My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 578: Chapter 267: Who Is the Real Target

"Help me find someone."

Li Changqing’s voice was somewhat weak as he entrusted the matter to Xue Qianbai. As Xue Qianbai listened, a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Did you prepare all of this without knowing who was scheming against you?" Xue Qianbai couldn’t help but ask after hearing Li Changqing’s words.

"People."

Li Changqing chuckled and said, "In a place full of deceit, one must always be on guard."

Even Li Hengsheng, who was beside him, hadn’t expected his seemingly unreliable father to have planned so far ahead.

"Dad, what should I do?"

Li Hengsheng asked.

"Break through to the Innate Realm as soon as you can. Only when you reach the Innate can you help me." Li Changqing said to Li Hengsheng, "With the Divine Phoenix Bone in you, it’s only a matter of time before you break through to the Innate. Once your Inner Strength transforms into Innate True Essence, you’ll step into the Innate, and that will be when we reunite."

"Alright!"

Li Hengsheng nodded solemnly.

"Give the items to Xue Qianbai." Li Changqing said.

"Okay."

After speaking, Li Hengsheng opened another box from his storage ring. When he opened the box, he found that inside was another storage ring, and upon exploring it, he understood why Li Changqing wanted him to wait until he reached the Innate to open it.

Inside were various wooden carvings and Painting Treasures that Li Changqing had previously crafted.

Such numerous treasures were unusable for him until he reached the Innate. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Li Hengsheng resolved to reach the Innate Realm as quickly as possible.

"You must reach the Innate quickly." Li Changqing admonished, "You haven’t been exposed yet, but it’s only a matter of time. If one day you’re truly exposed, and I’m not by your side, things will become very troublesome. Once you reach the Innate, there will be a glimmer of hope."

"Dad, don’t worry, I’ll definitely reach the Innate soon."

Li Hengsheng responded seriously.

"I don’t have anything valuable to help you with." Xue Qianbai wanted to assist Li Hengsheng, but he never had much money, relying on his determination and his Thousand Snow Sword for his cultivation.

Indeed, he had no treasures on him.

"No worries."

Li Changqing smiled and said, "He must rely on himself for many things."

"Okay, then I’ll take my leave." Xue Qianbai accepted the items from Li Hengsheng and returned the Treasure Lotus Lamp, which had dimmed, to him. Li Changqing’s voice had vanished too, and Xue Qianbai was ready to depart.

Just then, Li Hengsheng called out to Xue Qianbai: "Vice Sect Leader."

"Hmm?"

Xue Qianbai turned back to look at Li Hengsheng.

"Be wary of the Longevity Sect." Li Hengsheng reminded Xue Qianbai.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianbai’s eyes held a flash of realization. He nodded in acknowledgment and then stepped into the sky to leave.

Li Hengsheng watched as Xue Qianbai left, then stored the dim Treasure Lotus Lamp.

He returned to Ghost City.

In the following days, Li Hengsheng focused on cultivation, striving daily to transform his Inner Strength into Innate True Essence.

Meanwhile, those transporting goods from the outer city brought back the heaven and earth treasures Li Hengsheng needed.

However, Li Hengsheng’s Inner Strength was incredibly vast.

Despite spending nearly a million taels of silver, the purchased treasures only managed to convert forty percent of his Inner Strength.

Half a month later, Li Hengsheng, as a commander, joined General De Kang in battle, repelling an attack from Blood Ghost forces outside Ghost City. The conflict was fierce, and Li Hengsheng repeatedly distinguished himself, striking fear with his spear on the battlefield.

Even two Innate Powerhouses perished by his hand.

His indomitable presence, like that of a War God, instilled terror in many.

General De Kang also rewarded him with heavenly treasures.

Thus, Li Hengsheng managed to convert fifty percent of his Inner Strength!

He stepped into the Half-Step Innate Realm.

Meanwhile.

In the depths of Cloud Wasteland.

A place of tranquility with small villages, mostly home to ordinary members of the Ghost Race, with no significant powerhouses. There were dozens of communities, housing tens of thousands of people.

They lived quietly, relying on fishing and hunting.

Their lives were peaceful; in this harsh, dog-eat-dog environment of Cloud Wasteland, it seemed like a paradise.

However, no force dared meddle with this paradise.

Because the mountain range bore a legendary name.

Qishan!

The Qishan Mountain Range.

This was a forbidden zone within Cloud Wasteland, where anyone causing trouble was courting death.

One name turned this area into a forbidden zone.

The terrifying name of the Ghost Lord of Qishan.

There were long-standing rumors that if the Ghost Lord of Qishan desired to be Realm Master Cangyuan, he’d have the highest chance. Yet, the Ghost Lord of Qishan seemed disinterested in world affairs, neither expanding his power nor seeking dominion, content only in guarding his territory.
