Chapter 680: Six hundred seventy-nine, one step behind

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had not left for long when a figure landed in the spot where they had just been, the same person from Skull Castle earlier.

He glanced around, raised his hand, and cast out a dark gleam. Then, the scene that had just occurred replayed before his eyes in vivid detail. Seeing the Ghost Corpse Worms killed by thunder enraged him further, his crimson eyes burning with fury, “I will find you and subject you to Soul Extraction!” These Ghost Corpse Worms were his own nurtured creations, each one a product of his countless efforts. But today, these two insignificant creatures had destroyed so many of his worms, and he could not let them get away with it.

With this thought, the Black Robed Elder vanished in a flash, heading towards Netherworld Ghost Lake in pursuit. He was certain they had not gone far; after all, Netherworld Ghost Lake was no ordinary place, and even the powerful would be affected by its attraction force.

The Red-clothed woman, who was searching for the Ghost Spirit Bead, noticed a figure flash by and felt the immense aura emanating from it, freezing her in place. There was actually a Ghost Emperor in the Netherworld Ghost Lake.

The Ghost Emperor was an almighty being in The Peaceful Realms, a legend one could only hear about in stories, yet she had witnessed one today.

Feeling a powerful suction, the Red-clothed woman quickly snapped back to attention, daring not to be distracted any longer. This was not an ordinary place; a momentary distraction could easily result in being transformed into a Spectral Orb by the Netherworld Ghost Lake.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen swiftly left Netherworld Ghost Lake, and after covering some distance, they once again entered into a spatial escape. When they emerged, their appearances had changed to that of the black-faced and green-faced Ghost Cultivators they had destroyed earlier, now exuding the aura of a Ghost King.

They were now headed to an auction, where strength was non-negotiable.

The Black Robed Elder flew out of Netherworld Ghost Lake, scanning the area with his Divine Sense during the journey, yet failing to find the pair from the image, which he found inconceivable. Since they could get to Ghost King Island, they surely wouldn’t have been sucked in by the Netherworld Ghost Lake’s pull. But along the way, not only had he failed to catch them, he couldn’t even sense their presence—it was as if they had vanished into thin air. He had never encountered such an occurrence.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen returned to Netherworld City, inquired about the specific time the auction would start, and learned that it was still more than half a month away. They decided to find an inn to stay.

The two entered an inn, and a skeletal and frail attendant hurried over to welcome them, “My apologies, our rooms are all booked.”

He didn’t know their cultivation, but he could tell from their aura that their power was nothing short of immense.

Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning nodded, ready to look elsewhere, when the Shopkeeper hurried over, bowing respectfully, “Ghost King lords, please come this way! I will arrange rooms for you right away.”

“Weren’t there no rooms available?” Song Yan Ning asked curiously.

“It just so happens there’s one left the attendant wasn’t aware of,” replied the Shopkeeper with an embarrassed smile. He wouldn’t have provided rooms for anyone else, but he dared not neglect these two before him—who in The Peaceful Realms would dare offend a Ghost King? Although above them stood the Ghost Emperor, regarded merely as legend, he had never seen a Ghost King in his many years of cultivation in The Peaceful Realms.
