Chapter 232
A hundred li away from the Ghost Controlling Sect.
When the Ghost Ancestor led the sect’s powerhouses and hundreds of spirit boats to this place, the sky was already filled with ghosts and specters.
Each ghost and specter was baring its teeth and claws with crimson eyes.
The ghostly qi gathered by tens of thousands of ghosts and specters formed clouds that covered the sun and obscured the sunlight, plunging everything into darkness.
In front of the myriad ghosts, there were a hundred who had condensed ghost bodies, with strong ghostly qi, led by the ghost master Su E and her ghost generals.
Beside Su E was a four-tailed ghost fox.
Witnessing the spectacular scene, the Ghost Ancestor laughed.
“Ancestor, this Su E truly lives up to her name as the Abyssal Ghost Master. Such a scene and such momentum… It’s really spectacular!” Supreme Great Elder Han Kun exclaimed.
“A myriad of ghosts emerging from the abyss and obscuring the sky! Such a scene is indeed rare to see in a thousand years,” another elder commented.
Hearing this, the rest of the Supreme Elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect all nodded their heads.They felt very confident.
In the beginning, they were somewhat uncertain in their hearts.
After all, Jiuyan Old Ancestors’ pressure dominated the Central Domain.
But looking at the strength and formation of the Ghostly Soul Abyss, it was not inferior to a first-class sect at all!
It was a wise choice for the Ghost Controlling Sect to join forces with them.
At this moment, the two parties were facing each other across several miles.
Glancing at Su E, another Supreme Elder said: “Ancestor, why do I feel that Su E looks displeased?”
“You know nothing!”
Before the Ghost Ancestor could reply, Han Kun interjected: “Have you ever seen a ghost with a good complexion? Ghosts are inherently cold, do you expect them to greet you with a smile?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His words once again received the approval of the other Supreme Elders.
The Ghost Ancestor nodded in agreement and said: “Our sect also has some enmity with the Ghost Abyss, and this alliance is only temporary, so naturally, they won’t appear too enthusiastic.”
“Let it be, since it was our Ghost Sect that proposed the alliance, we should show some tolerance for ghosts. I’ll go and greet them,” she said after some thought.
With that, the Ghost Ancestor instantly floated several li to approach Su E.
“Fellow Daoist is truly worthy of being the Abyssal Ghost Master, with a myriad of ghosts emerging from the abyss and obscuring the sky, the scene is quite spectacular!” she complimented.
“…”
Su E was silent, seemingly deep in thought.
“Are you worried about Jiuyan Old Ancestor?” The Ghost Ancestor asked with a light smile.
“Together, our strength is enough to sweep the entire Central Domain! Jiuyan Old Ancestor is only in a soul state, and although powerful, is not at his peak.”
“…”
Su E still did not reply.
This made the Ghost Ancestor frown and she asked again: “Do you have other concerns?”
“…Indeed, I have concerns. Come closer, and I will whisper them to you,” Su E finally responded.
The Ghost Ancestor, immediately floated to her side without any suspicion.
“My concern…”
Su E, with a sneer, suddenly shouted: “Is you, you old hag!!”
As she spoke, she had already struck out with her palm! A simple palm strike, yet it contained all the might of the Nirvana realm, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
“!!!”
The Ghost Ancestor was immediately shocked. But the two were too close, and in a situation of the unexpected against the unprepared, she could not avoid the strike and had to take it with her physical body.
Upon contact, a “boom!” sound and a visible shockwave erupted for li.
Under the shockwave, the lower-cultivation ghosts and cultivators exploded.
The resulting roar was like thunder from the ninth heaven, making one’s heart tremble.
After the shockwave dissipated, the Ghost Ancestor, having taken Su E’s full-force blow head-on, although not life-threatening, was pale and staggering.
“Too shameless!” the Ghost Ancestor shouted loudly.
To this, Su E just sneered.
She was a ghost, not a human. Whether she had face or not, did not affect the essence of being a ghost.
Seeing that the first strike did not hit, Su E did not waste words, turned her palm into a claw, and struck again at the Ghost Ancestor.
At the same time, over a hundred ghost generals moved, surrounding the Ghost Ancestor and then surged forward.
Under normal circumstances, these ghost generals were like ants to the Ghost Ancestor.
But at this moment, she was injured and had to face Su E’s full-force attack, so for the time being, she could do nothing against these ghost generals and could only tiredly respond.
Soon, Su E struck the Ghost Ancestor again, knocking her directly from the sky and raising a cloud of dust and debris.
“Cough, cough!”
As the dust settled, the Ghost Ancestor kept coughing.
Everything happened so fast, the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect were dumbfounded.
They couldn’t understand what was going on at all. Weren’t they allies?
Why was their Ancestor suddenly being ganged up on?
“How dare you!!”
Han Kun was the first to react, wielding his spiritual weapon, ready to step forward to support.
Seeing this, the other Supreme Elders also quickly took action.
But they had barely taken a step when
“Wait!” Su E raised her hand to stop them.
“Let’s talk first!”
Talk?
Upon hearing this, the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect were on the verge of exploding.
Why didn’t they talk before taking action?
Now that our own Old Ancestor is almost beaten to the point of spitting blood, what’s there to talk about!?
What they don’t know is that Su E took the initiative to strike first in order to increase her chances of winning.
At this moment, with the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor injured, Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss holds an absolute advantage, so naturally, there can be a discussion.
Regardless, the Ghost Controlling Sect is enraged, seemingly ready to go all out in a desperate fight.
Han Kun and other Supreme Elders, wielding various spiritual weapons, rushed out, and hundreds of spirit boats were also equipped with all kinds of spirit cannons.
“Hmph!” Su E scoffed with disdain.
Her voice, carrying her breath, came out like a divine pressure from above, immediately causing Han Kun and others to feel a stagnation in their bodies and blood flow.
At this moment, the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect finally understood a reality.
In front of someone in the late stages of Nirvana, even if they all attacked together, they were just delivering themselves to their doom.
“Su E!!” The Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor suddenly shouted loudly, leaping into the air from the ground.
Her breath was disordered, and a trace of fresh blood hung from the corner of her mouth, she said in disbelief, “Although there is enmity between the Ghost Sect and Ghost Abyss, with Jiuyan Sect as the formidable enemy before us, why do you turn against us?!”
“For one person,” Su E replied instantly.
“Who?”
“Jiang Chen!”
“…”
The Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor fell silent, her mouth twitching.
She had never dreamed, nor could she understand, why Jiang Chen’s name would appear here?
She couldn’t help but speculate. Could it be that Jiang Chen had colluded with Su E from the beginning with the purpose of dealing with the Ghost Controlling Sect?
If that was the case…
With that thought, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor.
If it was really so, then she could only fight to the death!
Sensing her thoughts, Su E bluntly said, “I have already stated during our alliance that I want one person! And that person is Jiang Chen! Hand over Jiang Chen and our agreement still stands.”
“…”
Upon hearing this, the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect were speechless.
You want Jiang Chen, why didn’t you say so earlier!
They would have been more than happy to send that troublemaker away!
What should have been an extremely simple matter… why make it so complicated?
Now look what’s happened.
Their own Old Ancestor has been injured in a group beating, and now handing over Jiang Chen would be like admitting defeat.
Does the Ghost Controlling Sect’s face not matter anymore?
“Hand over Jiang Chen, and I will only take forty percent of Jiuyan Sect’s foundation!” Su E spoke again.
“This…”
The Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor was tempted.
After all, face is not as important as benefits.
“Fine, I will have the Supreme Elders of the sect bring Jiang Chen here!”
After some deliberation, the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor nodded. But as soon as she finished speaking, an elder from the Ghost Controlling Sect arrived under everyone’s watchful eyes.
After glancing at Su E, the elder secretly communicated with the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor, saying:
“Old Ancestor, it’s not good!”
“Jiang Chen has escaped! Xiao Hongyi and Chen Sheng are fighting with Elder Li at the sect!”
“Xiao Hongyi and Chen Sheng are both in the Divine Passage realm, and Elder Li is no match for them, so he had to use the sect’s grand formation to contend.”
“The aftermath of their battle has almost destroyed the Ghost Controlling Sect!”
“If this continues… our sect will eventually become ruins!”
