Chapter 1313: Green Ghost’s Transformation

After leaving the Yu Clan’s encampment, Xiang Shaoyun did not leave the fort directly. He wanted to wait for Lady Shura. He was confident that she would be fine. In any case, he also needed to make use of the thick devilish energy around the fort to further his devil cultivation. He wasn’t too far away from the Devil Saint Realm.

Although he would find himself unwelcomed among humans if it was exposed that he also cultivated devilish energy, devil cultivation could serve as a trump card that would save his life during critical moments.

Before he knew it, half a month passed. Lady Shura had finally returned from the Devil Domain. When she lost contact with the Overlord Legion in the Devil Domain, she was still an eighth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. She had now reached first-stage Soul Foundation Realm, which was quite a big improvement.

She no longer wore the mask she used to wear all the time. Her seductive appeal, brown skin, and athletic body could provoke the primal desire to conquer in all men. When she appeared, many men wanted to hit on him. But they all withdrew upon seeing her cold and detached expression.

Xiang Shaoyun had been waiting at the exit. The moment Lady Shura appeared, he walked up to her and asked in a concerned manner, “Is everything fine?”

When Lady Shura saw Xiang Shaoyun, a gentle smile appeared on her cold face, “I’m fine. Sorry for making you worried, overlord.”

“Um. Let’s go back,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

The surrounding men who were checking out Lady Shura howled in grief. Their hatred for Xiang Shaoyun deepened. He was conquering one beauty after another. They even started feeling like he was a bully.

Before Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura could go far, some masked people appeared before them. They respectfully said, “Young Master Xiang, Lady Shura, the sect master wishes to meet you.”

Here, only Ghostface Sect members would be walking around with masks. Lady Shura did not give a reply immediately. Instead, she looked at Xiang Shaoyun, awaiting his answer.

After a slight hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun said, “Sure, let’s go meet Green Ghost.”

He then left the fort with Lady Shura and the Xiang Clan. After returning to Bloodsin City, he headed straight for the Ghostface Sect. The Xiang Clan members did not follow him into the Ghostface Sect. Instead, they waited outside the sect.

When Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura approached the main hall, Green Ghost walked out from inside and said, “Young Master Xiang, Lady Shura, you’re here!”

Lady Shura greeted, “Greetings, sect master.”

“There’s no need to be so courteous with your family,” said Green Ghost. It was rare to see him so friendly.

Xiang Shaoyun cupped his hands and greeted Green Ghost, “Lord Green Ghost, it has been a while. You still look as good as ever.”

Xiang Shaoyun didn’t really like Green Ghost that much. Of course, he didn’t dislike Green Ghost either. No matter what, Green Ghost was still Devouring Ghost’s disciple.

“Young Master Xiang is too kind. I’m an old man. The future belongs to you,” said Green Ghost politely. “Come, let’s have a seat inside the hall.”

Xiang Shaoyun didn’t know why Green Ghost was being so polite, but he could guess that Green Ghost definitely had something important to discuss with him. Inside the hall, Green Ghost asked about Devouring Ghost. Xiang Shaoyun did not hide anything and told him the truth.

“Lord Green Ghost, I believe you’re not meeting us just to ask about Devouring Ghost. Just get straight to the point,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He wasn’t interested in wasting more time beating around the bush.

Green Ghost sank into a short silence before he said, “Lady Shura, leave for a bit. Allow me to have a chat with Young Master Xiang.”

“Go on. I’ll leave,” said Lady Shura with a nod before exiting the hall.

After she left, Green Ghost went straight to the point. “I know that you have regained your sect. I greatly regret the fact that I wasn’t able to help back then. I hope to forge an alliance with you. I wonder if you’ll be willing to agree?”

Back then, he had refused Devouring Ghost’s request to help Xiang Shaoyun with retaking the Ziling Sect. He was already used to his life as a leader. How would he be willing to hand over the leadership to someone else so easily?

But the more Green Ghost heard about Xiang Shaoyun, the more his mind changed. Eventually, Xiang Shaoyun had become the Devil Hunting Expedition’s champion, causing Green Ghost to regret his previous decision.

He had been paying attention to Xiang Shaoyun over the years. From a King Realm cultivator, Xiang Shaoyun had advanced at a terrifying speed and taken only 10 years to reach the Soul Foundation Realm.

As the Devil Hunting Expedition’s champion, it was also undeniable that Xiang Shaoyun had outstanding combat strength. After entering the Saintforce Realm, he would definitely experience rapid growth and reach the Heaven Battling Realm. As Xiang Dingtian reincarnated, he could very well reach the Rebirth Realm, also known as the God Realm, in the future.

And thus, Green Ghost was filled with regret. Why would he feel regretful? It was because if he relied on himself, reaching the Rebirth Realm would be almost impossible. But if he could obtain Xiang Shaoyun’s help in the future, he would have a better chance at reaching the Rebirth Realm.

That was the reason for his change in attitude. After all, one wouldn’t obtain immortality before becoming a God. Even a Great Saint would have a limited lifespan. Green Ghost had reached the very peak of the Saint Realm. Taking even one step forward was extremely difficult. He badly needed some guidance. Although Xiang Shaoyun was still quite weak, he was once a Rebirth Realm expert. An expert like this would be able to provide Green Ghost with the required guidance.

Xiang Shaoyun had a slightly complicated look in his eyes as he said, “Alliance? Seems like a good idea.”

“That’s right. The Ghostface Sect has 5,000 members and countless experts. If you agree, we will be allies from now on. We can then help each other when required. That would be beneficial for both of us. What do you think?”

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, “Lord Green Ghost, you should know that the Ziling Sect is still growing. We are still lacking in terms of members. I’m afraid we are unworthy of being your ally.”

“Not at all. With your genius in cultivation and the help of my master and the others, you will be able to soar to the heavens soon enough,” said Green Ghost flatteringly.

Xiang Shaoyun sank into thought before saying, “Forget the alliance. Your Ghostface Sect is located in Bloodsin City, while I’m based in Ziling City. We’re too far away from each other. It’s pointless to ally with each other.”

Green Ghost was slightly stunned. He had not imagined that his suggestion would be rejected.

“Of course, if the Ghostface Sect wishes to become the Ziling Sect’s subsidiary organization, I might consider agreeing,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
