“Yes.”

The Ghost Clan soldier hurriedly handed the scroll in his hand to the governor, who slowly unrolled the painting. It depicted a young man, and these scrolls had been personally drawn by Yue Hanjun himself.

The likeness was captured with such exquisite detail that it was incredibly lifelike.

After examining the scroll, the governor simply smiled and said, “The city lord has not returned yet. It must be the generals who are eager for this portrait.”

“Yes.”

The Ghost Clan soldier respectfully replied, “General Dekang has returned today and immediately sent someone to inquire if the scroll had arrived. He also wanted to confirm whether there was any trace of Li Hengsheng among the humans in the residence, as capturing Li Hengsheng could be exchanged for a Painting Treasure of the Immortal level.”

“Mm, if General Dekang sends someone to collect it, give the scroll to him,” the governor said, returning the scroll to the Ghost Clan soldier.

“Yes.”

News of General Dekang’s return with his troops set the entire Dekang General’s residence bustling with activity.

Li Hengsheng was originally feeding the horses when he heard the noisy commotion outside and someone mentioning General Dekang’s return. Subsequently, several commanders in the residence hurried to meet General Dekang.

“Who is this General Dekang, and what was he doing before?”

After feeding the horses and during lunch, Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask Huang Li. Although Huang Li didn’t know much, he at least knew a bit more than Li Hengsheng.

“General Dekang is one of the top experts in Yegui City, possibly at the Great Perfection of the Postnatal Realm, very strong. Among the three great generals of Yegui City, General Dekang is the most powerful and influential. It’s said that he went on a campaign to subdue other tribes.”

“Now, there are many tribes around Yegui City, all conquered by it,” Huang Li explained to Li Hengsheng.

“It seems that the internal conflicts within the Ghost Clan are quite frequent,” Li Hengsheng mused.

“Where can there be no war? Isn’t it the same within the human race?” Huang Li said while eating.

After lunch, it was still necessary to feed the horses.

However, Li Hengsheng’s ears twitched as he heard many footsteps rushing towards the slave district.

Many Ghost Clan soldiers coming to the slave district?

What had happened?

Li Hengsheng had a bad feeling about the situation.

“Take him away!”

Several Ghost Clan soldiers directly captured a young human without giving him a chance to react. He was locked with iron chains and taken away.

“That one there, take him too!”

The leading Ghost Clan powerhouse pointed at someone and ordered.

“Damn it, I’ll fight you Ghost Clan to the death!” The human was Xu Lihu, who had been locked in the same cell as Li Hengsheng before.

He was also a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Postnatal Realm.

Sensing that these people bore ill intentions, he grabbed a stick and struck out, suppressing several approaching Ghost Clan soldiers with his formidable strength, sending them sprawling.

However, at that moment, the Ghost Clan man who had nodded earlier frowned, his black shining armor glinting coldly.

He made his move, his palm turning into a claw, aiming straight for Xu Lihu. The bamboo stick in his hand shattered instantly, and the force was so strong that Xu Lihu was caught off guard and grabbed by the neck. With a forceful pull, Xu Lihu felt his strength being drained, and he was slammed to the ground.

At this moment, he realized that his prideful strength was no match for this Ghost Clan powerhouse.

“Causing trouble here? Take him away!” the Ghost Clan powerhouse commanded coldly.

But witnessing this scene, Li Hengsheng grew even more uneasy. Why were they starting to capture people in the slave district again? Was it related to General Dekang’s return?

Regardless, Li Hengsheng knew that if he didn’t run fast, he might really be in danger.

So, Li Hengsheng turned and leaped away.

To his surprise, as soon as he made a move, a large group of people came out and surrounded him.

“Capture him.”

The Ghost Clan powerhouse ordered.

“Give up and surrender!”

The Ghost Clan soldiers rushed forward to capture Li Hengsheng, but he had no intention of surrendering.

He struck out.

However, Li Hengsheng did not use his own techniques. Being wanted, his information must have been leaked. Whether it was the Overlord Immortal Spear Technique or the Chasing Thunder Movement, he could not use them, or else his identity would be easily exposed.

That would truly be the end of him.

Even so, with his Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body, his strength was comparable to that of gods and demons. With a punch, he brought a strong gust of wind. The Ghost Clan soldiers, though also immensely strong, were powerless against Li Hengsheng.

After all, Li Hengsheng was at the Great Perfection of the Postnatal Realm, just a step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Postnatal Realm, and not something ordinary Ghost Clan soldiers could withstand.

With a few punches, he sent dozens of Ghost Clan soldiers flying.

“Another one seeking death.”

The Ghost Clan powerhouse who had just made a move narrowed his eyes. His figure ghostly, he struck with a claw towards Li Hengsheng.

This person was at the pinnacle of the Postnatal Realm.

Strong and with the characteristic strength of the Ghost Clan, his claw was terrifyingly powerful.

But when he sneak-attacked from behind Li Hengsheng and grabbed his shoulder blade, expecting to crush Li Hengsheng’s shoulder, he found that under his great force, Li Hengsheng’s bones were like steel, unmovable!

Li Hengsheng, in pain, turned his head and threw several punches. With vast and powerful punches, Li Hengsheng, who had killed many of the Ghost Devil Clan, had a murderous aura in his punches. After exchanging a few blows with the Ghost Clan powerhouse, he steadily gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, many in the slave district were shocked. They had not expected Li Hengsheng, a human, to be able to fight on par with a captain under General Dekang.

The Ghost Clan powerhouse also did not expect Li Hengsheng to be so difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng heard more footsteps approaching from afar.

Knowing that if he didn’t run now, there would be no chance later, Li Hengsheng concentrated his breath on his fingertips.

He pointed out!

Layered Wave Finger!

This was a technique Li Hengsheng had derived from the Overlord Immortal Spear Technique, also known as the Overlord Immortal Finger, which he rarely used, but the effect was astonishing.

Li Hengsheng pointed out three times in succession!

Each move was more domineering than the last.

The Ghost Clan powerhouse only felt that Li Hengsheng’s three fingers were increasingly terrifying, with the third finger being so powerful that he couldn’t defend against it, piercing through the Ghost Clan powerhouse’s skull and killing him on the spot!

Seeing their captain killed, the other Ghost Clan soldiers were thrown into panic.

Their captain was dead.

“The slave has killed the captain!” someone exclaimed.

Li Hengsheng couldn’t care less and continued to run outside.

But at that moment, whoosh, several powerful auras descended, with four captain-level powerhouses blocking Li Hengsheng’s path.

Their faces were filled with intense killing intent.

And they attacked together.

Four pinnacle Postnatal Realm experts attacked together, and Li Hengsheng did not dare to underestimate them, fighting back with all his might.

If he had the Chasing Immortal Spear and could use techniques like the Chasing Thunder Movement, these four pinnacle Postnatal Realm opponents would not even be a match for Li Hengsheng. Unfortunately, Li Hengsheng dared not act rashly now, unable to exert even a third of his strength.

Facing four opponents alone, he could only resist with the Layered Wave Finger.

Even so, the four captain-level powerhouses could not believe that they, four pinnacle Postnatal Realm experts, could not handle a single human.

At this critical moment, Li Hengsheng suddenly felt a surging force approaching.

A gust of wind swept through, signaling danger. Li Hengsheng responded with a Layered Wave Finger.

But under that palm, crushing all beings, the innate true essence shattered everything. Li Hengsheng’s Layered Wave Finger was instantly crushed, and the palm print sent Li Hengsheng flying.

The force was so strong that Li Hengsheng almost spat blood, but fortunately, his physical body was strong enough to barely withstand it.

“Commander!”

The four captains quickly knelt down and said respectfully.

The person who came was Hai Dongsheng.

Li Hengsheng frowned and looked at Hai Dongsheng, knowing that if he didn’t get serious, he might not be able to escape.

But if he did get serious, he would be exposing himself.

That would mean endless pursuit by all the forces of the Cangyuan Realm.

Being captured was not a big deal for him, but his father had not been revived yet, and he could not afford to fall here now.

So, Li Hengsheng decided to endure for the time being.

“What a fierce finger.” Hai Dongsheng looked at his palm and stared intently at Li Hengsheng, saying, “The way you channel your technique is very similar to the Overlord Immortal Spear Technique.”

“Lord Hai, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Li Hengsheng shook his head.

“Li Hengsheng, stop pretending,” Hai Dongsheng said with a smile. “You are Li Hengsheng, aren’t you?”

Hearing this, Li Hengsheng remained calm and shook his head, “Lord Hai, my name is Li Yun, not Li Hengsheng.”

“If you’re not Li Hengsheng, why did you kill and try to escape?” Hai Dongsheng asked coldly.

“I saw you starting to capture people, and that Xu Lihu was injured. I was scared, so I wanted to run out,” Li Hengsheng replied calmly.

“Good.”

Hai Dongsheng, not in a hurry after hearing this explanation, smiled and said, “I will prove it. Bring him, and soon I want to see how you can still be so stubborn.”

After that, several Ghost Clan soldiers captured Li Hengsheng and took him to a yard.

The large yard had already captured more than thirty people, all humans, and all with a cultivation above the Postnatal Realm. They were also all very young. Li Hengsheng looked at these people and was then taken to the front row and pressed to the ground.

The surroundings were guarded by Ghost Clan soldiers, and not only that, but more than a dozen pinnacle Postnatal Realm experts had also arrived.

Three other commanders like Hai Dongsheng had also arrived.

The other three were of the Ghost Clan.

The three whispered to each other, but none of them communicated with Hai Dongsheng, clearly looking down on this human.

Hai Dongsheng also did not pay attention to them, quietly waiting for something.

After a while…

“The general has arrived!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone quickly knelt down.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng felt a powerful aura descending.

A man with a terrifying sword scar on his face and a huge sword at his waist walked in.

His gaze was somewhat lazy, but when it swept over everyone, it gave a chilling feeling.

It seemed that General Dekang was a man who killed without blinking an eye.

“Greetings, General.”

The four commanders said respectfully.

General Dekang ignored everyone and sat down in the middle chair, then glanced at Hai Dongsheng.

“You said you have a lead on Li Hengsheng?”

General Dekang asked.

“Yes, but we must compare him to the portrait to be sure,” Hai Dongsheng quickly said. “However, I am eighty percent confident it is him!”

After that, Hai Dongsheng pointed at Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng remained silent, pondering his next move.

General Dekang was not to be trifled with, definitely possessing Grandmaster strength. If it really came to a desperate situation, he would use the Sun-Moon True Fire and then flee quickly, but he didn’t know if his Sun-Moon True Fire would work against a Grandmaster.

Li Hengsheng somewhat regretted not trying to escape desperately earlier.

“Killing one of my captains and holding your own against four captains, you’re quite a promising seedling,” General Dekang said lightly after glancing at Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng’s heart trembled upon hearing this.

It seemed that the general had been paying attention to the events in the residence, so even if he had tried to escape desperately earlier, he might not have made it out.

“Lowly one Li Yun, not Li Hengsheng,” Li Hengsheng spoke.

“Whether you are or not, you need not explain.” At that moment, General Dekang reached out his hand, and a Ghost Clan member quickly and respectfully handed a scroll to General Dekang. “Tianhai City has already distributed many portraits. Wouldn’t we know by looking at the portrait?”

Upon hearing this, Li Hengsheng nearly collapsed.

The portrait had arrived?

Wasn’t that the end of him?

Hai Dongsheng also sneered. If Li Yun was really Li Hengsheng, then he would have made a great contribution.

General Dekang slowly unrolled the scroll in his hand, and then he saw a young man painted on it. He compared the painting to Li Hengsheng in front of him.

Li Hengsheng’s heart was in his throat, and he was ready to use the Sun-Moon True Fire.

But General Dekang sighed regretfully, “Unfortunately, it’s not him.”

“Huh?”

Li Hengsheng couldn’t believe what he heard.

Beside him, Hai Dongsheng was even more incredulous. He quickly said, “My lord, may I have a look?”

General Dekang did not waste words and directly handed the scroll to Hai Dongsheng, who quickly took it and looked at the painting.

Indeed, the person painted on the scroll looked nothing like Li Hengsheng in front of them!

How could this be?

Hai Dongsheng thought he had a sure victory, and Li Hengsheng’s Layered Wave Finger was so similar to the Overlord Immortal Spear Technique, yet he wasn’t the one?

Li Hengsheng was greatly puzzled, but he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
