Wan Shan and Ku Gui were seated side by side in the great hall of the Night Ghost Pavilion. Wan Shan opened his mouth and replied after hearing Ku Gui's words. Ku Gui laughed faintly when he heard this. His laughter contained a trace of fatigue.
"Actually, you shouldn't have interfered in this matter. If the Evil Sky Palace hadn't interfered and offered some compensation, I believe Tian Jue and the others wouldn't have made things difficult for you. After all, the alliance of the five great sects isn't solid."
Some blamed Wan Shan for interfering in this matter. Actually, half a month ago, Wan Shan had personally met with Ku Gui and made it clear that the Demonic Sky Hall would not betray the Night Ghost Pavilion. It was precisely because of this that Wan Shan had sent the elite disciples of the Demonic Sky Hall out of the North Star Realm through the Horizon's Limit, just like the Night Ghost Pavilion.
At this moment, Wan Shan's expression changed when he heard Ku Gui's reprimand. He actually said respectfully to Ku Gui, "Uncle, what do you mean? If it wasn't for you, how could I be where I am today? I'm not a coward who's afraid of death. This time, I'll definitely fight to the death with uncle."
Wan Shan actually called Ku Gui uncle. Hearing this, Blood Moon Great Sovereign and the others were stunned. What did this mean? The dignified number one Great Sovereign of the Evil Sky Palace actually called Ku Gui uncle?
They naturally didn't know the relationship between Wan Shan and Ku Gui because even though they were both Quasi-saint Great Sovereigns, Blood Moon Great Sovereign and the others were too young compared to Wan Shan and Ku Gui.
If one wanted to talk about the relationship between Wan Shan and Ku Gui, one would have to start from when Ku Gui was young. He couldn't remember how many years it had been. At that time, Ku Gui was just an ordinary disciple of the Night Ghost Pavilion.
Ku Gui and Wan Shan's parents met when they went out to train. It should have been very difficult for the Ghost Clan and the Devil Clan to become friends, but nothing was absolute. Ku Gui and Wan Shan's parents became very good friends just like that. Moreover, as time passed, the three of them became life and death friends. They frequently went out to train together and wandered various secret realms in the North Star Boundary to improve their cultivation.
As they ceaselessly tempered themselves on the brink of life and death, their cultivations improved incessantly. At the same time, their relationship grew deeper and deeper. Unfortunately, a mishap occurred during their tempering. Wan Shan's parents fell into a trap and were unable to escape, whereas, Ku Gui's cultivation was merely at the Dao Emperor Realm at that time, so he was unable to rescue Wan Shan's parents.
In the end, Wan Shan's parents entrusted Wan Shan to Ku Gui. Ku Gui, who managed to escape the calamity, took Wan Shan in and raised him. He even taught Wan Shan how to cultivate. Later on, Wan Shan joined the Demonic Sky Palace. Only then did the two of them gradually cut off contact.
Because too much time had passed, no one knew about the relationship between the two. At this moment, when he heard Wan Shan call him uncle, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Withered Ghost's eyes. Then, he sighed softly.
"How many years has it been? The brat from the past has now become an overlord. I almost forgot."
As he spoke, Withered Ghost looked at Wan Shan with a gentle expression. It felt like a father sizing up his child. After a moment of silence, Withered Ghost continued.
"Remember my words. If you can't win this battle, run and save your life."
"Uncle …" Wan Shan wanted to refute Withered Ghost's words, but this time, Withered Ghost obviously didn't give him a chance. He shouted in a deep voice.
"This is an order."
Withered Ghost wanted Wan Shan to save his life. Seeing Withered Ghost's serious expression, Wan Shan finally nodded silently. However, Wan Shan didn't have the slightest intention of retreating. This time, he must live and die with his uncle.
It was completely unexpected that Withered Ghost was like a father to Wan Shan. There was actually such a relationship between the two of them.
As the oldest and oldest quasi-sage Supreme Venerate in the North Star Boundary, Withered Ghost's life was indeed legendary. There were too many memories and too many things that intertwined together to weave Withered Ghost's long life.
Withered Ghost naturally knew what Wan Shan was thinking when he nodded in agreement. He sighed silently and then turned to Blood Moon Great Sovereign and the others. "Go and prepare."
After saying that, Withered Ghost disappeared from the main hall. After Withered Ghost left, Wan Shan also left. Blood Moon Great Sovereign and the others began to prepare for the battle.
Ever since the five great sects declared war on the Night Ghost Pavilion and the Evil Sky Palace stood firmly on the Night Ghost Pavilion's side, the entire North Star Boundary was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere for half a month.
After half a month, the Night Ghost Pavilion and the army of the five great sects finally arrived at the Dark Night Continent.
Thousands of huge starships, each at least a few thousand meters long, descended on the Night Ghost Pavilion's Night Ghost Continent and flew straight toward the Night Ghost Pavilion.
The army of the five great sects had arrived. The Night Ghost Pavilion was located in the center of the Night Ghost Continent. The buildings of the Night Ghost Pavilion were all black. Looking from afar, rows of black buildings stretched endlessly.
However, at this moment, at the highest point of the Night Ghost Pavilion, all the experts of the Night Ghost Pavilion and the Evil Sky Palace had gathered in a huge square.
At the front of the crowd was Withered Ghost, Wan Shan, and the other Great Sovereigns of the two sects.
The Great Sovereigns were all sitting cross-legged. Their slightly closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment. Blood Moon Great Sovereign said in a low voice, "They're here …"
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the starships in front of them appeared in everyone's sight. They rapidly approached from the horizon and soon arrived above the Night Ghost Pavilion.
"Five great sects, even if we have to fight to the death, we won't let you off so easily." Wan Shan's eyes flashed coldly as he faced the starships of the five great sects. His heart was overflowing with killing intent.
Wan Shan's killing intent was rampant. On the other hand, Withered Ghost seemed very calm. He looked indifferently at the starships in the sky. At this moment, voices slowly came to the deck of the five starships in the lead.
The Great Sovereigns of the Supreme Deity Sect, Liwang Sect, Myriad Beast Valley, Nine Heavens, and Sacred Palace had brought their Chosen and Saintesses onto the starships.
Among them, the Supreme Deity Sect's Jiang Taishen, Liwang Sect's Huang Gu, Myriad Beast Valley's Lion Sect, Nine Heavens' Tian Jue, and Sacred Palace's Xiao Sheng stood at the front of the crowd.
However, Withered Ghost automatically ignored Xiao Sheng when he looked at the five of them. This was because Xiao Sheng was only at the initial quasi-saint stage. In Withered Ghost's eyes, he was practically a child. Moreover, in terms of seniority, Withered Ghost could probably be Xiao Sheng's great-grandfather. Therefore, Withered Ghost completely ignored Xiao Sheng and locked his gaze on Jiang Taishen and the other three.
"Jiang Taishen, Huang Gu, Lion Sect, Tian Jue, we haven't seen each other for several decades," Withered Ghost said in a calm voice.
