Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 729

Chapter 729: Faces On The Wall!

“You have the aura of the little princess on you. Looks like that guy with the family name Xiao didn’t lie to us 20 years ago. The little princess is still alive.”

“Xiao?”

Along with the voice of Qin Yan from the ghost soldiers, Ye Chen squinted, “Is his name Xiao Buyi?”

“That’s right!”

Qin Yan said, “After master and mistress died, adding to the little princess’s disappearance, we transformed into evil spirits and fell into desolation for over a hundred years.”

His body started to fade.

“Wait!”

Ye Chen asked immediately, “Is the little princess you’re talking about a little girl about four or five years old named Qianqian?”

“You even know the little princess’s nickname. Looks like our guess was right. The little princess is still safe!”

Qin Yan’s body became more and more illusory, including the dozens of ghost soldiers behind him, reaching the point of vanishing, “Our wish has been fulfilled. It’s time to go after master and mistress.

Please help me pass a message to the little princess. Live well on the Celestial Burial Planet and never return to the Ancient Desolate Realm. Also, you must protect the Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet well. Remember that…”

When the last word was said, Qin Yan and the dozens of ghost soldiers vanished from Ye Chen’s sight completely.

A stone tablet appeared on the ground.

The stone tablet was about 600 centimeters along and was only a palm wide. It emitted a trace of ancient aura and there was a faint divine light surging around it. There seemed to be mysterious carvings on it.

Ye Chen walked over and wanted to pick it up, but he realized that it was extremely heavy. He could not help but use his physical strength to pick it up, “Celestial Burial Planet, Ancient Desolate Realm, Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet?”

From Qin Yan’s last words, he learned many things roughly. Firstly, they must have followed this ghost ship’s owner when they were alive. Later on, the ghost ship was attacked by people, and a great change happened, turning it into a ghost ship.

The middle-aged couple died, and their only daughter’s whereabouts were unknown. Qin Yan and the rest transformed into evil spirits to guard the ghost ship just to wait for news of the little princess.

Looking at it now, Qianqian was the little princess Qin Yan was talking about, and she was even the daughter of this ghost ship’s owner.

The Grandpa Sun that Qianqian was talking about must have some connection with the ghost ship’s owner. After the huge change on the ship, that man with the surname Sun brought Qianqian to China. However, for some reason, the two of them separated again.

He had thought that Qianqian’s background was extraordinary, but he did not expect her to be connected to the ghost ship, and there were so many complicated past events involved.

Ye Chen studied the stone tablet quietly and secretly frowned, “Where exactly is the Ancient Desolate Realm? Is it the end of the ghost ship? And what’s this Forbidden Ancient Desolate Realm Tablet?”

From the Celestial Burial Planet Qin Yan spoke of, he could roughly guess that it was Earth.

However, why was Earth called the Celestial Burial Planet?

Earth had been existing for nearly five billion years. It had experienced the Archean, the Proterozoic, and the Phanerozoic. During these periods, many civilizations had appeared. Even now, with such advanced technology, it was still impossible to crack all of them.

Humans, on the other hand, had only been existing a few million years ago. They were only a drop in the ocean in the five billion years of time. Even the Patriarch of Hell, who was an old monster at the Tribulation Stage in his previous life, could only live for 10,000 years.

‘Celestial Burial, could it be that Earth once buried immortals?’

Thinking to this point, he was shocked by his own thoughts. He immediately put the stone tablet away into his storage ring and turned around to go after Luo Tianya and the rest.

…

The second floor of the ghost ship led to the ancient coffin in the previous secret chamber.

The group returned once again. Everyone looked at Shi Qianhan in confusion, “Why are we back here?”

“You might not know this, but this coffin contains hidden secrets. It’s the only entrance to the third floor of the ghost ship.

After saying that, Shi Qianhan took a step forward and slapped the side of the ancient coffin with one hand, shouting, “Rise!”

Bang…

The entire ancient coffin shook violently and flipped over in an instant. He immediately leaped into the ancient coffin, “Follow me!”

The group did not hesitate and jumped into the ancient coffin one after another. However, they were shocked to discover that the location that the ancient coffin led to had changed. It was no longer the secret chamber from before, but a hall similar to a martial arts arena.

The walls around the hall were filled with relief sculptures. They looked like human faces, they were very vivid.

“This is the third floor of the ghost ship?”

Luo Shuiyao examined the reliefs on the wall as she asked suspiciously, “But Xiao Yuanjing and the rest aren’t here!”

Xiang Heng said, “Could they be on the fourth floor?”

“That’s impossible!”

Shi Qianhan’s eyes narrowed, and he abruptly turned around to look straight at Xiang Heng, who had just spoken. His gaze was filled with cold killing intent.

The man did not expect his reaction to be so big. He was so shocked that he did not dare reply.

The others looked at each other and felt that Shi Qianhan’s reaction was a little odd. Luo Tianya said calmly, “There are a total of four floors on the ghost ship. Now that there’s no one on the fourth floor, where did Xiao Yuanjing and the rest go?”

“Ah!”

It was at this moment that someone cried out in alarm. He retreated several steps and looked at the reliefs on the wall in fear, “These reliefs… can move!”

Just as he said that, another scream was heard. Suddenly, a bloody hand grabbed a young man from the Xiang family and pierced through the wall.

Pitter-patter…

Blood immediately seeped out from the walls, it was a ghastly sight.

Everyone could not help but take a step back. When they looked again, they saw the motionless faces on the wall begin to move.

These human faces seemed to be glued to the wall. They squirmed maniacally, and at the same time, they reached out their hands. Countless screams echoed, “Save me, save me…”

Everyone’s faces turned pale.

One of the old faces suddenly looked at Yuan Qitai and said, “Qitai, I’m Huo Bei. I’m the previous leader of Banshan. Save me, save me…”

Yuan Qitai was shocked. He widened his eyes and looked closely at the old man’s face. He realized that the man was the previous Banshan leader, Huo Bei, whom he was looking for.

At this moment, another human face tried to struggle out and said in an extremely mournful voice, “Xiao Nan, don’t you remember me? I’m Xiang Jian, the seventh elder of the Xiang family. I’m your Seventh Uncle!”

Xiang Nan, who was in the crowd, sized him up in shock. His expression suddenly changed, “It’s really the seventh elder of the Xiang family. How did you become like this?”

When the ghost ship appeared 20 years ago, the entire Shang Santian had sent countless powerhouses. Even a group of powerhouses from China’s secular world had boarded the ghost ship. However, all of them had been left on the ship, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

As a result, many people had come to investigate whether these people were dead or alive. They did not expect to see them here.

Xiang Heng who was beside Xiang Nan was extremely excited, “It’s really Seventh Uncle!”

The human face reached out a hand and begged, “Dear child, save me, save me. Seventh Uncle will not forget you. Seventh Uncle will impart to you his life’s cultivation experience.”
