For any other human, the ghostrune territory was a deadly place. Even King Realm experts could hardly survive a trip to this place. However, Xiang Shaoyun dared to enter the ghostrune heartland even though he was not a Skysoar Realm cultivator yet.

If anyone found out about this feat, they would be stunned. In truth, the reason Xiang Shaoyun dared to do it was because of the Nether Dragon Soul Headband and the White Tiger Wings he had. He also had Devouring Ghost's protection.

No matter how strong Xiang Shaoyun was, he alone would not be able to face tens of thousands of ghostrunes. Death would be his only fate if he attempted that. But with Devouring Ghost around, he was guaranteed to be able to penetrate the ghostrune territory unmolested.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the homeland of the ghostrunes, he was surrounded. However, none of the ghostrunes attacked. They merely glared at him and scolded him endlessly. He could not understand their language, but it was obvious enough that none of them welcomed him. Since the ghostrunes were not attacking, he did not attack either. He waited curiously to see what they were going to do.

”Human, you intrude upon our territory and kill our people. You think none of us can do anything to you?” an aged voice rang out in his head, arriving through soul transmission.

The ghostrunes then stepped aside, making way for an old and ma.s.sive ghostrune king. Numerous ghostrunes cried out in surprise when they saw the newly arrived ghostrune king; their eyes immediately filled with reverence. This ghostrune king was none other than the patriarch of the ghostrunes.

”Of course not. Your people were the ones to attack first. I was merely forced to defend myself,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.

”Hmph. There are no good people among the humans. I don't care why you're here, but leave right now. Otherwise, we will do everything we can to kill you,” demanded the ghostrune patriarch coldly.

”Sure, I can leave. Give me a soul raising stone, and I will leave immediately,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”We don't have it. Leave,” said the patriarch.

”Yes, I can leave, after you give me a soul raising stone,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Since you want to die, I will grant your wish. Kids, slaughter him!” commanded the patriarch.

At his command, thousands of ghostrunes swarmed Xiang Shaoyun. They no longer feared death and seemed intent to kill Xiang Shaoyun regardless of the cost. Not even a King Realm expert could remain fearless in face of so many ghostrunes. At this moment, Devouring Ghost finally acted.

”Hmph. Just some puny ghostrunes dare to act recklessly before me? Die!” Devouring Ghost snorted coldly and sent a wave of incorporeal soul power gus.h.i.+ng out of Xiang Shaoyun's head.

The soul power formed an incorporeal palm that crashed down at the swarm of ghostrunes like a ma.s.sive mountain. It was a soul attack, and although the ghostrunes had decent soul power, they were nothing compared to Devouring Ghost. Ghostrunes dropped one after another, dying in large numbers. As Devouring Ghost unleashed his soul power, a dreadful soul pressure appeared, causing intense fear in the hearts of the ghostrunes.

”What a terrifying soul power!” the ghostrune patriarch cried out timidly.

He no longer had the same cold and indifferent expression on his face. His heart was gripped by anxiousness, and he was fearful that the newly appeared soul power would attack him as well. Ghostrunes were innately sensitive to soul power. Thus, they were completely helpless against those with stronger soul power than them.
