    Chapter 95

    Ghosts, people.

    Ghosts, ghosts who have a say in the ghost realm.

    People, people who also have a say in the human realm.

    There are Dao protectors from the main sect, who govern the changes in one side of the realm.

    There’s Ye Zhuo, the Second Palace Master of the Micro-Snow Palace, the Number One Sword Under Heaven. The rumors about him in the martial world are all related to killing.

    And there’s the Sect Master of the Grand Beginning Sect, someone who doesn’t show off his strength.

    Now, they’re fighting.

    If it were a dispute between the Upper Purity Mountain and the Micro-Snow Palace, Sect Master Shen wouldn’t participate. So, it’s not.

    Then, it’s a dispute between the ghost realm and the human realm.

    Three Dao-protecting True Men from the human world, Second Palace Master Ye, and Sect Master Shen.

    Why would these two sides clash?

    Who is standing on the ghost realm’s side, and who is standing on the human realm’s side?

    The people present were just silent. Actually, to be able to stand here, they are all clever people.

    –Who is secretly colluding with the ghost realm?

    And who stirred up this secret collusion?

    No one spoke.

    Su Yizhen’s fingers brushed over the hidden cracks on the Great Mystery Sword.

    It’s somewhat laughable, but seeing this situation, he subconsciously believed that it wasn’t his own sect.

    He believed in Ye Zhuo.

    Because Ye Zhuo wouldn’t care about anything. He wouldn’t care about the human realm, nor would he care about the ghost realm. Therefore, he was the least likely person to collude with the ghost realm. He wouldn’t put so much thought into it.

    What was frozen in the world was not just time, but everyone.

    The Jade Tower True Man holding the candle raised his eyes and calmly looked over the crowd.

    The Great Dao of Time had already been cast, and the people who came had already been slowly drawn into this realm of stopped time, their movements gradually slowing down.

    In contrast to them, he was gradually adapting to the flow of time and would soon be able to resume normal activity.

    As long as the military advisor who also cultivates realms that the Ghost Emperor spoke of didn’t interfere, the situation would still be under his control. And the Ghost Emperor had no reason to interfere.

    –The Upper Purity Mountain being able to smoothly take charge and connect with the ghost realm would only benefit the Ghost Emperor.

    He had to control the situation.

    He needed to quickly recover his actions, first rescue Jade Lake from Ye Zhuo’s sword, and then resolve the Shen Jingzhen who suddenly jumped out to oppose him.

    Then, he would explain this matter to everyone.

    Having made up his mind, the candle flame in the Jade Tower True Man’s hand crackled and burned, the flame suddenly leaping up. He took a step forward, his pace already three points more composed and smooth than everyone else’s.

    Li Yuan, however, saw that in a place that no one was paying attention to, the crimson lotus fire behind Ye Zhuo was also silently spreading.

    Ye Zhuo didn’t care much about who else had come besides Wei Sheng Xian. His gaze had returned to True Man Jade Lake.

    Those eyes were deep, cold, and the intent to kill had not receded.

    Since he had already regarded the meaning of the sword as the only thing, then time was also a kind of blindfold.

    If it were truly an Immeasurable Emptiness state, even time would not have existed.

    He just quietly watched Jade Lake, and a strand of faint red flowing light flowed from the dark Reverse Scale Sword, eroding a trace of a gap leading to the void in the solidified time that was as solid as gold.

    “Fellow Dao friends,” the Jade Tower True Man opened his mouth, his voice earnest, as if he wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with everyone.

    True Man Jade Lake’s pupils, however, slowly and terrifiedly widened.

    On the whites of his eyes, blood streaks spread.

    In his terrified eyes, he reflected a sword light slowly slashing towards him.

    Ye Zhuo’s sword was moving.

    Very slowly, but he could move!

    Jade Lake could also move, but he was still as slow as before.

    And Ye Zhuo was a bit faster than him.

    In the normal world, after years of cultivation, Ye Zhuo’s sword was fast, and his primordial spirit was also fast. When a sword light slashed over, he could dodge.

    In a world where time was bound, the sword was slow, and he was also slow, both were equally slow, and he could also dodge.

    But now, even with shackles on their bodies, Ye Zhuo’s sword was a bit faster.

    –Then, he would undoubtedly die.

    Jade Lake suddenly understood those deep eyes. Ye Zhuo was looking at him, cruelly looking at a dead man.

    The fear of life and death that had never appeared in Jade Lake’s heart was like a tsunami, roaring and submerging his primordial spirit. At that moment, he couldn’t move, his mind was blank, only the fear of approaching the extreme—he could only futilely open his mouth, release his divine sense, and shout the cry for help in his throat to the Jade Tower True Man.

    And Jade Tower, looking at the crowd with different expressions on the stage, lowered his eyes with compassion and was speaking.

    “Under the coincidence of the opportunity, you all came to this place–”

    The cry for help that failed to exit turned into pale fragments in time.

    The cold sword edge had already entered his primordial spirit.

    When Jade Tower realized something was wrong, realized that Jade Lake’s life was in danger, and decisively waved his sleeves to dissolve the time realm for a moment, everything was already too late.

    Time was like a river blocked by a dam, suddenly rushing out of the gate after a long period of accumulation, surging like a flood.

    Sound, touch, movement, everything came back.

    And True Man Jade Lake’s primordial spirit burst into thousands of shining fragments in the night sky, scattering in all directions like fireworks.

    The person who cut off his primordial spirit quietly watched the grand fireworks scatter in all directions, and only after the last embers were extinguished, did he return his sword to its sheath.

    How many dead souls should be under such a person’s sword?

    At the moment the fireworks bloomed, Wei Sheng Xian reached out to catch those glass-like flying ashes, and looking at his expression, it was as if he was lamenting the fall of a great power.

    When those flying ashes were all extinguished, Palace Master Wei’s fingers slowly closed, holding a spirit-light-shimmering round pearl, hiding its light in the palm of his hand.

    “Look, you just had to snatch it,” he said, “really.”

    Not many people heard his words, because a burst of shouting drowned out everything.

    “Ye Zhuo!” Seeing Jade Lake’s primordial spirit turned to ashes, Jade Tower was furious, “So unscrupulous, slaughtering a Supreme Purity True Man! What exactly are you trying to do!”

    “Private feud, unrelated to the realm,” Ye Zhuo replied calmly, “But True Man’s high opinion has not yet been finished. You might as well explain it to the guests first, and then talk about it later.”

    A sentence of private feud, but everything was taken out cleanly.

    Only the Master of Night Viewing Pavilion laughed lightly.

    “Brother Jade Tower, don’t get angry first. Anyway, we are all here. No matter what Ye Second Palace Master has committed, the Immortal Dao people can all work together to suppress him. There is no hurry.”

    After a pause, smiling, Master Night Viewing continued: “Why not clarify the current situation first, so that we can know where to go.”

    “Alright.” Jade Tower suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

    The most urgent task is indeed the ghost realm affairs.

    It would be bad if everyone mistakenly thought that the main sect was colluding with the ghost realm.

    Jade Tower opened his mouth.

    “When the Supreme Purity main sect went deep into the ghost realm to explore the affairs of the human and ghost realms, it discovered that the collision of the two realms was unavoidable. And it is between these one or two days.”

    “The ghost realm is now full of warlords, often engaged in killing, and feeding on living people. Once the realm collides, and the existence of our realm is noticed by the ghost realm’s followers, they will definitely drive the army to invade the human realm, wantonly conquer, and cause the people to suffer.”

    “Fortunately, the new Ghost Emperor is benevolent and willing to protect one side of the human realm, agreeing to one thing: If we assist in it, so that the two realms can smoothly connect and re-establish the Yin Division, the Netherworld, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation between humans and ghosts, he is willing to make an agreement not to invade our realm, and to give the magic weapon for cultivating aura meridians passed down from the upper realm to help our realm solve the problem of the aura meridians being cut off.”

    “In this way, disasters can be eliminated, and the spirit can be continued for the human world. You all should have no objection.”

    You all did not speak.

    Such a long passage, anyone who hears it will have to use a clever mind to reinterpret it.

    Silence was maintained for a while.

    Wei Sheng Xian held down the Red Dust Sword Immortal who wanted to speak, stepped forward, and asked with a smile: “I wonder how this ‘assisting in it’ will be assisted?”

    Ye Zhuo fell from the air.

    There was nowhere to stand in a pile of ruins, so he also stood on the roof.

    By the way, he pulled Sect Master Shen out from under Jade Mountain’s hand, so that True Man Jade Mountain and True Man Jade Tower could stand together and tell the hundred families of the Immortal Sect about the main sect’s devotion.

    “Are you hurt?” Li Yuan pulled him over.
