The Second Elder narrated for a while, but seeing that the Jade-faced Judge didn't respond at all, he turned his head in surprise, only to find the Jade-faced Judge staring intently at the eight stone coffins.
"What are you doing?" the Second Elder asked with surprise, "Why are you looking at the other stone coffins? Those boundary points have all been sealed and can't be accessed. The only one that can be entered is the Heavenly Road. Moreover, this is a boundary point leading to the Heavenly Realm. Once we enter, even if we drift into the Heavenly Realm, nothing will happen. After all, we're working for the Heavenly Court; there's incense burning in the Heavenly Realm for us!"
The Jade-faced Judge still paid no heed to the Second Elder's boastful chatter. His gaze suddenly fixed on one of the stone coffins, and his expression turned ecstatic.
Noticing sothing amiss with the Jade-faced Judge, the Second Elder frowned, "Ge Lao, what's wrong with you?"
The Jade-faced Judge still did not speak. Instead, he walked to the stone coffin and gently started to touch it. That feeling was as if he had found sothing he long missed, extrely joyous.
"What are you doing?" The Second Elder frowned, walked over, and tugged at the Jade-faced Judge's sleeve, "What are you up to?"
"Ah!" The Jade-faced Judge suddenly turned his head, letting out an angry shout at the Second Elder. His originally handso face suddenly beca extrely ferocious, his entire face transford, resembling an evil spirit, terribly frightening.
The Second Elder was startled, instinctively stepped back a few steps, and pointed at the Jade-faced Judge in shock, "You... you... what's happened to you..."
The grotesqueness on the Jade-faced Judge's face gradually faded, returning to his original appearance. However, in his eyes, there was now endless joy and mockery.
Glancing at the Second Elder, the Jade-faced Judge sneered, "What, are you scared?"
At this mont, the Second Elder finally ca to his senses, pointing at the Jade-faced Judge anxiously, "Ge Lao, what happened to you just now?"
"What happened?" The Jade-faced Judge laughed heartily, his visage suddenly transford again, reverting to that ghostly appearance.
"This is my true face!" the Jade-faced Judge said with a sinister expression.
The Second Elder stared at the Jade-faced Judge dumbfounded, unable to react for a long ti. He really could not understand what was going on. How could the Jade-faced Judge look like this? This was not a human!
Thinking of this, a realization suddenly struck the Second Elder, and he trembled as he pointed at the Jade-faced Judge, "You... what exactly are you?"
"What, have you finally figured it out?" The Jade-faced Judge laughed, "That's right, I'm not human. I co from the Ghost Realm, and I am a mber of the Ghost Clan!"
"What!?" The Second Elder was taken aback. Of course, he had heard of the Ghost Realm, which was one of the Nine Realms, a similar existence to the Heavenly Realm.
Of course, this Ghost Realm was different from traditional ghosts. The mbers of the Ghost Realm, because of their appearance resembling evil spirits, are called the Ghost Realm. In fact, the people of the Ghost Realm have extrely high talent, not much inferior to the Heavenly Realm, so they are a force that can rival the Heavenly Realm.
However, the Jade-faced Judge turned out to be from the Ghost Realm; what on earth was going on?
The Second Elder was utterly shocked. He could not comprehend what was happening at all!
The Jade-faced Judge was full of pride. He took out a round bead and casually placed it in the air. Then, he laid down an array around the bead, which began to absorb the surrounding power.
"I still have so ti; let chat with you for a while!" The Jade-faced Judge walked over to the Second Elder with a slight smile, "Do you know why I've done so much?"
The Second Elder shook his head. The Jade-faced Judge smiled faintly and said, "Second Elder, you truly are hopelessly stupid. I'm a mber of the Ghost Realm. Don't you see the purpose? It is certainly to break the seals at the boundary points and connect the Ghost Realm with the Human World!"
Finally coming to his senses, the Second Elder stared at Ge Kaiyang in shock, trembling, "You... you're a mber of the Ghost Realm, why are you in the Human World? Why are you in this form? Why... doesn't anyone know?"
"What's so impossible about it?" The Jade-faced Judge shrugged, "I'm not the only Otherworld mber staying in the Human World. After the Eight Realms located the boundary points, every realm dispatched quite a few people into the Human World. Later, when war broke out, the boundary points were sealed one after another. We who remained here to secure our lives could only pretend to be mbers of the Human World to survive. Otherwise, could we have survived till now? Actually, in this world, aren't there many Otherworld mbers disguised as humans besides ?"
The Second Elder inwardly agreed with the Jade-faced Judge, as he had said, there were indeed quite a number of Otherworld mbers disguised as humans. Such matters were most prevalent overseas, so upon careful thought, this wasn't really anything unusual.
"You did all this just to trick into revealing the locations of the eight boundary points?" The Second Elder expressed unwillingness, "You never intended to assist ?"
"What a joke!" The Jade-faced Judge sneered, "Second Elder, don't you get it yet? Not only did I not assist you, but your entire situation now was orchestrated by . Becoming enemies with Su Yang, siding with the Heavenly Court, destroying the Buddha Palace, annihilating Yan Gui City, then investigating the Ends of the Earth, falling out with Sect Leader Qi, being betrayed by Lingxiao Pavilion and the Ends of the Earth—all of it was planned by . Don't you understand?"
The Second Elder nearly went mad, roaring, "Jade-faced Judge, you... you actually set up!?"
"Just figuring it out now?" The Jade-faced Judge laughed, "Second Elder, isn't it a bit late? The four Major Sects have already splintered, and you're just realizing that I set you up? Haha, you're ridiculously foolish. With your wits, how could you possibly contend with Su Yang?"
The Second Elder turned livid with rage, raising his voice, "So you an to say that the betrayal of Lingxiao Pavilion and the Ends of the Earth was all your doing as well?"
"What else?" The Jade-faced Judge grinned, "I bribed their people long ago, fabricated those letters to fra you. Even your own junior brother was bought off by . Otherwise, why would those two major sects act against you? Second Elder, you are truly foolish. Nearly got killed without considering the causes and effects, always just thinking about their betrayal and plotting revenge. How could soone like you achieve great things?"
The Second Elder was utterly bewildered. Only now did he understand that from start to finish, he was being toyed with at the hands of the Jade-faced Judge!
