Chapter 255
by fanqienovelChapter 255: The Third Elder’s Order
Seeing the pitiful act in front of him, Su Wen twitched the corner of his mouth.
“Alright, one last question.”
“How strong is your Ghost Spirit clan?”
“I need precise information. If I’m not satisfied, you’re not leaving.”
Hearing this, the Young Man in Black’s expression froze.
Of course!
He couldn’t hide anything from this man!
Truthfully, he didn’t want to reveal his clan’s secrets.
After all, he had been raised and trained by the clan since childhood, benefiting from their resources to reach the Emperor Level.
Normally, he’d rather die than betray his race.
But then he thought about it—it wasn’t easy for the clan to nurture someone like him to the Emperor Level.
If he were killed here, it would be a massive loss for the clan!
Besides, even if he didn’t share the basic strength overview, could the other party not figure it out themselves?
In that case, he might as well be honest!
Well… he’d try to keep it brief and not go into too much detail.
“Our Ghost Spirit clan has nine supreme lords, powerful enough to crush anything.”
The Young Man in Black began, “These nine lords are Demigods.”
“Each of them rules one of the nine major regions within our clan.”
“I belong to the Ice Continent, where there are 328 Emperor Level beings, 2,729 in the high-stage, and I’m not entirely sure about the mid-stage and low-stage counts.”
“As for the nearby Fire Continent, I know a bit about it too.”
“The Fire Continent’s overall strength is weaker than the Ice Continent, with only 297 Emperor Level beings.”
“…”
Then, the Young Man in Black went on to describe the nine continents, covering everything from their geography to resource distribution.
He even mentioned the names of the caves belonging to the major Emperor Level beings, the special treasures in their territories, and the most famous minerals and delicacies in the Ghost Spirit realm.
He spilled everything he knew at that moment.
By the time he finished his “simple” explanation, the sky over the Demon Witch realm had already darkened.
“Great God of Martial Arts, are you… satisfied?”
The Young Man in Black bowed respectfully, his conscience clear—he hadn’t held back anything.
He had shared everything he knew and could share!
“I’ve got the general picture.”
Su Wen nodded and said, “Leave all the treasures you have with me.”
"Remember!"
"It’s everything or nothing. If I find out you’re hiding anything, you’re not leaving."
The Young Man in Black didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his right hand, various pieces of equipment, Runes, and rare treasures started appearing on the ground.
At the same time, he stripped off his clothes, pants, shoes, and even the covering for his most private parts without any hesitation.
The person in front had said there could be no secrets.
The coverings were made at great cost and had some magical functions.
But there was no choice; to survive, even if it pained him deeply, he had to let them go.
As long as he could return home, everything would be worth it!
At worst… he could just have someone make another one when he got back; that covering was quite useful.
Su Wen looked at the completely stripped Emperor Level Ghost Spirit before him and didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Compared to feeling awkward, actually gaining benefits was what mattered.
Then, after using a few forbidden spells to probe, he found that the Ghost Spirit really obeyed and laid everything out.
He had been thinking that some of what this Ghost Spirit said earlier might be false.
Now that he had the treasures, if things didn’t go well, he could just kill her!
With the experience from last time, he could handle it in a maximum of half a second this time; it couldn’t be longer than that.
He just needed to uncover any hidden items and then kill her!
What he didn’t expect was that the Ghost Spirit had absolutely no concealment at all.
With several forbidden spells and various probing magics, from the physical body to the sea of consciousness, from the soul to the true spirit, it was all very easy to investigate while the other party showed no defense or resistance.
There were truly no secrets whatsoever.
In fact, the Ghost Spirit demonstrated great perception by voluntarily dispersing her mental marks and soul imprints, thinking of everything Su Wen could think of.
She didn’t even give Su Wen the chance to cause trouble!
“Before you go, tell me, what is this?”
Su Wen picked up a royal purple token, with the characters for "Elder" inscribed in the middle.
On the back of the token, he saw the number three engraved.
“It’s from my clan, the Third Elder’s Token.”
“…”
“Great God of Martial Arts, the Third Elder gave me this token so that I could control that beast when I go out.”
“…”
“Honestly, Great God of Martial Arts, that Third Elder in my clan is quite a beast himself; that whole family… they’re all beasts.”
“…”
Su Wen waved his hand and said, “Alright, you can leave now.”
This Ghost Spirit was too eager to survive.
The Third Elder’s Token of the Ghost Spirit Clan was in this guy’s hands.
The outcome was quite obvious, wasn’t it?
The Ghost Spirit he had killed was not a descendant of the Third Elder at all.
The one before him was the true descendant!
To survive, he had not only insulted his own ancestors with words but had also dragged himself into the insults.
Hmm… this will to survive is quite impressive.
But to be honest, if it weren’t for knowing in the last sub-timeline that the Ghost Spirit Clan did not involve themselves in the battle on the Huaxia side, if this was just a test, he might really want to kill the guy before him.
After all, such a shameless person would indeed pose some danger if sent back.
“Alright then!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of black light tore through the sky.
This Emperor Level powerhouse of the Ghost Spirit Clan, one of the strongest in the Arrow Realm, suddenly launched into a sprint, completely naked.
If he could survive and return, he would consider himself lucky.
He even secretly decided in his heart that he needed to do some good deeds to build up his luck after returning.
Su Wen looked up at the fading black light in the sky, his face filled with worry.
The power of the Ghost Spirit Clan…
Thousands at the Emperor Level?
And he wouldn’t even mention the high-stage and mid-stage Emperor Levels.
But this was simply outrageous!
Damn!
He could hardly refrain from cursing; how… thousands of Emperor Level beings could they possibly handle?
If the Ghost Spirit Clan had such power reserves, then the corresponding Holy Spirit Clan probably had several Demigods and hundreds or thousands at the Emperor Level as well.
So, this was the real reason behind the Ghost Spirit Clan and Holy Spirit Clan maintaining a structured hierarchy at the Emperor Level?
With thousands of Emperor Level beings, they really should have corresponding rules and even specific battle attire to manage things properly.
Especially since both clans might have Demigods among them.
He was also skeptical about the number of Demigods.
The descendant of the Third Elder, the information he provided about strength might not even be true.
If he truly wanted to know the specific details about the two races, perhaps… he would have to test the waters in the sub-timelines to get the real information.
He couldn’t understand why the power of these two clans was so far beyond that of other Arrow Realms.
Were they cheating or something?
