Xiang Shaoyun arrived at Devouring Ghost's restricted s.p.a.ce and entered using the corresponding secret technique. The restricted s.p.a.ce was expertly constructed, and not even a Sovereign could find it. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun did not fear that someone would discover this place.

That was something that Devouring Ghost had taken into consideration as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have opted to seclude himself here. The moment Xiang Shaoyun and Jin Wo entered, they sensed someone's focus lock onto them.

Overjoyed, Xiang Shaoyun asked, ”Devouring Ghost, have you left seclusion?”

”Haha, this subordinate greets the young master,” a hearty laugh rang out as a bowing Devouring Ghost appeared before Xiang Shaoyun.

Devouring Ghost was using the body of Linggu Haonan, someone in his robust years. Not only had the body's original cultivation level been restored, it seemed to have even grown. He looked to be in high spirits.

”Devouring Ghost, have you restored your strength?” asked Xiang Shaoyun in excitement.

Devouring Ghost had been his most devoted subordinate after being freed, and Xiang Shaoyun trusted him unconditionally. Devouring Ghost would be a great helper if he was able to restore his original strength.

Devouring Ghost shook his head. ”No, I have only restored the strength of this body. But I'm not far away from reforming my soul foundation.”

”That's good to hear,” said Xiang Shaoyun, still happy.

Although Devouring Ghost hadn't been able to enter the Soul Foundation Realm, he would still be of great help as a peak Emperor. Furthermore, he would be able to reform a soul foundation soon. That could only mean that Xiang Shaoyun would soon have another Sovereign helper and be one step closer to revenge.

”Young master, your growth has been phenomenal. Looks like you have benefited greatly from your trip to the Devil Domain,” said Devouring Ghost.

”You know about my trip to the Devil Domain?” Xiang Shaoyun asked in confusion.

”In truth, I was already out of seclusion a month ago. I made a round trip around the city and heard a lot of news. So it turns out you have even become the son-in-law of the Yu Clan? Hahaha, this is fate!” said Devouring Ghost with a laughter that seemed to contain an additional meaning behind it.

”What do you mean by fate?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”Since you have been to the Devil Domain, you should have seen the name of my master on the Contribution Stele, right?” asked Devouring Ghost.

”Yes. That name is listed among the top 10,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.

”My master is the hero of a generation, an unrivaled overlord. Few women are worthy of him, and the woman he loved most in his life also had the surname Yu. Unfortunately, they had both died,” said Devouring Ghost, pain in his voice.

”Surnamed Yu as well?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered with a complicated look in his eyes. He had never dreamed that there would be such a coincidence. Was this really the works of fate?

”It's better if you don't know too much about all that for now, young master. A day will come when you will understand everything. Let's go. It's pointless to continue staying here. Time for me to do something for you, young master.”

”Wait, what is your relations.h.i.+p with the Ghostface Sect?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”Oh? So the people from the Ghostface Sect have gotten in contact with you?” Devouring Ghost asked.

”That's right. I have even met Green Ghost's clone once. He claimed that you're his master,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
