Chapter 805 - The Residual Soul of the Ghost Immortal

Chapter 805 The Residual Soul of the Ghost Immortal

Currently, the Ghost Sect is actually in a mess.

Since a theft happened to Five Ghosts Mansion, various rumors have been spread within the Ghost Sect.

In the whole Ghost Sect, plenty of disciples are frightened and worried. Because rumor has it that the Ghost Token has been taken away by the girl of the Dragon Court, the current position of the Ghost Sect has been exposed and the Dragon Court will exterminate the Ghost Sect soon.

Although the people of the Ghost Sect often mess around outside, for every cultivator in Huaxia, the Dragon Court is a burden on their chests.

On the criss-cross roads within the Ghost Sect, plenty of people come and go but it is strangely quiet.

Before they figure out the situation, none of them can be relaxed.

Everyone is restrained in this suffocating environment.

They cannot escape.

Besides, these disciples of the Ghost Sect are very clear that this rumor is likely to be true. When the rumor is spread, someone says that the girl brought here by the wife of the late sovereign has disappeared. And this girl called Meng Jing used to be a member of the Dragon Court.

However, the sovereign of the Ghost Sect hasn’t given any instruction by now. They don’t know what they should do so they can only keep feeling flustered under the atmosphere.

Apart from that, they cannot do anything else.

After all, they cannot rush to the sovereign of the Ghost Sect and then ask him casually, “What shall we do next?”

Perhaps, they will have been killed before the people of the Dragon Court arrive.

Now.

In the hall of the Ghost Sect.

The sovereign of the Ghost Sect sits in the seat of honor with a gloomy face.

The several other elders also sit together.

It is the old woman who sits on the opposite of them.

The old woman still holds the stick with a straight face but her eyes sparkle restlessly. It remains unknown what on earth she is thinking about at the moment.

“Granny, are you sure that Meng Jing really has taken the elixir of our Ghost Sect?” After staying quiet for a while, the sovereign of the Ghost Sect finally stares at the old woman and asks seriously.

This is of vital importance.

“Yes,” the old woman nods and says with certainty.

“Oh yeah?” An elder suddenly sneers and says, “Then why do the people outside start to crack our formation as soon as she has just left? Luckily, we have modified the formation in advance. Otherwise, the people of the Dragon Court would have rushed into the Ghost Sect!”

The speaker is still indignant with fury in the end.

The old woman turns to look at him, her grey eyes flickering with killing intent.

“So, do you think I’m lying to you?”

The elder gazed at by her immediately hauls down his colors and completely stiffens in situ. He doesn’t dare to talk harshly anymore but if he yields now, he will make a fool of himself.

“The Ghost Sect is your Ghost Sect and mine too. The late sovereign was my husband. It was him who prospered the Ghost Sect. Do you think I will help an outsider betray the Ghost Sect?” The old woman’s stick drops to the ground heavily, making a bang. With the dropping point of the stick as the center, cracks extend around.

The people around all look shocked and stare at each other.

However, given her capability and identity, the old woman is confident enough.

No one dares to take this woman lightly.

After all, they are aware of the woman’s capability. Even the current sovereign may be no match for the old woman. Apart from that, there is one more important reason that all the disciples of the Ghost Sect may not know but the people sitting here are all clear that it involves the biggest secret of the Ghost Sect or the most important thing that makes it sustain.

It is the sand fort.

Rumor has it that no one but the woman and the late sovereign can allocate the sand fort of the Ghost Sect.

Therefore, if the Dragon Court really cracks the formation of the Ghost Sect and comes in here, the woman will be their most important weapon.

Now, the old woman seems to be a bit impatient. She slowly stands up and holds the stick with her right hand, saying calmly, “Actually, believe it or not, I have said what should be said. I cannot control your thoughts. In the face of the formidable enemy, I think we had better be fully prepared. Although the Ghost Sect has been founded for several hundred years, it was developed by my husband. I don’t want to see the Ghost Sect razed to the ground by the Dragon Court. Besides, the Dragon Court is really capable. You are also aware that we cannot get out of the jaws of danger with our own ability.”

“So, what do you mean?” The sovereign of the Ghost Sect asks.

What the old woman said is actually an insult to him. She keeps saying that the Ghost Sect was prospered by her husband, which is like a slap in his face. However, he has to admit that the Ghost Sect’s rapid development took place during the last sovereign’s reign. Now, the Ghost Sect’s position in the field of immortal cultivation has been reduced, which actually has nothing to do with him.

The previous development is due to the late sovereign’s special approach. He accelerated the cultivation level of the disciples of the Ghost Sect in some malicious ways, which also attracted more cultivators to join the Ghost Sect.

Now, the situation has been different. Since the Aura Recovery Age started, their previous advantages have been gone. More cultivators have taken the opportunity. On the contrary, the disciples of the Ghost Sect cultivate through refining ghosts. Even though the Aura Recovery Age is somewhat beneficial for them, the benefits are really negligible compared with the other cultivation schools.

After all, although the current success rate of the ghost condensation is highly increased, they still have a lot of ways to find ghosts or directly kill people and fetch their souls even before the aura recovery.

“At the last moment of my husband, he left a pendant to me, which is in the sand fort. He told me that there was a wisp of the residual soul of a Ghost Immortal in the pendant.”

“What?”

The people present are greatly shocked.

The residual soul of a Ghost Immortal?

The late sovereign had such a thing?

“It is a wisp of the residual soul only but the owner of the residual soul is a Ghost Immortal. It is still very strong. Maybe it can be of use by then but the pendant in which the residual soul of the Ghost Immortal stays is restrained by a formation. It takes time to crack the formation. It also requires...some sacrifices. Hence, I need to make some preparations.”

“What sacrifices do you need?” An elder asked in a low voice.

“Ten Ghost Kings or three Ghost Emperors. As to Ghost Emperors, there are only two of them in the Ghost Sect. You must be unwilling to offer them so we can only make do with the Ghost Kings,” the old woman says.

“Well...”

“You can think about it but I can predict the result. Offer ten Ghost Kings in exchange for the residual soul of the Ghost Immortal to resolve the problem. I suppose you should know what to do,” the woman adds and then rises to leave the hall.
