Chapter 1011 The Second Elder of the Ghost King Sect
“Excuse me, who is Dr. Tang Long?”
Although the old eunuch’s voice was a little sharp and unpleasant, he was still very polite.
Qin Haodong said, “I am Tang Long. What’s the matter?”
The old eunuch said, “I am Zhao Pu, the chief steward of the palace. Her Majesty has requested your presence in the palace.”
Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. He had never met the queen before. Why did she suddenly ask him to go to the palace?
He asked, “Chief Zhao, may I ask why Her Majesty wants to see me?”
Zhao Pu said, “As a servant, how dare I inquire about the affairs of Her Majesty?”
Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, “Chief Zhao, please wait a minute. I’ll just settle some affairs here and will go with you to the palace right away.”
As the chief steward of the palace, Zhao Pu was best at observing people’s expressions. He said, “Dr. Tang, hurry up. I’ll wait for you outside.”
After that, he retreated outside the room and gave Qin Haodong some private space.
As soon as he went out, Niu Cuihua said with a smile, “Hubby, you are really amazing. First, you hooked up with the second princess of the Dragon Kingdom, and now even the queen likes you. She even invited you to the palace in the middle of the night.”
“Nonsense,” Qin Haodong said with a serious look. “I felt that there was something strange about the queen, but I’m not sure what’s wrong.”
He Ziwei immediately became nervous when she heard this. “Haodong, why don’t we leave Dragon City? I feel uneasy here. What if that woman wants to harm you?”
Niu Cuihua said, “There are only two days left until the opening of the Medicine God Valley. It is a pity if we leave now.
“Besides, that’s just a guess. Maybe the queen wants to propose marriage for the second princess.”
Qin Haodong said, “Well, let’s make alternate plans. If she really wants to help the second princess propose marriage to me, I’ll push it back for a few days.
“After we are out of the Medicine God Valley, we’ll leave the Dragon Kingdom.
“If there is any conspiracy, we have no choice but to kill our way out of Dragon City.”
He now had enough confidence to fight with the Dragon Kingdom. He had improved to the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm and was invincible in the same realm. It meant that he would not be defeated if there were no masters at the final stage of the Grand Completion Realm in the Dragon City.
Niu Cuihua nodded and said, “That’s a good idea. Sister Ziwei and I will hide in the Seven Storeys Pagoda. Let’s go into the palace together.
“If something goes wrong, we will kill our way out of Dragon City together.”
“Sure.”
After their discussion, Qin Haodong sent Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei into the Seven Storeys Pagoda and then opened the door to walk outside.
“Chief Zhao, we can go now.”
Zhao Pu led the way and took Qin Haodong out of the courier station to the resting palace of the queen, Cao Yuhuan.
After he entered, he saw that Cao Yuhuan was sitting alone in the room. Although the woman’s face did not show any expression, she still looked charming for some reason.
Cao Yuhuan waved at Zhao Pu after Qin Haodong entered the room.
Zhao Pu immediately understood and left, closing the door behind him.
Qin Haodong’s heart tightened. “What was this woman going to do? Did all queens operate in the same way?”
When he was in the Tortoise Palace, the queen, Wu Yuenian, had tried to use this method to frame him.
“Your Majesty, may I know why you asked me to come here?
Cao Yuhuan did not say anything at all. She smiled gently. All of a sudden, she looked very charming. At this moment, her smile could set the heart of any man a-flutter.
This woman was so charming. He knew why Li Guangyao chose her to be the queen.
She walked up to Qin Haodong step by step, swayed seductively and circled him. Finally, she raised her hand to touch Qin Haodong’s chin.
“Little fellow, not bad. You are very canny.”
Qin Haodong took two steps back and had a look of consternation. “What do you mean, Your Majesty?”
Cao Yuhuan giggled and said, “There is no need to pretend in front of me.
“You killed Li Tianxiong, Li Tianba, and Li Tiankuo who were masters at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm in Rosefinch Kingdom, killed the Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder of the Ghost King Sect in Little Dragon City, and then snatched the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits under the first prince’s nose.
“I have to say that your means were really incredible, and you were certainly brave enough. You have done so many things to the Dragon Royal Family, but you still dare to come to Dragon City and seduce Li Mengyao.”
Qin Haodong was shocked. He didn’t expect this woman to know so much.
“What happened? Did I give myself away? Did my polymorph fail? That’s impossible.”
After a momentary lapse, he regained his composure. With his current strength, it was no big deal to be seen through by Cao Yuhuan. At worst, he could kill his way out of the Dragon Palace.
However, a doubt niggled at him. “Since this woman had seen through his identity, why didn’t she expose it in front of Li Guangyao? Instead, she secretly invited him to her resting palace. Did she intend to set a trap for him or did she have other plans?”
Although he thought this in his heart, he still wore a calm look. “Your Majesty, I am just a doctor. I don’t know what you mean.”
“You really are a doctor, but your name is Qin Haodong, not Tang Long. You are the enemy of the Dragon Royal Family.”
Cao Yuhuan said and the smile on her face became more and more brilliant, “Little fellow, don’t pretend in front of me. It’s useless.”
“Well, since you said so, I admit it.” Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I’m very curious. How did you see through it? Was there a flaw in my polymorph?”
Cao Yuhuan shook her head and smiled. “Nope, your polymorph was pretty good. You were able to disguise yourself flawlessly.”
Qin Haodong said, “Then what went wrong?”
“Because I can sense the aura of the Black Demon Pearl on you, and there is more than one.” Cao Yuhuan said, “Today, I will give you two choices. You can either give all your Black Demon Pearls to me or I will expose your identity.
“With the Dragon Royal Family’s hatred for you, as long as they know that you are Qin Haodong, I’m afraid you and your companions will not be able to get out of here alive.”
Qin Haodong was shocked. A few days ago, he had taken out the four Black Demon Pearls and studied them. Then, he put them in his Storage Ring. He didn’t know how the woman could sense their auras.
It was also due to his own carelessness. It would be better if he had kept them in the Seven Storeys Pagoda.
Seeing that he stood there in silence, Cao Yuhuan seemed to be quite satisfied with the shock effect she rendered. She smiled and said, “Which one do you want to choose?”
Qin Haodong said, “Are you threatening me?”
“Am I not qualified to threaten you?” Cao Yuhuan said, “If I were you, I would hand over the Black Demon Pearls obediently. After all, they are useless to you.
“In contrast, the two delicate beauties ought to be more precious to you.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Yes, you are indeed not qualified to threaten me.”
Cao Yuhuan was slightly surprised and then said, “Boy, do you know what you are talking about? Once I reveal your identity, the Dragon Royal Family will never let you go. You will be cut into pieces.”
Qin Haodong said cheekily, “But what if I reveal your identity? You’re the Second Elder of the Ghost King Sect.”
Cao Yuhuan’s expression greatly changed. She no longer looked charming and coldly said, “Boy, what nonsense are you spouting?”
“Am I wrong?” Qin Haodong said indifferently, “I’ve seen eight of the nine elders of the Ghost King Sect. Some of them were even killed by me. I have never met the Second Elder.”
Cao Yuhuan said, “What does that have to do with me?”
Qin Haodong said, “Only the people of the Ghost King Sect will try their best to get the Black Demon Pearls, and you know the situation of the Ghost King Sect so well. Obviously, you must be from the Ghost King Sect.
“Moreover, you have reached the last stage of the Grand Completion Realm, which can only be achieved by the Second Elder and the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect.
“It’s impossible for the Sect Master of the Ghost King to come here to be the queen. There’s only one answer. You are the Second Elder of the Ghost King Sect.”
Qin Haodong was quite stunned by the result of his speculation. No wonder this woman looked shocked when she heard the news of the death of the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder. She was not happy at all. It turned out she was also from the Ghost King Sect.
When the elders of the Ghost King Sect came out, they wore masks and did not show their faces. That was because they all had their own hidden identities.
Take the Second Elder as an example; even Niu Cuihua didn’t know her. It could be seen that her identity was well hidden.
“Not bad! You are indeed smart. You are able to even guess this.” Cao Yuhuan’s expression became extremely fierce at this point.
“However, a person who is too smart will not live for long. Other than the Sect Master, all those who know of my identity have died. You will be no exception.”
Qin Haodong was not flustered. If he had met the Second Elder of the Ghost King Sect a day ago, he would have had no choice but to run away.
However now, it was different. They were both at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm, but he was invincible in the same realm and could certainly defeat Cao Yuhuan.
Cao Yuhuan didn’t know any of this. She thought that she had the upper hand.
Qin Haodong said, “What? Are you going to kill me? Don’t you want the Black Demon Pearls anymore?”
Cao Yuhuan said, “If I kill you, I can also get them.”
After that, she reached out her hand and directly used the unique skill of the Ghost King Sect, the Netherworld Ghost Claw. A huge ghost claw rushed toward Qin Haodong’s head.
In her opinion, Qin Haodong, who was only at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm, was no match for her at all. He could only obediently be controlled by her.
Unexpectedly, Qin Haodong broke the Netherworld Ghost Claw in an instant with a punch.
When two masters at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm fought, the huge force was astonishing and instantly knocked down the surrounding houses.
Cao Yuhuan turned pale with fright and quickly dodged, but it was too late. After breaking through the Netherworld Ghost Claw, Qin Haodong’s punch didn’t stop and hit her towering bosoms heavily.
She was punched so hard that she flew backward and she even heard the sound of her sternum breaking.
Cao Yuhuan flew backward dozens of meters and hit the pillar behind her hard. Then, she spat out a big mouthful of blood. This punch had completely made her lose the ability to resist.
She struggled to get up from the ground and exclaimed, “You… you… you are also at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm? How is that possible? How did your cultivation improve so fast?”
Qin Haodong sneered and said, “Go ask Yama if you want to know!”
Just as he was about to go forward and kill the Second Elder with a punch, powerful momentum suddenly came from behind. There were countless figures rushing over from outside.
“Really fast!”
Qin Haodong didn’t want to be trapped here. He jumped up, broke a big hole in the roof, and then disappeared into the night.
