But what Gao Yuhan had not expected was for the entire skeleton army to suddenly stop moving, every bone in their bodies trembling.
"Ah, an Ancestral Returner."
A voice suddenly came from the shadows as well, carrying a trace of age and excitement.
"Has someone from the Gao Family finally undergone Ancestral Return?"
"Heaven bless the Gao Family!"
The shadows grew excited one after another, shouting all kinds of things.
The thousand skeletons swayed violently too. They seemed even more excited than the shadows, spinning madly in place one after another and completely ignoring Gao Yuhan's earlier order to attack.
Gao Yuhan flew into a rage and shouted, "What Ancestral Return? Kill them! Skeleton army, hurry up and kill them!"
Yet to Gao Yuhan's surprise, not only did the skeleton army fail to advance, they instead surrounded Gao Shaohui. Their jawbones chattered up and down as though they wanted to speak, but all they could produce were clicking sounds.
Gao Shaohui was stunned, and Gao Manqiu was dumbfounded as well. What was going on?
These skeletons seemed incredibly excited, as if they had just seen their own son!
Gao Yuhan was still yelling at the side, but the skeletons completely ignored him. They all crowded around Gao Shaohui, chattering away as clusters of dark green Nether Fire drifted about. Rather than seeming eerie or sinister, it somehow gave off a sense of warmth.
Gao Shaohui found the feeling strange. Following his instincts, he reached out and stroked the face of a nearby skeleton.
The skeleton's body trembled. Green sparks suddenly poured from the sockets embedded with Ghost Fire, making soft popping sounds as the flames spilled out, extinguishing themselves only to keep spilling forth.
Then the other skeletons did the same. Green Ghost Fire kept bubbling from their eye sockets
