Chapter 1572: Chapter 1565
Revenge had already driven Bai You completely mad.
"It’s just a lift of my hand. First let this king see which ghost dares commit murder in my territory."
Bai You was a friend of the Fourth Prince; by that reckoning, she was one of Hua Yaorao’s people.
Hua Yaorao absolutely did not believe that anyone under her command would dare lay a hand on Bai You.
Yet Bai You saw her One finger of Ghost Power fall onto the center of her brow.
Bai You only felt a burst of cold spread through her body, and in her mind it was as if something swept across.
That night’s scene of her being attacked entered Hua Yaorao’s consciousness, precise and intact.
Hua Yaorao saw a ghost claw, and a little ball of furry something; aside from that, there was nothing else.
Hua Yaorao’s expression changed slightly.
"Well? Did you find that culprit?"
Bai You felt a wave of cold inside her body; when the chill faded, she couldn’t wait to ask.
"A ghost claw. The other party didn’t even show their face."
Hua Yaorao snorted coldly.
But it was precisely that ghost claw that made Hua Yaorao feel something was off.
For the Ghost Clan, a ghost claw was not merely a means of attack; a ghost claw represented a ghost’s cultivation.
Ordinary ghosts of the Ghost Clan were vague and insubstantial; they had trouble harming people, much less condensing a ghost claw.
A ghost claw meant having a ghost body.
She, as Ghost King, had cultivated for a thousand years before finally managing to form a ghost claw.
Yet some outsider ghost just passing through actually possessed such a powerful ghost claw; the other party’s cultivation was considerable, and they deliberately didn’t show themselves—most likely precisely to conceal their identity.
And this ghost didn’t appear in Wangjing earlier or later, but just had to show up at this particular time. Could it be that they also came for that thing inside the Haotian Platform?
Hua Yaorao couldn’t help growing worried.
"Don’t tell me even you can’t find them? But didn’t you say you’re the Ghost King, that all the ghosts in this area are under your control?"
Hearing that, Bai You was displeased.
"That ghost is not from the Wangjing region. For the moment, it’s hard to track them down."
Hua Yaorao said, somewhat embarrassed.
In fact, lately there really had been a few uninvited guests on Wangjing’s territory.
Leaving aside the owner of the ghost claw that attacked Bai You, the ghosts she’d sent earlier to assassinate Prince Yuan, not a single one had come back.
Hua Yaorao knew in her heart that this matter was certainly connected to other members of the Ghost Clan.
"Since that’s the case, you can’t take revenge for me? All that talk of how powerful I am as Ghost King, and this is all you can do."
Bai You said discontentedly.
She had thought she’d be able to wash away her hatred soon.
"Although I can’t find the owner of that ghost claw, this king can help you find that little beast’s master."
Hua Yaorao sneered.
The moment she mentioned that little beast, Hua Yaorao’s ghost claw throbbed faintly with pain.
Earlier, in the Kutuo River, wasn’t it precisely that little beast who burned her ghost claw?
If she remembered correctly, that little beast had been together with those two Mercenary Army men from Tu Su’s House.
Last time it was because she’d been careless that the little beast and those two mercenaries managed to escape, even taking away a batch of her Spiritual Wisdom Grass seeds.
Now she was about to leave seclusion; once she was out, she would make those two pay the price, and as for that little beast, she wished she could devour it on the spot.
"You really can find that little Beast? But even if you find it, so what? My hand is still severed; I have no methods to take part in that special examination of the Taichang Holy Institute, my future is completely ruined. If I don’t kill that man, I’ll never get this hatred out of my heart."
Bai You said through gritted teeth.
At the mention of the Taichang Holy Institute, a strange light flickered in Hua Yaorao’s eyes.
