Xu Anyuan knew that these people wanted to harm him. However, he could not openly attack them while he was in the Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain. The realm of the Ghost Lords was nothing more than the realm of Supreme Celestial Immortals. There were 360 of them in his Myriad Transformation Kingdom. If he pulled them out, he could wipe out the entire Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain, or rather, possess them all. However, this was not the outcome that Xu Anyuan wanted. As long as he controlled one Nine Palaces Ghost Lord, he could control the entire Nine Palaces Ghost Mountain. These Evil Spirits that possessed bodies were still of great use and could not be confined to such a small place.
The group of people walked along a rugged mountain road. However, at a few forks in the road, as expected, they wanted to lead them to another road that contained great danger. Xu Anyuan observed with his Ground Eye. If they took that road, they would lead to a gray area. There were several teleportation portals that led to great danger. Xu Anyuan frowned at the sight.
"Everyone, I don't think this is the way to the peak, right?" the Seven-Star Ghost Emperor said slowly.
"Yes, it's this way. The most dangerous way is also the safest. Master deliberately used this method to make those with ill intentions lose themselves in the Nine Palaces Formation. Just follow us. Your current attainments in formations are still far from ours. You've only received a few pointers from Master. There are some details that you still don't understand. Master is very resourceful, and many of the formations are set up in a unique way." Nine-Tailed Fairy spoke logically and was very convincing. Her smile became gentle, and no one could feel that she harbored ill intentions. Nine-Tailed Fairy also knew that the Seven-Star Ghost Emperor must have gained something from the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord's pointers. He must have seen something fishy, which was why he asked this question. However, she was already prepared for it. Everything made sense.
If it were not for the fact that Xu Anyuan could listen to the thoughts of others with humanity, he might have been dubious. However, no matter what Nine-Tailed Fairy said, Xuanyuan would not believe her.
"Oh, I see. Please lead the way." The Seven Star Ghost Monarch nodded and gestured with his hand as if he was enlightened.
"Yes, follow closely. If you're not careful, you might die. Recently, our relationship with the Ghost Mountains has been very tense, so we have no choice but to follow you. This is also the reason why Master asked us to come and pick you up." Nine-Tailed Fairy spoke logically and thought that there were no flaws, but she could not hide it from Xuanyuan.
Just as they began to walk on the other path, Xuanyuan followed the correct path in the Seven-Star Ghost Emperor's memory and led them all the way. The Fighting Energy in his body had accumulated to a peak, and he howled like a pig being slaughtered. His howl resounded through heaven and earth.
"'Nine Palace Ghost Sovereign', please spare me, please spare me, this lowly one is loyal to you, I have no other intentions, if this lowly one has made any mistakes, I am willing to use all of my wealth to make up for it, please 'Nine Palace Ghost Sovereign' don't kill me, and this lowly one really does not know what kind of process I have committed, please 'Nine Palace Ghost Sovereign' tell me …"
The miserable howl of the Seven Star Ghost Emperor was extremely penetrative. Furthermore, it was infused with the power of the Vicious Spirit Possessing Body. He was not afraid that the Nine-Palaces Ghost Emperor would not be able to hear it. This was because the Vicious Spirit Possessing Body was at the level of a Supreme Celestial Immortal, a Ghost Emperor. His three disciples instantly turned pale with fright. They had never expected the Seven Star Ghost Emperor to be so sensitive to their intentions and use such a method to save himself!
"The Seven Star Ghost Emperor, what nonsense are you talking about …" The Nine-Tailed Fairy's face was pale. She was about to explain, but the Seven Star Ghost Emperor dragged Xuanyuan and Liyue to the road. He screamed as if his parents had died, "Seven Star Ghost Emperor, what are you talking about?
"Spare me, Nine Palaces Ghost Lord. If you don't want me to die, why did you send your three disciples to pick me up and bring me into the Ominous Place? Aren't you trying to kill me? This time, I have brought two supreme treasures to the Ghost Lord. 'Nine Palaces Ghost Lord', you must not treat me like this. This lowly one always thinks of Lord Ghost Lord when I have any benefits outside. I really have no second thoughts … "
The Seven Star Ghost Emperor's old tears streamed down his face. His voice reached the heavens and pierced the eardrums of those who were not strong enough. His voice was so tragic that it was frightening. Many people were surprised because they could see the Seven Star Ghost Emperor's loyalty. If the Nine Palaces Ghost Sovereign really had no reason to order the Seven Star Ghost Emperor to die, it would be too chilling for them.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, a mighty voice rang out from the main hall.
"Heh, so it's Seven Stars. Come, come, it was indeed me who told the three of them to pick you up. That path isn't a dead end, and both paths are safe. The Nine Palaces Illusory Array can't transform into a perfect shape in a short time, so the path you're on will become a dead end in just one more day. That's true, so don't worry too much."
Upon hearing the words of the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord, the expressions of his three disciples changed. However, at this moment, they knew that it was meaningless to say anything. The Nine Palaces Ghost Lord was trying to absolve them. However, under the watchful eyes of the public, it was uncertain how he would settle the score after this. The two male disciples were looking at the Nine-Tailed Immortal. Whether they could be safe or not depended on her. After all, she was the only one who had an affair with the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord. Although she was his disciple on the surface, he could kill her if he was unhappy.
At first, the Nine-Tailed Immortal only disliked the Seven Star Ghost Emperor a little. She was far from wanting to kill him. However, when she saw Li Yue, she realized that Li Yue was better than her in every aspect. His physique was more special than hers, and his looks were much better than hers. Moreover, he had the Body of Origin Yin. Once he was offered to the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord, her status would immediately plummet. She originally wanted to kill Li Yue after killing the Seven Star Ghost Emperor, but now there was no chance at all. These were only her personal thoughts and were not for others to know.
The corners of Xu Anyuan's mouth curled into a cold smile. Everything was under his control. Even Li Yue had to admire Xu Anyuan's wit. All the coordination was too perfect. In this way, the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord would not suspect the true nature of the Seven Star Ghost Emperor. This would make the plan go more smoothly.
"Childe Xu Anyuan is indeed extraordinarily intelligent. He was able to come up with such a plan under such circumstances. No wonder the Hundred Saints Brand acknowledged him."
The journey was smooth. The Seven Star Ghost Emperor pulled Xu Anyuan and Li Yue away, leaving the three behind to eat the dust. They were trembling with fear, not knowing what the consequences would be. Now, they could only pray.
Soon, they arrived at the Ghost Palace of Ghost Lord Jiu Gong. That heavy door slowly opened, letting out a loud rumble. It was obvious that Ghost Lord Jiu Gong was in seclusion just now. That was why they had the guts to do such a thing.
The Seven Star Ghost Emperor dragged Xu Anyuan and Li Yue forward and said coldly, "The two of you better behave yourselves later.
"The two of you better behave yourselves later. The strength of the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord is thousands of times stronger than mine. With a flick of his finger, the two of you will all die. So, don't look for trouble. Otherwise, no one will be able to save the two of you. Serve the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord well, and you might be able to obtain a great fortune. Whether it's a blessing or a curse will depend on your fortune."
Both Xu Anyuan and Li Yue looked very frightened and did not dare to act rashly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven-star Ghost Emperor led them into the main hall. Along the way, ghostly fires flickered, making it look particularly eerie. In each ghostly fire, there were tens of millions of distorted faces, and their blood-curdling screams could be heard.
"Give me back my life..."
"I don't want to die. Let me out."
"It's so painful. Just kill me..."
Xu Anyuan frowned, and Li Yue was even more furious. Among them were the souls of humans, demons, and demons. This type of ghostly fire was called the Soul Guiding Lamp. It had the power to guide souls, thinking that they had found a home. However, it was actually hell. There were many of them, and it was even more beneficial for people like the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord to cultivate. There were thousands of such Soul Guiding Lamps, and many of them had died.
"I still have a mission to complete. I want to go back to the Li Yue Chamber of Commerce. Let me go..."
"I've painstakingly prepared for ten years just to pass the imperial examinations and amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. I can't accept this..."
There were all kinds of voices. Some were transmitted through real see-through vision, and some were formed from extremely strong willpower. One needed to calm down and experience it to know what they wanted to express.
"This Nine Palaces Ghost Lord is indeed a hateful person..." Just as Xu Anyuan was feeling emotional, a voice came.
"Heh heh, Seven Star, you're back again. What good stuff did you bring me this time? Let me have a good look at it. "
"This time, I brought two living people to the Ghost Lord. Each of them is a treasure vault..." The Seven Star Ghost Emperor recounted everything that had happened along the way to the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord. Of course, to a large extent, his description of Xu Anyuan's strength was greatly weakened.
"Haha, well done, well done. Seven Star, do you know why I'm so good to you?" A figure walked out from the illumination of countless ghostly fires. His face was old, and his eyes carried an ancient aura of the vicissitudes of life.
"I don't know..." The Seven Star Ghost Emperor bowed and said, "That's because your father is also a Ghost Lord.
"That's because of your father. Of course, he's also a Spirit Lord. It's just that he left this place after he died. You're his only flesh and blood, so I naturally have to do my best to accompany you."
The Seven Star Ghost Emperor felt as though he had been pardoned. He kowtowed repeatedly to the Nine Palaces Ghost Lord, extremely excited.
"Alright, get up. Let me examine these two kids and see what treasures they have on them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large handprint grabbed at Xu Anyuan!
