Chapter 909 -909: Join the Battle Group!
Huang Xiaolong was certain that the middle-aged man before him, dressed in a white dragon robe adorned with a five-clawed dragon and brimming with an aura of immortality, was indeed Zheng He—the main character of the mural he had seen in the mansion on the Bermuda solitary island!
Huang Xiaolong craftily deceived a mermaid girl into marriage, then led his men to capture the entire Mermaid Clan in one fell swoop when their guard was down, and ruthlessly cooked and devoured them!
What a ruthless character indeed!
The depth of his cunning and the venom of his schemes were simply beyond the power of words to describe.
The mermaid girl’s intention emitted heart-wrenching cries of agony. “That’s it! Please~~ please~~ please avenge our Mermaid Clan!”
“Alright, I get it. Since it has shown itself, it can’t escape… hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong reassured the mermaid girl’s strand of desperate obsession with his mental voice.
‘Indeed, an entire body of ghostly qi has already been completely transformed into immortal qi… without a doubt, a Ghost Immortal, almost capable of crushing all the present Ghost Kings single-handedly…’ Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly. ‘Of course, that Xu lurking in the shadows probably wouldn’t be afraid of Zheng He.’
Upon Zheng He’s arrival, all the ghosts and fierce spirits at the scene, including the Ghost Kings, exhibited a profound fear and awe.
This was… an instinctive reaction!!
Even the Ghost King of Fozhou City, Monk Yizhen, who had just stood up to rebut, collapsed dejectedly, tremblingly counting his prayer beads with his dried-up ghostly hand, and muttered gloomily, “Indeed… indeed it is… indeed the realm of a Ghost Immortal… it turns out that there really are Ghost Immortals in this world… Amitabha, too formidable to provoke~~~”
Many of the fierce ghosts who had sought to show off and stir up trouble had no choice but to calm down, not daring to overstep any longer.
You see, the difference between a Ghost King and a Ghost Immortal is only a rank, but it might as well be the difference between heaven and earth!
A Ghost Immortal is akin to having ascended, joining the ranks of the immortals, their strength not inferior to some deities!
In the present-day Huaxia, there were actually quite a number of Ghost Kings, but no Ghost Immortal had yet been discovered. For a Ghost King to ascend to the status of a Ghost Immortal was exceedingly difficult, perhaps even harder than reaching the heavens.
To put it in an analogy, it was like thousands of Ghost Kings crossing a single-plank bridge, and at the end, perhaps only one could become a Ghost Immortal! A sole survivor! Or there might even be none at all!
Therefore, the moment Zheng He made an appearance, and merely by dispersing a trace of immortal qi, he was able to instantly suppress the scene. Not even extra words needed to be spoken, and nearly all the fierce spirits and Ghost Kings present conceded defeat, giving off a sense of submission.
On Huang Xiaolong’s side, several demoness mothers were sending voice messages to Huang Xiaolong—
“Young Master, this guy is very strong. He has immortal qi on his body, stronger than us.”
Indeed, Zheng He’s strength exceeded that of the fox demoness mother, the snake demoness mother, the yellow-skinned ancestress, the hedgehog Dean Zha, and other such great demons.
“Don’t rush, the show has just begun… Let’s take our time to enjoy it,” Huang Xiaolong said to everyone with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“Hahahahahaha~~~~” Zheng He laughed heartily, his face displaying an exuberant manner reminiscent of when he had successfully tricked the Mermaid Clan and devoured their flesh. “Ladies and gentlemen! In my lifetime, I traversed back and forth commanding respect, with lofty ambitions. Hundreds of years ago, I had already dominated overseas! Even in death and becoming a ghost, my aspirations have not faded! This time, coming back to Zhongtu from overseas, I intend to lead you all to re-establish order in the world of the living! Those living people, with nothing in their heads but fat and folly, weak and incompetent, by what virtue and ability do they deserve to monopolize the human realm?”
At this moment, Zheng He was like an emperor delivering a stirring speech, filled with provocative power.
“When I was human, I had resolved to unify the world, bring peace to all under heaven, and be crowned as emperor!” Zheng He’s presence became overwhelmingly domineering!
‘Pff~~~’ Huang Xiaolong scoffed, ‘Oh, I see. When he was alive, he was always dreaming of being an emperor, haha~~ Knowing that eating the flesh of the Mermaid Clan could grant him immortality, he took the risk…’
Zheng He continued, “Alas, when I was human, the heaven’s ways were unjust, and my lofty aspirations went unfulfilled! But after I became a ghost, yet to report to the underworld, I cultivated overseas and finally achieved enlightenment! With a ghostly body, I accomplished an immortal form—unique in this world! This time, I will complete the great undertaking of a thousand years! I hope you will support me wholeheartedly! After I establish a ghost nation and claim the throne, all of you present will be Great Generals, Prime Ministers, Councilors of State, Imperial Censors~~~hahahahaha…”
Zheng He erupted into a hysterical laugh.
Many fierce spirits at the scene, including the Ghost Kings, roared along, “Establish the ghost nation! Establish the ghost nation! Establish the ghost nation!”
Suddenly, Zheng He signaled with his hand, and all the noise ceased.
He indeed had the air, perfectly controlling the atmosphere and pace of the scene.
“In this age of dharma decline, with the extinction of the underworld and the fall of the gods, a ghost nation must rise!” Zheng He’s eyes sparkled with vigor. “You need not fear anything now, even within the underworld, not a single lowly ghost envoy can be found. There is no longer anything to stop our plans! I volunteer myself as your leader. I ask that you recognize me as your Lord! Of course, in our world of ghosts, strength is honored! Should there be any dissenters, feel free to step forth to challenge! I will not reject any comers!”
As he spoke, Zheng He’s intent swept across the scene like a storm.
This sweeping intent served two purposes: firstly, Zheng He was surveying the true nature of the ghosts present to see if anything else untoward had infiltrated their ranks.
Secondly, it was to exert psychological pressure on the multitude of ghosts present.
Huang Xiaolong and others camouflaged themselves perfectly, leaving no flaw for Zheng He to discover.
Huang Xiaolong had also observed subtly that the Xu had not been detected by Zheng He’s scrutiny.
Subsequently, in the minds of the fierce spirits present, a colossal being appeared, pointing to the heavens and stomping on the earth, seemingly invincible—the image of the Ghost Immortal Zheng He!
On the faces of the fierce spirits present, and in their ghostly eyes, the color of submission intensified, and even the ferociously cruel Ghost King like Monk Yizhen dared not utter a sound.
After a long while, Zheng He proudly declared, “Gentlemen, with me as your Lord, as the emperor among ghosts, I presume, there are no objections now, right?”
Dead silence!
Atop the mountain, only the desolate and mournful wind was raging.
“Good! I am honored by your support, and I shall definitely lead you in dominating the world of the living, reshaping the rules of this world!” Zheng He smirked, greed flashing in his eyes, an expression far from human. “Now, I still require a few capable generals, my left and right arms… Those present may compete to see who can become my confidant.”
With that, the spirits and fierce ghosts were all exhilarated.
Well then, even if they couldn’t become the emperor of ghosts, they could still vie for the position of “highest-ranking official”!
A sly look appeared in Zheng He’s eyes as he continued to stir up excitement. “I am clear with rewards and punishments. These past centuries, my looting overseas has been quite fruitful. I will not mistreat my confidants~~ Compete, show me who is more worthy of becoming my left and right arms. As for rewards, various magical treasures, ghost talismans, and rare natural resources will not be lacking.”
“Good, good, Amitabha~~~ This poor monk must contend for the position of Prime Minister in the ghost nation,” Monk Yizhen squealed bizarrely, his body engulfed in ghostly qi, transforming into thousands of ghost faces.

The other fierce ghosts and ghost kings also readied themselves.
Zheng He’s subordinates conjured a tiger-skin Taishi Chair out of ghostly qi, inviting Zheng He to take a seat.
Zheng He sat down majestically with an air of arrogance. “As ghosts, we need not be as concerned with the cumbersome formalities like humans. Win my favor with your strength and tactics.”
“Kekeke~~ My lord! The position of highest-ranking official in the ghost nation is mine for the taking! Kekeke~~” A gaunt old ghost, with a mouth full of black teeth and ghostly white eyes, suddenly floated forward.
This ghost was a ghost king, and suddenly, chilling black qi burst forth from its ghostly form, like whips crackling and twining around some of the blue-clothed and purple-clothed fierce ghosts. Without a word, it twisted and pulverized them instantly, their ghostly blood splattering and souls scattering, killed on the spot.
“Kekeke~~~” The gaunt old ghost extended a crimson ghost tongue, swirling it around to catch the ghost bodies of the killed fierce ghosts, crunching and gnawing on them in a spectacle of extreme horror and depravity.
Many fierce ghosts screamed and fled in panic, avoiding the fray. Zheng He just snickered darkly, making no move to intervene.
“This poor monk would also like to join the excitement,” declared the ghost king from Fozhou City, Fozhou’s most vicious ghost, Monk Yizhen from the Empty Mountain Temple, rising up at his leisure.
“I’ll join!”
“I’ll join!”
“I’m in!”
…
Suddenly, more than ten ghost kings stood up.
“Good, engage in combat one-on-one,” Zheng He chuckled with satisfaction. “It seems my subordinates do include many mighty warriors. Hahaha~~ Fight to your heart’s content. If you’re injured, I will use soul-restoring talismans to heal you; I won’t let my ghost kings disperse their souls.”
After pausing, Zheng He chuckled contentedly. “In life, I trained in Daoism, ancient martial arts, and was a scholarly seeker of the divine. My methods reached the heavens. I don’t wish for my subordinates to die; even if you want to, you won’t be able to… Begin!”
Immediately, more than a dozen ghost kings drifted to the middle of the clearing, each choosing an opponent and engaging in fierce combat.
These were all ghost kings, rare and extraordinary beings known for their ferocity, malice, and ruthlessness, each with their own special moves, magical treasures, and trump cards.
The battle was intense, with demon arts exploding amidst the ghosts, and malevolent energy surged like the tides; it was quite a spectacle.
In the end, in the narrow path of combat, the bravest emerged victorious, with several of the stronger and more ruthless ghost kings defeating their opponents, almost shattering their ghostly bodies.
Monk Yizhen from the Empty Mountain Temple had an easy victory over another ghost king.
Zheng He burned several talismans to heal the severely wounded, defeated ghost kings, then had them step aside, losing their right to compete.
New ghost kings continually stepped up to challenge, and even some powerful purple-clothed fierce ghosts couldn’t resist entering the fray.
As for the ordinary purple-clothed and blue-clothed fierce ghosts, they didn’t dare to throw their lives away by participating.
It could be said that this was a battle among the strongest ghosts in the entire world.
It was like the human world’s top ancient martial arts grandmasters dueling for supremacy.
Of course, as Zheng He said, he wouldn’t let the ghost kings perish in competition. After each fight, he used soul-restoring talismans to revive those who had been severely injured or dismembered.
“Young master, why don’t we join in?” Dean Zha, the hedgehog, blazed with a desire to fight.
“You monsters, once engaged in battle, will surely use Demon Art, and Zheng He will easily spot the flaws. You’d better just behave and enjoy the show,” Huang Xiaolong, growing more excited, stood up decisively. “Watch me!”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong floated up and directly joined the battle fray!
Huang Xiaolong’s desire to fight could no longer be contained!!!!
