Evil of all ages

Chapter 62 Absolutely Miraculous (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"What, you're quite famous?"

Huang Taichu countered with a question.

"No, it's just a disgusting, empty reputation."

"More than twenty years ago, I was the senior disciple of Shenjian Manor..."

When Xia Chaojun heard Huang Taichu's question, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

So many years have passed, and people in the martial arts world have long forgotten him. What reputation does he still have?

He began to recount his past.

After hearing Xia Chaojun's story, Huang Taichu felt it was another melodramatic plot.

More than twenty years ago, Xia Chaojun could be considered the most outstanding prodigy of Shenjian Villa.

He is a magnanimous and powerful man with many female confidantes, and is known in the martial arts world as the Gentleman Sword.

Some have said that he is a once-in-a-millennium genius, not only possessing the potential to become a grandmaster, but also able to break the curse that one can only reach the grandmaster realm after the age of fifty.

Since 800 years ago, all the powerful figures who have entered the Grandmaster realm have successfully broken through after the age of fifty.

No one under the age of fifty has managed to cross that threshold and become a Grandmaster.

If someone can break this curse, countless people believe that this person is very likely to step into the legendary realm—the Grandmaster realm.

Countless people had high hopes for him, and even the Divine Sword Manor, where he lived, almost changed its rules for him.

The Shenjian Manor is surnamed Xie, and the manor lord has always been surnamed Xie. It is a sect that passes down the manor from father to son.

Because of his exceptional talent, most of the elders in the manor suggested that he become the next manor lord.

It was because he was extremely unwilling that the matter was dropped.

Then the melodramatic plot unfolded.

He declared that he would not become the head of the estate, but the Xie heir was not at ease with him.

Then a plot to frame him unfolded: the junior sister was raped and murdered, and a mountain of evidence pointed to him.

The theft of treasures from the manor also points to him.

He was also a suspect in the massacre of the village at the foot of the mountain.

……

On the day the mass poisoning incident occurred at Divine Sword Manor, the Demonic Cult attacked, confirming his suspicion of colluding with the Demonic Cult to destroy Divine Sword Manor.

He became known as an ungrateful person, hunted down and despised...

He eventually fell off a cliff and became crippled.

He had considered revenge, but his good junior brother, Xie Wujian, the current master of Shenjian Villa, had already become a Grandmaster.

He's a wheelchair-bound cripple, barely clinging to life, so what means would he have for revenge?

When a person becomes decadent, their moral character also declines.

"You're such a failure, acting like the protagonist from the very beginning."

"Who wants to fall off a cliff? Unlike other protagonists who benefit from misfortune and grow stronger through opportunities, he broke his leg instead."

"you……"

Huang Taichu didn't know how to evaluate the Xia Dynasty ruler.

Xia Chaojun could only feel helpless upon hearing this. Others' lives were full of ups and downs, but his was full of downs. What could he do?

"Are you willing to submit to me?"

After hearing the story, Huang Taichu looked at Yu Xuan and the others.

"Paying respects to the Ghost Emperor"

Yu Xuan and the other four exchanged glances and knelt down simultaneously, indicating their willingness to submit.

When Huang Taichu heard them calling him the Ghost Emperor, he didn't bother to correct them. This was the Ghost Market, so calling him the Ghost Emperor wasn't wrong.

"What about you?"

Seeing that Xia Chaojun did not respond, Huang Taichu glanced over.

"I'm not many years away from living, and I'm also a useless person. I'm of no use to you."

"Why don't you spare me and let me live out my old age in peace?"

Xia Chaojun felt that his life was already set, so why bother making things any more complicated?

"You clearly had a better future, but Xie Wujian ruined it for you. Are you sure you can swallow this anger and die with your eyes closed?"

Huang Taichu countered with a question.

"I will not seek revenge. I was an orphan since I was a child. It was Shenjian Manor that raised me. They have a debt of gratitude to me."

"Even if I weren't crippled, let alone in this state, at most I would demand an explanation. Do you think I could destroy the Divine Sword Manor?"

Xia Chaojun's lips curled into a bitter smile as he tried to find a reason not to retaliate.

“What if you could stand up again?” Huang Taichu continued to ask.

"What did you say?"

Xia Chaojun paused for a moment, then, somewhat at a loss, asked.

“I can help you stand up again, and I won’t interfere in your affairs with Shenjian Manor. Are you willing to submit to me?”

"Oh, right."

"Don't worry about lifespan; I can still refine longevity pills."

Huang Taichu tempted her like a devil.

"lie"

Xia Chaojun fell off his wheelchair, not accidentally, but because he was too excited.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

Even though Xia Chaojun knew that the son of the Ghost King before him possessed godlike abilities, he was still unaware of this.

But upon hearing that he could not only stand up but also extend his lifespan, he remained uneasy and asked with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"If I can't do it, why would I take in a useless person like you and waste food?"

Huang Taichu said casually.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chaojun used his two withered arms to support himself on the ground, put himself in a kneeling position, and, with tears streaming down his face, sincerely kowtowed to Huang Taichu.

"Paying respects to the Ghost Emperor"

The aged, hoarse voice, yearning for new life, echoed in the air for a long time.

Huang Taichu originally intended to wait a while before treating Xia Chaojun, but when he saw Xia Chaojun, tears welled up in his eyes.

He had no choice but to activate the Greedy World-Devouring Gu within his body.

The Greedy World-Devouring Gu can plunder life energy and feed it back to Huang Taichu. Huang Taichu can then use the Greedy World-Devouring Gu to transfer, borrow, and bestow power upon the person it parasitizes.

Xia Chaojun, who was kneeling on the ground, floated up lightly, which startled him, but he knew that this was the Ghost Emperor's method, so he did not resist.

Yu Xuan and the others stared wide-eyed, knowing that Xia Chaojun's lower body suffered permanent damage that was incurable.

The Ghost Emperor said he could cure it, so they wanted to witness this miracle.

Just as Xia Chaojun was wondering what methods the Ghost Emperor would use to heal him, a large amount of vibrant energy suddenly surged from his body.

It continuously cleansed his meridians and repaired his wounds and hidden ailments...

"Um"

Perhaps it was too comfortable, Xia Chaojun couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm".

"Don't waste the extra energy."

Huang Taichu reminded him.

Upon hearing the reminder, Xia Chaojun immediately circulated his cultivation technique to absorb the energy contained within his body.

In a short while, not only was his depleted true energy restored, but the excess energy also allowed him to return to the late stage of the Innate Realm.

He slowly floated down from mid-air, and when his feet landed firmly on the ground, he stood there stunned, somewhat unable to believe that he had recovered just like that.

He stood up again.

Compared to Xia Chaojun's lingering emotions, Yu Xuan and the others were practically speechless, their mouths agape as if they could never close them.

What they saw was that Xia Chaojun had not only recovered, but had also become younger.

Yes, I've become younger.

Before he recovered, Xia Chaojun looked like he was eighty or ninety years old.

After recovery, her gray hair turned black, her face not only became radiant, but her wrinkles also became less noticeable.

He looks like he's in his fifties now.

This is simply amazing!

Previously, their submission to Huang Taichu was forced, but now there is no coercion, only genuine submission and worship.

Xia Chaojun took two steps and jumped up and down to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Tears streamed down his face again, these were tears of joy.

Feeling his body brimming with energy, and noticing the different looks in Yu Xuan's eyes, he grabbed a jar of wine and smashed it on the ground.

Using the reflection of the wine on the ground, he saw that his hair had turned black and his face had become younger.

He was a little bewildered and raised his hand to touch his face.

"Thank you, Lord Ghost Emperor, for your life-saving grace. From now on, I will be the sharpest sword in your hand."

Xia Chaojun knelt down on both knees before Huang Taichu, solemnly declaring his loyalty.

"You have a wealth of experience in the underworld. In the future, you may need to use your story to play the victim and guide someone."

"There's plenty of time now. When we need you, we'll let you play."
