Chapter 221 Ghost King

Time passed day by day, and in the next few days, Huo Lingchuan devoted himself to the preparations for the farewell party.

He personally selected the songs to be sung and practiced them repeatedly, hoping to leave a perfect memory for his fans.

While preparing for the fan meeting, Ji Sheng did not forget what Huo Qinghuang had said.

He deliberately selected a venue with extremely strict security measures and carried out detailed inspections on every link to ensure that there were no mistakes.

Ji Sheng has always been very efficient. In just a few days, Huo Lingchuan’s fan farewell party was almost ready.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

"Huo Lingchuan is going to quit the entertainment industry? Are you kidding me! Isn't he very popular?"

"Oh my god, is my Chuan Chuan going to quit the entertainment circle? No!"

"What happened? Why did you suddenly quit?"

Fans left messages on social media to express their shock and sadness.

The comment section of Huo Lingchuan's Weibo was instantly flooded with comments, even causing the server to crash.

Huo Lingchuan felt a little emotional as he looked at the messages that kept popping up on his phone screen.

He opened Weibo and posted a brief statement:

"Thank you for your continued support and companionship. Retiring is a decision I made after careful consideration, and I hope everyone can understand. The road ahead is still long, and I will continue to move forward in another way."

As soon as this Weibo post was released, it immediately sparked greater discussion.

Fans have speculated on the reasons why Huo Lingchuan retired from the entertainment industry. Some speculated that he wanted to transition to working behind the scenes, while others speculated that he wanted to go back and inherit the Huo family's property.

However, Huo Lingchuan did not make any further response.

On this day, Huo Qinghuang was punching and sweating in the martial arts arena, practicing the True Phoenix Body Refining Technique.

After devouring evil spirits for all this time, she accumulated a lot of merit. The black blood in her soul finally disappeared a little, and she was able to use a little of her soul's power, which would no longer cause her soul to collapse.

With this bit of spiritual power, she practiced the True Phoenix Body Refining Technique more quickly, and the speed at which the divine blood in her body condensed also increased visibly.

Everything was going in a good direction. She was more confident in returning to the top, and when she punched, the momentum was even greater.

The bodyguards around looked at their young lady with admiration and couldn't help but follow suit with their hands.

Just as everyone was immersed in the martial arts moves, the voice of Butler Wang suddenly rang out, "Miss, there's someone outside, saying they want to see you."

Huo Qinghuang paused while swinging his fist and said calmly, "Please ask them to come in."

Butler Wang opened his mouth and wanted to say that the visitor was dressed strangely, actually wearing a Taoist robe, but when he saw that his eldest daughter looked calm, he swallowed his words back.

Forget it. The eldest lady has always been unfathomable. She must have figured out who the person is. There is no need for him to say anything more.

Soon, Butler Wang came in with a few people.

They were dressed in Taoist robes and walked hurriedly. The leader was holding a whisk and had a smile on his face. It was Wu Chenzi.

"We have come here uninvited and are disturbing you, please forgive me."

Wu Chenzi bowed and said with a smile.

Huo Qinghuang looked at Wu Chenzi and his group calmly, nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite. You must have agreed to my conditions by coming here. When are you going to set off?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chenzi choked slightly.

He hadn't even explained his purpose when the other party finished speaking. How could he respond?

But Wuchenzi is Wuchenzi after all. He paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "We have already investigated clearly that this ghost king is indeed an existence that escaped from the underworld. He is extremely powerful. If we don't stop him in time, the human world may suffer a disaster.

If you have no other important matters, how about we set off immediately?"

Huo Qinghuang nodded and said, "In that case, tell me the information you have about the Ghost King. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."

Another Taoist priest beside Wuchenzi stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am Wuxinzi, nice to meet you. According to our investigation, this ghost king is a fierce ghost who has been practicing in the underworld for thousands of years. He was an evil cultivator in his lifetime and was proficient in many evil arts.

He has a group of little devils under his command, all of whom are insidious and cunning, and difficult to deal with. Moreover, he seems to have a magic weapon in his hand, which is extremely powerful. We are really unable to resist it, so we come to ask fellow Taoists to help."

Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

This person is also from the Wu generation, so he must be Wu Chenzi's junior fellow apprentice.

Another glance fell on the magic sword behind Wu Xinzi.

This sword exudes an obscure and mysterious aura. It must be the Tiangang Sword, the most precious treasure of the Sanqing Palace.

However, the Ghost King also has a magic weapon in his hand. Was he a cultivator when he was alive?

Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly and thought secretly in his heart.

The power of this Ghost King is indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder the people of Sanqing Palace couldn't deal with him and had to seek external help.

Fortunately, Huo Qinghuang has never been afraid of challenges. The stronger the opponent, the more it can inspire her fighting spirit.

What's more, she has now recovered a bit of her spiritual power, so it won't take much effort for her to deal with a ghost king.

"Is the Ghost King still there?"

Huo Qinghuang asked.

Wu Chenzi nodded: "He is still in that barren mountain, 400 kilometers away from the imperial capital. However, he seems to be looking for something and has never left."

Huo Qinghuang's heart moved. Could it be that the Ghost King has already sensed that the spiritual energy of the human world is about to revive, so he wants to occupy the mountain and become the king in advance?

She looked up at the sky, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's set off immediately."

Everyone acted quickly. Huo Qinghuang opened the underground garage of the manor, where several specially modified sports cars were parked. The cars had smooth body lines and exuded a technological metallic luster.

It was the first time for Wu Chenzi and others to ride in such a nice car, and they were a little excited for a moment.

Da Liu was called up again and had no choice but to become Huo Qinghuang's driver.

Wu Chenzi and others got into another sports car, driven by a bodyguard from the Huo family.

Along the way, the sunset was gradually replaced by the dark night, and the outline of the barren mountains was looming in the night.

Huo Qinghuang communicated with Wu Chenzi through the in-car communication system: "The Ghost King is very powerful, you must be careful.

After entering the barren mountain, do not act rashly. Wait until you are sure of the location and status of the Ghost King before making any plans."

Wu Chenzi nodded in agreement. After hearing this, the faces of the others became even more serious. The atmosphere in the car became tense and solemn.

After more than three hours, the car arrived at the foot of the barren mountain.

After getting off the car, Huo Qinghuang looked up at the mountain.

Although the mountain was shrouded in darkness and could not be seen clearly, one could vaguely see the towering cliffs, like a sharp sword across the sky.

Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold gleam in her eyes.

"Let's go up!"

She shouted softly, then quickly rushed towards the mountain.
