Chapter 552: Good and Evil (1/2)
The moment that Lan's eyes landed on the branch leader, the ghost could not help but feel his body tense slightly. He laughed at himself with some mockery and disdain as he realized that this was the most nervous he had ever felt, but he could not stop these uncontrollable feelings.
No ghost wished to stay within the Ghost Realm. It was a barren and desolate place that would challenge anyone's mind to their limits. If one did not have a ferocious will to survive and a hope for a future, they would easily succumb and turn into nothingness, becoming the energy consumed by others, and vanishing from the world forever.
”The reason we could enter this world is due to Xue Wei being a Rulebreaker. These entities are ranked based on which rules their existence has broken, and the amount of people they can bring with them out of this realm also depends on the rank reached.
”Although we are still looking for one or two others, we have enough space to bring an extra ghost, so I would like to extend an invitation for you to join us.”
Although Lan was merely extending an invitation to the branch leader, everyone knew that he would never decline this offer, as it was the reason for which he assisted them throughout their time in the Ghost Realm.
The reason that Lan also mentioned Xue Wei's position as a Rulebreaker was also to ensure that they would continue to protect him while they were in this world.
Lan had already broken through to the world of the immortals once again, and he did not fear for his own personal safety, but having more people protecting Xue Wei did not seem like a bad idea. Also, by knowing that it was this young man who held the key to leave the Ghost Realm, they all felt that his identity must remain confidential.
Although Lan was the one who had broken through to the Immortal Realm, the most important person to these ghosts was still Xue Wei.
Xue Wei might seem much more ordinary next to a Deity, but Lan's strength had no influence on them, while Xue Wei was the ticket to leave the desolate Ghost Realm, hence he was the pearl that would be held securely in their palm.
The branch leader looked at Xue Wei with a bit of hesitation. It was Lan who had invited him to leave with them, but in the end, Xue Wei was the one who held the actual power.
The thoughts of the branch leader were obvious to all, and Xue Wei could not help but chuckle slightly. It was not every day that you saw an illustrious God being ignored, while the decision-making was left to a mere mortal.
”Since Lan has already invited you, there will naturally be a spot for you, should you wish to leave alongside us.”
It was not only Lan who wished to offer the branch leader a chance to leave; Xue Wei also felt that they owed this ghost such an invitation.
