Chapter 151: The Shadowy Son

The car drove in the darkness for more than forty minutes before finally coming to a stop.

This seemed to be a secluded manor, very quiet within the estate, but brightly lit.

Both Su Mengli and Su Guodong got out of the car, and then Su Mengli saw that her mother was indeed here.

Just like the one Su Mengli had seen before, she was sitting in a chair with a large crack on her head.

Watching this scene, Su Mengli said to Su Guodong, “You didn’t bring me here just to see this, did you?”

Then, applause was heard, followed by a voice saying, “Truly worthy of the SSS-class Flame Red Lotus, indeed a masterful artist with great courage, I did not misjudge you.”

Soon after, a middle-aged man in black slowly walked over.

His face was gloomy, his cheekbones prominent, his tall and thin figure exuding a sharp gaze, giving off a very intimidating vibe.

Su Mengli looked at the man and asked, “Did you dig out my parents?”

The middle-aged man replied slowly, “The term ‘dig’ is inaccurate, you should say, I brought them back to life.”

Su Mengli looked at Su Guodong, then at Zhang Xiulan, and said, “You call this resurrection?”

The middle-aged man sighed, “I dug them out a bit late. If it were earlier, they would look more like living people now, just like my family.”

Beside the middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman appeared, along with a boy and a girl.

The woman was his wife, and the boy and girl were his two children.

Su Mengli looked shocked at this scene, could these three people also be similar to her parents?

She stared blankly for a few seconds before saying, “You turned your family into this as well?”

“No, no, no, they were killed by someone. I managed to bring them back to life through various means. In fact, your parents can also look no different from living people, as long as they dress up a bit more,” the middle-aged man explained.

Su Mengli shook her head and said, “I’m fine as I am now, I don’t need them to accompany me. Who are you exactly?”

The middle-aged man immediately replied, “I apologize for forgetting to introduce myself. I am The Yin Emperor, the ruler of the underworld, able to control life and death!”

Su Mengli observed the man and asked, “Control life and death? You just made lifeless things move, that doesn’t really count as controlling life and death, does it?”

The Yin Emperor chuckled, “You are also an Awakener, you should understand that as your ability develops, it will become stronger. Sooner or later, I can truly control life and death.”

“Then why did you bring my parents here, what is your purpose?” Su Mengli inquired.

The Yin Emperor smiled, “Let’s cooperate. Our experiences are quite similar, you know, how did my wife and children die?”

The Yin Emperor’s words left Su Mengli puzzled, what did he mean by this? What experiences?

“How did they die?” Su Mengli asked.

The Yin Emperor angrily replied, “They died at the hands of the organizers of this exchange competition, Chu Han!”

With The Yin Emperor’s anger, the expressions on the corpses he controlled also turned fierce, as if they wanted to devour someone.

Su Mengli’s expression seemed somewhat strange, “Are you saying…”

The Yin Emperor looked at Su Mengli and said, “You must be eager to know how your parents died, right?”

In her heart, Su Mengli thought, “No, actually I don’t want to know.”

However, she did not interrupt him and let him continue speaking.

“I can responsibly tell you that your parents’ deaths are related to the Magic City University. These so-called officials, in order to make you wholeheartedly serve them, killed your parents. They are a group of hypocritical pseudo-gentlemen!” The Yin Emperor had once investigated Su Mengli, but the information he found was superficial. Su Mengli’s parents were already dead, and she was not a local of Jiangcheng.

The main focus of the investigation at that time was how Su Mengli’s parents died, not how her relationship with her parents was.

Su Mengli was not surprised by this news.

Initially, her parents contacted her by phone, asking for a large sum of money, or else they would cause trouble and ruin her reputation, making this genius be criticized by everyone.

After she told Ye Xuan about this, he chose a simple solution, reporting to the teacher and the dean.

A few days later, Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan died unexpectedly, and Su Mengli naturally knew how her parents had died.

However, seeing The Yin Emperor’s indignant appearance at this moment, it seemed like he was angrier on her behalf than she was as the person who had lost her parents.

At this moment, maintaining a carefree demeanor seemed to be wasting his emotions!

Su Mengli could only force out a hint of anger, “How could they be so excessive? They are really going too far, aren’t they?”

The Yin Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Mengli’s words. Both parents were dead, and it was just too much to call it excessive? Did girls nowadays have such high standards that they couldn’t even curse properly?

The Yin Emperor continued, “They are a group of executioners! Originally, I was just a diligent tomb raider, digging a tomb every few months, selling some antiques, making money to support my family, until one day…”

Listening to The Yin Emperor’s words, Su Mengli’s expression was somewhat strange. A tomb raider describing himself as diligent? If one didn’t know, they would think he was a farmer busy with planting during the farming season…

As The Yin Emperor narrated, Su Mengli basically understood what had happened.

The Yin Emperor was a tomb raider who made a living by raiding tombs and selling antiques, and the family was living relatively well.

However, later on, The Yin Emperor accidentally dug up a very extraordinary tomb, which was related to so-called relics.

At that time, the rebirth of spiritual energy had not been announced, but countries and awakened individuals from the martial world had begun to pay attention to various relics, and even foreign forces were involved, wanting to get a share of the pie.

At that time, the Chu Han’s Blade Alliance was responsible for guarding that relic, and after The Yin Emperor was discovered and warned by the Blade Alliance, he did not give up tomb raiding obediently.

He felt that this tomb must have great treasures, otherwise it wouldn’t be guarded by so many people.

Therefore, relying on his profound tomb-raiding skills, he found another entrance to the relic, sneaked in, and stole a few treasures.

Unfortunately, these treasures did not bring prosperity to their family but instead became a harbinger of death!
