Chapter 35：Intolerable humiliation

[Later that year, when Ying heard about your breakthrough, she did not personally come to congratulate you.

Instead, she joined forces with other members of the ghost clan and planned to collectively retaliate against you.]

[You were not surprised by Ying's betrayal.

Years ago, your relationship had already shattered.

The reason for the fracture was not on your side but on Ying's.

She was a dominant woman who couldn't accept someone stronger than herself.

However, she still loved you, albeit in a twisted way. She intended to disable you and then take care of you for the rest of your life.]

[But you actually shared similar thoughts with Ying.

Although the united forces of the six ghost clan leaders were formidable, you knew that it would be difficult for them to pose a life-threatening challenge to you individually.

In a one-on-one fight, you were confident that you could defeat them in a short amount of time.

After defeating them, you planned to capture Ying and teach her a lesson.]

[Although facing an army formed by the six ghost clan leaders, their numbers were roughly equal to yours. Moreover, in the past ten years, your power as a Lord had surpassed theirs when you broke through to the Lord's level.

Even with your recent breakthrough, Mo Li's power was still no match for you. He continued to show respect and obedience, addressing you as his teacher.]

[In the following battles, it was you and Mo Li against the six leaders. To be precise, Mo Li took on one, while you took on the other five.

Despite recently breaking through to the Lord level, your strength far surpassed the normal Lord level.

Both Ying and the other four ghost clan leaders were left questioning their own existence as you defeated them.

You skillfully utilized your proficiency in a specific skill, using one punch to counter ten of theirs.]

[Before long, the six ghost clan leaders were forced to retreat in defeat. However, just as you were about to kill one of them, a powerful aura approached from a distance.

You and Mo Li ceased fighting and turned your attention to the distance, where a familiar figure appeared in the midst of the battlefield.]

["What's going on here? I've only been absent for a dozen years, and you've turned against each other like this?"]

[Seeing the smiling face of the ghost king, Anala, or rather, the ghost emperor, you were quite surprised.

Over the past dozen years, you understood exactly what he had been doing.

Every hundred years, a battle would take place among the seven ghost kings, with only one of them surviving.

The victorious ghost king would absorb the magic power of the others and advance to the status of ghost emperor.

You hadn't expected that the ghost king of your territory had actually won this battle.]

[Although you maintained an appearance of respect, inwardly you silently mocked why this old geezer hadn't died yet. If he hadn't shown up, you could have already controlled the entire ghost clan.]

[The ghost emperor didn't sense your inner criticism, and casually said, "You should all know where I've been all these years.

Now that I've successfully returned, I won't intervene in the chaos that ensued in the territory while I was absent.

But from now on, things should return to the way they were, and there shall be no more conflicts."]

[None among you dared to defy the ghost emperor's words.

He then shifted his gaze toward Mo Li, observing him for a moment before a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He proceeded to say, "Goburo, you've done a commendable job in teaching young Luli. Entrusting her to you in the first place was the right decision. This is your reward."

With that, the ghost emperor threw an eyeball towards you.]

["This is the eye of a ghost king, the most powerful in terms of eye techniques among the seven ghost kings. By exchanging this eye with your own, your eye techniques will be significantly enhanced."]

["Thank you, Your Majesty."]

[Without making a move, the ghost emperor effortlessly resolved the conflict between you and Mo Li.

This further fueled your desire to increase your own strength.

Subsequently, the ghost emperor took Mo Li away to personally train him, while you continued to manage your territory.

Currently, your territory is the largest piece of land among the remaining six powerful leaders.

Therefore, you have the most abundant resources and the confidence to stay ahead of others in the days to come.]

[That same year, you replaced one of your eyes with the eye of the ghost king, receiving the Ghost King's Eye.

This granted you the ability to unleash powerful psychic attacks while disregarding illusion techniques below the King level.]

[In the thirty-fourth year, both Hua Wu and Kaina each gave birth to a child for you.

As soon as your two children were born, they were elite-level beings, especially your child with Hua Wu, who was born as a peak elite-level creature.

As she inherited the advanced goblin bloodline and ghost race bloodline, her future achievements are destined to be extraordinary.]

[You named your daughter with Hua Wu 'Hua Yi'er' and your daughter with Kaina 'Ka Lan'er.' You didn't use the goblin surname to name your two children because you felt that goblin names were too common and didn't match the temperament of your beautiful daughters.]

[After having daughters, your mindset changed. You thought that living with your family like this seemed nice, and now you just wanted to protect them.]

[With the change in your mindset, you took a good rest for a while. Instead of spending almost all your time improving your own strength like before, you pursued changes in your state of mind.]

[In the fifty-first year, your two daughters had grown up.

They were both very beautiful and had become well-known beauties within the territory.

Your level had also increased to 60, reaching the level cap.

To reach the level of a king-level creature, which is much more difficult than becoming a chieftain-level creature, was almost impossible in a short time.]

[In the same year, Ying advanced to the king-level creature.

After reaching this level, Ying immediately came to your territory and, with her powerful strength, forcibly took you away.

After being abducted, apart from daily cultivation and intimacy with Ying, you had almost no other rights.]

[Although Ying became even more charming and seductive after breaking through to the king level, and her figure was alluring, you couldn't stand these humiliating days any longer.

You desperately cultivated, wanting to escape Ying's control.]

[In the fifty-fifth year, you learned from Ying that the more powerful a mutated creature becomes, the more difficult it is to break through.

Therefore, some creatures, even if they have the chance to mutate, choose not to.]

[In the sixtieth year, although you were already sixty years old, your appearance showed no signs of aging, and you were still handsome.

By this time, you had been imprisoned by Ying for a whole nine years.

Suddenly, you heard some commotion outside and looked out the window, only to find two beautiful girls fighting with Ying.

At a glance, you recognized them as your daughters. After nine years apart, they had become even more beautiful.]
