"Because I'm back."
As soon as these words left her mouth, the hazy silver halos around her morphed into streaks of dazzling silver light that instantly merged into Bai Gu's body.
The fact that the Nether River was flowing again meant that Bai Gu had become a ghoul king, and could now carry more power.
In the blink of an eye, there were no more obstacles in front of Jiang Xingwen and the five ghoul kings.
Bai Gu's tiny body was blocking the crack in the stone behind them. Its emerald eyes were filled with arrogance and indifference, which was completely different from before. "If any of you come here in your true forms, I'll take it as a challenge."
His gaze swept across the soul shadows of Chuling, Black Cane, Thousand Tribulation, Frigid Depths, and Rahu.
The five Ghost Kings were strangely silent.
That was because the aura Bai Gu exuded at this moment was at the level of a true ghoul king.
The fact that Bai Gu dared to speak to the former ruler of the Land of Terror in such an arrogant tone meant that even the current Nether Capital was no match for it in its eyes.
If it didn't fear the Nether Capital, how could it possibly fear anything else?
"You're indeed the only one who can truly match me, Youling." The Nether Capital ghoul king's hoarse voice echoed out from within the Soul Crossing River. "We should have fought in the Land of Terror back then."
"I probably couldn't have defeated you back then." Bai Gu pondered for a moment before pointing behind him. "With that body, I wouldn't have been a match for you in the Land of Terror even if I became a ghoul king. I know you too well. You were born from the source of the yin meridians. No Specter in the Land of Terror could have defeated you. "
With these words, he pointed at his sparkling, bony body.
"I carefully selected and refined this body in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons. Only with this body and my advancement to a ghoul king in the Land of Terror will I be able to defeat you.
"And all of you."
He pointed at all of the ghoul kings behind Jiang Xingwen, including Rahu.
Frigid Depths let out a cold harrumph. "How arrogant of you, Bai Gu!"
With a derisive laugh, white flames suddenly ignited at the tip of one of its fingers. "Is this what the Frigid Depths does? Allying with Xuantianzong and letting Cao Jiaze do whatever he wants in my domain?"
As soon as the white flames filled with a holy aura took shape, all of the ghosts present felt as if their souls were about to be torn apart.
Whoosh!
A cluster of white flames flew into the Cold Abyss Ghost King's illusory tombstone, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
The icy tombstone immediately started burning.
Sitting on top of the tombstone, the Cold Abyss Ghost King's wisp of soul awareness attempted to spread out his frost soul awareness. However, he discovered that every wisp of his soul awareness would be ignited the moment it got close to the icy tombstone.
The tombstone that the Frigid Abyss Ghost King had manifested and condensed of frigid power rapidly melted.
It didn't take long for a small part of the Cold Abyss Ghost King's soul to burn out.
"I'm here, waiting for you to drag that tombstone over," White Bones said indifferently.
"Alright!" Cold Abyss Ghost King replied.
"The same goes for you."
White Bones looked at the soul shadows of the other four ghostly kings floating in front of him.
Chuling smiled bitterly. Thousand Tribulations and Black Scepter remained silent. Luo Hou had a complicated expression on her face.
"Yu Yuan is condensing his nether soul in the Nether Capital," White Bones said casually. "If he can release that man's sword incantation, you'll be in an even more passive position. If my guess is correct, the reason why you've been hiding in the Soul Crossing River for so many years is because you still haven't fully digested that man's sword power, right?
"If he can activate the remaining sword power in his sword intent, he'll be able to inflict serious damage on you. Is that true?"
White Bones stared at the belt.
This time, the Mingdu Ghost King in the "Soul Crossing River" did not reply immediately.
Chuling asked in astonishment, "My lord, how long has it been?"
"You really do know everything, Youling." After a while, the Nether Capital Ghost King let out a sigh. "It wasn't easy for me to escape from that man's sword. How could I have done it without paying a heavy price? You're right. The reason I can't leave the Soul Crossing River is because I haven't fully digested the sword power. "
"If that's the case, then why are you still here?" White Bones' eyes flashed with disdain. "You know who I am, and you've seen me become a ghostly king. With your understanding of me, what do you think you can do in your current state?" "Fine.
I'll come back later, "the Nether Capital Ghost King snorted.
Whoosh!
The belt wrapped around Jiang Xingwen's body again. As she screamed in terror, she was taken away by the Soul Crossing River and disappeared.
"White Bones, she …?" Luo Hou asked softly.
"She can help the Nether Capital digest the remaining sword power." White Bones looked at Luo Hou, hesitated, and said, "For Yu Yuan's sake, don't provoke me. I'll let bygones be bygones."
Luo Hou smiled bitterly.
"We've seen enough. You three, go back to where you came from," White Bones said coldly.
Chuling, Thousand Tribulations, and Black Staff didn't say a word. Their soul shadows gradually faded.
The soul power of the soul shadows was quietly flowing away. This meant that they were all withdrawing power.
Soon, only Luo Hou was left. He even split off a soul shadow to stay in this small space.
"Why didn't you open the small space behind earlier and let the power flow out?" Luo Hou hesitated and asked. "You could've become a ghostly king earlier."
She could see that White Bones had used the power of the hazy silver light to become a ghostly king, and then became like this.
White Bones had never lost his memories. He knew that his previous body was hidden behind, and that it was still full of "Yin Sunflower Essence" and vast, refined Yin energy.
If White Bones had opened the small space and gathered the power, he would've become a ghostly king long ago.
Why did he have to go through so much trouble to kill ghostly beings of the same rank?
He had almost been killed because of this. Why did he have to do this?
Luo Hou couldn't understand.
"If I can defeat you and become a ghostly king through that battle, it will be even more beneficial to me," White Bones' eyes were cold as he said indifferently. "I don't want to use the trump card I left behind in the past. With You Ling's remaining power, becoming a ghostly king was something I had no choice but to do. "
"I came back because I calculated that the Land of Terror would welcome an unprecedented prosperity. I came for the paramount ghostly god."
He didn't continue speaking.
Luo Hou fell into deep thought.
Behind White Bones, the Nether River of the Yin slowly flowed in the small space.
The tall and handsome You Ling Ghost King with a gentle aura was already submerged in the stream of the Nether River. A bit of the "Yin Sunflower Essence" accumulated in his body would occasionally fly out and flash into Yu Yuan's body.
Yu Yuan sat beside the flowing Nether River and silently cultivated.
The raccoon-shaped ghostly being shook and was the first to wake up.
It had successfully evolved and become a Heavenly Ghost. Its green eyes, the same color as White Bones', suddenly shone. It shouted in surprise, "Milord is here!"
Yuan Lianyao, who was not far away, opened her eyes and said in surprise, "What did you say?"
"Milord is outside. He's here." The raccoon-shaped ghostly being seemed very excited. "I-I want to go find milord!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, it went from the small space inside the small space to the outside world where White Bones and Luo Hou were.
"Milord! This subordinate sees you again! "
As soon as he saw Bai Gu, this loyal subordinate of Bai Gu's started to cry and wail. "Many of our companions were killed. Milord, you have to uphold justice for us. "
White Bones slowly nodded and said, "You did well."
