Chapter 283: News of the Oni King of Black Mountain

"Oni King of Black Mountain, where did you hear that name?"

Hearing Lingyun mention the Oni King of Black Mountain, Chen Jing looked puzzled.

"I ran into an evil ghost earlier, and he said he was a subordinate of the Oni King of Black Mountain. Before I finished him off, he said he was a subordinate of the Oni King of Black Mountain. I thought you might know more about such things, so I came to ask," Lingyun said.

"As for the Oni King of Black Mountain, let Wanyue tell you; she knows much more about him," Chen Jing said.

Seeing the two pairs of eyes fixed on her, Su Wanyue nodded and then said, "I do indeed know quite a bit about the Oni King of Black Mountain. After all, our Su Family and the Oni King of Black Mountain were once mortal enemies!"

"Mortal enemies?" Lingyun frowned slightly.

"The Oni King of Black Mountain was a powerful ghost cultivator over a hundred years ago, whose strength had already surpassed the Innate realm. It was a time of great chaos in the world, with demons and monsters running rampant everywhere, wantonly slaughtering innocent people, and this Oni King of Black Mountain was one of them. At the time, he coveted the bloodline of our Su Family and led a large number of Ghost Generals to attack the Su Family. That battle was the most arduous fight the Su Family ever fought, nearly severing our bloodline inheritance. In that great war, the Su Family exhausted almost all of its foundations, and even several ancestors who had long since retired from the world perished before we could hold off the Oni King of Black Mountain's offensive," Su Wanyue said slowly.

"What was the final outcome of the battle?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"The end? At the time, several of our ancestors intended to fight the Oni King of Black Mountain to the death, planning to make him scatter into nothingness even if it meant their own deaths, when the Maoshan orthodoxy intervened. They stopped the battle, captured the Oni King, and took him away, saying they would give us an answer. Later, we heard that the Oni King of Black Mountain had been struck by the Maoshan Sect Leader using the Five Thunder Orthodox Method and scattered into nothingness, so the matter just passed. It is unexpected that someone claiming to be a subordinate of the Oni King of Black Mountain has appeared now, and even said the Oni King of Black Mountain has been resurrected; this is somewhat strange!" Su Wanyue said.

"Perhaps the events of that year were not so simple. Was the fact that the Oni King of Black Mountain was struck dead by the Maoshan Sect Leader of that time with the Five Thunder Orthodox Method something your elders witnessed with their own eyes?" Lingyun asked.

"That, they did not. At the time, it was just a Maoshan disciple who came to deliver a message to us. Moreover, the Maoshan Sect Leader at the time was a person of high virtue and prestige, so our elders did not suspect anything," Su Wanyue said.

"If it is truly as that evil ghost said, and the Oni King of Black Mountain has appeared once again, then the Su Family, who forged a blood feud with him back then, will likely be the first target of his revenge!" Lingyun tapped his fingers on the table.

"No, I must go back and tell my father about this. If the Oni King of Black Mountain has truly appeared again, our family must make preparations as early as possible!" Su Wanyue said.

After Su Wanyue left, Chen Jing said to Lingyun with a serious expression, "Lingyun, if the Oni King of Black Mountain attacks, can you block him with your current strength?"

"The Oni King of Black Mountain? We are not certain of his current strength, but ordinary trash clearly could not earn the title of Oni King, nor could they have brought the Su Family of that time to the brink of extinction. The only thing we can be certain of now is that the opponent's strength is definitely an existence that has surpassed the Innate realm," Lingyun said calmly.

"That's right, that is the most troublesome problem. Although Ye Xi and Esdeath and the others are all very strong, I'm afraid they would be out of their depth when dealing with a legendary Oni King!" Chen Jing nodded.

"You don't need to worry about that. Although the Oni King of Black Mountain is very powerful, and it is unrealistic to take him down with our current strength, he definitely cannot do anything to me!" Lingyun said confidently.

"Is that so? Then I can rest easy!" Chen Jing nodded slightly, and at the same time, gave up the intention of making a certain phone call.

"Hmm? If the opponent attacks the Su Family directly, will the Su Family be in trouble?" Lingyun asked.

"They won't. The Su Family is a famous and powerful family in Beijing. Ji Xiuwen is truly too naive if he thinks he can destroy the Su Family just by relying on those few Innate Experts!" Chen Jing said with a smile. "And don't forget what kind of place this is. If the Oni King of Black Mountain dares to come here, the guardians hidden in Beijing will let him know what the power of the nation is!"

"Is that so? Then I can rest easy," Lingyun nodded slightly.

After Chen Jing left, Lingyun called Luo Yexi and the others over and told them about the matter.

"Ghosts, are they things like spirits?" After hearing what Lingyun said, Asuna's face turned somewhat pale.

"Isn't it just an Oni King? I don't believe he can make any waves in your hands, Master!" A glimmer of light flashed in Luo Yexi's eyes.

"Among us now, the only ones who can directly trade blows with a powerhouse at the Oni King level are myself, Night Raid, Esdeath, and Busujima Saeko. I'm afraid the others will still find it difficult to cope when facing an Oni King," Lingyun said. "You all need to be careful when going out alone during this period. I have made some Jade Talismans for you; crush them when necessary, and they can release a full-strength strike from me. Even an Oni King would have to avoid the brunt of this move."

Looking at the Jade Talismans in front of them, everyone present nodded and then put them away. These were things made by Lingyun's own hands, and they were of extraordinary significance to them.

Meanwhile, in the middle of a great mountain, stood a hall filled with eerie Yin Energy. Inside the hall sat a man with a majestic appearance. The man was draped in a black robe, and embroidered on the robe were countless baring fangs and brandishing claws of evil ghosts.

"Hmm, it seems a piece of trash has died!" Suddenly, the man frowned slightly. In his hand appeared a black stone, but the stone was already covered in cracks.

"This guy, it seems to be that fellow Chi Mang. I remember he was sealed by a monk back then; I didn't expect him to be dead now," the man chuckled.

"My Lord, Chi Mang was also a piece of trash to have died outside just like that!" a tall figure in the hall spoke up.

"Even if he was a piece of trash, he was a piece of trash in my hands; how could he die at the hands of others? Regardless, he had reached the Xiantian Ultimate at the time, and ordinary people could not kill him!" the Oni King of Black Mountain said slowly.

"No, didn't you say, My Lord, that Chi Mang was sealed by someone else back then? If he had just broken the seal and then happened to run into someone who countered him, then it is not impossible for him to have been killed!" a figure wrapped in mist spoke up.

"Regardless, Chi Mang died at the hands of an outsider; this is undoubtedly a provocation against me!" the Oni King of Black Mountain said in a deep voice. "Yin Jiu, I leave this matter to you. I believe you will give me a satisfactory answer!"

"Yes, My Lord." One of the people present nodded, then transformed into a large bird and flew out of the hall.
