My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 557 - 259: Rules of the Ghost Race (2)

"That damn thing, if it really comes to blows, I can break his bones!" Hong Shen glared fiercely in the direction Hai Dongsheng left in, and said viciously, "Just wait, one day I’ll make that scum die by my hand!"

"Even though he and I are both of the Human Race, I can’t stand his despicable behavior either." Saint Heng was somewhat indignant, then snorted coldly, "I have to thank Commander Hong for letting me join your ranks. If I had gone to him, who knows how he might have tortured me for killing his captain."

"I regret not killing a couple more of his captains just now, so he wouldn’t be able to strut in front of Commander Hong like that."

This past year, Saint Heng did not waste his time at White Snake Dao.

The flattery and green tea antics of those under his command, having been around them for so long, naturally taught him something. Just a few words fanned Hong Shen’s anger and brought himself to align with Hong Shen, which made the rough man feel good about this young Human Race boy.

Moreover, Hong Shen had also heard of Saint Heng’s recent accomplishments—he had killed a captain and even fought against four opponents without falling behind.

Such a talent naturally earned Hong Shen’s admiration. His captains were strong, but none of the army leaders under General De Kang were significantly stronger than the others, as they were clearly kept in check with one another by the general.

But who would have thought that a formidable being would come to Hong Shen’s side.

After all, in General De Kang’s view, Saint Heng possessed Postnatal Peak strength, but the general would never imagine that in that fight, Saint Heng didn’t even use thirty percent of his power. If Saint Heng truly wished to kill, Hai Dongsheng would have been a corpse by now.

"Stick with me, and I guarantee good days ahead," Hong Shen, seeing someone from the Human Race this pleasing for the first time, patted Saint Heng on the shoulder.

Saint Heng also looked grateful.

Right now, Saint Heng had a plan. Currently, he was safe within Ghost City, but once he left, the situation might change. He must establish a strong foothold in Ghost City for now.

When he’s strong enough, he’d return to the Human Race’s land, and he needed resources to cultivate. Once he cultivated to the Innate Realm, he’d find a way to use the Treasure Lotus Lamp to resurrect his father.

Afterward, he’d consider taking revenge on Monarch Yuehan!

Though Monarch Yuehan was his father in essence, Saint Heng felt no familial love for this cheap father.

All he held was a killing intent.

Saint Heng also remembered deeply the last words Jiang Tianyun told him when he was sent away.

Soon, regarding the true secret of that stele!

The General’s Mansion was large, and Hong Shen took Saint Heng to the military camp within it, where Saint Heng learned that each commander had five captains under them, and each captain had hundreds of Ghost Race soldiers.

Thus, each commander’s total company was several thousand strong.

In the Ghost Race, strength is the law. The stronger you are, the higher you can climb.

The weak must be eliminated!

Even if they die, no one would pity them.

Especially in the military camp, this belief was steadfast, so when Hai Dongsheng’s captain died, Saint Heng wasn’t punished but instead appointed as the new captain. To many, this wasn’t surprising but rather seemed rightful.

Becoming the new captain, Saint Heng went directly from the slave quarters to an independent courtyard.

He was also issued armor.

And a waist token, allowing him to choose weapons in the armory freely.

Even the General’s Mansion art studio was accessible for cultivating techniques.

After receiving his armor, Saint Heng faced difficulty when it came to choosing a weapon.

Normally, he’d opt for a spear as his weapon.

Because that’s what Saint Heng excelled at.

But if he chose a spear, wouldn’t Hai Dongsheng become even more suspicious?

Maybe he should choose a different weapon?

After much hesitation, Saint Heng still chose a spear as his weapon.

He went around and picked a pure black battle spear.

Although it paled in comparison to his Immortal-Extinguishing Spear, it would suffice temporarily, as long as he refrained from using the Nine Truths Spear Skill and Overlord Immortal Spear Skill, learning other spear techniques would do, wouldn’t it?

So Saint Heng dove into the art studio, looking to see if there were other cultivation techniques to learn.

However, Hai Dongsheng did not give up and secretly arranged people to monitor Saint Heng, looking for any flaws.

When Hai Dongsheng heard from his subordinates that Saint Heng chose a spear as his weapon, the teacup in his hand shattered to pieces!

"He must be Saint Heng!"

Hai Dongsheng’s eyes widened.

Ever since he saw Saint Heng, he felt extremely uneasy, a sense of hatred, and the spear techniques and Overlord Immortal Spear Skill Saint Heng displayed were remarkably similar to those he had developed. With Saint Heng choosing a spear, it solidified Hai Dongsheng’s suspicions.

Li Yun is Saint Heng.

This was Hai Dongsheng’s intuition!

A very strong intuition.

But Hai Dongsheng had no evidence.

The depiction in the scroll didn’t resemble Saint Heng at all.

"Could it be that the portrait was tampered with?" Hai Dongsheng mused, but this thought seemed far-fetched.

The portrait should’ve been sent directly from Celestial Sea City to the City Lord’s Mansion here.

Then it went straight to the general’s mansion, so where did it go wrong?

"Saint Heng, no hurry, we’ll take our time, as long as you’re still in Ghost City, you can’t escape my grasp."

Hai Dongsheng sneered.

Saint Heng stayed in the art studio for half a day before coming out. Inside, he discovered a wide array of techniques and marveled at how Ghost Race techniques differed from those of the Human Race, the insights gained were bizarre and marvelous.

Especially the works of the Power Ghost Race could only be wielded by those with a greatly strong physical form.

But this suited Saint Heng perfectly.

Saint Heng had the Sun and Moon Celestial Demon Divine Body, surpassing even the Power Ghost Race in physical strength.

So these techniques were child’s play for him.

Thus Saint Heng selected two techniques.

One was a body technique called "Breaking Mountains and Rivers," which didn’t sound like a footwork technique but turned out to be a very forceful body technique, breaking through obstacles with sheer strength, getting more ferocious as one’s strength grew!

The other was a spear technique.

Named "Thousand Sorts of Rain," characterized by spear strikes descending like a relentless storm, its potency was astonishing, demanding high physical strength—a technique rarely practiced by the Power Ghost Race due to its difficulty.

But for Saint Heng, who had practiced the Overlord Immortal Spear Skill, "Thousand Sorts of Rain" wasn’t challenging at all.

He could master it with ease.

After only a day of practice, Saint Heng could perform "Thousand Sorts of Rain" to a jaw-dropping degree.

Saint Heng remained low-key nonetheless.

On his first day as captain, he imagined he’d face prejudice or challenges from Ghost Race soldiers, being from the Human Race, yet contrary to his expectations, none of this happened. The Ghost Race soldiers exhibited no disdain towards their Human Race captain and obeyed him decoratively.

The first task Saint Heng faced was leading his Ghost Race soldiers for night patrol.

It just so happened that Saint Heng was on duty for the next three days.

On Saint Heng’s first night patrolling the streets, he unexpectedly encountered a familiar face.

It was Huang Li.

"Li Yun, Li Yun!"

Seeing Saint Heng, Huang Li enthusiastically ran up. He had been having a tough time, barely getting enough to eat, and ran into Saint Heng.

Who would’ve thought Saint Heng had become a captain in General De Kang’s Mansion!
