Chapter 1384: Powerful Ghost Path User

Li Quanji’s face was pale and his eyes were filled with horror. He had known about the southwest fragmented area long before now.

Although this was not the first time he had expressed his caution and serious attitude towards the southwest fragmented area, the King of the Upper Desolate Area was prideful and he had a feeling of superiority over the beings in the fragmented area.

However, what happened today gave Li Quanji a bloody and cruel lesson…the West Desolate and the Mysterious Clan were virtually massacred. Rogue cultivators had stolen the ship and used the Blood Sacrifice to create enough energy to pierce through the turbulent space waves.

Their target was the Mountain of Flames!

Damn it, argh!

How dare they do this? The West Desolate and the Mysterious Clan would not let them off? Didn’t they know the terrible price they had to pay as a result of this?

These were future considerations. For Li Quanji, his first thought was that he could not be discovered!

That’s right, He was on the ship.

The ship was built by the West Desolate and Mysterious Clan. It was the key to enter the Mountain of Flames by passing through the turbulent space waves.

This piece of treasure needed to have a secret way out for emergency cases, and the cabin Li Quanji was in was it.

It was a secret room within the body of the ship and others could not enter it through ordinary means. It required a special construct to enter and once within it, it was hard to be discovered.

He was waiting for the ship to enter the Mountain of Flames. When the rogue cultivators searched the mountain, his chance would come. He would activate the ship and run away!

Then, these powerful rogue cultivators would be trapped in the mountain and all of them would die here.

No one knew, but when the great battle and massacre started, the third prince of the West Desolate had sneaked into a hidden cabin in the ship.

As such, if things proceeded according to plan, Li Quanji’s plan might work and he would flip the tables.

However, life never went smoothly and the vengeful spirits on the ship knew about everything. Furthermore, the most terrifying of the spirits had locked its eyes onto Li Quanji.

There was a bloody mist within the cabin. Suddenly, like a rock falling, the blood color in front of him shook violently. Li Quanji looked up quickly and his eyes narrowed. He had sensed something.

However, it was too late. The thing within the blood mist was too fast and he didn’t have time to react.

“Ah!” His howl of pain lasted only a second before something behind cut him off abruptly. His eyes bulged wide as his blood vessels beneath the surface of his skin swelled frighteningly. It looked as though something had entered his body and was rapidly growing. His body swelled and his twisted expression showed the excruciating pain he was going through.

All of this happened in silence while he was in the secret cabin. The chaotic blood-colored waves in the air grew wilder and Li Quanji stood rooted to his spot. His flesh continued to expand and twist but he could not make a sound.

This was a frightening scene!

Shoosh!

A pair of blood red eyes appeared and stared at him. The coldness and hatred in the eyes interchanged. It was trying to take over his body and devour him. Its intention was to use his body temporarily.

There weren’t any weak individuals on the ship but Li Quanji was its best bet. However, as the most valuable prince of the West Desolate, Li Quanji had a terrifying treasure.

Being possessed was something that could never happen to him. As such, to prevent this from happening, the heir of the West Desolate had been given multiple treasures to absorb.

“Ah!”

Li Quanji screamed. The bloodshot eyes filled with despair and madness. The protective array set up by the West Desolate to fend off possession was activated.

Surprise and anger filled the bloodshot eyes and within the cabin, blood mist turned turbulent and violent.

It struggled to leave Li Quanji’s body. However, like a fish trapped in a net, it could not escape the pull.

Splash!

Li Quanji flopped lifelessly onto the ground. He looked like a corpse. There were numerous red streaks on his body and weird chains of marks that stretched all around his flesh.

In the silence, the chaotic blood mist finally settled down. Not long later, Li Four Season’s eyes flung open and he panted heavily.

It felt as though he had been kept underground for a very long time and he could finally breathe in fresh air from the outside world.

He slowly propped himself up. Looking at his hands, he frowned and muttered to himself, “I am Li Quanji, third prince of the West Desolate. I am also the most powerful vengeful spirit on this ship born from Blood Sacrifice…they are me but not me. Casting this aside, I have a very important thing to do.”

He licked his lips and a smirk appeared, “Soft Peach, you bitch. We are going to meet very soon.”

Shoosh –

He stepped out and disappeared into the blood mist.

……

Qin Yu was disappointed that he could not make a move on Soft Peach.

Dishonorable actions on this woman? He he, was this important?

If Qin Yu could not bear to do this little thing, he would have been killed a long time ago.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the sleeping girl and sighed. A helpless expression crossed his face.

He knew a long time ago that sticking with this woman would not lead to anything good.

Now, his intuition turned into reality. Not only was she of no help, he even had to protect her.

Darn!

He rubbed his forehead and wondered when she would wake up. What if he had to help her through this entire Mountain of Flames expedition? His heartbeat sped up and panic filled his chest.

He stepped back and suddenly hugged Soft Peach. Scanning the room, he could feel a cold essence surging in.

Something was here!

He had a feeling that the enemy was trying to target Soft Peach. This woman was not only helpless, she was bringing him trouble.

The ambush previously was like that and this was happening again. Could this be related to the ‘Ghost Devouring Soul’ that Stone Pagoda mentioned?

The cold chill in his heart grew thicker and while the blood mist in front of him did not seem to change, Qin Yu knew that something had infiltrated. It was in the cabin!

“Master, it is behind you!” Stone Pagoda pointed out.

Without hesitating, Qin Yu threw a heavy punch as he whipped around. Violent forces swept out and caused an explosion of the blood mist in front of him.

The rough outline of a figure appeared in the hallway. It did not expect to be discovered and was struck squarely by the punch.

With this solid strike, Qin Yu quickly grabbed hold of Soft Peach and jumped down. He threw another punch behind but this one missed. Instead, the blood mist scattered and the individual disappeared like a shadow.

Qin Yu frowned and he focused his senses to scan the surroundings. The cold chill in his heart slowly dissipated. The enemy had left.

Stone Pagoda confirmed this, “Master, he has left.”

Qin Yu asked, “Who is it?”

Stone Pagoda answered, “It was a very strange aura and it had both life and death characteristics. I have never seen anything like this.”

Hesitantly, Qin Yu asked, “Are you saying that there is someone else on this ship other than me and the six old farts?”

Stone Pagoda confirmed this with a yes.

……

Li Quanji sped through the blood mist with an ugly expression. His pupils quaked in annoyance and there was even a sense of fear deep within his eyes.

The man beside Soft Peach was very strong; he was discovered. Furthermore, his punch had a faint aura.

It was not very strong but Li Quanji sensed a threat of death. If it was just a normal punch, with his current state, he would not be injured.

Although he did not want to admit this, Li Quanji knew that with his current strength, it would be impossible for him to capture Soft Peach.

He needed an ally!

There was evil in his eyes and he suddenly smirked as he looked in the direction of a cabin.

It shall be him!

Shoosh –

With a step out, Li Quanji flashed and disappeared.

A few moments later, Close Saint opened his eyes and looked at Li Quanji stepping out of the blood mist. Close Saint’s eyes narrowed for a moment but then returned to normal quickly.

There was someone else on the ship apart from them…Close Saint remained calm as an act.

This person could have continued to hide in the ship and reap the loot after. Why did he choose to show himself? It did not make sense, but this person did not seem to have ill intentions towards him.

Breathing in deeply, Close Saint cupped his hands together, “Who are you and what business do you have with me?”

Li Quanji said, “I am here to ally with you to kill Soft Peach and the man beside her.” He paused and then continued, “If you agree to this, I will give my all to help you achieve your wish.”

Soft Peach and Virtuous Nine!

Close Saint frowned. These two people were not easy to deal with and even if he was confident in taking them down…he would not agree to it.

The simple reason was…who the hell was this guy?

He had suddenly appeared and proposed a collaboration. Why would Close Saint agree to it? He would be mad to.

He was silent for a while and then he denied, “Sorry but I do not have any desire to harm them. You don’t have to bring up the collaboration again.”

This was also because of the strange aura around Li Quanji that made Close Saint uneasy.

In harsher terms, Close Saint wanted Li Quanji to scram.

He must have felt Close Saint’s attitude. Li Quanji’s eyes darkened and he laughed coldly, “Saint, how do you think people would react if they knew that you are secretly a powerful Ghost Path user?”

Close Saint’s head jerked up sharply and his brows knitted together. There was a cold aura in his eyes!
