”Senior Chen, there is no need for that. I believe you have seen for yourself the situation we are in. Staying here any longer will only bring you trouble. I won't forget what you have done for us,” said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.

The Chen Clan had offered them shelter despite knowing they were being pursued by powerful enemies. Regardless of their motive, this was a promise Xiang Shaoyun felt he needed to give. No matter what, someone willing to provide help when one was down was worth thanking.

When Chen Jiayan saw that Xiang Shaoyun was firm in his decision to leave, he changed the topic and probed, ”I heard Young Master Xiang knows Du Xuanhao the Saber Emperor and is friends with Zilong from my clan?”

Xiang Shaoyun nodded. ”Yes, I did meet the Saber Emperor once before. As for Chen Zilong, I guess we are considered friends.”

”I see. They will definitely be overjoyed to hear that you are fine now,” said Chen Jiayan. ”Have some lords left earlier?”

In truth, he had sensed Little White and the old demon leaving, which was why he had decided to come over.

Xiang Shaoyun spoke the truth, ”Yes, my friend has something he needs to do so he's leaving first. I will need to trouble you to pa.s.s on a message to the Saber Emperor. I will pay him a visit after I'm done handling my affairs. Please tell him to wait for me.”

”Yes, I'll pa.s.s on the message,” said Chen Jiayan. After a short chat, he left.

Looking at Chen Jiayan's departing back, Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself, Looks like I need to start taking the initiative and do something.

After this crisis, he had a new recognition of how weak he still was. Moreover, he did not have an army of his own, making it hard to contend against those traitors. Fortunately, he had encountered Devouring Ghost, who was a great addition to his forces, and with his help, he would be able to grow more quickly.

After all, few could compare with Devouring Ghost's experience and knowledge, not even Duo Ji. That was an expert who was one at the very top of existence. Also, Xiang Shaoyun kept having a feeling that there seemed to be some sort of connection between him and Devouring Ghost. It caused him to have absolute trust in Devouring Ghost.

At the thought of Devouring Ghost, he called Duo Ji over and asked, ”Old drunkard, where is Linggu Haonan?”

Xiang Shaoyun still remembered that before he had fallen unconscious, Devouring Ghost had charged into Linggu Haonan's head. He was most likely trying to take over Linggu Haonan's body, and Xiang Shaoyun was worried that Linggu Haonan's body had been destroyed by Duo Ji and the others. If that did happen, would Devouring Ghost survive?

”Don't worry, young master. We locked him somewhere and have been keeping him safe,” said Duo Ji. ”Young master, who is the evil spirit in Linggu Haonan's body?”

Duo Ji was a Soul Foundation Realm expert. Thus, he was clear that to seize the body with one's soul to undergo rebirth, one had to be at least a peak Soul Foundation Realm expert. This was a feat regular Soul Foundation Realm experts wouldn't be able to accomplish.

Because of that, he was curious how Xiang Shaoyun had met an indestructible evil soul like that. He was also worried that Xiang Shaoyun would attract some needless trouble.

Xiang Shaoyun did not answer Duo Ji's curiosity. Rather, he said eagerly, ”Bring him over immediately!”

Duo Ji did not do anything and repeated himself, ”Young master, that is an old monster capable of taking over one's body. If...”

Duo Ji was afraid that Xiang Shaoyun was acting rashly due to his youthful ignorance and offered more advice.

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand. ”Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Just bring him here.”

When Duo Ji saw the calm and confidence in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, he praised inwardly, The young master's temperament is growing to resemble the ever confident sect master.
