Chapter 250
The Snow Corpse looked gratified by Hua Jiunan’s words.
“One family. Together!”
He slowly turned, sweeping his gaze across every face.
Finally, his eyes settled on Chen Daji.
The Snow Corpse bent down and embraced Chen Daji as though holding a child.
His coarse, rasping voice overflowed with approval.
“Stay alive!”
In an instant, tears flooded Chen Daji’s eyes.
“I’m not leaving! I’m joining you for the trial called Challenging the Ghost King!”
“I’m Grandma’s grandson too. We’re all one family, so why should I leave?!”
Seeing Chen Daji’s resolve, Hua Jiunan shook his head with a bitter smile.
Then he walked toward him one step at a time.
Chen Daji hurriedly retreated.
“Boss, don’t come any closer!”
“Don’t even think about knocking me out again!”
“I’m telling you, even if you knock me unconscious and make Eighth Master carry me back, the second I wake up, I’ll drink pesticide, cut my throat, or hang myself!”
With Chen Daji seeing through his intentions, Hua Jiunan could only turn his gaze to Eighth Master Chang and Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei chuckled.
“Don’t say anything, Boss. I’ve only got one question: we’re both your brothers, so how am I any worse than Little Chicken?!!!”
“When it comes to fighting, he can’t even beat me!”
Eighth Master Chang was clearly dispirited. His great head drooped as he muttered,
“Big Brother, I definitely won’t make it back.”
“After I die, I’ll visit you in your dreams. You’ve got to remember to help me give that giant toad on Donggou Mountain one hell of a beating.”
“Ah, if I worked a little harder, I might have beaten it myself. Looks like I’ll never get the chance now…”
Li Guang gazed at the group with the deepest admiration in his eyes.
“Good, good, good! A true man treasures loyalty and makes light of life and death!”
Then he looked toward the Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits standing proudly behind him, his eyes filled with pride.
At the sight, the Ghost Elder was just about to speak when a red-haired Ghost King over ten feet tall suddenly appeared.
Without so much as glancing at anyone else, he respectfully knelt before the Ghost Elder.
“Your Eminence, a host of one hundred thousand evil ghosts who escaped from the Great Wailing Hell has split into four forces and is storming Two Realms Mountain!”
“We have divided our forces to intercept them, but fear some may slip through…”
Hua Jiunan and the others were shocked. Only the Ghost Elder remained as unhurried as ever.
He seemed to try to straighten his hunched body, but failed after several attempts.
“Ah, why go to such lengths? Is it not good to be alive?”
With that sigh, the Ghost Elder vanished into thin air.
“Please wait a moment, honored guests. This little old man will return shortly.”
At that moment, battle cries suddenly rang out in the distance.
Li Guang looked gravely at Chen Daji and quietly instructed him,
“Good Brother, wait here. Your elder brother will return shortly!”
He immediately mounted his horse and shouted,
“Madmen are disrupting the order of the Three Realms! My sons, follow this general and slay the enemy!”
The Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits struck their breastplates with their weapons and answered as one.
“Kill!”
A thoughtful look crossed the Snow Corpse’s savage face. Only after a moment did he make his decision.
With utmost care, he gently placed the Female Corpse from his shoulder before Hua Jiunan.
“Protect your mother. I will go kill!”
One group after another departed. Even the evil ghosts endlessly climbing the mountain of blades and the Ghost Soldiers guarding them disappeared.
Two Realms Mountain, moments ago so “lively,” instantly fell silent.
Hua Jiunan and the others stared at the empty passage, then looked at one another.
Chen Daji asked timidly,
“Boss, w-what’s going on?”
“If we return to the mortal realm now, is there nobody left to stop us?!!!”
Eighth Master Chang froze, then immediately wrapped his great tail around the frozen Female Corpse and gently placed her on his back.
“Young master physician, the little bastard is right!”
“Let’s hurry and run while we’ve got the chance!”
Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Hua Jiunan hesitated deeply.
Would sneaking back to the mortal realm like this compromise his virtue…?
