80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled-Chapter 50: Mountain Ghost's Evil Act

Looking at the regretful Lin Tianyuan, Lin Jiufeng thought of a sentence.

[People only regret their decision when they are sober.]

Lin Tianyuan was obviously sober by now.

He had reverted back to his obedient self.

Mentioning the Livestock-Making Technique and Skin-Painting Technique, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. His resentment towards the Mountain Ghost Race soared to the peak.

The Mountain Ghost Race must die.

Especially that mastermind—Lord Mountain Ghost.

"Since you already have the relevant information with you, then you'll be in charge of finding this Lord Mountain Ghost. Investigate everything thoroughly and kill those that deserved to die."

"This matter that almost forced the Yuhua God Dynasty into chaos cannot be allowed to happen a second time," Lin Jiufeng coldly said.

He had previously said that he wouldn't help Lin Tianyuan.

He would let Lin Tianyuan walk his own path.

This time, Lin Tianyuan made a mistake.

And Lin Jiufeng helped him correct that mistake.

But this didn't mean that Lin Jiufeng would help him take revenge.

There was an abundance of Martial Sages in the Yuhua God Dynasty and the territory under his control was vast. Lin Tianyuan had also considerably calmed down by now. In that case, wouldn't it be easy for him to hunt down the members of the Mountain Ghost Race?

"I understand. I will handle this matter appropriately. I won't dare to trouble Uncle again."

Lin Tianyuan nodded sensibly.

"Uncle, I shall take my leave!" Lin Tianyuan got up and left.

He knew that Lin Jiufeng didn't want to be disturbed.

After sharing the inside story of this matter, he left.

Next, he was going to massacre the Mountain Ghost Race.

In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng looked at Lin Tianyuan's departing figure and nodded in satisfaction.

"He has indeed matured a lot."

The blow that he had suffered this time was huge.

To Lin Tianyuan, it instantly dispelled his childishness, his fantasies, and his ego.

He had truly matured after suffering under such a heavy hand.

He was determined to take his own revenge.

Meow!

The white cat called out and nodded.

It also felt that Lin Tianyuan had truly matured.

"It's just that the price of maturity is often very heavy."

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at Lin Tianyuan's predicament.

Lin Jiufeng's attitude towards Lin Tianyuan was cold because he expected better from him.

However, Lin Jiufeng was Emperor Yuan's son and his nephew after all.

Lin Jiufeng's heart ached for Lin Tianyuan too after he encountered such a shocking truth.

…

With Emperor Ming's sudden epiphany about his mistakes, he managed to correct the churning chaos in time. Fortunately, the disturbance that he caused within the Imperial Capital never shook the foundations of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was still the same as before—the same massive dynasty.

But when this massive machine operated, the energy that erupted from it was terrifying.

It was a calamity for the Mountain Ghost Race.

The mountain ghosts that had just been born and were wandering in the forest were captured and interrogated strictly.

In just a few days, they lost many of their own kind.

This made Lord Mountain Ghost—who was planning on plotting against the Yuhua God Dynasty—unable to stand still.

He knew that Concubine Ming must have been exposed and she had confessed everything.

The Yuhua God Dynasty's actions of going all out to exterminate the Mountain Ghost Race was something that he had never expected.

In a room within the Imperial Capital, an old man was reading a secret letter.

Contained within the letter were the events that happened in the Forbidden City within the past few days.

It was much more detailed than the rumors, causing Lord Mountain Ghost to frown.

"I thought that this move would be able to deal with the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty without anyone knowing about the truth. Afterwards, I would then be able to control the Emperor and force him to provide welfare for my Mountain Ghost Race."

"It's a pity that all my efforts ended up in smokes. I'm already at the step of abolishing the Empress, just how did the plan fail?"

"Could it be that the Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty interfered?"

"But the skin bag that I gave to Mei Niang for the Livestock-Making Technique was made by our ancestor. Even a Human God couldn't possibly see through it so easily."

"Mei Niang is one of the best among my Mountain Ghost Race. She won't give herself away. I just didn't expect that she would fail when it was about time to reap the benefits."

The old man was remorseful.

His face looked gloomy and terrifying amidst the flickering light of the lamp.

He had never imagined even in her wildest dreams that Mei Niang herself would be the one to reveal herself by removing her disguise to take a breather. Coincidentally, all of these were done under Lin Jiufeng's watchful eyes too.

All of my efforts down the drain!

But if Lord Mountain Ghost knew about what truly unfolded that night, he would definitely vomit a mouthful of blood in anger.

He moved away from the illumination of the light.

In the darkness, his wrinkles were deep.

He wore rough hemp clothes and a look was enough to tell that he was a poor commoner living at the bottom of society.

He was part of a very poor family with nothing but an old man remaining in the family.

This old man became the target of Lord Mountain Ghost for his Livestock-Making Technique.

From then on, the family had a new dog.

Beneath the old man's skin was Lord Mountain Ghost, while the original old man lived inside that tied-up dog.

As for the meat beneath the skin of that dog?

Lord Mountain Ghost had already consumed it.

Just like that, he managed to successfully stay in the Imperial Capital.

Then, he remote-controlled Mei Niang and manipulated everything from behind the scenes.

But now that the Yuhua God Dynasty had discovered this matter, he prepared to pack up and leave.

But now that the Yuhua God Dynasty was now cognizant of this matter, he prepared to pack up and leave with his deductions in mind.

"The plan's failure was caused by the Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty. He is just too powerful and he saw through Lady Mei's disguise. Now that the Mountain Ghost Race is in trouble, it will be too difficult for me to save them."

"I have to ask the ancestor to stop the Yuhua God Dynasty from killing them all." Lord Mountain Ghost remained strangely calm under all of these. He seemed to know what he should do, and what he shouldn't do.

The plan had failed.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was now on their guard.

He must leave now.

Lord Mountain Ghost took off his outer clothes in front of the tied-up dog.

Beneath the clothes was the skin of a very old man.

The dog whimpered. It cried, but it couldn't make a sound.

On closer look, its tongue had been sliced off.

After removing his skin, Lord Mountain Ghost revealed his true appearance.

His true visage was a mountain spirit that looked like a wild monkey.

His body was thin and shriveled.

This was also the reason why he chose to target the elderly.

After all, there was no need for him to change into anything because their physique suited him.

His cultivation was not that bad—at the Martial Sage Realm.

His entire body was black.

His arms were long and his claws were also black.

His eyes were blood-red. It made him look like a malicious ghost.

"I've occupied your house for quite some time now, and I am returning it to you."

"I'll also leave your very own skin bag here. Put it back on if you have the ability to do so," Lord Mountain Ghost said to the dog.

He laughed evilly. "I forgot to tell you…"

"All these years, the owners of the skin bags that I have chosen after executing the Livestock-Making Technique were all killed."

"But you are the first one to survive…"

"Even I—do not have the heart to kill someone who is already so old. Just take it that I am accumulating good karma. You must thank me for this."

The dog whimpered and looked angrily at Lord Mountain Ghost.

"You were originally going to die. But now that I've stitched you together with this dog, you have more than a decade in extra years to live. Thank me for it."

Lord Mountain Ghost chuckled before he turned around and left in a hurry.

He wanted to find the ancestor of the Mountain Ghost Race and make the Yuhua God Dynasty give up on their pursuit against the Mountain Ghost Race.

His body clad entirely in black, he left the Imperial Capital using the night as his veil.

The next day, the dog forcefully broke free from the ropes and ran to the streets.

It shed bloody tears non-stop as it wrote with its claws.

The old man didn't recognize many words, but he stubbornly wrote them out.

Some of them were written wrongly, and some couldn't be understood at all.

He was so anxious that bloody tears kept falling down his cheeks.

One after another, people helped him complete this bloody letter.

And this blood letter spread throughout the Imperial Capital.

Countless people found out what Lord Mountain Ghost had done.

Shock!

Anger!

The anger of the masses was instantly ignited.

The crowd's emotions surged.

They pulled the Mountain Ghost Race, a race that had disappeared for 1,500 years and was assumed to be extinct, into the limelight.

Fifteen minutes later, a bloody letter appeared on Lin Tianyuan's table.

When Lin Tianyuan saw it, he flew into a rage and ordered a strict investigation.

It was only then that he discovered that Lord Mountain Ghost had been hiding in the Imperial Capital all this time and he had escaped last night.

But before he left, he even harmed an innocent old man.
