On the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Road, the Seventh Great Lord of the Ghost Ruins-the Skeleton Emperor-had been lured out by Wang Hu's family heirloom.
Yun Qing surveyed his surroundings again. Bones, bones, and more bones.
"Could this be his territory?"
Yun Qing's expression slowly turned peculiar. Surely it couldn't be that much of a coincidence? If he remembered correctly, that Great Lord seemed to be an "old acquaintance" of his Brother Huang.
Yun Jinglei leaned closer. "Eldest Brother, have you thought of something?"
Yun Qing rubbed his chin. "This might be an old acquaintance's territory. We should be able to have a friendly chat and get some information about the Ghost Realm."
Everyone: "?"
Yun Poxiao scratched his head and voiced everyone's thoughts. "Eldest Brother, you even have acquaintances in the Ghost Realm?!"
Every head whipped toward him.
Their surprise was understandable. After the Three Realms were cut off from one another, the immortal and mortal realms still maintained tenuous connections through the likes of the Great Xia Ancient Dynasty. The Ghost Realm was another matter entirely, drifting through unconventional space, out of alignment with Heavenly Origin year-round.
Even before the immortal and ghost realms had been severed, many old Immortal Venerables who had lived for tens of thousands of years had never set foot in the Ghost Realm.
Yun Jinglei's eyes lit up. "Eldest Brother, your circle of friends reaches that far?"
Remembering that pleasant encounter, Yun Qing smiled.
"You could say we're on speaking terms."
"How close are you?" Yun Tianluo raised an eyebrow, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
Yun Qing pondered.
That question wasn't easy to answer.
After all, strictly speaking, the one who truly had a "good relationship" with the Skeleton Emperor was Yun Huang.
As for just how "good" it was...
