Chapter 37

Imperial Concubine Lan’s blood red eyes were fixated at the blood on the floor and the black qi lingering around her body began to bellow out in large quantities, her delicate and elegant face began to slowly change into a ferocious and horrifying appearance. One moment, her shoulder jerked unnaturally and in the next moment, her neck twisted, her pallid skin suddenly sagging and then swelling, as if something was trying to dig itself out.

You Shu was bloodletting as he quietly observed Imperial Concubine Lan, then he saw a man’s face bulging out from her ear, opening his eyes and mouth, and letting out a sharp keening shriek. The interior of the ruined palace was suddenly layered with ghostly shadows and wave after wave of ominous sounds resonated throughout the space, as if the world had turned into purgatory.

Ah Da and Ah Er held their blades in their hands but there were light teeth chattering sounds coming from them. It was obvious that they were absolutely terrified. However, when the black mist touched You Shu, it immediately dispersed as if it was subconsciously trying to avoid him. Ah Da and Ah Er suddenly at peace as they subtly shifted towards the youth’s sides.

Imperial Concubine Lan appeared to be extremely hostile towards the ghostly face and wanted to forcibly press him down, but it resulted in her finger getting bitten off. The heavy Yin qi within the cold palace became even denser.

Ah Da and Ah Er stared a bit and were dumbstruck. The Seventh Wangye, the Seventh Wangye’s face, why was it growing out from Imperial Concubine Lan’s head?

You Shu didn’t feel as if anything was strange. If a ghost had wanted to become powerful, it would either engulf Yin qi or Yang qi, or something else that was similar. The Seventh Wangye must have been consumed by Imperial Concubine Lan because his body possessed the blood lineage of the Dragon Emperor, but Imperial Concubine Lan was unable to assimilate him into herself and instead, he was trying to fight for control. At the moment, he smelled the blood of the people outside and was naturally drawn outwards.

While the two ghosts strived for dominance, You Shu swiftly wrapped up his wound.

Imperial Concubine Lan and the Seventh Wangye simultaneously opened their mouths and an eerie bloodcurdling grotesque mix of a man’s and woman’s voice rang out, “Why did you stop? It’s not enough, it’s far from being enough!”
