Dominating Martial King

Moments later, the Lute Ghost regained consciousness and reappeared in front of Si Huangquan.

She instinctively stepped back, only to realize there was no need to retreat. The Yin Queen Core in her hand had already been taken by the other party.

"Young Master!"

The Lute Ghost looked fixedly at Si Huangquan, her voice strained.

Though she had no physical body, everyone at that moment could see from her expression that she was in a terrible mood.

"This is not good, I’m not saying it’s wrong for you to reclaim the power of Queen Yin. But this is not good, a great disaster will happen, and both the Young Master and we will die!"

"Disaster?" Si Huangquan murmured, continuing to ask: "What kind of disaster? Do you foresee something? Specifically, what is the content?"

The Lute Ghost could foresee certain futures through music.

"I don’t know what kind of disaster, only that I foresaw a death omen."

The Lute Ghost shook her head: "Ten years ago, while tuning the lute, I suddenly had this premonition. The moment you reclaim your power, Young Master, will be the day of your and our demise. So, Young Master, you must not initiate the Hundred Ghosts Inspection, absolutely must not!"

At the last sentence, she spoke almost word by word.

Si Wutian, Si Wufa, and others present exchanged glances, seeing a touch of solemnity in each other’s eyes.

Si Huangquan even furrowed her brows tightly.

While concentrating, she began to integrate the Yin Queen Core in her hand into her own body.

Before setting out, she had realized the difficulty of this path.

At that moment, Chu Xisheng flew over on the Nine Luminaries Sword Box.

"In fact, foreseeing is not something to worry too much about. We can be alerted by the death omen, but we should not fear it."

With hands behind his back, his expression was calm, and he looked at Si Huangquan with deep meaning in his eyes: "What we need to do is make all preparations, to deal with the coming crisis, and do everything possible to resolve the death omen, rather than shrink back in the face of crisis."

Chu Xisheng possessed Supreme Divine Communication and Source God Bloodline, with an ability to foresee the future surpassing that of the Lute Ghost.

In these years, he had foretold his own death crisis countless times.

"You’re right."

Si Huangquan nodded heavily, the Yin Vein Wings behind her spread even wider, with a majestic aura.

"The strategy now is just to meet the challenges head-on, fight when the enemy arrives, respond with earth when water comes."

She realized that since stepping into the Outer Domain, she had already had no retreat.

Chu Xisheng and her master, who had followed her until now, were implicated by her situation and couldn’t retreat either.

The only option at this moment is to charge forward boldly and decisively to overcome all obstacles.

She must not disappoint the few who have risked their lives to accompany her.

At this moment, the Lute Ghost was staring intently at Chu Xisheng.

For some reason, the unease caused by the death omen within her suddenly calmed down upon seeing this young man.

The Lute Ghost wondered who this person really was?

Although the young man was fair and handsome, he possessed a supreme aura, calm and unhurried, his gaze fierce as lightning, commanding respect without anger.

Seeing this person, the Lute Ghost sensed that the crisis omen that had haunted her nearly vanished.

The Lute Ghost’s thoughts moved, her figure softened as she bowed towards Si Huangquan, offering a grand rite of submission: "Young Master, please accept the Lute’s bow! Just now, the subordinate fled not out of greed for the previous master’s power. The Lute has violated the Yin Dynasty precepts and is willing to accept punishment. I ask the Young Master for magnanimity. If you must reclaim your Yin Vein, please allow the Lute to follow by your side; the Lute is willing to serve Her Majesty loyally."

Si Huangquan shook her head: "You can first seek a place to hide; it’s not too late to come when I initiate the Hundred Ghosts Inspection."

Now was not the time to assemble the subordinates.

Despite the Lute Ghost being strong among super-grade Yin Spirits, she still had a significant gap in power with them.

In case of encountering powerful enemies, the Lute Ghost would only become a burden.

After all, she currently couldn’t be like her mother, able to use the method of Primordial Power to provide Life Essence for the subordinates, forcibly enhancing the combat power of all subordinate Yin Spirits by one rank.

Si Huangquan initially planned to reclaim the twenty Yin Queen Crystal Cores before retrieving the Ten Thousand Bone Soul Devouring Banner, which would allow her to initiate the Hundred Ghosts Inspection.

Si Huangquan now thought it prudent to reclaim more Yin Queen Crystal Cores, to first elevate her own power to the Near-God Level.

The next Yin Queen Crystal Core was also in the War Origin Realm, controlled by the ’Boat Ghost’ among the Hundred Demons.

It’s actually a ghost ship with self-awareness.

It carries strong ghosts onboard and sails aimlessly at sea.

Normally invisible, it only appears during big winds and waves.

This is a relatively harmless Yin Spirit, generally not harming living people. When boatmen encounter this "Boat Ghost," just by throwing rice can ward off evil and avoid harm.

This Boat Ghost, one of the Hundred Demons, is especially formidable.

Not only can it navigate through the Outer Domain Void, but it has also cultivated hundreds of Ghost Generals on board, with the strongest twenty-four having super-grade cultivation realms.

However, these Ghost Generals are born because of the ’Boat Ghost’ and cannot exist independently apart from it.

After Si Huangquan found the ghost ship, it very readily handed over the Yin Queen Crystal Core.

Its form is quite strange, fused with the vessel, making it impossible to integrate the Yin Queen Crystal Core.

The ’Boat Ghost’ warmly invited them to board the ship, to seek other Hundred Demons.
