Chapter 752 - 51: The Ghost Emperor's Pact! Even the Dead Must Be Managed (Part 2)
The key lies in whether Lu Shanjun himself has such an idea.
The positions of divine power in the East are constantly changing. If Lu Shanjun rises to become one of the Four Symbols, the White Tiger, then the position corresponding to the Tiger of the Wood will be vacated.
Duncan roughly knows who his potential enemies are.
If he wants to go all out, he must consider one thing: finding some people to replace the positions in Heaven.
Is there anyone daring enough to replace the Almighty in this world?
Hasn't he devised a team for Heaven yet?
The bonfire suddenly transformed into a faint Ghost Fire.
Ji Shaojiang couldn't help but move closer, then slowly retreated. She stared at Duncan in front of her, seemingly pondering, and after a long time, said: "I can assist you, but I'm not your servant."
"Is it possible?"
After all, it is a six-star silver-gray marked unit. Although its strength fluctuates, it is still an ultimate expert in the Dao Entrance Realm.
This request is not excessive.
Duncan nodded and said: "It is."
The enchanting woman continued to gaze into Duncan's eyes and said: "I don't like getting close to strangers. If I serve you, I should come and go as I please, unrestrained, only obeying your orders."
"Is it possible?"
This request is not excessive either.
Duncan nodded again and said: "It is."
Ji Shaojiang seemed somewhat tempted. She finally paused for a moment and said: "If I secure the title of Ghost Emperor one day, I shall reclaim my freedom."
"Is it possible?"
Duncan directly agreed and said: "No problem."
Why should he manage so many people?
As the so-called Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, one should possess the ability to overturn the table at any time. It's not necessary to manage so many things, so many people. Wouldn't it be better to enjoy oneself in leisure, accompanied by music and dance?
Duncan is considering promoting people to add burdens to them while he enjoys himself.
Promises are worth their weight in gold.
Ji Shaojiang's mysterious eyes were fixed on Duncan in front of her as she respectfully fell to the ground, performing a Spring and Autumn Era kneeling ceremony, vastly different from the current etiquette, and softly bowed down: "My lord."
This title reminded Duncan of the Three Kingdoms Era.
He stepped forward to help the enchanting woman up, captivated by her alluring, peerless beauty for a brief moment before finally raising her.
If Duncan had not been the King of Kings once, seen countless beauties, he might have been engrossed even longer.
"It feels somewhat like the enchanting beauty ability of a Western Enchanting Demon."
Duncan reached out and touched Ji Shaojiang's body, cold as ice, without a trace of human warmth, with an intense, sinister aura, but not the True Yin Qi of Lady Jade Face. It was another even more bizarre power.
Just by approaching her, Duncan had the illusion of his Yang energy being slightly absorbed.
Luckily, he had plenty of Yang energy and wasn't afraid.
Physical contact.
Ji Shaojiang's throat unexpectedly moved slightly, as if swallowing, her gaze toward Duncan full of desire, before immediately regaining composure. She hurriedly got up and with a flicker moved several meters away like a ghost, bowed her head, and said softly: "My lord should refrain from touching me lightly."
"I fear the uncontrollable desire for vital blood."
Oh?
Duncan glanced at the mysterious eyes of the enchanting woman, then at his arm, and asked: "Do you feed on blood?"
Ji Shaojiang slowly nodded, her eyes inexplicable.
Duncan continued to ask: "Then during this time, where do you obtain blood food?"
Ji Shaojiang lowered her head, remained silent, and after a moment said: "Hunting along the way."
"Be it people from the martial world, masters in the army, or wild beasts and demons."
Duncan said calmly: "Have you ever hunted innocent civilians?"
Ji Shaojiang remained silent again, after a long pause said: "Since waking up until now."
"Never."
"But past events, I don't quite remember."
No lies.
However, in this chaotic world filled with monsters that kill and eat humans, it's not surprising even if she did.
Duncan shook his head and sighed: "Then in the future, avoid using innocent civilians as blood food. If you want to secure the title of Ghost Emperor, you cannot be tainted by too much karma."
Ji Shaojiang bowed again and said: "As you command."
Duncan asked: "If you don't consume vital blood, what happens?"
Ji Shaojiang softly said: "Frenzy."
"As if possessed."
This is somewhat troublesome.
Duncan pondered for a moment and asked: "Do you want to suck my blood?"
Ji Shaojiang suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with some astonishment as if she had guessed something, and slowly nodded: "Yes."
Not just wanting to suck, she was practically drooling.
If not for reason telling her that cooperating with Duncan was the best solution, she might have already made a move.
Duncan rolled up his sleeve and raised his hand: "Go ahead."
Ji Shaojiang looked at the man in front of her, hesitatingly said in a low voice, "If I suck your blood essence, Master, I fear you will suffer a major loss of vitality."
Duncan replied indifferently: "It's fine."
"If my essence is truly damaged, I will naturally repel you."
Right now, he is halfway into the Dao Entrance Realm, confident in suppressing a spectral body.
The impossibly beautiful woman gulped, glanced up at Duncan's expression, and looked down at his outstretched arm, her expression extremely hesitant.
Duncan again said: "Go ahead."
"Since you are willing to serve me, I can spare a bit of blood essence."
The generosity of the King of Kings, behold.
The Blood God Technique of the Demon Sect, although chaotically altered, still had a strong effect of refining blood essence, and Duncan had his own ways of restoring vitality.
Ji Shaojiang finally acted, her crimson lips glinting with a cold light akin to sharp fangs, directly biting hungrily into Duncan's arm. Blood spilled without a drop wasted as she greedily sucked and licked, changing her form back into that of a young woman as she absorbed Duncan's blood essence.
"Kind of like a vampire."
Duncan observed her marked status. Once it turned red, he would instantly take action.
But it didn't; instead, it gradually shifted to a light green, friendly mark.
The Life Bar kept dropping, bit by bit.
The True Yuan Bar also declined, though not by much.
When the gorgeous woman lifted her head, Duncan checked his status; the Life Bar was down by a third, and the True Yuan Bar by a fifth, all within an acceptable range for him.
Is that it?
Just a bit and she's full?
Ji Shaojiang looked extremely astonished; the blood essence she absorbed was enough to sustain her for a while.
Normally, to be satisfied, she would need at least a master of the Innate Realm as a blood meal, but seeing Duncan unfazed, he almost seemed to say, "If you're not full, feel free to take another bite."
This man's essence was overwhelmingly abundant.
The Barbarian among Barbarians.
Not lacking in anything but a thick Life Bar; Duncan's human form didn't have a single poor physical quality.
He looked at the wound, noting a fatigue debuff; it was nothing special; any Barbarian after a Frenzy would feel a bit weary.
"Not a big problem."
"Consider it raising an Eastern vampire."
Duncan activated the Everlasting Youth Technique, his Life Bar slowly recovering, and the wound healing faster. The True Qi of Withering Wood's Glory could heal wounds, converting the True Yuan Bar to the Life Bar.
Ji Shaojiang looked at the man before her, bowing again with grace: "Thank you, Master, for the blood."
Duncan nodded calmly, astonished by her transformation, and resisting that uniquely enchanting ability, he said faintly: "Do not casually massacre innocents."
"I emerged by oath to bring peace to the world."
"If you act recklessly."
"I will have to kill you as well."
"In the future, if you need to consume blood essence, just come to me. There's no need to kneel constantly."
"I don't like people kneeling to me."
When he was the King of Kings in the West, he disliked kneeling, and even more so here in the East.
Stand up, bow, and give a salute, that's enough.
Unless for major occasions, there's no need for grand kneeling ceremonies.
Ji Shaojiang respectfully lowered her head: "Yes."
Duncan looked up at the moonlight, suddenly leaping up, startling distant birds, soon followed by piercing screams that quickly ceased.
Causally killing a few bandits, just to restore the Life Bar.
By the time Duncan returned, he was in peak condition, his Life and Yuan Bars full, even the fatigue debuff gone.
This truly is the Divine Power of the Outer Heaven Demon.
But unlike his skill of seizing cultivation and strength from others, the Outer Heaven Demon's ability seems more like recovering state through slaughter.
He realizes why his Demon Technique cultivation progresses so quickly.
Back in Dangshan.
Duncan once seized a person's life, who happened to be an Elder of the Demon Sect possessed by an Outer Heaven Demon.
This connection of cause and effect is truly profound, as if even fate itself is helping him.
