures, not our lives, am I right?” Laughing Buddha chanted before saying, “If you let us go, then we will give up the Dark Overlord’s treasures to you. We will not plot revenge against you in the future either, so you can rest easy about that.”

“Who are you to make my decisions, Laughing Buddha?” Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows interrupted coldly.

“Oh? It looks like not everyone agrees with your solution!” Mistress Yu Hua cupped her forehead and side-eyed Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows. “In fact, I don’t think you can speak for anyone but yourself. That is a conundrum.”

“I don’t think their opinions matter. After all, the winner takes it all, am I right?” Laughing Buddha beamed. “If someone disagrees, I am perfectly willing to aid you and kill them dead.”

“Are you insane, Laughing Buddha?” Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows looked livid.

“Hahaha... you really are an interesting person, Venerable One.”

Mistress Yu Hua giggled before looking at the others. “So? Do the rest of you agree with his solution?”

“Hahaha... the main reason I came here is simply to witness the Dark Overlord in action. Since I have, then I am content. I do not mind giving up the extras,” Madman Chu barked out in laughter.

“The winner takes it all,” Xu Xiu said simply and murderously.

Sun Sovereign’s eyes glinted. “I came here to train following the Child of the Demon. I don’t really care about anything else.”

“And you, Sakyamuni?” Mistress Yu Hua looked at Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows, her smile growing even brighter than before.

“Hmph. I have no objection.”

Since everyone had agreed to give up the Dark Overlord’s treasures in exchange for their lives, there was nothing he could do no matter how disgruntled he was. “A piece of advice to you, Mistress Yu Hua. Eat too much, and you might just choke on your food.”

“That is for me to worry about.” Mistress Yu Hua giggled despite Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows’ subtle threat. In the end, it was the bark of a defeated dog. “Goodbye then. I shan’t see you off.”

“Namo Bhavishya Buddha. Goodbye, Mistress!” Laughing Buddha chanted and turned around to leave without any hesitation whatsoever.

“Hahaha... if fate wills it, then we will meet again!” Madman Chu barked out in laughter before turning away as well. Xu Xiu followed right behind him without saying anything.

Sun Sovereign gave Mistress Yu Hua a nod before transforming into a beam of light, shooting toward the horizon.

Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows was the only one who glared hatefully at Mistress Yu Hua. A few seconds later, he finally departed with great reluctance.
