The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 400 The Night Demon King Makes an Oath

"drink--!"

After enduring unimaginable pain for an extended period, the Northern Star Blade Saint finally succeeded in fusing the two souls of Heaven and Earth, letting out a long roar as his entire body revealed its sharp edge.

Mid-stage Great Sage!

Feeling the surging, turbulent power of the gods and demons within his body, Beichen Sword Saint could not hide his excitement. He quickly clasped his hands in thanks to Feng Ling, who was striding forward, and said, "Beichen thanks the City Lord for his life-saving grace!"

"Hmm. No need for formalities. Tell me about all the information you've gathered about infant souls over the years, including their realms and supernatural powers."

Gently patting Bei Chen's shoulder, Feng Ling was overjoyed to have gained a powerful general at the Great Saint Realm under his command.

I wonder if the already fallen Earth Soul would be dumbfounded if it knew this result.

Originally, in the eyes of the Earth Soul, if Feng Ling annihilated his consciousness, Bei Chen would be able to merge the complete power of the two souls of Heaven and Earth, and at that time, he would completely fall into demonic ways and absolutely crush Feng Ling with overwhelming strength.

Unfortunately, what it did not expect was that during the fusion of the two souls of heaven and earth, Beichen's consciousness was briefly restored. Not only did he give up his hostility towards Fengling, but he also sought help by recognizing a master.

To be fair, Di Hun was at least a half-step Great Saint, and his original strength wasn't that weak. However, he lacked half of Di Hun's origin and was under the control of Bei Chen, which is why he was easily killed by Feng Ling and the others.

"Reporting to the city lord, compared to the Heaven and Earth Souls, which are often away and unable to effectively inherit the supernatural powers, the Infant Soul has inherited most of the Nine-Headed Demon's supernatural powers. Therefore, although I have managed to control the Heaven and Earth Souls, I know in my heart that I am far from being a match for the Infant Soul, so I have not dared to make contact with it rashly."

Bei Chen scratched his head awkwardly.

Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture!

"So... you don't know his level of cultivation, or what kind of supernatural powers he possesses?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling frowned slightly. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

The Northern Star Blade Saint has been stationed in the Land of Nine Infants for at least a thousand or eight hundred years. He once coveted the power of the Infant Soul, yet he knew very little about it. His reckless behavior was truly unparalleled.

"Lord, don't be anxious!" Bei Chen seemed to see Feng Ling's displeasure and immediately chuckled, "Although I don't know the details of the infant soul, that cunning Night Ghost King must know! Don't you think so, Ghost Spirit, Night—Ghost—King!"

As he finished speaking, Bei Chen turned and looked outside the Heavenly Gang Hall, clearly not referring to Feng Ling.

At that moment, Feng Ling's thoughts stirred slightly.

The next moment, on the ground at the entrance of the main hall, rhythmic light and shadow condensed into a human figure, which appeared out of thin air in the two people's field of vision.

It was the Night Ghost King's Hundred Ghosts Parade Technique! "Hmph! You old scoundrel Beichen, you're as annoying as ever. Stop gossiping behind my back!"

Night Demon King strode into the main hall, glancing at Beichen Sword Saint with a complex expression.

"Senior." Feng Ling greeted him politely with a cupped-hand salute, and the Night Ghost King immediately nodded in return, "Hmm."

senior!?
Seeing the Night Ghost King's air of superiority, Bei Chen was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. He thought to himself with resentment, "What are you pretending to be, you big shot!"
"You audacious Night Demon King, do you know your crime! You didn't even bow to Lord Fengling, instead showing disrespect to the sovereign. Have you forgotten the rules set by Lord Qinglan City: whoever inherits her legacy becomes the new city lord and must swear to wholeheartedly assist her and help her slay the Nine-Headed Demon? And what have you been doing? Now that I have surrendered, I advise you to quickly put away your petty thoughts and lest you ruin yourself!"

Beichen Sword Saint suddenly let out a fierce shout, and blade light rose up in fragments. The powerful pressure emanating from his body was like a mountain, enveloping the entire hall.

Feng Ling stood silently to the side, clearly approving of Bei Chen's actions.

In fact, given all the signs that Night Ghost King had previously shown, how could Feng Ling not guess that Night Ghost King was interested in the position of city lord?

And the truth was pretty much what Feng Ling had guessed. To be precise, the Night Ghost King lamented why Qinglan's inheritance had chosen Feng Ling, whose cultivation level was still very low at the time.

In the eyes of the Night Ghost King, Leng Ning Shuang was the best candidate to be the city lord of Meng Gui City, and if Qing Lan's legacy chose Leng Ning Shuang, he would have no objection.

However, Qinglan's successor chose Fengling, which made Night Ghost King unable to accept it for a time. He felt that choosing Fengling as the city lord was not as good as choosing himself.

Based on this, the Night Demon King acted perfunctorily before, claiming that killing the Nine-Headed Demon was Qinglan's test of whether Fengling could successfully succeed as the city lord, and that he would only take action if it was a matter of life and death.

Of course, to avoid being held accountable by Feng Ling when he learns the truth, Night Ghost King specially trained Feng Ling and the others to improve their strength.

Therefore, rather than saying that it was a test set by Qinglan for Fengling, it would be more accurate to say that the Night Ghost King was dissatisfied and abused his power for personal gain, using the test results to decide whether to accept Fengling as the new city lord.

"He's actually reached the mid-stage of the Great Saint Realm!"

Suddenly struck by the oppressive force, the Night Demon King was forced to take two steps back uncontrollably. Surprised, he felt a pang of bitterness: "So be it! What is destined to be will be, and what is not destined to be cannot be forced!"

Night Ghost King exhaled a long breath and knelt on one knee before Feng Ling, saying, "Your subordinate, Night Ghost King, pays respects to City Lord Feng Ling! Please forgive my previous negligence, City Lord. From this day forward, I, Night Ghost King, swear to wholeheartedly assist you, City Lord, and will never disobey you in the slightest. If I break this oath, may my soul and spirit be annihilated!"

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
