Chapter 862 -862: Trading life with the yellow-skinned demon!

The vast Yu Family compound was suffused with a faint, ghostly aura, which set Huang Xiaolong’s heart stirring. ‘These demons of Rong City are quite audacious, aren’t they? To think they’d set their sights on the Yu Family? What gall~~~’

Although, in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, the Yu Family might as well be no better than chickens and dogs, it was still one of the Huaxia’s top ten ancient martial arts families, boasting hidden dragons and crouching tigers with experts emerging in an endless stream, having Great Grandmasters as common as cabbages on the streets.

But surely, even if the demons were rampant, they wouldn’t dare to seek trouble with the Yu Family, right?

Strange! An abnormal situation surely signifies the presence of demons!

Just then, upon noticing Huang Xiaolong’s arrival, the senior members of the Yu Family swarmed over, surrounding him like stars orbiting the moon.

“Young Master Huang! You’ve arrived! Your presence brings glory to our Yu Family! Welcome, most welcome indeed!” An elder with a deep aura bowed repeatedly to Huang Xiaolong, his face beaming with enthusiastic welcome.

By the sound of his voice, he was the “Elder” who had phoned to invite Huang Xiaolong over just now.

While amidst the crowd, Huang Xiaolong spotted “Yu Zhe,” who had previously troubled the Lin Family in Binhai. Yu Zhe had already been subdued by Huang Xiaolong, with a charm planted within him that could explode with a mere thought, holding him tightly in check, unable to make a move. If Yu Zhe was alone with Huang Xiaolong, he would have to servilely address him as “Master.”

Huang Xiaolong swept a glance over the Yu Family’s high-level officials and chuckled. “I see your ancient martial arts skills have improved quite a bit.”

Indeed, in this meeting, Huang Xiaolong clearly felt that every member of the Yu Family was rejuvenated, their spirit, energy, and strength could be described as having made leaps and bounds.

“That’s all thanks to you, the legacy of Kunlun, an ancient and complete martial arts heritage that is supreme above all. Even just one more day of cultivation can bring about noticeable progress,” the Elder hastily said.

“Hmm~~” Huang Xiaolong nodded nonchalantly.

“Young Master Huang, please,” the Elder gestured, making way.

Huang Xiaolong then followed the Yu Family’s people into the buildings ahead.

As they walked, Huang Xiaolong suddenly asked, “Eh? Why don’t I see the Yu Family’s Family Head?”

He had met the Family Head “Yu Li” the last time in the Kunlun mountain range, but today, he didn’t catch sight of him.

“This… This… This…” The faces of the senior members of the Yu Family immediately colored with embarrassment, unsure of what to say!

“Hahaha~~ I get it now, it must be because I crippled Yu Feng that the Family Head holds a grudge against me, right?” Huang Xiaolong laughed it off, unconcerned.

This comment sent shivers through the entire Yu Family!

Despite Huang Xiaolong’s frivolous demeanor and seemingly temper-free, jovial face, the Yu Family was well aware that when it came to killing, Huang Xiaolong wouldn’t even blink an eye. Hadn’t even someone as powerful as Xuanyuan Ba been neatly handled by Huang Xiaolong?

“Young Master Huang, please don’t misunderstand!” the Elder said with a sweat-drenched forehead. “It’s true that not… not a single member of the Yu Li lineage… has come to welcome you… But… I have informed them… They are definitely not absent on purpose… Perhaps, maybe… perhaps they are busy with cooperative matters with the ‘Kangs Group’…”

Not a single member of the Yu Li lineage had come!

Yu Zhe tried to explain, “Master… ahem, Young Master Huang, recently, the ‘Kangs Group,’ a transnational conglomerate ranked among the top thirty in the Fortune Global 500 and a true international tycoon, sent their CEO personally to Rong City to discuss some major cooperation projects with our Yu Family. The Yu Li lineage is in charge of the negotiations… I think perhaps they are swamped with work~~”

Before Huang Xiaolong could respond, the Elder barked at a few of the Yu Family higher-ups, “What are you waiting for? Go summon Yu Li immediately! Have him bring his lineage here right now to meet me! Otherwise, I won’t let him off easily!”

Even though Yu Li was the current Family Head of the Yu Family, the Elder was his biological father, and since the Elder Group had the power to impeach the Family Head, the Elder had the authority to order Yu Li around.

The Elder was deathly afraid that if Huang Xiaolong were to get angry, it would bring calamity to the Yu Family, so he had his clan members immediately call out the descendants of Yu Li’s branch to welcome Huang Xiaolong.

“Young Master Huang, please wait—please, we have already prepared the wine and banquet for you.” The Elder tilted his head toward Huang Xiaolong with a fawning expression that was disgustingly obsequious.

Several members of the Yu Family dashed toward one of the buildings.

Just a dozen breaths later!

“Ahh~~~~~~!!!!!!”

From within that building, there erupted a scream filled with terror!

The cry was laden with fear, horror, anger, and panic…

“What’s going on?” The Elder roared furiously, “What is happening here?”

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked toward the building, feeling a chill in his heart. Earlier, he had detected demonic energy from the Yu Family, with its source being that very building!

“Let’s go have a look.” A bad premonition rose within Huang Xiaolong.

Thereupon, Huang Xiaolong strode rapidly toward the building.

The people of the Yu Family swarmed behind Huang Xiaolong.

It was a four-story villa, grand and lavishly decorated—it must be the residence of Yu Li’s branch.

Just as they reached the entrance of the villa, one of the clan members who had rushed in to call people out tumbled out, his eyes wide with terror, his entire being seemingly collapsed, as he cried, “Dead… dead… all… all… all dead… Everyone is dead…”

“You damn fool! What do you mean, ‘dead’? Get out of my sight!” The Elder, known for his volatile temper, was infuriated to see his kinsman making a fool of himself in front of such an esteemed guest as Huang Xiaolong. He grabbed the clan member, flung him aside with a toss of his hand.

“I smell the scent of death~~~” Huang Xiaolong murmured, and then he stepped into the villa.

In the hall!

Everyone witnessed a scene that was shocking, terrifying, and utterly unbelievable!

All saw that a good twenty-something people were hanging dead in the main hall.

Their feet dangled in the air, swinging listlessly, with a long piece of their tongues sticking out, their complexions pale, already long dead!

A few of the Yu Family members who had run in to call people out were now cowering in a corner, shivering uncontrollably, their eyes filled with fear, clearly having been terrified out of their wits; they couldn’t even speak.

Huang Xiaolong glanced over, and among those hanging, he saw Yu Feng who he had turned into an eunuch, and the Yu Family Head, Yu Li… men and women, twenty-five in total.

In other words, every direct descendant of Yu Li’s line, including himself, was hanging here.

The expressions on their faces were extremely strange, as if they were smiling… meaning, in their final moments, there was no fear or pain, but rather sheer pleasure.

“Ah~~ Li’er! Li’er! Feng’er! Who did this? Who was it!!!!!!” The Elder’s cries were like those mourning the death of his own children, tears streaming down his face, a beastly growl erupted from the depths of his throat as he hurriedly rushed over.

“Master… what’s happened here? This… how could they commit suicide… it’s impossible…” Yu Zhe ran over to Huang Xiaolong’s side, his voice distorted and hoarse, his eyes brimming with an indescribable terror.

Huang Xiaolong observed for a moment, then frowned. “There are no signs of a fight. A group of ancient martial arts Great Grandmasters, especially with a top expert like Yu Li, to actually hang themselves silently in this place… hey, there really is something demonic about unusual events…”

“Yes… yes…” Yu Zhe shivered non-stop, “Even if the enemy were too strong, but… but… Yu Li and the rest, shouldn’t they at least have the capability to fight back? Could it be, they really committed mass suicide by hanging themselves…”

A member of the Yu Family suddenly speculated. “Young Master Huang, could it be… could it be because, you and Yu Li’s lineage have always had grievances, and they… they knew you were coming, feared your retaliation, and so… so they all… all committed suicide out of fear of their crimes?”

“Hahaha~~~ That’s utter nonsense. ‘Suicide out of fear of their crimes’?” Huang Xiaolong laughed uncontrollably. “Am I that frightening? If I wanted to kill them, I would have done it on Mount Kunlun.”

“Young Master Huang!” At that moment, the Great Elder cried out as he ran to Huang Xiaolong’s side, his knees giving out, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground. “Young Master Huang, with your extensive Divine Skills, please… you must help our Yu Family, uphold justice… I absolutely do not believe that my son would commit suicide!”

“Come with me.” Huang Xiaolong seemed to have been confident all along, his eyes narrowing slightly, sensing the demon aura within the villa, and he quickly walked towards a staircase entrance.

The entrance in the hall led to the basement.

Huang Xiaolong stepped down the wooden staircase, followed by the people of the Yu Family who stumbled after him.

This sudden tragedy had already thrown the Yu Family into utter chaos!

Vaguely, the people of the Yu Family all felt an ominous premonition, as if a conspiracy targeted against the Yu Family was unfolding silently!

Inside the basement, it was pitch dark.

However, the air was filled with a sweet aroma of alcohol.

Beyond that, there was also a foul stench…

“Young Master Huang… this basement is used for storing wine…” Yu Zhe explained from the side.

Snap~~~!

Someone turned on the light.

Under the illumination of the lights, another horrifying scene appeared!

In this underground wine cellar, a row of weasels hung dead!

A row of weasels hung stiff in the wine cellar, their postures mirroring the hanged people of the Yu Zhe lineage in the hall, eerily identical!

The people of the Yu Family, these extraordinary ancient martial arts Great Grandmasters, now felt chills running down their spines, as the wine cellar felt as cold as an ice cellar!

Huang Xiaolong counted, and there were a total of 25 dead weasels. The number was exactly the same as the people who hung upstairs.

“Hmm~~ This is the ‘Yellow Weasel Spirit exchanging lives’.” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “People of Yu Li’s lineage have recently been bewitched by the Yellow Weasel Spirits, tempted by the little spirits of their kind, to exchange lives and hang themselves.”

“The legend of the Yellow Weasel Spirit exchanging lives with humans has been around for a long time… but… but… Yu Li was a Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts, we martial artists have vigorous and bursting True Qi, protected by it, invulnerable to hundreds of evils, how could it be possible… how could it be possible for him to be bewitched by the Yellow Weasel Spirit?” the Great Elder said, full of unwillingness and disbelief.

Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Right, martial artists, even fierce ghosts find it hard to get close to them. Yellow Weasel Spirits are demons, not ghostly spirits, but even Yellow Weasel Spirits that have been cultivating for hundreds or thousands of years would certainly not be able to silently bewitch a group of ancient martial arts Great Grandmasters, leading them to hang themselves with smiles on their faces. This time it’s…”

All eyes of the Yu Family were fixed on Huang Xiaolong, and in the vast expanse of the wine cellar, there was dead silence.

Huang Xiaolong uttered each word deliberately. “The ancestral monster has arrived. Perhaps, only the ancestral monster could bewitch a master like Yu Li…”

Indeed, the ancestral monster had come!

Unexpectedly, after the ancestral monster arrived in Rong City, it targeted the local powerhouse, the Yu Family, first!

“Is it establishing its authority?” murmured Huang Xiaolong, “Is it signaling to the world that the Demon Race is returning to seize control and regain supreme power?”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head and walked straight out of the wine cellar, “Burn all these ancestral monster corpses.”

In the Yu Family’s conference hall.

The bodies of Yu Li and the others were laid out in the villa, and the Yu Family had already contacted the funeral parlor to bring over ice caskets.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was so heavy it seemed like it was about to drip with moisture.

“Young Master Huang… this… this… Our Yu Family, we… we have nothing to do with those monsters, there’s no conflict between us…” The eldest elder had a terrifying murderous look in his eyes, hatred filled his bloodshot eyes.

“This time the ancestral monster came to Rong City personally, stirring up trouble. The death of Yu Li and the others is just the first step, and more bizarre incidents will continue to occur.” Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment, but an idea struck him as he recalled what Yu Zhe had just mentioned.

“… Recently, a transnational corporation ranked within the top thirty of the Fortune Global 500, the truly international giant, Kangs Group, its CEO has personally come to Rong City to discuss some important cooperation projects with our Yu Family. The negotiation was supposed to be handled by Yu Li’s branch…”

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong’s phone vibrated with a new message on WeChat.

Huang Xiaolong took out his phone and opened WeChat to see.

It was a message from Qingqing— “Handsome guy, are you free tonight? Could I treat you to a meal? I was really too impulsive today; although you were only slightly scraped, I still feel awful… I genuinely want to apologize to you in person and offer you some compensation…”

‘It seems this demon has taken a fancy to me,’ Huang Xiaolong’s lips curled into a cold sneer. ‘I wonder if this Qingqing is related to the ancestral monster clan… But then, all crows under the heavens are black. Well, tonight, I’ll settle the score with Qingqing first!’

Thinking this, Huang Xiaolong quickly replied with a WeChat message, “I’m free tonight. Send me your location and I’ll find you.”

Qingqing responded promptly with a location.

Seeing the location, Huang Xiaolong was surprised to find it was in the outskirts of Rong City.

Huang Xiaolong put his phone away, “When will your negotiation with Kangs Group take place?”

“Young Master Huang, this matter was originally meant to be handled by Yu Li’s branch, but now…now…” The great elder, white-haired, was sending off someone younger than him and had eyes swollen from crying. “Forget it, let’s just let this cooperation fizzle out…”

“Young Master Huang, if nothing had happened to Yu Li, the negotiation with Kangs Group’s CEO would’ve been tomorrow,” reported Yu Zhe.

“Alright, proceed with the negotiation tomorrow. I’ll join you,” Huang Xiaolong stood up, “I have a dinner engagement and must leave now.”

As Huang Xiaolong walked away from the Yu Family’s villa district, night fell early in the winter. It was dark, and a moon was slowly rising, but its light was much dimmer than usual, devoid of its usual brightness.

Huang Xiaolong looked up and murmured, “Tonight is a lunar eclipse, an abundance of yin energy fills the space between heaven and earth. It’s a night when a hundred ghosts roam, and demons lurk…”
