Seeing her father kneel to Wang Xiaoqiang, Mingyan's delicate brows furrowed, a flash of shame and anger crossed her pretty face, her eyes turned cold, and she immediately charged with a great Vajra Rod in hand, smashing it down toward Wang Xiaoqiang's head.

Wang Xiaoqiang activated his willpower, releasing the Three-Layered Golden Shell from within his body to protect himself completely.

The next moment…

Clang!

The Vajra Rod struck against the Golden Shell, emitting a ringing metallic sound.

Even though both were made of Vajra, the Vajra Rod couldn't crush the Golden Shell; instead, it was knocked flying back, the force so great that it flew out from Mingyan's hands, her palms cracked, and Blood Pearls oozed out.

Mingyan was stunned. After all, she was a Ghost General Level Ghost Cultivator. Logically, in the Corpse Qi-infused Ghost Territory, dealing with an Immortal Sage should not lead to her defeat, let alone such a miserable loss.

Yet, with just one move, she was defeated so devastatingly.

She stared at Wang Xiaoqiang in shock, as if looking at a Demon Spawn.

The Crescent Moon Cave Lord, a Ghost General with a round face and big ears, was also dumbfounded, his mouth agape, astonishingly realizing that Wang Xiaoqiang's defensive power was unexpectedly formidable.

His daughter's heavy strike not only failed to harm Wang Xiaoqiang in the slightest but also rebounded and severely injured her.

Seeing this, he grew even more terrified, kowtowing to Wang Xiaoqiang, repeatedly pleading, "Merciful hero, calm your anger, please forgive my daughter, she is inexperienced..."

Wang Xiaoqiang was not someone known for showing mercy, especially to these Ghost Cultivators, he never hesitated. A cold snort escaped him as he drew out the Heaven and Earth Whip and swung it toward Mingyan.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang attack, Mingyan immediately formed a Corpse Qi Shield around her body for protection.

The Heaven and Earth Whip wrapped around Mingyan, tightly constricting the Corpse Qi Shield but not her body.

A fortunate and slightly smug expression surfaced on Mingyan's face.

"Break!" Wang Xiaoqiang's cold voice uttered, and as the word left his lips, the Heaven and Earth Whip tightened suddenly, shattering the Corpse Qi Shield, then coiled like a snake, tightly binding Mingyan's dainty body.

Mingyan's fair face turned crimson, even her breathing grew rapid.

"Merciful hero, spare my daughter's life, I beg you to spare her life, after all, she is half-human," the Crescent Moon Cave Lord pleaded earnestly, clearly cherishing his daughter dearly, despite being just a minor Lord, his affection for her surpassed even that of a Ghost King.

Wang Xiaoqiang remained unmoved, giving a flick of his wrist, the Heaven and Earth Whip slithered like a snake once more, squeezing so tightly it almost deformed Mingyan's delicate figure.

Mingyan seemed like someone strangled by a giant python, her eyes bulged slightly, her entire skeleton emitted frightening cracking sounds as if about to snap at any moment, yet she gritted her teeth, not uttering a sound. Her cold, beautiful eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang filled with animosity.

"Doesn't feel good, does it?" Wang Xiaoqiang sneered, "Just ask for mercy, and I'll release you."

"Mingyan, stop being stubborn, quickly plead with him to spare your life," the Crescent Moon Cave Lord urged frantically, almost begging in tone.

"I would rather die than be humiliated, do it then," Mingyan said, closing her eyes, showing a calmness in facing death.

"No, no, please no, sir, you mustn't kill her, she's my only daughter, if needed, take my life in exchange for hers, kill me!" the Crescent Moon Cave Lord implored.

A flicker of emotion crossed Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, the Heaven and Earth Whip loosened from Mingyan.

Noticing this, the Crescent Moon Cave Lord immediately kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, sir, for your mercy in sparing her, I will never forget your great kindness."

Wang Xiaoqiang's voice rang cold and clear, "You don't need to thank me, I didn't spare your daughter because of you."

Mingyan opened her eyes, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang with a puzzled expression.

"I spared her not because she is half-Human Clan, but because she has integrity!" Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, his voice growing cold again, "However, my patience has its limits; if she dares to disrespect me again, I will surely kill her."

Upon hearing this, Mingyan's brows raised, about to retort, but unexpectedly, the Crescent Moon Cave Lord rushed up, covering his daughter's mouth, then said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Rest assured, sir, she will never dare again."

Pulling his daughter away instantly, they disappeared through a small crescent moon-shaped door into a hidden chamber.

Shortly afterward, the Crescent Moon Cave Lord returned, pointed at a soft mink couch, smiling at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Sir, please sit, I'll have refreshments prepared to welcome you."

Wang Xiaoqiang lay down on the mink couch, exhaling contentedly, "I must admit, you are a cunning Ghost Cultivator; such cunning wasn't something I appreciated before, but now it pleases me greatly. Alright, if you comfort me well, not only will I spare you, but I'll also reward you…"

Hearing this, the Crescent Moon Cave Lord's eyes brightened with delight, "Rest assured, sir, I will provide the best service," he said, clapping his hands as two flamboyant Ghost Servants emerged from the hidden chamber inside.

They approached the Crescent Moon Cave Lord, bowing deeply, "Lord of the Cave."

"Meet the grand hero," the Crescent Moon Cave Lord restored his authoritative demeanor, instructing the two Ghost Servants regarding Wang Xiaoqiang.

The two Ghost Servants, eyes downcast, dared not even lift their heads to look at Wang Xiaoqiang, responding meekly, taking delicate Lotus Steps forward to meet Wang Xiaoqiang, bowing deeply, "Meet the grand hero!"

The Crescent Moon Cave Lord instructed again, "The grand hero is weary, give him a massage..."

Upon hearing, the two Ghost Servants obediently stepped forward, extending delicate hands to massage Wang Xiaoqiang, but he waved them off, "Forget it, who knows what they are, I don't want to dirty myself..."

The two Ghost Servants quickly withdrew their hands, stepping back, heads bowed deeply, standing with slight trepidation.

The Crescent Moon Cave Lord immediately grew anxious and fearful, offering, "Sir, would you prefer if I fetch other women from different Cave Abodes for you to choose from…"

"No need, I have my own," Wang Xiaoqiang said, activating his willpower, releasing Little Mei from the Sumeru Ring.

Suddenly seeing a live person appear on the ground, the two Ghost Servants recoiled in fear, uttering low cries.

The Crescent Moon Cave Lord was also taken aback, instinctively focusing his gaze, when he recognized the girl's face on the ground, he trembled with fear, falling to his knees, stammering, "Princess Mei!!"

The Ghost King ruled the Ghost Territory, essentially the Emperor of the Ghost Territory, and as the Ghost King's daughter, Little Mei was naturally a princess. Though most Ghost Cultivators might not know Little Mei, a Lord of the Cave wouldn't be unaware of the princess. (To be continued.
