Chapter 405: 9.24 Second Blue Star – Feng and Lou Clans
At the Feng Clan’s Mansion
Feng Hou hurried home after leaving the Ghost Festival. Took the fastest way to return back to his clan. Even wasting his emergency Teleportation Charm that was given to him by his grandfather just so he could speak with his father and grandfather about Xue Hua. He reported every detail of what happened during the ghost festival. Even the part where he forcefully opened his heavenly eyes just to see through that group. Feng Yan’s father is the current Leader of their clan, Feng Ku. His grandfather is one of the highest elder and former clan leader Feng Shi. This old man is the strongest Shaman of their clan.
Feng Shi spoke to his grandson, “Hou’er you did a good job returning and reporting this important thing to the clan.”
“Inborn Extreme Yin Physique. If this is real then we need to have those children enter our clan.” Said Feng Ku.
“A’Ku sent people to gather information about those brothers. After we verify things I will go with Yan’er to meet the child myself.” Said Old Shaman Feng Shi.
Feng Hou spoke, “Grandfather, Father if we need to bring him over to the clan then this child is willing to marry him in.”
Once he spoke of this everyone inside the room was shocked and rendered speechless. This is their clan’s prince. He is the sole scion of their Feng Clan and had the strongest strength after Old Shaman Feng Shi. Because of his prestigious standing, no one except the old man is able to move his decisions. His father and the elders have been trying to ask this young prince to get married to someone. They wanted someone to support him.
It really doesn’t matter to the Feng Clan whether their prince married a woman or a man as their clan had ways to make a man bear a child for them. With the help of their ancestral bloodline of the Phoenix Race, their clan was never fully human. But this young prince has never had any romantic bone in his body like a bloke of rock unmoved on anything well until today. This is the first time this young prince says that he is willing to marry someone and that someone happened to be the Ghost King’s consort.
Stunned Feng Ku asked, “Are you, sure son?”
“I am serious, father. If it is him then I am willing to marry him as my only wife.” Replied Feng Hou with a serious face.
Feng Shi held his long beard, “Hou’er, tell this old man why you are so obsessed with the Ghost King’s Consort. This must be the real reason why you decided to inform us about his special physique. If your reasoning is sufficient this old man is willing to help you get your chosen person.” Said the old shaman.
Feng Hou was reluctant at first as he knew that his grandfather sealed his Heavenly eyes. Telling him the reason is like informing the old man that he removed seals without permission. But his obsession with Xue Hua outweighs his fear of getting scolded and honestly gave the old man an answer.
“With my Heavenly eyes, I saw that his soul has the purest shade of gold. The golden soul is something Xue Hua possesses.”
Once his answer was out, everyone in the room was rendered speechless. This time even the old shaman was shocked, and their slumbering ancestor’s soul woke up suddenly speaking out.
Phoenix Ancestor soul’s voice resounds in the area. “Child! Did you surely see a pure gold soul!?”
Everyone from Feng Clan greeted, “Greetings to the Esteemed Ancestor Feng!?”
“Okay. Enough with greetings. Child of Feng. How sure are you that the human child you saw possesses a pure gold soul?”
“I am 100% sure, Ancestor! I’ve used my heavenly eyes to check. Xue Hua indeed possesses a pure gold soul and his elder brother Xue Yan possesses a light gold soul which even matched the Fox God’s current soul cultivation. I can swear with my life!” replied Feng Hou.
Once Feng Hou finished those words their ancestral phoenix god descended before them in a human form. A young man with long crimson hair and a pair of orange inhuman vertical irises appeared before them with wings of flames on his back. It is obvious that he is a Phoenix God that the Feng Clan reveres. Those who are of Feng Bloodline kneeled in his presence including in this group is old man Feng Shi and his direct family line as they had the purest bloodline of Feng.
“No need to salute twice. I’ve descended for only one reason. It is because of those children whom you said possess shades of gold soul. This deity’s name is Feng Houye. You guys can call me Lord Feng.”
“This little one is called Feng Shi. Lord Feng, do you wish for us to take the children with golden souls before you?” the old man shaman said.
Feng Houye asked, “I heard that he is married to a Ghost King. Are you talking about that Ghost King that the Lou Clan serves?”
“Must be Lord Feng. I heard that his wife was called Hua surnamed Xue.” Replied Feng Hou.
A frown appeared on Feng Houye’s face once he heard his descendants answer. It seems he knew the real identity of the Ghost King that the Xue Clan serves.
Feng Houye spoke, “If he is indeed him then it is not possible to take his wife by force. Even though I am a Full God, that Ghost King which a Fox God serves really decided to fight for death then this world will end. He is a being that is supposed to be the first one to ascend in the Immortal Plane but decided to remain here only for one reason.”
“My Lord, what is his reason?” asked Feng Shi respectfully.
“He told me he was waiting for someone. He stayed in the mortal plane for a whole millennium waiting for something he didn’t know what it was. If the one he was waiting for is his current wife then… we can only bring over the gold soul if we are able to kill him.” said Feng Houye with an extremely ugly expression on his face. “I will make my decision once I see the gold soul myself but first I need to see the Xue Clan descendants check on something.”
Feng Shi, “This old man shall accompany Lord Hou.”
“Prepare luxurious gifts. After going to Lou Clan I will meet the Ghost King Xie and his consort.” Said Feng Houye.
Feng Clan Members, “Understood Ancestor Feng Houye!”

At the Lou Clan’s Place.
The Current Clan Leader of Lou Clan, Lou Ming heard the report about his two illegitimate children as well as Feng Hou’s request to visit their clan to inquire about what happened regarding his current consort, Xue Hua.
Lou Ming asked his son, Lou Lan. “Lan’er what is the meaning of this? You’ve told me that Xue Hua and Xue Yan are dead! What is this now? One married the Ghost King while the other is the Fox God’s Bride to be!”
“D-Dad. They were really dead. I got men beat Xue Hua half dead before we threw his body in the Ghost King’s Palace. This is true! As for Xue Yan, I had someone send him and that annoying Ou Ya to a village as sacrificial pawns. There is no way he could return alive!” said Lou Lan. “You must believe me, Dad.”
“Sigh~ Lan’er I…” before Lou Ming would complete his words to coax the child, a messenger entered his office urgently.
“Clan Leader!” yelled the messenger who suddenly came over.
“What is it now!?” asked Lou Ming.
“L-Leader. You should read this.” Said the messenger who passed him a message with the crest of phoenix.
It’s a letter from Feng Clan. Seeing this Lou Ming reads the letter seriously only to be shocked by the content of the letter. According to the letter it says that Old Shaman Feng Shi will be accompanying an esteemed elder of the Feng Clan as well as the Feng Clan’s Young Prince to visit the Lou Clan for tomorrow. There are no other details but just the fact that Old Shaman Feng Shi is coming over is enough to shake the whole Lou Clan into chaos. It is obvious that in their spiritual world the name of Feng Shi is a prestigious one. It could be said that he is a famous figure and is well known to be the strongest shaman of the said Feng Clan.
A frown emerged from Lou Ming’s face as he finished reading the letter. “Make preparations for the guests tomorrow.” Ordered the clan leader to his clan’s men.
The messenger then left the office together with the servants to follow their clan leader’s orders. Lou Ming looked at his son beside him and his frown disappeared as soon as he did.
Lou Ming smiled, “Lan’er, come with dad. It’s time for you to meet our ancestors.”
Lou Lan asked, “Ancestor? Dad, what are you talking about?”
“Come with me?” said Lou Ming as he pulled his son and brought him to some basement.
—
In some hidden basement under the Lou Clan’s Territory.
The underground was excavated to clear a huge area. Within the wide cave, a black altar was standing, within the place, the pungent scent of blood and flesh lingers. As they got closer to the altar the awful smell of death and blood got stronger. Lou Lan felt fear and wanted to run away but his father is gripping his wrist tightly preventing him from leaving.
“D-Dad. Where are we? This place is disgusting. I’m scared.” Said Lou Lan while acting pitiful towards his father but within his heart, he had cursed his damn old man to death.
Lou Ming spoke with his son gently trying to coax him but he didn’t let go of his grip on his thin wrist. “Dad is going to introduce you to our ancestor, Lan’er don’t be scared.”
Lou Lan was pulled by his father towards the altar. Before the altar is a huge bed, Lou Lan was horrified with what he just witnessed. On the huge bed, countless naked young female and male bodies were splattered on the floor. There are numerous black bruises on their skin, bloody bite marks, and traces of vigorous sex. If one would look closer he could see that the holes used for sexual activities were abused to the extent that cannot be explained in words. The eyes of these people were long-lifeless and dead. If not for the slight movement on their chest that one would think they were all corpses.
As they got a meter away from the bed, the sound of flesh slapping and ambiguous sounds of squelching can be heard. A hoarse but loud screaming from pain and pleasure resounds in the whole place. On the top of the bed, Lou Lan saw a handsome but evil-looking man banging a naked young man under him mercilessly with an evil grin on his face. This person bears long white hair and black inhuman eyes. He has white and pale skin. This man is a fallen celestial deity, a Yaogui King.
A Yaoguai spirit is a malevolent animal spirit or fallen celestial deities who acquired magical powers through the practice of demonic means. Their goal is to gain immortality and subsequent deification. They were literally called demons. Demonic beings who get stronger through the means of consumption of holy or virgins. They eat the blood and flesh of virgin beings to cultivate their means. They are lustful and evil.
This man is the very reason why the Lou Clan was not afraid of going against the Ghost King in the original plot. According to the real ending of this world’s story, After Lou Lan successfully married Feng Hou, he brought him over to this ancestor and shared with this man. Lou Lan becomes the bait that brought over men with the structure to share with this ancestor.
Adding the fact that his constitution is more useful when he is alive, this man lets him live, using him as a honey trap to get new prey with a special bloodline like the Feng. After the Protagonist Gong and Villain died the world slowly fell under this Yaoguai control making the world hellish and inhuman.
