Lü Zhong looked at the bone sword, his face showing surprise.
He never expected that the way to open the giant stone was to directly break it apart.
However, if it was just the bone sword, why had he hidden it so deeply back then?
Lü Zhong furrowed his brow slightly, feeling puzzled in his heart.
Ran Jingjing held the bone sword in her hands, sobbing as she spoke: "This bone sword was forged from one of my father’s ribs."
"I originally planned to give it to you."
"I even intentionally placed it in the giant stone to surprise you."
"But you... After coming out of the secret realm, you told that this was a treasure you found there!"
"At that ti, I nearly killed you on the spot, do you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Zhong couldn't help but feel slightly moved.
His mind recalled past events.
To be honest, back then, Ran Jingjing’s father, Ran Kongzhi, had indeed been very kind to him.
But unfortunately, Lü Zhong’s talent was limited, and the Earth Ghost Realm was already his limit.
The reason he stepped forward was because, at that ti, he had been the previous owner of the Ghost Devouring Art.
Yes, it was the ghost technique practiced by Xin Lan Ying, Xin Wan'en's younger sister.
When Lü Zhong reached the Heavenly Ghost Realm, Ran Kongzhi discovered the anomaly.
He flew into a rage and harshly scolded Lü Zhong.
He claid that the Ghost Devouring Art went against the heavenly order.
While it seed to rapidly improve one's cultivation, in reality, ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) it carried enormous drawbacks.
When too many different soul energies rged and broke the balance,
the result could be a complete loss of cultivation, or even death by explosion.
Such a ghost technique must never be practiced again!"
Ran Kongzhi imdiately threw away the Ghost Devouring Art in Lü Zhong’s hands.
This was also the reason why, after thousands of years, Xin Lan Ying was fortunate enough to obtain the true form of this ghost technique.
Lü Zhong’s personality was extre, and although he appeared regretful at being scolded,
in reality, it planted the seeds of hatred within him.
In his view, the Ghost Devouring Art had no drawbacks at all.
It was rely that his master, Ran Kongzhi, had been alarmist!
Without the help of the Ghost Devouring Art,
Lü Zhong’s cultivation stagnated.
He hated this feeling of being stuck and yearned for power.
Thus, he set his sights on Ran Kongzhi.
At the peak of the Hell Ghost Realm, if he could devour his master’s ghost energy,
his cultivation would surely experience a massive boost.
This thought kept growing in Lü Zhong's mind.
Then, during one expedition into the secret realm, while Ran Kongzhi was exploring, Lü Zhong suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind, killing him.
He used the Ghost Devouring Art to absorb all the ghost energy from Ran Kongzhi’s body, imdiately stepping into the Hell Ghost Realm.
But there was one thing that greatly surprised Lü Zhong.
That was, when Ran Kongzhi died, he was tightly clutching a giant stone.
Lü Zhong could clearly feel the imnse power contained within it.
So, he assud that this was a treasure Ran Kongzhi had just obtained from the secret realm.
Little did he know, the true situation was that his master had wanted to gift it to him.
Lü Zhong let out a deep sigh.
Was he sad?
No, not at all. He just felt it was a bit stubborn.
Clearly, Ran Kongzhi had already reached the peak of the Hell Ghost Realm, yet he still hard his body for the sake of his disciple.
If it were him, he would never do such a thing.
Lü Zhong only cared about himself.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu more or less understood the situation.
So Lü Zhong was a disciple who killed his master.
The great hatred that Ran Jingjing spoke of was probably the vengeance for the death of her father.
To be honest, it’s really tough to be a father in the Ghost Realm.
Both Xin Wan'en and Ran Jingjing lost their fathers to murder.
It seems this is quite a dangerous profession.
At this point, the terrifying pressure caused by Lü Zhong had also attracted the attention of the Lord of Chouyang City.
He was only in the early stage of the Heavenly Ghost Realm.
Such a realm was nothing in front of Lü Zhong.
He had heard of Lü Zhong’s legend before.
Upon eting him today, he instinctively thought Lü Zhong was here to conquer Chouyang City.
Thus, he quickly arrived, with a flattering smile, and said, "I am Qian Yue, the Lord of Chouyang City. I did not know that Lord Lü was coming, I apologize for not welcoming you."
"To be honest, I have been hoping for your arrival day and night, to join your camp."
"As long as you speak, Chouyang City will fall under your command today."
Before Qian Yue could finish speaking, a black ghost claw squeezed onto his neck,
rendering him incapable of speaking another word.
Lü Zhong didn’t even glance at Qian Yue and continued to look at Ran Jingjing from afar.
In a low voice, he said, "Junior Sister, don’t bring up the past."
"Give an answer, will you be my Dao companion?"
Ran Jingjing raised her hand and gripped the bone sword in front of her!
Coldly, she said, "I only want to kill you!"
Lü Zhong’s gaze remained unflinching, and he raised his fist slightly.
Lord Qian Yue of Chouyang City exploded, dying instantly.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will let all the ghost creatures in Chouyang City, along with this male ghost, accompany you to the grave."
"This will also be a way to repay the kindness of my master’s teachings!"
Lü Zhong’s voice was cold and heartless.
As soon as his words fell, a purple barrier enveloped the entire Chouyang City.
Hearing this, Ye Yu was completely stunned.
"What the hell!"
"Is this ghost crazy?"
"Just speak your mind, why the hell do you have to annihilate all the ghosts of Chouyang City?"
"And what the hell does pointing at an?"
"To be honest, since you ca here, I haven’t even spoken a word to you."
"Now you’re targeting ?"
"Are you planning to repay your master’s teachings?"
"Are you an idiot?"
Ye Yu didn’t know that Lü Zhong had subconsciously listened to Zhao Jinqi’s words,
mistakenly thinking that Ran Jingjing was already with Ye Yu.
That’s why she rejected becoming his Dao companion.
Since that was the case, he would let Ye Yu accompany Ran Jingjing to the grave, as they’d be together forever.
This, in Lü Zhong’s mind, was a way to repay his master’s teachings, no problem there.
Of course, this line of thinking was quite bizarre.
Ran Jingjing’s face changed drastically, and she said solemnly, "Lü Zhong, this is a matter between and the Ran family, and has nothing to do with others."
"Let them go! I... I’ll go with you!"
Lü Zhong’s expression was indifferent, and he raised his hand slightly. Suddenly, purple flas erupted from the ground of Chouyang City.
In an instant, countless low-level ghost creatures began to scream in agony.
Lü Zhong, however, appeared to be deaf to the sounds, only coldly saying, "Since I said I would let all the ghost creatures here accompany you to the grave, I will never change my mind!"
"Especially him!"
As he spoke, Lü Zhong raised his hand again and pointed at Ye Yu.
