The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 659 - 279: Ferocious Ghost Hall_1

Without-Sun City, Inner City, in a secret room.

Ye Qi, hunchbacked, looked up, scrutinizing Ye Hanjun, who was taller than him by half a head.

On his distinct, angular face, what emerged was a certain resilience.

"Perhaps this notion... isn’t so bad after all."

After a long pause, Ye Qi lowered his head, his tone filled with a note of sigh.

"At this point, there’s not a lot else to be said."

"Although previously no one had ascended the 7th Order using dual authority, a wellspring of resentment and unwillingness is buried on this broken Path of Controlling Spirits."

"If one day someone shatters these shackles, it would indeed be an earth-shattering feat."

"Either way...do as you will."

"In any case, your surname is Ye and that’s enough."

Ye Qi waved his hand, and his frayed sleeve, on the verge of falling apart, caused a ferocious hurricane.

When he opened his eyes again, he had vanished and only a faint echo lingered in his ear:

"Here are two Ferocious Ghost Symbols, you can play with them."

"The Clock of the Era is about to ring, clan members will gradually awaken from their seals."

"In addition to some old artifacts, there are a bunch of vibrant young people who, for the sake of the Tomb of Asura, slept for thousands of years vying for this fortuitous encounter."

"This old man is looking forward to your performance. This feast will surely fortify the roots of our Ye Clan, continuing our family’s immortality and splendor..."

The passionate voice faded, leaving Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying as if they had just awakened from a dream.

The two exchanged glances, one deep in thought, the other stunned.

"So, there are clan members willing to be separated from their friends and family by life and death for the sake of the treasure in the tomb?"

Ye Liuying sighed deeply, a solemn look in his clear eyes:

"Yes, the Tomb of Asura is a family secret established by our ancestral founder, opened once in ten thousand years. To be born in this era is already a great fortune."

"I understand."

Ye Hanjun spoke softly:

"I heard that the tomb has an abundance of miraculous medicines and countless inheritances of the Saints."

"Just a few opportunities can make your eyes sparkle with desire."

"Those family members who have lived until now, including the sealed Elders or Saints... Most of them have participated in the Tomb of Asura during their era, laying the foundation for achieving the 8th Level, even the 9th Level."

"For those potential opportunities, enduring thousands of years of loneliness and desolation isn’t a big deal."

Ye Liuying paused, shook his head, grabbed the two symbols flying around, and handed one to Ye Hanjun.

"Here, a Ferocious Ghost Symbol, quite an unexpected surprise."

"Indeed."

Ye Hanjun stretched out his hand to receive it, and put it in his storage ring.

Having this symbol allowed frequent travel to the Inner City, and was perfect for concentrated cultivation in a secret realm called the ’Ferocious Ghost Hall’.

There, it was not only possible to find the pure Dark Element, but also it was full of clusters of Evil Ghosts and Demons.

Each slaughter allowed one to enjoy the enhancements of dark energy infusion, which effectively promoted the growth of Dark Spirit and Dark Authority.

"My Lord, it’s time to select your personal guards."

An orange Ghostly Soul floated over, standing about 3 meters tall, its mouth wide open as if crying.

Ye Liuying opened the Spirit cloth scroll, took a look, and randomly selected a female servant.

"Feng Duo, you come."

An illusionary door pushed open, a strange woman, floating in mid-air, slowly drifted forward.

"Surname Feng?"

Ye Hanjun’s expression changed as he looked more closely.

As the partial owner of the Nether Lamp Abyss, Ye Clan’s influx of vassals was widespread.

The Forget Home where Wang Tu resided was part of this system. Their family lineage, lasting for tens of thousands of years, had every generation’s head of family reaching the 9th Level and their relationship with Ye Clan was inseparable.

Feng Family was also like that, a super vassal family known as the "ranging loyalist".

Only by becoming the Young King, did you have the privilege to select anyone from these ranging loyalist families to serve as your Death Servant.

"Greetings to both of you, my Lords."

Feng Duo knelt on the ground, her complex-patterned skirt fanned out like an open blossom.

She was very calm, seemingly not surprised at all about the arrival of this day.

"Hmm, not bad. My Lord has an outstanding eye, picking the strongest one."

The orange Ghostly Soul was busying itself while weeping, half its body inserted into Feng Duo, drawing out an illusionary soul, and then inserting it into Ye Liuying’s palm.

The next second, an orange chain linked the two.

"Done! Work is over!"

Clapping its hands, the strangely weeping orange Ghostly Soul looked as if it had been greatly wronged.

Yet its behavior was completely contrasting, murmuring reminders before it dissipated:

"Oh, almost forgot."

"Old Ye Qi said to send someone to fetch Yu Ruoxin, to settle her properly in Without-Sun City."

"Which area do you two Lords reside in? Shattered Rock Prison or Ghost Killing River territory? Why not send the ’Void Rabbit Demon’ to pick them up, one-shot deal, save the trouble."

"Yu Ruoxin is currently residing in the Ghost Killing River region."

Surprised, Ye Hanjun took the initiative to ask:

"Is it the world-renowned Void Rabbit Demon?"

"In that case, please help me bring everyone over, it also saves me the trouble of renting another treasure."

"Understood! I got it!"

The gloomy orange Ghostly Soul nodded and began to cry:

"The selection of other guards and the immeasurable class mount, Liuying Lord, you choose anytime. The relevant Soul Jade will be delivered immediately."

"Yours truly needs to leave, see you when the stars align, hullabaloo!"
