Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 487
Chapter 487 Bird Heron
Huairou Palace frowned slightly when they heard the servants’ hurried cries. “What’s the big deal?” They shouted.
A servant rushed in and hurriedly bowed to Huairou Palace. He panicked and shouted, “Master… We… There’s a lot of black gas in front of our mansion. It’s like devil energy, but also like ghost energy. It’s very strange. This black gas can’t be dispelled, can’t be dispersed, and touched… The flesh and blood on this body fell to the ground. It’s terrifying!”
“Black gas?”
Huairou Palace’s eyes tightened. Without saying a word, they directly walked out of the door. Su Yun and Huairou Muyu immediately followed.
The group arrived at the gate of Huairou Mansion. At this moment, there were many experts from Huairou Clan blocking the gate. In the distance, there were servants from Huairou Clan. When they saw Huairou Palace coming, everyone knelt down and bowed.
“Greetings, Master!”
The guards bowed and moved aside.
Huairou Palace walked over, only to see a large amount of black gas floating in the sky outside Huairou Manor. The pedestrians on the road had long disappeared, and it was very quiet. As for the black gas, it was constantly rippling and strange.
“When did this aura appear?”
Huairou Palace asked.
“About a stick of incense ago, this subordinate thought that it was an unintentional move by a Spirit Cultivator. However, I never thought that not only did this aura not dissipate, it actually became more and more intense, and it was extremely corrosive and untouchable.”
The guard guarding the gate cupped his fists and said.
“Do you know where it came from?”
“It’s a black skull.”
“Black skull?”
Huairou Palace was slightly stunned.
The guard pointed at the open space opposite the gate, only to see a skull covered in cracks lying quietly on the open space. At this moment, the skull no longer emitted black gas, but there was no doubt that this should be a magic treasure, as if someone had deliberately left it here.
“Did someone do it on purpose?”
Huairou Palace thought.
Su Yun sized up the skull and closed his eyes to feel the black gas floating in the sky. Suddenly, he discovered that the black gas was somewhat similar to the aura emitted from the black cauldron.
Could this be…
Hiss hiss hiss…
Suddenly, a strange sound came out. The pitch-black aura in the air suddenly moved. They quickly gathered together and combined. In the blink of an eye, they formed a huge evil face.
This face was exactly the face he saw in the black cauldron…
The moment his face appeared, everyone was shocked. The guards of Huairou Manor gathered and surrounded him.
Huairou Palace stared at that face and said solemnly, “Azure Ghost King?”
“Huairou Palace? Haha, the Huairou Clan is truly inferior to each other. They are also businessmen. I wonder how much stronger Huairou Burial Sword’s cultivation is than yours.” The evil-faced voice came out, and the disdain was very strong.
Huairou Palace is not angry, but said indifferently, “Jiang Shan generation of talented people, although my Huairou Palace is not good, but this does not mean that my Huairou family will no longer be able to appear, you just wait and see.”
“Wait and see? I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait until then.” The Azure Ghost King laughed coldly and continued, “People from the Huairou Clan, what you have now should belong to my Azure Ghost King, not you. The Huairou Burial Sword used despicable methods to seize all of this. Now, I think it’s time to take it back!”
“What are you doing?” Huairou Palace said with a serious expression.
“Ten days from now, I will send people to Five Leaves City to retrieve everything that belongs to me.”
The Azure Ghost King whispered.
Huairou Palace’s expression darkened. “Azure Ghost King, aren’t you afraid of the curse seal that my ancestor Huairou Burial Sword gave you? Aren’t you afraid of my ancestor’s’ Sacred Heart ‘? If you dare to act recklessly, you will undoubtedly die!”
“Curse Seal? Haha, he can’t do anything to me when he’s alive with the Soft Burial Sword. Am I still afraid of him if he dies? Furthermore, the ‘Heart of Saints’ … ask its owner, Huai Rou Muyu, if he dares to use this treasure.” The Azure Ghost King said.
After saying this, Huairou Palace immediately turned to look at Huairou Muyu. However, Huairou Muyu was silent at this moment.
“Yu’er, give me the Sacred Heart.”
Huairou Palace whispered.
Huairou Muyu took a step back and gently shook her head, “Father, the curse on your body has not been lifted yet. If I give it to you, they will immediately kill you.”
“Then use the Heart of Saints to kill them. I don’t believe anyone can escape the attack of the Heart of Saints!” Huairou Palace said.
However, Huairou Muyu still shook her head. She would never casually joke about her father’s life. Previously, when Su Yun and Ye Moxian fought, Su Yun could ignore the life and death of Huairou Palace. That was because Su Yun was not a child of Huairou Palace, but she was Huairou Muyu.
Seeing her daughter being so stubborn, Huairou Palace opened its mouth, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he understood better than anyone, Although Sacred Heart was powerful, However, he could only deal with one person. If he used it to kill Ye Moxian, not only would he die from the curse, but the Azure Ghost King would also persecute the Huairou Clan without any scruples. If he used it to kill the Azure Ghost King, Ye Moxian would probably control all of this and use his own life to persecute the Huairou Clan.
“Hahaha” The Azure Ghost King let out a burst of complacent laughter. “Right now, the Curse Seal is unable to restrain me, and this’ Sacred Heart ‘has also lost its effect on me. Now is a great opportunity. Why don’t I come get what I deserve? Huairou, ten days from now, my disciple Ye Moxian will personally come here to retrieve everything that belongs to me. Be prepared.”
The Azure Ghost King smiled.
“Although I won’t randomly use ‘Sacred Heart’ on you, it doesn’t mean that I’m just waiting to die. No matter who comes, you have to prepare him for death.”
Huairou Muyu whispered.
“Die?” The Azure Ghost King sneered again and again, “Are you worthy to say these two words? You should bathe your heads and wait for my soul to seize your souls!”
After saying that, the twisted ghost face began to slowly dissipate. Even the aura in the air gradually dissipated, as if everything was about to return to its original state.
The expressions of everyone present were extremely heavy. Huairou Palace was the most serious one. Right now, none of the methods left behind by his ancestors to restrain the Green Ghost King were useful. Now, if none of the Huairou Aristocrat Clan could match the existence of the Green Ghost King, then the Huairou Clan would surely perish.
“This time … this is really bad.”
Huairou Palace helplessly sighed and muttered.
“Father, the soldiers are here to block the water and cover the earth. There is nothing that cannot be solved. Now, what we need to do is think of a way to deal with the Green Ghost King!!” Huairou Muyu said.
“Deal with? How?”
Huairou Palace shook his head and said, “The Azure Ghost King was a powerful existence in the same period as our ancestor. Although he experienced many things that greatly reduced his cultivation, his current strength is still peerless. Other than those peak existences in Beiyang, no one else can contend against him. In the region outside Beiyang, he is a god. How do you want our Huairou Clan to deal with this god?”
However, Huairou Muyu did not care about this voice. Her small face was full of seriousness as she looked at Huairou Palace and said seriously, “Father, have you forgotten our ancestor? Could it be that the situation our ancestor faced back then was better than ours? He was not afraid, so why are you worried?”
Hearing Huairou Muyu’s words, Huairou Palace remained silent for a long time. After some time, Only then did he sigh softly, He nodded, “Yes, Yu’er, perhaps at this juncture, I am indeed inferior to you. Since you have said so, then let’s think of another way. After all, there are still ten days left. If we can remove the curse on my body within these ten days and continue to threaten the Green Ghost King with the Heart of Saints, then everything can be saved. Without the support of the Green Ghost King, Ye Moxian will definitely not act recklessly.
Huairou Muyu nodded.
Huairou Palace did not hesitate. He immediately turned his head and shouted to the guard beside him, “Send someone to inform Daoist Priest Bird Heron immediately and tell him to hurry to Wuye City. Tell him that the Huairou Clan is in danger of extermination, and ask him to help!”
“Yes!”
The guard didn’t dare to hesitate, cupped his fists and left.
“Daoist Priest Bird Heron? Father, who is that?”
“That’s the friend I was talking about. I sent him here to show him my Curse Seal. He is from the Heavenly King Palace in Beiyang. He is strong, has extraordinary knowledge, and understands array seals. He can be compared to others. If he is here, he can at least think of a plan for me. Although he is not as talented in business as Yu’er, he has made some friends over the years.”
“Master Huairou, is your friend from the Heavenly Palace?”
Without waiting for Huairou Muyu to speak, Su Yun exclaimed.
Huairou Palace looked at Su Yun with a puzzled expression, “Little friend Su, do you know anyone from the Heavenly King Palace?”
“I don’t know.” Su Yun shook his head, then cupped his fists and said, “However, I heard someone say that my parents had stayed in the Heavenly Palace for a period of time. My parents have been separated from me for many years, so if possible, let me have a chat with Daoist Priest Bird Heron and ask about my parents.”
“This isn’t difficult.” Huairou Palace waved his hand, “You saved Yu’er’s life time and time again. You are my Huairou Clan’s benefactor. I will explain these things to Bird Heron.”
“Thank you very much.”
Three days later.
A middle-aged man dressed in a green and yellow Daoist robe and holding a long sword was invited into Huairou Prefecture. This person was none other than Daoist Priest Bird Heron.
It was said that Daoist Priest Bird Heron had left Beiyang and was working around Wuye City. That was why he rushed here so quickly. Hearing that something big had happened to the Huairou Clan, Daoist Priest Bird Heron rushed here without stopping.
When Su Yun arrived at the reception hall of Huairou Prefecture, Huairou Palace and Daoist Priest Bird Heron had already talked for a long time inside. When Su Yun and Huairou Muyu entered the hall, the few of them began to discuss business.
In order not to disturb the Huairou Clan’s business, the Huairou Palace completely sealed off this matter. Even the upper echelons of the Huairou Clan did not notify him. In fact, in his opinion, it was useless for the upper echelons of the Huairou Clan to participate in this matter. Most of them were businessmen and could do little to help. It was their duty to continue maintaining the Chamber of Commerce.
Su Yun and Huairou Muyu stepped forward and bowed to the man in the azure yellow daoist robe.
“Greetings, Daoist Priest Bird Heron!”
