Chapter 491

Just as Ji Wushuang had thought, hearing that the Huang Ji Sect would not hesitate to awaken its two ancestors to act together, the Ghost Emperor felt somewhat moved.

After a moment of silence, the Ghost Emperor spoke.

"What if the Dao Yi Sect comes to support?"

Qi Xiong and his group are only a few hundred people at most; the real trouble is Yu Mo and those three old fogeys. As long as we deal with those three old-timers, the others are nothing to fear.

Facing the Ghost Emperor's question, Ji Wushuang smiled and said.

"Naturally, my Huang Ji Sect will handle the blockade. Rest assured, the Dao Yi Sect's reinforcements won't reach Ghost Valley."

"Leaving aside timing, even if the Dao Yi Sect's reinforcements really arrive, Ji Wushuang is confident she can keep them out of Ghost Valley."

"Once Qi Xiong and Yu Mo are dead, even if the Dao Yi Sect has reinforcements, what can they do?"

"Ji Wushuang had already shown enough sincerity; hearing this, the Ghost Emperor finally said."

"Let those two old fogeys come to Ghost Valley to find this emperor."

"What the Ghost Emperor meant was naturally the two ancestors of the Huang Ji Sect, and the meaning is clear: if your Huang Ji Sect awakens its own ancestors, then we will cooperate."

"Ji Wushuang nodded in agreement; the two sides had thus reached a preliminary consensus."

"After ending the communication, that very day the two ancestors of the Huang Ji Sect secretly awakened."

"Compared to the earlier Qing Yun Sect, Ji Wushuang is clearly more cautious; even her own disciples do not know that the ancestors have awakened."

"Only Ji Wushuang and a few other high-ranking members of the Huang Ji Sect know about this."

"After explaining the plan in detail to the two ancestors, they had no objections."

"After all, this is indeed a good opportunity."

"We will head to Ghost Valley at once; as for the rest, Ji Wushuang, you take charge of arranging it."

"One of the ancestors said this; hearing it, Ji Wushuang respectfully nodded in agreement."

"Unbeknownst to them that the Huang Ji Sect and Ghost Valley were secretly allied, Qi Xiong and his group were then preparing the Ghost King Feast."

"Meanwhile, Yin Chen's Three Ghosts, following Qi Xiong's orders, invited all the ghost kings of Ghost Valley under the pretext of receiving the Dao Yi Sect."

"This move, naturally, could not be hidden from the two Ghost Emperors."

"The Ghost Emperor personally contacted Yin Chen, asking what was going on; Yin Chen's reply was simply a banquet, and at the same time it would intimidate the Dao Yi Sect crowd."

"The Ghost Emperor had no suspicion about this reply and did not stop it."

"Moreover, in the Ghost Emperor's view, this is a good thing: using this pretext, gathering all the ghost kings of Ghost Valley beside the Dao Yi Sect would make striking them even easier."

"Haha, this emperor sees that the Dao Yi Sect already has a path to death."

"He was still thinking about how to gather the many ghost kings together without a sound, giving the Dao Yi Sect no time to react."

"Little did he expect, drowsiness came and a pillow appeared right away; the Ghost Emperor was delighted in his heart."

"But unbeknownst to him, Yin Chen's reply was spoken at Qi Xiong's behest."

"As for Qi Xiong's idea, it's simple: first take care of all the ghost kings, then deal with those two old ghosts."

"By then they won't be able to refuse—they'll be bare commanders; what choice will they have?"

"Thus, the Ghost King Feast began to unfold under the mutual suspicions of both sides."

"With the Ghost Emperor's help, even those ghost kings who were originally unwilling to come ended up rushing to the Ghost King Feast, albeit reluctantly."

"Upon learning that not a single invited ghost king had refused, Yin Chen felt a bit strange."

"Strange, why are these fellows so obedient this time?"

"According to the original expectation, getting half of them to come would already be not bad, after all, they're all ghost kings—face isn't that big."

"But why did none of them refuse?"

"Facing Yin Chen's doubt, Qi Xiong beside him laughed and said."

"Wouldn't it be better if they all came? Then we can catch them all in one net."

"It's a bit odd, but no matter; once you're here, you can't run."

"Ghost kings arrived one after another, and the Ghost King Feast formally opened that evening."

"The palace originally belonging to the Soul King had long been occupied by Qi Xiong and his group."

"In the main hall, numerous ghost kings gathered together, numbering twenty or more."

"Yin Chen, what the hell is this ghost king feast you're organizing supposed to mean?"

"A ghost king spoke up angrily, 'What nonsense is this banquet? It's left us completely bewildered.'"

"Hearing this, Yin Chen smiled without speaking; as time passed, the sages of the Dao Yi Sect led by Qi Xiong appeared on the scene."

"Seeing Qi Xiong and company appear, many of the ghost kings present darkened their faces, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense."

"Yin Chen then spoke up at the right moment."

"Actually, this Ghost King Feast is not organized by me."

"Not you?"

"Yes, this feast is hosted by the Sect Master of the Dao Yi Sect, Lord Qi Xiong."

"What are you saying?"

"A human hosting a ghost king feast and inviting so many ghost kings?"

"The ghost kings, already displeased, now had their faces darken to the extreme, their ghostly aura turning violent, as if they would attack at the slightest disagreement."

"What a joke—they are proper ghost kings, yet they come to a feast hosted by humans; it's utterly ridiculous."

"A ghost king immediately rose to his feet, but at that moment Qi Xiong spoke."

"Please, everyone, remain calm and do not act rashly."

This banquet is indeed organized by me, Qi Xiong, but there is no other meaning; I was fortunate to receive the Ghost Emperor's invitation to tour the Ghost Valley, and after thinking it over, holding a banquet to express gratitude is quite normal, so you all need not think too much.

Moreover, the dishes of our Dao Yi Sect will surely not disappoint you; for this banquet, our Dao Yi Sect has specially prepared demon emperor ingredients for everyone.

What was said earlier, the ghost kings didn't care at all, but upon hearing the four words "demon emperor ingredients"...

The ghost kings were stunned, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared in their eyes.

Ah, the demon emperor's food ingredient — its value is absolutely beyond doubt.

The members of the Dao Yi Sect have already experienced this.

These past few days, Ye Zhangqing has been cooking with the demon emperor's food ingredient; after eating it, everyone benefited greatly.

Even some elders directly broke through because of it, and Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others made leaps and bounds in their progress.

Even Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, and the other saints also gained quite a bit.

This shows how heaven-defying the demon emperor's food ingredient is.

Although some of the ghost kings had originally been dissatisfied, upon hearing that there was demon emperor's food ingredient, each of them did a complete 180-degree turn in attitude.

Don't look at them being ghost kings — they've never eaten demon emperor's food ingredient before.

"Haha, Sect Master Qi is being too polite; my Ghost Valley and your Dao Yi Sect have always been on good terms. Since Sect Master Qi is hosting this banquet, aside from anything else, we ought to attend."

"Exactly."

"Before, we were somewhat lacking in etiquette; please, Sect Master Qi, be more forgiving."

For a taste of the demon emperor's food ingredient, the ghost kings' attitudes are completely different from before.

As for this, Qi Xiong secretly sneered, looking at these faces — heh, do you think our sect doesn't know what you're thinking?

However, it's fine; the demon emperor's food ingredient is good, but it doesn't come for free.

First, I'll use this demon emperor's food ingredient to keep you around, step by step; eventually, I won't believe I can't take down you lot of ghostly things.

Having temporarily stabilized the situation, facing the ghost kings' change in attitude, Qi Xiong also laughed and said.

"Haha, you all are being overly formal; the timing is just right — how about we eat and chat?"
