As they turned around, the two girls saw a pale figure standing behind them, its face indiscernible except for the cracked wide mouth from which eerie white smoke wafted.
A ghost!
Feng Ruoyu swung her long sword, and a nearly transparent battle qi surged out of the sword, slashing towards the ghost to kill it. anwhile, Huo Siqin raised her magic wand and began chanting an incantation.
But just then, two strange forces instantly seized their necks, suspending them in mid-air. In an instant, their energy was completely suppressed.
Before this ghost, they had no ability to fight back at all. In a blink of an eye, they were pushed to the brink. The translucent battle qi blade that Feng Ruoyu had slashed was stopped in its tracks by the ghost with a raised hand.
The qi that can generate spatial attacks reminds of soone, the ghost suddenly spoke.
A talking ghost? Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin realized simultaneously, this wasnt an ordinary ghost.
Youve got it wrong, I am a ghost, the ghost seed to perceive their thoughts and spoke again. After it finished speaking, both girls floated down from mid-air, although their energy remained suppressed.
You youre a Ghost King? Feng Ruoyu trembled, for only a Ghost King could speak, and a Ghost King was at least a Heaven-grade powerhouse, capable of tearing them apart with a breath.
Ghost King gahaha the ghost laughed with a piercing voice, but it was unclear why it found it amusing.
Why arent you killing us? Huo Siqin asked with a trembling voice, glancing at the horrifying corpse of the academy girl hanging in mid-air.
Why should I kill you? the ghost retorted.
The two girls fell silent. In their impression, undead beings would launch attacks upon encountering the living, and wasnt the corpse hanging there proof of that?
Undead are undead, and ghosts are ghosts. How can you compare those low-level things with us? The ghost seed displeased.
The two girls looked at each other, montarily forgetting their fear. What was going on? Wasnt a ghost just a type of undead?
What you call ghosts are actually lost souls. True ghosts, as we define them, are sentient beings naturally ford in the Netherworld. Only those with spirituality can be called ghosts. However, over the years, everyone here has confused it all and mistakenly regarded ghosts as those low-level undead souls. The ghost explained.
Ghosts are living beings from the Netherworld? Then, the ghost in front of them
Thats right, I am a remnant ghost from the war of the gods hundred thousand years ago. The ghost straightforwardly answered the thoughts in the two girls minds.
If you dont randomly kill people, why did you kill this student up there? Feng Ruoyu pointed to the female corpse on top.
Hahaha, shes not just a simple academy student. She is from the Temple, the ghost replied.
The Light Temple or the Temple of Life? Feng Ruoyus heart trembled as she asked.
Neither, the ghost said but offered no further explanation.
Why did you tell us so much? Huo Siqin asked.
Dont worry, your identities are special. I wont kill you. However, you should know that spending a hundred thousand years alone is incredibly lonely. So, I told you, but you wont rember it later, just like those academy students before. They only vaguely rember seeing a ghost but can never recall what I told them. The ghost explained.
Feng Ruoyu remained silent for a mont. They couldnt struggle, but if they could keep their lives, that was good enough. In that case, it was natural to have doubts and ask questions, even if they wouldnt rember later. So she asked, How are our identities special?
Hahaha, both of you have an intimate connection with a certain person, and that person has a great connection with , the ghost answered with a smile.
Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin exchanged glances. They only t in the Sunset Royal City. So, was this person related to the Sunset Royal City? They began recalling everyone they knew in Falling Sunset Kingdom, but it seed that none of them had an intimate connection.
Dont bother thinking about it; hes here now, the ghost said again.
Ah!
The two girls looked around, but there was no one else in the room.
Co out. A large part of what I said to them was actually ant for you, the ghost said.
At that mont, a figure appeared mysteriously. The person was cloaked in a black robe, resembling a black ghost.
Thats right, the figure was Qi Bei. He had originally co to find the person ntioned by Old Kurt but unexpectedly saw Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin sneaking into the back mountain. He had been following them all along.
Now, Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin sized up Qi Bei. Was this the person whom the ghost had ntioned had an intimate connection with them? However, Qi Bei was shrouded in the black robe, concealing his aura. It was difficult to discern anything about him.
Intimate Huo Siqins heart trembled suddenly, and she couldnt help but call out, Is is it you?
Although it was abrupt, Qi Bei still understood. He chuckled softly, Its .
Brother Qi Bei Feng Ruoyus voice trembled with excitent as she couldnt hold back her tears.
Qi Bei removed his hood, revealing his face wearing the magical mask.
Both girls paused simultaneously. Wait, sothings not right!
Qi Bei then took off the magical mask, revealing his handso face.
Brother Qi Bei, its really you, Feng Ruoyu, with tears in her eyes, rushed over and threw herself into his arms instantly.
In that instant, Huo Siqin understood. So, this was the true appearance of the big-bearded man. He was truly handso. She also learned that the big-bearded mans na was Qi Bei.
Qi Bei. Huo Siqin repeated the na in her mind and uncontrollably walked over to his side.
After putting down Feng Ruoyu, Qi Bei embraced Huo Siqin.
Brother Qi Bei, so you and Siqin Feng Ruoyu pouted. She hadnt even had her chance, and now she felt like she had been left out. But she quickly rembered sothing more important and asked again, Brother Qi Bei, werent you the lord of the West Spirit City? How did you end up here?
Werent you in the Golden Fortress City? How did you beco a student in the Falling Sunset Kingdom? Qi Bei laughed and asked.
It was arranged by my father. I dont know why either. You still havent answered my question, Feng Ruoyu said.
Just then, the ghost spoke, Even if he told you, you wouldnt rember. Dont waste your ti.
Feng Ruoyu and Huo Siqin looked at the ghost and shook their heads in unison. They didnt want to forget seeing Qi Bei, as it was the most important mont in their lives.
But the ghost didnt give them a chance to speak again. With a wave of its hand, both girls suddenly fell unconscious, each falling into Qi Beis embrace.
The person the patriarch asked to find seems to not be you, Qi Bei looked at the ghost and furrowed his brow.
Yes, and no. Kurt must have wanted you to find Academy Principal Mo Fang, but I control Mo Fangs body. Do you understand now? the ghost said.
Qi Bei nodded, understanding what was going on. However, he couldnt comprehend why the patriarch would ask him to find a ghost from the Netherworld?
Take these two students back and then co back, the ghost said.
Qi Bei discreetly took the two girls back to their dormitory and quickly returned.
Follow , the ghost said when it saw Qi Bei return and disappeared into the secret passage.
Qi Bei followed, and soon they arrived at an underground laboratory.
However, the laboratory was completely shrouded in a nearly tangible white mist, giving off a chilling sensation that seed to invade ones soul.
Qi Beis internal energy surged, forming a faint golden radiance on the surface, resisting the cold sensation.
Your soul is powerful. What you mainly cultivate isnt battle qi. Hmm, your aura carries the aura of a dragon, no, its even purer and more terrifying than a real dragon, the ghost glanced at Qi Bei and spoke.
After speaking, the ghost waved its hand, and the white mist in front quickly dispersed, revealing two objects resembling water tanks. The ghost entered one of them and gestured for Qi Bei to enter the other.
Without hesitation, Qi Bei jumped into the tank. He understood that with the ghosts thods, there was no need to play any tricks.
As soon as he entered, Qi Bei felt a suprely pure energy surrounding him. It was so comfortable that he couldnt help but moan, and his pores opened wide, greedily absorbing this pure energy.
At that mont, Xiao Zi in Qi Beis arms also erged. It had grown even bigger than before, with shiny purple feathers and a cluster of white flowers on its head, like the finishing touch that added spirituality to Xiao Zi.
Thunderbird No, it has the soul of a Thunder Phoenix. It will be extraordinary when it grows up, the ghost exclaid, glancing at Xiao Zi in surprise.
Thunder Phoenix? Qi Bei raised an eyebrow.
However, the ghost remained silent and didnt speak further.
Qi Bei had many doubts in his mind, but he knew he couldnt be impatient. If the ghost wanted to speak, it would naturally tell him. If it didnt want to speak, he believed he couldnt force it. So, he cald his mind and began cultivating in the midst of this suprely pure energy.
After an unknown amount of ti, the energy flowing into Qi Beis dantian suddenly beca frenzied, and the two battle qi pills in his middle dantian started to tremble.
Its ti to form the third pill, Qi Bei was no longer unfamiliar with this state, so he remained calm. Sure enough, shortly after, beside the two existing pills, a new pill took shape. Three qi pills represented that Qi Bei had reached the pinnacle of a King-grade warrior.
But just then, in his middle dantian, another pill began to condense.
Could it be that Im about to break through to the Earth-grade? Qi Bei wondered, but why didnt he feel the breakthrough?
Before long, the fourth pill nucleus took shape. Qi Bei sensed it and realized that his battle qi strength was approaching the level of an Earth-grade warrior. But why hadnt he experienced a breakthrough?
According to reason, with the formation of the fourth pill, he should have broken through to the realm of an Earth-grade warrior.
