Chapter 558: The Ghost Emperor's Position Isn't Worthy of Me

These words left Wang Chun perplexed. What did he intend to do?

Originally, he had only been pursuing Commander's mission. Now that the mission was accomplished, he could easily retire if it weren't for Wen Lao discovering him. He would have left long ago.

Wang Chun's expression turned even uglier than Wen Lao's. "If it weren't for your interference, old man, I would have left a long time ago. Do you have the audacity to question me?"

Wen Lao: "???"

Was it my fault, then?

Wen Lao almost ran out of breath and was on the brink of passing out. He had never encountered such a shameless member of the Ghost Clan in his entire life.

If it were possible to eliminate Wang Chun, Wen Lao would have already killed this shameless youngling on the spot.

"Youngster, don't be too arrogant! As long as you believe in the divine, swear allegiance to the Lord of Ghosts, and make a lifelong commitment to the Ghost Clan, I can allow you to leave and even make you the Ghost Emperor. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will keep you here!"

Wen Lao was dead serious. He knew that after this battle, his lifespan would be significantly shorter, but if he could find a promising young member like Wang Chun to take the position of Ghost Emperor, there would still be hope for the Ghost Clan.

There was no other way to restrain a powerful individual like him, but for the Lord of Ghosts, it was possible.

Over the years, the Ghost Clan had known that any oath made to the Lord of Ghosts must never be violated, or they would incur the Lord's wrath, leading to their souls being scattered. Being consumed entirely was far worse than having one's soul scattered.

Wang Chun wasn't foolish. Although he didn't know what this so-called divine being was, he was sure it wasn't a benevolent entity. He had never believed in any gods from the beginning and had always relied on his own abilities. It was the first time he had learned that even swearing to a divine being wasn't something to be taken lightly.

"The position of Ghost Emperor isn't worthy of me!"

Wang Chun was extremely arrogant, and his words ignited a blaze of resentment. The surrounding Ghost Clan members glared at him with anger.

For most Ghost Clan members, the Ghost Emperor was the supreme ruler, the highest authority within the Ghost Clan. Anyone showing disrespect to the Ghost Emperor was practically asking for death.

Wen Lao was so infuriated that he almost spat blood. This youngling was utterly insensible. He took a deep breath, preparing to pray and sacrifice his own life to unleash even greater power to eliminate this threat to the Ghost Clan.

Suddenly, a voice filled with panic rang out, "Something terrible has happened! Those defective products have reached the Ghost Emperor Palace!"

Defective products?

Upon hearing this, most Ghost Clan members were bewildered. They couldn't comprehend what "defective products" meant.

Wen Lao was the first to grasp the situation. Among the Ghost Clan, the "defective products" referred to those who were born without Ghost Patterns on their faces. How could they dare to do this!

Having spent years confined to the Library, Wen Lao was almost oblivious to what was happening outside. He had no knowledge of the fact that the former Ghost Clan, under Libra's leadership, had launched a full-scale attack on the Ghost Clan.

Without the protection of their stronger members, the former Ghost Clan had easily conquered the territories held by the Ghost Clan and had advanced all the way to the Ghost Emperor Palace.

Then, figures started to surround the area from outside. Upon closer inspection, they were also Ghost Clan members, but their faces bore no Ghost Patterns.

Such a situation had never occurred within the Ghost Clan before. Wen Lao, trembling with anger, watched this scene unfold. Su Chen, who had been observing everything through Wang Chun's eyes, was puzzled. How hadn't this old man been driven to madness yet?

The former Ghost Clan members split into two sides, forming a path, and then an eight-person palanquin approached from behind.

Libra sat atop it, her gaze cold and commanding as she looked down upon them all.

This was the first time Su Chen had seen Libra in such a mysterious and imposing manner, truly living up to her status as a Witch.

Wen Lao's expression changed abruptly. Was this a human?

How could a human make these "defective products" willingly serve under her? Just who was this woman?

Libra's arrival immediately altered the situation, and what's crucial was that Wen Lao had no knowledge that both Libra and Wang Chun were under the same person.

This was perfectly normal; who would ever think that a Ghost Clan member and a human had any connection?

"Defective products, who allowed you to set foot in the Ghost Emperor Palace and even acknowledge a human woman as your Master? You've brought disgrace upon the entire Ghost Clan!" Wen Lao's voice resonated loudly, echoing for all the Ghost Clan members to hear.

The former Ghost Clan members remained unperturbed. They had witnessed Witch-sama's immense power with their own eyes, and coupled with the former Ghost Clan's prophecy, anyone who dared to challenge Witch-sama's leadership was courting death.

Wen Lao's words didn't shake the former Ghost Clan members in the least, which left him feeling uneasy.

Was this human controlling the "defective products" with some dark and twisted method?

Wen Lao found it hard to believe. He was preparing to unleash another tirade, but Wang Chun didn't give him the chance.

"Libra, lend me a hand; this old man isn't weak, and I can't take him on alone," Wang Chun called out to Libra.

Even though they weren't Super Soldiers of Red Alert themselves, Wang Chun's potential strength was no less than that of the Super Soldiers. They were on the same level, so he didn't need to address Libra as his superior.

"Of course," Libra nodded slightly. She knew that anyone serving under Commander was a comrade.

In the next instant, an invisible Psychic Shockwave appeared in Wen Lao's mind. Wen Lao's eyes widened, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, instantly weakening.

With Libra's strength, taking out Wen Lao in one shot wasn't easy, but another wave would undoubtedly be fatal.

However, out of consideration for her comrade, Libra spared Wen Lao, allowing Wang Chun to handle him himself.

Wang Chun naturally understood and shouted to Libra, "Thanks. I'll treat you to skewers when we get back!"

During their time at the base, Wang Chun had learned that Libra had a particular fondness for skewers, a hobby she had picked up from Yun Ru. They were truly the number one couple at the Red Alert Base.

At the mention of skewers, Libra's eyes sparkled slightly as she pointed at the former Ghost Clan members in front of her and said, "I'll take care of these for you."

Wang Chun thanked her once again, then looked down at Wen Lao, who was kneeling on the ground with a playful expression. "Wen Lao, if you hadn't intervened, you might have lived to the end of your natural lifespan. What a pity."

In the next moment, Wang Chun decisively kicked Wen Lao, killing him instantly.

With Wen Lao dead, the remaining former Ghost Clan members were no longer a concern. Faced with the powerful assault of the former Ghost Clan members, the remaining Ghost Clan members were either killed or captured.

"How's the situation in the earthly realm?" Libra asked.

Wang Chun slapped his forehead. "No issues there. There are no strong opponents left in the Ghost Clan who can stop Commander's progress. We just need to…"

Wang Chun's words were cut short as an unparalleled surge of power suddenly erupted. It originated from the deepest part of the Ghost Emperor Palace, and a furious roar resounded throughout the area. "Who dared to kill my descendants? I will ensure you die without a complete corpse!" (To be continued)
