Chapter 1254 - 1251: The Foreign Ghost's Secret

Since the leader has appeared to intervene, this battle probably won't continue.

Chu Hao landed on the ground and started to walk away.

Xiao Bai suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Chu Hao turned around, coldly saying, "Do you still want to fight? I'm ready anytime."

Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "There's no need now. How much do you know about the Tao Clan? Tell me."

Chu Hao said, "No time."

Chu Hao turned and walked away, completely ignoring Xiao Bai.

Jia Heyun came up excitedly and said, "You're a god at hitting on girls, you're too amazing! How can a newbie be so awesome?"

Chu Hao laughed and said, "If it wasn't for that old man showing up, I would've beaten him half to death."

Jia Heyun laughed and said, "Don't brag. Xiao Bai's not easy to deal with; he's the boss of the Upper Stream Purple-clothed Guard, and just now his strength was probably less than 70%."

"Really? I was less than half."

"Ding... Successfully pretentious, gained seventy thousand Pretentiousness Points."

Can we have a proper conversation?

Jia Heyun continued, "Now, some people from the Purple Guard won't bother you, after all, your strength is obvious. You'll have to be careful of Jiang Haotian."

Chu Hao asked puzzled, "Why does Xiao Bai want to trouble me? What's his relationship with Jiang Haoyue?"

Jia Heyun said, "Jiang Haoyue once helped Xiao Bai, that's why he stepped in."

After leaving, he attended a class by Yin Yang Emperor powerhouses, which was truly insightful.

He learned how to better use Heavenly Master Realm Yang Energy for cultivation.

After class, as he left, Xiao Bai came again and said, "Come with me."

Chu Hao frowned and said, "Aren't you annoying?"

Xiao Bai said, "Before I was troubling you because Jiang Haoyue helped me. However, your strength exceeded my expectations; I won't help him anymore."

"Well, aren't you cold and heartless," Chu Hao said disdainfully.

Xiao Bai was speechless, this guy's focus was truly strange.

Xiao Bai helplessly said, "I'm not part of the Tao Clan, but I suspect the clan you mentioned might be a branch of the Taoist Clan. If I'm not mistaken, you're not from the Shanhai Realm, right?"

Chu Hao frowned and said, "So what do you want to say?"

Xiao Bai exposed a tattoo on his chest, featuring Yanhuang flames which resembled a fiery dragon, and seriously said, "I'm from the Yanhuang World. As far as I know, only people from Yanhuang World are aware of the Tao Clan, so you must be from Yanhuang World."

Chu Hao curiously said, "Is this tattoo serious?"

Xiao Bai awkwardly said, "This tattoo is only held by tribesmen who first arrived at Shanhai Realm, as a reminder to never forget their essence."

"Anyway, I want to talk to you. This isn't the right place."

Chu Hao eventually nodded.

The two went to Chu Hao's apartment, where Xiao Bai then said, "Is Yanhuang World still around?"

"Of course," Chu Hao replied.

Xiao Bai seemed excited, "I always thought Yanhuang World was just a legend; it's the origin place of our Taoist Clan."

Xiao Bai's ancestors had been in Shanhai Realm for so long, he had no idea what his homeland was like.

Chu Hao wasn't surprised; the Taoist Clan's origin was indeed in Yanhuang World, but that was long ago.

Chu Hao said, "When did your lineage arrive in Shanhai Realm?"

Xiao Bai said, "Five thousand years ago."

Chu Hao frowned and said, "You really are part of the group that fled."

Xiao Bai's face turned unsightly and said, "We didn't flee; our ancestors always wanted to return after leaving Yanhuang World. But the path back was sealed off, and! Our ancestors discovered the Foreign Ghost's secret here in Shanhai Realm."

What secret about the Foreign Ghost?

Chu Hao was intrigued.

Xiao Bai seriously said, "Our Taoist records state that the origin of Foreign Ghosts is more terrifying than imagined. Our ancestors who came to Shanhai Realm found out that the strongest Foreign Ghost, the First Ghost, is wreaking havoc in Yanhuang World, merely to let its true form descend."

The true form of the First Ghost descending?

Chu Hao was shocked.

"What are you talking about? When the First Ghost appeared, it was evidently its true form."

Xiao Bai shook his head, "How can you be sure the First Ghost ruining Yanhuang World was its true form?"

How indeed!

How can we be sure?

Chu Hao asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Xiao Bai said, "Of course there's evidence. My ancestors captured a Foreign Ghost in Shanhai Realm. This Foreign Ghost was among the earliest group to enter Yanhuang World, and then it came to Shanhai Realm, one of the antagonists to the founders of the Taoist Clan, and then it hid in Shanhai Realm."

The earliest batch of Foreign Ghosts, such a thing.

Chu Hao frowned and said, "Where is that Foreign Ghost?"

Xiao Bai said, "Dead, it didn't survive. After arriving in Shanhai Realm, it was severely injured and couldn't recover; it was Suiren Clan that seriously injured him, otherwise, my ancestors couldn't have taken down this ghost."

If that's true, then the First Ghost may really be just an avatar.

Chu Hao asked, "What else? I need to know everything; this concerns the survival of Yanhuang World."

Xiao Bai said, "The true aim of the First Ghost is to descend into Shanhai Realm. They stayed in Yanhuang World because it was once a forbidden zone in the Human World, making it impossible for Foreign Ghosts to descend in true form."

"It's said the Yanhuang World of the past was highly ordered, a site established by top-tier beings of Shanhai Realm to counter Foreign Ghost attacks, known as Sin Origin Land. People living in Yanhuang World were Remnant People."

Sin Origin Land?

Remnant People?

What a negative evaluation.

Chu Hao said, "White Demon Yi Mo has already arrived at Shanhai Realm."

Xiao Bai sighed, "I'm sure they'll return to Yanhuang World to break Shanhai Realm's order and let their true form descend."

Foreign Ghosts will definitely return to Yanhuang World; only by destroying it can they enter Shanhai Realm.

Chu Hao said, "I'm here in Shanhai Realm seeking support, heard a Holy Land Elder can counter Foreign Ghosts."

Xiao Bai nodded, "No! One elder might not suffice; it has to be a person at the Holy Land Lord level because! As Yanhuang World's order weakens, the First Ghost's avatar grows stronger."

These revelations are truly frustrating.

Chu Hao understood well the terror of the First Ghost, knowing how hard the Human Emperors from Yanhuang World strived to defeat him.

I never imagined he was just an avatar?

I thought surpassing the White Demon made me powerful, nearing the First Ghost level; turns out I was wrong.

Later, Chu Hao told Xiao Bai about Yanhuang World's events and matters between White Demon and Green Demon.

Xiao Bai said seriously, "I'll quickly contact our tribe regarding this matter."

Xiao Bai then left, saying before he left, "Jiang Haoyue helped me once with a small matter, so I aided him. It's Jiang Haotian who won't let you go, but now you aren't alone; if he dares to move against you, I'll make sure those brothers will pay."

This Xiao Bai's character isn't bad.

Chu Hao laughed, "I haven't paid them any attention."

Xiao Bai laughed loudly, "One who can save Yanhuang World and defeat two Foreign Ghosts, those brothers dare to provoke."

Xiao Bai left.

Talking with Xiao Bai made Chu Hao realize the gravity of the situation; the Foreign Ghosts are still set on returning to Yanhuang World.

"White Demon's avatar is definitely in some place within Shanhai Realm; hopefully, he hasn't revived Qing Mo yet."

Chu Hao's greatest worry remains the revival of the First Ghost, Qing Mo.
