Chapter 2782 — Possession
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The aftereffect of this possession was that the Mad Dragon Ancestor had failed to fully supplant Zhong Yongliang. All he could do was merge his primordial spirit with Zhong Yongliang's present soul, becoming a brand-new person—one who could be called both Zhong Yongliang and the Mad Dragon Ancestor, possessing the memories and temperaments of both, yet existing as an independent being of his own.
With the two made one, Zhong Yongliang suddenly felt himself aged by many years, yet he was still overjoyed—above all because he had retained his former memories and half a personality, and so the heart of a young man still remained in him.
Was he not simply incredible? In one stroke he had become an ancestor of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect? And the foremost ancestor at that! Wahaha—at last your Zhong Yongliang has risen against the odds. What Wei Zhao, what nonsense—all of it is passing cloud. Put this in a novel, and I, Zhong Yongliang, am the protagonist! A beautiful life is about to begin!
Zhong Yongliang was gloating over his future when he suddenly heard Gao Xiaofu's voice.
"Brother Liang, where on earth are you..." Gao Xiaofu's voice had a sob in it now. He wanted to run, yet dared not—this place was simply too terrifying!
Only then did Zhong Yongliang remember that he had come here to explore with Gao Xiaofu! He hurriedly scrambled out along the opening in the ground.
Gao Xiaofu had barely called out when he saw a person suddenly emerge from the earth not far in front of him. It nearly scared him senseless! How could a person come out of the ground? Could it be a ghost?
"A ghost!" Gao Xiaofu screamed.
"Xiaofu, do not panic. It is your Brother Liang," Zhong Yongliang said mildly, with a wave of his hand.
"Huh? Brother Liang? You're finally back?" At the sound of Zhong Yongliang's voice, Gao Xiaofu looked closely and saw that it truly was Brother Liang. He hastily scrambled up from the ground and ran joyfully toward him.
"I'm back. You are Brother Liang's little brother—how can you panic like this when trouble comes? It is truly shameful!" Zhong Yongliang glanced at Gao Xiaofu and shook his head with some helplessness.
"Brother Liang, what's wrong with you? Why do you talk so strangely, with a kind of world-weary old-fogy air?" Gao Xiaofu asked, puzzled. Looking again at Zhong Yongliang's bearing, it seemed to have changed somewhat as well. When they had come exploring before, Zhong Yongliang had said little, but Gao Xiaofu could tell he had been rather nervous. Now, however, Zhong Yongliang was frighteningly calm!
"Heh heh, it's nothing—merely that some things have happened. Here, you go and fetch Naipao now. Tell him I have business with him!" Zhong Yongliang intended to plan his future properly. Having just completed the possession and fusion, he had to give it some thought.
"Huh? Now?" Gao Xiaofu was taken aback. "It's the middle of the night—is it all right for me to go call Naipao?"
"What's not all right about it? Tell him Brother Liang wants to see him. He'll come whether he wants to or not!" A natural air of dominance now emanated from Zhong Yongliang. Before, though he had been Zhang Naiyu's leader, Zhang Naiyu was after all a favorite of the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect and a disciple of Celestial Worthy Chunyang, so Zhong Yongliang had not quite dared to put on the airs of a leader, fearful that Zhang Naiyu might grow distant from him.
