Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018 Ying Aoshan Emerges from Retreat Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018 Ying Aoshan Emerges from Retreat With the seals of the ten most ferocious places in Huaxia successively shattering, a plethora of ghost kings have emerged, inevitably stirring a bloody storm throughout the lands.

However, Huang Xiaolong had no desire to personally subdue these ghost kings. After all, he had plans to venture overseas, to that vast and magnificent world, to forge his way through.

In comparison to the overseas realms, Zhongtu is like a small pond.

Certain ghost kings are like the small fish and shrimp in this pond; subduing one or two occasionally can be quite amusing, but for Huang Xiaolong to personally take on the task of eliminating all the ghost kings that had escaped their seals would be somewhat lackluster.

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong prepared to delegate this task to Du Shiniang.

“Yes! My lord, Shiniang obeys!” Du Shiniang replied respectfully.

“Hmm~~ Du Shiniang, although you are also a ghost king, your combat strength and experience may not match those of the ghost kings that have escaped their seals, so I shall gift you a treasure to aid you!” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze flashed.

Boom~~~!!!

The eerie Thousand Souls Banner was conjured by Huang Xiaolong.

As soon as the Thousand Souls Banner appeared, myriad emaciated ghostly hands reached out, grasping all the lonely spirits and wandering ghosts within this burial ground into the banner.

This Thousand Souls Banner had refined countless fierce ghosts within it, including an innumerable number of Dongying ghosts, such as the wicked entity Sadako from the mountain village; thus, its power was immense.

Even in the face of the Thousand Souls Banner, ghost kings like Li Xianhui and Du Shiniang felt waves of palpitations and terror, fearful of being consumed by it.

“Princess Li Xianhui of the Tang Dynasty, listen up. Now, I shall refine you into the Thousand Souls Banner to become the ‘prime spirit’ that presides over it. You are more familiar than I am with the ten most ferocious places of Huaxia and the ghost kings that have escaped. Follow Du Shiniang and subdue these ghost kings, and refine them all into the Thousand Souls Banner,” Huang Xiaolong commanded in a deep voice. “Hereafter, you and Du Shiniang will maintain the order of the yin and yang realms of the entire Huaxia. The ghost king of Binhai City’s City God Temple, Ying Kexin, can also lend you assistance~~~”
“Young Master, are you leaving Huaxia?” Du Shiniang discerned Huang Xiaolong’s intent from his words.

“Hmm~~” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “I am preparing to visit the overseas cultivators’ world to take a look.”

“My lord~~” Li Xianhui’s eyes flickered with contemplation, but she quickly made up her mind. “Very well, my lord, I am willing to be refined by you into the Thousand Souls Banner as the prime spirit. From this day forward, I shall sweep away the ghosts of Huaxia!”

Li Xianhui was now like a fish on the chopping board, not daring to resist at all, for fear that even half a word of rejection could result in obliteration.

Besides, presiding over an extremely powerful magic treasure was also not a bad outcome.

“Good! When I return from overseas, I shall confer titles upon you both!” Huang Xiaolong made a promise.

The next second, thousands of ghostly hands within the Thousand Souls Banner reached straight for Li Xianhui, who was immobilized by a binding curse high in the air.

Ghost King Li Xianhui did not struggle at all, allowing those ghostly hands to grasp her body and pull her into the Thousand Souls Banner.

Refinement!

During the process of refinement, Huang Xiaolong also brought forth some ghostly qi from the underworld, infusing it directly into the Thousand Souls Banner to enhance its quality and making Li Xianhui the prime spirit of the banner.

Before long, within the Thousand Souls Banner, powers were being nurtured, as if a peerless malevolent being was about to emerge!

Finally!

Boom rumble~~!

A loud explosion sounded.

The Thousand Souls Banner burst forth with a cloud of ghost qi, and after the ghost qi dissipated, the Thousand Souls Banner transformed into–the figure of a woman!

It was the likeness of Li Xianhui!

Only now, Li Xianhui wore an ancient-style blood robe, her eyes turned a blood red, and there was a tattoo on her brow, in the shape of the Thousand Souls Banner.

Melodious music echoed behind her.

As the prime spirit of the Thousand Souls Banner, Li Xianhui now perfectly controlled the magic treasure, able to morph it into her image.

It could be said that she and the treasure had become one.

“My Lord~~,” Li Xianhui hurriedly knelt down before Huang Xiaolong. By now, she had learned of Huang Xiaolong’s true identity, and the reverence and submission she felt toward him were naturally beyond words and genuinely heartfelt.

“I have taken the ghostly qi from the underworld and refined the Soul Banner. Now, you are the Soul Banner, and the Soul Banner is you. Even a Ghost Immortal would be no match for you!” Huang Xiaolong said solemnly.

“My Lord! I am willing to give my all to support Du Shiniang in subduing all the Ghost Kings that have escaped after breaking the seals of the ten deadly lands,” Li Xianhui said sincerely.

“My Lord, Shiniang wishes to eliminate those Ghost Kings whose resentments reach the skies!” Du Shiniang and her sisters also quickly knelt down.

“Good, Du Shiniang, take the Soul Banner with you,” Huang Xiaolong waved his hand.

As soon as his voice fell, Li Xianhui soared into the air, her body spinning several times in midair, stirring up gusts of ghostly wind, and eventually transformed into the Soul Banner, falling into Du Shiniang’s hands.

With the Soul Banner in hand, Du Shiniang said to the ghostly girls in purple behind her, “Sisters, let’s go!”

“Go ahead~~,” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Then, Du Shiniang, holding the Soul Banner, led her sisters away as streaks of ghostly qi, disappearing into the night sky.

“Huh~~,” Huang Xiaolong sighed in relief, “This time, I can finally enjoy some peace and quiet. Alright, time to get ready. I should also go and venture overseas.”

Before leaving, Huang Xiaolong burned several talismans to disperse the ghostly and evil qi from the people who had fainted in the graveyard.

…

He returned to the hotel.

And continued to sleep.

The next day, three little demons found Huang Xiaolong.

“Hehe, Young Master, where did you go last night? Did you go have a good time with that female ghost?” Xiaohong asked bluntly.

“Hehe, indeed,” Huang Xiaolong nodded in agreement.

“No way! Young Master, you…” Qingqing was dumbstruck, “Huh~~ Young Master, you can’t resist even a female ghost, but you won’t pamper us. We demons are at least better than ghosts, aren’t we~~?”

Heimei also wore a look of grievance.

“Enough, don’t think too much. The business here is done, and now we’ll head back to Wo Long Mountain Villa.” At that moment, Huang Xiaolong felt rather eager to return home.

“Yeah!” The three little demons cried out in unison.

“Young Master, are you planning to go overseas? That sounds like so much fun! We want to come too!” The three little demons clapped their hands excitedly.

Just then,
Huang Xiaolong’s phone began to ring.

Looking at the caller ID, it was actually Ying Aoshan calling!

It should be noted that since they returned from the Kunlun secret realm, the ten ancient martial houses of Huaxia had gained the ancient martial heritage of Kunlun, and thus were in secluded cultivation.

The Ying Family, in order to maintain their competitiveness, had their clan members in seclusion at their ancestral grounds, training arduously.

Huang Xiaolong’s wife, Ying Aoshan, as well as the Lin Family’s young master, Lin Zicong, and others, were all in closed-door cultivation.

Ying Aoshan’s call meant she had emerged from closed-door cultivation.

Huang Xiaolong, with a heart full of passion, answered the call, eager to hear from his wife Aoshan.

True to his intuition, the moment he answered, he heard Ying Aoshan’s voice, full of longing — “Little Long! Little Long! I’ve finished my cultivation!”
