<h4>Chapter 673: Ghost-wed’s Wrath</h4>


    The fight between Ghost-wed Venerable One and Yuqi the Venerable One was in full swing in the sky.


    Not only did the Venerable Ones have remarkablebat powers, but it was also not their first time fighting, hence they knew each other very well. The intense fight only eased up after half an hour.


    They went further from each other as they fought, and they eventually made careful attacks.


    Although they did not show weak impressions in words, they knew very well that they could not have a life-or-death battle under the circumstances.


    The best oue would be them taking a step back each after exchanging some blows.


    Needless to say, Ghost-wed Venerable One would not be able to hang around the Humans’ boundary for some time. 9 of the Twelve Walkers went missing, but it was a fact that the lizards ughtered the people from 2 of the Humans’ towns, so the Humans’ Venerable Ones would not sit by idly.


    If the lizards were still allowed to stay here, the Humans would lose face.


    “Boom, boom, boom...”


    Apanied by thunderous explosions, the Venerable Ones backed away tacitly.


    They red at each other from a safe distance, but they were totally unperturbed.


    “Hmph, Ghost-wed, do you still want to fight?” Yuqi the Venerable One questioned coldly.


    Ghost-wed Venerable One red at it and responded, “Yuqi, I’ll remember the Beast King Sect’s kindness.” It looked deeply at Yuqi the Venerable One, then it shed and flew back to the ground.


    Yuqi the Venerable One sneered and mumbled softly, “Many beings have been eyeing the Beast King Sect, but we remain undefeated. Heh, I’d like to see what the Lizards can do.”


    He put his hands behind his back and stood proudly in mid-air.


    Even though they did not make things clear, ording to the rule that was established between the Humans and the Beasts in Danzhou, Ghost-wed Venerable One would return to the Ghost Cave with its disciples and their disciples.


    As for how they would settle the grievance between them this time, it would be up to their fates.


    Nheless, just as Yuqi the Venerable One rxed, an extremely furious roar was hearding from below.


    It was so sonorous that even an idiot could sense anger from it.


    Yuqi the Venerable One’s face changed. He could naturally tell that it was Ghost-wed Venerable One, but he could not understand why it was going crazy.


    He shed and went down to the ground. When he was descending halfway, he suddenly saw Ghost-wed Venerable One exerting force through its legs and zoomed toward him like a strong with. Its fiery fury apanied the strong wind.


    Before Ghost-wed Venerable One could get close, Yuqi the Venerable One sensed its unequaled anger.


    “Kill—”


    Ghost-wed Venerable One’s eyes were bloodshot, and it had strong killing intent. Instead of being half-hearted, it attacked with a fearsome momentum this time as though it wanted to perish together with someone.


    Yuqi the Venerable One was taken aback, and his face could not help but change.


    ‘Did this giant lizard really go mad?’


    He turned and evaded Ghost-wed Venerable One in the air with the cleverest body technique instead of going head-on against it. Afterward, he shouted, “Ghost-wed, what are you doing?”


    Ghost-wed Venerable One paused a little and roared wrathfully, “Yuqi, where did you take my followers to? Quickly release them!”


    Yuqi the Venerable One asked as he was bewildered, “What are you talking about?”


    “Pfft! You stalled me but secretly attacked my followers and captured them. You... Despicable human—all of you deserve to die!” Ghost-wed Venerable One was infuriated.


    Yuqi the Venerable One instantly had a strange look on his face. He finally understood what happened down there.


    ‘The lizards that were summoned here by Ghost-wed went missing?’


    “Hmph, Ghost-wed, don’t make a baseless usation!” Yuqi the Venerable One expressed in a deep voice, “I’ll go down to take a look. If your bunch of disciples and their disciples dare take the opportunity to harm people, I’ll eliminate all of them!”


    Ghost-wed Venerable One stayed in mid-air and uttered with reddened eyes, “Okay, go and look.”


    With that, Yuqi the Venerable One shed to the ground. He naturally knew where the lizards were earlier, and he was surprised after hended and took a look around.


    Sure enough, the lizards had disappeared. Moreover, based on his vision and experience, he could tell that they had not taken the chance to escape but disappeared strangely.


    It was as if they were captured by a formidable power and were taken away altogether.


    There were initially tens of lizards in this spot, 3 of them being high-rank lizards. Given such a line-up, even a Spiritualist at the peak would not be able to seize them in one go. After all, while Yuqi the Venerable One and Ghost-wed Venerable One were fighting in the sky without paying attention to the lizards, they could not have pretended as if nothing happened if an intense fight urred on the ground.


    The truth was that the Venerable Ones did not notice any abnormalities throughout their fight.


    In other words, the lizards were gotten rid of by a powerful being without a sound.


    At this point, Yuqi the Venerable One could understand why Ghost-wed Venerable One flew into a rage and wanted very badly to make the 2 of them suffer.


    If he were in its shoes, he probably would have done the same.


    Yuqi the Venerable One furrowed his eyebrows and was anxious. Judging from how it happened out of nowhere, could it really be his doing? Nevertheless, if he made a move at this moment, would he not enrage Ghost-wed Venerable One? It did not seem like a good idea...


    Ghost-wed Venerable One floated in mid-air and questioned angrily, “Yuqi, what do you say?”


    Yuqit the Venerable One scoffed coldly. He was also suspicious, but he did not admit it.


    “There aren’t any traces of a fight here. Hmph, perhaps your disciples and their disciples couldn’t wait any longer and left.”


    Ghost-wed Venerable One was fuming with rage. It stared at Yuqi the Venerable One and uttered word by word, “Fine, Yuqi, the Beast King Sect can expect a revenge from the Insects soon!” Before its voice died away, its enormous body rose in the sky again.


    When it calmed down from its anger, it immediately made the wisest choice.


    It was likely a human Venerable One that could get rid of the lizards without a sound.


    That would be 2 Venerable Ones from the Humans including Yuqi the Venerable One. Ghost-wed Venerable One would not be afraid at all if there was only 1 human Venerable One, but it was clear that an equal-ranked powerhouse wanted to sneak an attack. If it still pestered Yuqi the Venerable One, it would be risking its life.


    Therefore, once Ghost-wed Venerable One awoke from its fury, it turned and left without any hesitation.


    Since the Humans were so despicable, it decided to give them a hard time...


    Seeing as Ghost-wed Venerable One left indignantly, Yuqi the Venerable One smiled bitterly.


    He never expected things to turn out like that.


    Ghost-wed Venerable One clearly expressed that it would not leave the matter at that and would use its status among the Insects to send batches of powerhouses over, which would definitely cause endless troubles. If anything went wrong, the nextrge-scale war between the Humans and the Insects might break out using this as an opportunity.


    Since the Humans wanted to have a firm foothold in the Spiritual Realm, they must fight for living space with the other races. Such fights were inevitable even after countless years, and they would always break out due to various matters. Despite that, being the person involved, Yuqi the Venerable One did not want to see that happen.


    After pondering for a long time, Yuqi the Venerable One looked around and searched carefully before he furrowed his eyebrows.


    He initially thought that it was the secret attacker, but it seemed like something was off. If it was really this being that made the attack, why was ayer of the ground scraped? It did not match the being’s character and identity.


    With a sh of thought, he looked up and uttered in a deep voice, “Brother Macaque.”


    “Cough, cough.” Soft coughs were hearding from somewhere behind him.


    An old macaque had unknowingly appeared and was pacing toward him.


    The old macaque was the one that Ou Yangming and Big Yellow met when they entered the Beast King Sect. Its footsteps were steady, and it did not seem like it had a high cultivation base. Even so, Yuqi the Venerable One did not realize when it arrived.


    “Brother Macaque, this... Isn’t your doing, is it?” Yuqi the Venerable One asked probingly.


    Inside the Beast King Sect, very few people knew the old macaque’s real strength and identity, hence Yuqi the Venerable One was not surprised.


    The old macaque could not help butugh. “How long has it been since I killed anyone? How could I break my principle because of them?”


    Yuqi the Venerable One was shocked. “They’re... All dead?”


    “Yes, they died.” The old macaque smiled faintly.


    “Who did it?” Yuqi the Venerable One asked.


    He was certain that the attacker was either a Venerable One or at least a top-grade Spiritualist. In fact, the powerhouse must be someone that grasped a hint of the path and was only a step away from being a Venerable One.


    Only such a powerhouse could take down the lizards without a sound.


    That said, Yuqi the Venerable One did not have a favorable impression of that powerhouse because this was clearly going to make Ghost-wed Venerable One regard him as a sworn enemy.


    ‘Hmph, trying to reap where you didn’t sow? I’ll eliminate you first.’


    Who knew, the old macaque had a funny look on its face. It seemed to have recalled something funny as it spoke, “The person that did it... Hehe, hehe, hahaha...”


    It lifted its head andughed happily.


    Yuqi the Venerable One’s face darkened, but it could not get angry in front of the old macaque, so he could only waist quietly.


    After a long time, the macaque finally stoppedughing. It knew it went slightly overboard when it saw Yuqi the Venerable One’s dark face, thus it quickly noted, “Oh, I’m sorry, I just found it too funny.” It paused for a while before it continued, “The person that killed the lizards and took their carcasses away is the person that you’re looking for.”


    “The person that I’m looking for...” Yuqi the Venerable One’s face changed, and he was in disbelief. “Is... Him?”
