"Baichuan congratulates the Heavenly Emperor!"
You Baichuan, the Patriarch of the Ghost Sect, could not help but salute.
Seeing this, everyone echoed.
"Shaobai congratulates the Heavenly Emperor!"
"Ji Le congratulates the Heavenly Emperor!"
…
Resounding congratulatory voices sounded between heaven and earth, making the Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor extremely happy.
"Hahahaha, everyone congratulates me!"
The Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor laughed loudly, then pressed his hand down, indicating for everyone to stop. He then turned to look at the Heavenly Empress Divine Phoenix, who was not far away, with an ugly expression.
"Heavenly Empress, since you are here, stay. Don't worry, I will definitely flatten the Divine Phoenix Mountain. No matter where they have escaped to, I will have a way to find them. After all, with their strength, if they are targeted by my Divine Consciousness, they will not have a chance to escape."
The Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor laughed strangely.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Empress Divine Phoenix's expression changed. The moment the Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor appeared, she knew that this matter would not be settled so easily.
Therefore, when the Divine Phoenix Mountain powerhouses retreated, she gave the order to seal the mountain and let everyone leave the Nine States immediately.
But now, it seemed that the Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor had long wanted to attack the Divine Phoenix Mountain.
However, this year, they had bumped into him.
As one of the strongest powerhouses in the Nine States, the Heavenly Empress Divine Phoenix naturally knew that the Ghost Clan had a special ability.
It could summon a ghost shadow.
This ghost shadow might not be strong, but the master who summoned it was the Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor. This was different.
If there were no accidents, the Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor had his ghost shadow follow the group of powerhouses from the Divine Phoenix Mountain the moment they left.
Not to mention that this ghost shadow could flatten the Divine Phoenix Mountain.
It would not be a problem just to report their location.
"Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor, we have worked hard to suppress the forbidden area and not let those inhumane and indifferent people come out to harm the world. But you have taken the initiative to create a forbidden area. Are you worthy of being the Nine States' Celestial Emperor?"
The Heavenly Empress Divine Phoenix shouted coldly.
Hearing this, the Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor laughed as if he had heard a great joke. "Heavenly Empress, how can someone like you be so childish?"
"What does the life and death of thousands of living beings have to do with us? They are nothing more than the lowliest ants in this world. Why do you have to fight for them? "
When the Heavenly Phoenix Empress heard this, she sneered and said, "Oh, they are ants. Are you born noble?"
The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "But I am now the Heavenly Emperor, the master of the Forbidden Lands."
"So, you want to be nobler than them and disregard their lives?" The Heavenly Empress Divine Phoenix's expression became more and more sarcastic.
The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor did not say anything, but his indifferent expression proved this point.
In his eyes, as long as he could achieve his goal, he wouldn't care even if he had to destroy the entire Nine Prefectures.
As long as he left some seeds behind, he would be able to recover sooner or later.
In the face of such a Soul-Devouring Ghost Emperor, the Heavenly Phoenix Empress was too lazy to say anything more. She coldly shouted, "You deserve to die."
"You can't decide whether I deserve to die or not. But whether your Divine Phoenix Mountain will be destroyed or not is up to me."
The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor said disapprovingly, "If you are willing to send that daughter of yours to me right now to become my concubine, my battle pet, and serve me, I can promise to spare your Divine Phoenix Mountain's bloodline. Furthermore, I will allow them to enter the underworld together with me. Heavenly Empress, what do you think?"
When the Heavenly Phoenix Empress heard this, her face turned cold and she slowly said, "Don't even think about it!"
"Then don't blame me for not showing mercy." The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor shook his head indifferently. Then, he looked at Prince Ji Le and Gu Shaobai and said, "I will leave Divine Phoenix Mountain to you. Can you deal with it?"
When they heard this, Gu Shaobai and Prince Ji Le's faces turned cold. They knew that they had to choose a side.
However, they had nothing to reject.
Because they knew that if they wanted to gain benefits, they had to show their worth.
"Yes, Emperor."
Gu Shaobai and Prince Ji Le nodded and cupped their fists. They were about to chase after the experts of Divine Phoenix Mountain.
However, at this moment, the Ghost Gate not far away suddenly shook.
Immediately after, the sky was filled with demonic, blood-red flowers that bloomed all over the sky.
A terrifying aura was slowly awakening in the Netherworld. It was like a wild beast that had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years had woken up from its slumber.
"This is …" The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor was shocked. He looked at the Ghost Gate in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
"Heavenly Emperor? How majestic … "
A sigh came from the Ghost Gate. Countless people's faces changed.
There was someone else in the Netherworld?
Even the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor was shocked. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He did not expect that there would be a living being in the Netherworld.
Could it be the Master of the Netherworld?
The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor's face turned pale. He stared at the Ghost Gate with the others and shouted, "Who are you?"
"Who am I?"
Hearing the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor's question, the existence in the Ghost Gate was stunned. Then, he laughed.
"I'm a person who deserves to die. I'm an existence that countless people hate. I'm an unlucky person who has been dead for tens of thousands of years. When I woke up, my soul was taken away."
An illusory figure stepped on the beautiful Hurricane Lilies. As he spoke, he walked out step by step.
He looked at the world in front of him and sighed. "Unfortunately, I didn't expect that I would still be alive."
Thinking of everything that had happened in the past, the illusory figure teared up.
"What a foolish girl. I used my entire life's strength in exchange for a chance at survival for her. Yet, in the end, she gave that chance to me."
"Tell me, am I not a failure as an older brother?" As the figure spoke, he looked at the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor.
Looking at him, the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor's face turned pale.
The figure was none other than Lin Tian, whose soul was taken away by the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor.
"How are you still alive?" The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor asked in disbelief.
He knew very well what kind of place the Yellow Springs was. That place was strong enough to erase the consciousness of any soul.
Even he did not dare to touch it.
He had thrown Lin Tian down there with his own hands. Logically speaking, Lin Tian should be dead.
The lifeless body in the sky was the best proof.
But now, Lin Tian just so happened to return.
The Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor could not accept this.
Hearing his question, Lin Tian laughed again. "Isn't this all thanks to you? Look at you. If you could have casually crushed me to death, wouldn't that have been great? Instead, you just had to show off your so-called emperor's might and throw me into the Yellow Springs with disdain."
"Thanks to you, I, Lin Tian, have returned. So, have you prepared how you want me to repay you?"
Lin Tian looked at the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor and said with a faint smile.
The moment his voice fell, the so-called ghost Qi in the sky was all swallowed by the Ghost Gate. The crack closed and the world became clear again. The sky was full of stars, clearly displayed in the sky.
Under the starry sky, there seemed to be only one person left.
That illusory figure in white.
"He's finally … back?" Even an existence like the Divine Phoenix Empress could not help but feel excited when she saw the peerless figure standing between heaven and earth. Her beautiful eyes were full of splendor.
