Chapter 464: A Counter-Attack

Watching their own Ghost Kings fighting in a frenzy, yet not seeing a single Profound Heaven Sect disciple,

the arriving evil spirits were stunned.

The leading Ghost General, seeing this, wanted to speak up and persuade them.

"Ghost Kings, what are you..."

But the moment he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a furious Ghost King.

"Get lost!"

"Yes, sir!"

It’s over, they are truly finished. What kind of evil spell have the Ghost Kings fallen under?

"Could it be a dark art of the Profound Heaven Sect?"

"Get out of here! What dark art could control a Ghost King?"

Human cultivators, including evil spirits, do have ways to control people, but it is absolutely impossible to control a powerhouse at the Ghost King level.

Moreover, looking at the Ghost Kings, they didn't look controlled at all. Listen to what they were saying.

"This King will finish you off first, then go finish off that unfilial son!"

"People say even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs."

"Get lost! Is that even my son?"

Wives, unfilial sons—listening to the angry curses of the Ghost Kings, the many evil spirits below were completely dumbfounded.

They were truly fighting with real fire, and as time passed, the Ghost Kings were suffering varying degrees of injuries.

At this rate, it was estimated that a Ghost King would truly fall.

But anxious as they were, they had no way to intervene. They wanted to stop it, but they didn't have the ability.

On the other side, at the Profound Heaven Sect’s Spirit City, the disciples returned with a full load, and the injured disciples were arranged to heal.

But before leaving, these disciples said with reluctance:

"Remember my Ghost Crystals!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it will be absolutely fair and just."

"I risked my life to kill a Yellow-Leaf Ghost."

"I know, what’s yours will definitely not be missing."

"Good, good, good."

They didn't show much concern for their own injuries; the only thing on their minds was those Ghost Crystals.

After settling the injured disciples, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others gathered together.

"Master and the others' plan succeeded. Those Ghost Kings really started fighting."

"This is a good opportunity."

"Shall we launch a follow-up attack?"

"Hehe, that’s a good idea. You thought of the same thing I did."

Xu Jie and Zhong Ling looked at each other, both wearing faint, extremely sinister smiles.

Since there was such a good opportunity, they definitely couldn't miss it. Moreover, reinforcements for Ghost Valley had arrived.

Many more evil spirits had arrived at the outskirts. If they launched a surprise attack now, the harvest would definitely not be small.

Seeing the two of them talking about nothing but evil spirits, Zhao Rou couldn't help but say:

"Have you forgotten the true purpose of our coming to Ghost Valley?"

Why did everyone come to Ghost Valley? To hunt evil spirits? No, it was to find the Heavenly Fragrance Ghost Fruit.

It’s just that ever since Junior Brother Changqing changed the dining rules, everyone seemed to have thrown the Heavenly Fragrance Ghost Fruit to the back of their minds.

This is absurd. You guys aren't thinking about the Heavenly Fragrance Ghost Fruit, but thinking about killing evil spirits all day—what’s the meaning of that?

But hearing Zhao Rou’s words, Xu Jie said righteously:

"What’s wrong with that? Once we kill all the evil spirits in Ghost Valley, are we afraid we won't find the Heavenly Fragrance Ghost Fruit?"

"This..."

The words sounded a bit off, but Zhao Rou couldn't refute them for a moment. It made some sense.

"That’s right, once we finish off the evil spirits in Ghost Valley, we’ll have plenty of time to look."

Zhong Ling also nodded in agreement. The two hit it off immediately. Seeing them like this, Zhao Zhengping felt more and more that these two had the look of a couple.

"I’ll go find Master and the others to discuss it."

Such an excellent opportunity definitely couldn't be wasted.

Soon, he found Hong Zun and the others and told them his idea.

Hearing this, Hong Zun and the others were not surprised.

"Wait a little longer. Let them fight until they're nearly done, then we'll talk."

What Xu Jie could think of, Hong Zun and the others naturally had thought of as well.

The reason they retreated earlier was to create an opportunity for the Ghost Kings.

Otherwise, if the Profound Heaven Sect were present, the Ghost Kings, even if angry, might have forcibly held back due to the threat.

By retreating directly, with no sign of Profound Heaven Sect disciples around, the anger in their hearts would naturally be harder to suppress without the threat.

When they fight some more and both sides are injured, that will be the time for the Profound Heaven Sect to act.

"Tell the disciples to rest first."

"Good."

Wait for a while.

As they were speaking, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling suddenly came from the outskirts of Ghost Valley. Hearing this, the expressions of Hong Zun and the others changed.

"They really killed one?"

With their Saintly Sense covering the area, a Ghost King had actually fallen? They didn't expect such a result.

Being able to have a big fight would have been considered a success.

But they didn't expect these Ghost Kings to be so ruthless as to actually kill one. This was an unexpected joy.

Qi Xiong said with a complex expression:

"I think we might not even need to act."

Damn, with this way of fighting, the Profound Heaven Sect might not even need to act; these Ghost Kings will finish themselves off.

The most shocked were the many evil spirits on the battlefield.

Before, they were just shocked, but now they were terrified.

Watching with their own eyes as one Ghost King was slain by another, the many evil spirits were dumbfounded.

What is this for? Not fighting the Profound Heaven Sect, but killing their own people? What is the meaning of this?

"What is the situation now?"

"I don't know."

"Should we try to stop them? If this continues, it’s going to be trouble."

"You go then."

"I..."

With one Ghost King fallen, the other Ghost Kings, upon seeing this, not only didn't restrain themselves, but fought even more fiercely.

It was like adding oil to a fire.

You can kill, so can I! How dare you sleep with my wife!

The battle became increasingly chaotic, and Ji Wushuang, who had been watching, was stunned when he heard a Ghost King had fallen.

"Dead? Killed by their own people?"

"Yes, my junior brother and I saw it with our own eyes."

"Are they a bunch of idiots? Not dealing with the Profound Heaven Sect, but killing their own?"

"Maybe they fought until they went crazy."

"This is fighting until they went crazy? I think they were sick to begin with."

It’s over. Judging by the current situation, Ji Wushuang felt that these stupid things in Ghost Valley were no match for the Profound Heaven Sect at all.

Look, they just started fighting and were already being held firmly in the palm of the Profound Heaven Sect.

They didn't even need the other side to act, and a Ghost King was already dead.

Although the number of Ghost Kings in Ghost Valley was not small, they couldn't do things like this.
