After the battle to seize the Mysterious Monster, the Ghost Master had made inquiries time and again. With his bizarre form and unparalleled tracking skills, he still hadn't found the slightest trace of Xia Zimo.

Who could have guessed that, just as he was searching through Beichen's memories, Xia Zimo's strikingly beautiful face would suddenly appear?

The shock was immense. He was so overjoyed that he nearly failed to suppress the counterattack from Beichen's consciousness, which he had driven into a corner. Even after entering to meet Jiuru, he still couldn't fully contain his delight. It showed at the corners of his brows, allowing Jiuru to see through him.

In his panic, he had fobbed Jiuru off with news that Xu Yi had been found.

All he could think about was waiting for Jiuru to detonate Xu Yi, then finding a chance to trick Xia Zimo into coming out so he could capture the Mysterious Monster.

Who could have known that, before he had even seen the Mysterious Monster's true form, Jiuru would strike him like a bolt from the blue?

He had practically forced himself to keep his composure to hold back his roar. Bowing his head and hiding his fury, he said, "Guanyin Bi's situation is special. She hasn't been trained yet, and if I send her into the palace in such haste, I fear I'll ruin the important matter."
