There is a restaurant in the floating city.
The restaurant is called "Youjian Restaurant". The name was given by Song Shiqiao, who said that it would be able to benefit from the fame of Wujian Restaurant.
On the top floor of the restaurant, there is only one private room, from which you can overlook the entire city.
The chess king is currently inside, feasting and drinking.
The round table in front of them was filled with all kinds of dishes, including delicacies from the human world and specialties from the ghost realm, as well as platters of various spiritual fruits and fine spiritual wine.
He had a white beard and white hair, and originally had the air of a hermit, but his eating manners were very vulgar.
They don't know how to use chopsticks, so they just grab food with their hands, leaving their hands and faces covered in grease.
Just as he was enjoying his meal, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.
He wasn't surprised, because he had already sensed that a Ghost King had come to the floating city, but when he looked up, he was immediately stunned.
"You... how do you possess the aura of the Ghost King?"
When Xia Tianqiong left the human world, he only had the strength of a Ghost General, but in just a few months, he has gained the aura of a Ghost King.
Moreover, it seems to be much more powerful than the average Ghost King.
The chess king was utterly astonished, then a possibility occurred to him, "You wouldn't already be the king..."
He paused abruptly at this point.
Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
He came on his own. The Ghost Bride had gone back to the town's prison tower and would return in a few days.
I need to make some preparations these next few days, so I'll come back in a few days and hold the wedding directly.
Xia Tianqiong stared at the chess king with a cold gaze, but a strange smile on his face.
"I heard you've been eating and drinking here for free, and you're not paying me?"
Upon hearing this, the chess king felt relieved.
This is definitely not Jun Shisan; Jun Shisan would never care about such a trivial matter.
"You took my chessboard, so shouldn't I eat something from you? If I hadn't helped you stop those three treacherous kings, would you have been able to escape?"
The chess king regained his relaxed demeanor, picked up his wine glass, and began drinking the spirit wine as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Xia Tianqiong sneered disdainfully, "You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you, the capital wouldn't have suffered that calamity, and those three ghost kings wouldn't have come to the human world."
"Besides, it was only after my Sixiang intervened that the three Ghost Kings were intimidated, giving me a chance to escape. You were utterly useless."
The chess king raised an eyebrow and slammed his wine glass on the table with a loud bang.
"If I hadn't stopped those two treacherous kings, you would have been killed before the King of Qin arrived."
"Regardless of the circumstances, I have helped you. You must return my chessboard and consciousness, or this matter is not over!"
"Oh? What do you mean it's never over?"
Xia Tianqiong's right corner of her mouth gradually turned up, and her entire demeanor subtly changed.
The chess king was oblivious, preoccupied with expressing his dissatisfaction. He suddenly stood up, radiating a powerful aura, as if he were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.
"Don't think that just because you have the strength of the Ghost King, you can challenge me. I became a king tens of thousands of years ago."
"You're still too green. Don't force me to take action, or you won't be able to handle it."
"Heh, you wicked kings, why do you think that the longer you exist, the more powerful you are!"
Xia Tianqiong shook his head and sighed softly, then said indifferently, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to waste words with you. You should just die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chess king's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt a large amount of power of rules inexplicably appear within his body.
Before he could react, his body exploded with a bang.
The violent force instantly shattered everything in the room, even destroying all the doors and windows on the top floor of the Youjian Restaurant.
If it weren't for the protective runes on the buildings of the floating city, the entire restaurant would have been destroyed.
The Chess King did not die immediately; the explosive Netherworld power quickly condensed, attempting to reform.
Of all the chairs on the top floor of the restaurant, only the one Xia Tianqiong was sitting in was intact.
He sat there, legs crossed, watching with great interest.
The chess king's figure gradually solidified, and at the last moment, he made his move once again.
With his right hand, he grasped a wisp of true spirit in the void, and with his left hand, he slashed through the void, using the power of reincarnation to shatter the opponent's consciousness into three pieces.
"Old Huo said that the Ghost King's consciousness can enable Ghost Generals to advance to Ghost King level. Today, I'll test it on you."
With a thought, Xia Tianqiong summoned Old Man Wang, the old woman in the burial clothes, and the ghost who was burned to death.
With a wave of his left hand, three segments of consciousness enveloped in the power of reincarnation floated in front of the three Ghost Generals. "These are the consciousness of the Chess King. Take them and refine them to try to advance to Ghost King level."
The three cunning generals looked at each other, then their faces lit up with ecstasy.
"Thank you, boss!"
They expressed their gratitude in unison, then each collected a wisp of consciousness before returning to Xiao Tao's ghostly realm to slowly refine it.
However, Old Man Wang was the last to leave, and he specifically spoke to Xia Tianqiong about it.
“Boss, during the time you were unconscious, we ghost generals fought together against the Pig-Headed Ghost King, but those beast-headed ghost generals stood by and watched the show without doing anything. And that white wolf is no good either; he'd love for you to be replaced by his sovereign.”
I suggested we try to wake you, but he stayed by your side, preventing me from getting close. His intentions are despicable!
Xia Tianqiong frowned slightly, then smiled nonchalantly, "They're just minor matters, I'll take care of them in a bit."
Old Man Wang left with a smile, heading to Xiao Tao's strange realm to refine the Chess King's consciousness.
Xia Tianqiong still held the Chess King's True Spirit in his right hand. After a slight hesitation, he sighed softly, "Considering that you helped me fend off the Ghost King, I will revive you!"
The next moment, he used a resurrection technique, consuming a large amount of Netherworld Gold, to reshape the ghost body and consciousness.
At this point, the Ghost King had lost all his memories, including all his insights into cultivation; he only possessed the basic level of the Ghost King.
