Chapter 525: Meeting Green Ghost Again

Xiang Shaoyun’s greatest trump card was the nether prison devil puppet. However, the puppet was trapped in the net and couldn’t break free temporarily. Devouring Ghost was also kept busy by a Sovereign while Jin Wo and the blood demon were barely hanging on against the other Emperors.

Thus, Xiang Shaoyun only had himself to rely on at this moment. As the Emperors swarmed him, he used the Nether Shadow Evanescence and blended into the natural world around him, turning completely invisible.

The assassins were stupefied to find that their target had vanished. It was at this moment that a group of experts had suddenly appeared and attacked them. These experts were extremely powerful, with a Sovereign among them as well.

The Sovereign battling Devouring Ghost noticed that things were not looking good for them and was the first to flee. Assassins always operated like that: if things weren’t working out, they wouldn’t force it.

Devouring Ghost was unable to prevent the Sovereign’s escape. As for the newcomer Sovereign, he chased after the Sovereign assassin. At this moment, the nether prison devil puppet had been freed as well. The net had suddenly vanished, and nobody knew where it had gone.

Xiang Shaoyun noiselessly appeared beside the nether prison devil puppet. He looked at the newcomers and was able to see that they were Ghostface Sect members with a single glance.

After killing the assassins, the Ghostface Sect members ignored Xiang Shaoyun and quickly vanished, as if they had never appeared. Among the corpses littering the ground, Huo Xudong was nowhere to be found. It seemed that after saying all those words to the assassins, he himself had vanished. Not even the Ghostface Sect members had managed to find him. One ought to admit that Huo Xudong was really skilled at hiding.

Devouring Ghost scanned the corpses and said, “These rat emblems are probably the symbol of a certain organization. Do you know them, young master?”

“I heard it belongs to an organization called the Rat Assassins. Have you never heard of them?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

Devouring Ghost said with disdain, “Probably a new organization that appeared in the last 10,000 years. But their assassination skills do not seem anything special.”

“Um. By the way, our helpers are from the Ghostface Sect,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

“Since that is the case, let’s head straight to the Ghostface Sect. I am kind of looking forward to seeing my disciple’s reaction when he sees me,” said Devouring Ghost with an amused tone.

Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun would not disagree. In the first place, he was here to get Devouring Ghost to deal with Green Ghost anyway. Although he no longer feared Green Ghost after his meeting with Tang Zhan, it would still be great if Devouring Ghost and Green Ghost could really reestablish their relationship.

After all, he had personally met Green Ghost and could see that Green Ghost had a decent respect for his master. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have requested to meet his master in such an anxious manner.

They shortly arrived before the Ghostface Sect. Gazing at the massive ghostface emblem on the gate, Devouring Ghost had a complicated look in his eyes. He couldn’t help but to sigh, “I’ve never expected that a day would come when I’m back here again.”

The guard at the gate was about to step forth and chase the two visitors away when Lady Shura leisurely stepped through the gate.

“Young Master Xiang, please come inside. My sect master has been waiting for quite a while,” invited Lady Shura.

“Ok.” Xiang Shaoyun nodded and stepped through the gate.

Devouring Ghost followed closely behind, but Lady Shura stopped him and said, “Irrelevant people are to stay outside.”

“Little girl, you sure you want me to stay outside?” Devouring Ghost asked with a faint smile.

Lady Shura did not say anything, but the way she behaved made her answer clear. She felt that Devouring Ghost was merely an attendant of Xiang Shaoyun. Someone like that was not qualified to meet her sect master.

“Lady Shura, he must come with me. I will let your sect master know about this. If he is unhappy with the visitor, I will bear the consequences,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

Lady Shura hesitated slightly before saying, “Fine. But remember to not say anything unnecessary while inside.”

That warning was obviously directed toward Devouring Ghost.

Devouring Ghost smiled. “An interesting girl.”

He then headed toward the main hall with Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun arrived before the main hall once again. The two devilish beasts lying on the ground suddenly stood up and walked toward him. Their gazes landed on him, and one of them said, “The purest high-tier bloodline of my race. You! Which clan are you from?”

“I remember this kid. He was here a year ago. Back then, his bloodline had yet to fully awaken. But now, it has completely awakened,” said the other devil.

The two devils were extremely large, and their appearances were ferocious. They exuded a thick devilish aura, and their voice rumbled like thunderclaps. Everything about them emanated dreadfulness.

Since Xiang Shaoyun had been to the Devil Domain and had seen various types of devilish beasts, he was not frightened by the two before him. In any case, this was not his first time meeting them.

Looking at them, he smiled. “So what if I have the bloodline of the devils? Would you be able to leave and follow me instead? Just focus on your task of guarding this door.” 

He then ignored the two and stepped right into the main hall. The two devils were unhappy, yet there was nothing they could do. They had long been put under Green Ghost’s control. It was almost impossible for them to escape it, and this young man was too weak to be of help to them. Thus, they wallowed in helplessness.

When Xiang Shaoyun and Devouring Ghost entered the hall, Lady Shura reported deferentially, “Sect master, Xiang Shaoyun is here.”

Green Ghost was seated on the throne, wearing the same ferocious green ghostface mask as before.

“Um. Who is he? How can you allow him to enter as well?” Green Ghost said in a displeased manner when his gaze landed on Devouring Ghost.

Xiang Shaoyun answered before Lady Shura could say anything, “That has nothing to do with Lady Shura. I was the one who requested for him to come with me.”

“Hmph. Don’t even get me started about you. The person I want to meet is not here, and you brought someone irrelevant instead? Are you looking to die?” questioned Green Ghost murderously.

Before Xiang Shaoyun could say anything, Devouring Ghost howled with laughter, “Hahaha, what boastful words! What? Are you going to kill us, Little Green Thorn?”

Pa!

Green Ghost slammed his hand on the jade table beside him and smashed it apart. With fury in his eyes, he said, “What did you just say?”

Next, a terrifying power appeared and enveloped the entire hall, the pressure making it hard for Xiang Shaoyun and Devouring Ghost to breathe. It was as if Green Ghost only needed a single thought to kill them both.

“Little Green Thorn, are you going to murder your own master?” said Devouring Ghost, his voice imposing. At the same time, his soul hovered out of his head and furiously glared at Green Ghost.
