Shizun, Misunderstood this Disciple As a Hero. [bl]

Chapter 16

[Shizun, I am back.]

Xiu Qiangshu woke up, it has been 4 years since Yun Lixin died, in a few days, it would be the 5th year..also his death anniversary.

Xiu Qiangshu slowly walked towards the palace, with no motivation to go to a meeting today. The sky was clear, bright sun rays fell upon the white snow that was piled up on the ground. He took all his time to head to the palace as he observed nature. Trees had a layer of snow on its branch, the flakes flew down on the ground from even a slightest touch of wind. The sun rays fell upon Xiu Qiangshu, embracing him in warmth even during a cold colorless winter. Xiu Qiangshu closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as he let the sun rays fall upon his pale face. He felt a warmth in his heart, a calmness, like something good was about to happen sometime soon. This feeling reminded him of his past, when he was a kid and didn't have to worry about studies, looks, status, basically just life.

The sun rays disappeared suddenly, a sudden coldness engulfing Xiu Qiangshu's body which had just started to feel warm. It was just like his childhood, how he had felt warmth and comfort when he was kid, but as he grew up, the warmth turned into a coldness which kept growing never to see the sun ever again and was stuck in an endless colorless winter night, running in loops, trying to find an end, patiently waiting for the sun-his happiness and comfort, but it never came.

Xiu Qiangshu opened his eyes slowly as he sighed at his own thoughts, pathetic of him to think of these memories, when he had already died in the original world. His parents probably didn't even care when they saw his dead body and nor would his friends. He must move on from memories, or else he would keep remembering these memories and dwell upon them.

The sky was clouded..no, dark menacing clouds formed in the sky, there were evil spirits who made a screeching noise singing something as they flew in circles in the sky. The moon stood brightly in front of the sun. An "Eclipse." Xiu Qiangshu was utterly puzzled by this new situation he was just encountering. The earth shook from the sudden change in its orbit, there were huge meteorites seen in the sky. A sudden thunderbolt occurred followed by droplets of rain. Xiu Qiangshu extended his arm out as droplets of rain fell on his palm. It wasn't rain, it was blood. Xiu Qiangshu's eyes widened.

Xiu Qiangshu strode towards the palace only to find the palace in chaos. Everyone gathered at the palace, their faces pale and panic plastered upon their faces even though they tried hiding it.

"How could this be possible!? How come we didn't get informed about this!?" An immortal yelled out, alarmed.

"God is punishing us for our sins." A monk commented with guilt.

"This is ominous, very ominous!" A cultivator yelled out in terror before running away from the palace screaming. Xiu Qiangshu tilted his head, perplexed.

"Is something wrong with Peak Lord Zue?" Xiu Qiang Zhu asked with concern in his tone, reading the atmosphere.

"Fortunately you came, Lord Xiu Qiangshu. These signs that we are getting right now are ominous. The eclipse, earthquake, thunderstorm, and evil spirits being released who are singing a song, praising the person who released them and also announcing their win, this could only mean one thing. The demon realm has found their king, and today is the ceremony, where the demon king would be blessed by its ancestors, it will only make the demon powerful which can do whatever he wants to with his powers-with no limits. We usually took care of such matters and killed the demon king when he was bornand before he could grow up and become the king. But for this time, we never were informed or got any signs of it." Peak Lord Zue explained clearly displeased by the situation.

"Have you any knowledge on who might be the ghost king? He must be powerful if he is able to stop the message from reaching us." Xiu Qiangshu Queried.

There was a sudden dreadful silence as everyone glanced at Xiu Qiangshu with hesitation. Shi lian slowly spoke out, careful with his words. "Shizun, Please don't get mad, but there might be a chance that Yun Lixin might be the ghost king." Xiu Qiangshu's eyes flashed with menace upon hearing Shi Liang's statement.
