Xiang Shaoyun's greatest trump card was the nether prison devil puppet. However, the puppet was trapped in the net and couldn't break free temporarily. Devouring Ghost was also kept busy by a Sovereign while Jin Wo and the blood demon were barely hanging on against the other Emperors.
Thus, Xiang Shaoyun only had himself to rely on at this moment. As the Emperors swarmed him, he used the Nether Shadow Evanescence and blended into the natural world around him, turning completely invisible.
The a.s.sa.s.sins were stupefied to find that their target had vanished. It was at this moment that a group of experts had suddenly appeared and attacked them. These experts were extremely powerful, with a Sovereign among them as well.
The Sovereign battling Devouring Ghost noticed that things were not looking good for them and was the first to flee. a.s.sa.s.sins always operated like that: if things weren't working out, they wouldn't force it.
Devouring Ghost was unable to prevent the Sovereign's escape. As for the newcomer Sovereign, he chased after the Sovereign a.s.sa.s.sin. At this moment, the nether prison devil puppet had been freed as well. The net had suddenly vanished, and n.o.body knew where it had gone.
Xiang Shaoyun noiselessly appeared beside the nether prison devil puppet. He looked at the newcomers and was able to see that they were Ghostface Sect members with a single glance.
After killing the a.s.sa.s.sins, the Ghostface Sect members ignored Xiang Shaoyun and quickly vanished, as if they had never appeared. Among the corpses littering the ground, Huo Xudong was nowhere to be found. It seemed that after saying all those words to the a.s.sa.s.sins, he himself had vanished. Not even the Ghostface Sect members had managed to find him. One ought to admit that Huo Xudong was really skilled at hiding.
Devouring Ghost scanned the corpses and said, ”These rat emblems are probably the symbol of a certain organization. Do you know them, young master?”
”I heard it belongs to an organization called the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins. Have you never heard of them?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
Devouring Ghost said with disdain, ”Probably a new organization that appeared in the last 10,000 years. But their a.s.sa.s.sination skills do not seem anything special.”
”Um. By the way, our helpers are from the Ghostface Sect,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
”Since that is the case, let's head straight to the Ghostface Sect. I am kind of looking forward to seeing my disciple's reaction when he sees me,” said Devouring Ghost with an amused tone.
Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun would not disagree. In the first place, he was here to get Devouring Ghost to deal with Green Ghost anyway. Although he no longer feared Green Ghost after his meeting with Tang Zhan, it would still be great if Devouring Ghost and Green Ghost could really reestablish their relations.h.i.+p.
After all, he had personally met Green Ghost and could see that Green Ghost had a decent respect for his master. Otherwise, he wouldn't have requested to meet his master in such an anxious manner.
They shortly arrived before the Ghostface Sect. Gazing at the ma.s.sive ghostface emblem on the gate, Devouring Ghost had a complicated look in his eyes. He couldn't help but to sigh, ”I've never expected that a day would come when I'm back here again.”
The guard at the gate was about to step forth and chase the two visitors away when Lady Shura leisurely stepped through the gate.
”Young Master Xiang, please come inside. My sect master has been waiting for quite a while,” invited Lady Shura.
”Ok.” Xiang Shaoyun nodded and stepped through the gate.
Devouring Ghost followed closely behind, but Lady Shura stopped him and said, ”Irrelevant people are to stay outside.”
”Little girl, you sure you want me to stay outside?” Devouring Ghost asked with a faint smile.
Lady Shura did not say anything, but the way she behaved made her answer clear. She felt that Devouring Ghost was merely an attendant of Xiang Shaoyun. Someone like that was not qualified to meet her sect master.
