Chapter 1016: I, young master, want you to vanish into thin air! Chapter 1016: I, young master, want you to vanish into thin air! At the moment this woman–ghost–appeared, Huang Xiaolong had already woken up. He could not be deceived by the ghostly aura emanating from her, being the grand Yin Emperor himself.

However, Huang Xiaolong discovered that what had entered the hotel to look for him was merely… a wisp of ghostly aura!

Uh, this so-called ghostly aura was just like a thread of spiritual awareness from Master Zhang, and not its true form. This wisp of ghostly aura was indeed somewhat weak. Probably equivalent to a yellow-dressed fierce ghost!

“Hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong feigned waking and opened his eyes. He saw the enthralling female ghost staring at him and laughing. Her laugh was peculiarly eerie, and Huang Xiaolong could not mistake that face–it was the same one he had seen in his drink during supper tonight.

“My lord~~” The female ghost giggled at Huang Xiaolong, a few strands of bewitching smiles emerging on her lips, her eyes seeming to contain a teasing light…
‘Hehe~~ using bewitching techniques on me? Tsk tsk, my Fox Spirit Xiaohong’s bewitching techniques are far more formidable than yours. Even she can’t handle me, let alone this ghostly incarnation? Too green in practice!’ Huang Xiaolong thought, his disdain reaching its peak.

But since this was just a ghostly incarnation and not the true form, Huang Xiaolong did not want to startle the snake. To kill, he needed to eliminate this ghostly incarnation’s true form to eradicate it completely.

This ghost’s true form was adept at hiding and was extremely cunning, which left Huang Xiaolong no choice but to play along with this ghostly incarnation.

“Who are you?” Huang Xiaolong feigned an astonished expression.

“Giggle, giggle~~~” The ghostly incarnation laughed uncontrollably. “My lord, I am your destined partner. My lord, why not follow me to my humble abode and enjoy riches and honors~~~”
“What riches and honors?” Huang Xiaolong asked, squinting his eyes.

“Giggle, giggle~~~ My lord, that would be exotic delicacies, fine wines, and also~~ the pleasures of gentle company!” The ghostly incarnation, acting like an ancient brothel woman, coquettishly pulled at Huang Xiaolong.

A wave of disgust surged in Huang Xiaolong’s heart. He voluntarily rolled off the bed and laughed jokingly. “Alright, I’ll follow you~~”
The ghostly incarnation giggled repeatedly, her eyes flashing a mix of resentment and mockery, as she clung to Huang Xiaolong’s arm and they headed for the door.

Upon opening the door!

Huang Xiaolong felt a burst of brightness before his eyes!

Tsk tsk, outside was a scene of spring in full bloom, mountains clear and waters pristine, birds chirping and flowers fragrant!

Beneath their feet was a path surrounded by clusters of flowers, leading through the mountains.

“My lord~~ please.” The ghostly incarnation giggled.

Huang Xiaolong inhaled deeply, his nostrils filled with a rich fragrance.

‘This illusionary technique is indeed wonderfully vivid and lifelike~~’ Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly.

Yes, everything he saw was just an illusion created by the ghostly incarnation, or rather, by this ghost’s true form.

The illusion was strong. Huang Xiaolong assessed and concluded that even if his wife Chuxia Ma and Huo Bingyan were here, they would be deceived by the illusion.

“Let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong, without a change in expression, walked alongside the ghostly incarnation through the heartlifting landscape.

If there were other people present, they would see Huang Xiaolong talking to himself as he left the hotel, appearing extremely bizarre.

Huang Xiaolong was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery created by the ghostly technique. He activated the Heavenly Eye, broke through the illusion, and saw himself leaving the hotel, gradually making his way out of the city directly to the sparsely populated suburbs.

Along the way, Huang Xiaolong also saw people all around the city talking to themselves, seemingly like mental patients, coming from all directions. They were unable to see each other, their faces filled with soul-ensnaring and greedy smiles. In the center of their foreheads, slight cracks appeared.

‘It seems that not a few people today have drunk the soul-capturing water.’ Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly. ‘These people are close to death! But fortunately, they met me~~!’
After walking for over an hour, they finally reached a desolate mountain ridge along with hundreds of others.

Many tombs stood in rows.

Ghastly green phosphorescence floated like fireflies.

Around the tombs, lonely ghosts peered around, smiling miserably, their faces full of schadenfreude and greedy sneers.

This was a terrifying burial ground!

All of this was witnessed by Huang Xiaolong.

Moreover, in the sky above the cemetery, malevolent energy gathered like dark clouds over the desolate mountains.

However, in the eyes of others, the cemetery had transformed into a grand and glorious palace.

The ground was covered with a crimson mat. Pink lanterns hung everywhere, their soft, warm candlelight enchanting to behold.

Lone wandering ghosts leapt out from the graves, flitting around, emitting dismal, eerie laughter. But to them, it appeared as if beautiful ladies in palace dresses were flirting and posturing.

“My lord~~please sit down!”

Countless ghostly figures let out a bell-like laughter at once.

Those who had drunk the soul-capturing water rushed towards the graveyard en masse, each taking a seat next to a grave mound.

Huang Xiaolong looked up at the night sky, where the gathering resentful spirits exuded a faint, oppressive aura.

‘The ghost sealed in the stone arch bridge is about to show itself! Good, I’ve been waiting for you!’
With deliberate slowness, Huang Xiaolong sat down by a grave, his expression showing a sober lucidity in a world drunk in delusion, a clarity untainted by the world’s filth.

The ghostly figures giggled, “Bring the wine and dishes for the lord.”

Suddenly, the air in the graveyard carried wafts of nauseating odor, but those who drank the soul-capturing water smelled the rich, irresistible aroma of fine wine and delicious food, feeling bouts of warmth and somewhat floated off their feet.

Then, lone wandering ghosts came out holding broken pots and shattered dishes, prompting Huang Xiaolong to frown with just one glance.

In those pots and dishes were dead rats, dead bats, earthworms, skull heads, and even cremated ashes!

Lone wandering ghosts placed the broken pots and shattered dishes in front of those who had drunk the soul-capturing water.

A broken cauldron was placed before Huang Xiaolong, containing corpse water soaking a grotesque pale skull, the surface of the water also floated several dead rats.

“My lord, please~~”
Each ghost had a single person to look after.

Those who had drunk the soul-capturing water eagerly grabbed the disgusting items before them–dead rats, dead bats, earthworms, dung beetles–all impatient to stuff them into their mouths.

The scene was disgustingly repulsive.

The lone wandering ghosts, on the other hand, laughed so hard they bent backward in fits.

“My lord, please enjoy~~” The ghost attending Huang Xiaolong urged him as he remained seated motionless.

“Hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “Enjoy what? What do you want me to enjoy?”

“My lord, this bird’s nest porridge is excellent, I personally prepared it~~” the ghost cooed.

Meanwhile, high above the graveyard, a woman’s figure began to form amidst the ominous cloud-like resentful spirits.

This figure exuded authority and churned with a terrifying ghostly aura!

It had an oppressive presence that commanded submission from thousands of ghosts!

Ghost King!

King of all ghosts!

This was indeed the aura of the Ghost King!

“You have finally come~~ Aha.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, then suddenly pulled a talisman from his bosom and slapped it onto the forehead of the attendant ghost.

“Ah~~~!!!!!”

That ghost figure was instantly engulfed in hissing vapors, let out a heart-wrenching scream, thrashing around on the ground, especially its ghostly face, which melted as if splashed with sulfuric acid.

The once noisy graveyard quieted down in an instant, all ghost figures and wandering ghosts stared at Huang Xiaolong with an incredulous, stunned look.

In the sky, the malicious intent of the Ghost King swept down towards Huang Xiaolong overwhelmingly.

With deliberate slowness, Huang Xiaolong stood up, kicked the broken cauldron in front of him away, and looked up at the Ghost King, “Tonight, I came looking for you. Now that you’ve shown yourself, you can no longer escape death. Come down, I will obliterate you!”
