Chapter 553: The Branch Leader’s Decision (2/2)

The branch leader could not help but feel relieved when he heard that Xue Wei was the key to leave. He had indeed made the right decision this time!

Mo Lian and the others clearly noticed his relief, and they felt somewhat amused. None of them were insulted by his actions; they understood the rules of survival here, but knowing that he was sincere was enough.

”This person you are looking for, Tie Haolong, did he die recently?”

Mo Lian looked at the portrait of Tie Haolong, which Xue Wei had passed over. The guy was good-looking, but he did not seem familiar to her.

Xue Wei contemplated for some time before he nodded his head. Although it had felt like a whole lifetime for him since his good brother died, it had actually not been that long.

For someone who had been within the Ghost Realm for more than ten thousand years, his age was truly insignificant.

Mo Lian kept looking at the portrait with some interest. She could not recognize the appearance but was thinking of where such a young ghost could have hidden, or if it had been consumed already.

”What was his personality like? Most ghosts who enter the Ghost Realm will be somewhat timid at the very beginning and hide away from others to gather strength. They are cautious and willing to take the path of a slow advance, but there is one place where new ghosts can grow rapidly. Unfortunately, the danger involved with entering this area is also great. Only one or two out of a hundred ghosts will survive.”

Xue Wei could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. He had not heard of this area before, but after considering the short time he had spent in the Ghost Realm, he realized that it was rather reasonable.

He frowned as he began to consider Tie Haolong's personality. Although his memories were gone, his personality would remain.

He had always been a confident figure who would boldly advance. Although he was unwilling to throw his life away for no purpose, he would be willing to go against the sky for what he believed in.

When he was thinking of his action to go against his Kingdom for the sake of Xue Wei, even to the point of dying to ensure his safety, there was no doubt of where he would be hiding now.

”Let us enter that area.”

Xue Wei's eyes grew firm upon realizing that the usually steady young man was actually hot-blooded and willing to risk anything for what he believed in. He would be able to fit into such an area very well.
