Chapter 2866: Chapter 2865: Guesswork
As for that jade-faced scholar, I could ask the Golden Nether Ghost Lord about him. Lu Xiaotian's divine sense stirred, and he entered the Green Fruit Barrier.
Finding the Golden Nether Ghost Lord's Primordial Spirit inside the Green Fruit Barrier was no trouble. He had been imprisoned there for some time and was bored out of his mind. The trace of fear he'd felt earlier had long since faded. As for Ye Qianxun, who was also inside the Green Fruit Barrier, Lu Xiaotian had no intention of letting them meet; if he didn't want them to cross paths, it would be all but impossible for them to do so.
"Pill King Lu, you've finally arrived. Have you decided what to do with me?" the Golden Nether Ghost Lord asked unhurriedly. Things had come to this, and his life was entirely in someone else's hands. Fear could no longer change his predicament, so his attitude had instead grown calm.
"I haven't decided yet." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. "I came this time to ask the Ghost Lord about a few things."
"With Pill King Lu holding the knife and me laid out on the chopping block, I hardly deserve to hear you call it asking for my advice." The Golden Nether Ghost Lord gave a self-deprecating smile.
"It seems the Ghost Lord isn't willing to speak," Lu Xiaotian said.
"The worst that can happen is death. I've already fallen into Pill King Lu's hands; I can only blame my own weakness." The Golden Nether Ghost Lord's tone held not a trace of emotion.
"Among my enemies, there were others in much the same situation as you. Later, I brought them here, then released their Primordial Spirits. Would the Ghost Lord like to make the same deal?"
