Evil of all ages

Chapter 201 The Ghost King Possession
"You can't come to me with every problem. You're a detective, after all. It's not right for you to come to me without finding the truth yourself."

"Besides, I don't owe you anything, and I have no obligation to answer any of your questions."

Huang Taichu sat down, separated the part that Da Bai had bitten off, and ate the rest.

"Just this once. If there's a problem next time, I won't come to you again."

Di Qingtian said calmly.

"What do you want to know?"

Huang Taichu glanced at Di Qingtian, then looked away and continued eating his fish before asking a question.

"I want to know whether you're going to let the White Lotus Sect spread the plague in the capital, or stop them?"

Di Qingtian asked.

"I've only been married a short time. If a plague breaks out in the capital, is that acceptable?"

Huang Taichu countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian understood.

Without pressing the matter further, he turned and left.

"grown ups"

When Di Qingtian walked out of the prison, Yin Tianying and the others cast curious glances at him, wanting to know what the master had asked the son of the Ghost King.

"Return to Dali Temple. As for the White Lotus Sect matter, just go through the motions; there's no need for a thorough investigation."

Yin Tianying and the others stared at each other in disbelief, but since the adults had said so, they could only suppress their doubts and follow the adults back to the Dali Temple.

Two days have passed
The gates of the capital city remained tightly closed, as if the various government agencies would not rest until they had rounded up the members of the White Lotus Sect.

That's how it appears on the surface, but in reality, most of them are just going through the motions without putting in any real effort.

Huangfu
"Husband, are you going out again tonight?"

When Di Luoyun saw that her husband looked like he was about to go out, she complained that he often didn't come home at night.

"The old emperor has left the palace and is heading towards the imperial prison where I am. How can I leave the imperial prison?"

Huang Taichu gently pinched Di Luoyun's fair and rosy cheeks, then lowered his head to give her a kiss, and chuckled softly.

"Are you looking for our father?"

"Is there any danger? Should I go find my brother?"

Di Luoyun was already used to her husband's intimate behavior.

How did my husband receive the news so quickly after the emperor left the palace?
She doesn't care.

But she knew that the emperor's visit to the Heavenly Prison was most likely to find the Ghost King.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; the elderly emperor is even more unpredictable, and she worried that her husband might be in danger.

If you want to find her brother, invite Master Shi over, just in case.

"No need. In the imperial prison, no one can harm me, not even the emperor."

Huang Taichu smiled.

"Should I take your sister to my brother's place to hide, in case someone uses me and your sister to threaten you?"

Di Luoyun said, always thinking of Huang Taichu's best interests.

“You know, the safest places in the capital are our mansion and the imperial prison.”

"Don't be fooled by the fact that there are no powerful figures guarding our mansion; it actually harbors a much deeper darkness."

“The enemy who breaks into our mansion will only be swallowed up by endless darkness.”

"Stay at home and don't worry. If your husband doesn't want to die, no one can threaten him."

Huang Taichu patted Di Luoyun on the head and then left.

After her husband left, Di Luoyun became curious and wanted to see what he meant by the deeper darkness he had mentioned.

He then began to stroll around the mansion.

She wandered around for half a day but found nothing.

South City Prison
Huang Taichu arrived right on time.

Holding Da Bai, I stood at the entrance of the prison and waited for a while before a large number of Imperial Guards, Embroidered Uniform Guards, and Zhenwu Division personnel appeared.

The prison in the south of the city was completely surrounded, with one layer inside and another outside.

The old emperor did not try to hide his departure from the palace this time, so much so that all the major and minor powers in the capital knew that the old emperor was going to see the Ghost King.

Huang Taichu looked up and realized that the emperor's travels were indeed different.

Not to mention the sheer number of people and the number of powerful figures protecting them, even the enormous dragon carriage required more than a dozen experts to lift it together.

The dragon carriage stopped

The dozen or so experts who carried the dragon carriage carefully lowered it down.

The curtain of the palanquin was pulled open.
The old emperor emerged with the help of two eunuchs.

Long live the Emperor!

The moment the old emperor Li Xingji appeared, everyone around him knelt down.

Huang Taichu did not kneel; he just stood there holding the cat. Besides Huang Taichu, there were two other people present who did not kneel.

One is Ye Wuji, the director of the Zhenwu Division.

One was Li Tianwu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Li Tianwu was not originally surnamed Li; he was given the surname Li because of his great contributions.

He had previously secluded himself in seclusion because he knew his lifespan was limited.

He will live if he breaks through, and he will die if he doesn't.

The fact that he is standing here now signifies that he has successfully broken through and become a Grandmaster.

When the old emperor Li Xingji saw Huang Taichu standing out from the crowd, he showed neither joy nor anger, and walked towards Huang Taichu with the help of the eunuchs.

Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu appeared behind the old emperor in an instant, flanking him on either side.

The Imperial Guard Commander Nie Yang also followed behind the old emperor, but he was positioned behind Ye Wuji and the other man.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

The old emperor saw no fear in Huang Taichu's eyes, and he knew that Huang Taichu was fearless because he relied on his ghost king father.

But this displeased him, so he immediately unleashed his imperial power to frighten Huang Taichu.

Those nearby, enveloped by the Emperor's aura, knelt there, trembling.

Huang Taichu smiled inwardly. It wasn't like he hadn't been an emperor before; trying to intimidate him with this weak imperial power was really not inspiring.

Unable to muster any energy, Huang Taichu was too lazy to speak, and shook his head slightly to indicate that he was not afraid.

The old emperor saw that Huang Taichu remained nonchalant despite his imperial power.

He reclaimed his imperial authority, knowing that Huang Taichu possessed some skill.

Although he was still a little annoyed, he needed the Ghost King's help tonight, so he couldn't do anything to the Ghost King's son.

"I want to see your father."

Li Xingji said.

"Your Majesty, we are now separated by life and death. I can only try to call out to my father, but I do not know if he will respond."

After Huang Taichu finished speaking, he led the old emperor and his entourage inside.

It's still the same place.

The seventh prince is insane.

Upon seeing his father, the sixth prince immediately began to stammer, as if trying to attract his father's attention.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it was no use. His father, the emperor, not only ignored him, but didn't even glance at him.

Without Huang Taichu giving any instructions, the jailers set out the offering table and the offerings.

Huang Taichu put down the big white dog and pretended to stick three incense sticks in it.

He closed his eyes and muttered a prayer.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

My father did not respond to me.

Huang Taichu spoke calmly to the old emperor.

"I knew you would have a way, wouldn't you?"

Li Xingji said with a slightly threatening look in his eyes.

"There is another way, which is to have my father possess me."

Huang Taichu replied.

"What are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Taichu had a shrine set up in front of the offering table.

The crowd thought that Huang Taichu would sit on the altar and let his father possess him.

I never expected Huang Taichu to place that big cat on the altar.

"Cats can communicate with spirits, especially black cats, so it would be best if my father possessed one."

Huang Taichu explained with a smile.

Li Xingji didn't have time to be curious about so many things. Right now, he was anxious to see the Ghost King, no matter what method he used, as long as he could see the Ghost King.

After having Da Bai pose as a lucky cat, Huang Taichu started performing a shamanic dance.

Moments later, the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and the light dimmed.

Suddenly, blue flames erupted from Big White's body and began to swirl around it.

This made others feel uneasy and panicked.

The old emperor, like everyone else, felt no fear because he was about to die.

Now that the Ghost King has finally responded to him, he is overjoyed.
