Chapter 497 Let Go

Proofreader: @vongola10

“Zangjian?”

When Huairou Ding heard the surprised voice of Green Ghost King, he turned his head to look at the glowing shadow in shock, “Could it be that the existence that has appeared was the ancestor of our Huairou Family, Huairou Zangjian?”

“What?”

The Huairou Family members were amazed.

Green Ghost King stared fixedly at the figure of light. His eyes were burning with anticipation, as well as fury and unwillingness.

Finally, the light around the figure dimmed down, and a pale-skinned, golden-eyed, handsome man appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

These people from the Huairou Family had never seen Huairou Zangjian. Therefore, they didn’t know whether this person was or wasn’t Huairou Zangjian. However, the Green Ghost King once again cried out, “It’s you, Huairou Zangjian!”

“So you didn’t die!”

“Is he really an ancestor?”

Huairou Ding moved forward and looked him up and down as he exclaimed in admiration.

“Of course I am your ancestor, my descendants.”

Huairou Zangjian smiled as he looked at Huairou Ding.

“However, I must regretfully tell you that I am already dead. What you see now is only a remnant of a soul fragment that I specifically poured into Sacred Heart when I created it!”

Huairou Zangjian said with a smile.

“Soul fragment?”

Green Ghost King gritted his teeth and stared at Huairou Zangjian. He coldly said, “How did you die then?”

“Of course it’s the end of life.”

“Impossible!”

Green Ghost King roared: “Your cultivation is higher than mine, why is your longevity lower than mine?”

This was impossible!

“You lied to me again!”

“Why would I lie to you?”

“Although my cultivation is higher than yours, it’s all from absorbing profound coin. Although it can increase one’s strength, it can’t increase one’s lifespan. I’m not like you, you just walked over step by step. Your own cultivation is naturally different from ours.”

Green Ghost King clenched his fist, his teeth almost shattered.

“Alright, Jianya, stop fooling around. Let my successors go, for my sake.”

Huairou Zangjian said.

“Why?”

Green Ghost King said angrily.

“You’re not so heartless, are you?”

“You want us to be so heartless after all these years of friendship?”

“Hmph, don’t try to get close to me. Huairou Zangjian, unless you can defeat me today, I will destroy your Huairou Family!”

“Ai, alright, alright. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to fight you again even though I don’t have much time left.”

Huairou Zangjian revealed an extremely helpless expression. He shrugged his shoulders, then took a step forward, and a golden sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand. He raised his head and gently looked at Green Ghost King. His body suddenly flashed, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Green Ghost King.

‘Whiz!’

The golden longsword shot out, the body of the sword burst forth with countless rays of light, completely devouring the Green Ghost King.

“Five Directions Kill!”

Green Ghost King gave a deep shout, and a large amount of sabre Qi suddenly appeared around him. When he looked at him again, he saw that a pitch-black blade had unknowingly appeared in the palm of his hand.

The sabre Qi burst forth and tore apart tens of thousands of lights, interweaving into one long sword in the air.

“Zangjian!”

“Back then, when you set a trap and lost to me, I was unwilling to accept it. Today, we shall decide the victor!”

Green Ghost King screamed with all his might. His arm that was wielding the blade became even faster, and all the profound energy in his body was like a gushing river.

“Jianya, did you make a mistake?”

“I’m just a businessman, competing with my cultivation. How can I be a match for you?”

He didn’t have the slightest bit of concentration and seriousness when fighting against others. It was as if in his eyes, this was merely a sparring of skills with an old friend.

However, even though it was easy to Huairou Zangjian, he was already at a disadvantage.

Putting aside the fact that the Huairou Zangjian he was currently fighting with was only a soul fragment, just Green Ghost King’s continuous cultivation for revenge had far surpassed his original strength. Thus, Huairou Zangjian was no match for him.

The members of Huairou Family looked worriedly at the two sides fighting in the sky, their faces full of worry.

But very quickly, the victor was decided.

With a ‘dang’ sound, the golden sword in Huairou Zangjian was thrown out. It circled in the air for a few times before turning into tiny particles and dispersing.

A cold light flashed in Green Ghost King’s eyes. He immediately raised his sabre and slashed towards Huairou Zangjian’s neck.

However, Huairou Zangjian looked at him quietly and smiled gently. He didn’t show the slightest bit of fear, nor did he show any signs of resistance.

Green Ghost King was stunned and quickly withdrew his hand. The blade of the black blade was only a few centimetres away from his neck. “What are you doing?”

Green Ghost King gnashed his teeth in anger.

“Nothing.”

Huairou Zangjian smiled and said, “Because I know that you won’t kill me.”

“You …” Green Ghost King opened his mouth and was stunned on the spot. He then saw Huairou Zangjian reach out his hand to grab his sabre and said softly, “Jianya, do you still remember the time when you were chased after by your enemy and were seriously injured, and then saved by me to recover?”

“In those days, we spent all our time discussing cultivation methods and the way of doing business, saying that if you and I wanted to do it, we would have to do it. What a wonderful time that was!”

Green Ghost King’s ashen face slightly changed, “What are you talking about?”

“Nothing, just sighing.”

“Remember, after your injuries are healed, I want you to leave, but no matter what, you will not leave. You must repay my kindness, and honestly speaking, I don’t want you to leave either. At that time, I was facing a great enemy, and it was precisely when I was using people that your cultivation was very important to me. With your help, I will definitely succeed.”

“During the time I’ve been with you, I’ve long since treated you as a friend. With you by my side, everything will no longer be scary to me.” Green Ghost King was stunned as he stared blankly at Huairou Zangjian.

He raised his head and stared at Green Ghost King.

“Jianya, I know why you wanted to destroy Huairou Family. You are not doing this for the sake of your adopted son, because you know that I have never lied to you before, nor would I harm your adopted son for no reason. The reason why you did this was only to take revenge on me for leaving without saying anything.”

“Let’s leave without saying anything!” Green Ghost King seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed drastically, “Could it be that you have already …” “Do you still remember that Supreme Elder we destroyed together?”

Huairou Zangjian said with a smile, “Before he died, he cast the world’s most vicious curse. I don’t have much time. To prevent you from feeling too sad, I chose that method.”

“Intentionally provoking me to leave Huairou Family?”

“Pretty much. I just didn’t expect you to have such a big reaction.”

“You’re an idiot.”

Green Ghost King secretly clenched his teeth, but his eyes no longer held any hatred, only disappointment and helplessness.

With his cultivation, how could he really care about everything of Huairou Family?

After being persistent for so many years, the Green Ghost King only wanted to vent the anger and dissatisfaction towards Huairou Zangjian. However, today, all of this slowly disappeared like smoke in front of his eyes, and the grudge in his heart was slowly lowered.

“Alright, I don’t have much time left. I think I’ll be leaving again.” Huairou Zangjian slightly smiled as he suddenly became thinner.

Seeing this, Green Ghost King’s expression suddenly tensed up. He hurriedly grabbed the hand of Huairou Zangjian and injected energy into it. In an instant, the thin and dim body of Huairou Zangjian lit up once again.

Seeing this scene, all the Huairou family members were stunned.

“What the hell is going on?”

“What is Ancestor Zangjian doing?”

“Then what is Green Ghost King doing?”

Huairou Gong opened his mouth, full of doubt.

“The remnant soul of Huairou Zangjian will not hold out for long and will soon dissipate. Green Ghost King using his cultivation to prolong the life of Zangjian and wants to keep him alive.”

At that moment, a voice rang out.

Su Yun looked towards the source of the voice and realized that the speaker was the Taoist Priest Niao Lu.

“Taoist Priest, why are you here?”

Su Yun said in surprise.

“Previously, I had been inside the mansion preparing to remove the curse. Later, I would have someone report that the curse has been removed. Now, I don’t have to worry.”

Taoist Priest Niao Lu laughed.

“From the looks of it, all of this was not because of hatred with the Huairou Family. On the contrary, he just couldn’t let go of the bond between him and our ancestor, Huairou Zangjian.” Huairou Muyu gently murmured, “Although I don’t know what kind of deep friendship the ancestor has with him, without a doubt, the relationship between the two is not something that can be created in a day or night.” Seeing this scene, Su Yun no longer worried.

Perhaps, the appearance of Huairou Zangjian would be better than using the Sacred Heart to beat him to death.

In the air, the body of Huairou Zangjian was still dim. However, Green Ghost King still did not stop as he poured profound energy into his body.

Although Green Ghost King’s cultivation was high and his strength was strong, he was unable to withstand the torment. Very quickly, his face paled and his eyes gradually dimmed.

“Enough!”

Huairou Zangjian immediately grabbed his hand and spoke weakly.

Green Ghost King didn’t say anything, forcefully opened his hand and continued pouring it into his body.

“In the end, I am still a remnant of my soul and cannot revive. Why are you so persistent?”

“I am a dead man, after all, and no longer belong in this world.”

Huairou Zangjian said with a pale smile.

Green Ghost King still didn’t say anything. At this moment, there was no longer any hatred in his eyes, nor was there any hint of resentment. There was only sadness left.

“Treat my people kindly, Jianya. Can you consider it as the last thing I ask you to do?”

Huairou Zangjian silently looked at Green Ghost King.

A glint flashed in Green Ghost King’s eyes. After a long while, he finally nodded with difficulty.

“Don’t be too sad, we will definitely meet again in the future, but if possible, I don’t want to continue working as a merchant.” Huairou Zangjian laughed heartily. But slowly, the laughter gradually became weaker, like pollen being blown away by the wind.

The Green Ghost King stood in the sky, staring at his hands and the gradually vanishing Huairou Zangjian. He did not move for a long time, like a stone man.
