Chapter 1594: Secret Pact

out retreating.Seven men fought and retreated, Hei Yuan's massive physique unaware that a trap had been set ahead.On the side of Lord Phoenix, cultivators were nervously eyeing the unfolding battle."O...With the Purple Crocodile Ghost King injured by the eighteen golden men, Lu Xiaoteng and Xiang Qingcheng felt a little more at ease. After all, the Purple Crocodile Ghost King's strength was overwhelming, seemingly unmatched. Fortunately, there were still the eighteen golden men left by Emperor Qinling to restrain him.

"Lu Xiaoyou is right, the Purple Crocodile Ghost King most likely obtained a more ancient lineage, with many and bizarre methods. We must not give him any breathing room," Xiang Huaxin nodded in deep agreement. As an old monster who had cultivated for over a thousand years, he was naturally a ruthless person. Lu Xiaotiao's decisiveness was quite to his liking. As for these eighteen golden men, Xiang Huaxin also coveted them deeply.

It's just that Lu Xiaoteng and Xiang Qingcheng always kept a subtle distance from him. He didn't say he hadn't thought about it for the time being, even if he had any bad thoughts and wanted to make a hasty move, it would probably be ineffective. Once the other party came to their senses, if they couldn't kill with one blow, even the Purple Crocodile Demon King was injured under the eighteen golden men, and the previously seriously injured One-Eyed Demon Man was directly killed. If it were him, he would naturally not escape being killed.

Even now, Xiang Huaxin doubted whether the dragon essence that Lu Xiaoteng had absorbed using dragon bones was truly taken away by someone. Perhaps the truth wasn't as simple as Lu Xiaoteng said. Xiang Huaxin couldn't help but smile wryly. This was the first time he felt so powerless in front of a nascent soul cultivator. In the midst of wind and snow, Dong Fangyi shot out large snowflakes with her hand, like blades, swirling through the air, accompanied by a terrifying shriek, battling Luo Zhongting fiercely.

At this moment, a ghostly aura surged out from the ice cave. It was the Purple Crocodile Ghost King who had fled. Luo Zhongting stared at the Purple Crocodile Ghost King with astonishment, "Daoist Purple Crocodile, you were actually defeated by those little ones."

“The eighteen golden men left behind by the Emperor of Qinling are indeed extraordinary, but it's too early to talk about victory or defeat. After I return, there will be other ways.” Zi'ao Ghost King covered his chest and didn't stay for long, turning into a black light and disappearing into the distance.

Just shortly after the Purple Crocodile Ghost King left, Lu Xiaoteng, Xiang Qingcheng, and Xiang Huxin also emerged from the ice cave.

Lu Zhongting retracted his hand and flew backward, creating distance between himself and Dongfang Yi. He looked at Lu Xiaotian and said, "I didn't expect you guys to actually have the ability to turn things around."

“Luo Senior, would you like a path to the end” Lu Xiaotian said bluntly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Though he has won this round for now, the Purple Crocodile Demon King wouldn't have only this much ability. It's still too early to say who will win or lose.” Luo Zhongting shook his head and smiled.

“Since you've already switched to studying the Ghost Dao, but Ping’er is still a human, could it be that you also want Ping’er to become like you” Xiang Qingcheng frowned. She had spent some time with Luo Ping’er, and their relationship was quite good. Naturally, she didn't want Luo Ping’er to practice such strange Ghost Dao.

“As for Ping’er’s matter, it’s still too early to say. Don't think that just because we won this round, it will be over for good. We’ll talk about everything else later. See you next time.” Luo Zhongting shook his head, his golden robe rustling in the wind. His voice lingered in the air as he vanished from everyone’s sight.

"Thanks for your help twice. Would you like to go back with us and discuss how to deal with the ghost clan" Lu Xia Tian looked at Dong Fang Yi's familiar yet unfamiliar face, feeling a mixture of emotion in his heart. He wondered what had happened to Dong Fang Nian these years.

"No need, we will attack the Ghost Clan and Demon Clan. The Monster Clan will assist from the side. Farewell!" Dongfang Yi had no intention of lingering. Like a snowflake scattering in the wind, Dongfang Yi was already gone.

Let's go back too.

While the others were still on their way back, Zi'ao Ghost King had already taken the lead and returned to a mountain ridge where bones littered the ground and was guarded by an army of ghosts.

"My Lord Ghost King!" The green-armored skeleton and Su Qing both bowed to the Purple Crocodile Ghost King.

"How is everything going" The Purple Crocodile Ghost King raised his hand and asked bluntly.

“Currently proceeding as planned, absorbing sufficient ghoul energy. Progress is normal.” The green-armored skeleton stated.

"The head of the Hao Yin Ghost Corpse had also absorbed about half of the ghost qi." Su Qing said.

"Not bad, it's barely usable. However, there have been some complications, so we might need to launch it earlier." Zi Aoguijun pondered for a moment, then with a wave of his hand, he sent four ghost-qi shrouded banners to Su Qing and the Green Armored Skeleton.

“The Ghost Lord actually gave us the Annihilation of Immortals Ghostly Array Banner” The green-armored skeleton said with a look of utmost trepidation.

"I am merely lending this to you temporarily; in the future, I will naturally reclaim it." The Purple Crocodile Ghost King smiled calmly. "When opening the Ghost Origin Gate, there might be a fierce battle. At that time, I might need your help controlling the power of the formations. After success, when the Ghost Origin Gate opens, I will take you two into the true Ghost Domain."

"Thank you, Ghost King." The green-armored skeleton and Su Qing simultaneously bowed in gratitude.

“Get out.” Watching the Green-Clad Skeleton and Su Qing leave, his face suddenly turned gloomy. This Yuan Gui Sha Array Flag was crafted by him after tremendous effort. Even if these two little guys wanted to claim this formation for themselves, within a incense stick's time, he could regain possession of the flag. After all, it was his own hands that forged and completed the flag, with unique restrictions planted by the Purple Crocodile Ghost King inside.

"The Heavenly Ghost King, the Ghost Monarch entrusted us with something quite formidable: the Annihilating Immortal Fiend Formation. It's not to be trifled with, requiring a substantial amount of ghostly energy from between heaven and earth to power its formation. The amount of ghost qi involved is no small matter. With nothing else pressing, why don't we sit down and carefully discuss how to proceed" After leaving the peak where the Purple Crocodile Ghost Monarch resided, the green-armored skeleton suddenly stopped Su Qing, who was about to leave.

"What's there to discuss We all work for the Ghost King. Just do what he says," Su Qing said coldly.

"You always have to keep a backup plan. I think this trip to the Ghost King's ice cave won't be as smooth as we hoped. He seems to be injured. If he were at his peak and opened the Ghost Realm Gate, maybe we could hitch a ride with him to the real Ghost Domain. But now he's injured, aren't you worried that when the Ghost King is desperate, he'll abandon us two" The Green-Armored Skeleton chuckled.

"What do you mean, daring to betray the Ghost King." Su Qing's body suddenly stiffened, her eye sockets' flickering flames stared intensely at the green-armored skeleton.

“You know what I mean. You just want to leave this realm.” The green-armored skeleton crossed its arms. “Don’t you”

"With your abilities, you dare to scheme The Ghost King can obliterate you with a snap of his fingers. Besides, do you really think this flag can truly control the heart" Su Qing snorted coldly.

“The juice of the Soulfruit inside, when it's crucial, sprinkle it on the battle flag. Besides directly touching the flag, anyone who tries to control it with their soul essence will have their soul essence obstructed by this juice. It can only be used once, make good use of it.” As soon as the Green-armored Skeleton heard this, he knew Su Qing had actually agreed. He immediately threw a bone ring to Su Qing.

Su Qing took the bone amulet and turned to leave without looking back. The green-armored skeleton's eyes gleamed with a triumphant smile.
