Chapter 411: Chapter 155: The True Six Daos of Reincarnation, Summoning the Ghost King! _3
It was as though he was speaking to the air, his voice sudden and eerie.
But in the next moment, something miraculous happened.
As soon as Chen Chang’an’s words fell, in the sky above Dragon Sealing Village, streams of black smoke immediately surged forth from the limitless heaven and earth.
After that, this smoke traveled at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to track, quickly reaching Chen Chang’an’s side and finally gathering into a mass.
When the smoke dissipated, a silhouette appeared before Chen Chang’an.
This was an old man dressed in cloth garments, his white hair flying, his appearance rather sharp.
"Sky Cloud Ghost King [Sky Cloud Ghost King], greeting, sir."
As soon as the old man appeared, he immediately greeted Chen Chang’an with solemn respect.
[Sky Cloud Ghost King] did not know who the man before his eyes actually was, or what this man had summoned him for, but at this moment, his heart was trembling to the extreme.
In the entire imperial court of Emperor Song, the number of people who knew how to summon their class of Ghost Kings and were eligible to do so had never exceeded a handful.
The two great Yins, Black and White Impermanence, [Chi Mei] and [You Huang], as well as the supreme [Emperor Song]!
Five individuals in total!
Now, to the best of [Sky Cloud Ghost King]’s knowledge, among the four in the imperial court of Emperor Song, [Chi Mei] and [You Huang] had already returned to the boundless Netherworld.
Only the two, [Black and White Impermanence], remained in the Wuxiang realm.
He had the opportunity to meet [Black and White Impermanence] some years ago.
He was certain that the man before him was not either of them.
So, when all these are ruled out, the identity of this man was apparent.
This... Is this Emperor Song himself?!
"Are you the Ghost King of Sky Cloud City?" Chen Chang’an looked at the Sky Cloud Ghost King and asked. His voice was filled with magnetism.
"Yes, sir...Sir, I am...what are your orders, sir?"
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s magnetic voice, [Sky Cloud Ghost King] couldn’t hold back anymore.
If his guess about Chen Chang’an’s identity had been speculative before, at this moment, he was now convinced without a doubt.
Is this actually Emperor Song himself?!
In an instant, [Sky Cloud Ghost King] was stupefied, truly frightened.
What was Emperor Song’s status, and what was his own?
Although he could rule the roost in Sky Cloud Nation, in front of this figure, he was nothing!
To put it bluntly, even a random errand boy by this man’s side held a higher status than him!
Normally, the highest rank he could approach within Emperor Song’s imperial court would have been the two Yinsu, Black and White Impermanence, and even that rarely.
Theoretically speaking, his little Sky Cloud would never receive personal visits from such important figures like Emperor Song in one lifetime.
But right now, Emperor Song has come, and so suddenly at that.
What was he here for, what had happened in his little Sky Cloud Nation to warrant the presence of such an important figure?
Could it be that in recent days, he unknowingly violated some taboo of this important figure and now he wants to make an example of me?
In an instant, thinking about this, [Sky Cloud Ghost King]’s cold sweat was trickling down, he was lowering his head, frantically avoiding Chen Chang’an’s gaze.
He was genuinely afraid that seeing Chen Chang’an’s true face would mean certain death!
He truly understood the essence of the saying "man sits still at home, but calamity comes from the sky".
"Quite smart to have guessed who I am," Chen Chang’an said, looking at the trembling [Sky Cloud Ghost King] and nodding faintly.
"Ah, mercy...! Mercy, sir!"
"Mercy, sir!.. I, I didn’t mean to guess, I beg for your mercy, sir."
Hearing what Chen Chang’an said, [Sky Cloud Ghost King] instantly cringed in fear, pleading and whimpering.
However, the words that came next from Chen Chang’an had no intent of killing:
"[Sky Cloud Ghost King], from today on, you will serve as the sixth official for me in my court and protect a person for me."
"Sir, may I ask who I am to protect?" Sky Cloud Ghost King asked cautiously.
He couldn’t understand who could be so important that it would warrant such interest from this important figure.
"Her."
At that moment, Li Ling’er just happened to come into sight, and Chen Chang’an pointed at her to show the Sky Cloud Ghost King.
"Ah! Her?"
Seeing where Chen Chang’an was pointing, Sky Cloud Ghost King was immediately stunned.
He had considered a thousand possible identities of the person Chen Chang’an wanted him to protect, but he never thought it would be an ordinary mortal.
This was truly unexpected.
"Yes, sir," But no matter how unexpected, Sky Cloud Ghost King dared not object. He immediately bowed with utmost respect.
"Remember, if she lives, you live, if she dies, you die," said Chen Chang’an calmly. But his calm words carried an immeasurable authority.
"Yes, sir...!" Where would the Sky Cloud Ghost King dare to utter a word of refusal?
Sky Cloud Ghost King left.
Two days later, Chen Chang’an also proposed his farewell to Li Ling’er.
"What? Li Bai, you’re leaving already?"
Li Ling’er was quite puzzled by Chen Chang’an’s departure.
Chen Chang’an nodded:
"Yes, I originally was just out for a wander. Now that my travel is done, it’s time to head back."
"Oh," Li Ling’er nodded.
