Chapter 1189: Chapter 1183: Long Xinzhuo Is a Ghost

Seeing the ghost energy lingering and not dispersing, Empress Feng was also puzzled.

"What is going on?"

"Mother, I already mentioned that like attracts like. This proves that there is something wrong with Lady Shi and her son."

After joining the Taichang Holy Institute, Long Qingxuan’s sensitivity was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Although he wasn’t like Xin Lin, who could see ghosts due to her possession of the Fu Tian Pill, he could still sense them.

When he encountered Little Xinzhuo, he detected the chilly ghost energy on him. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Though he suspected, he was not certain.

When one is associated with ghost energy for a long time, personal belongings or people can become tainted with it.

"Are you saying that Lady Shi and her son are ghosts?"

Empress Feng gasped.

Although she disliked Lady Shi and her son, she had never thought of them in this light.

But considering Little Xinzhuo’s astonishing talent and Lady Shi’s appearance,

how can a woman, after being exiled for so many years, bearing a child with no money or servants, have a face that seemingly doesn’t age, but becomes more charming, entrancing Emperor Longteng into confusion?

Empress Feng had suspected before, yet only after Long Qingxuan spoke did she come to a sudden realization.

"The possibility of mother and son both being ghosts is unlikely; at least, there is a significant problem with Long Xinzhuo."

Long Qingxuan could affirm.

The ghost energy was heavy on his academy robe.

As for Lady Shi, now that she is pregnant, it’s impossible for ghosts to conceive, much less with a human, so her ghost energy likely comes from her association with Little Xinzhuo.

"Mother, I also heard that you dispatched someone to hunt them down."

Long Qingxuan pondered aloud.

"Indeed, I was tracking down a treasure left by General Shi. I believed it was hidden with the mother and son, and I sent people after them. They supposedly even killed the little one, yet somehow, they returned alive to Purple Cloud City."

Bringing up this matter, Empress Feng couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

"I suppose something happened along the way, causing a transformation in Long Xinzhuo. In fact, the Taichang Holy Institute sent me to lead the team to the Little Eagle Chick Conference for a specific reason. It’s said that a Corpse King has emerged, wreaking havoc everywhere. The Four Great Holy Lands, including the Taichang Holy Institute, have dispatched people to secretly eliminate him."

Long Qingxuan lowered his voice.

"The Corpse King! Could Long Xinzhuo be...?"

Empress Feng turned pale with fright.

How could humans contend with ghosts?

"Mother, you needn’t worry too much. Long Xinzhuo’s abilities are not enough to gain the support of the Corpse King."

Long Qingxuan said indifferently.

The Corpse King was reputedly formidable, and his emergence would certainly cause the heavens to change color, bringing endless calamities.

Purple Cloud City remains unscathed, indicating the Corpse King is not there.

However, the troublesome Ghost General might be Long Xinzhuo’s backbone.

A single Ghost General was nothing in Long Qingxuan’s eyes; his Demon Extermination Bowl was sufficient to handle it.

"This is a serious matter. Since the founding of Longteng, the biggest taboo has been linking with malevolent beings. Once it’s confirmed that Long Xinzhuo is a ghost, Lady Shi and her unborn child will also be implicated, and Mother won’t have to worry anymore."

Long Qingxuan smiled, retracting the ghost energy into his Demon Extermination Bowl.

"My son always has a way. Leave Lady Shi to you for handling."

Empress Feng was very pleased after hearing this.

"Rest assured, Mother, I will handle it properly, but we must proceed with caution. Mother, you need to..."

Long Qingxuan gave a few instructions, and Empress Feng nodded repeatedly after hearing them.
