Chapter 304 I was completely dumbfounded!

Before her words even fell, one of the Left Prime Minister’s eyes suddenly turned into a ghostly, flickering gaze.

Inside him, Fiend Qi and Ghost Qi simultaneously surged out, striking towards the Princess.

“Left Prime Minister, what are you doing!”

The Princess’s expression changed drastically, and she rapidly retreated.

“Princess, the Tianqian Dynasty is doomed. Please accept your death!”

The Left Prime Minister’s sinister voice rang out.

His face was covered in a bizarre smile.

At this moment, he looked exceptionally terrifying, half a zombie, and the other half…

…seemed to have become a Vicious Ghost!

This guy actually underwent such a transformation too!

No wonder he didn’t directly return to Shouyang Mountain to gain the Princess’s trust.

In his current state, if it weren’t during combat, or if she got too close, there was a high probability the Princess would have noticed something was wrong.

“Left Prime Minister, you actually betrayed us!”

The Princess exclaimed coldly.

Anger also flashed in her eyes.

This was genuine anger.

Previously, the Princess had held a sliver of hope for the Left Prime Minister.

After all, the Left Prime Minister had always shown unwavering loyalty.

Of course, it was only a sliver, and she hadn’t shown it, so as not to displease Si Yan.

Now, everything was confirmed.

The Left Prime Minister had truly betrayed the Tianqian Dynasty!

The Princess was both disappointed and incredibly furious.

“Princess, this is not betrayal; this is revenge! When His Majesty destroyed this old subject’s family back then, this old subject was still an infant in swaddling clothes!”

“The hatred for a destroyed clan is irreconcilable. It is precisely because this old subject was solely focused on revenge that I did not fully use your Qian family’s secret manual, and thus escaped a calamity.”

The Left Prime Minister said in an incredibly strange-sounding voice.

He wasn’t in a hurry to act now.

Because, in his opinion, he already had victory in his grasp.

The Princess and the Imperial Advisor would also quickly turn into Fiend Corpses.

He would also complete his revenge plan.

At the same time, he would be able to seize all the treasures of the Tianqian Dynasty for himself.

The Tianqian Dynasty’s foundation was too profound.

Once he acquired all the wealth of Shouyang Mountain, he could rapidly break through to become a Ghost Emperor.

By then, he could even re-establish a Zombie Dynasty and rule the world!

Just thinking about it was exciting!

The Left Prime Minister was currently enjoying this feeling.

He wanted the Princess to know everything.

This way, his revenge, all his schemes, would seem more valuable.

“So, that incident nine hundred years ago was also intentional on your part?”

Although angry, the Princess quickly calmed down.

Her gaze swept over the two Fierce Ghost Saints behind the Left Prime Minister, and she spoke in a cold tone.

“Of course, this old subject was still somewhat affected, and your foundation is very profound. To deal with you, I naturally had to leave here first, resolve my body’s issues, and then return. So, this old subject colluded with the Fierce Ghost Saints, put on a show, and successfully escaped from Shouyang Mountain.”

The Left Prime Minister spoke smugly about his schemes.

“It seems that those affected by the upheaval a thousand years ago were all those who used the Corpse Refining Manual of the Tianqian Royal Family.”

Si Yan thought.

The Tianqian Royal Family’s Corpse Refining Manual was extremely brilliant.

It allowed one to cultivate all the way from the lowest-level Walking Corpse to above an Undying Bone, which was the level of the Emperor Tianqian.

This Corpse Refining Manual, within the Tianqian Dynasty, was not something just anyone could use.

Only core members of the Tianqian Dynasty were allowed to use it.

The Left Prime Minister, for revenge, probably worried that fully using this Corpse Refining Manual would cause some problems.

Or perhaps he wouldn’t be able to catch up to the Emperor Tianqian, so he didn’t use the entire Corpse Refining Manual.

It was precisely because of this that, a thousand years ago, after that upheaval, the Left Prime Minister was less affected.

Then, the Left Prime Minister colluded with the Fierce Ghost Saints, who coveted the Zombie World, to put on a show and escape from Shouyang Mountain.

He then spent several hundred years in the World of the Vicious Ghosts, resolving the hidden dangers in his body.

His solution should have been to turn his other half into a Vicious Ghost.

Or perhaps he utilized some forbidden method or the like.

In any case, the Left Prime Minister was fine now.

The Left Prime Minister was still speaking smugly.

The Princess watched him with cold eyes, not engaging further.

Perhaps it was the impending revenge, but the Left Prime Minister spoke with exceptional intoxication.

As he spoke, he unknowingly talked for an hour.

Only then did the Left Prime Minister realize something was amiss.

“Why haven’t you turned into Fiend Corpses yet?”

The Left Prime Minister was puzzled.

It had been so long, and the Princess and the others had fought desperately several times before. Why hadn’t they turned into Fiend Corpses yet?

That shouldn’t be!

“Who told you we were going to turn into Fiend Corpses?”

The Princess spoke coldly.

Then, a surge of Fiend Qi erupted from her body.

Immediately after, the Imperial Advisor, the Imperial Uncle, and the Great General’s bodies also vibrated with Fiend Qi.

The bloody light within the Fiend Qi completely vanished.

Their aura instantly soared!

“How is this possible!”

This change instantly stunned the Left Prime Minister!

At this moment, whether it was the Imperial Advisor, the Princess, the Imperial Uncle, or the Great General, where was there any trace of them being out of control?

Each of them exuded astonishing Fiend Qi, clearly having returned to their peak state!

This unforeseen development completely caught the Left Prime Minister off guard.

Even on his face, which should have been devoid of any expression, a clear look of astonishment could be seen.

“Impossible, you absolutely cannot have recovered!”

The Left Prime Minister refused to believe it.

He hadn’t fully adopted the Tianqian Royal Family’s Corpse Refining Manual, so he was less affected, but it still took him several hundred years to completely shake off the influence.

To be precise, it wasn’t until about a dozen years ago that the Left Prime Minister completely broke free.

He then spent another dozen years recovering his strength.

Only when his strength had almost fully recovered did he begin his plotting.

Therefore, he simply refused to believe that, in the same amount of time, the Princess and the Imperial Advisor had actually recovered!

This was impossible!

In the Left Prime Minister’s view, even the Emperor Tianqian had gone missing because of this.

Even if the Princess and the Imperial Advisor found an existence above an Undying Bone, equivalent to the Emperor Tianqian’s level, and sought their help, it would be very difficult for them to solve their problems.

Gui Creatures are inherently different.

If a Ghost Emperor were asked to solve the fundamental problem of a Ghost Lord, or even a Silver Ghost Emperor, it’s highly likely they wouldn’t have a solution.

Some powerful existences are merely powerful in themselves; they can’t be incredibly heaven-defying in other aspects.

Therefore, the Left Prime Minister refused to believe it!

“You must have found a better way to alleviate it. Huoque, Shuique, attack together! They absolutely cannot last much longer!”

The Left Prime Minister said in a deep voice.

Behind him, although the two Fierce Ghost Saints had consumed a lot, they didn’t hesitate and once again raised their Ghost Qi.

The strength of these two Fierce Ghost Saints was not weak.

One of the Fierce Ghost Saints was even close to a high-tier Ghost Saint.

If it weren’t for the natural restraint that zombie Fiend Qi had on Vicious Ghosts, the combat power of these two Fierce Ghost Saints would seem even more terrifying.

“Attack!”

The Princess and the Imperial Advisor exchanged glances, and one rushed towards each Fierce Ghost Saint.

The Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Guards, meanwhile, all charged towards the Fierce Ghost Saint that the Imperial Advisor was fighting.

They still adopted the strategy of one holding one back, and three dealing with the other.

Seeing that the Princess and the others were ignoring him, the Left Prime Minister snorted lightly, preparing to go help the other Fierce Ghost Saint.

Suddenly.

A figure flashed, and Princess Vera had already transformed into a shadow, striking towards him.

The Left Prime Minister’s reaction was swift; he swung his claws, blocking Princess Vera.

Princess Vera’s figure changed, utilizing her strengths, and launched a fierce assault on the Left Prime Minister.

“Vampire Prince?!”

The Left Prime Minister recognized Princess Vera’s identity as a Vampire Prince!

“I didn’t expect you to even collude with a Vampire Prince!”

The Left Prime Minister felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

Battles at the Prince level were not so easy to decide.

Because zombies were too tough; a Vampire’s attacks were mainly physical. He could be hit a hundred times and be fine.

If he hit someone once, and the Fiend Qi struck the Vampire, it would be enough to make the Vampire suffer greatly.

However, the current situation was too unfavorable for them.

The three of them had just fought a major battle against the Ying, Song, and Wang families, fighting three against four, and severely injuring the four Undying Bones from the three families plus their foreign aid.

But they had also consumed a large number of their trump cards.

Especially that mirror; it would be difficult to use it again in a short time.

Their consumption was also very great.

In this situation, as long as Princess Vera held him back, the Princess and the Imperial Advisor had a very high chance of eliminating those two Fierce Ghost Saints!

“Damn it, I should have rested for a while before coming back!”

The Left Prime Minister felt some regret.

But there was no medicine for regret in the world.

Before, he simply couldn’t have imagined that the Princess and the Imperial Advisor hadn’t lost control!

Otherwise, he could have rested for some time before returning to deal with the Princess and the Imperial Advisor.

Now, the Left Prime Minister could only hope that the Princess and the Imperial Advisor truly couldn’t last much longer!

“Hold them off, don’t clash head-on with them!”

While fending off Princess Vera’s attacks, the Left Prime Minister rapidly retreated.

The two Fierce Ghost Saints were also very clever. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, they had no intention of clashing head-on with the Princess and the others. Instead, they rapidly retreated, rushing towards a passage.

They planned to use the Shouyang Mountain Tomb to buy time.

Previously, they were the attacking party, actively assaulting the three families. Utilizing the Vicious Ghosts’ characteristic of moving like the wind, their offensive was extremely fierce.

Now that they were on the defensive, they could also utilize this characteristic.

But before they could reach there, four Semi-Undead Bones, accompanied by more Golden-Bodied Moon Corpses, had already blocked the passage. All the Fiend Qi converged into one stream, instantly sealing off that passage!

A sky-covering attack of Fiend Qi, even for them, would require some time to break through.

But now, their time was running out.

The Imperial Advisor and the others had already caught up.

“These Semi-Undead guys are fine too?”

Seeing the situation in the passage, the Left Prime Minister’s heart sank even further.

The two Fierce Ghost Saints fought as they fled towards another passage.

The Left Prime Minister was also fleeing.

But just as the two Fierce Ghost Saints reached the other passage, they found that it was also blocked by several Semi-Undead Bones working with Ghost Lord zombies.

If there were no pursuers behind them, they could, of course, break through the blockade.

But the problem was…

…there was no ‘if’!
