Chapter 704: I Really Am Your Ancestor, Why Won't You Believe Me?

If it were Liu Xuguang in his prime, even if the soul of Spirit King Liu Yongtu had temporarily recovered to its peak, the success rate would not have been very high.

As it turned out, Li Changsheng had wiped out four of Liu Xuguang's main Demon Pets at the National Tournament, including one Demon Beast, which was practically an assist delivered to Spirit King Liu Yongtu.

This also left Liu Xuguang in the worst possible state, which gave Spirit King Liu Yongtu the opportunity he needed.

Before Spirit King Liu Yongtu could even take action, Li Changsheng dealt him another critical blow; not only was the capital he intended to use for a comeback plundered, but the two Demon Beasts guarding the Ruins were killed by Ning Bizhen.

Consequently, the soul of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, which was about to recover to its peak, suffered a backlash, and coupled with his intense anger, he lost his sanity and forcibly attempted Possession of Liu Xuguang.

If it were a normal Spirit King Liu Yongtu, it would naturally be impossible for him to lose his sanity so easily, but the current Spirit King Liu Yongtu was not normal.

For one, he had performed Blood Sacrifice on many Langya Liu Clan relatives, and for another, he was frequently soaked in the blood of powerful Spirit Beasts, causing his soul to gradually become tyrannical and easily influenced by negative emotions.

Liu Xuguang's state was very poor, and he was caught off guard by the soul of Spirit King Liu Yongtu; however, Spirit King Liu Yongtu was also not in his prime, and although he had the upper hand, he could not Devour the other party in a short time after Liu Xuguang's soul curled up into a ball.

After gaining control of Liu Xuguang's body, Spirit King Liu Yongtu went to unseal several main Demon Pets he had secretly sealed underground in the Secret Realm at the time, including his Life-Bound Demon Pet, Qin Yuan.

Unlike Flame King Di Zhiyi, as long as Spirit King Liu Yongtu completed the Bloodline Possession, he could still control his Demon Pets.

Of course, the drawbacks were also significant; the lifespans of the Demon Pets would also rapidly drain away, and these Demon Pets would consume their lifespans at ten times the normal rate, likely not living for many more years.

Besides this, even if Spirit King Liu Yongtu successfully possessed Liu Xuguang, his lifespan would still be severely limited.

There was no help for it; Possession is rejected by the rules of this world, and in short, the drawbacks were more than just a few.

Spirit King Liu Yongtu was preoccupied with the Ruins, as that was the capital for his potential comeback, so he impatiently controlled Liu Xuguang's body and arrived at the Silent Forest.

Because he had not yet fully devoured Liu Xuguang's soul, coupled with the repulsion between the soul and the body, Spirit King Liu Yongtu could only partially control Liu Xuguang's body, leading to the current situation.

"Who is it? Who exactly is it?"

Spirit King Liu Yongtu muttered to himself; he had painstakingly plotted for a hundred years, never imagining it would end in such a result.

This was also an unlucky fellow; the map of the Ruins that Dean Ning Wei obtained was not drawn by Spirit King Liu Yongtu at all, but by some severely wounded Monster Tamer who had accidentally broken into the depths of the Silent Forest and happened to discover these Ruins. He had exhausted his remaining strength and was unable to break into the Ruins, so he could only draw this map of the Ruins while on the verge of death, and in the end, no one knew how it fell into the hands of Dean Ning Wei.

"Who exactly are you?"

At this moment, the voice of Liu Xuguang rang out in the mind of Spirit King Liu Yongtu.

In Liu Xuguang's Consciousness Sea, there were two light orbs, one large and one small; the larger one was naturally the soul of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, while the smaller one was the soul of Liu Xuguang.

Liu Xuguang's soul had been suppressed into a corner, but this was, after all, Liu Xuguang's Consciousness Sea, and it was difficult for Spirit King Liu Yongtu to complete the Devour in a short time.

"I have told you so many times, I really am your ancestor Liu Yongtu, why won't you believe it? Child, give up; I will use this body of yours to lead the Li Clan back to the peak."

Spirit King Liu Yongtu coaxed him gently; his soul was relatively unstable, and the sooner he devoured Liu Xuguang's soul, the smaller the aftereffects would be.

"My ancestor could not be this despicable!"

That was what Liu Xuguang said, but in reality, although he could not control his own body, he could see the actions of Spirit King Liu Yongtu. After seeing Spirit King Liu Yongtu unseal Qin Yuan and the other Demon Pets, he already had the answer in his heart, but he simply could not accept it.

How could Liu Xuguang not recognize the main Demon Pets of his own ancestor?

All along, Liu Xuguang had believed his ancestor, Spirit King Liu Yongtu, to be upright and noble, but he never expected this to happen to him—his own ancestor actually wanted to possess him, which completely overturned his worldview.

Not to mention Liu Xuguang, no one could accept such a fact; the ancestor he respected the most and took as his goal actually wanted to possess him, and his entire worldview was on the verge of collapse.

"Don't even dream of making me give up; who wins and who loses is not yet certain!"

This instead stirred up Liu Xuguang's determination to resist, giving Spirit King Liu Yongtu quite a headache.

"Who!"

As an Emperor Rank, even though Spirit King Liu Yongtu was in a terrible state and needed to focus part of his energy on Liu Xuguang, he still sensed something wrong.

To Spirit King Liu Yongtu, it felt as if someone was secretly spying on him.

Spirit King Liu Yongtu hurriedly projected his Mental Power, encompassing a radius of several dozen miles, and scanned frantically with his Vigorous Mental Power, yet he never discovered the person spying in the dark.

Even while scanning the vicinity frantically, Spirit King Liu Yongtu could still feel the sensation of being watched, but after about five seconds, this feeling suddenly disappeared.

"I had better return to the family as soon as possible and wait until I have completely refined this descendant before doing anything else."

Spirit King Liu Yongtu frowned, vaguely sensing something ominous; this was the feeling brought to him by his powerful sixth sense.

A pair of pitch-black wings emerged behind Spirit King Liu Yongtu, and he prepared to return to the family.

On the other side, after being discovered by Spirit King Liu Yongtu, Li Changsheng took the opportunity to withdraw his gaze.

"It seems Liu Xuguang has been possessed; the one who possessed him is very likely Spirit King Liu Yongtu. Why do these old immortals love playing these Possession tricks so much?"

Although he had only observed for a moment, judging from Liu Xuguang's words and actions, Li Changsheng had already confirmed Liu Xuguang's situation.

At the thought of Possession, Li Changsheng thought of Flame King Di Zhiyi; these old fellows would stop at nothing to extend their lifespans.

However, thinking about it carefully, it felt normal; after all, Di Zhiyi and Liu Yongtu were both high-ranking Emperor Ranks who had enjoyed the pleasure brought by power and strength, with statuses comparable to emperors. "Living in luxury and wielding immense power" described them perfectly, and especially since they had lived for over two hundred years, most Emperor Ranks were likely quite afraid of death.

Not to mention Emperor Ranks, many emperors who had not become Emperor Ranks also craved so-called immortality and used various means to extend their lifespans.

At the thought that the one possessing Liu Xuguang was very likely Spirit King Liu Yongtu, Li Changsheng couldn't help but lament that this generation of the Langya Liu Clan was exceptionally unlucky; first there was Flame King Di Zhiyi wanting to possess Liu Xudong, and now Spirit King Liu Yongtu wanted to possess Liu Xuguang.

However, Li Changsheng also knew that now was not the time to think about these things; he and the Langya Liu Clan were mortal enemies, and neither Liu Xuguang nor Spirit King Liu Yongtu would let him go. He had to seize this opportunity and wipe out the other party while they were in a bad state.

For the sake of safety, Li Changsheng quickly reunited with Ning Bizhen and used the Teleportation Array of the Yuanling Academy to teleport to the Li Family Manor on the outskirts of Luo City.

If calculated by straight-line distance, it was less than two hundred miles from the location of the Ruins.

The next moment, Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen rode the Three-Legged Fire Crow and flew rapidly toward the direction of the Silent Forest.

In the span of a few breaths, the speed of the Golden Crow reached its peak.

At this time, Li Changsheng once again cast the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique, quickly locking onto the location of Spirit King Liu Yongtu.

Even Spirit King Liu Yongtu did not want to cross the central area of the Silent Forest, so he chose to take a detour.

Although doing so required more time, it was much safer; after all, the central area of the Silent Forest had several Demon Saint-level Spirit Beasts, and they were not to be trifled with.

Even in his prime, Spirit King Liu Yongtu could not contend with the five Great Overlords of the Silent Forest simultaneously.

When Li Changsheng cast his gaze upon Spirit King Liu Yongtu again, his brows furrowed once more; he felt the sensation of being watched again.

"Xiao San, northwest direction!"

While Spirit King Liu Yongtu was hesitant, Li Changsheng made a quick calculation and selected the best interception point.

Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique!

Under Li Changsheng's command, the Three-Legged Fire Crow transformed into a golden-red rainbow, like a fleeting shadow; the surrounding scenery passed by rapidly, and it rushed toward the direction of the Ruins at an exaggerated speed.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng and the other arrived at the predetermined location.

This place was located in the hinterland of the Silent Forest, and it was also the territory of the Golden Lion Zeryanas.

Compared to the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique of the Three-Legged Fire Crow, the speed of Spirit King Liu Yongtu was much slower, still a distance of several dozen li from Li Zhangsheng.

When the Three-Legged Fire Crow flew over, the Golden Lion Zeryanas sensed it, and when it saw Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, it subconsciously wanted to flee.

"Zeryanas, I am not here to cause you trouble this time. How about this: as long as you help me with one favor, the grudges between us will be wiped clean."

Although he was very confident in his own strength, Li Zhangsheng was not reckless, especially when the opponent might be a veteran King, so he naturally had to treat it with caution.

Li Zhangsheng's idea was very simple: he wanted to use the organization of the Silent Forest to test the strength of Spirit King Liu Yongtu.

As for Li Zhangsheng and Bizhen, they would naturally remain behind the scenes; if the strength of Spirit King Liu Yongtu exceeded their capacity, they would then make other plans, and conversely, they would try their best to keep him here.

"Human, I hope you can keep your promise!"

Looking at the Three-Legged Fire Crow intercepting it, the Golden Lion Zeryanas drooped its head, secretly lamenting its bad luck, and in the end, it could only obediently submit.

Roar~

The next moment, the Golden Lion Zeryanas used all its strength to roar continuously, and its voice could be heard for hundreds of li around, including the central area of the Silent Forest.

Having been stirred up by Li Zhangsheng not long ago, the nearby Great Overlords and Overlords had not yet fully lowered their guard, and now that the distress call of the Golden Lion Zeryanas had come, they subconsciously assumed that Li Zhangsheng had returned and come over to loot them again.

Today's goal: three, pigs, verified!
