Chapter 1336 - 1336: I'll Take You to Slaughter!

"What you said makes a lot of sense, I can't refute it."

Ku Hai was speechless.

This human's actions, seemingly reckless, were meticulous to the point of being shocking.

Humans are cunning!

Ku Hai had to admit, compared to humans, the Ghost Realm creatures were simply fools.

"I... I can sign the Ghost Path Pact and recognize you as my master..."

Ku Hai offered up his last bargaining chip.

For the Ghost Realm creatures, signing a Ghost Path Pact meant they could not betray it; once betrayed, they'd be suppressed to death by the Ghost Realm!

Many Ghost Kings or Overlords ruled their subordinates using this method.

"You?"

Lin Mu chuckled lightly without saying much, but the disdain in his tone was unmistakable.

Even Ku Hai felt hopeless.

As a dignified Five-Tribulations Ghost General, he was powerful. Even in Ku Huang Territory, he was quite a figure; otherwise, Ku Yan Lord wouldn't have assigned tasks to him.

But in the face of this individual from the Heavenly Realm, his cultivation level as a Five-Tribulations Ghost General seemed a bit lacking.

"Master... No, Master, actually the vitality of Ghost Realm creatures doesn't depend on cultivation but on how much refined Ghastly Qi they have. If Master is willing to kill the Ghost Generals and let me devour the Ghastly Qi, I can quickly enhance my strength. Not to mention the Six-Tribulations Ghost General, even a Seven Tribulation Lord could be attained!"

Ku Hai wasn't lying; Ghost Realm creatures were essentially incarnations of Ghastly Qi. Devouring their kind indeed rapidly increased their power.

But in the Ghost Realm, no Ghost General dared to do this.

Once discovered by an Overlord, such a Ghost General would be executed immediately, their soul shattered, and their family implicated.

But now, for survival, Ku Hai was desperate.

Even if his soul was shattered, that would be a concern for the future.

If he couldn't demonstrate his value, he feared he had only a few days left to live!

When the Ghost Fox Lord descends, he'll meet his doom at the hands of the great Lord.

"Oh? So that's how it is, what a pity..."

Lin Mu expressed some regret. Had he known earlier, he would have left a couple of those Six-Tribulations Ghost Generals for Ku Hai to devour.

"Master, does this mean you agree?"

Ku Hai exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Mu said, "Make your Ghost Path vow."

His initial thought had been to kill Ku Hai, but now he thought he could use him.

If what Ku Hai said was true, and he could quickly enhance his strength, he'd make a decent henchman.

"Under the Ghost Path, I vow to sincerely revere, the vastness of the Sea of Death, my soul will return to all beings..."

Ku Hai, overjoyed, rushed to make his Ghost Path vow.

Upon hearing Ku Hai's vow, Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

The Ghost Path vow involved the Sea of Death.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Moreover, the mention of returning the soul to all beings seemed somewhat ill-fitting for the Ghost Realm.

The Ghost Realm creatures had little to do with returning the soul or all beings.

He vaguely suspected that perhaps during his next visit to the Ghost Realm, he could prove it.

Under the Ghost Path vow, a strand of Ghastly Qi core from Ku Hai entered Lin Mu's Sea of Consciousness.

Utilizing this strand of Ghastly Qi core, he could control Ku Hai's life and death at any time or place, even across the Ten Thousand Realms, Ku Hai wouldn't escape death.

This was once again unexpected for Lin Mu.

The Ghost Path vow could transcend the Ten Thousand Realms, not unlike the Heavenly Dao vow of the Immortal Realm.

The Ghost Realm was merely a subordinate world of the Immortal Realm, yet it possessed such power, which was surprising.

"Master, can I heal my injuries..."

Ghost creatures were made of Ghastly Qi, so their injuries could recover early, but he dared not do so, fearing Lin Mu's disapproval.

"I'll take you to slaughter!"

Lin Mu said noncommittally, flying into the sky towards the distance.

...

Ghost Fox Territory, the Lord's Mansion, White Bone Hall.

"Phew..."

The Ghost Fox Lord exhaled longingly, feeling relieved.

"The Bone Lord is finally gone..."

A Seven Tribulation Lord, yet having to dissemble with someone who had only undergone a single Heavenly Tribulation, really irked the Ghost Fox Lord.

But, due to needing a good word from the Bone Lord to the Pupil King, he had no choice but to deal with him.

Because Gui Zhan was killed, and the people of the Wind Clan were held captive, the Bone Lord lost interest in staying in the Ghost Fox Territory any longer and left early.

If not, the Ghost Fox Lord would still be tormented for some time.

"Lord..."

Just as the Ghost Fox Lord was feeling pleased, a Fourth Tribulation Ghost Soldier appeared before him.

Seeing this person, the Ghost Fox Lord's good mood vanished instantly.

Because this guy, named Gui Li, was responsible for guarding the Ghost Lantern.

Every time he appeared, it meant a Ghost General had fallen.

This guy was a symbol of bad luck.

"Say it later, let me drink a cup of wine first to calm down..."

The Ghost Fox Lord picked up a wine cup from the table, drank a mouthful of ghost wine, and then gestured for Gui Li to speak.

"Report, Lord, not long ago, eighty-three Five-Tribulations Ghost Generals, and seven Six-Tribulations Ghost Generals' Ghost Lanterns went out..."

Gui Li's words made the Ghost Fox Lord's movements paused.

"Say that again? Am I hearing things because of the torment from that Bone guy?"

Gui Li hurriedly knelt in front of the Ghost Fox Lord, whispering, "Not long ago, eighty-three Five-Tribulations Ghost Generals, and seven Six-Tribulations Ghost Generals' Ghost Lanterns went out..."

Deathly silence!

Within the White Bone Hall, there was a deathly silence.

Even the Ghost Generals standing by the side held their breath, their faces filled with shock.

How was this possible!

It wasn't a time of war to invade the Ten Thousand Realms. How could so many Ghost Generals die at once?

Could it be that Ku Huang Lord and Leng Sha Lord, those two bastards, made a preemptive attack?

This was the only thought in the Ghost Generals' minds.

If not, how could such a number fall at once!

Gui Li carefully glanced at the Ghost Fox Lord and continued, "Judging by the locations where the Ghost Lanterns went out, it seems to be on the side of Ku Huang Lord's territory..."

Lin Mu killed from the Ku Huang Territory, so those who died were Ghost Generals from that side.

"Ku Huang! I'll fight to the death with you!"

The Ghost Fox Lord erupted in anger!

He knew that Ku Huang Lord always harbored grievances against him for occupying the Tower of Myriad Realms, but he didn't expect Ku Huang Lord to be so bold as to make an unannounced attack.

Was he not afraid of being punished by the Pupil King, my lord?

"Lord, battle!"

"Ku Huang is so arrogant, let's teach him a lesson!"

"Kill him!"

"Exterminate Ku Huang Territory!"

In the White Bone Hall, the Ghost Generals yelled fiercely one by one.

They couldn't wait to wage war against Ku Huang Lord right away.

Ordinarily, randomly devouring Ghost Generals would be punished by an Overlord.

But, during a time of war, there were no such concerns.

If they were really to go to war with Ku Huang Lord, they might all have a chance to advance further.

As for defeat?

They never considered it.

Because they had occupied the Tower of Myriad Realms for a million years, and every one of them had reached a point where they could advance, yet they were forcefully suppressing it.

Compared to those wasteful ones from Ku Huang Territory, they were much stronger.

The Ghost Fox Lord had been hesitating because his position attracted envy, and rashly going to war with Ku Huang Lord might provoke the jealousy of other overlords.

But at that moment, another Three-Tribulation Ghost Soldier responsible for guarding the Ghost Lanterns came in tremblingly, whispering two sentences into Gui Li's ear.

Gui Li's face changed dramatically, and he quickly said, "Lord, we just received news that the Ten Foxes Domain camp has been attacked, and more than ten Five-Tribulations Ghost Generals have died..."

"What?!"

The Ghost Fox Lord leaped up in a rage, without any more hesitation, shouting, "Everyone, with me, charge to the Ten Foxes Domain! First, destroy the invading enemies, then annihilate Ku Huang Lord!"
