Chapter 567: Chapter 233: Farewell Li Ling’er, The Fearful Sky Cloud Ghost King! _2

Li Ling’er’s expression was like that of a child who had done something wrong.

If she had known how powerful this pharmacopoeia was, she would never have accepted it.

Hearing what Li Ling’er said, Chen Chang’an shook his head, "Never mind, this book is useless to me. I can’t bring out its potential, so it’s much better to keep it with you."

"You’re able to bring out its benefits. I believe if the divine book has a spirit, it would also follow you."

"After all, it’s a gift I gave you. Once it’s been given, there’s no reason to take it back. So, keep it with peace of mind, no need to feel burdened."

"If you really feel guilty, use this book to do more for the people in this world."

"Can I really keep it?"

"Thank you, Li Bai!"

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Li Ling’er’s face broke into a joyful smile. She loved researching pharmacology most in her life. Despite knowing that this might not be right, if Chen Chang’an really took the book back, she would still feel a bit lost.

She didn’t care about advancing her cultivation with the help of the pharmacopoeia, what interested her most were the principles, that had caught the essence of the Great Dao, present in the pharmacopoeia.

Every time she learned about these medical principles, she felt an unprecedented sense of joy.

However, as the pharmacopoeia began to exhibit more frightening features, she started to worry.

She feared that one day in the future, Chen Chang’an might take the pharmacopoeia back.

Now, when she heard the affirmatives from Chen Chang’an, all her doubts disappeared.

"Thank you, Li Bai!"

Then, Li Ling’er turned her gaze to the old man standing beside them:

"Right, Li Bai, do you have something to say to Uncle Yun?"

"I don’t know why you wanted me to take Uncle Yun in initially, I feel Uncle Yun is extremely powerful!"

"You don’t know it, but one day we were robbed on the road, and Uncle Yun defeated them all with just one palm. The next day, those thugs were wiped out along with their lair. It was horrifying."

The old man was none other than the Heavenly Cloud Ghost King, whom Chen Chang’an had previously asked to protect Li Ling’er.

But what Li Ling’er didn’t know was that at this moment, the heart of the Heavenly Cloud Ghost King was already trembling.

If he wasn’t maintaining his calm on the surface, he probably would have been kneeling now.

The Heavenly Cloud Ghost King really wanted to kneel down because he seemed to have discovered an incredible secret.

Emperor Song, it was actually him! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

How could these two people, be the same person?!

But, it really happened!

He didn’t mishear it, when Liang Renxing introduced him just now, he called the young man Mr. Chen!

How many young men in the world could be known as Mr. Chen, if not the one from the Tianshui Sect!

The true identity of Emperor Song turned out to be him?!

Oh my God, why did I have to learn this secret!

The Heavenly Cloud Ghost King was genuinely trembling, since his debut, his identity has been a mystery in the infinite realm!

No one ever knew!

But now, he knew!

What should he do? What to do?

He would probably be silenced, right?!

"Hmm, perfect. I do have something to talk to Uncle Yun about."

"You both wait here, we’ll be back soon."

Hearing Li Ling’er’s words, Chen Chang’an glanced at the nearly collapsed Heavenly Cloud Ghost King; his gaze was calm, showing no particular emotion.

But this single glance made the Heavenly Cloud Ghost King tremble more.

He stuttered, "Ye...Yes, Miss Ling, I...ah, not Mr...Yes, Mr. Chen and I need to discuss something, please wait here."

Then, led by the Heavenly Cloud Ghost King and followed by Chen Chang’an, they walked into a narrow alley.

Bang~!

"Please spare me, sir, I didn’t do it on purpose!"

The moment they entered the alley, the Heavenly Cloud Ghost King immediately turned around and knelt down in front of Chen Chang’an, with manifest terror covering his face to the extreme.

"Get up, you’ve done nothing wrong," Chen Chang’an said lightly.

"Sir, I..." Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, the Heavenly Cloud Ghost King wanted to say something more, but the very next moment he stood up.

Even though they knew it was inappropriate to stand at this moment, who dared to defy his command!

"You’ve done very well," Chen Chang’an said.

"My lord, I dare not take merit for this. I beg for my life." The Tianshui Ghost King was near to tears. If he hadn’t heard Chen Chang’an’s true identity, he might have asked for some credits, but now everything was different. Knowing Chen Chang’an’s true identity, how could he not die!

"Spare your life? I don’t want to say it a second time!"

Chen Chang’an snorted, seemingly dissatisfied with the Tianshui Ghost King’s plea for mercy.

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz~!

In the next moment, he waved his hand, and a luminescent orb emitting a nebulous aura suddenly appeared beside the Tianshui Ghost King.

"Take it."

The orb Chen Chang’an gave wasn’t just anything but a Dao Source Demonic Marrow, a higher grade Dao Source Stone.

For demonic cultivators like Tianshui Ghost King, Dao Source Demonic Marrow was their lifeline.

With these Dao Source Demonic Marrows, Tianshui Ghost King was confident he could cultivate up to the Realm of Seventh Heavenly Demon!

"I reward and punish clearly. This is your reward!"

"Stay by the young girl’s side in the time to come."

"Once she attains enlightenment, you may leave at will."

"At that time, I will reserve a position for you in the Six Daos of Hades. Make sure to report in!"

Chen Chang’an’s tone was strikingly cold, yet filled with unchallengeable determination.

The fact that the Tianshui Ghost King knew his identity was indeed unexpected. If this happened in the past, Chen Chang’an would definitely kill him.

But now it’s no longer necessary. With his current strength, there was no need to hide his dual identity!

Of course, more importantly, Chen Chang’an reckoned that the Tianshui Ghost King didn’t have the guts to spill the beans.

If he dared to, he would be killed on the spot!

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"Rest assured, my lord, I swear to protect Miss Ling’er with my life!"

Upon hearing that Chen Chang’an would not kill him, Tianshui Ghost King immediately responded excitedly by nodding his head.

Sometimes, he truly despised himself for having ears!

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz~!

Suddenly, while he was still kneeling, Tianshui Ghost King performed a few spells on himself. He pointed twice under his jaw, casting a forbidding spell!

The contents of the spell were simple, he will never be able to reveal Chen Chang’an’s identity as Emperor Song. Even a single thought would cause him to die explosively!

What a wise man!

Seeing this, Chen Chang’an did not comment.

Although it seemed as though Tianshui Ghost King was hurting himself, wasn’t it also a form of self-protection?

"Alright, take these things and go, don’t make any blunders."

Finally, Chen Chang’an spoke.

"Yes, my lord." Tianshui Ghost King hastily showed his gratitude.

This time, apart from the fear Chen Chang’an instilled in him, he had also provided him with many valuable things.

Firstly, the Dao Source Demonic Marrows, if he had to amass these resources himself, he wouldn’t be able to do so in his lifetime.

Next was a position within the Six Daos of Hades!

In the current Song Emperor’s palace, the positions within the Six Daos of Hades were the rarest. It was said to be the place the Hall Master, Emperor Song, planned to develop.

Every position in there required passing through rigorous selection. Ordinary people without a background could not enter!

And now he was promised a position, this was a great blessing!

Once he secured a position within the Six Daos of Hades, the Tianshui Ghost King’s clan would gain a more prominent standing.

No longer peripheral staff, but official members of the great faction!

This was an enormous opportunity!

While excited, Tianshui Ghost King was also startled.

He wondered what kind of identity Ling’er had to earn such protection from his Lord.

Must be careful, must be careful!
