I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

At this moment, a soul suddenly appeared above the palace.

This soul body looked quietly at the palace.

"They do have some abilities." The soul murmured at this time.

After a short while, the soul disappeared into the air.

At the same time, when Xiao Mohan and Su Yuer were about to turn around and leave, "No living person has set foot here for a long time..." Suddenly, a silent voice as if coming from the underworld came faintly from the stone gate on the other side of the palace.

"Who is it? Stop playing tricks here!" Su Yu'er couldn't help but tremble all over when she heard that. She shouted in a delicate voice, and her beautiful eyes looked around vigilantly.

Xiao Mohan's expression also stiffened, and he instantly released his spiritual sense and headed towards the direction of the voice.

When he saw the scene inside the stone gate, his brows furrowed slightly and his eyes became more profound.

After a moment, Xiao Mohan withdrew his spiritual sense, turned to look at Su Yu'er, and said softly: "Madam, let's go and meet this person." After that, he held Su Yu'er's hand, and the two walked side by side along the long corridor.

Back in the hall, they came to the stone door on the left. Xiao Mohan used the same method again and pushed the stone door open easily. As the stone door opened, an equally long passage was revealed inside.

"Let's go, Madam!" Xiao Mohan gently held Su Yu'er's hand, and the two of them stepped into the passage together.

Along the way, the passage was silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the air. After an unknown amount of time, they reached the end of the passage.

What appeared before their eyes was an extremely luxurious palace, magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the seven black jade coffins neatly arranged in the center of the hall.

These coffins were as black as ink, emitting a heart-pounding chill. Inside each coffin lay an extremely terrifying corpse.

"I wonder why you have called me here, sir?" Xiao Mohan stood in front of the coffins, his face frosty, and spoke coldly.

Su Yu'er had expected this when she came in. But when she actually saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but gasp.

Seven coffins were neatly arranged in the hall. The bodies in each coffin had died at different times, with the youngest one probably being over a hundred years old.

At this moment, an old voice came from one of the coffins: "Humph, young people, you are really very brave. How dare you trespass into my territory without permission!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mohan sneered and responded fearlessly: "Since I dare to come, I am naturally prepared to deal with it.

"You cunning fellow, stop playing tricks on me and get out here right now, or I'll be merciless!" His face darkened slightly, and he gathered his spiritual energy in his palms. With a wave of his palms, a powerful stream of Qi shot towards the coffin in front of him.

There was a loud "bang",

The heavy lid of the coffin was blown away.

At the same time, the corpse of an old man, which looked like a withered man, slowly floated up from the coffin. His pair of dry and sunken eyes stared at Xiao Mohan intently, and he roared angrily, "You rude young man! Since you are so impatient, I will grant you your wish today!"

Xiao Mohan stood there with an indifferent expression, a powerful aura emanating from his body. His cold eyes were fixed on the corpse of the old man in front of him.

At this moment, Xiao Mohan released the spiritual energy in his body without hesitation.

The powerful and unparalleled true energy rushed straight towards the old man's body like a torrent.

"Ah... Damn it! You have actually reached the state of great perfection of spiritual transformation!" The old man's roar resounded throughout the palace.

Although he was filled with resentment and unwillingness, facing Xiao Mohan's terrifying strength, he could only watch his body being crushed by the violent true energy.

In an instant, there was a horrifying sound of shattering. Under the impact of the true energy, the old man's bones broke into pieces, one by one, and scattered all over the ground.

"I won't accept this. You ignorant youngster, you will be punished and sent to hell!" With a final shrill roar, the old man's body completely dissipated.

Xiao Mohan's mind moved, and a wisp of ancient cold fire appeared on his fingertips, and the deep white flame was jumping.

He flicked his fingers, and the ancient cold fire with deep white flames swept towards the remaining corpses.

In the blink of an eye, all the corpses were devoured by the horrific flames and disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Mohan's face was as gloomy as water. He looked around and said coldly, "What's the point of hiding? Why don't you get out here right now? My patience is limited."

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly floated out from a coffin. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a soul emitting a faint light.

"Child! It seems that I did not choose the wrong person. You are really outstanding." The soul spoke softly, and the voice sounded a little ethereal and unreal.

Hearing this, Xiao Mohan couldn't help but frown slightly. His sharp eyes stared coldly at the soul in front of him, his eyes full of vigilance.

"I just want to test your kung fu. I have absolutely no intention of harming you!" The kind and gentle voice slowly came out from the soul.

When Su Yu'er heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, raised her beautiful eyes, and looked carefully at the soul body.

I only saw his soul floating around, and it could dissipate at any time, and it could never condense into substance.

Looking at the appearance of this soul, I think the old man must have worn a simple cotton robe when he was alive. His face was kind and approachable, without any dignity at all.

"I am Xiao Mohan, the junior, and this is my wife, Su Yuer. I am honored to see you today." Xiao Mohan said politely, and they bowed together.

"Hehehe..." The soul body saw this and showed a relieved smile on his face. He chuckled and said softly: "I like you two very much."

After a brief pause, the spirit body continued, "I'm sure you must have many questions in your mind right now, especially about my past.

I might as well tell you that I am the previous emperor of Qingyun Kingdom—Ling Hao."

"What?" Su Yu'er's delicate body trembled violently when she heard that. Her face was full of astonishment. Her cherry lips opened slightly, but she was speechless for a while.

Her mind flashed rapidly with what she had heard when she was a thief.

Wasn't Ling Hao's body taken over by his younger brother? Why does his soul still exist?

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan looked at each other.

Xiao Mohan looked at Ling Hao and said calmly, "Senior, your body has been taken over by someone else!"

"Yes! It's hard to explain! It's all my fault for being careless. I never thought that my daughter-in-law and brother would peek at me and be concerned about my body. Sigh..."

"Senior, can you explain it in detail?"

"Okay! Just don't laugh at me for being stupid!

This Concubine Rong is my daughter-in-law. During my time in seclusion, she made soup for me almost every day. After a long time, I let down my guard.

That day, before she came to bring me a pot of soup, she happened to arrive at the critical stage of my practice of the Clone Technique.

I controlled the newly condensed clone, and while testing it, I resolutely separated a part of my soul and left with it, wanting to see how long it could stay away.

Now think about it, if I had not condensed this clone at that time, I would not even have the chance to become a wandering ghost!

"What you see now is just a soul clone that I separated that day." Ling Hao spoke calmly.

Su Yu'er looked at Ling Hao and couldn't help but say: "I told you, your body has been taken over by someone else, where does your soul come from?"

Then, she continued, "I have to say, Senior, you've experienced such a great calamity and were lucky enough to survive. It can be said that those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future!"

“This old man has never thought about the past. Desire can blind a person and make him ignore everything!

After hovering on the brink of life and death for a while, I finally came to terms with it." Ling Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Ling Hao then continued, "Just now, I witnessed with my own eyes that you successfully took possession of the precious Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Jade.

Presumably, you have already obtained the mysterious inheritance it contains. You should know that this Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Jade has existed in Qingyun Country for hundreds of years, but no one has been able to penetrate the secrets of its inheritance.

Now it seems that everything in this world requires fate. Only those who are truly destined to be together can be lucky enough to receive the true teachings. "Ling Hao said kindly.

"Senior, this Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Jade is a treasure of your Qingyun Country. Don't you have any complaints about it being obtained by us outsiders?" Xiao Mohan asked Ling Hao with a sharp gaze.

"Why should I complain? This is your chance, your fortune, and you are the destined one to receive this Purple Phoenix Jade Blood Jade." Ling Hao said with a kind face and gentle tone.

Su Yuer glanced at Ling Hao. This old man was a man of courage, determination and knowledge.

She asked respectfully, "Senior, don't you feel aggrieved? Don't you want to take back your body?"

After hearing this, the old man was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "Alas, it's not that I don't want to! It's really that I am powerless!

Now, I have to rely on these corpses to survive.

I cannot leave these coffins for too long every day. Once the time limit is exceeded, my soul will begin to wander.

"The last bit of my soul will completely dissipate between heaven and earth and turn into nothing!" Ling Hao said helplessly.

"Besides, I don't want to take over someone else's body because I've suffered greatly from it, so I don't want others to suffer the same pain as me."
