Chapter 873: The Ghost Emperor Emerges

This Ghost King liked Fairy Baihua, but unfortunately, the result was predictable: he was chased and killed by Fairy Baihua all the way, almost getting chopped to death.

Watching the atmosphere in the hall become increasingly strange,

after all, no one wanted such things to happen to themselves; being cautious was definitely not wrong.

But now was clearly not the time to worry about these things.

The three Ghost Kings who escaped last night looked at the suspicious crowd and said:

"I say, what we should be considering most right now is the Dao Yi Sect."

"That's right, these things can wait until later."

But their persuasion didn't have any effect. Some things, once suspicion arises, are unstoppable.

The Ghost Kings still looked at their companions with suspicion.

Just as the Ghost Kings were suspecting each other, a ghost shadow appeared in the hall without warning.

Its whole body was surrounded by a thick mass of ghost energy, making it impossible to see its face.

But as this ghost shadow appeared, the Ghost Kings present were all stunned, then stood up respectfully one after another:

"Greetings, Ghost Emperor."

The person who arrived was none other than one of the two Ghost Emperors of Ghost Valley.

As soon as the Ghost Emperor appeared, the Ghost Kings present stopped their discussions.

"To actually have more than ten Ghost Kings die in one night—heh, that's quite a skill."

As soon as he spoke, one could hear the Ghost Emperor's extreme dissatisfaction with what happened last night. To this, the Ghost Kings didn't dare to refute in the slightest and could only listen honestly.

Stepping to the main seat and scanning the many Ghost Kings present, the Ghost Emperor asked coldly:

"Regardless of the reason, after last night's battle, do you still think you are a match for the Dao Yi Sect?"

No Ghost King answered. With more than ten Ghost Kings dead in one battle, who would dare say they could defeat the Dao Yi Sect?

There was no need for the Ghost Kings to answer; the Ghost Emperor said coldly:

"I think you all have the answer in your hearts. Even if we were to act, the final result probably wouldn't be too good."

Even if the Ghost Emperor acted, it would be difficult to reverse the situation. Don't forget, Yu Mo and the other two hadn't even shown themselves yet, and they hadn't shown any signs of acting last night.

Otherwise, the Ghost Emperor wouldn't have stayed hidden all this time.

Hearing these words, the Ghost Kings already had their guesses. One Ghost King even dared to say:

"Does the Ghost Emperor mean..."

"Let's talk. See what the Dao Yi Sect wants. As long as it's not too excessive, agree to it."

"This..."

Calling it negotiation sounds nice, but isn't it just begging for peace?

The Ghost Emperor actually had the thought of begging for peace, which the Ghost Kings found hard to accept for a moment.

You have to know, for so many years, facing the Huangji Sect, which is also one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, Ghost Valley had never begged for peace in such a humiliating way.

In fact, many times, it was the Huangji Sect that took the initiative to show weakness, allowing the two sides to cooperate for so many years.

But now, the Ghost Emperor actually wanted to beg for peace—didn't that equal admitting that Ghost Valley was inferior to the Dao Yi Sect?

There was a breath in their hearts that was hard to swallow. Seeing the changes in the Ghost Kings' expressions, the Ghost Emperor naturally knew what they were thinking.

He snorted coldly.

"Feeling ashamed? Then why didn't you win last night? You lost, yet you refuse to admit it?"

"No, it is our incompetence."

"Hmph, the current Dao Yi Sect is in its prime, and those three old guys, Yu Mo and the others, are like cornered beasts at the end of their lives. Fighting the Dao Yi Sect to the death at such a time is absolutely the most stupid decision."

Begging for peace was the result of the Ghost Emperor's careful consideration. For one, the crushing defeat last night had already put Ghost Valley at a disadvantage.

Even if Ghost Valley could deal with Qi Xiong and the disciples of those four peaks, what then?

What about the remaining thirty-two peaks of the Dao Yi Sect? Could they still win?

Another, and most critical reason, was Yu Mo and the other two.

The Ghost Emperor's thoughts were the same as the rest of the world's: they all believed Yu Mo and the others were now cornered beasts, grasshoppers after autumn, and wouldn't be able to jump for much longer.

What is the point of fighting to the death with someone who is about to die?

Moreover, the Ghost Emperor didn't have to worry about lifespan; he didn't have to worry about that point at all. He could wear Yu Mo and the others down slowly.

Therefore, bowing temporarily was the wisest choice.

Without giving the Ghost Kings a chance to refute, as soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Emperor said:

"This matter is decided as such. I will personally come forward. Remember, do not provoke the Dao Yi Sect in the future. Whatever they want, just give it to them."

After speaking, the Ghost Emperor's figure slowly disappeared, leaving the Ghost Kings feeling both unwilling and helpless.

On the other side, at the Dao Yi Sect's Lingcheng, the disciples had just finished breakfast and were resting, discussing how to go to Ghost Valley and mess with them again later.

In the backyard of the kitchen, Yu Mo and the other four were comfortably drinking tea, but suddenly, Yu Mo opened his eyes and laughed softly:

"They came quite quickly."

The surroundings of Lingcheng were naturally covered by arrays set up by Zhang Tianzhen, and at this moment, the Ghost Emperor was standing outside the array.

With his strength, he could naturally break these arrays easily, but since he came to beg for peace, he kept a very low profile.

He only leaked a trace of his aura without attacking the array, waiting for Yu Mo and the others to show themselves.

Sensing the Ghost Emperor's aura, Yu Mo and the other four looked at each other.

"Jiangshan, Peng Yun, you two should not show yourselves."

It was not suitable for the two to appear before the world right now. Hearing this, Jiangshan and Peng Yun nodded.

Then, Yu Mo and the other three flashed and disappeared from where they stood.

Outside the array, as Yu Mo and the other three appeared, the Ghost Emperor was just about to speak, but seeing their rosy complexions, his face under the ghost energy looked slightly complex.

This doesn't look like people who are about to die, damn it.

Yu Mo took the initiative:

"You old ghost, it's been quite a few years. What do you want to say? Speak. Do you want to exchange a few moves or what?"

Looking at Yu Mo and the other three who showed no signs of death, the Ghost Emperor was stunned, then replied:

"My Ghost Valley has no intention of being enemies with your Dao Yi Sect. Speak, what is your purpose in coming here?"

So he's here to beg for peace?

Hearing this, Yu Mo replied with a smile:

"You should have said so earlier. Wouldn't it have been better if you said so earlier?"

"You... enough nonsense. What exactly does your Dao Yi Sect want?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Just looking for some things."

"Looking for things?"

"Your Ghost Valley has good things, doesn't it? How about you let us go in and look around?"

Wanting treasures? Hearing this, the Ghost Emperor's face instantly turned ugly. This is truly a lion's opening of the mouth.

Let you go in and look around? The way he said it was simply bottomless.

How much is "looking around" exactly?

"Impossible! Tell me what you want and give me a number. Otherwise, if you empty out Ghost Valley, do you expect me to agree?"

Without a fixed quantity, it meant there was no upper limit; he certainly couldn't agree.

Being rejected, Yu Mo wasn't in a hurry and continued to say with a smile:

"So there's nothing to talk about then?"

"You should at least give me a number." ===== CHAPTER 874 =====
