Zanggui Daoist Lu Yuan’s eyes suddenly widened.
Behind him, countless ghosts fled in a panic, as if scared out of their wits, wailing without end.
Yes, that was it, exactly that feeling.
All the ghosts’ fear, rising from the depths of their hearts, fed straight back into Lu Yuan’s divine sea.
They were afraid.
When that man drew near, they wanted nothing more than a quick death.
With no ghosts left to block the way, the red figure drove a fist into Lu Yuan’s face.
He was sent flying.
Once distance opened up, the fleeing ghosts returned behind him again, but they did not fully merge back in.
They all shrank there, ready to bolt at any moment.
Zanggui Daoist Lu Yuan rose slowly, wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, and couldn’t help laughing.
What a colossal joke.
He had entered the Dao by cultivating the Ghost-Hiding Body; his inexhaustible host of ghosts was his greatest trump card.
Yet now these ghosts that had once been utterly obedient and immeasurably strong were scared off by some no-name brat.
Say that out loud and it would be the biggest joke under heaven.
But the more that was the case, the more interested Lu Yuan became in this kid.
Impossible to divine, ten thousand ghosts in dread.
A bona fide Child of Fate.
If he could turn this one into a ghost and hide him within his body, he would surely forge the strongest ghost in the Six Realms.
By then his own power would skyrocket as well.
Never mind the God Lord Realm; even the peak God Venerable Realm might not be out of the question.
That was why Lu Yuan had been haunting them so persistently, desperate to find Han Qianzhang’s true body.
Only, what no one expected was this.
Before Lu Yuan even began to question them, the guy jumped out on his own. What a gift, without lifting a finger.
Yes.
That red figure was Han Yuexi’s younger brother, Han Qianzhang.
Only, at this moment he looked nothing like the honest blockhead from before.
Red hair, furious eyes, twin pupils flickering like flames.
A strange red radiance poured off him.
Seeing this, Ye Yu glanced up at the eclipse and asked, “This is your brother losing control? Why is he here?”
Han Yuexi’s face went deathly white.
Why was Han Qianzhang here?
Because she had put him here.
Sometimes things really do line up like this.
Just recently, to keep Han Qianzhang out of Lu Yuan’s search, she’d placed him in this hidden valley.
And it just so happened the route to Balance City passed by this place.
And it just so happened Lu Yuan caught up with them here.
And it just so happened today was the day of the solar eclipse, and after losing control Han Qianzhang charged straight out.
This was coincidence’s mother opening the door for coincidence itself—coincidences all the way down.
But why at this exact moment?
Han Qianzhang had no reason at all when he lost control; that, Han Yuexi knew.
But before leaving she had set an extremely powerful formation. Even a Gold God Realm expert shouldn’t be able to break it so easily.
How could her brother have...
Could it be he had broken through ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) again?
Late Great God Realm?
That had to be it. At that level, with the power spike from losing control, otherwise there was no way he could break through the seal she had set.
Damn it, how did everything end up colliding like this?
Han Yuexi was on the verge of collapse.
Then she directly tore apart the shadow ghost wrapping behind Ye Yu.
She sent a heart-voice transmission. “In a moment I’ll seize the opening and knock Han Qianzhang out. You take him to Balance City. I’ll hold Lu Yuan off for a moment.
Take this communication stone. If my parents contact you, hand Han Qianzhang over to them. They will reward you heavily.
Please.”
Han Yuexi shoved a communication stone into Ye Yu’s hand.
Her eyes were full of pleading.
At the same time.
Han Qianzhang had already been swatted flying a dozen times by Lu Yuan.
Every time he rushed back at the first instant.
But he could never get within five steps of Lu Yuan again.
It had to be said, Ancient God Realm was Ancient God Realm.
Even without the help of ghosts, Lu Yuan’s power remained, and handling a Han Qianzhang was child’s play.
“Late Great God Realm cultivation. After going berserk, your destructive power can rival late Gold God Realm.
Crossing two great realms.
If you stepped into the Ancient God Realm, wouldn’t you dare take a swing at a God Venerable?
Tsk tsk, interesting. But this is as far as you go.”
The reason Lu Yuan hadn’t killed Han Qianzhang at once was that he wanted to see what on earth had changed.
Why he was completely different from before.
He still didn’t know the cause, but the change in power he felt clearly.
All right—now he couldn’t wait to fuse Han Qianzhang into his back.
Then all secrets would be unveiled.
Watching Han Qianzhang charge straight at him again.
Lu Yuan did not dodge, lifting his hand to grab him.
But when the two were only half a meter apart.
Han Qianzhang’s figure stopped abruptly in midair, then retreated at speed.
Han Yuexi had moved to block him.
Only, Han Qianzhang had no gratitude for the favor. Eyes wide, he was about to strike his own sister.
But she seemed to have foreseen this.
At the first instant she tried to knock him out.
Whether out of softness or not, Han Qianzhang not only failed to pass out, he even let out a roar.
The surging shockwave snapped Han Yuexi’s clothes and made them whip and crack.
She frowned despite herself.
She had never worked this hard to knock someone out.
Doing it the first time, it was inevitable to be a little rusty.
Too light and he wouldn’t go out; too heavy and she feared hurting him.
It was truly hard to decide.
What?
Why not restrain him?
Rely on what to restrain him?
Divine arts?
Han Yuexi, staying behind to cover the retreat, had already prepared to die.
If she died, without divine power to sustain them, any divine arts would quickly disperse.
Then Ye Yu, at early New God Realm, would face a berserk Han Qianzhang.
That would be sending him to his death.
So Han Yuexi came up with the plan to knock him out.
Only, how to make the strike?
Bang.
Ye Yu slammed a palm into the back of Han Qianzhang’s neck.
Han Qianzhang went out cold on the spot.
“Don’t thank me, just lending a hand.”
Even in the God Realm, Ye Yu’s physical strength was still terrifying.
Knocking out an unguarded Han Qianzhang was no trouble at all.
Too heavy a hand?
This was a heaven’s favored son, carrying destiny. He shouldn’t die that easily.
Besides, he wasn’t Ye Yu’s own little brother. Why worry whether he lived or died.
“Please.”
Han Yuexi handed Han Qianzhang to Ye Yu and dashed toward Lu Yuan.
Her eyes were filled with grim resolve.
But how would Lu Yuan waste time on her.
“Out of my way.”
Countless ghosts condensed into a mass, forming a colossal ghost god, and with a raised hand pinned Han Yuexi completely in place.
