An ancient building with a red opening door stood tall, complete with four doormen, all dressed in red with pale white corollaries and ghastly eyes. This magnificent all-red building was the residence of Fu Jiu Yun, the Vampire King. This building was behind the Ghost Valley Cave, not far from the Ghost Forest. It was in this place that the ghost king resided, along with a horde of other ghosts under his rule.
After their battle with Jin Long, the ghost king and his guards returned to the ghost kingdom, still curious about Jin Long's abilities. Fu Jiu suspected that Jin Long was a warrior from the Kaypang sect, which was a sect of beggars. The sect is divided into two categories: clean clothes and dirty clothes. What made Fu Jiu instantly curious was that seeing Jin Long's appearance like that of a beggar made him think of the sect.But until this moment, Fu Jiu still can't find the answer to his curiosity because the fight has not been completed. Jin Long has taken Zhang Xiang away, so inevitably he must immediately return to his Pavilion again.In this place, Fu Jiu sat on the seat of power with two concubines who kept pouring wine into a small gold-plated container. And the two concubines massaged his shoulders very painstakingly. Fu Jiu enjoyed the wine very quietly; even in this room, it was very quiet and peaceful; only the clinking of wine containers and teapots could be heard.Not long after, a young man in a red robe came in, handsome and with very pale white skin. His long, jet-black hair gave him a handsome, dashing look. The young man ran nervously towards Fu Jiu, shouting the name of the vampire ghost chief."Master... Master..."Fu Jiu just stared at the young man in front of him with a lazy gaze, not forgetting the container of directions still faithfully in his grasp."What's wrong?" asked Fu Jiu casually."I have something to tell Master," replied the young man as he caught his breath from running.This young man is Xiao Hua, Fu Jiu's younger brother, who has accompanied Fu Jiu for decades. From the time Xiao Hua couldn't speak until he learned to speak because of the master's teachings Their ages are very far apart, but when juxtaposed, the two of them are like friends because Fu Jiu's face has always been handsome, plus vampires can't age.Fu Jiua looked at his younger brother seriously. "Say it! Don't disturb my rest time!" He said it firmly.Xiao Hua nodded. "So while I was hunting rabbits in the forest, I overheard a villager talking about the same big meeting that the master had discussed in the past."Fu Jiu immediately furrowed his forehead. Trying to remember what meeting Xiao was talking about. He finally remembered. That made Fu Jiu put the container of wine on the table and stare with a serious expression at Xiao Hua."Isn't the meeting still long?"Xiao Hua shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Well, that was my question; I didn't think the meeting was still long, but after I heard the residents talk, it turns out that the meeting will be held in a few weeks.""Something doesn't seem right.""What's wrong, master?" asked Xiao Hua innocently.Suddenly, that made the master go berserk. "Tsk! You're so big; why do you have such a slow brain? Instead of you interfering, now gather the ghosts; we will hold a meeting in the basement to organize a strategy," Fu Jiu pleaded as he got up from his seat."Do we need to meditate?"Fu Jiu glared sharply. "Do as you're told first, and don't ask too many questions!"Xiao Hua choked as the cold, stern voice echoed through the room. The master would be very frightening if he issued a sentence with a stern tone like this. It's a sign that he's not in the mood for small talk, but sometimes the nosy and slow Xiao Hua is too curious and asks too many questions for the master, which makes Fu Jiu annoyed with him. Although Xiao Hua often gets angry with Fu Jiu, he never feels hurt or discouraged by his actions. Someday she will definitely do the same thing, with the same treatment from her master.Like what happened today, Xiao Hua rushed out of the master's room to look for the ghosts and have a meeting with the master. This made Xiao Hua feel annoyed every time she was asked to summon the ghosts who had nowhere to go because they did not continue to be in the cave, so it made it a little difficult. Even though there was a special code, there were still some ghosts who were deliberately assigned to come out.***Meanwhile, elsewhere in Hua San Mountain, Zhang Yong's uncle Zhang Xiang's residence was busy deploying bodyguards to look for Zhang Xiang's whereabouts. There were several bodyguards sent by the first uncle, plus several bodyguards sent by the second uncle, who were also searching. After Zhang Xiang's departure from the pavilion, they felt uneasy because they knew that their nephew could not defend himself, plus he had never been out before. This made the first uncle feel very worried about his nephew. Unlike the second uncle, who was looking for Zhang Xiang solely because he was worried about the Jade key that Zhang Xiang was carrying, many people were looking for the Jade key. This made the second uncle afraid that Zhang Xiang would hand over the key for nothing.Currently, the two of them are standing and walking back and forth in front of the seat of power. The main uncle felt uneasy; the anxiety of fearing that something would happen to Zhang Xiang haunted him."Big brother, the food is ready; don't you want to eat first?" The third uncle said this, suddenly approaching his two standing brothers."No! I'm worried about Zhang Xiang!""No! I'm worrying about Blue Gion!"They spoke simultaneously but with different arguments. Hearing that, the third uncle immediately frowned, as did the first uncle, who immediately turned his head to look at the second uncle."What do you mean? Aren't you worried about your nephew?" he asked seriously."Worried.""Then why did you say the blue jade key?""Zhang Xiang, I mean, he's the jade key holder; how could I not worry about him?""You're still a blue jade nut!" Said Zhang Yong sternly."Whatever, I'm too lazy to argue!" replied Han Ying, then waltzed out of the room.That made the first and third uncles shake their heads lightly. Apparently, Han Ying was still so crazy about the jade key that he forgot about his nephew's condition."He's always been selfish! I don't know how long it will take for him to change," Zhang Yong said.The third uncle patted his brother's shoulder lightly, smiling. "Leave him alone. As for Zhang Xiang's situation, just entrust it to the guards, confident that they will find Zhang Xiang soon!"Zhang Yong sighed softly. "I heard that a big meeting is about to take place. I'm just worried that if Zhang Xiang is not found soon, it will endanger him, especially since many people already know that the jade key is in Zhang Xiang's hands. If Zhang Xiang is not with us at the meeting, how can he protect himself? He can't defend himself," Zhang Yong said in a worried tone.Jing Beiyuan was silent as she absorbed sentence after sentence of her brother's worries about Zhang Xiang. It was true that the main topic in the big meeting of the battle between sects was Zhang Xiang, the jade key holder who would later decide who had the right to control the entire sect.Continued...

The sound of the seawater rustling gives a sense of tranquility. On the edge of the vast sea, in the dim night, two people are sitting under the moonlight. They are Zhang Xiang Zhe and Jin Long, both of whom are currently at the edge of the sea to anchor. They are sitting on small rocks in the cold air, under the moonlight, and beside a fire that provides warmth. As someone who chooses to live a wandering life, the cold has become his friend throughout the day, but not for Zhang Xiang Zhe, as he is currently sitting while hugging his knees.The cold pierced his thin pores; even though Jin Long's thick and wide robe had covered his body, the cold was still piercing. Zhang Xiang had also brought his body close to the campfire, hoping to provide warmth, but it was still the same. Maybe it's because he's too out in the open. There were many trees aroun
"Tonight I will help you heal the wound first; I am afraid that the wound will get worse," Fu Jiu said to Zhang Xiang.Zhang Xiang just nodded obediently, obeying the Vampire Valley chief's request. Xiang Hua helped Zhang Xiang sit on a bed, as they were now in an inn in a township in the city. Fu Jiu asked Zhang Xiang to take off his clothes for a moment so that he could treat in peace, after which Fu Jiu took out a cloth bag that he took from his pocket. Zhang Xiang did not know what was in the bag until a few seconds later, Fu Jiu took out three dried leaves from the bag. He then placed the three dried leaves into a container filled with water. Zhang Xiang watched every process Fu Jiu went through, not knowing what he was doing.After a few seconds, the dried leaves turned soft. Seeing that Fu Jiu's hand immediately grabbed the leaves and squeezed them, he only took the leaves to place them on the stab wound."Zhang Xiang, it might be a little painful, but try to hold it for a whil
After they had their meal together, Jin Long asked Zhang Xiang to buy something he needed for dinner tonight, so that he wouldn't have to go out again. For the next few days, Fu Jiu asks Jin Long to stay in his pavilion together. While Jin Long is eating roast pork with Fu Jiu, he asks Zhang Xiang and Xiang Hua to buy some groceries for dinner. Jin Long saw that the two of them had finished eating first, so he dared to ask them to go outside to get the supplies they needed.Before they left, Jin Long gave Xiang Hua a paper with a record of what they were going to buy, after which Fu Jiu gave Xiang Hua a bag of coins. After that, they went outside to look for some items they needed for dinner.Especially for tonight, Jin Long wanted to make roast meat and warm soup, so with a look at the ingredients Zhang Xiang and Xiang Hua immediately looked for a vendor that sold meat. On a paper with meat and spices written on it, the two of them worked together to find a meat vendor. Until after a
"Young master, do we need to escort you inside?"Zhang Xiang raised one of his hands up, signaling the bodyguards not to. Those who understood only bowed respectfully then left leaving Zhang Xiang right in front of the Pavilion.As soon as the bodyguards left, Zhang Xiang stepped into the pavilion as quickly as possible, fearing for his first uncle's well-being. But by the time he reached the connecting hallway to reach the uncle's room, Zhang Xiang's steps stopped right beside the second uncle's room. Seeing the door of the room open, he heard a conversation inside the room. However, the topic of conversation this time made Zhang Xiang a little interested, it made Zhang Xiang ventured to peek into the uncle's conversation.Zhang Xiang knew what he had done was wrong, but he really dared to do this because he was very curious. Peeking through the door, the second uncle was talking to the third uncle."Big brother, it's better if we fight together to defend this sect.""NO WAY!"Jing Be
Secret Room.During the fourteen years that Zhang Xiang lived in the mountain pavilion, Hua San had never once toured the rooms within the pavilion. It didn't make sense for such a large pavilion not to have many rooms, so Zhang Xiang wanted to know more about his father's greatness during his lifetime. He started to find out about his father by getting to know the private room that used to be his father's room.The last time he entered the room was when he was a child, when his father was seriously ill and died in the room. At the age of five, he could already see and remember the incident clearly, so that every time Zhang Xiang walked past the room, he immediately remembered the incident where his father was dying on the bed, not only the pain caused by the disease he suffered, but the bad treatment of a criminal who until now was still an enigma, because Zhang Xiang could not remember the man's face clearly.Zhang Xiang entered the room hesitantly, until a few seconds later he pulle
The sun was beating down on the heads of the three men who were still wandering around the Jiangnan public market, all the groceries were in hand, but the three of them still hadn't returned to the inn. Seeing the outside world in a crowd like this is an amazing thing, especially for Jin Long who had never been out at all before. His goal of traveling for fun has now been fulfilled one by one, from staying in a place far away from the war to going to the market to buy food.Before Jin Long decided to travel, he was a king who led a sect in the land of Five Flower Lake. The leader was very arrogant and respected by many people. Every warrior and sect leader recognized Jin Long, who was famous for the white sword that was his symbol, and the eighteen-tread celestial dragon stance that was only shown when he was facing a major battle with an enemy twice his rank. But after deciding to travel, Jin Long himself wanted to forget his arrogant and murderous past. He was tired of living a life
Second uncle and third uncle were still busy discussing to organize a strategy for the big meeting later. At the big meeting there would definitely be a lot of leaders from various kingdoms, and definitely from various sects. It was not possible if there was no involvement of quarrels between them, wars would definitely occur. Therefore, they must prepare everything carefully, including organizing strategies so that they can be on guard when there are other sects attacking them. Right now, the responsibility of the Hua San Mountain Sect is the heaviest because of what? Since they are the ones who hold the jade key, having Zhang Xiang as the jade key holder is a victory.However, their task is not to seize anymore, but to defend the key that is already in their grasp. All the sect leaders already knew that Zhang Xiang was the key holder, so his whereabouts were now highly sought after. It would definitely be very dangerous for Zhang Xiang who is blind in martial arts. Inevitably hiding
"Hah! Uncle!" Zhang Xiang said in surprise.The third uncle who caught Zhang Xiang in the room immediately frowned as he looked Zhang Xiang up and down."What are you doing here?" he asked in an interrogating tone.Zhang Xiang was stunned to hear the question. But he quickly normalized his expression so as not to look like someone who was lying. He didn't want anyone to know about the secret room he had discovered a few hours ago. Zhang Xiang immediately put the jade key necklace into his pocket without third uncle's knowledge."I didn't do anything, I was just curious about this room, why is it always closed? In the fourteen years I have lived here, I have never seen anyone open this room," he lied.The third uncle turned his head towards the secret room in front of them. Then he swiped at the worn brown ancient carved door. The third uncle stared at the door with a sad look. Just as they were about to answer Zhang Xiang's question, there was a sudden noise coming from outside. This m
The next day, Zhang Xiang was surprised by how crowded the Hua San Mountain Temple was. He had just woken up to go to the temple to wash his body and get some food for his uncle and Xiao Hua, but instead he saw a lot of people gathered in the main hall which was usually used for inter-sect meetings. Zhang Xiang was curious about the event, so he chose to go inside and look for the temple servants. There he saw that they were busy preparing the banquet, they were also cooking a big meal. Not just servants, but warriors and royal soldiers were busy removing his father's historical statues. Zhang Xiang actually wanted to know more, but remembering that his uncle and Xiao Hua were still sleeping in the temple, he immediately went to meet them.By the time Zhang Xiang had just arrived in front of the temple, uncle Yebaiyi suddenly called out his name. Apparently they had all woken up, and now they were tidy as if they had just taken a bath. Zhang Xiang immediately ran over to them."Uncle,
"Xiao Hua, why did uncle take so long to return? Did you find the hanging ghost?""I don't know Fen Lian, maybe uncle is trying to find the hanging ghost. To be honest, I'm also very disappointed with him because the master has been trying to be kind to the hanging ghost, and I also know that the master is actually a good leader, always complying with his disciple's requests. It's just that the hanging ghost took advantage of the master's kindness for his own interests, I really didn't expect it," Xiao Hua said feeling disappointed.Zhang Xiang patted Xiao Hua's shoulder lightly. He knew what was going through Xiao Hua's mind right now, but what the heck, everything had already happened. No one wants to be betrayed by their own troops, but in reality, it happened."Calm down Xiao Hua, everything will definitely be fine. Leave everything to uncle.""You'll see when I meet the hanging ghost, I'll make sure he dies by my hand!" Xiao Hua said angrily to the hanging ghost.It wasn't long b
"Never mind, it's useless for you to fight and accomplish nothing. Besides, shouldn't Jin Long trust Fu Jiu since you know each other so well?" Uncle Yebaiyi asked them all."How can I trust him when I've seen with my own eyes and head that his ghost is performing disturbing acts in other people's temples," Jin Long said, still annoyed with Fu Jiu.That made Fu Jiu shake his head lightly. "Whatever you say Jin Long, I don't want to get into trouble with you anymore! I just want to live peacefully and have many friends, if it was me who asked for the hanging ghost I wouldn't be here right now!"Jin Long fell silent. Indeed, what Fu Jiu said is true, if it was him who did everything, Fu Jiu would be monitoring there, even if he didn't do anything, he would be watching his troops. But he wasn't there at all, so his suspicion of Fu Jiu might not be true."Let's not make a fuss, I'm sick of hearing these insignificant arguments! I ask you to forget about all this and now all we have to do
"Feel this Jin Long!""Arrrgghhtt!!!""Damn it! You won't be able to kill me Fu Jiu! Believe me!" Jin Long said as he got back up."Oh yeah? I won't hesitate to make you die in my hands right now!" Fu Jiu said as he gripped his hands tightly.Soon the nails became long, and definitely very poisonous. Just like the ghost army with long and poisonous nails that had attacked Zhang Xiang back then, Fu Jiu also had those nails. Suddenly Jin Long bulged his eyes, he knew about these nails that they were very dangerous and could even kill people. But the person who has left will become a ghost just like him."Don't blame me if you will feel more pain than the pain of seven nails!" Fu Jiu said, pointing his hands at Jin Long.Fu Jiu started pointing his hands while bringing his body closer to Jin Long. While Jin Long himself was getting ready to face Fu Jiu who was about to make the attack on him, the two eyes met and both glowed with anger. Just as Fu Jiu was about to slice into Jin Long's c
"Jin Long! Watch what you say! I never ordered any hanging ghosts!""I don't believe it! There is no history of a perpetrator admitting his guilt," Jin Long replied firmly.Fu Jiu, who felt that he was being accused by Jin Long, clenched his hands hard, and stared at him with a fierce gaze. His patience is now so thin that every word that comes out of Jin Long's lips is like a burning ember that can make him feel burned by the fire of anger. It was the same feeling as when she first met Jin Long, a feeling of anger and hatred. And now for the umpteenth time she felt that disappointment again toward Jin Long.He had been known as an evil and cruel ghost because of his ability to control humans or demons. Even killing and turning ordinary people into ghosts just like her was a common thing for her. But after meeting Jin Long everything changed. From being the king of heartlessness, he has now become a kind-hearted ghost who cares about others."Fu Jiu, you better be honest with me now o
"Where is the hanging ghost?" asked Master Fu Jiu to the mourning ghost who was sitting on his bench."Sorry master, we don't know where he went, but we haven't seen him since yesterday," he said.F u Jiu was silent for a moment wondering about the whereabouts of the hanging ghost who had disappeared since receiving his punishment. Initially, he wanted to exterminate one of his ghosts, because he had made a fatal mistake. Betrayal cannot be forgiven, there is only one punishment he must receive, namely the death penalty. However, the grief ghost and others felt sorry if the hanging ghost had to be destroyed, so they helped in the treatment of internal injuries given by Fu Jiu.Fu Jiu has received everything well, including the treatment of the hanging ghost. But now he is now angered by him again because he has disappeared without saying goodbye to him. Moreover, many ghosts did not know the existence of this hanging ghost."Mourning ghost, go out and look for the hanging ghost until
"Do you have the jade key?""Is it uncle?" Asked Zhang Xiang as he reached for the blue jade key in his hand.Uncle Yebaiyi stared at the object in his hand. After that, he took the object from Zhang Xiang's hand, while Zhang Xiang himself had no problem with everything, he happily handed it over to the Yebaiyi uncle. Then he looked intently at the object that was already in his hand."The thing that many people are fighting over," he murmured softly.After that, Yebaiyi uncle gave the object back to Zhang Xiang and put it back on as the pendant of the necklace."Is the key genuine?" Uncle Jin Long asked.Yebaiyi uncle nodded. "That's right, it is genuine. Have you been to the martial arts storehouse?" Asked the uncle.Zhang Xiang shook his head innocently. "Never uncle, I don't even know where it is. I also didn't initially believe that this necklace was the jade key that people were looking for," he said innocently."From now on, take good care of the jade key. There's no need to go
"Who are you?""First uncle, it's better for you to rest now before we treat the wound on your chest."The first uncle dismissed Zhang Xiang's hand roughly. Suddenly, Zhang Xiang gasped in shock at his first uncle's rude action."What do you mean, uncle? Why are you pushing me away?" he asked.The first uncle looked at uncle Yebaiyi and uncle Jin Long with a displeased look, his face changed when uncle Yebaiyi pulled out the sharp object stuck in his chest earlier. Meanwhile, Uncle Yebaiyi and Jin Long, who heard this, remained silent while looking at the first uncle casually. After that, the first uncle clenched his hands tightly."How many times has uncle told you not to be friends with random people!"Zhang Xiang frowned. "So what?" he asked."Zhang Xiang, it's better to treat your uncle's wound first, afraid of infection later," said uncle Jin Long interjected.Zhang Xiang nodded. "Uncle-""Stop Zhang Xiang! I don't need your help!""But uncle-""Who are they? Why are you with the
"Damn demons!" Zhang Xiang screeched boldly."Brave little boy, I just want that jade key if you are willing to give it then I won't bother you anymore and I will release your first uncle, but if you still insist on keeping the key then be prepared to lose him forever,"Zhang Xiang was silent for a while. Until an action that managed to astonish him was the first uncle who received a sudden attack that made him shocked. A sharp object managed to pierce the first uncle's chest."Arrhh!!! First uncle!" Zhang Xiang shrieked loudly.The first uncle seemed to endure the pain until Zhang Xiang's hands were clenched perfectly while displaying his sharp gaze towards the enraged scorpion demon. But a few seconds later a hand managed to grab his wrist, as he turned his head it was the first uncle who grabbed his hand with difficulty."Uncle,"The first uncle smiled. Soon the scorpion demon looked down at himself with a satisfied smile at the sight of the tormented first uncle."Once again I giv
