Chapter 2280 The Feast of Ghosts

Mo Langqin did not press Mo Ruo for details. He instructed Qing Gui to take good care of Yan Cang before turning and walking outside.

"Don't let anyone in until I get back."

The door was tightly closed, and Mo Langqin's presence quickly faded away; he seemed eager to go somewhere.

Yan Cang sighed as he looked at the doorway, then his tearful, worried expression turned cold.

"What happened?" Qing Gui asked Yan Cang, still floating in mid-air with his arms crossed.

Yan Cang sat back on the bed and swung her legs. She rested her hands on her sides and looked up to meet Qing Gui's seemingly fierce and cruel eyes.

“I went to find Mo Langqin, intending to disguise myself as Yan Cang and follow him down the mountain, but I ran into Mo He and Mo Tianlan there, and it just so happened.”

The green ghost descended from mid-air, approaching Yan Cang's side and assuming a thoughtful expression. [Mo Tianlan... was indeed taken away by Mo He.]

Yan Cang pursed his lips, "That's not all. You have no idea who I met again, I met that Man Shu."

Then, Mo Langqin and I hid in the bushes and were forced to witness a love triangle between a human and a demon. In the end, Mo He took both Mo Tianlan and Man Shu away, and even threatened Mo Tianlan that he would completely eliminate Man Shu. What terrifying jealousy!

After hearing Yan Cang's words, the Green Ghost simply shook his head. "...Hey, I told you not to get caught up in love. The same goes for you. Once this is over, and you return to your original form, put your feelings aside. Survival is the most important thing."

"I have my own plans." Yan Cang covered her ears, not wanting to listen to Qing Gui's nagging. After a while, she let go and looked at the wall behind the bed. There was a strong ghostly power emanating from there, the smell of the ghost beast that had betrayed them before and was injured.

"What did that guy confess to?" Yan Cang asked Qing Gui.

The green ghost glanced at the wall behind the bed and said, "That guy said something about the Mo family wanting to strengthen the seal on the Ghost Beast Feast."

[But Mo Wangchuan doesn't want to strengthen the seal. He plans to unleash the Ghost Beast Feast and use the Book of Prophecy and ghost sacrifices to do something. That foolish guy only helped Mo Wangchuan monitor us because he didn't want to be devoured by the Ghost Beast Feast in the end. In the end, he was just being used, a guy with no opinions of his own! With Mo Wangchuan's personality, how could he possibly coexist peacefully with the ghost beasts?]

Yan Cang angrily slammed his hand on the bed. "This is utterly delusional! They think they can just release it like that? That's the Ghost Beast Feast! Besides, aren't they still missing a Ghost-Suppressing Stone? Nobody knows where it's hidden. The Ghost Beast Feast can't possibly be released! The copy of the Book of Prophecy doesn't even mention it..."

The Green Demon raised a hand and placed it on Yan Cang's shoulder. "It's our business whether we want the Ghost Beast Feast to return to the world, but some guys won't be so well-behaved. Mo Wangchuan can hide it from the Ghost Masters, but he can't hide it from certain ghost beasts."

"I don't understand why some guys need the Ghost Beast Feast to be resurrected..." Yan Cang gritted his teeth, recalling what he had heard from other ghost beasts about the Ghost Beast Feast. "The Ghost Beast Feast clearly devours its own kind! Aren't they afraid that after resurrecting the Ghost Beast Feast, it will eat them too?" The Green Ghost gave a bitter laugh, his hand leaving Yan Cang's shoulder to touch the Buddhist beads around his neck. [White Shadow, you've never actually seen the Ghost Beast Feast, have you? All your impressions of it are just hearsay, right?]

Yan Cang nodded.

The Green Demon continued, "I've seen it. The Ghost Beast Feast isn't a specific group of ghost beasts; it's a collection. When it first took shape, it already possessed the power to devour fifty high-level ghost beasts."

Some overconfident demonic beasts wanted to take advantage of the situation. They believed that the Demonic Beast Feast had not yet matured, and that as long as they gained the upper hand, they could kill the Demonic Beast Feast and devour its power.

This very act only amplified the power of the Ghostly Feast, which devoured every overconfident ghostly beast. Those ghostly beasts, and even the wandering souls and demons they consumed, all reveled and drank merrily within its body, singing and dancing in unison!
Over time, the interior became increasingly extravagant, and the sounds increasingly joyous, thus becoming bait for the demon beast feast, bewitching all who saw and heard it. The demon beasts whose minds were bewitched willingly offered their bodies, and the power of the demon beast feast gradually increased, eventually becoming a legend in the demon beast world.

The Green Demon opened his arms and looked at his palms. A suffocating memory flooded his mind: [I saw it with my own eyes. I saw my friend open his arms, letting the Ghost Beast Feast accept him. His eyes were filled with expectation as he looked up, a maddening joy. I heard my friend weep with elation, praising, "To be devoured by the Ghost Beast Feast is the highest honor for a subject."]

"What were you doing back then?" Yan Cang's voice pulled Qing Gui out of his hazy memories.

The blue demon's already bitter smile became even more unpleasant. [I glanced at my friend and then didn't look up again. I was... afraid; I didn't dare raise my head.]

The blue demon's breathing became heavy. "Just recalling that past makes it hard to breathe. It was even worse back then. When the Demon Beast Banquet, with his maniacal, extravagant laughter, passed by, my breathing completely stopped; it felt as if all my demonic power had been drained away. My friend vanished from my side in an instant, and the Demon Beast Banquet's body was now filled with his laughter. I've never encountered the Demon Beast Banquet since."

Countless years passed before I heard that the demon tamers had sealed away the demon beast feast. It was only when I heard this news that I felt my breath return and sensed that my demonic power still existed within me.

I... finally raised my head, and then realized that I had been trapped in the place where I had been kneeling for more than 300 years.

Those demonic beasts that were devoured and accepted by the demonic beast feast will never return.

"I just dislike the Ghost Beast Feast, I really didn't expect you to be so afraid of it..."

The Green Demon took a few deep breaths to calm himself. "So we need to ensure everything goes perfectly; we absolutely cannot release the Demon Beast Feast. You're now one of only two demon beasts in this room who can leave. There are some things we'll need your assistance with outside."

“Leave it to me.” Yan Cang patted his chest. “But before that, I need to calm Mo Langqin down first.”

After seeing that Yan Cang had agreed to his request, Qing Gui didn't say anything more.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a ghostly beast subtly appeared on Yan Cang's other side. [White Shadow, are you sure you want to let that child deal with Mo He alone? I just probed his mind; he's leaving to save his parents…]
