Chapter 1873: A Ghost’s Bullshit Cannot Be Trusted
“He thinks of us as a burden… if it wasn’t for the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme, he would’ve left us behind a long time ago,” Moran Linglong chuckled ruefully as she looked in the direction that Lu Yun had left in.
“No,” Moran Linlang shook her head. “When he first arrived, he was clueless and came to understand this world through us. Even without the grand supreme, he wouldn’t leave us here because of that.”
She looked at the Bloodscorch Lion next to them. It nodded solemnly back at them.
“I wonder if he uses a method similar to the Dragon Dominance Rings of the yellow dragons?” Moran Linlang murmured.
……
Lu Yun was finally certain that the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme had primarily sent him here to look after the Moran sisters. Now that they had a supreme bodyguard, he could leave with peace of mind.
It was also as Moran Linlang had said. When he first arrived, it was thanks to their care that he’d acclimated to his new environment. Just that alone meant he would never leave them out in the cold.
“This really is a prime location for self tempering.” Lu Yun stood on a mountain peak and looked to the far distance. “I wonder how Chu Xingran is. But eh, he’s the crown prince of Darklake and has the protection of the dragons, so he should be having an easy time of things.”
After an indeterminable amount of time in this world, he’d slowly familiarized himself with a few unspoken rules. Some of the larger factions had established communities in this world for their members—such as the Moran sisters. When they first arrived, they likely arrived in the Moran Clan community first and then struck out alone to temper themselves.
“Come on out,” Lu Yun suddenly turned around. “You’ve been following me around and ignored the opening I gave you to make a move. What do you want? It’s not just the core of an exotic beast.”
“Greetings to the master of ghosts.” A smear of grayish-white walked out of the void and knelt in front of Lu Yun. It was the female ghost that’d plagued the Moran sisters.NovelFull.com
“What did you call me?” Lu Yun blinked. “Master of ghosts?”
“The six hells have become one and all ghost cultivators beneath the heavens have a foundation. You bear hellfire, so you are the master of all ghosts.”
Lu Yun: ……
The six hells combining into one was sure to raise a certain commotion, but the powerhouses of the chief worlds didn’t care. It was just the unification of a major dao. As strong as hell dao was, the chief worlds were vast and endless. Some great daos were on par with hell dao or even stronger.
Lu Yun hadn’t thought that the first to react to the six hells becoming one would be the ghost cultivators. If his guess was right, his identity was exposed. The female ghost in front of him knew who he was.
“Does this mean that all of you are willing to take me for your master?” Lu Yun smiled superciliously.
“This humble one is willing to serve the master, but other ghost cultivators might not think the same.” The female ghost remained kneeling on the ground. “Ghost cultivators train in ghost dao and are roughly split into two factions. The first walks the path as humans, the second walks ghost dao as ghosts. This subordinate falls into the second and others like me will be willing to serve the master of ghosts.
“Ghosts are the best at bullshit, how can I believe you?” Lu Yun shifted half a step back. He couldn’t probe the ghost cultivator’s emotions through the Karmic Tree and the ghost’s cultivation was stronger than his. If she wanted to make a move against Lu Yun or entrance him with her mind, he wouldn’t be able to do anything in response.
Thus, he didn’t dare relax his guard.
“The master of ghosts can subdue me just as you’ve subdued the Bloodscorch Lion,” the ghost responded candidly. Patently, everything that’d happened before had taken place under her watchful eye.
“You followed me all this time just so you can swear loyalty to me?” Lu Yun still didn’t believe her.
“Yes,” she nodded.NovelFull.com
“You think that I, a minor cultivator at twenty-five levels of sequence, have the right to be the master of ghosts?” Lu Yun pointed at his nose with a snort of laughter.
“My master is the master of the Dark Hell of ghost souls. If he supports you, then none of that is an issue,” the ghost responded.
“You want me to go to this Dark Hell of yours, don’t you?” Lu Yun blinked rapidly.
The female ghost nodded.
“And then win your master’s support?” Lu Yun asked.
She nodded again.
“And then your master can capture me and use the origin hell to threaten the emperor and various lords?” Lu Yun snorted. “I can go to this Dark Hell, but that must wait until I become a supreme.”
“No!” the ghost responded. “You are too weak, milord, and the other places of this world too dangerous. You must come with me now, that is the only place that can protect you!”
“Do you know who I am?” Lu Yun pointed at himself.
“Zhu Lingyan, disciple of the Myriad Spirit Grand Supreme?” the ghost responded subconsciously. “As mighty as the grand supreme is and supported by the Firstspirit Grand Supreme, there are thousands of ghost cultivators beneath the heavens. Two grand supremes cannot keep the master safe.
“I can keep you safe in the World of Soul Dominion, but you must come with me to the Dark Hell after you leave,” she concluded firmly.
“Hahahaha!!” Lu Yun laughed. “And if I say no?”
“This subordinate will take the master back with me regardless!” Harsh resolution flashed through her eyes.
“Do whatever you want.” Lu Yun waved his hand and left the mountain peak with a turn of his body.
The ghost didn’t immediately take action; she followed behind him. Lu Yun didn’t trust her and wasn’t the slightest bit tempted. This nonsense of the master of ghosts and protecting him was all bullshit. She hadn’t even offered her name because she wanted to evade karmic repercussions. That would ensure Lu Yun wouldn’t be able to take revenge against her even if she failed.
As for the Dark Hell of ghost souls—that was plainly a terrifying faction that neither grand supreme could afford to offend.
Perhaps she hadn’t spoken a word of truth and even her identity was fake. What a ghost spoke of could not be trusted, unless it was Lu Yun’s own ghost. When she spoke of Lu Yun capturing her as he’d captured the Bloodscorch Lion, that was indicative of everything—she didn’t know how he’d done it. She assumed that he’d used something similar to the Dragon Dominance Ring to enslave the lion.
But ghosts… weren’t afraid of this kind of enslavement.
She followed by Lu Yun’s side so that she could be ready to capture him when he left the World of Soul Dominion. She must’ve already discovered a way to evade hellfire.
