Chapter 526.
After the Duo Demon Underworld King’s Scourge died a few unlucky people who were still able to struggle.
The entire battlefield was then no longer silent.
Ghost Three led the Heartless Ghost Mansion’s subordinates and showed up to clean up the mess.
Jiang Ran and the others entered the Heartless Ghost Mansion along with the Heartless Mansion Master.
The Heartless Ghost Mansion and the Ghost King Palace were very different.
Although the Ghost King Palace was located in the wilderness, it had established a town, using formations as a cover to block the vision of pedestrians.
It was quiet in the midst of the earthly world.
Although the Heartless Ghost Mansion referred to itself as a ‘mansion’, after stepping into the gatehouse, not many buildings floating on the surface were actually visible.
This place is treacherous and changeable, the terrain is complex step by step, as if it is a natural formation, and there is only one entrance.
The people within the mansion built buildings to live in the various nooks and crannies that could not be observed by the onlookers.
The Heartless Mansion Master arranged for manpower to guard the only entrance, not allowing anyone in the mansion to escape.
It seemed loose, but in reality, it was an extremely secretive prison.
Of course, Jiang Ran followed the Heartless Mansion Master in, so naturally, it was smooth sailing all the way.
Just occasionally looking up, he was able to see that halfway up the mountain, there were people looking from afar, turning back from time to time, and there was also sight in the depths of the pool, all of which were the gang of demons and devils within the mansion.
Ye Jingshang and Ye Jingxue both walked along the way, their moods were quite heavy.
Although the gang that destroyed the Red Maple Leaf family back then, had already given their heads.
But the thought that they were trapped from here, and then broke into the Ye family to kill, the heart of the two sisters, naturally, could not help but have a few more flavors.
Although it is not so bad as to be angry, it is not too good either.
Heartless Mansion Master led the crowd all the way to the deepest part before a grass hut.
Jiang Ran skimmed and laughed:
“It’s a bit thrifty yet.”
“Can’t compare to the Devil Sect’s big family …… nooks and crannies, deep in the mountains and old forests, isolated in a corner, naturally a bit shabby.”
When Heartless Mistress spoke here, she suddenly frowned slightly, her figure softening a bit.
Jiang Ran was the closest to her, casually assisting her, allowing her to stabilize her form, his fingers laced on his wrist, and immediately nodded:
“The chemical power dispersal has entered the lungs and bowels of the …… accumulation of destruction and destruction of the bones, the accumulation of weight is difficult to return ah.”
Heartless Mansion Lord laughed dumbly:
“I didn’t expect this generation of demonic father, but there is a remarkable medical skill.
“With a rebel at his side, I’ve made the Demon Lord laugh.”
“It’s not that …… it’s just that my honored father wondered if something happened to the house lord and it spread out, would it still be able to deter those lonely souls?”
Jiang Ran casually said while holding her forward:
“There is another.
“Has it ever occurred to the Prefecture Master that the Yin Wind Valley is far away in the Zhaoku Kingdom, and came all the way to my Golden Cicada, easily finding the Heartless Ghost Mansion that no one in the world knows about.
“And was able to turn the people around you, so that you have been hit by the poison of this chemical power dissipation.
“Is this thing …… really reasonable?”
“Behind all unreasonableness there is inevitably a reasonable thread.”
Heartless Prefecture Lord reached out and pushed open the portal, luring Jiang Ran and the others inside, allowing Jiang Ran to assist herself to the bed, she reluctantly sat down, before saying:
“Shaozun is skeptical …… of what Jun is doing?”
“Since the creation of the Heartless Ghost Mansion, whether or not it has been breached and found by others, this honored one does not know.
“But for a hundred years, probably only Jun Hejia knows exactly where this Heartless Ghost Mansion of yours is.
“This person plotted the world rivers and lakes, the battle between Zhaosuo and Li Guo, it is not possible to say that it is from this person’s hand.
“His people across the five countries, each other collusion words, may not be unable to launch today’s game.”
“But what is his purpose?”
The Heartless Mansion Lord shook his head slightly:
“At the time of the greatest crisis, this Lord was severely injured, and if he hadn’t encountered this Miss Xue’er beside you, I’m afraid that he would have already died.
“The corpses were all blown into dry corpses by the wind.
“That would be, the Heartless Ghost Mansion is out of control, no one is in this.
“Jun He Ya no matter what …… he wants he will be able to get it.
“Why bother with more.
“Except ……”
She glanced at Jiang Ran as she said this.
“The Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide?”
Jiang Ran asked softly.
The Heartless Mansion Master said after a moment of silence:
“I’m afraid that the Demon Lord still doesn’t know why this Heavenly Demon Treasure Almanac has appeared in my Heartless Ghost Mansion, right?”
“The Demon Lord from a hundred years ago, entrusted this item to you?”
Jiang Ran asked casually.
“Is this a guess? Demon honors can know …… if there is no evidence, this is a wild guess, but if you guess wrong, but there is a loss of status.”
A light smile spread across the corners of the Heartless Prefecture Lord’s mouth.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“Indeed, it’s an unsupported guess.
“However, considering that the Prefecture Lord is in such a hurry and wants to return this item to me, I do think that this guess might be quite reasonable.
“In addition, Mistress of the House has misunderstood.
“When has this Prefecture Mistress ever respected her identity?”
The Heartless Mansion Lord froze, then laughed:
“That’s right …… the Demon Sect acts as you should.”
Speaking here, she pondered for a moment before speaking:
“You’re right, a hundred years ago that demonic father, is indeed at a critical moment, entrusted the most trustworthy people around, will be given to the Heartless Ghost House.
“Does the demonic father know that your demonic sect is, in fact, quite interesting.
“Although it is not tolerated by the world, every time an era rises, there will be some people who are on good terms with you.
“For example, in Jiang Tianye’s time, he was close to the people of the Flute Clan.
“When it came to you, it was hooking up with the Golden Cicada Royal Family.
“Besides, a hundred years ago, and your demonic religion and friendship is relatively good, is my heartless ghost house.
“Only, at that time, and your demonic religion and good friendship, in fact, only the House Lord a person.
“Moreover, looking at the world, no one knows the relationship between them ……”
“What kind of relationship?”
“Lovers …… If not for the changes in the world, there are many things that are beyond human power to distort.
“Perhaps they would still be husband and wife.”
Jiang Ran drifted off, but was soon dumbfounded.
He only felt that things under the sky were always tied up with these love affairs.
Can’t you just have a career and not a woman?
But on second thought …… as the saying goes, food and color, this is human nature, it is really reasonable.
“Is it because Chu Nanfeng broke the general altar of the devil religion?”
Jiang Ran obediently gossiped.
“It’s not …… because the husband of the head of the house does not agree.”
“???”
Jiang Ran was baffled, what the hell?
Only when he waited to see the heartless Prefecture Lord’s face of urgency did he realize that this was a joke.
For a moment there was also a bit of crying and laughing:
“Earlier, I had heard of the Mansion Lord’s deeds, and I was considered to be astonished,” he said.
“Nowadays, it seems that it is a bit early to be astonished.”
“Are people, where to come to the celestial, as if you are so …… you martial arts skills cover the world, far above this gentleman, perhaps looking at the jianghu, no one has been able to fight with you.
“But you do not also still have to eat and drink, shit and piss, or have to marry and have children.
“People, after all, are not immortals.”
The Heartless Mansion Lord said this with a rather emotional look, and then said:
“Alright, that’s enough gossip, you asked this Monarch what happened back then.
“How could this Monarch know?
“The things of elders are never secretive.
“Will not tell you easily ……
“This Monarch knows that the purpose of your visit is also the Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide, otherwise, you wouldn’t have rushed here immediately after Ghost 13 invited you.
“Normally speaking, back then, the Demon Sovereign entrusted this item to the Heartless Ghost House, and the division also had a reprimand passed down that he would definitely return this item to the Demon Sect in the future.
“Only now it seems that this monarch cannot help but ask the Demon Lord to do a favor before he is able to give this Heavenly Devil’s Treasure to the Devil Cult, handing it over to the Devil Cult.”
“If I remember correctly, this Monarch has already done you a favor.”
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow:
“Sitting on your hands is not the style of a gentleman.”
“You’re a Demon Cult, I’m a Ghost Mansion, let’s not talk about being a gentleman here.”
The Heartless Mansion Lord waved his hand:
“It is precisely because you have already helped me with one favor, allowing my Heartless Ghost Mansion to be spared, so this second favor, I also hope that you can help all together.
“After all, help someone to the end, send Buddha to the west.”
Jiang Ran glanced at her thoughtfully:
“What favor?”
“Take over the Heartless Ghost Mansion …… or, send all these lonely souls and wild spirits in the Heartless Ghost Mansion to the Ghost King Palace.”
When the Heartless Ghost Mansion Lord said this, she glanced at the Infernal Ghost King.
Then she smiled:
“You are the Infernal Ghost King? I can smell the Infernal Hundred Floating Diagrams from a long distance away.”
“You know about the Infernal Hundred Floating Diagram?”
The Infernal Ghost King glanced at the Heartless Mansion Lord in surprise.
He hadn’t fled this entire journey, not just because he didn’t have a chance to escape in front of Jiang Ran.
Similarly, he was also curious, the Heartless Mansion Lord and himself had never met before, so what was the point of calling himself here when he had nothing else to do?
“Heartless Ghost Mansion, could it be that there is some entanglement with my Ghost King Palace?”
“Entanglement doesn’t count, however, we are actually a family.”
The Heartless Mansion Lord laughed:
“The martial art you cultivate is called Infernal Hundred Floating Diagrams.
“And the martial art that this Lord cultivates, its name is [Infernal Prison Suppression Diagram].
“These two martial arts, if you trace the origin, it should be hundreds of years ago, when the world was still Heartless Ghost Mansion as well as Ghost King Palace.
“At that time, there were three people who came to a place.
“And in that place, they found a pair of [Infernal Painting].
“This picture is profound, three people saw this infernal painting, then completely fell into silence.
“For seven days and seven nights, in addition to eating and drinking, they were all watching this picture.
“In the end, these three men each comprehended a set of martial arts.
“Two of them are what you and I have practiced, the Infernal Hundred Floating Diagram and the Infernal Prison Suppression Diagram.”
“What about the third one?”
Jiang Ran didn’t wait for the Infernal Ghost King to open his mouth, so he jumped the gun and asked.
“…… don’t know, but this person is not of the same mind as the ancestors of the two of us.
“Therefore, he traveled far away and founded a sect called …… Yin Feng Valley.”
After the Heartless Mansion Master finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smacked his lips:
“The Endless Heartless Hall Master is actually from the same sect as all of you?
“This Endless Painting surprisingly exported three major powers, it truly is a supreme treasure.”
“It is indeed a supreme treasure.”
The Heartless Mansion Master sneered:
“The three of them parted ways back then because of this.
“Among them, some feel that this Infernal Painting is the most precious treasure, and that everyone in the world should be invited to participate in the study.
“But there are also people who feel that the treasure of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are owned by those who are virtuous.
“It should not be given away so easily.
“Three people argued about this, and finally even fought.
“In the end, the astral winds and internal forces involved destroyed the Infernal Painting accidentally, and only then did the three men call it quits.
“It was also for this reason that that initial master of the Hall of Impermanence, Fang left the Master Ancestor of this Monarch and the Ghost King, and traveled far away from the Zhaoku Kingdom to found the Valley of the Underworld Winds.
“However, these old stories have been passed down to this day, and not many people know about them anymore.
“To the Ghost King’s generation, even though they know that the Ghost King’s Palace exists, they don’t know why it exists and how it came to be.
“It is also really saddening.
“In fact, the initial time there is no Ghost King Palace, there is only one …… ghost house.
“It was co-founded by you and my ancestor.
“Its purpose, is to be those officials can not resist for the wrongdoers, into which, eternal custody, so that it shall not be separated from the ghost house, for the scourge of the earth.
“It’s just that as times change, some things begin to diverge.”
The Hongyuan at the beginning of the Ghost Mansion’s creation was actually very good.
The bad thing was that although these people were collected in the Ghost Mansion, they could not see the light of day again and scourge the jianghu.
But between each other, will also be born feelings, and finally spawned a new life.
Treating these children waiting to be fed, these two grandmasters disagreed.
One believes that the son of a sinner is also a sinner.
They should be watched over and not allowed to relax.
The other agreed that they should not be allowed to leave the Ghost Mansion, but also believed that the children were innocent, and that it was unreasonable to bring them along to suffer just because their parents had problems.
In the beginning, the problem was small, and although they argued with each other, they didn’t tear each other’s faces off.
But slowly, all sorts of problems ensue.
Once the seed of conflict is planted, it will thrive.
Finally, the ghost king palace ancestor left in anger, another door ghost king palace, and the master of the heartless ghost house, in order to show that they do not collude with each other, erase the old favor, so in the ghost house before the addition of the word ‘heartless’.
Both ironic and self-deprecating.
These old stories, the heartless house master casually said, but called the infernal ghost king quite a bit of insight.
The atmosphere within the Ghost King Palace was indeed much more relaxed compared to the Heartless Ghost Mansion.
“Although the ancestors had different philosophies and eventually went their separate ways.
“But …… this time, we invited you here, yet it was not for the sake of a battle of ideas.
“Nor was it initially for the purpose of introducing these demons and devils, into your Ghost King Palace ……
“Rather, because, back then, that demonic father’s face was too big, that year’s House Master for this reason went to the Ghost King’s Palace to beg the then Ghost King to take action, and he together …… will be the Heavenly Demon Treasure, sealed into the Underworld Cave.
“This door opens if it is not allowed, everything in the hole, will be ashes.
“Only the Infernal Hundred Floating Diagram practiced by the Ghost King and the Infernal Prison Suppressing Diagram practiced by this Lord can join forces to open the door of the Underworld Cave and invite the Heavenly Demon Treasure Annals inside out.”
This was also the reason why when the Heartless Mansion Lord spoke of Jun He Ya’s purpose just now, why he had excluded the Heavenly Demon Treasure Annals alone.
Because of this item, even if Jun He Ya had found the Heartless Ghost Mansion and had completely incorporated it into his palm.
They wouldn’t be able to open that door either.
Unless jade and stone were burned together.
“But now …… the medicinal properties of the Harmonizing Power Scatter have become irreversible.”
The Heartless Ghost Mansion Lord’s strength was weakening more and more:
“The only bit of strength left is to join forces with you to open the Underworld Cave.
“But in that case, this Lord will no longer be able to suppress the Heartless Ghost Mansion.
“If the Ghost Mansion is in turmoil, the rivers and lakes are bound to be in turmoil.
“In order to prevent them from causing trouble in the Jianghu, the only way is to ask the Demon Lord to take action and introduce them into the Ghost King’s Palace, to be suppressed by the Ghost King’s jurisdiction.
“The party is the best policy ……
“Therefore, even if I am brazen and sit on the ground, I hope that Demon Lord can do this favor for this king.”
The Infernal Demon King then frowned slightly:
“This king has not agreed ……”
“You don’t agree?”
The Heartless Ghost Lord glanced at him and sighed:
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if you agree or not, as long as the Demon Lord agrees, if you dare to disobey, I will definitely tell you to know the power ……”
“……”
Heartless Ghost King’s face darkened.
Rather, he felt that there really shouldn’t be someone like Jiang Ran in this world.
The martial arts are too high …… He can do whatever he wants to do, and when he lets others do whatever they want to do, they don’t dare to resist.
This day simply can not live.
The Infernal Ghost King simply did not say a word and found a corner to squat and sulk.
Jiang Ran, however, shook his head and smiled:
“This Prefecture Lord thought it was because of something, but it turns out it’s just because of this?
“Mansion Lord, may not have underestimated this honored one.
“The district is just …… why make such a big deal out of transforming power scattering?”
“District ……”
The Heartless Mansion Lord froze:
“What do you mean by that?”
“Nothing much.”
Jiang Ran took a step forward, probed his hand to take Heartless Prefecture Lord’s wrist, and with a backhanded snap, followed by a silver needle appearing between his two fingers, and with a casual press, he sent this silver needle into the Extreme Spring Point in Heartless Prefecture Lord’s armpit.
Heartless Prefect’s brows slightly furrowed, also did not resist, letting Jiang Ran do his work.
Jiang Ran was not polite either, pulling with his hand, and then striking one after another, the silver needles landed one by one on the Heartless Prefect’s body.
The Mansion Master looked up with an open mind:
“You are …… these acupuncture points are to keep my meridians from being damaged? What are you trying to do?”
“If Harmonization Scatter is water, internal force is fire.
“Water can extinguish fire, and fire can extinguish water.
“In fact, when you were initially just poisoned, you could have completely melted away the toxicity of the Hua Gong San, but unfortunately, there should have been some kind of delay at that time, making it difficult to tell you to do as you wished.
“That’s why it has accumulated to this extent.
“If this honored one wants to help you detoxify this Hua Gong San, he needs to use his supreme inner strength and pour it into your body.
“However, when water and fire collide, the meridians are bound to be damaged, therefore, first protect your meridians …… before making a move.”
He said this, looked at the other people present:
“All of you, go out and protect this honored one.”
The people present nodded at the same time, and even Foamy, although she was unsure, hurriedly nodded her head and followed the crowd out.
The Heartless Prefecture Lord glanced at Jiang Ran:
“What is the need for you to do this? You need to know that the toxicity of Huan Gong San in this monarch’s body is already deep now, even if you have hundreds of years of internal strength in your body and form monstrous waves, it will be difficult to extinguish this fire in this monarch’s body.”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
“If a hundred years won’t work, then a thousand years …… is just that the Prefecture Lord will only have to suffer a bit.”
As he said that, he casually took out a black cloth in his sleeve and tied it above his eyes.
The Heartless Mansion Lord froze, and the next moment it was a sudden realization:
“So that’s why …… you’re so well prepared for this?”
“…… This is not prepared for you, there is no way, who let me side, there is also a daily let me wear this thing to her healing girl.”
At this point in the conversation, he mobilized his internal energy with one hand and slowly pressed on the back of the Heartless Mansion Lord.
Hula sound, Heartless Prefecture Lord robes bulging, followed by snorting …… cracking sound, resounding throughout the room!
