Chapter 109: 87, 88. Blind “Crown Prince”, Season Spring is Unsentimental, Cause and Effect are Inevitable (Major Chapter – Subscription Request) _5

Xiao Hongliao knew one of the methods.

And when she was teasing Ding Sigu, she had done that.

That was the only beautiful memory.

Ding Sigu got up and stumbled toward the medicine pouch.

Special herbs that Xiao Hongliao carried with her were all in this pouch; Ghost Servants were not adept at using external things, so they casually discarded such objects.

Ding Sigu clutched the red medicine pouch tightly.

For the first time in his life, he might have conceived a thought even more insane than doing evil—he wanted revenge, to avenge Sister Hong Liao. Sister Hong Liao’s death couldn’t be in vain, even if he was alone, entirely alone, he wanted to make that damned Ghost Servant die!

Ding Sigu opened the red medicine pouch, revealing several small cloth bags inside.

Ding Sigu recollected the steps Xiao Hongliao took in making that special powder and started to recreate it bit by bit.

After numerous attempts, he had succeeded.

Clutching the finely ground medicine powder, he drunkenly stepped out of the tent, then grabbed a servant assigned to him by the Golden Crow King and said, “Go quickly, invite the Great Barbarian King here, and say I have an urgent matter of the utmost importance.”

The servant did not ask further questions and went straight away; after all, the word of “Mr. Ding” was very important.

Immediately, Ding Sigu estimated the time and headed toward the camp where the Ghost Servants were.

He had long known where those ghostly things were hidden.

At this moment, he was a bit tipsy and wanted to grab a weapon to bolster his courage, so he casually picked up a knife from the side of the tent, then limped toward the distance as night fell, leaning on the knife in one hand and clutching the successfully created powder in the other, staggering and hobbling along.

Soon, he stopped outside the Ghost Servant’s tent, leaning against the grey-yellow tent, he moved a bit closer and started to eavesdrop.

He needed to ensure his medicine powder wouldn’t be ineffective.

This powder, capable of executing witchcraft, was called “Peeping Powder”; its effect was to make walls one-way transparent, rendering everything transparent, thus allowing outside people to easily see and hear what was happening inside, while those inside wouldn’t notice anything.

As Ding Sigu listened, he revealed a sinister smile: the Ghost Servants were discussing how to devour more lives in the next Ghost Tide, how to turn the Northern Barbarian camp into a Ghost Servant camp.

This was Heaven aiding him!

Ding Sigu glanced around and saw figures hurrying toward him.

It was the Great Barbarian King and his party!

Without hesitation, he sprinkled the “Peeping Powder” lightly.

The powder took flight and fell upon the tent.

The tent became one-way transparent.

In an instant, the whispers of the Ghost Servants inside came through.

The Great Barbarian King and the others, rushing over upon seeing Ding Sigu and about to ask questions, suddenly witnessed the astonishing scene.

The tent had become transparent, and the secrets discussions of the Ghost Servants inside were audible.

Their topic had just changed unexpectedly.

“Ding Sigu is cursed.”

“It’s fine. The Drowning Ghost from Tang River Village, she will be swallowed up soon. We couldn’t consume her last time, but now we can.”

“Yes, let’s resolve this early. Ding Sigu is smart, with Hong Liao controlling him, he’s diligently working for us.”

“Northern Barbarians, Dashang, they will all return to Yin Soil.”

The voices went on,

But Ding Sigu was already stunned, already panic-stricken.

Why did they suddenly mention him?

And…

The Drowning Ghost of Tang River Village?

Suddenly, he remembered the girl who was dumped into the water in The place where those dishonest lovers were punished.

Long-forgotten memories rushed back.

On the other side, the Great Barbarian King’s face had already turned ashen.

The Golden Crow King was about to speak, but the Great Barbarian King gave him a severe glare.

More and more people were gathering outside, and they heard more and more things.

The expressions on the Barbarians’ faces all turned to anger.

Suddenly, a Ghost Servant hidden among the Barbarians shouted, “Someone is eavesdropping outside!”

In everyone’s eyes, the Ghost Servants who had been engaged in secret talks were shocked, and immediately someone rushed out of the tent.

With a gesture from the Great Barbarian King, a giant man holding a wolf-toothed club charged forward, swung his weapon, and smashed the Ghost Servant into a pulpy mess, with blood and soil flying everywhere.

It seemed to be a signal, as the entire camp of the Golden Crow King erupted into a frenzy.

The Ghost Servants began to incite chaos, trying to kill the Great Barbarian King.

However, the Great Barbarian King was the first warrior of the Northern Barbarians—who could match these trifles?

The Great Barbarian King roared, “Those who aren’t Ghost Servants, sit down. Those who stand, die!”

He struck out wildly, his every move such that even the terrible phantom shadows of nine golden lions appeared in midair.

Every strike he made was like a lion’s claw swipe, a head shake.

Wherever his sharp fangs and claws reached, any Ghost Servant touched would die.

Ding Sigu was shocked, his hands and feet turning cold as he stood still, slowly being replaced by madness from fear.

He was screaming in his heart.

‘Do you see that, Hong Liao sister, I’ve avenged you, avenged you!’

Suddenly, he seemed to hear a sharp and swift whistling of an arrow.

He quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow sound.

But what he saw was a streak of cold light rapidly enlarging in his eyes.

Behind the cold light, there was a twisted and resentful face.

It was a Ghost Servant.

Puh!

The arrow entered the boy’s left eye and exited through the back of his skull.

In an instant, excruciating pain arrived, and his mind went blank.

Time seemed to stand still, the boy fell backward, and a scene from many years ago surfaced in his rapidly blurring mind…

It was Crippled Chen…

The archer was him…

Their figures seemed to overlap, and yet it seemed they had never overlapped.

Thud!

The boy fell to the ground, blood and brain matter spilling out.

Amidst the surrounding chaos and noise, darkness enveloped his vision.

For a long time…

And even longer…

The bodies of Ding Sigu, Xiao Hongliao, and the Ghost Servants were all burnt to ash, and the unburned bones were tossed by the river and buried in a hasty manner.

History is long, the seasons are ruthless, no matter what love or hate one experienced in life, they end up in an unnamed grave.

The Great Barbarian King sat in his tent, his expression icy, rethinking all these events.

For the first time he realized: perhaps there was a puppeteer behind the war between the Northern Barbarians and Dashang, maybe what needed to be truly guarded against… were the ghosts.

After much thought, he called for a gentry from Dashang who had been enslaved, this gentry being knowledgeable, which was why the Barbarian King always kept him close by.

At this moment, he said in a deep voice, “You say Hanping Prefecture has Soul Trainers, is that correct?”

The Dashang gentry hurriedly replied, “Certainly true, Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple should be the place for Soul Cultivation. My… my son was frightened before, his soul nearly leaving his body, and it was Hanping Prefecture’s Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple that saved him.”

The Great Barbarian King thought for a while, then said, “You, take people, bring gifts and a letter from me, and invite the Soul Trainer to meet in my camp. I have an urgent matter to discuss.”

After speaking, he added, “I will treat him as an honored guest!”
