My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 575 - 266: Li Changqing in the Lamp

Upon hearing Lord Zhou’s words, Li Hengsheng remained silent.

"Let’s go back."

Seeing that Li Hengsheng didn’t speak, Lord Zhou didn’t continue either, but spoke to the people outside.

The elder in yellow driving the carriage returned to the city.

The other soldiers brought back Hai Dongsheng’s body.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. As they were about to reach the city gate, Lord Zhou suddenly said, "Your opponent is Monarch Yuehan and the entire Celestial Sea City. This matter is almost impossible to resolve, I can’t do much to help you. So I have already written a letter to a trustworthy person, who should be arriving soon. Perhaps when he arrives, he can find a way to help you."

"Hmm?"

Li Hengsheng was taken aback.

Who?

But Lord Zhou just smiled silently, saying nothing.

Upon returning to the city, Lord Zhou had Li Hengsheng get off at the city gate, not wanting others to know about their relationship.

Immediately, a piece of shocking news spread through the city.

Hai Dongsheng is dead!

Hai Dongsheng colluded with the enemy and was caught red-handed by the Governor. He attempted to assassinate the Governor but was ultimately slain.

The evidence was conclusive.

They even brought back the body of the Blood Ghost who colluded with the enemy.

This incident shook the entire Ghost City.

The City Lord was also somewhat furious and summoned General De Kang.

Li Hengsheng, however, was unaffected and returned to the General’s Mansion. Sitting on his bed, he took out the Treasure Lotus Lamp, and spoke to the now calm lamp, "Father, what should I do?"

The Treasure Lotus Lamp remained motionless.

He hadn’t reached the Innate Realm, and without Innate True Essence, he couldn’t truly activate the Treasure Lotus Lamp.

Li Hengsheng also pondered about the person Lord Zhou mentioned who would come to help him.

Who could it be?

By evening.

Three commanders in the mansion were called by General De Kang for a meeting.

The entire General’s Mansion was filled with anxiety.

Until the next morning, General De Kang appeared in the square, summoning all his captains. No one knew what was happening or why they were being gathered.

When Li Hengsheng arrived, he saw Hong Shen winking at him with a smile.

It gave Li Hengsheng goosebumps.

This guy couldn’t be a queer, could he?

But the other two commanders didn’t show Li Hengsheng friendly looks.

"Li Yun, step forward."

General De Kang glanced at Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng stepped forward.

"You must have all heard about Hai Dongsheng’s collusion with the enemy." General De Kang said slowly, "Hai Dongsheng’s death is unworthy of regret, but after his death, there is a vacancy for a commander. Li Yun, I now appoint you as the new commander and hope you will serve our General’s Mansion well in the future."

These words stunned everyone present.

Li Yun became a commander?

He became a captain just a few months ago!

"General!"

At this moment, a captain discontentedly stepped forward and said, cupping his fists, "Li Yun just became a captain not long ago, and generally, to become a commander, one should at least be in the Innate Realm. There are quite a few in our General’s Mansion with such cultivation. Normally, shouldn’t the new commander be chosen from among them? Why Li Yun?"

"If you’re dissatisfied, you can challenge Li Yun. If you win, the position is yours." General De Kang was too lazy to explain.

"I..."

The captain was at a loss for words.

Fight Li Hengsheng?

That would be courting death.

They had all seen Li Hengsheng’s performance at the City Lord’s Mansion banquet earlier; one-on-six was no problem for him.

"Thank you, General." Li Hengsheng said, cupping his fists.

"It was Commander Hong who strongly recommended you to me yesterday. You should thank him." General De Kang said.

Then Li Hengsheng understood Hong Shen’s meaning.

"Thank you, Commander Hong."

Li Hengsheng said to Hong Shen.

"No need to be so formal between brothers." Hong Shen was very pleased. He had always been at the bottom among the four commanders, but since Li Hengsheng came, his status soared significantly. With Hai Dongsheng dead and Li Hengsheng becoming the new commander, he was considered his own.

With this, in the entire General’s Mansion, wouldn’t it be him and Li Hengsheng in charge?

No wonder the other two commanders weren’t pleased with him. Li Hengsheng quickly understood.

Li Hengsheng never expected to become a commander so soon.

The news startled many in Ghost City. To become a captain and then a commander in such a short time.

Limitless prospects ahead.

Soon, quite a few notable figures in Ghost City came to congratulate Li Hengsheng and brought gifts.

Li Hengsheng accepted them without hesitation.

As a commander, one could receive quite a few resources from the City Lord’s Mansion every month, especially since Ghost City itself was resource-rich, often plundering, abundant in resources. The more he obtained, the quicker Li Hengsheng could enter the Innate Realm.

With this, Li Hengsheng commanded several thousand Ghost Race soldiers.

He didn’t need to personally participate in small-scale expeditions.

The five captains under him would lead the troops.

Li Hengsheng knew that, besides Hong Shen’s recommendation, Lord Zhou must have also played a role behind the scenes.

Otherwise, becoming a commander wouldn’t have been so easy.

However, ever since the return from outside the city, Li Hengsheng and Lord Zhou hadn’t been in contact.
