Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 682 - Ghost Race

As he spoke, the Ghost Race expert named Liufeng's eyes burst with a dazzling light, piercing through Elder Ye's body directly.

"Great... my lord... why... why this?"

Elder Ye's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend why the other would suddenly strike to kill at this moment.

"Hmph, lowly and insignificant humans, to actually dream of obtaining the Undying Phoenix's Soul Essence? Daydreaming in broad daylight!"

With a breath of Essence Qi, Elder Ye's body disintegrated into dust, and a red Liu Li bead rolled out.

Afterward, with a great motion of his hand, Lord Liufeng captured the artifact in his grasp.

"My lord, you..."

Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi too were dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, stuttering in their inquiry.

"Was it not long agreed that, once the task was done, the Undying Phoenix's Soul Essence would be delivered to us in return?"

"Indeed, our tribe had made such a promise, and we indeed gifted it to you,"

Liufeng looked sideways at Er Rengu with scorn, continuing to speak.

"But we never agreed on restraining from killing you to take it back, did we?"

"You... you're despicable and shameless!" Both coughed up blood.

Watching from the shadows, Qinchuan thought to himself, "Cooperating with the Ghost Race is but seeking a tiger's skin; they should've anticipated this outcome a long time ago!"

The Ghost Race's cunning and deceitful nature was well-known to all.

Liufeng continued to speak.

"Hmph, that's enough," he said. "Back then, Ye Ming from Netherworld Hall was hunted by the Chou Family with nowhere to escape, not to the heavens nor into the earth. He fled into the Underworld and was saved by our Emperor. Only then did he escape that disaster."

"Your Evil Family and Feng Family were no different. Your ancestor was pursued and had no other choice but to flee from the Divine Realm to the Underworld. It was only the pity of the Emperor that spared your lineages."

"You should be grateful to our lineage!"

Liufeng said this while his gaze toward Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi grew increasingly frosty.

Liufeng, with his Supreme Saint Late Stage cultivation level, made both Er Rengu, who were merely at the Holy Realm Early Stage, tremble in fear.

Although Liufeng's presence was hidden within the black fog, the murderous intent was unmistakable, filling the entire void and transforming into lightning that relentlessly tore space apart.

The two drastically changed their expressions, understanding the thoughts in Liufeng's mind.

"Lord, you... you can't kill us! We have made momentous contributions to the Ghost Race!" Er Rengu said, terrified.

"The three clans have certainly contributed greatly to the opening of Devil Mountain after laying dormant for tens of thousands of years. I should not kill you," Liufeng said indifferently.

"Right, right, we opened Devil Mountain and initiated the Ancient Realm's Four Aspects Law, only then could you open up the passageway to the Underworld. Even if we lack merit, we have certainly endured hardships! Please spare us, Lord!"

At this moment, Feng Hongyi also prostrated himself, his body shaking uncontrollably, desperately pleading for mercy.

Liufeng's tone then changed, "However, the Emperor had already promised to bestow the Undying Phoenix Soul to you as a reward for your service to our clan. Now, if I take the Undying Phoenix Soul without killing you first, I would be breaking that promise."

"No, no, we are willing to relinquish the Undying Phoenix Soul and transfer it to Lord Liufeng!"

Er Rengu was quick-witted and immediately blurted out.

"Is this truly what you wish?" Liufeng inquired sharply, exuding dominating authority.

"Yes, we sincerely wish to transfer it to Lord Liufeng, consider it our filial respect. It won't count as breaking the promise if Lord absorbs the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix!" Feng Hongyi also realized the situation and, sweating profusely, said.

They had initially thought that making a vow had settled everything, but had never expected these creatures of the Ghost Race to act so despicably and shamelessly.

If they had vowed to bestow it upon them, then killing them before they absorbed the Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix would leave the spirit as ownerless property, meaning the Ghost Race would not be breaking the vow, would they?

The Soul Essence of the Undying Phoenix was indeed invaluable, but one also needed to be alive to enjoy it, didn't they?

"Since it's out of filial respect from you, then I will reluctantly accept it!" Liufeng nodded, pleased with the outcome.

Although they now controlled the Ancient Realm, the passageway between Divine Wilderness Continent and the Underworld remained unopened. There might still be uses for the two, so if possible, best not to kill them.

Er Rengu and Feng Hongyi were spared, wiping the big sweat from their foreheads, "Thank you, Lord!"

After dealing with Er Rengu and others, Liufeng then turned his cold gaze to Wu Xin Fairy in the distance and interrogated, "Girl, who are you? Why are you here in the forbidden land of my Ghost Race?"

"Who am I? You disgusting, ugly creature are not worthy of knowing."

Though shrouded in black fog, Wu Xin Fairy could still see through to the true face of these Ghost Race powerhouses, ugly visages that soured her mood, so she replied dismissively.

"Sharp-tongued!" The depths of Liufeng's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

"Lord, this woman is no ordinary person. She knows about the undying phoenix's Soul Essence!" Having just dodged a bullet, Er Rengu couldn't help but try to ingratiate himself with Liufeng and other strong Ghost Race members, saying so.

"Oh?" Liufeng suppressed the anger in his heart, curiously saying, "This Undying Phoenix Soul Essence is a secret even within our clan, not even that traitor Mo Yu knew of it, how do you know?"

Wu Xing Fairy, elegant and with eyes like waves, responded, "I've told you, you're too ugly to deserve any knowledge about me."
