No-Man’s Cemetery Valley’s Procession

Standing beneath a swaying green canopy, nine wood demons waited for Mu Yu’s pivotal answer. As flashes of white and black qi left Mu Yu’s eyes, he finally responded, “I know what I must do now.”

Tree Elder shifted his hands to his rear and showed consolation on his face. “We will be waiting for you. We don’t like war, and we don’t want to be forced into fighting. To revive Eternally Youthful Ku Mu, you must preserve his soul. I suggest you make a trip to Ghost Island as it is a terrific place to nurture souls. That is the very reason Ghost Gate wants to go there.

“I noticed Wood Spirit has recovered from a lot of its wounds; absorbing soul energy can heal it. I didn’t harm Ghost Gate’s members after I rescued you because I am of the opinion that you should use them as nourishment for Wood Spirit.

“Take these three Bodhi leaves. If you ever find yourself in danger, inject your spiritual energy into a leaf, and it will morph into a five elements release to help you escape. By the same account, you can also use it to find me based on my qi link to them.

“Our intelligence tells us that lots of Ghost Gates members have come to Moyun Mountains; be careful not to get yourself in a similar situation again.”

Tree Elder bid farewell with an amiable nod and left with his group.

“Tree Elder appears to be a gentleman,” commented the dragon vine.

“You have my vote. You reckon elemental demons taste good?” Xiaoshuai asked.

Chen Erzhuang always wondered who would pen his eulogy when he passed away.

“Ladies and gentlemen, even though we are escorting Elder Zhao with heavy hearts, we should feel happy that he enjoyed a long life and that his descendants are all filial. Just as the tree wants to stop swaying, his descendants have lost the chance to repay him despite their wish to do so. It truly is sad that fate has taken him from us. The living must live on. Elder Zhao will continue to watch over you and your descendants from above. Let us bid him farewell now. Elder Zhao, rest in peace. It is now time to send him on his way.”

Four clerks working for Chen Erzhuang carried up the coffin and pushed it into the bottomless valley. As per Chen Erzhuang’s instructions, Elder Zhao’s descendants rushed to the edge of the valley and wailed at the top of their lungs. It was an effective way of ensuring people wouldn’t call them heartless.

Suddenly, Elder Zhao’s descendants bolted back, screaming in panic. Bemused, Chen Erzhuang looked over to see what the fuss was. To his shock, he witnessed Elder Zhao’s coffin levitate back up and exude a sinister aura. Everyone started screeching frantically, but the invisible energy chained them in place.

Elder Zhao cracked a wicked smile and opened his eyes. For some reason, his eyes were pitch black. “You cried for me to come back, didn’t you? Why are you all so scared? Kekekeke.”

“D-Dad, you should go.”

“First Brother and Second Brother are trying to take your property. I wanted to def-”

“Shut up, liar! You were the one who was ecstatic to hear Dad had passed away!”

“In that case, why don’t you three come join me in hell, my sons?”

Scream as they may, Elder Zhao shrouded them in ghost qi and sucked their souls out to devour. He licked his lips and told everyone present, “I shall be taking all the souls of Zhao Clan now, kekeke.”
