Chapter 551: The Best Infiltration Method

Qing Ye's voice echoed like a haunting specter, making the members of the Ghost Clan present feel uneasy. They had never seen a Ghost Clan member act this way before. On the other hand, the humans they had previously considered as food had shown such behavior.

With just one glance, they recognized her. This lady was none other than Qing Ye, the favored consort of the Ghost Emperor. However, since it seemed that the Ghost Emperor had met his demise, this once-Emperor's consort was now just an ordinary Ghost Clan member.

Ghost Master spoke in a composed manner, "Emperor's consort, please do not be anxious. I am currently inquiring about the situation concerning this esteemed individual. If it is confirmed that this person defeated the Ghost Emperor in direct combat, and if their identity is clear, then we will recommend this individual to become the new Ghost Emperor."

Just as Wang Chun had initially suspected, the Ghost Clan was inherently a pragmatic race. As long as the Ghost Emperor had not been killed by their own kind, they would consider the strength of the individual responsible and would not hold a grudge. In fact, they might even endorse that person as the new Ghost Emperor.

They understood that anyone capable of defeating the Ghost Emperor must be incredibly powerful, and that fact weighed heavily on their minds.

"If the killer of the Ghost Emperor stands before you as subjects, why do you not act?" Qing Ye's voice was filled with madness as she loudly reprimanded them.

Qing Ye was acutely aware that with the Ghost Emperor's death, her own identity would be lost, and the luxurious life she had imagined would gradually slip away. The person responsible for this outcome was none other than Wang Chun.

She wanted Wang Chun dead!

Wang Chun looked at Qing Ye with an expressionless face. He couldn't help but wonder how he had ever fallen for a woman like her in the first place. Had he been blind to her true nature?

Taking a deep breath, he glanced at Ghost Master and said, "The position of Ghost Emperor doesn't seem all that appealing. Whoever wants to seek vengeance for the Ghost Emperor can come find me."

With that, Wang Chun took flight, preparing to leave the scene.

However, a group of Ghost Clan members blocked his path. Wang Chun's expression turned cold. "What is the meaning of this?"

"Wang Chun, you may leave, but he cannot!" one of the Ghost Clan members pointed at Yuri Clones.

Suddenly, Wang Chun realized the problem. While he was a Ghost Clan member, Yuri Clones was a human. The presence of a human within the Ghost Emperor Palace raised immediate suspicions.

If they weren't wary of Wang Chun's power, they might have already taken action and subjected them to harsh interrogation. For now, they didn't dare touch Wang Chun, but having a human among them was a different story.

If Wang Chun tried to protect this human, they wouldn't let him leave, no matter how determined he was. Wang Chun understood this well.

Yuri Clones remained expressionless, even under the intense scrutiny of so many powerful Ghost Clan members. This left the Ghost Clan members somewhat puzzled. Could this person truly be the rumored human death warrior?

Wang Chun's expression darkened. Yuri Clones was Commander's subordinate and, therefore, his comrade. If he abandoned his comrade, how would Commander view him?

He couldn't even protect one comrade; what kind of leader would that make him?

"He is a human subordinate of mine, tasked with relaying human intelligence to me. Do I need to report such a trivial matter to you?" Wang Chun's voice grew low, tinged with irritation.

The powerful Ghost Clan members exchanged glances. While the explanation sounded reasonable, they had no knowledge of the specifics.

In the end, Ghost Master spoke up, "I see how it is. Please, Wang Chun, do not take offense. Given the tense relationship between us and humans, we had to be cautious."

Ghost Master gave a subtle signal to the powerful members of the Ghost Clan, causing them to obediently step aside and allow Wang Chun and Yuri Clones to leave.

Once they had completely departed, one of Ghost Master's followers whispered, "Lord Ghost Master, why did you let them go? That Ghost Clan member named Wang Chun must have some ulterior motive, and that human, I can't help but feel that something's off about him."

"Let's not dwell on that for now. Let's go inside and assess the situation with Ghost Emperor," Ghost Master replied.

Upon seeing the body of Ghost Emperor, they immediately understood the wisdom of Ghost Master's decision. An individual capable of slaying Ghost Emperor was undoubtedly beyond their league. Even if they managed to fend off such a person, they would likely suffer heavy casualties. It simply wasn't worth it to risk so much for a Ghost Emperor who was already deceased.

If they could make this formidable Ghost Clan member their new Ghost Emperor, the strength of their Ghost Clan would greatly increase. Throughout their history, Ghost Emperor had always been regarded as the most powerful member of the Ghost Clan, and not just anyone could assume that position.

The news of Ghost Emperor's death was tightly sealed by these powerful Ghost Clan members. Qing Ye, as the only Ghost Clan member present, was naturally subjected to thorough questioning, and she provided a wealth of information.

When they learned that the person who had killed Ghost Emperor was the mysterious warrior who had fought him to a standstill before, they all had a clear idea. Such a powerful individual was deserving of the title of Ghost Emperor!

If they had known that Wang Chun had a human accomplice, they would probably regret their decision.

Mid-flight, Yuri Clones suddenly spoke, "Commander has one more order. Wang Chun is to find information about Ghost Patterns."

Wang Chun suddenly recalled Commander's instructions. It was his lapse in focus due to the Qing Ye incident that had caused him to forget this command, which was completely unacceptable.

"I understand. The most comprehensive information among the Ghost Clan is not here but in the Ghost Emperor Palace in the Underworld. To gather information, we'll need to go to the Underworld," Wang Chun replied.

As one of the strongest members of the Ghost Clan, there were few secrets within the clan that were truly hidden from him. He quickly found a location with a teleportation device, dispatched the Ghost Clan members present, and used the teleportation device to arrive in the Underworld.

Most of the Underworld was shrouded in darkness, illuminated only in areas inhabited by the Ghost Clan, where various sources of light were manufactured. These sources included torches that burned for an extended period and stones that emitted dazzling radiance upon stimulation. It was thanks to these sources that the Underworld had any semblance of brightness.

In a seemingly inconspicuous cave at the heart of the Ghost Clan territory, Wang Chun emerged from a teleportation device.

"Hey, who are you, and who authorized your return?" a Ghost Clan member who didn't recognize him immediately reprimanded him. "Without a decree from Ghost Emperor, how dare you come back on your own? Do you wish for your own demise?"

Just as this Ghost Clan member was about to summon others to capture the audacious intruder, he suddenly felt a surge of intense pain and lost consciousness.

"Commander always said that the best way to infiltrate is to eliminate anyone who sees you. That way, no one will know I've entered. His words truly make sense," Wang Chun mused.
