"Stronger?"
Ye Guichen was also sowhat shocked in his heart; could there be two pythons here?
Moreover, this python could easily swallow a Qi Refiner, it might really have beco a spirit.
Just then, Ye Guichen sensed the presence of Gui Tuo and waved his hand, signaling Gongyang Lang to leave first.
Gongyang Lang nodded and quickly stepped out, just in ti to encounter Hua Xiangrong.
"What's going on?" Hua Xiangrong's neck scratch was no longer bleeding, but her face was sowhat pale.
The shadow of Chu Huai Nan was clearly still lingering in her heart.
Hua Xiangrong was sure that if things went wrong, Chu Huai Nan would definitely kill her without hesitation.
Gongyang Lang had also recovered, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, there might be a devil."
"A devil?" Hua Xiangrong's pupils slightly shrank, sowhat incredulous, "I've been here for so many years without any anomalies; how could a devil suddenly appear?"
Gongyang Lang still shook his head and stared at Hua Xiangrong, his expression becoming serious, "Do you know how Mr. Ye killed Chu Huai Nan's subordinates earlier?"
Hua Xiangrong had observed the corpses of the deceased slightly, their vitality completely gone, died in terrifying ways, and perhaps they seed as though they were dead for a long ti.
It wouldn't be long before their bodies started to decay.
Without responding to Gongyang Lang's words, Hua Xiangrong asked in return, "Who exactly is this Ye Guichen?"
The thod of killing was sothing Hua Xiangrong had never heard of before.
Silent and extrely terrifying.
If she previously thought Ye Guichen was just an Alchemy genius, she'd surely be mistaken.
Such strange techniques were beyond her comprehension.
Draining the vitality of over a dozen people in an instant, and without anyone noticing – even the strongest Qi Refiner she's seen couldn't manage it.
If he's rely the Son of Nether Emperor, that identity seems inexplicable.
Gongyang Lang also had a newfound respect for Ye Guichen.
"I'm not sure who he is, but from the ti spent with him, his kindness to is genuine, and giving the Pei Yuan Pill is also genuine. Before, killing him seed effortless, but now, I realize how ridiculous I was."
"There's a type of person in this world who cannot be judged by common sense; though he hasn't beco a Qi Refiner, he could probably kill you or effortlessly."
At this, Gongyang Lang took a deep breath, looked at Hua Xiangrong, and said, "Do you still doubt my words from before?"
For them, Qi Refiners, respect for the strong is heartfelt.
Moreover, Hua Xiangrong has now antagonized the Seven Kings because of Ye Guichen, likely soon leading the Seven Kings to fiercely attack her.
If she doesn't follow closely with Ye Guichen, Hua Xiangrong may soon be killed by the Seven Kings' people.
"He indeed made see him in a new light." After a long while, Hua Xiangrong spoke from her heart, "In my life, I've never admired anyone, and few could make feel obscure. But he made have this obscure feeling, and with deeper understanding, it becos increasingly unsettling. Before, I doubted his ascension as the new Nether Emperor, but now I have reason to believe those Seven Kings wouldn't be his match—dealing with them might just be a breeze."
If soone heard Hua Xiangrong say this, they'd be shocked.
But Hua Xiangrong knew she wasn't exaggerating at all.
Though Ye Guichen is young, his planning and ans are beyond her comprehension.
His calmness even inspired Hua Xiangrong's admiration.
She even thought, just as high-level Qi Refiners might stand before him, they probably weren't his match.
Gongyang Lang and Hua Xiangrong faced each other silently.
At this mont, they resembled two guards standing outside the pavilion, not daring to rush in.
If others in the Ghost Market saw the Great Demon King revering soone like this, they'd be stunned.
Inside the pavilion.
Gui Tuo's figure gradually appeared.
"How is it?" Ye Guichen spoke.
Gui Tuo's face was sowhat serious, even his ghostly appearance seed illusory, appearing weaker.
He whispered, "Mr. Ye, it's truly a devil!"
"What?" Although Ye Guichen had guesses, hearing Gui Tuo confirm it personally, he was slightly surprised, "How could a devil be in a place like the Ghost Market? Moreover, Hua Xiangrong has been here for so long, why has she never discovered it?"
Gui Tuo shook his head, expressing puzzlent, but continued, "I don't know the power level or origins of the opponent. Yet when it swallowed Chu Huai Nan, I clearly sensed a wave of unstable aura. Though I'm not familiar with Devil Cultivators, I suspect it's in a crucial stage of refining."
"This important stage requires more than consuming ordinary cultivators and it needs to consu a powerful Qi Refiner to assist its advancent. This is why it risked suddenly erging and devoured Chu Huai Nan in a swift move."
Ye Guichen pondered for a mont, voicing his doubt, "Why hadn't it made a move before?"
Gui Tuo speculated, "Based on our prior investigation, it should be the one devouring those corpses from the lake. It hadn't initiated food searching, perhaps not wanting to expose its identity or fearing soone powerful. Judging by now, the first possibility seems large because even the Ghost Market's powerful ones haven't been intimidating enough for a Snake Demon. Why there's a Snake Demon here, I don't know, but I am certain, confronting the Snake Demon ans only a dead end for ."
"The Snake Demon can counter you in your form?" Ye Guichen was astonished.
Logically, Gui Tuo, as a ghost, should be immune to physical harm. Even a Qi Refiner needs sothing to restrain ghostly entities to target Gui Tuo, otherwise, rely personal strength wouldn't suffice against Gui Tuo.
Gui Tuo coughed, "I'm only partially knowledgeable about Devil Cultivators, but since it's a Devil Cultivator, it might be similar to Ghost Cultivators like . Their existence should exceed that of Qi Refiners, and if it can form Spiritual Sense, its soul might be strong enough to counter ghostly entities."
Ye Guichen nodded lightly upon hearing this.
The sudden appearance of the giant python slightly derailed Ye Guichen's plans.
But for now, the python didn't seem intent on reckless consumption, having disappeared after swallowing Chu Huai Nan.
Gui Tuo, out of fear of the opponent's strong aura, only tracked halfway before daring not to follow further.
"Hua Xiangrong, spread the rumor that King Qin colluded with the Ghost Market and slaughtered all of Chu Huai Nan's n." After a silent mont, Ye Guichen called out.
Seemingly, Yanran had already considered Hua Xiangrong as a subordinate.
