Chapter 459: Origin of the Ghost Clan

"Obtained by chance. Do you know the origin of this thing?" Chen Yu looked at Su Yan's expression and felt she knew something.

"The Ghost Clan Horn. Legend has it that it is a Sacred Object taken out by the six great Priests of the ancient Ghost Kingdom when it was annihilated." Su Yan nodded. She picked up the horn; it felt ice-cold to the touch, and a sense of fear, as if coming from the Nine Nether Hell, surged from her heart.

She hurriedly set the thing aside, not daring to touch it again.

"It really is something from the Ghost Clan. Just touching it makes me feel like my soul is about to leave my body." Su Yan murmured, "Chen Yu, you cannot control this thing. I need to take it back."

"If I had selfish motives, I wouldn't have taken this thing out to show you at all." Chen Yu glanced at her and said, "Tell me the origin of the Ghost Kingdom."

"I don't know the origin of the Ghost Kingdom. I only know it was a race that lived in the Youming Zhidi during ancient times," Su Yan said. "Legend has it that they were the soldiers and civilians who died unjustly after the War of the Ancient Gods."

"But because they wreaked havoc on the human world, they were wiped out by the joint efforts of the Ancient Gods. The Ghost Clan fell into the Nine Netherworlds and was completely annihilated. However, before their annihilation, the three great Priests of the Ghost Clan escaped with the six Ghost Clan Horns. It is said that if one collects the horns and finds the ruins of the Ghost Clan, one can awaken the sleeping Ghost Clan."

"So that's how it is." Chen Yu nodded and said, "No wonder the Huang Clan, even after abandoning their old profession of grave robbing, is cooperating with the authorities to search for graveyards everywhere. If the Ghost Clan is awakened, what kind of consequences will there be?"

"I don't know. Some say one can obtain the endless wealth of the Ghost Clan, some say one can find the code to immortality, and others say... once the Ghost Clan emerges, the human world will surely fall into chaos. But I always feel that a race that could be wiped out by the joint efforts of the Ancient Gods—if it reappears in the world, it is definitely not a good thing," Su Yan said.

"Right, I have that feeling too. Counting it up, I have already encountered remnants of the Ghost Clan twice. They are definitely not kind-hearted." Chen Yu wrapped up the horn and handed it to Su Yan, saying, "You keep this and take it back. I don't want to get involved with this hot potato."

"Alright, thank you." Su Yan nodded, put away the horn, and said seriously, "Also, I heard that overseas forces have already arrived in Fengling, and their target is the Bai Family. You must be careful."

"I know, I will definitely be careful." Chen Yu nodded with a solemn expression. "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go first. Muyu should be getting off work soon."

It was still that same coffee shop; Chen Yu waited until Bai Muyu got off work.

She was now taking over the work of her father, Bai Zhan, so she got off work no earlier than ten o'clock, though today she came out a little earlier.

"Chen Yu, come help me carry some things." Bai Muyu pulled Chen Yu to the entrance of the Academy of Sciences. "Some things I bought arrived today."

"What is this?" Chen Yu watched as she signed for pile after pile of items.

"Cat food and such. I know of a small alley that has many stray cats. There is a blogger who is a cat lover; he is responsible for feeding them every day, but his income can't keep up, so I donated some things," Bai Muyu smiled.

"Why don't you raise one yourself?" Chen Yu asked.

"I don't have the time, otherwise I really would have." Bai Muyu drove the car over, and the two of them busied themselves moving all these things into the car.

Driving towards the old city district, it took just over ten minutes to reach that cat alley.

Actually, this place was an area awaiting demolition; most of the residents inside had already moved away, and the alley was gathered with many stray cats and dogs.

At this hour, there was no one in the alley, but because people often fed them, these cats were not afraid when they saw people; instead, they all swarmed over.

But honestly, these little things were truly very healing, meowing and rubbing their soft bodies against you, which made people with high work pressure feel very relaxed.

Opening a bag of cat food, more cats gathered around. The number of these stray cats was too large; even with people taking care of them, it was impossible to look after all of them, so some cats were eating big mouthfuls of food, which was very healing.

"Haha, Chen Yu, will you accompany me here every day from now on? I really like these little things too much." Bai Muyu laughed heartily.

"Alright, but this place seems to be getting demolished, right?" Chen Yu looked at the surroundings and said, "This place is the old city district; what's planned here should be a welfare institute and a nursing home, right?"

"Ah? Then after it's demolished, where will these cats go?" Bai Muyu was stunned.

"Don't worry, they have their own survival rules. They aren't house cats that live in luxury at home every day; they have their own skills for survival," Chen Yu said. "And after leaving here, they will soon have a new gathering place."

"That's good." Bai Muyu stroked a cat and said, "Although they are pitiful, the elderly and children are more important. Although both are lives, human rights are heavier, so building a nursing home and an orphanage here is also right."

After speaking, Bai Muyu looked up and met Chen Yu's gaze. Her face turned red and she said, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Because I think your values are very upright." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, if this cat alley is gone, there will be another cat alley."

"Mm, I believe there definitely will be." Bai Muyu nodded earnestly.

Suddenly, several commercial vehicles drove over and stopped outside the cat alley.

Several men in black suits got out and walked straight toward Chen Yu and Bai Muyu.

These people walked while paying attention to the surrounding environment, and they would report safety through earpieces.

Chen Yu noticed that the cars they drove were bulletproof, and the bodies were thickened. This level of vehicle was generally only possessed by special departments.

"Hello, Miss Bai. You need to come with us now." Although the black-clad man's tone was respectful, he still couldn't hide his condescending attitude.

"Who are you people?" Chen Yu blocked in front of Bai Muyu.

"None of your business. Move aside," the man said coldly.

"Even if you are taking me away, you have to state your identities, right? A group of people showing up out of nowhere and just wanting me to follow you?" Bai Muyu's brows furrowed slightly. Her intuition told her these people were not ordinary, but they at least had to make things clear.

"After we arrive at the place, we will naturally explain to you." The man had a high-and-mighty look.

"Then I'm sorry, without stating your identities, I'm afraid you won't be able to take her away." Chen Yu's brows locked. In fact, from the man's arrogant demeanor, he had already seen that these were people from the Heaven War Pavilion.

Dragon Breath and the Heaven War Pavilion had always been a taboo topic. People who could join the Heaven War Pavilion naturally had a sense of innate superiority psychologically, but unfortunately, their superiority didn't work with Chen Yu.

"Who are you? You dare to meddle in our business? Do you know who we are?" The man's brows locked tightly, and he stepped forward. The few people behind him followed suit, intending to exert pressure on Chen Yu.

"If you don't state your identity, how would I know who you are? A group of people out of nowhere pulling people on the street and making them follow you? Do you really think that much of yourselves?" Chen Yu said coldly.

"Cut the crap, move aside." A man reached out, intending to push Chen Yu away.

Suddenly, his body shook, and as if electrocuted, he flew several meters away, hitting the dilapidated residential house behind him with a thud.

With a loud boom, the residential house, which was already tottering, immediately collapsed.

The remaining people were startled and reached for their waists one after another.

But suddenly, their movements froze because a sword had appeared in Chen Yu's hand.

This sword was full of chill, and several strands of Sword Qi had already formed, hanging over the heads of these few people.

"Condense Qi into Sword. Are you an expert of the Martial Ancestor Realm?" The leading man's voice suddenly lacked confidence.

Even if the Heaven War Pavilion was known as the violent department under Dragon Breath, with combat power second to none, these people had to weigh how many heads they had when encountering Chen Yu of the Martial Ancestor Realm.

"Scram." Chen Yu waved his right hand, and with a thud-thud, these few people were blown away by his palm wind.

These people scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state. The face of the leader changed again and again. He suppressed his breath and cupped his hands to Chen Yu, saying, "Sorry, we are members under Ao Zhan of the Heaven War Pavilion. Now Captain Ao Zhan requires us to take Miss Bai to a designated location."

"Tell Ao Zhan that I am responsible for her safety, and he should just do his own work well." Chen Yu said coldly, "Don't overreach."

"We received news that someone from overseas has infiltrated Fengling today, and their target is Miss Bai. You are obstructing us from taking her away; can you take responsibility if something happens?" The leading man was furious.
