Chapter 529: Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind: the Shadow Dragon Holy Son

"Sect Master."

"Sect Master."

The four Elders and other Elders, seeing the situation, stared at that lone silhouette, protecting them.

The many disciples fell silent; they could not bear for the Sect Master to die here, but they… were unable to help, and could only watch helplessly as the Sect Master perished.

Their Sect Master, the one who had always sheltered them, was now about to die.

"Sect Master."

"Sect Master."

Many disciples of the Yin Gui Sect were moved; they stared at that silhouette, eager to step forward and help. Their ghostly Qi was transferred to the Sect Master, leaving only a trace of the original ghostly Qi, rendering them unable to fight. In front of the Heavenly Ghost, they lacked even the courage to act.

Moreover, they could become the Heavenly Ghost's food, swallowed by it to replenish itself.

From afar, Xinran Zhanglao saw the scene and shook his head.

"Yin Gui Zhenren, not without merit as a hero, dares to sacrifice his life to take the Heavenly Ghost away."

"The founding Sect Master, possessing such resolve, truly a pity."

"In the Great Yama World, this divine technique, once unleashed, cannot be halted nor interrupted."

They will perish together, annihilated alongside the Heavenly Ghost.

The Heavenly Ghost True Person will naturally die as well; this battle, contrary to many expectations, ends in mutual destruction, which for them is a good thing.

"Heavenly Heart Sect's Heaven Sword Daoist and others, it is also time."

Turning, he stared at the nearby Heavenly Heart Sect, his hand resting on his sword.

The sword quivered once.

Jing Yuheng and the others also began to act; the Black Dragon Guard purposefully approached the Heavenly Heart Sect.

White Wolf Deputy Hall Master and his companions waited for the chance to strike; once they acted, it would be a killing blow.

"Hall Master, everything is arranged; once the Heavenly Ghost and Yin Gui Zhenren die, we will act immediately."

"Very well, White Wolf Deputy Hall Master, do not rush to act; wait for the others to move first."

"Understood."

White Wolf Deputy Hall Master naturally did not wish to be the one to stand out; those of the Heavenly Heart Sect were not easy to deal with, and a single misstep could entangle him as well.

The nearby individuals all stared at the Heavenly Heart Sect; they intended to kill the Heaven Sword Daoist and his companions.

In short, none of those from the Heavenly Heart Sect may be spared.

The Monster Race's green deer demon crossed its arms, watching those actions; the Heavenly Heart Sect had offended too many, not only the Monster Race but also other forces and sects, and the Spirit Sword Sect had also intervened.

"The Heavenly Heart Sect has offended too many; they seek to annihilate the heart of the Heavenly Heart Sect, just like us."

"This world is destined to change."

"The Heavenly Heart Sect's time to fall has come."

If the Heavenly Heart Sect falls, the Monster Race can seize some resources and strengthen itself.

Rather than being driven to a remote corner, where life is worse than death.

The best places in this world are all controlled by the Heavenly Heart Sect; how could others simply give up?

"Spirit Sword Sect's Xinran Zhanglao, rumored to be tormented by Technique, must not be offended."

"Heaven Sword Daoist and Tianlian Zhenren have arrived; they must be separated."

"Great Qi Dynasty also wishes to act; although the Black Dragon Guard is not strong, they can hunt the Heavenly Heart Sect's disciples."

"If it weren't for fearing they would act against our Monster Race, humph."

The Monster Race cannot strike first.

Once those humans sense the threat, they will unite to oppose it.

In the end, the goal is not achieved; they end up delivering themselves to the door.

The green deer demon will remember White Deer King's orders: if possible, refrain from acting, and act as little as possible.

His appearance represents the Monster Race's stance: to annihilate the Heavenly Heart Sect, they will certainly help the cause, but they cannot sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Underground.

Mu Longhao sensed an ominous aura and murmured, "The battle is about to end."

An end is also a beginning.

"Heavenly Heart Sect is about to be surrounded."

"Those people intend to act against the Heavenly Heart Sect's members."

"Jie Jie."

"Yin Gui Sect is good at scheming, but alas, they miscalculated; the Heavenly Ghost's descent was not foreseen by Yin Gui Zhenren."

The Yin Gui Sect, Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Monster Race, and Great Qi Dynasty all gathered here.

The Yin Gui Sect's movements were a trap, intended to lure the Heavenly Heart Sect over and thereby annihilate part of its members.

This is their opportunity; within it, Yin Gui Sect's scheming is certain.

Yin Gui Zhenren is very clever, understanding how to exploit the situation.

On the other side.

The Shadow Dragon Holy Son stepped forward, fixed his gaze on the bodies of the Heavenly Ghost and Yin Gui Zhenren sinking together, and raised his right hand.

Countless ghostly Qi gathered in his palm, forming a massive, terrifying dragon of ghostly Qi.

It aimed at the Heavenly Ghost.

"Yin Gui Sect secret technique, Shadow Dragon."

One Shadow Dragon appeared, followed immediately by nine more Shadow Dragons.

These Shadow Dragons bared fangs and claws, charging straight toward the Heavenly Ghost.

"Ghost Dragon Nine Kill."

"Heaven Ghost, Heaven Ghost True Person, I'm sorry, let me send you off."

Yin Dragon attacked, nine Yin Dragons, passed through Heaven Ghost's body.

The already weak body, after taking that move, could not dodge.

Heaven Ghost's body rapidly shrank, one-third of its ghost qi origin was consumed.

Those Yin Dragons tore at Heaven Ghost's ghost qi origin; Heaven Ghost's origin decreased, his control over his body began to weaken; Heaven Ghost True Person came to seize it, the two fell into a struggle, this body condensed from a soul was constantly devoured by the Yin Dragons.

Yin Dragon, what it devours are ghosts, strong ghosts, are its food.

"Yin Dragon Holy Son, how dare you?"

"Backstab."

Heaven Ghost True Person lowered his head, glared at Yin Dragon Holy Son; this person was someone he had personally supported, yet at the critical moment, he backstabbed himself.

"Heaven Ghost True Person, don't think this holy son doesn't know your schemes; it's merely that you've taken a fancy to this holy son's body, wanting to take his place."

"This holy son has been in seclusion, just waiting for this moment."

"Heaven Ghost True Person, please go die."

"Yin Dragon, explode."

Several Yin Dragons suddenly exploded.

"Boom—"

They exploded together, unstoppable.

"Ah."

Heaven Ghost True Person gained control of his body, but would suffer heavy injuries.

He saw death, he saw despair.

Unable to escape.

"Yin Dragon Holy Son, even if I die, I will drag you down with me."

"Die together with me."

Heaven Ghost True Person made a move, wanting to drag Yin Dragon Holy Son to die together.

Yin Dragon Holy Son shook his head: "A spent force, yet you dare to act recklessly."

"Heaven Ghost True Person, you are no longer who you were."

"Yin Dragon Purgatory Kill."

Another Yin Dragon appeared, swiftly flew over, entwined Heaven Ghost True Person, and strangled him.

Yin Gui Zhenren saw hope; at this moment, he withdrew from this world.

Both hands quickly formed seals, continuously unleashing, continuously sealing Heaven Ghost True Person.

"Seal."

The last bit of ghost qi spewed out, sealing Heaven Ghost.

And he, withdrew.

"No!"

"You wait, I will still..."

The sound came to an abrupt halt.

Great Yama's hand contracted, completely closed.

That world no longer had any gaps.

Disappeared before their eyes.

Yin Gui Zhenren closed his eyes, his body fell.

The Fourth Elder saw this, rushed over, and caught the Sect Leader.

"Sect Leader."

Holding the Sect Leader, several Elders appeared at his side, together with the disciples they surrounded him, staring at Yin Dragon Holy Son.
