World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2091 - 982: The Fourth Hell Rider Reveals Himself in an Unusual Way!
"Rakshasa Ghost Mother?" Lanling was somewhat bewildered to hear this long-lost name.
Lanling’s feelings towards the Skeleton Legion were complicated, mixed with a touch of dislike.
First, the Skeleton Legion was the army of the Ghost King, loyal only to the Ghost King, which was the fourth Hell Knight. Lanling respected this very much.
However, because back then the fourth Hell Knight, due to the betrayal of the Lord of Yao Xing, was filled with despair and thereby established the Ghost King Empire. Thus, the Skeleton Legion had no high regard for the Lord of Yao Xing, despite being liberated by Lanling, their attitude towards him remained cold.
The Skeleton Legion assisted Lanling twice, but both times were transactions.
Especially the latter time, it almost made Lanling feel his dignity was swept away. At that time, while Emperor Di Ming was attacking the Flame Demon Empire, to prevent Na Xue from sending reinforcements, Lanling asked the Skeleton Legion to block the route of the Na Xue Legion, restraining Na Xue, so she dared not head south to support Emperor Di Ming.
For this, Lanling had to trade the Undying Ghost Supreme with the Skeleton Legion.
Though the trade was fair, Lanling felt his dignity was compromised.
He was not a magnanimous ruler; after succeeding the Demon Emperor, the one word that came to his mind about the Skeleton Legion was banishment!
Since the entire Demon Territory was his Lanling’s domain, he wanted to completely exile the Skeleton Legion; as for where to or if they had no path, it was none of his business.
But ultimately, Lanling gave up the idea of banishment.
Because the fourth Hell Knight had awakened, considering not the monk but the temple. He had endured hardships in the Dragon Temple for thousands of years for the sake of the Demon Emperor; he was the most loyal and fanatic subordinate.
"Let her in," Lanling said.
A moment later, the Rakshasa Ghost Mother walked in, knelt, and kowtowed, saying, "Prime Minister of the Ghost King Empire, Rakshasa Ghost Mother, pays respect to the Demon Emperor, long live, long live, long, long, live!"
Just from this title, one could see the positioning of Rakshasa Ghost Mother; she regarded the Ghost King Empire as a branch of the Demon Empire. A bit like the relationship of the Ming Dynasty’s Wa Ci Khanate to the Mongol Empire.
"What’s the matter?" Lanling asked.
Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, "My lord, the Ghost King, perhaps, seemingly sent some signal to Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."
Upon these words, Lanling was immediately astonished!
The fourth Hell Knight had sent a signal to him, and through the Skeleton Legion?
"Bring it up," Lanling said.
"Yes," Rakshasa Ghost Mother replied.
A moment later, a familiar person entered Lanling’s sight.
Undying Ghost Supreme, also known as the former Candidate Sky Priest of the Dragon Temple, Sirius, and the biological father of Tianhai Qiong.
"Jade towers, too high to bear the cold!" Entering the grand aerial hall, the Undying Ghost Supreme was in high spirits and sighed.
He was still the same, half of his body decayed, bones exposed, the other half intact, with visible moving energy brain regions.
His gaze was still full of gentleness.
"Meeting anew, why does it feel as if we were once acquainted? Why do I find you familiar?" Undying Ghost Supreme gently said to Lanling: "Seeing you stirs my spirits, some good, some bad, rising within me!"
Lanling harbored pity and kindness for the Undying Ghost Supreme, with a trace of guilt. Back then, in order to protect Flame Demon City, Lanling had once forced him into madness.
Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, "Jueshi, what is it that keeps flashing through your mind, show it to Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, hearing this term almost reminds me to kneel, but my knees have long been too rigid, unable to kneel," the Undying Ghost Supreme said.
Rakshasa Ghost Mother took out paper and pen, handing them to the Undying Ghost Supreme.
The Undying Ghost Supreme took them and began drawing on the paper.
He drew a pyramid, divided into four levels.
At the top of the pyramid, a single number was written.
The second level of the pyramid had seventy written on it. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The third level, two thousand three hundred.
The fourth level, infinite.
Beside the pyramid, he drew nineteen circles, each with a complex swirl inside.
After finishing, the Undying Ghost Supreme said, "May I now expel these images from my mind? They keep flashing, interrupting my poetic mood."
Lanling said, "If finished, then you may."
Then he picked up the drawing, indeed it was the intel from the fourth Hell Knight, very clear and transparent.
This pyramid represented the top-level martial arts power of the Dragon Temple.
The top of the pyramid with the number one represented a Jueshi Powerhouse at the Dragon Temple, almost on par with Lanling.
The seventy represented the number of King-level powerhouses; two thousand three hundred, the number of Sub-King Layer powerhouses; infinite, representing countless numbers of powerhouses below Sub-King Level, negligible.
The circles beside, if guessed correctly, should represent the Dragon Temple’s giant airborne fortresses. Each airborne fortress contains a Stellar Magic Reaction Core.
The fourth Hell Knight did not directly send the intel to Lanling but rather through the Undying Ghost Supreme.
Because he once dwelled in Sirius’s brain domain, although he left later, it still left a mental mark in Sirius’s mind. To some extent, the fourth Hell Knight still retained part of his brain domain in Sirius’s mind.
Therefore, the old fourth can transmit certain images to the Undying Ghost Supreme without barriers.
Moreover, the Undying Ghost Supreme has already gone mad; his cognitive brain domain is completely different. What he paints is such a picture, but these pictures in his mind are completely abnormal mental data, a tangled mess that is even unbreakable.
In other words, the mental information transmitted by the Hell Knight to the Undying Ghost Supreme is also a bunch of meaningless mental codes. No one can decipher them because no one understands what a madman thinks. And this entire set of madman’s mental codes was designed by the lone old fourth among the knights.
So, even if the Hell Knight old fourth were dragged to the Dragon Temple for a mental examination, they would only find a heap of meaningless mental gibberish.
Lanling was amazed; this old fourth is truly a genius. Not only is he an energy studies genius who can construct a false Netherworld Rift, but also a mental genius who can devise such a crazy method to convey intelligence.
If he’s not mistaken, being discovered by his wife, Shui Hongshao, might also be a deliberate design.
Hundreds of years ago, after learning the top-secret information that Yao Xing was about to descend, he devised such a heaven-defying infiltration plan. Furthermore, he also created a perfect intelligence transmission medium for himself, which is the Undying Ghost Supreme, this community of souls.
Because he was completely certain that the Dragon Temple would not kill Sirius, only confine him. As long as the Hell Knight old fourth is not captured, Sirius (Undying Ghost Supreme) will not be executed.
Of course, no matter how formidable old fourth is, he could not predict that the Demon Emperor Lanling would discover this secret laboratory and release the Undying Ghost Supreme. But he could predict that as long as Lanling succeeds the Demon Emperor, he would surely discover the Dragon Temple’s secret laboratory and rescue the Undying Ghost Supreme. Because the entire domain of the Demon Race is the Demon Emperor’s plane, all energy imprints cannot escape the control of the Demon Emperor.
Not only that, he left a wealth of clues for the Demon Emperor, such as the Eye of the Ghost King, and deliberately communicated with the Mirror Demon King in a series of exchanges.
This Hell Knight old fourth really surpasses Yu Zecheng in brilliance.
Truly, truly, he is a damn genius.
"Your Majesty, is this the intelligence my master provided?" the Rakshasa Ghost Mother asked tremblingly.
She was extremely excited because this meant her master was still alive and was still striving for some great goal.
"Yes!" Lanling replied.
The Rakshasa Ghost Mother fell into ecstatic joy.
"You and your Skeleton Legion leave the edge of East Sea and station and stand by in the Northern Barbaric Lands," Lanling said. "You and your Skeleton Legion still belong to the Ghost King Empire. After I meet your master, we will then decide whether to abolish the name of the Ghost King Empire and whether to incorporate your Skeleton Legion into the Flame Demon Empire."
"By your command..." the Rakshasa Ghost Mother kowtowed.
Since her master sent intelligence to the Demon Emperor, it symbolized loyalty. Thus, in the absence of her master, following her master’s master’s orders was an expedient choice. Most importantly, the previous Lanling was merely the master of Yao Xing, but the current Lanling is the Demon Emperor, the master of the entire Demon Domain.
After drawing out the intelligence, the Undying Ghost Supreme was greatly relieved, and inspiration struck him. He paced within Lanling’s aerial palace, various poems pouring out, heedless of who might be around.
When he is not mad, he is truly a gentle, innocent person, and though the Demon Queen Daji was a cold person, her gaze towards him was filled with goodwill.
"Go on," Lanling ordered the Rakshasa Ghost Mother.
"By your command, I will immediately lead the Skeleton Legion into the north, then report back to Your Majesty," the Rakshasa Ghost Mother replied.
And the Undying Ghost Supreme remained within the aerial palace.
After the Rakshasa Ghost Mother left, Na Xue slowly emerged, gently snuggling into the Undying Ghost Supreme’s embrace, softly saying, "Husband, does he count as my biological father?"
Lanling nodded and said, "You may keep goodwill in your heart, but don’t be constrained by this connection. You are no longer Tianhai Qiong, you are not Dina, you are Na Xue."
"I understand," Na Xue replied.
At this moment, the Undying Ghost Supreme turned his head to look at Na Xue, his eyes stupefied, then he desperately sniffed the energy aura, seemingly trying to find a familiar scent from Na Xue, the smell of his daughter Tianhai Qiong in his memory.
But it seemed he couldn’t find it, and yet perhaps he found a bit, maybe just as he found a hint, he’d forget what that smell was.
The Undying Ghost Supreme stayed behind, Na Xue often accompanied him writing, composing poems, and even playing chess.
He is truly an exceptional person; in the few minutes of memory he had, he was scholarly, wise, gentle, and upright.
Even as a madman, he was a madman full of personal charisma.
Na Xue was a stubborn person; after her revival, she maintained a distance from Suo Mo, only keeping close with Lanling. But now, she can unreservedly show kindness and joy to the Undying Ghost Supreme.
So on occasion, Lanling had already seen Na Xue start cheating at chess with the Undying Ghost Supreme.
And the Undying Ghost Supreme would gently remind her that she is only allowed to cheat three times.
Looking at the Undying Ghost Supreme, Lanling increasingly missed this Hell Knight old fourth he had never met or known.
The top secret information sent by old fourth was so timely, so crucial.
Before, Lanling knew nothing about the power of the Dragon Temple.
Now, he had full insight.
To know oneself and one’s enemy is the key to being victorious in every battle.
A powerhouse close to Emperor Level, seventy King Level powerhouses, two thousand three hundred Sub-King Layer powerhouses, and nineteen air fortresses with Stellar Magic Reaction Cores.
The strength of the Dragon Temple is truly suffocating.
Since after Emperor E Tian, this moment marks the pinnacle of the Dragon Temple in thousands of years.
It seems that successfully rearing the Dragon Emperor has elevated the strength of the Dragon Temple by more than one tier. Yet, the Dragon Temple is truly insane, using the Dragon Emperor’s Void Bloodline to coronate seventy King Level powerhouses, no wonder the heavenly energy of the Human Kingdom is exhausted to such a thin degree.
Truly robbing the world to benefit a few.
