Chapter 1147 - 405: Farewell Again to Qiu Qianhai
Chapter 1147: Chapter 405: Farewell Again to Qiu Qianhai
"Him..."
"Sigh—"
The Ghost Envoy, seeing Ji Yuan asking about this matter again, couldn’t keep it hidden any longer, but he just opened his mouth and let out a long sigh...
Ji Yuan, who was already somewhat worried, felt his heart tighten even more at this moment.
"I don’t know whether to say he’s lucky or unfortunate."
"What do you mean by that, senior?"
Ji Yuan inquired further.
"He’s just like you. As soon as you entered the core area, you ran into Nightmare True Monarch. But he, as soon as he went in, ran into Bone Nightmare Old Demon."
The Ghost Envoy said this casually.
As if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Ji Yuan remained silent, just staring at him. The Ghost Envoy, feeling somewhat awkward under his gaze, spoke in a deeper voice.
"Ha, why are you staring at me like that? Could it be you think I’m manipulating things from behind the scenes?"
"I dare not."
Ji Yuan replied in a calm tone.
In any case, now that things had reached this point, anything said would be too late. As for blame, that would have to wait until he had the strength to blame.
"When he encountered Bone Nightmare, Bone Nightmare saw through him, realizing Qiu Qianhai was his junior brother. So Bone Nightmare took action to remove the restriction placed on him."
The Ghost Envoy spoke as he paced back and forth on the square.
"But you know what kind of person Bone Nightmare is. After lifting the restriction Zhou Chu placed, he himself placed a new restriction on Qiu Qianhai. Do you not think that’s miserable?"
Ji Yuan remained silent.
"Fortunately, I have goodwill in my heart."
The Ghost Envoy smiled as he spoke, "I am kind-hearted, and I cannot stand to see good people suffer, so I rescued Qiu Qianhai."
"Where is he now?"
Ji Yuan stepped forward, asking urgently.
The Ghost Envoy, who had been turned sideways to him, suddenly turned his head to look at him.
This Ghost Envoy was clearly just a Bronze Puppet.
But Ji Yuan could see a hint of smile and amusement in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan understood.
Most likely, what the Ghost Envoy was saying was not true, or at least not as he said.
This puppet Array Spirit, who had slaughtered countless Core Formation Cultivators.
Could he really be a kind-hearted person?
"If the senior has something to say, feel free to speak directly."
Ji Yuan calmed the excitement and tension in his heart, then asked calmly.
The Ghost Envoy seemed to be waiting for this moment.
So, seeing Ji Yuan calm down, he began to speak: "Zhou Chu came from the Rashamon Sea, but he also had a master within the Rashamon Sea."
"Is it you, senior?"
"No, actually, it’s my master. He could be considered a disciple of my master’s generation."
"Then this..." Ji Yuan pondered momentarily before choosing to speak frankly, "In that case, wouldn’t Nightmare True Monarch be your... Young Master? How could you stand by and watch him die?"
"Because he’s too worthless."
The Ghost Envoy summed it up in one sentence.
"Since he’s worthless, he’s of no use. It’s better to let him die early and be reincarnated sooner."
"But not entirely without use. Actually, he managed to leave behind some utility."
Listening to the Ghost Envoy’s narrations, Ji Yuan understood almost instantly what he meant.
"His utility, is leaving behind Qiu Qianhai, right?"
"Tsk, not bad, you’re a smart person."
The Ghost Envoy glanced at Ji Yuan.
"I said I would tell you everything, and I’m not hiding it."
The Ghost Envoy nodded to himself, sighed toward the sky, and said, "Actually, setting up a game for the immortals, if no one knows about it, is truly a kind of sorrow."
As Ji Yuan listened to his lament, he quickly seized the opportunity to speak before the next words came out:
"Senior, after hearing all this, will I still be able to leave alive later?"
"Heh, rest assured, I naturally dare to tell you... because now, all this is of no consequence."
The Ghost Envoy said indifferently:
"You, with our Yin Ghost Sect’s Thousand Souls Banner, must have already noticed that those who died in the Inner and Outer Realms have no Divine Souls, right?"
"Exactly, I suppose those Divine Souls were taken by you, senior."
Ji Yuan told the truth.
"Yes, that’s right."
The Ghost Envoy also answered truthfully.
"Do you know why I collected these Divine Souls?"
"I don’t know, senior."
Ji Yuan shook his head.
The Ghost Envoy chuckled, "Divine Souls are a person’s innate source. I take this innate source, naturally to seize the Celestial Secret... to resurrect the dead."
The Ghost Envoy laughed sinisterly, and Ji Yuan felt uneasy inside.
...resurrect the dead.
Who could make the Ghost Envoy set up such a life-and-death chess game to save?
No need to say, Ji Yuan knew it. It was his master, the legendary Sect Leader of the Yin Ghost Sect.
"Then it seems, senior, this... has succeeded?"
Ji Yuan asked tentatively.
"Before my master’s death, he set up this Yin-Yang Great Array to reverse life and death. Plus with my thousand-year arrangement, how could it not succeed?"
The Ghost Envoy asked complacently.
But what does this have to do with Qiu Qianhai... Ji Yuan dared not ask this question.
If he didn’t ask, the Ghost Envoy continued to speak.
"Kid, do you know where exactly our Yin Ghost Sect originates from?"
"I don’t know, senior."
Ji Yuan knew that the Ghost Envoy now only needed a listener, so he just needed to cooperate.
"Do you know which continent is the strongest in our Human Realm?"
"It should be... the Central Continent."
Ji Yuan, who currently has knowledge of several continents, replied.
He was born in Cangluo Continent, now on the Extreme Abyss Continent, and the Desolate Ancient Continent which the Water Dragon Sect is headed towards. It is said that south of the Desolate Ancient Continent, there is a Barbarian God Continent.
Besides these, there are some unknown locations like the Demon God Continent, Martial God Continent, Demon God Continent, and this Central Continent.
There is quite an understanding of multiple continents, and just judging from these names.
The Central Continent should be the very center of this Human Realm, so it should be the strongest one.
