Chapter 1164: Cause More Trouble (1/2)

“An akasha ghost!” Lu Yun’s eyes twitched when he saw the face that was both laughing and crying.

Akasha ghosts were an enormous shadow that constantly shrouded him. From the very first layout of death that he’d encountered, to this face—they were everywhere.

Now that he saw it again, he seemed to see a child behind that eerie face. Am I seeing things?

Unbidden, a brush appeared in his hand, one that still dripped of fresh blood. Qing Han had once used this brush to turn her corpse into an akasha ghost. Plainly, this brush contained the core essence of these ghosts.

Qing Han didn’t know where she’d obtained it either. It’d already been in her hand when she’d recovered her own consciousness.

When Lu Yun brought it out, he felt a certain thought ripple appear from the akasha ghost’s face. But before he had time to determine what that meant, it vanished without a trace, and the ghost’s face slowly retreated into the fissure.

……

“What rotten luck. We’ve just been freed from our post after reaching an agreement with the demon of immortal dao, but here we are, facing this,” grumbled God.

“You two reached an agreement with the demon?” Lu Yun blinked.

“Yes,” Pangu replied in a low, muffled voice. “Although he’s a demon, he’s a demon beneath the immortal dao. If the immortal dao is destroyed or falls into the hands of those weird things, he won’t end up with a good ending.”

“Thus, the demon’s retracted his power from the world of immortals and won’t try to seize the immortal dao in Mount Xuanhuang any longer,” finished God.

“That’s good, then.” Lu Yun breathed easily with relief. It wasn’t Hongjun or the three founders who most understood the immortal dao now, but Qing Yu and the demon of the immortal dao.

They would really be in trouble if the demon became a chaos creature or a lackey of the heavyweights in the Hongmeng.

Thankfully, the demon seemed to possess its own values and principles. Although he’d created no end of headache for them once, he hadn’t seemed to ally with the chaos creatures. Now that he’d reached an agreement with the two guardians, he wouldn’t renege on it. If he did, the immortal dao would abandon him and he would cease to exist.

“Alright, don’t cause more trouble for us here. Go do what you should do.” Pangu turned around to look at Lu Yun.

“Me? Cause more trouble?” Lu Yun’s expression sank.

Who was he? The headmaster of the Dao Academy, the sacred prince of Inception Palace in the chaos! He was a great personage in both the world of immortals and the chaos, his every move scrutinized by all parties around.

But he was just a troublemaker in Pangu’s eyes??

“That’s right, you just cause trouble.” God swept a glance at Lu Yun. “If my guess is right, you went into the fissure. There wouldn’t be an akasha ghost there otherwise.”

“Eh?” Lu Yun started, seeming to understand something. Akasha ghosts have something to do with me?
