Time rewinds to several moments earlier.
The myriad of ghosts clashed with the Ghost Controlling Sect, battling fiercely until the sky darkened and the void trembled.
Although the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor was at the same level as Su E, the initial fight between the two was evenly matched due to a previous sneak attack.
However, as time passed, the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor began to steadily lose ground.
“Old Ancestor, this ghost is formidable. We should quickly retrieve the Ghost Tower!”
Seeing the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor being pushed back, a Supreme Elder suggested.
“…”
The Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor fell silent, showing hesitation.
The reason the Ghost Tower wasn’t brought along this time was that they thought their opponent was the Jiuyan Sect.
Since all the specters within had been eradicated, the Ghost Tower’s strong restraining effect on ghosts was deemed unnecessary.Although the Ghost Tower was bound to her lifeblood, it was a hundred miles away from the Ghost Controlling Sect’s current location, and she couldn’t summon it directly. She would have to go and retrieve it.
But going now would be too risky.
After all, the Ghost Controlling Sect was already at a disadvantage.
If she, the Old Ancestor, left, the remaining members of the Ghost Controlling Sect might not hold out for long.
At this moment, the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor gritted her teeth in hatred as she thought of Jiang Chen.
If it weren’t for Jiang Chen destroying all the specters within the Ghost Tower, she wouldn’t be in such a predicament!
“Old Ancestor, there’s no time for hesitation. We will hold off Su E for you. Go quickly and return swiftly!” another Supreme Elder urged urgently.
“Alright! Do not engage her directly, just try to contain her. Once I retrieve the Ghost Tower, I will capture Su E inside it and refine her!” the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor instructed.
With those words, she transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Seeing this from a distance, Su E’s brows furrowed slightly.
She sensed the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor’s intentions and wanted to pursue and stop her, but she was blocked by several Supreme Elders of the ghost sect.
“Move aside or die!” Su E threatened fiercely.
Despite the threat, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, but they did not back down.
Supreme Great Elder Han Kun stepped forward and said, “Fellow Daoist Su, why should Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss and Ghost Controlling Sect be destroyed over a mere Jiang Chen? If the battle continues, one side will surely be annihilated today.”
“You don’t know shit.”
Su E cursed bluntly, “Do you know how lonely and bored I’ve been in the Ghost Abyss for a thousand years? Finally, I’ve met a man who can move my heart, so I must have him!”
“In this world, there are many good men, like my grandson…” Han Kun continued to persuade.
But before he could finish,
“Shut up! With someone like you, your grandson must be hideously ugly!” Su E interrupted sharply.
“…”
Han Kun’s face darkened.
…why the personal attack?
With the intention of stalling for time, he said, “Fellow Daoist, think about it. If Jiang Chen really was with the Ghost Controlling Sect, why would we refuse to hand him over? He’s not a disciple of our sect!”
“Who knows?” Su E said with disdain.
“What if that old hag is coveting Jiang Chen’s appearance?”
“????”
Han Kun was completely dumbfounded.
Because he knew very well that the “old hag” Su E referred to was none other than the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor.
All he wanted to say to Su E at this moment was:
Are you kidding me?
The Old Ancestor is of such an age, how could she do such an absurd thing?
You female ghost, do you think everyone is like you?
Of course, he couldn’t say these things out loud, as that would invite a beating.
Helplessly, Han Kun continued, “Fellow Daoist, I have a suggestion. Why not cease hostilities for now? You can come back to our sect with us and search for Jiang Chen yourself. How about that?”
“Do you think I’m stupid?” Su E rolled her eyes.
“Who knows where you’ve hidden Jiang Chen? Besides, I don’t want to face the might of the ghost sect’s grand formation and that Ghost Tower.”
“…”
Han Kun realized that there was just no way to have a conversation today.
But even if the conversation couldn’t continue, they had to talk. Otherwise, how would they stall for time?
“Fellow Daoist…” Han Kun was about to speak again.
But before he could finish, his voice abruptly stopped.
He suddenly realized that a ghost general comparable to the Divine Passage realm had somehow sneaked up behind him.
“Die!!”
The ghost general struck fiercely, its ghostly claw lashing out.
At close range, Han Kun wanted to resist, but he was suppressed by Su E’s Nirvana realm aura, which froze his blood and left him unable to move.
At this moment, Han Kun finally understood that while he had been stalling for some time, Su E had also taken advantage of the situation, allowing her subordinate to sneak up behind him.
The purpose was for this one fatal strike!
“You shameless female ghost!” As the ghostly claw pierced through his chest, Han Kun spat out blood.
“I’ve said it many times, I’m a ghost, what do I need a face for?” Su E sneered with disdain.
“…”
Han Kun was left speechless and died with his eyes wide open.
The next second, the ghost general withdrew its claw, and Han Kun’s lifeless body fell from the heights, only to be devoured by countless specters below.
Seeing such a scene, the surviving Supreme Elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect felt their scalps tingle.
Being consumed by specters meant that their souls would also be devoured, with no chance of reincarnation.
Seeing Su E’s gaze turn towards them, one of the Supreme Elders made a desperate move and charged at Su E.
“You female ghost! I will not let things go your way!”
Midway through, the Supreme Elder chose to self-destruct with a loud ‘bang’!
The vast spiritual energy instantly swept through the surroundings, shocking everyone in the Ghost Controlling Sect.
Facing the blast head-on, Su E stood unshaken, merely flicking her sleeve to brush away the incoming spiritual hurricane.
She then looked towards the other Supreme Elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect and asked, “Anyone else going to self-destruct?”
“…”
Hearing this, the Supreme Elders all had grim expressions.
…….
Elsewhere at the Ghost Controlling Sect.
In just an instant, the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor crossed a hundred li and arrived above the sect’s grounds.
What met her eyes was a scene of ruins.
The sect’s grand formation was shattered, disciples’ dwellings had collapsed, and the sect’s roads were cracked.
Even the sect’s main hall was gone…
Her divine consciousness quickly swept over the ruins, and she soon found Elder Li, the Supreme Elder left in charge.
At this moment, Elder Li was lying in the ruins, his breath weak and his body severely injured.
“What happened?” Landing in front of Elder Li, the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor asked.
“Cough cough…”
Elder Li let out a violent cough, and it took him a long time before he could finally utter a complete sentence.
“Old Ancestor… That Jiuyan Old Ancestor is nothing but a robber, a bandit…. He personally destroyed our sect’s grand formation and then looted all of our sect’s foundation… Even the Ghost Tower…”
“What happened to the Ghost Tower?!” The Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor exclaimed in shock.
“Even the Ghost Tower was taken away by Jiuyan Old Ancestor… No! It was the Jiuyan Demon Ancestor who took it! This person is too ruthless, he didn’t leave us any foundation at all!” Elder Li said while crying uncontrollably.
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
She couldn’t believe it! With a turn of her body, she appeared in an open space.
She clearly remembered that this place was where the Ghost Tower stood, but now… there was nothing left…
Not only was the Ghost Tower gone, even the nine chains that locked the tower, forged from high-grade profound iron, had been directly pulled out!
“Beast! Robber!”
The Ghost Controlling Old Ancestor screamed with tears streaming down her face.
