Chapter 466

"Be careful with the Ghost Crystals, don't break them!"

After a fierce battle, by the time it ended, the sky was already slightly bright. The battlefield was a mess, and the disciples were collecting Ghost Crystals while checking for survivors.

As for the Ghost Kings, only three managed to escape successfully. The rest either died at the hands of their own people or were slain by Qi Xiong and the others.

It could be said that in just one night, the victory achieved by the Profound Heaven Sect was enormous. Just the number of Ghost Kings slain exceeded ten.

Just as Qi Xiong and the others stood in the air, watching the disciples clean up the battlefield, the image-projection array plate in their arms suddenly lit up.

Connecting it, they found it was Wu Shou.

"Grand Senior Brother, did you go to Ghost Valley?"

As soon as he started, Wu Shou asked with an ugly expression. He had just received the news and, hearing that Qi Xiong and the others had gone to Ghost Valley, he contacted them immediately.

Damn, they just had a fight with the Azure Cloud Sect, and now they’re turning around and going to Ghost Valley? What do they want to do? Fight Ghost Valley again? Or do they want to mess with the Imperial Extreme Sect?

Faced with Wu Shou’s worry, Qi Xiong replied with a smile:

"Yeah, we’ve been here for a few days. What’s wrong?"

What’s wrong?

Watching Qi Xiong’s indifferent expression, Wu Shou’s mouth twitched.

He was exhausted like a dog in the sect all day, and you guys are doing this today and that tomorrow.

Suppressing the grievance, resentment, and anger in his heart, he said:

"What are you doing in Ghost Valley?"

"Oh, looking for something."

Looking for something? Wu Shou couldn't hold it in anymore.

What kind of mindset does one have to have to say such things? Looking for something? Do you think Ghost Valley is the Profound Heaven Sect’s backyard? Besides, what are you looking for that requires taking tens of thousands of people?

Unable to hold back anymore, he roared:

"Grand Senior Brother, can you let me have a few days of peace?"

"Hmm???"

"Can you bring the Junior Uncles and the others back directly and stop causing trouble outside?"

"Hmm???"

"Can you consider my hard work? I am the First Elder, not the Sect Master. Do you know how many things I have to deal with in a day? I don't even have time to cultivate!"

"Hmm???"

"Really, I beg you, don't cause me any more trouble. I’m really tired, I..."

As he spoke, Wu Shou’s voice carried a hint of sobbing; he looked truly aggrieved.

As for Qi Xiong, he was puzzled. What happened? It’s just a trip to Ghost Valley, nothing major, right? Could it be...

Looking at Wu Shou’s aggrieved expression, Qi Xiong seemed to suddenly think of something and said earnestly:

"Junior Brother, don't worry. When I return, the position of Sect Master will definitely be yours. Don't be impatient, just endure a little longer. Good things take time."

"I ##￥￥%#%￥"

It was meant to be a kind consolation, but hearing this, Wu Shou started cursing. Do you think I want the Sect Master position?

Watching Wu Shou, who had completely lost his reason, Qi Xiong hung up the array without a word.

"Sigh, the Second Junior Brother is just too impatient."

Watching Qi Xiong sighing to himself, Hong Zun and the others nearby had their mouths twitching. Are you sure that’s what the Second Senior Brother meant?

"Move faster, or we won't make it in time for breakfast."

Qi Xiong said, looking at the disciples below. Hearing the words "breakfast," the disciples’ movements did indeed speed up quite a bit.

After the Profound Heaven Sect people finished cleaning the battlefield and left, in the Ghost Palace deep in Ghost Valley,

the three Ghost Kings who escaped last night, along with more than ten other Ghost Kings, had gathered.

These Ghost Kings had either been in seclusion or had other things to do.

Plus, the Profound Heaven Sect only brought disciples from four peaks, and with more than ten Ghost Kings present, they should have been able to handle it, so they didn't show up.

But after last night’s battle, these Ghost Kings couldn't sit still.

"Speak, what happened? How did it become like this overnight?"

A Ghost King asked with an ugly expression. Damn, this battle was simply inconceivable.

Not to mention the two or three hundred thousand evil spirits that died, more than ten Ghost Kings were killed. It’s simply absurd. Did you guys not fight back?

Facing the Ghost King’s inquiry, the three who escaped last night said with ugly expressions:

"It was all a trick by the Profound Heaven Sect. We fell for it."

"Fell for a trick? What kind of trick could kill more than ten Ghost Kings?"

"This... this..."

Yes, what kind of trick could cause such a result? It was hard to say, but in the end, the three Ghost Kings told the truth about what happened last night.

And hearing their account, the Ghost Kings present were all stunned, and then they started looking at each other.

Especially those with ghost wives, they locked their gazes firmly on their closest brothers.

Scanning up, down, left, and right, as if they wanted to see through them.

Although they didn't speak, the meaning was already obvious.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Feeling uncomfortable being watched, a Ghost King couldn't help but shout in a low voice. To this, the other Ghost King said with a serious expression:

"You..."

"What’s wrong?"

"Did you go to my house for dinner the day before yesterday?"

"Yeah, you were there, weren't you?"

"My wife was there too."

"So what? You were sitting right next to her, what could I have done?"

"But I went out halfway through."

As he spoke, the suspicion in his eyes was overflowing. There was a problem, a big problem. No wonder he always felt this guy and his wife were flirting during the meal.

In the end, his wife even deliberately asked him to go get blood. It turned out it was to send him away to create an opportunity for them?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was true. Immediately, the Ghost King roared:

"Sure enough! I caught you, didn't I? You dogs, you really do have something going on!"

The sudden roar startled the other Ghost King, who immediately roared back with equal anger:

"You left for at most ten breaths! What could I have done in that time? Tighten your belt; that’s not even enough time to take off your pants!"

"Bullshit! Don't think I don't know you never wear a belt!"

"Are you crazy? Ten breaths is enough for what?"

"Who knows if you’re a quick-shooter?"

"Quick your mother!"

Because of the ten-breath gap, two Ghost Kings who were usually close friends started arguing.

It wasn't just them; two other Ghost Kings nearby were also in a tense atmosphere.

"I feel like my son doesn't look like me at all."

"You..."

"Don't speak yet. Look at this nose, these eyes, this pale complexion—it’s exactly the same as yours!"

From being cheated on while alive to being a "happy father" after death—such things must be handled with caution.

And this Ghost King, after hearing about Gui Wang’s situation, felt more and more that his son didn't look like him, but exactly like his brother.

Killing intent gradually gathered in his eyes. Good, another "Gui Wang." I treated you as a brother, and you did this to me?

Messing with my wife is one thing, but you even made me a "happy father" and hid it from me for so long!

He was about to start cursing, but the Ghost King opposite him said first:

"Did you drink too much blood or eat too many people until you’re stupid? Your son was adopted from me, and we are biological brothers!"

Hmm???

In any case, with the exposure of last night’s events, the atmosphere in the Ghost Palace hall became extremely strange.

All the Ghost Kings were filled with suspicion, and details they had never noticed before were now infinitely magnified.
