Chapter 1920 – To Go Against the Grain

Lu Yun’s expression shifted when he heard the nine clawed golden dragon speak. A dark grand supreme from the land of darkness had come to create another Dark World?

No wonder he’d calculated that something drastic had occurred in the Ghost Sect and that it was about to collapse. But no matter how he tried, he couldn’t discern who was acting against the sect.

Nightmare tensed with worry. If the Ghost Sect became a new Dark World, wouldn’t her mother turn into a dark grand supreme?

Although dark grand supremes possessed their own thoughts, their minds were occupied by mayhem. They couldn’t be considered normal entities. Unbidden, she looked at Lu Yun with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

“Fuck that piece of horseshit! It’s just a creature of darkness! Have Miss Moran come, we’ll rush in and beat them so badly that they scream for their mothers!” the big-headed doll suddenly erupted with outrage. The features of his face morphed into a laughing and crying face similar to the Master of Darkness. Absent for an extended period of time, the akasha ghost sprang out of his body again.

The nine clawed golden dragon looked at the doll and raised a faintly aureate eyebrow.

“You’re derived from the Master of Darkness. If the dark grand supreme eats you, its strength will climb to incredible heights. Not even the combination of the mistress in her prime, the return of Yun Yi, and that woman from the Autumnus Realm will be able to take it down if that happens.

“It’s discovered your presence and the ghost ancestor in the World of Immortals. It chose the Ghost Sect because it saw the karmic relationship between you and the sect. That’s why it used the sect as bait to lure you over.”

The thread of karmic relationship came from Nightmare. Lu Yun had calculated a few hints of this earlier, which was why he’d dropped everything he was doing and commanded Nightmare to switch to immortal dao. He’d deduced that Nightmare would die because of ghost dao. It now looked like that not only was that the case, but that the dark grand supreme would turn her into a puppet and use her against Lu Yun.

The current chief worlds were a far cry from the chief worlds of yesteryear.

Back then, Mo Yi had been in her prime and powerhouses abounded in the realm. The heavyweights of the land of darkness hadn’t dared leave their home—they knew that would lead to a swift death if they set a toe out of line.

But now with the passage of time and opening of the empyrean supreme’s tomb, ninety-nine percent of the realm’s modern day experts had entered it to search for their fortunes. Therefore, it was a perfect time for dark grand supremes to descend upon the Ghost Sect through the power of darkness—the sect also cultivated dark dao. The dark grand supreme could both fashion the sect into a new Dark World and also use it as bait against the wielder of the Master of Darkness.

The latter was the ruler of darkness. At the same time, an adult lion was the king of beasts, but a juvenile lion could only be hunted down and devoured. The current Master of Darkness was a cub.

For the moment, there were three beings in the chief worlds that possessed the treasure’s strength: Moran Dongning, the big-headed doll, and the ghost ancestor.

Nine Claw smacked his claw down on the doll and pressed him into the mud. “You shouldn’t add to the mess.”

Nightmare clenched her jaw and quieted down, but the air of sorrow around her couldn’t be waved off.

Lu Yun’s temples throbbed and he intoned, “We’re not retreating, to the Ghost Sect!”

This novel is available on “NovelFull.com”.

“What?!” Nine Claw jerked with shock. “In, in that case, I’m going with you.”

“Out with it, what do you want?” Lu Yun cocked his head. “I have nothing to offer. You see those around me advance with incredible speed and want the same opportunity, but I can’t give you the same treatment.”

He decided to lay everything out in the open as the dragon was being too pointed in his goal. Everything Lu Yun possessed came from the Tome of Life and Death. If the nine clawed golden dragon saw through that, he would take action and try to claim the book. Lu Yun could read that from the dragon’s emotions—the latter had been observing everything about the young man all this time.

The only thing he couldn’t see through was the Tome of Life and Death, because it’d become Lu Yun’s nascent spirit and part of him. Hence, the dragon thought that Lu Yun’s nascent spirit had been affected by a certain power. Perhaps he was even searching for the source of the power.

Nine Claw stared fixedly at Lu Yun before nodding and leaving.

Lu Yun’s expression remained solemn. The nine clawed golden dragon was a grand supreme, and a supreme of supremes. If he wanted to observe Lu Yun, he would be able to count every single hair on the young man’s body with the entire chief worlds between them if he wanted to.

……

“Come, we go to the Ghost Sect!” Lu Yun glanced in the direction that Nine Claw had left in before turning to his two companions.

The big-headed doll crawled out of the mud and coughed a few times with worry. “Aren’t you afraid of the dark grand supreme?”

“If it successfully forms another Dark World and eats away at other worlds, this opening will prove to be a launching point for it and it’ll come for us when all is said and done. As opposed to that and letting it grow stronger, we might as well bring the fight to it first.” Two black flames ignited in Lu Yun’s eyes.

“Shall we bring the ghost ancestor with us?” asked the doll. The ghost ancestor was a powerful grand supreme originally buried in the Hell Tombs. The strength that he commanded in his past life likely rivaled Leize and his family.

“Yes!” Lu Yun set his jaw. “Get Moran Dongning too. It’s better for us to make the first move than to sit here and wait for death! If Nine Claw can guess what we want to do, so can that dark grand supreme. He’s probably just using the dragon to scare me off!”

Lu Yun realized the truth of his words as soon as he spoke them. He’d determined the changes at the Ghost Sect and was rushing his way there, but Nine Claw arrived halfway through. The dragon had likely become the dark grand supreme’s pawn and was attempting to drive Lu Yun away.

“Yes, that must be the case. The more one tries to hide, the more one is exposed. The orders of the chief worlds still hold great sway over the creatures of darkness. It’s probably heavily injured right now.

“So we have to go right now!” Lu Yun tossed the doll and Nightmare into hell, then utilized Boundless Step to head in the direction of the Ghost Sect.

The Ghost Sect occupied a major world that they’d named Ghost Sect. Instead of a globe, it currently resembled a massive gourd, as if another world was slowly swallowing it.

“That’s…” Lu Yun frowned. Moran Dongning, the ghost ancestor, Nightmare, and the big-headed doll appeared behind him.

“The Dark Hell!” Nightmare shrieked. “What’s that doing here?!”

The doll yanked You Haoyue’s head out of a bag.

“I, I don’t know either. I don’t know anything.” You Haoyue’s jaw dropped.
