Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Returning to Its Rightful Owner
Hearing this, Ling Chen grinned.
Summer Jiuyou’s intention to insult him was nothing more than to seek a quick death.
But how could he possibly grant Summer Jiuyou his wish?
Summer Jiuyou caused his father to suffer endlessly and tore him away from his son. How could he let Summer Jiuyou die quickly and easily with such hatred?
"Kneel and speak!"
With a flick of his finger, Ling Chen shot out two streams of Spiritual Power, striking Summer Jiuyou’s knees, forcing him to kneel.
Summer Jiuyou struggled to get up.
Ling Chen immediately activated his Divine Soul Telekinesis, binding him in place.
Then, using Divine Soul Telekinesis, Ling Chen pressed Summer Jiuyou’s head down to kowtow to Ling Tianxing.
"Ling Chen, you won’t die a good death!"
"Ling Chen, you little beast, if you have the guts, kill me with one sword. What’s so great about humiliating me?"
...
Summer Jiuyou kept cursing.
Unfortunately, he was no more than a mortal now, with no strength to resist.
After kowtowing ten thousand times, Ling Chen finally withdrew his Divine Soul Telekinesis.
By then, Summer Jiuyou’s forehead was a bloody and blurry mess!
"Alright, Chen Er, I don’t want to see him anymore!"
Ling Tianxing said.
"Understood, father, I will kill him!"
Ling Chen nodded.
Hearing this, a look of mad joy appeared on Summer Jiuyou’s face, "Yes, yes, yes, kill me quickly!"
Ling Chen’s mouth twitched, "Want to die? It’s not time yet!"
"Ling Chen, what’s so great about torturing people!"
Summer Jiuyou roared in despair.
"Return to King City!"
Ling Chen declared loudly.
"Yes!"
The Dark Night Cultivators obeyed the command.
Ji Wuya also issued orders, and the cultivators on both banks of Wu River all hurried towards King City.
Palace.
Ghost Hall.
Although today there was the grand event of a battle between Summer Jiuyou and Ling Chen, most people in the Ghost Hall stayed behind to guard.
Ling Chen grabbed Summer Jiuyou and threw him at the entrance of Youling Palace.
"Ghost Guards, roll out to your king!"
Ling Chen bellowed.
Shaking the Ghost Hall as if it were an earthquake.
"Ah!"
"It’s Ling Chen!"
"Wasn’t he supposed to be executed by the King?"
"Look, who is that by the door...?"
"The King?!"
...
The cultivators inside the Ghost Hall looked terrified, as if they had been petrified with fear.
Their invincible king in their hearts had been thrown to the ground like a dead dog?
"Great lord, spare our lives!"
Soon, the Ghost Guards came to their senses.
One after another, they flew out of the Ghost Hall, kneeling before Ling Chen.
Including those few Ghost Divine Guards!
"Release everyone inside!"
Ling Chen commanded.
"Yes!"
The Ghost Divine Guards immediately got up and entered the Ghost Hall.
Dark Night Cultivators like Xing Xiuluo followed inside.
Before long, a group of frail cultivators was helped out.
These were all victims of Source Energy transplants.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling!"
As they emerged, they shrugged off the cultivators supporting them, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Ling Chen.
By the time they came out, they had already learned about the incident between Ling Chen and Summer Jiuyou.
"No need to be polite!"
Ling Chen waved his hand, and Divine Soul Telekinesis spread out, helping everyone to their feet.
Then, the cultivators took those people away to receive Healing Medicine.
Looking at the remaining eight Ghost Divine Guards, Ling Chen’s eyes grew cold, and eight Green Lotus Sword Qis emerged from within him, instantly killing the eight men.
Facing the Green Lotus Sword Qi, a King Spirit Technique, these eight cultivators at the ninth layer of Primordial Pill Realm had no chance to resist!
These were the culprits who had deprived others of their special physiques, so naturally, Ling Chen would not let them off.
"As for the others, just have someone watch over them for now!"
Ling Chen spoke up.
Ji Wuya nodded and immediately issued orders.
Meanwhile, the Family Heads of the seven major families stepped in, sealing these people’s cultivation.
How could they miss an opportunity to show their loyalty?
"Ling Xiuluo, come with me!"
Ling Chen, supporting his father, headed towards the Ghost Hall.
"Yes!"
Ling Xiuluo immediately followed him inside.
Following him was the pitiful figure of Xia Jiuyou, dragged along by Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Telekinesis like a dead dog!
Xia Jiuyou had stolen Ling Tianxing’s Sacred Body of Youling.
Before Xia Jiuyou’s death, Ling Chen intended to take back what originally belonged to his father.
"Ling Chen, what are you going to do?"
Xia Jiuyou cried out in fear.
This used to be his favorite place, for it signified being one step closer to possessing the Sacred Body!
Now, however, it had become a hell that terrified him to his core.
If Ling Chen really did that thing, he feared he’d be imprisoned for decades just like Ling Tianxing!
This was something he could never allow!
"Returning the stolen property to its rightful owner!"
Ling Chen’s voice sounded indifferent.
"No, no, I don’t want that, Ling Chen, I beg you, just kill me, please! Kill me!"
Xia Jiuyou howled in terror.
If Ling Chen planned to extract his Sacred Body’s Source Energy and transplant it into Ling Tianxing, he was going to suffer a fate worse than death for decades to come!
"I told you, it’s not time for you to die yet!"
Ling Chen’s voice was cold.
During his recent free time, Ling Chen had studied the Source Transfer Divine Skill left by the State Preceptor, a Divine Art for transferring special physiques!
With his soul power almost on par with a high-grade Divine Thought Master, the operation wasn’t too difficult.
Therefore, he also passed this Divine Art on to Ling Xiuluo.
Because the process required a very long time and several attempts, he feared he might be preoccupied at times, so he passed it to Ling Xiuluo, who could assist his father should Ling Chen be absent!
Deep within the Ghost Hall.
Ling Chen activated the Source Transfer Divine Skill, beginning to extract the Source Energy of the Sacred Body from Xia Jiuyou’s body!
Thread by thread, chaotic gas was drawn out and stored inside the Xuanyu Bottle.
Xuanyu Bottle, made of a special stone named Xuanyu.
Ling Chen didn’t create these items; there were plenty of them in the Ghost Hall.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
...
As the Source Energy was being extracted, Xia Jiuyou let out one blood-curdling scream after another!
Hearing such terrifying screams, Ling Chen’s eyes turned bloodshot.
He didn’t know how painful extracting Source Energy was, but he could guess from Xia Jiuyou’s screams.
His father, after all, had suffered the same agony!
And this agony occurred twelve times every year!
It even lasted for twenty years!
It was only after half an hour that Ling Chen stopped extracting the Source Energy!
During this process, Xia Jiuyou passed out from pain more than a dozen times.
Ling Chen dared not be negligent and immediately took out Healing Medicine to relieve Xia Jiuyou’s pain.
Xia Jiuyou could not die now!
"Ling Xiuluo, you should have a grasp on the Source Transfer Divine Skill by now, right? Give it a try!"
Ling Chen said.
"Okay!"
Ling Xiuluo hastily responded.
Then he also started to use the Source Transfer Divine Skill to extract Xia Jiuyou’s Source Energy!
Another half an hour passed before Ling Xiuluo stopped.
The first extraction of Source Energy is the most substantial.
This is the most critical step in transplanting physiques!
"Alright, we should have enough Source Energy now, let’s rest up a bit. We will start transplanting the physique to my father tomorrow at noon!"
Ling Chen announced.
"Understood."
Ling Xiuluo nodded.
Extracting Source Energy is not too difficult.
The challenge lies in transplanting the Source Energy into someone else’s body.
Next, the two continued to study the Source Transfer Divine Skill.
Preparing for tomorrow’s transplantation!
