Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss

Chapter 51: Possessed by the Demon

In front of a grand cavern residence.

Sectmaster Huang gently knocked on the stone door.

Rumble!

The stone door opened.

“Please!”

Sectmaster Huang made a gesture to the old man next to him to invite him in.

They walked into the cavernous residence.

The stone door closed slowly behind them.

The old man in the gray robe frowned when he realized that the stone door had shut.

Why did he close the door?

“Our Grand Ancestor doesn’t feel well. He is afraid of the wind!”

Sectmaster Huang explained immediately when he noticed the expression on the face of the old man in the gray robe.

Hearing that, the old man in the gray robe nodded.

The rumor that the Nine Stars Sect’s Grand Ancestor was about to die must be true!

Otherwise, how could an expert like him be afraid of winds?

The two of them started to walk down a long tunnel.

All of a sudden, they heard an elderly voice: “The nutrient you brought here today is pretty good!”

“Who is that?”

Nutrient?

The old man in the gray robe was taken aback to hear the voice, and he immediately realized that he was in danger.

His expression changed and he quickly turned around to leave the place.

“Don’t leave in such a hurry!”

Sectmaster Huang stopped the old man in the gray robe.

“Sectmaster Huang, what do you mean?”

“Nothing! You said you want to meet our Grand Ancestor, right? Isn’t it a pity that you just leave in this way? Heh-heh!”

Sectmaster Huang said with a smile.

At this moment, the smell of blood gushed out from the deeper area of that cavern residence.

A gaunt white-haired old man appeared in front of them.

Bang!

Before he even had time to react, the shoulders of the old man in the gray robe were seized.

He tried to resist but he could not move at all.

Field!

A Perfected Person’s Field.

The Nine Stars Sect’s Grand Ancestor was not dead.

On the contrary, he was alive and kicking.

But why was he surrounded by the smell of blood?

“You are quite confused, right? You can think about it in the nether world!”

That gaunt old man said as he opened his mouth and sucked.

There was no time for the old man in the gray robe to even scream. His body started to shrink rapidly as his Cultivation Achievements drained from him.

Instantly, his Blood and Essence as well as his Cultivation Achievements were sucked up by the gaunt old man.

A strand of redness appeared on that gaunt old man’s face. His strength had been remarkably enhanced.

“Heh-heh! This is helpful!”

“Grand Ancestor, if you don’t have any more instructions, should I leave?”

Sectmaster Huang’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He didn’t want to stay in this ghostly place at all.

The Grand Ancestor licked his lips as he stared at Sectmaster Huang. “I’m done here. You can leave now,” the Grand Ancestor said as he waved his hand. He had repressed the idea that he would drain Sectmaster Huang.

He still needed Sectmaster Huang to find more Nutrients for him in the future.

When he was powerful enough, he could do it himself and he wouldn’t need Sectmaster Huang anymore.

After walking out from the cavern residence, Sectmaster Huang stood petrified for a long time.

He didn’t know whether he had done the right thing.

So many people have been killed. Normally, the life span of their Grand Ancestor should have been elongated for 100 years.

The Nine Stars Sect would also get a relief of 100 years.

Sectmaster Huang had some doubts.

Has the Grand Ancestor been possessed by the Demon?

Whoosh!

Sectmaster Huang appeared in the Library Tower of the Nine Stars Sect. Then, he took out a piece of dry cowhide.

Countless experts sacrificed their lives to eliminate the Demons in that bloody battle. Does it mean Demons will appear again?

Sectmaster Huang didn’t believe his speculation.

When he saw their Grand Ancestor today, he got a feeling that their Grand Ancestor was different.

This was especially so when he witnessed the Grand Ancestor sucking up the old man in the gray robe right in front of him.

It was a pity that the records on that cowhide were limited.

He didn’t find any useful information on it.

He only knew that Demons grew stronger by absorbing Warriors’ Blood and Essence as well as Cultivation Achievements.

Sectmaster Huang read through that cowhide several times.

Apart from some records about the battle, he didn’t find any other useful information.

Luoshen River was created during that fierce battle.

Countless experts died in this river.

Back in the cave in the Nine Stars Sect, the gaunt old man walked deeper into the cave after he had absorbed the Cultivation Achievements of the old man in the gray robe.

A man in a black robe was sitting on a step, deep within the cave.

His body was covered by his black robe and his face couldn’t be seen clearly.

“My lord! I will realize a breakthrough soon. I can’t find better Nutrients on this mountain. I am planning to leave this mountain.”

“Sure, but you need to be careful. You should know the consequences if you are discovered by them.”

The man in the black robe said coldly.

I’ve told you so many times! When you are not powerful enough, don’t leave here.

The Nine Stars Sect’s Grand Ancestor was just at the supreme level of Tier One Perfected Person.

The Xuan Sect used to be much more powerful!

“Yes, my lord, I will be very cautious.”

The Nine Stars Sect’s Grand Ancestor left after saying that.

When he was gone, the young man in the black robe sat up slowly.

Now, his empty trouser legs could be seen.

In the past 10 years…

He had subdued all Grand Ancestors of the big families and sects near the Nine Stars Sect in the name of a direct apprentice of the Nine Stars Sect.

Now, two of his disciples were Perfected Persons.

The Grand Ancestor of the Nine Stars Sect was one of them.

All these Grand Ancestors were afraid of death. They just wanted to live longer.

His skills and techniques could elongate these Grand Ancestors’ life.

However, when these Grand Ancestors acquired his skills and techniques, they were not able to control their selfish desire anymore.

When they could live longer, they tried to enhance their Cultivation Achievements.

Every one of them wanted to become a Prime.

Once their selfish desire became uncontrollable, they would become extremely greedy.

“A few more years, heh-heh! I will be able to seek revenge.” Within a dozen years, a tier three Perfected Person will reach tier four at most. “I will catch up and surpass him within several years.”

Zhao Seven crawled out of the cave and watched the Luoshen Mountain in the distance.

My retaliation is just around the corner!

Oh countless deceased members of the Black Dragon Gang, please wait patiently. The Dark Yin Sect will avenge you! Liu Rui, my wife, I will never let you run away this time.

Inside the Shouning Palace…

The two peach trees that were planted by Li Mu blossomed.

Li Mu was sleeping soundly on his recliner under one of the peach trees.

When Liu An succeeded to the throne, he didn’t want to find his concubines through large-scale selective actions.

He only married the daughters of several courtiers.

Nobody knew whether it was Liu An’s plan or not.

In this way, the Shouning Palace was kept empty and ownerless.

Occasionally, the emperor would come to the Shouning Palace.

He just sat there quietly.

Since the emperor didn’t need any service, Li Mu enjoyed the leisure time very much.

He also needed to disguise himself whenever the emperor came to the Shouning Palace, to ensure that he would look older.

In the Shouning Palace, he could witness the growth of Liu An and Liu Rui.

He could also recall the time he spent in the Shouning Palace in the past several decades.

It seemed that this place had become his home; a home for his soul in this world.

A gentle breeze blew past, and his body was covered by countless pink petals which fell like snowflakes.

It’s time to go to the Demon Locking Well and use the Check-in System.

The next moment, Li Mu disappeared.

10 years passed by in a flash.

Emperor Liu An had ruled this state for over 20 years.

All citizens were enjoying their peaceful and prosperous lives.

Liu An also reached the supreme level of the Spirit Manipulation Realm.

Inside the Imperial Palace, five eunuchs also reached the supreme level of the Spirit Manipulation Realm.

It seemed that the supreme level of the Spirit Manipulation Realm was a bottleneck for everyone.

All the warriors were halted by it and were not able to make any further progress.

Li Mu was also stuck at tier nine of Perfected Person.

“Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in at the Demon Locking Well. The reward is 50 years’ power.”

50 years’ power was too little for him at this moment.

But something was always better than nothing.

When he became a Perfected Person, 800 years would be added to his life span.

He would have plenty of time to use the Check-in System.

He didn’t believe he was not able to realize a breakthrough after a long period’s accumulation.

I will leave when I can’t obtain anything else when checking in at the Demon Locking Well.

Where should I use the Check-in System in the future?

Li Mu had no idea about that.

It was always better to find a good place to check in in the South Continent.

Because he didn’t want to run around.

Life in the Shouning Palace was so peaceful.

He had gotten accustomed to life here after staying here so many years.

This was the life he wanted.

He couldn’t accept the breathtaking life of Old Demon Han who was always hunted down.

After glancing at the cavern residence in the Underground Palace, Li Mu touched the jade plate left by Liu Yu.

Over 20 years have passed.

I really want to know how Concubine Jing is doing now.

I need to find an opportunity to visit her.

I also want to know what I can get by checking in at the Xia Family.
