Chapter 1784: The Only Blood Relative
The Monkey King was once commanded by the Jade-faced Judge to annihilate that family and found a portrait identical to the Jade-faced Judge.
The owner of that portrait was the head of the family six hundred years ago.
Su Yang had always been puzzled about what was going on. He suspected the Jade-faced Judge might have lived over six hundred years.
Now, with these words from the Jade-faced Judge, everything was revealed. It was not that he lived six hundred years, but over a thousand years. That family was indeed the Jade-faced Judge's family. He murdered those people and destroyed the evidence to ensure no one could uncover his past identity!
The second elder was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He stared at the Jade-faced Judge in shock: "You... you killed the descendants of the family you established yourself? Do you know that those people are your descendants? Within them flows your blood. They are your offspring, and you are their ancestor. How can you do such a thing?"
"Hehe..." the Jade-faced Judge sneered coldly: "Second elder, are you stupid? I am from the Ghost Clan. How could I possibly have descendants with the Human Clan?"
"What... what do you mean?" The second elder was confused.
"Those so-called descendants are not mine!" The Jade-faced Judge said coldly: "They were just some people I deliberately left behind to cover my tracks. In reality, those descendants have no blood relation to me!"
The second elder paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "I get it. Your wife put a green hat on you, resulting in those descendants. Hahaha, it's truly interesting, so amusing. A master as powerful as the Ghost Clan being cuckolded by his wife, haha, if this gets back to the Ghost Realm, I wonder how many will laugh their heads off!"
The Jade-faced Judge's expression was calm. Not a trace of anger crossed his face as he replied with a cold laugh: "Those are not my wife. They were simply some slaves I captured from the Human Clan. The children they bore were also my slaves, nothing more than tools for my work. Do you think a slave is qualified to discuss any green hats with me?"
The second elder frowned, realizing now that angering the Jade-faced Judge on this matter was impossible.
"So you killed those people!" The second elder took a deep breath and suddenly glanced at the door's direction, speaking coldly: "What about Ge Kaiyang? What about the Ge Family? Don't you love that grandson the most? Will you also uproot them, kill them all?"
"Nonsense!" The Jade-faced Judge exploded in rage: "Yang'er is not like them at all!"
The second elder noticed the difference: "What's the difference? Aren't they all your slaves?"
The Jade-faced Judge stared at the second elder and suddenly laughed: "What, still trying to trick me into speaking? No need to trick me. You are already about to die, so it doesn't hurt to let you know. The truth is, Yang'er, is unlike those slaves. He is my successor, my heir. He will inherit everything I possess, especially the Human World. Once I breach the Boundary Point, I'll rule the Human World for a time, then hand everything over to Yang'er. From now on, the Human World will belong to Yang'er!"
The second elder was utterly shocked, unable to understand why the Jade-faced Judge would favor Ge Kaiyang so much. To him, they were all his slaves, weren't they?
"Ge Kaiyang, what exactly is his relationship with you?" The second elder asked in a deep voice.
"Hahaha..." The Jade-faced Judge laughed heartily: "He is the only one with a blood relation to me!"
"What?" The second elder was stunned: "Didn't you say Ghost Clan and Human Clan couldn't have descendants?"
"But his mother is different," the Jade-faced Judge said softly: "His mother carries the blood of the Ghost Clan. I don't know how she managed it, but she indeed bears my child!"
The second elder was dumbstruck, sharply catching the sentence's implication, and exclaimed: "She bore your child? So Ge Kaiyang is not your grandson but your son?"
The Jade-faced Judge showed no awkwardness, nodded calmly with a smile: "What, you only figured it out now?"
"You... you... you had a child with your own daughter-in-law?" The second elder said, shocked: "Don't you find it shameful?"
"Haven't I made myself clear enough?" The Jade-faced Judge replied: "In the Human World, the only person with a blood relation to me is Yang'er. As for that so-called son, hehe, haven't you understood my meaning?"
The second elder was dumbstruck, now realizing that those so-called sons were not the Jade-faced Judge's offspring. Therefore, he did not have to worry about any moral issues.
The Jade-faced Judge casually tossed the second elder aside, stating calmly: "Everything I've done today is for Yang'er. Once the matters in the Human World are settled, I'll return to the Ghost Realm, and my position will be elevated once again. Hehe, my thousand-year hibernation has finally paid off!"
The second elder watched the increasingly hideous expression of the Jade-faced Judge, and his heart was filled with fright. Once the Boundary Point to the Ghost Realm opened, the Human World would be completely doomed!
However, he now could do nothing. There was no way for him to prevent this from happening, and he genuinely began to regret the things he had stirred up before.
He believed he could manage the Human World for the Heavenly Realm, only now realizing that everything he had done was all for someone else's benefit. Not only that, once the Ghost Realm was opened and the Human World fell, he would become the eternal sinner of the Human World!
The Jade-faced Judge turned his head to look at the orb not far away, chuckling lightly: "This orb was left behind by a great god from the Feather Realm, and its power is immense. With my current strength, breaking the Ghost Realm's seal would be impossible. But with this orb, not just the Ghost Realm seal, but even seals of other worlds can be easily broken. Hehe, second elder, you will witness history here. When the orb's gathered power suffices, it will be time for me to open the Ghost Realm. Isn't it exciting?"
The second elder's face turned pale. He realized the countdown to the destruction of the Human World had begun. However, at this moment, he remained powerless, only able to watch as everything unfolded.
The Jade-faced Judge stood with hands behind his back, his face brimming with excitement. He had waited incredibly long for this day.
The light atop the orb began to grow brighter and brighter, indicating the nearing accumulation of power. This light cast sinister shadows on the Jade-faced Judge's face and filled the second elder with extreme fear.
At this tense moment, a sound of fighting suddenly erupted outside, accompanied by cries of misery. It felt as if someone was rapidly approaching the basement!
