Chapter 1329: Hoodwinking the Skeleton King

Chu Linfeng felt this way in his heart, but he considered this possibility to be unlikely. Perhaps there were still beauties like Meng Ji among the residual souls here. At this moment, he needed to check the specific location of the Soul Mushroom and could directly obtain it once it matured.

After glancing at the residual souls and skeletons in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, Chu Linfeng quietly approached the back of the purple Skeleton King, but still kept a certain distance. This guy’s strength was extremely formidable, and he absolutely could not allow himself to be discovered.

The residual souls became very excited upon hearing the Skeleton King’s words, each hoping to have the chance to obtain a body, even if it was just a skeleton body. It would be worth rejoicing, as there’s still hope to restore the flesh someday. For a moment, the residual souls that could speak started calling out excitedly.

The purple Skeleton King slowly walked toward a corner, moving at a slow pace and occasionally looking back, as if he had discovered something but lacked enough to make Chu Linfeng worried, “Could this guy have discovered me? If so, that’s truly terrifying.”

After a few breaths, the Skeleton King stopped. Chu Linfeng saw a black mushroom not far in front of him, but this mushroom seemed unreal, faintly appearing and disappearing with a trace of energy fluctuations on it.

“That’s the Soul Mushroom!” Chu Linfeng’s heart suddenly became excited. His Divine Sense felt besides energy fluctuations, the Soul Mushroom had strong Power of Soul, possibly the main reason for repairing the soul.

“This Soul Mushroom hasn’t yet formed a physical entity; it’s truly worrying. Although half a month is a short period, I am still concerned someone might come and seize it. It seems I must set up a restriction here to feel at ease.” The Skeleton King muttered to himself.

Chu Linfeng felt a bit frustrated hearing this. The Skeleton King’s strength was exceptionally strong, so the restriction he set would be challenging to break. Yet he cannot stop him at the moment, leaving Chu Linfeng a bit at a loss.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Linfeng suddenly had a flicker of thought. He instantly manifested a Golden Body; this was the Fire Golden Body. Since Celestial Fire has a mighty attack power against souls, the residual souls are naturally afraid of Celestial Fire, perhaps able to hinder the Skeleton King from setting the restriction.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t crafted the Bright Golden Body; otherwise, he could display the Bright Golden Body to hide right in front of the Soul Mushroom, directly obtaining it upon maturity, catching the Skeleton King off guard.

The appearance of the Fire Golden Body indeed caused a sensation, and the Skeleton King immediately halted, “Who is so bold as to recklessly invade my Ten Thousand Demon Cave!”

The Fire Golden Body couldn’t speak, yet Chu Linfeng could control it with Divine Sense, allowing his voice to emerge from its mouth, “I’m just here for a cup of celebratory wine; what are you nervous about? Are you surprised?”

Upon hearing this, the Skeleton King was indeed surprised. He had just mentioned the joyous event, and this brat already knew, undeniably peculiar. Yet he currently lacked eyes, two vacant eye sockets fixed on the Fire Golden Body as if attempting to see through it.

“Who are you? Why are you here? If you want to drink celebratory wine, it’s not the time yet; come back in half a month!” the Skeleton King issued the order to leave, clearly not wanting anyone to disturb him.

“Of course, I’m your old friend. Didn’t you remember well? You really think I fell during the last Immortal-Demon War? I just changed to a new body. Isn’t that surprising?” Chu Linfeng replied.

The Skeleton King slightly hesitated, “You’re the Yin Yang Demon Emperor? How could that be? I heard you’ve been obliterated, how could you appear here?”

“Obliterated? You underestimate me too much. I’m the strongest in the Demon Realm, how could the Immortal Realm’s clowns be my opponents? Although a powerful adversary did appear during the last Immortal-Demon War, I defeated them, and my current body is theirs. Don’t underestimate this body; its defense power is incredibly strong.” Chu Linfeng laughed, taking his deception to the maximum.

“Since you’re not dead and have acquired a body, why are you here? Are you thinking of eyeing the Soul Mushroom again? This time I won’t give it to you, I’ve been waiting for this Soul Mushroom for tens of thousands of years. You promised not to contest it with me back then, lest you, the strongest of the Demon Realm, break your promise?” Skeleton King said.

“I never said I’d contest the Soul Mushroom with you. I came this time for the residual soul of the woman I brought here. Is she alright?” Chu Linfeng deliberately said, wanting to see if his judgment was correct.

“You’re talking about Meng Ji? Her residual soul is still very weak, currently in slumber. You’d better not disturb her, if you truly consider me a friend, you can come to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave for my celebratory wine in half a month if you’re not here to make trouble, I won’t fear you!” Skeleton King replied.

“Why get angry, I never said I wouldn’t leave, I just want to check on her. She’s a rare beauty in the Demon Realm; it’s not wrong for me to care about her, right?” Chu Linfeng spoke.

“Hahahaha! Yin Yang Demon Emperor, you still have the nerve to say that. Meng Ji’s body was possessed by you; if you truly cared for her, how could you possess her body and bring her residual soul here? Moreover, let me tell you, Meng Ji’s residual soul has only three souls and six spirits; one spirit remains unknown, I think it was most likely devoured by you.” Skeleton King said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng was shocked internally, “It seems Wei Qun’s claim that Meng Ji sealed residual souls within herself is accurate. I only need to bring her three souls and six spirits back to the Immortal Realm to heal her, and the Soul Mushroom may completely restore her damaged soul, possibly making her soul even stronger.”

Though thinking this inwardly, he didn’t say it, instead laughing, “I’m not that foolish, her soul has one spirit sealed within her body. As for the reason, I’m not quite sure, but her flesh was seized during the Immortal-Demon War by the Immortal Realm people. I don’t know why they’d take her body; do you know the reason?”

“Reason? I might know a bit but dare not confirm. I heard Meng Ji mention someone named Chu Linfeng; don’t know who this Chu Linfeng is. Did you hear about this person during your trip to the Immortal Realm?” Skeleton King asked.

“Chu Linfeng? This person was the strongest master of the Immortal Realm I defeated. My current body is his; it seems Meng Ji is not simple. How is she now? Let me see her, I promise not to take her away from here. I know you like her, and as a gentleman helping another succeeds, I just want to learn about this Chu Linfeng from her. Honestly, I can’t fully control this body right now; there’s a trace of residual soul within it I can’t devour. The only condition for this residual soul to leave my body is to meet Meng Ji’s residual soul.” Chu Linfeng displayed the ultimate in deception, feeling a bit shameless himself…
