Chapter 250 (1/2)
This was a cruel and terrible thing to happen, especially to the disciples who had a rare period of ten days of peace, this madness and fear which was ten times more than what they had experienced previously, their nerves stretched to theafter the violent earthquake, finally there was deserters
Not many deserted, only one, and not someone i sect less than three years And Ghost King sect was one of the Evil sect branches, furthermore this was the residence of the holy sect leader, the various severe punishments of the Evil sect, hoould they missed that out?
The deserter was soon captured and brought back, and severely punished but the dark shadows and suffocating at every one of the since when, they beca sect was a dead silence, the disciples avoiding talking, the goal of the cultivation path, was enough towhat it exactly moved?
In such scenario, the sect head, Ghost King who had always placed the sect as his top fear a the deserter, he remained reclusive and enious and a brilliant strategist was thinking, was heplan?
Anyway, nobody knew!
But Ghost Li clearly felt this strange energy, truthfully, as long as one was slightly clear-ent, could tell it very obviously, the abnorly did so to it
To him, Biyao was first
And now thewas, that mysterious force which erupted whenever it was at theback, he had never felt this force, such evil and terrible force, it seemed not be a force from the mortal world
Just that, after he secretly searched the entire cave, other than the ground which was streaked with cracks and fissures, he did not find anything
Leaving only one place, he had not searched Ghost King's residence
But, before he could think of a plan to search that place, someone had already came to look for him
Due to the powerful earthquake that day which caused many rocks to tumble down in the corridors, Ghost Li who stayed in the ice cold stone roo Even if he went out, he would rush back in fear that another earthquake would cause the rocks to tumble down and hurt Biyao, that would be an irreparablesect, it was obviously not a safe place anyers and went to look for Ghost King
Pertaining to his daughter, Ghost King naturally would not dare to take chance but in this short notice, he was unable to find a suitable place to house Biyao Biyao's body had been sleeping for ten years and could not be easily moved from the ice platform, and they still would need ti sect
Without any choice, though Ghost Li was anxious but he could only wait, Ghost King dispatched uard beside Biyao day and night
The cold room was after all different from other rooms, these few days, the cracks on the walls were repaired in the shortest possible ti to the other places, the cold rooainst the ice platfor around the room, Xiao Hui crouched beside hi so it
In the usual days, Ghost Li would not bring Xiao Hui into the roouard beside Biyao for the whole day and was unable to return to his residence Also he was suspicious of the strange force in the mountain and so did not wish to let Xiao Hui run around by hi with hiently from the platform behind him, like a mist floated in the air, Ghost Li quietly watched the translucent s obscure
At this roan and then opened As it was a newly replaced door, the sound was rather unfaure quietly walked in, it was Mr Ghost
Ghost Li glanced at him, did not speak
The door closed behind Mr Ghost, cutting off the outside world
Mr Ghost walked forward slowly but did not say anything to Ghost Li, instead glanced at Biyao for a while and then spoke, “Ms Biyao turning into this state, without realizing it it has been ten years already…”
Ghost Li's face suddenly tensed, staring sharply at Mr Ghost, Mr Ghost under his black veil, not knohat his expression was but from his body movements, he seemed oblivious to it
Slowly, Ghost Li looked away, towards Biyao, saw her faint shtened, a dejected look passed his face
Mr Ghost saw Ghost Li's expression, a strange glint lightlyto face Ghost Li, said, “Do you wish to save Ms Biyao?”
Ghost Li looked up at Mr Ghost but did not show any expression on his face, indifferently said, “If you have so to say, say it”
Mr Ghost seeh there was sos that day when that astrolabe displayed its powers, the situation turned chaotic but I thought carefully after that, it is still not totally hopeless using the astrolabe to save Ms Biyao”
Ghost Li's countenance moved, he stood up, Xiao Hui saw his master moved, swished its tail and leapt twice, climbed up and sat down on Ghost Li's shoulder, and then took a bite out of the fruit in its mouth and looked at Mr Ghost
Under Ghost Li and Xiao Hui, one human and one monkey stares, Mr Ghost paused and then continued, “It seems to me, this astrolabe is an ancient divine ite lost on earth but never showed up before, it is not a trivial thing”
Ghost Li was taken aback, “Ancient divine ite to ancient legends, the various celestial deities only passed down several rare treasures in the ancient times, and had inconceivable divine powers, it was not what a ical treasure, should be one of it”
He paused, glanced at Ghost Li, saw hi raptly, Mr Ghost's veil shi+fted slightly, again said, “In the legend, this astrolabe is a rare and unfathomable treasure, possess the heaven and earth truths, contain infinite , set the soul, pry astronomical phenomena, some ancients even said it could comprehend creation, reverse cause, consequences and destinies, it is really an incredible rare celestial weapon”
Ghost Li's , Pude the two h some of the contents were different but clearly this was an exceptional item, could it be, could it be Mr Ghost really had the ability to save Biyao?
With the thought, his body trembled, stepped forward, said, “Mister please save her”
Mr Ghost shi+fted slightly, avoided Ghost Li's bow, indifferently said, “Ms Biyao is afterall Ghost King sect head's beloved daughter, I have received the sect head's great benevolence, if I can save her, I will not shrink fro anxious, said, “Mister if you have words please speak”
Mr Ghost was quiet for a moment and said, “I have just said, this is an ancient divine weapon, mysterious and unfathomable, the abilities and powers in it, I must be able to comprehend and then treat Ms Biyao”
This was an extree reaction instead, it was not wild joy, he shi+fted his gaze from Mr Ghost, turned towards the ice platform, after a moment, he slowly turned back, his expression indifferent, his eyes indistinctly had an obscure mockery and wariness look, indifferently said, “Then what Mister meant was…”
Mr Ghost was silent for a moment, spoke directly, “I need time to comprehend the profound mysteries of this astrolabe, if you trust me and also to save Ms Biyao, then please temporary lend the astrolabe to me, once I have comprehended it, I will definitely return immediately to save Ms Biyao”
Ghost Li's lips htly, a cold sneer slowly revealed, his eyes also turned cold, slowly said, “Then what if I don't trust you?”
Mr Ghost was nonplussed, for moment seemed taken aback, did not knohat to say
Ghost Li coldly said, “That day at Qing Yun Hill Tongtian Peak outside the Founders Ancestral Hall, that elder clearly ell-acquainted with you, you killed hiht a few times, whether we had the intention to kill, we know it clearly in our hearts If according to you, this divine iteBiyao, secondly this is not mine, how can I entrust this so easily to you?”
Mr Ghost sneered, said, “So it seems like Ms Biyao is not as important in your heart anymore, in front of you there is a hope to save her and you rather give up?”
Ghost Li coldly snorted, said, “Want me to hand this over to you, that is impossible”
Mr Ghost spread his hands out and said, “Oh, there is no way then”
Ghost Li was silent for a lanced at Mr Ghost, frowned and hesitated for a moment, finally softened his tone and said, “that is to trouble Mister for a while, will be able to study the treasure and also relieveto listen?”
Mr Ghost with a “Oh” said, “is there such solution, please speak”
Ghost Li said, “Have to trouble Mister to be inconvenience, to study the astrolabe in this ice room!”
Mr Ghost was stunned, said, “What?”
Ghost Li indifferently said, “Of course while doing so, I will be beside Mister, or if Mister feels that this place is not suitable, I a to allow Mister to choose other places, just that I must be beside”
Mr Ghost looked at Ghost Li, his eyes glinting, Ghost Li re to make any further concession Mr Ghost was silent, slowly spoke, “Please let ain!”
After speaking, he turned and glanced at Biyao, suddenly said, “But the sufferings that Miss Biyao underwent these ten years are really not small, you yourself must think over this carefully”
Ghost Li coldly huuish flashed past his eyes but his eyes were still sharp and clear, said, “Don't need you to mention, I am aware of that hundred times more than you”
Mr Ghost nodded, turned, opened the door and left
Watching that black figure disappeared froht, the door closed with a rumble, Ghost Li quietly turned, sat down beside the platfor while, he was heard , “Biyao, don't blame me, I really have no choice but to do this…”
Mr Ghost after leaving the room, stood outside for a moment, the tunnel outside was still deserted but for soe air seemed to permeate it
Mr Ghost watched the empty corridor for a while, turned and headed to the other side, his footsteps were silent, in this strange silence, there was not a sound, like an apparition
As he headed further, the tunnel grew darker, Mr Ghost dressed in black, looked suited to the at into the darkness
Just that he continued to walk on Suddenly he stopped, looked ahead, before him, there was a corner in the tunnel that headed into another direction, that corner was not lit, appeared the darkest, and in that obscure corner, a figure see there
Mr Ghost looked deeply at that figure, walked slowly over In the darkness, that person moved, a deep voice was heard, “How is it?”
Mr Ghost silently shook his head, said, “He refused to give ure froze for a moment, seemed to be surprised and then for some reason, seemed to be infuriated, abruptly stepped forward, said, “Don't tell me he actually don't care about Biyao's survival anymore?” Mr Ghost shook his head said, “You know his character, Ms Biyao is the most important person to him, just that I see that he doesn't trust me and so refused to hand me the treasure to study it”
That shadow snorted, walked out slowly, it was Ghost King, his face cold, said, “Since he refused to hand the treasure and our blood formation is incomplete, for the moment it is not wise to fall out with him, what should we do?”
Mr Ghost indifferently said, “Ghost Li still cares about Ms Biyao and so he gavewas surprised, asked, “What condition?” Mr Ghost sighed lightly and said, “He can lend me the treasure to study but heimmediately frowned, hesitated for a moment, said, “We want to take the treasure in order to release the Qian Kun Lock on the cauldron and the blood for to use the power?”
Mr Ghost laughed bitterly, said, “That is the hard part”
Ghost King was silent, did not speak, Mr Ghost thought for a while, said, “I suggest, maybe we can first take the treasure and examine it, the ancient weapon has infinite mysteries, maybe we really can find a way to activate the Qian Kun Lock across space, previously the Qian Kun Lock reacted to the astrolabe over a long distance too”
Ghost King nodded, said, “Think that is the only solution for now”
Mr Ghost turned and stepped forward, indifferently said, “Then I will go first to prepare”
“Wait!”
Ghost King's voice was heard from behind suddenly, Mr Ghost paused, turned and look at Ghost King, said, “Sect head still have 's eyes suddenly turned stern, stared at Mr Ghost for a long while and then slowly said, “There is one , I want to ask you”
Mr Ghost said, “Sect head please speak”
Ghost King's face was indifferent but his eyes seemed perplexed after stern, said, “I ask you, the ancient astrolabe, other than being able to release Qian Kun Lock, is it also possibleto save Biyao?”
Mr Ghost was silent, after a long time slowly spoke, “I am not sure, I have to examine the treasure first before I will know”
Ghost King's lips moved and then waved his hand, quietly said, “I understand, you can go!”
Mr Ghost cupped his hands to Ghost King, turned and left
Ghost King was left alone in the tunnel, for a long tiently sed his solitary figure into the shadows, not long after, other than a stretch of darkness, his figure was no longer seen
Ghost Li sat quietly in the cold rooainst the stone platfors, its head on his lap sound asleep
The stone room was in silence, so quiet one could almost hear their own heartbeats, Ghost Li looked indifferent but his eyes had glints, indistinctly soested to study the astrolabe but that black figure had not appeared again, Ghost Li started to feel uneasy, especially when the corner of his eyes saw Biyao lying on the platforer
He even had the thought to disregard all caution in order to save Biyao
