Chapter 618

Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

The grand elder of Spirit Nurturing Temple, huh?

He didn’t know if this person possessed the cultivation technique for converting ghost energy into immortal power.

But for some reason, Ye Yu felt that this man was strange—different from a normal immortal.

Not that he seemed like a ghost creature,

but there was something indescribably off about him.

Wang Shangshang placed one hand behind his back, waved his long sleeves coldly at the Spirit Nurturing Temple immortals ahead, and said in a cold voice, “I know everything about this matter and will handle it.

All immortals of Spirit Nurturing Temple, obey my order: quickly take your ghost creatures and leave this place.

Return in three days.

So that if fighting breaks out, no one gets accidentally harmed!”

Hearing this, all the Spirit Nurturing Temple immortals present showed pleased expressions.

Truly the grand elder of our sect.

He came and, without hesitation, was ready to act!

Moreover, to avoid accidentally hurting them, he even thoughtfully asked them to leave.

A good man, truly capable!

The Spirit Nurturing Temple immortals didn’t hesitate and immediately cupped their hands toward Wang Shangshang, saying, “Grand Elder, please be careful. We await your victorious news!”

Wang Shangshang’s expression was icy cold; he said no more.

A strong and aloof aura washed over them.

It was this kind of presence that made the Spirit Nurturing Temple immortals feel more assured.

They then all departed from the sect.

Ye Yu quietly stood in place.

Honestly, he really wanted to see what exactly this grand elder of Spirit Nurturing Temple was scheming.

At that moment,

Shangguan Jiujiu sent a telepathic message, “Husband, be careful. This person might not be corporeal!”

Hearing this,

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Not corporeal? What did that mean?

Could it be an illusory apparition?

But that didn’t make sense—he could clearly feel this person’s immortal energy fluctuations, which was unlike a mere apparition.

Curious, Ye Yu asked, “What do you mean?”

“The Ghost Shadow Substitute ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Technique!

I once saw this grand elder of Spirit Nurturing Temple in a parallel world.

His name is Wang Shangshang, and he excels at this technique.

He lets his own ghost creature act as a proxy for himself to do things.

Not only does the appearance and body perfectly match the original,

but even the power can reach over eighty percent of the true self.

It’s nearly impossible to tell true from fake!

The most troublesome part is, you have no idea where his real body is!”

Shangguan Jiujiu narrowed her eyes slightly, scanning the surroundings with her divine sense,

trying to locate the true body of this grand elder.

To prevent any surprise attacks from hiding spots.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Jiujiu had only just barely broken into early Earth Immortal Realm with all her effort.

Whereas this grand elder of Spirit Nurturing Temple was at least a Golden Immortal starting out.

The power gap was too vast to detect his true body’s location.

At this moment, Shangguan Jiujiu once again realized her own weakness.

And understood why Ye Yu never brought them along on his trips.

Lack of strength truly can be a burden!

After hearing Shangguan Jiuu’s explanation,

Ye Yu wasted no time.

He immediately pointed his sword finger upward.

In the next moment, roaring thunder crashed down.

True—Green Lotus Thunder Summoning Sword Technique!

A ghost creature, huh?

Since it’s a ghost creature, I’ll exterminate it with thunder!

Logically, thunder is the purest and most forceful yang energy in the world, and its killing power against ghost creatures can reach two hundred percent.

This was a result Ye Yu personally tested in the Underworld.

Sure enough,

when the rolling thunder fell,

this “Wang Shangshang” instantly became shattered and battered.

No longer human-shaped, but almost a puddle of sludge.

His soul body was extremely thin.

After struggling a couple of times, it completely dissipated, vanishing from this Heavenly Realm.

Ye Yu circulated his immortal power and loudly shouted, “Elder Wang, isn’t this a bit excessive? Hiding things and beating around the bush—what’s the point?

I just wanted to make a trade with your Spirit Nurturing Temple.

Why is it so difficult?

First, the rude second elder, then the grand elder who won’t show his true self.

What exactly do you want?”

Under the effect of immortal power, his voice immediately spread throughout Spirit Nurturing Temple.

Yet there was no reply.

This made Ye Yu, Shangguan Jiujiu, and Xin Wan’en exchange glances.

A rather amusing thought rose in their minds.

Could it be that Wang Shangshang had already fled?

No way, right?

After all, he was a grand elder of a sect—second only to the sect leader, a figure above thousands.

Uh...

Actually, it wasn’t impossible.

Combined with his previous action to make all the immortals leave,

it really seemed like he ran off, taking the entire sect’s immortals with him.

Gotta say, that’s a solid 6 out of 10 for sheer cowardice.

But was it really necessary?

The entire sect scared off by two immortals and one ghost?

Truly remarkable!

Ye Yu sighed involuntarily.

Had he known this earlier, he wouldn’t have used so much force killing Cai Linwang.

He would have left the soul intact.

Maybe then he could have gotten some clues about converting ghost energy into immortal power.

But now it was too late.

The people were gone, what else could be done?

Besides, Ye Yu really had no time to waste here.

He was about to leave with Shangguan Jiujiu and Xin Wan’en,

when suddenly,

the entire Spirit Nurturing Temple shook violently.

This sudden change made Ye Yu’s expression serious.

He immediately deployed several formations to protect Shangguan Jiuu and Xin Wan’en behind him.

But the disturbance didn’t last long and soon ended.

Wang Shangshang’s figure reappeared in his original place.

“Planning to leave so soon?

Sorry, things aren’t that easy.

You two immortals can leave if you want, but this ghost immortal must stay with me.

All ghost creatures that come from Spirit Nurturing Mountain belong to Spirit Nurturing Temple.”

Hearing this, Xin Wan’en grew anxious and immediately spoke in protest:

“I don’t belong here.

I only just ascended to the Heavenly Realm and accidentally entered here.”

She didn’t know that this explanation not only had no effect,

but instead made Wang Shangshang ecstatic.

Ascended?

A fine word indeed.

If she could use the word “ascended,” that meant she came from the lower realms.

Whether from the Mortal World or the Underworld, that was exciting news.

Once they figured out exactly how she came,

they might obtain a large number of ghost creatures.

Spirit Nurturing Temple’s rise would be unstoppable.

This only strengthened Wang Shangshang’s resolve to never let her leave.

With that thought,

Wang Shangshang immediately unleashed immortal arts.

All buildings in Spirit Nurturing Temple began to shift and transform.

Eventually forming a huge formation,

encompassing tens of thousands of miles in every direction.

Immediately afterward, dense ghost energy flooded the entire scene.

“No matter if you accidentally entered Spirit Nurturing Mountain or not, it doesn’t matter.

Now I’ve changed my mind.

None of you are allowed to leave.”
