"Master, are we really going to let him... name whatever price he wants?"
Watching Revered Netherworld Soul leave with the smug look of someone whose grin had nearly split his face, Lu Ze felt a surge of irritation.
"Do you take your master for a fool? Can't I tell that old fellow is trying to squeeze out more money?"
Nangong Yuan shot Lu Ze a glare.
Just now, Revered Netherworld Soul had used the excuse that "Lu Ze's Illusion Realm was unworthy of testing him" and put on a show of preparing to leave.
Spirit Cloud Sect had paid a hefty sum to hire him, yet he was leaving halfway through.
Not only would no one be left to teach the disciples below, but if word got out, it would damage the sect's reputation.
Nangong Yuan could only swallow the loss and raise the reward a little higher.
"Is he really the only one in the world who can do this?"
Lu Ze was puzzled.
"You foolish disciple, there are things you do not understand... This Ghost Calamity is far more unusual than the previous ones."
Nangong Yuan shook his head.
"In the Ghost Calamity in the north of the Immortal Abyss Continent, ghosts can easily pierce through the spiritual energy defenses of cultivators of the same rank and directly affect their minds..."
"At best, their legs tremble and fear takes root in their hearts. At worst, they lose their sanity outright and become bait for ghosts."
"Those above the Nascent Soul realm need not fear... after all, there are no ghosts that powerful. But Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment disciples must be on guard!"
At this point, Nangong Yuan sighed.
When their group of Elders dealt with ghosts, they believed in breaking cleverness with force.
What mind-tormenting tricks?
