Chapter 536: Wanting to Take Him Away (2/2)

The youngster was not aware that Xue Wei was not even a ghost, and that even if he died, his body would be left behind. He was somewhat confident that he had found the perfect way to solve the whole problem, but even so, he felt hesitant.

As long as he stayed by the branch leader's side, he would be provided with soul power. He was not being treated wrongly, and he had anything he could wish for, but his innate urge to get stronger was slowly eroding his rationality.

Without considering the consequences should he fail, he rushed towards the room where Xue Wei and Lan were cultivating. While he did not know precisely what treasure this young man possessed, the fact that the branch leader was so eager to protect him showed that it was nothing ordinary.

He knew that killing this young man would not give him the treasure, so he had to bring him out of the mansion, but only now, when the branch leader was actually taking action himself, would he have the chance to benefit.

Although this current decision was very sudden, and without prior planning, the youngster did not care much. He had faith in himself, and his strength had rapidly progressed since the moment he had been taken in by the branch leader, so he did not think that any of the guards who were left in the manor would prove problematic to him.

Not to mention, everyone knew that he was a respected aid of the branch leader; bringing this young man away might not even alert anyone.

After having convinced himself numerous times, the youngster took a deep breath to calm the sudden unrest within his heart, and strode towards the courtyard where Xue Wei and Lan were currently cultivating.

The youngster was a ghost with quite a bit of strength. He understood that what he was about to do would be to betray the branch leader, so he could not leave any traces behind.

Fortunately, he had a somewhat overwhelming strength, so anyone he came across on the way was frantically absorbed by him.

The soul power could not be refined right away, but he had been storing it so he could slowly refine it while bringing Xue Wei away.

The journey to the courtyard was neither long nor short. He had rushed as much as he could, as he knew that since the branch leader was making a move on his own, then the overlords of the capital city would not be able to stall for time for long, but he dared not be sloppy either.

Xue Wei slowly opened his eyes as he released a foul breath of air he had been holding in while refining the heaven and earth essence into Qi. A sharp gleam flashed past his eyes as he glanced at the door.

It was not only Xue Wei who awoke from his cultivation, Lan also slowly began moving, and his eyes shone with malice. This was the Ghost Realm, so there was no scent of blood, but the oppressing air, and the dense killing intent were hard to hide, so both man and beast slowly turned solemn.
