My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 208 - 147: Midnight Falls, the Ghosts Arrive! (Part 2)

Chapter 208: Chapter 147: Midnight Falls, the Ghosts Arrive! (Part 2)

"Others may fear the Guanglan Palace, but I don’t. It’s nothing remarkable." Li Changqing spoke as convincingly as possible to make Li Hengsheng believe him.

"Senior, did my father mention me to you?" Li Hengsheng looked at the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable with some surprise.

"Yes, he did." Li Changqing’s gaze toward Li Hengsheng softened: "He said you’re a filial child. He knows he wronged you before and really wants to make it up to you. So now he’s working hard to earn money, only wanting to give you the best, hoping you won’t hold a grudge against his past mistakes."

With these words, Li Hengsheng’s eyes turned misty.

Although he had long noticed the changes in his father and felt Li Changqing’s love for him through their correspondence, hearing it from someone else’s mouth still had a different flavor.

A complex blend of bitterness and happiness intertwined.

"Don’t worry about him. Just focus on doing what you want. Your father is proud of you. Before I came here, he asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Please tell me, senior." Li Hengsheng’s throat was somewhat choked.

"Your father said that the world might be cold, but his love for you is warm."

After saying that, Li Changqing gently patted Li Hengsheng’s shoulder twice and then left without saying more, fearing that if he said more, he might not be able to control his own emotions.

Even though Li Changqing was transported here, occupying the body of this world’s Li Changqing, he didn’t feel any strangeness toward this son, Li Hengsheng.

He just felt that Li Hengsheng was his own son, his biological son.

That strong feeling caused paternal love to overflow when he faced Li Hengsheng.

It wasn’t just about fulfilling his dream of having a filial son.

Why this was so, Li Changqing wasn’t quite sure, and it didn’t need to be understood.

Li Changqing walked into a nearby pavilion, letting Li Hengsheng have some quiet time alone. He also wanted a moment to calm himself.

Who knew that just as he entered, he’d hear a voice saying, "So the famous Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable is actually Li Changqing, huh? You really managed to fool everyone."

As the voice spoke, a person stepped out from behind a pillar.

It was Li Jingsong.

Li Changqing looked at Li Jingsong and frowned, saying, "Eavesdropping on others is not a good habit."

"Sorry, it wasn’t intentional." Li Jingsong appraised Li Changqing before him and said, "I was mainly curious as to why you stood up for my Dao Mountain disciples, so I only came to one conclusion: you are Li Changqing. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have reacted so strongly when Li Hengsheng was bullied."

Li Changqing did not argue, only responded calmly, "Don’t tell Hengsheng."

"Rest assured, I won’t be a busybody." Li Jingsong shook his head.

"Thanks." Li Changqing nodded, but Li Jingsong said, "I want to ask you about someone."

"Who?" Li Changqing asked curiously.

"Monarch Yuehan of the Yue family." Li Jingsong closely watched Li Changqing’s eyes and asked, "Do you know this person?"

"Monarch Yuehan?" Li Changqing furrowed his brows, then shook his head, "I haven’t heard of him; I don’t know this person."

Li Jingsong kept looking into Li Changqing’s eyes.

He couldn’t detect any anomaly from Li Changqing’s eyes; it seemed Li Changqing was truly unfamiliar with this name.

"It’s nothing then." After saying this, Li Jingsong turned and left.

A cold wind blew.

Li Jingsong walked to a broken wall, gazing out at the world: "Maybe I really have mistaken him, Li Changqing and Monarch Yuehan have no relation."

After dinner, the entire Heaven-Flipping Ghost City quieted down again.

Everyone was quietly waiting for midnight to come.

They were adjusting their states.

Li Hengsheng was polishing his Immortal-Extinguishing Spear, pondering over the words the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable had spoken to him at dusk. Li Hengsheng felt his long-empty heart gradually filling up.

Once, he felt he had nothing.

But now, in his heart, there were two people who meant the most to him in life.

One was his father, the other was Lu Qiaoqiao.

Though he didn’t know how it was done, before setting off from the Mountain Ancient Land, Li Hengsheng received a letter from Lu Qiaoqiao, with words expressing longing and reassuring him. Li Hengsheng also eagerly wanted to tell Lu Qiaoqiao that he missed her too.

However, there was no way to do so; he had no idea where the letter was sent from.

Li Hengsheng only knew he needed to strive to climb higher, to go further. The farther he went, the closer he would be to Junior Sister Lu.

The Postnatal Realm was just the start.

The Innate Realm was not the end.

He wanted to become a Grandmaster, to become a Great Martial Sect, to become the strongest, to protect the most important people in his life.

As time passed by.

All the disciples grew more nervous. They didn’t stay in one place but instead grouped into several teams and left the encampment.

Otherwise, if they fought here, they wouldn’t even have a place for shelter afterward.

Li Hengsheng was with Lord Zhou, along with some disciples from the Mountain Ancient Land, quietly waiting for the Ghost Race to arrive.

Among those present was also an acquaintance of Li Hengsheng.

Yan Yuyun of the Yan family.

She was here too.

Yan Yuyun followed closely beside Li Hengsheng.

The small team of six people, yet no one spoke, with everyone feeling at least a little tense inside.

Yan Yuyun stayed close to Li Hengsheng. She felt only by being near him, she would have a sense of safety.

"Old Fourth, relax a bit." Lord Zhou patted Li Hengsheng on the shoulder and laughed, "With senior brother here, I’ll protect you and ensure you won’t run into trouble."

"With senior brother here, of course, I’m at ease." Li Hengsheng replied with a smile.

"With Brother Zhou here, we’re all reassured." another disciple said cheerfully.

"Get lost, Old Fourth belongs to our Mu Haifeng; I’ll protect him, you other peaks need to fend for yourselves." Lord Zhou said with a wave of his hand.

"Don’t be like that, Brother Zhou." a female disciple began to coquettishly plead, "I could transfer to Mu Haifeng, you know."

Who knew that Lord Zhou was completely immune to the girl’s charms, giving her a dismissive glance: "Our Mu Haifeng isn’t a place you can just join as you please, but if Junior Sister Yan marries our Old Fourth and becomes my sister-in-law, then I’ll surely protect you."

"Third Brother, you’re talking nonsense." Li Hengsheng said good-naturedly.

Yan Yuyun was also turning crimson at Lord Zhou’s words.

"I’ve had enough trouble from that Lu Shiran, and here you are, making random matches." Li Hengsheng shook his head.

"Hehe, really, that Lu Shiran is so beautiful, Old Third, if you marry Lu Shiran, you’d be the son-in-law of the Guanglan Palace, an excellent opportunity for you!" Lord Zhou said to Li Hengsheng with a look of regret.

"If you like her, senior brother, you should marry her."

"She doesn’t fancy me, among all the genius disciples in the Eastern Wilderness, Lu Shiran has her eyes only set on you." Lord Zhou clicked his tongue.

"That’s because..." Li Hengsheng was about to explain, but in the end, said nothing.

"There’s Ghost Qi."

At that moment, Lord Zhou’s expression suddenly turned serious, and his voice became cold.

That single sentence sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

An extraordinary aura slowly emerged.

The group prepared themselves for battle.

Not only Li Hengsheng’s team, but other teams also sensed the faint Ghost Qi at this moment.

"They’re here."

In the encampment, numerous experts stood up and looked outside.

The Ghost Race was about to appear.

Li Changqing sat calmly on the stone platform, his Divine Soul extending outward, enveloping Li Hengsheng.

The lives of others were of little concern to him.

But his son couldn’t be harmed. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At that moment, waves upon waves of Ghost Qi surged forward, making everyone extremely tense, and at that moment, numerous black holes appeared on the ground.

Figures slowly crawled out of those black holes!

"The Ghost Race is here!"

A figure appeared directly in front of Li Hengsheng’s team.
