    “I can let your friend leave the venue of the trade fair, but how far it can run depends on its own luck.”


    Lan Ling said seriously, “You know, it’s precisely because you’re the higher void (level) and we don’t want to cause too much bloodshed, which is why we have such an oue. But it’s also just because you’re both ghost beast, red-clothed people cannot to sit back and watch any of you escape.”


    The ck shadow was silent.


    Only the right to leave the venue of the trade fair..


    This was far from enough for him.


    Because he knew that there would definitely be red-clothed people and white-clothed people encircled outside.


    At that time, it was still uncertain whether the crescent scorpion tail would really be able to sessfully break out.


    However, even if the concessions given by red-clothed people were far from enough in the eyes of the ck shadow, it was already earth-shattering news to everyone in the arena.


    “red-clothed people and ghost beast can also negotiated with each other?”


    “No way. In my opinion, white-clothed people and red-clothed people had made such a big scene this time, is there really no higher void (level) ?”


    “It’s fine as long as we don’t directly take them down. What’s there to talk about? Our little lives are still in this ce!”


    “Shut up! Can’t you see that a red-clothed people has already been taken down?”


    “The other party is obviously not simple...”


    As the old saying goes.


    One should stand aloof from things of no personal interest


    However, when a ghost beast really appeared at the trade fair and it was a ghost beast at the higher void (level) .


    At this moment, the Spiritual Cultivator at the scene could be said to have amon enemy. They all wanted to first get rid of this malignant tumor that threatened the social order of mankind.


    “Roar...”


    In the private room, under the suppression of the several great Cutting Path (stage) , the scorpion-tailed ghost beast did not have any extra strength to resist. She could only roar in a low voice to express her resistence.


    However, the ck shadow did not care about this.


    He listened to the chattering people beside him and was not angry at all, rather he spoke to Lan Ling again, “It is far from enough to just leave the venue of the trade fair. I can do all of these easily. I can even make us two leave together.”


    Lan Ling frowned, “From what you said, do you have any other requests?”


    The ck shadow pointed at the scorpion’s tail, “Let her leave. give her another two hours. As for the rest, I don’t care what the red-clothed people does.”


    “Impossible!”Lan Ling denied tly.


    Two hours.


    Cutting Path (stage) risked his life to escape at full speed could have them even escape from Dongtianwang city... No, from the Eastern Sky Realm to another realm!


    Seeing that Lan Ling refused, the ck shadow didn’t say anything.


    He suddenly pointed to the sky.


    The next second.


    Without the slightest Spiritual Source fluctuation, the several great Guarding Array that covered the trade fair suddenly exploded.


    “Rumble –”


    After a shocking explosion.


    The sparkling and translucent barrier fragments slowly withered and shattered from the sky.


    The arena suddenly turned into silence.


    Everyone looked at this scene in shock.


    Just now, they had vowed to attack with their lives. Even if they used all their strength, they would still be unable to break this multipleyers of spirit-gathering array


    The ghost beast shattered them with a single finger?


    “The spirit-gathering array has shattered...”


    When someone finally said this, everyone felt an itch in their hearts.


    The spirit-gathering array had shattered.


    Based on the strength of everyone present, as long as they ran separately, white-clothed people and red-clothed people wouldn’t be able to stop them.


    Even if they could stop a portion of them, there would definitely be people who could secretly escape from the trial dilemma.


    However, with the spirit-gathering array in cover, everyone dared not to resist.


    Now that the spirit-gathering array had shattered, even the red-clothed Night Guardian had been taken down. Everyone looked at Lan Ling and the ck shadow who were confronting each other in the private room in front of them, and suddenly, they did not dare to act rashly.


    Humans were actually like this many times..


    When they were separated by ayer of absolute defence, everyone dared to open their mouths and let loose their voices to curse, fight, and mour.


    But once the barrier was removed, they would really have to face each other face to face.


    Some things that they had forgotten while crazily mouring under the protectionyers immediately surged back into their minds.


    For example, order.


    Or for example, the previous sentence of the night guardian, “Everyone, if there are any troublemakers, treat them as the aplices of the ghost beast and implicate the whole ns!”


    “Run, what are you waiting for? Even the barrier is now broken...”at this moment, someone was encouraging them in a low voice.


    “That’s right, run. This is a great opportunity, why aren’t you running?”Someone seconded.


    “Run!”


    “Go!”


    “As long as we escape in all directions, white-clothed people and red-clothed people won’t be able to stop us. Thew won’t punish everyone. Furthermore, I’m not guilty, why should I ept judgement from the red-clothed people”


    “Yes, then run!”


    “Alright, I’ll count. Everyone, let’s go. Three, two, one...”


    “Run!”


    No one dared to move.


    Someone’s calf was instigated to lift off the ground.


    However, when they turned around, they realized that everyone was waiting, waiting for the first one to take the lead.


    However, no one took the lead!


    Therefore, even if someone really wanted to, they indeed lifted their feet.


    In the next second, their faces twitched, and the corners of their lips curled up. They cursed as they returned to their original positions.


    “Sect Leader Leng, you take the lead!”


    Some people were indignant. If no one took the lead, who would dare to move?


    Before the barrier was broken, Leng Qi, Great Xuantian Sect Leader, was the first to resist.


    But now, he didn’t even want to raise his feet.


    How could this be?


    “You want to im the moral high ground against me?”Leng Qi couldn’t help butugh. “If you want to run, then run. In any case, I won’t move.”


    “That’s not what you said just now!”Someone immediately said angrily.


    Leng Qi swept his gaze over, “That’s right. I didn’t know whether Master Cheng’s method was just an excuse. Now that the ghost beast hase out, why don’t you try running?”


    Try...


    Everyone frowned and fell silent.


    If you try, you’ll die!


    ...


    Themotion in the middle of the trade fair and the heavy atmosphere in the private room formed a stark contrast.


    Initially, Lan Ling was worried that the moment the barrier was broken, everyone present would riot.


    But now that everyone had turned into cowards, she couldn’t help but rejoice.


    The arena was not stirred up by the ck shadow this time was all because of the weakness of human nature.


    “What a huge formation!”


    After breaking the barrier, the ck shadow’s eyes swept upwards as he said solemnly.


    He had clearly seen how big the white-clothed and red-clothed people’s encirclement was this time.


    Looking at Lan Ling again, the ck shadow said solemnly, “You still have three breaths to consider. Either you give her two hours, and I’ll surrender and follow you, or everyone present... will be buried together with you!”


    Lan Ling’s eyelids twitched when she heard this.


    She had already greatly overestimated the strength of the ghost beast in this ce, but the other party’s ability to break the barrier with one finger had truly stunned her.


    “Two hours is absolutely impossible.” Lan Ling replied seriously.


    “Three!”


    The ck shadow did not care and started counting.


    This time, the people outside the arena panicked.


    Someone cried out in shock, “Senior red-clothed people, if you can’t protect us, let us leave first. This is a war between the red-clothed people and the ghost beast, what right do you have to use us as a bet?”


    “Two!”


    Originally, there were still people who were calm.


    However, when the death god’s horn sounded again without any exnation, everyone couldn’t withstand the pressure.


    Even Leng Qi couldn’t help but retreat a little.


    “Senior red-clothed people!”


    Someone had already jumped up in shock, “Either agree to him, or I’m leaving first! What the f*ck, what the f*ck is going on? I’ve been living for so long that I haven’t even touched a single woman. Do you want me to be buried here with you?”


    Lan Ling looked back and shouted angrily.


    “Shut up!”


    However, this time, there were even more sounds of resistance. They were cursing and swearing and could not stop.


    “One!”


    The ck shadow’s expression turned cold as he raised both of his hands high up.


    At that moment, everyone in the scene gathered their strength and stood up. It was as if they were going to directly grow wings and escape in the next second.


    “I promise to give her the time of one burning incense!”


    Lan Ling closed her eyes and said, “However, I can only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. As for the rest of the punishment, I will bear it alone.”


    Seeing that the ck figure’s hands were still raised, he was unmoved.


    Lan Ling hurriedly said again, “I am themander of the red-clothed people. This is my highest authority. If you don’t agree, no one can give you more than that!”


    When the ck shadow heard this, the attack in the hands was finally put to a stop.


    At this moment, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.


    However, in the next breath, the ck shadow attacked again.


    In a sh, a jet-ck shadow shot into the sky and bloomed into the shape of a ck octopus.


    “Oh F*ck!”


    Someone was shocked and quickly flew away.


    When they were halfway there, they realized that it was not the ck shadow who wanted everyone to die with him, but was merely a signal, so they returned to the ground in embarrassment.


    “A signal...” Lan Ling’s eyes were filled with anger, “What are you doing?”


    The ck shadow replied indifferently, “I agreed to your deal, taking the time for one incense stick to burn.”


    Lan Ling looked at the ck octopus signal above her, “What about this?”


    The ck shadow was unmoved, “The deal between us is just a deal between us. It doesn’t involve any other means. I’ve never said that if I don’t make a move, no one else can.”


    Everyone was shocked when they heard this.


    The other party was calling for help?


    “Don’t worry, there’s no more ghost beast.”


    The ck shadow smiled as if he could read everyone’s thoughts,”Do you really think that a mere Dongtianwang city can hide more ghost beasts besides us?”


    Lan Ling frowned.


    At this moment, messages sent by the white-clothed people rang in her ears:


    East City District, South City District, North City District. When the signal of the octopus rose, almost all of the highest faction in thend realm started to riot.


    Lan Ling immediately understood.


    This was the ck shadow’s many years of power reserve.


    He was afraid that when the army was defeated, he would have to share a part of the pursuit force.


    “It’s just a drop in the bucket...”Lan Ling shook her head in disappointment.


    The ck shadow said indifferently, “Consider it myst gift to you. You don’t need to spend any more effort to find and remove it.”


    Lan Ling asked, “Do you really think that she can run away in the time of one burning incense?”


    The ck shadow said, “At least I fought for it.”


    Then, he looked at the scorpion-tailed ghost beast.


    At this moment, the eyes of the scorpion-tailed ghost beast with scarlet eyes were already filled with tears which shocked everyone.


    Ghost beast actually had feelings?


    “Let’s go. In the time of one burning incense, we’ll meet again if we’re fated.”


    At this moment, the ck shadow’s body suddenly solidified as he spoke.


    He had transformed into a middle-aged man who was extremely handsome, and his hair was jet-ck, straggled down casually.


    His entire body was ck as well, and within the awe-inspiring evil, there was only a hint of gentleness left. He could only look back at the scorpion-tailed ghost beast.


    “Roar!”


    The scorpion-tailed ghost beast let out a furious roar, and the surrounding space instantly copsed.


    Cheng Ji hurriedly made a move to prevent the shattered space from harming the people at the trade fair.


    After that, everyone saw that the scorpion-tailed ghost beast, after exchanging a deep nce, no longer had any lingering feelings. It turned around and fled into the spatial fragment.


    WIth so much reluctance leave.


    There was no turning back.


    Everyone sighed as they watched.


    Some peoplemented that the ghost beast was snobbish. As expected, it was only the final betrayal that came in exchange for the deep affection.


    However, most people knew in their hearts that if they dragged this out any longer, neither of the two ghost beasts would be able to escape!


    “Come.”


    The ck-haired man watched his partner leave and rose into the air.


    This movement shocked everyone and they immediately became alert.


    However, he did not make a move. He only ced his hands behind his back and flew higher and higher. Finally, he looked longingly at the majestic Dongtianwang city below.


    More than ten years..


    Even a person could develop feelings, let alone a ghost beast?


    “It’s the time for an incense stick to burn.”


    The ck-haired man retracted his gaze and said, “When the time is up, I will follow you.”


    Lan Ling was anxious.


    This waspletely different from what they had agreed on.


    However, the ck-haired man had already ignored her. He turned his head to look at the endless void. “Since I’ve said it, you should be able to trust my words, right, Rao Yaoyao?”


    The void rippled and a woman appeared.


    Rao Yaoyao carried the Xuan Cang Spiritual Sword on her back and smiled, “Of course, I can wait for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.”


    ...


    Box 209.


    When the ck-haired man revealed himself, Xin Gugu could no longer sit still.


    “Senior Wu Xia...”


    He recognized him.


    This person was one of the previous elders of Xu Yue Grey Pce.


    However, because he had disobeyed the orders of the pce, he chose to defect and had not returned to Xu Yue Grey Pce for more than ten years.


    In that case, the other person could only be his partner, elder Yue Xie..


    “Do you know him?”Mo Mo asked through telepathicmunication again.


    Xin Gugu felt something was wrong again.


    Something was very wrong!


    Was this guy stupid enough to make a move with Power of the Sovereign... Mo Mo had to ask him clearly.


    “I know him.”


    This time, Xin Gugu replied with certainty.


    It couldn’t be said that he didn’t know him. They were simply too familiar with each other!


    Wu Xia and Yue Xie were forbidden characters in the Xu Yue Grey Pce, but they were also legends.


    In the early-stage of the Xu Yue Grey Pce’s establishment, the aim was to protect the remaining ghost beast on the continent.


    This included only good ghost beast.


    However, as the development progressed and more ghost beast joined, the Xu Yue Grey Pce gradually became a mix of fish and dragons.


    As the pce grew stronger, the factions in the pce inevitably began to fight over factions.


    In the end, two factions gradually split up.


    One faction was the conservative faction that still adhered to the early-stage goal of building the pce.


    The other faction was the main faction that was dissatisfied with the red-clothed people’s ban and wanted to recruit more powerful ghost beast to join them.


    As it developed until now, the red-clothed people’s ban became stronger and stronger.


    At this moment, there were very few people in the conservative faction of Xu Yue Grey Pce who could stick to their own ideas.


    Although the pce master of the Xu Yue Grey Pce could only be the sessor of the conservative faction.


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    In fact, most of the power in the pce had been taken over by the people of the faction of war.


    Wu Xia and Yue Xie were the elders of the conservative faction more than ten years ago.


    However, after the faction of war took over the power, they kept issuing orders to corrupt orders given by the elders of the conservative faction.


    Because of these orders, some people chose to submit.


    And some others chose to leave.


    Wu Xia and the Yue Xie were naturally the representatives of those people.
