Chapter 526: Heavenly Ghost: You All Are My Food

Tianlian Zhenren is actually so brave, bestowing mercy on those mortals—truly moving.

Jing Yuheng crossed her arms, stared at the scene; she watched the whole thing but did not act.

Deputy Hall Master White Wolf said lightly, "Hall Master, once the Heavenly Ghost descends, the disaster will be great. Should we try to stop the Heavenly Ghost's arrival?"

Jing Yuheng shook her head: "I also want to block it, but we can't; the Heavenly Ghost's descent is already decided. Our strength is unequal—going forward would be suicide."

"Deputy Hall Master White Wolf, you think I don't want to go up and block it? Once the Heavenly Ghost is summoned and descends, it cannot be stopped… The Heavenly Ghost True Person is up there; he's not so easy to deal with."

Deputy Hall Master White Wolf nodded heavily, confirming it was indeed so.

The aura of the Heavenly Ghost True Person was terrifying; most likely the Heavenly Ghost's descent was already complete, and that old thing was just putting on a show.

"Hall Master, your speculation isn't without reason; that Heavenly Ghost could indeed successfully descend." Deputy Hall Master White Wolf's brows twitched wildly: "Hall Master, how about we retreat first?"

This place is dangerous; if the Heavenly Ghost truly descends successfully, these people will become the Heavenly Ghost's blood food.

That Heavenly Ghost is extremely hungry; we cultivators are far tastier than ordinary mortals.

They are closest to the Yin Ghost Sect and must find a way to leave this place.

"You're right, Deputy Hall Master White Wolf, retreat."

Jing Yuheng thought for a moment, nodded heavily, and took advantage of the commotion caused by Tianlian Zhenren and the others to retreat.

"Black Dragon Guard, obey the order, retreat."

Jing Yuheng and Deputy Hall Master White Wolf led their people away.

On the other side, Xinran Zhanglao saw this, shook his head: "This place is not suitable for staying long."

"The Heavenly Ghost's descent succeeded; the matter is settled and cannot be changed."

"The Heavenly Ghost is not easy to kill; let the Yin Ghost Sect test its actual strength."

"And those from the Heavenly Heart Sect, just hand them over to the Heavenly Ghost to deal with."

She cannot stay here; retreat.

At the very least, we must exit the Heavenly Ghost's range.

That layer of domain covers them.

Ghost energy kept spreading, not slowly; at this rate, the entire Yin Ghost Sect's area will be sealed off.

The Heavenly Ghost True Person's mind is vast and also insane.

After two groups left, the Heavenly Sword Daoist also wanted to leave, but Tianlian Zhenren refused to go.

"Junior sister, don't be willful; listen to your senior brother this once, okay?"

"Senior brother, junior sister I…"

The Heavenly Sword Daoist couldn't endure her rambling, nodded to those nearby, and a few disciples stepped forward, bowing to Tianlian Zhenren and allowing her to leave.

"Heavenly Heart Sect disciples, retreat with us."

Crisis, descent, his sword kept flickering.

Tianlian Zhenren gritted her teeth, but she could not resist.

The Monster Race's Blue Deer Demon would have fled long ago.

They wouldn't stay foolishly in place.

The Yin Ghost Sect's area suddenly became empty of people.

Underground.

Mu Longhao lifted his head and stared at the sky.

"Tsk tsk, the Heavenly Ghost's descent— the Heavenly Ghost True Person has methods, truly worthy of those who descended years ago."

"Such methods are highly harmful."

"I wonder how those of the Yin Ghost Sect will resist?"

The Yin Ghost Sect is about to disperse.

Fourth Elder stared at the sky; his body trembled, but he could not step back.

The Yin Ghost True Person in his bosom awoke.

"Cough cough."

"Sect Master, you have woken up?"

Yin Ghost True Person sat up, his face pale, and gave Fourth Elder a smile.

"Thank you, Fourth Elder."

"Sect Master, the Heavenly Ghost True Person summoned the Heavenly Ghost's descent; we cannot resist, can we?"

When Yin Ghost True Person appeared, the Yin Ghost Sect's disciples gained a pillar, and they gathered together.

Sixth Elder and Eighth Elder rushed over, protecting the Sect Master.

Opposite them, Second Elder, Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder looked up and laughed, the three of them staring at Yin Ghost True Person, mocking, "Sect Master, your era will never come."

"You have already lost."

Yin Ghost True Person stood up, stared at the Heavenly Ghost True Person, ignoring the three Elders.

"Heavenly Ghost True Person, you defy Heaven by summoning the Heavenly Ghost's descent; you will also be killed by the Heavenly Ghost."

"To kill me, you go this far?"

Heavenly Ghost True Person heard this, lowered his head, and those eyes stared at him.

They were not the eyes of the Heavenly Ghost True Person, but the eyes of the Heavenly Ghost.

That gaze was as if it were a completely different person.

As if looking at a stranger.

"Indeed, you are no longer yourself; I should call you Heavenly Ghost, right?"

The Heavenly Ghost's eyes, filled with ghostly aura, rotated in concentric circles.

Every turn draws in souls, and thus they are devoured by those eyes, completely becoming idiots.

The Fourth Elder and the others dared not meet his gaze.

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder and the others looked in horror at the figure in the sky, their bodies gradually condensing.

A black pillar of light, filled with ghostly qi.

Souls condense into substance; with every gesture, ghostly qi runs rampant.

"True Person, is that you?"

The Second Elder spoke weakly, daring not to approach nor to relax his vigilance.

The Fifth and Seventh Elders beside him choked back a sob, staring at the Heavenly Ghost.

The Heavenly Ghost turned its head, those eyes fixed on them, that head suddenly tilting.

It revealed a smile, that smile exceedingly strange.

Upon seeing that smile, the Fifth and Seventh Elders wanted to flee at once, as did the Second Elder, but they found their bodies unable to escape, instead inching closer to the Heavenly Ghost bit by bit.

Until they stood before the Heavenly Ghost, they horrifiedly discovered they could not resist, their souls being drawn out bit by bit.

Blood qi, elevation, or all ghostly qi, the painstakingly cultivated source of ghostly qi, all entered the Heavenly Ghost's mouth.

The Heavenly Ghost opened its mouth and swallowed everything.

"No."

"Heavenly Ghost, we are together."

"We… were wrong."

"No."

The three elders were swallowed in one gulp, leaving only their miserable screams.

Seeing this, the other elders choked back a sob.

Cold echoed in the hearts of the Yin Gui Sect disciples, each drawing near the Yin Gui True Person; at this moment, only the Sect Leader could oppose one or two.

These people, before that Heavenly Ghost, were like ants.

"Sect Leader, the three elders have been eaten."

The Fourth Elder spoke in terror, his body trembling.

Their strengths are comparable; should the Sect Leader not be here, they would likely become the Heavenly Ghost's food as well.

"Heavenly Ghost, you do not belong to this world."

Yin Gui Zhenren raised his head and shouted a rebuke.

The Heavenly Ghost lowered its gaze, staring at him.

It gave a cold smile.

"You are the Sect Leader of the Yin Gui Sect, aren't you?"

"Offer up all you have."

"Otherwise, die."

The icy voice echoed throughout the sky.

Upon hearing this, Yin Gui Zhenren smirked contemptuously and took two steps forward.

"If you have the ability, come over."

He, however, fears not the Heavenly Ghost.

Those three elders are fools, clearly knowing that what stands before them is not the Yin Gui True Person but the Heavenly Ghost.

Yet they still court death.

"You are so arrogant, daring to defy this venerable one, Yin Gui Sect Leader; you will soon realize you are mistaken."

"You are utterly mistaken."

"The Yin Gui Sect is nothing but food for this venerable one."

"You all, why do you resist?"

These disciples, these people, are all his food.

I had thought to wait until they left this world, then slowly enjoy.

If they arrive early, then I will enjoy early.
