Ghost King lay on his back, staring blankly at the void and chaos above Nether Abyss.
He has lived for millions of years, fighting all the way from an unknown Cultivator to the Heaven-Wielding Realm, and thinks that he has stood on the pinnacle of the Primordial Realm.
But what he saw and heard today crushed his indestructible self-confidence to pieces.
Dao Demon, a tall middle-aged man, Underworld the master, Wusheng Dao Master, these three people are far more powerful than he imagined.
Even the weakest Dao Demon once almost destroyed the entire Primordial Realm. In their eyes, he was just an ant on the ground.
Ghost King's breathing became heavier and heavier. Everything that happened before was like a heavy hammer hitting his Dao Heart that had been polished by countless years.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world..."
After a while, Ghost King suddenly whispered.
He raised his hand and looked at the Demon Sword in his hand, and then remembered what Dao Demon said before leaving, "Qin Guan will be your Ancestor from now on."
Ghost King's mouth curved into an arc that was uglier than crying, "It turns out that I have been struggling for so long and have been fighting against someone who shouldn't be messed with..."
"Chasing Qin Guan... protecting Qin Guan..."
Ghost King's heart is filled with unwillingness and aggrievedness.
I have been struggling for so long just for Qi Yuan Civilization Legacy.
In the end, he had to do his best to protect Qin Guan Zhouquan. If Qin Guan had an accident, he would have to lose his life.
But he had no choice.
In the face of absolute power, all ambitions and calculations are a joke.
Thinking of this, Ghost King stood up from the ground, as if he had figured something out.
I was so shocked just now that I suddenly started laughing again:
"Think carefully about what I have gained today. Not only did I cure Dao Injury, I got a more perfect and powerful Nine Nether Art, but I also got this supreme Divine Weapon that I have been thinking about for countless years.
"Although I have been cursed by Dao Demon, as long as I obey and hug their lap, there is no harm in it. Maybe I can eat fat from them in the future."
Ghost King looked around and suddenly remembered that terrible Wusheng Dao Master.
Can't stay long!
He stopped staying any longer and turned into a dark shadow, disappearing into Nether Abyss Space Channel.
Two days later Eternal Night Ice Plain, the sky was full of wind and snow, and the endless polar night enveloped the earth.
Nine Nether Hall In the main hall, a group of Black Robe Elders lined up on both sides, all looking confused.
The polar night lasts for almost a month at a time, and this opportunity only occurs once in a hundred years. Why did I hear that Hall Master came out early in the morning, and said that there was an emergency and ordered them to gather here.
Just when everyone was confused, Ghost King stepped into the hall.
"Seen Hall Master!"
Seeing this, Elders quickly bowed and saluted.
Ghost King came to the top of the hall and sat down with a solemn expression.
Great Guardian Youying stepped forward, looked at Ghost King and asked puzzledly, "Hall Master, why did you come out so quickly?"
Ghost King raised his hand slightly. "I won't be able to tell for a while, but I am asking you to come here to inform you that all previous plans for Qin Guan are cancelled."
After saying this, the entire hall fell silent for an instant. All the elders in the hall were confused. Could it be that they had changed their strategy?
"From now on, Nine Nether Hall, stop all actions against Qin Guan, Primordial Tower."
Ghost King's voice was cold, and his eyes swept over Elders: "Not only are we not allowed to take action, in the future, whenever other forces want to harm Qin Guan, I, Nine Nether Hall, will also secretly stop them."
Elders was completely confused, everyone's eyes widened, completely unable to understand Hall Master's abnormal command.
Youying, who is not a protector of the law, couldn't help but said, "Hall Master, you... why are you doing this?"
"I can only tell you that Qin Guan is definitely not someone we Nine Nether Hall can offend. His background is unimaginably powerful."
There are some truths that he dare not reveal even a word.
After hearing Ghost King's words, everyone's expressions became solemn and complicated.
What is the background of Qin Guan that makes Hall Master take the initiative to give up Qi Yuan Civilization Legacy, and also take action to protect the other party.
"Hall Master, what should we do next?" Great Guardian Youying suddenly asked.
Ghost King was silent for a moment, tapping the armrest of the seat with his fingers:
"Send a Elder to Mandate Temple as an undercover agent, and keep an eye on Cang Chong's movements at all times. In addition, send a few more Elder to secretly guard Primordial Dojo. If other forces take action against Primordial Tower, find a way to disrupt the situation, and kill them secretly if necessary."
Great Guardian Youying frowned and asked again, "Hall Master, how should Heaven's Will Merchant Association explain it? We have received a lot of benefits from them."
Ghost King said nonchalantly, "Just find any reason to delay. When the agreed deadline is reached, just return the money to them."
Great Guardian Youying nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Ghost King looked at Elders in the hall with a majestic expression:
"Remember, you are not allowed to reveal a single word about our change of strategy, nor are you allowed to discuss it in private. If you let me know who dares to disobey you, you will die immediately!"
"It's Hall Master!"
Elders hurriedly replied in unison.
The hall became quiet again, and Elders looked at each other. Although there were countless questions in their hearts, Hall Master's attitude was already there.
No explanation, no discussion, just orders.
Ghost King looked at the faces with different expressions. He stood up and warned again, "Remember, Qin Guan's matters are Nine Nether Hall's top priority from now on, so go ahead and do them all!"
"As you command!"
Elders accepted the order in unison, and then quickly left the hall.
After everyone left, Great Guardian Youying came to Ghost King: "Hall Master, do you remember that four days ago, my subordinate reported to you that Demon Moon Divine Palace had a group of people break into our territory on the outside?"
Ghost King frowned and said, "Remember, what's wrong?"
Youying hurriedly replied, "Two days ago, that group of people hid in a cave outside to avoid the polar night. As a result, they were bumped into by Lie Hun and Ye Tian who were returning from a mission.
"The two of them coveted the beauty of eight Demon Moon Divine Palace women and wanted to do evil. In the end, I had to show up to stop them. Considering the previous plan, I did not kill them, but took them back and imprisoned them in the dungeon."
Hearing this, a flash of anger flashed in Ghost King's eyes. "These two losers really fail to accomplish anything and fail more than they do. They have cultivated to the Divine Ruins Realm and they still can't control themselves!"
Great Guardian Youying looked at Ghost King: "Hall Master, now the plan has changed, and that group of people knows where our base camp is, what should we do?"
"Now that we know our lair, we will naturally kill them all. It is the polar night right now, and Demon Moon Divine Palace can't find anything there. I will go into seclusion for a few days. You have full authority to handle matters in the palace."
"Understood."
Youying nodded and turned to leave.
After Youying left, Ghost King couldn't wait to leave the hall. He returned to the Cultivation Cave Mansion and quickly took out the Nine Nether Art that Dao Demon gave him.
On the other side, Youying came to the dungeon.
"Not good!"
Seeing that all the guards guarding the dungeon were killed and the cell where Nan Rou and the others were imprisoned was also broken open, Youying's expression changed drastically.
The powerful Divine Sense enveloped the entire Nine Nether Hall, and he quickly disappeared into the dungeon.
