NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 60
“Ha ha, feels damn good!” Li Wujie laughed as he swung his long sword, continuing to slash at the other Ghost Commanders.
“Kill this guy!” the purple-haired Ghost Commander roared, brandishing a trident that carried a chilling wind and thrusting it fiercely.
The other Ghost Commanders unleashed their deadly moves, terrifying malice surging forth, blotting out the sky, their imposing force terrifying.
Boom!
Hit by nine waves of dark energy filled with evil vibes, Li Wujie’s expression changed, realizing he was pushing himself too hard.
“Maybe I should try using my Frenzied Demon Bloodline?” Li Wujie thought, gritting his teeth, with an increasing red hue creeping into his eyes.
Swish!
At that moment, a scorching heat filled the air, countless blue flames imbued with a divine aura appeared.
“Green Jade Liuli Fire!”
Hong Qianye suddenly flicked her sleeve, and the blue flames surged out, forcibly interrupting the attacks of those Ghost Commanders.
“Ah…” Six mid-level Great Ascension Ghost Commanders screamed out, their bodies quickly ignited by the blue flames and vanished into thin air in no time.
“Human woman, I’ll make you pay with your life!!” the purple-haired Ghost Commander shouted in fury, raising the trident above his head and releasing a vast wave of energy.
The fierce malice from the trident shot up to the clouds, dimming the entire sky, as if a terrible disaster was about to strike.
As a peak Great Ascension cultivator, the purple-haired Ghost Commander would practically be unstoppable if he unleashed his full power in the Great Zhou.
Cold sweat trickled down Li Wujie’s forehead as he hurriedly backed away, looking at the purple-haired Ghost Commander with pity.
“Ha ha, realizing you’re scared now is too late! Both you and that stinky woman will die!” The other two late-stage Great Ascension Ghost Commanders grinned cruelly, feeling like they were on the verge of turning the tide.
“Hiss!” Hearing this, Li Wujie gasped and retreated a few hundred meters once again.
Just as expected.
An unbelievable, horrifying imposing force erupted, sending chills down people’s spines.
Hong Qianye’s hair danced wildly, her expression as cold as frost, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Her icy, emotionless voice echoed through the vast world, brimming with bloodthirst, “Die, you ants!!”
With a wave of her hand, endless black flames surged forth, carrying the power to devour everything, sweeping towards the agitated figures of the Ghost Commanders.
“No…” The two late-stage Great Ascension Ghost Commanders were filled with terror, nearly overflowing with fear, as they were engulfed by the eerie black flames.
“What is this?!” The purple-haired Ghost Commander’s face turned pale, desperate, he thrust his trident forward.
Sizzle.
The trident emitted countless dark purple bolts of lightning, each one loaded with immense destructive power.
An awful phenomenon occurred.
Countless dark purple bolts struck the black flames and were consumed entirely.
“This is impossible!” The purple-haired Ghost Commander was terrified out of his wits; seeing this, his fighting spirit vanished, and he turned to flee.
But it was too late.
The black flames enveloped him, and the purple-haired Ghost Commander felt his blood, flesh, and even soul being madly absorbed—a pain that was hard to put into words.
“Ah ah ah ah…”
The screams were heart-wrenching.
In just a few seconds, the purple-haired Ghost Commander vanished completely.
As for the remaining ghostly beings, they too were engulfed by the black flames. On the battlefield, all that could be heard was the howling of the cold wind.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou stared in disbelief, their hearts filled with deep fear as they looked at the fiery figure in red.
“The Red Fairy is truly an otherworldly beauty,” the Crown Prince muttered, struggling to spit out the words.
“Why do I feel she’s just a female demon head?” a commander whispered, only to be elbowed by his colleague, signaling him to shut up quickly.
At this moment.
Hong Qianye’s expression gradually softened, and with a cold smile, she said, “Unknowingly seeking death, you little ants!”
She turned her head and glanced at the distant Li Wujie, who said nothing and was ready to head back to report.
Li Wujie sighed, “After going into a rage, Brother Hong is virtually unstoppable at our cultivation level! Truly worthy of being Master’s first disciple!”
The next second, an idea struck Li Wujie, his right hand tightened around the sword hilt, and a manic grin emerged on his face, “Heh, that’s fine, if we spar, I can go all-out on him…”
“Hmm?”
Hong Qianye seemed to feel something, a chill running down her spine, she suddenly turned her head and saw Li Wujie sneaking up behind her, looking puzzled, she murmured, “Could it be that was my imagination?”
When the two reached the Kunpeng, they bowed and said, “Master, as per your instructions, everything has been taken care of.”
However.
There was no response ahead.
Li Wujie’s heart raced, “Oh no, could it be Master is unhappy?”
What’s this guy up to now?
Hong Qianye cautiously raised her head, nearly losing her cool.
Ahead, a handsome young man was sprawled lazily on a recliner, his eyes covered by a sky-blue eye mask, drooling as he slept soundly.
He looked completely unbothered, entirely disconnected from the outside world.
“Master, wake up,” Bai Xiaoxi called softly beside him.
Ye Junlin woke up slowly, lazily removing the eye mask. “Everything’s resolved?”
“Yes, the enemy forces have all been eliminated by us!” Hong Qianye suppressed the urge to rush over and give him a good beating, gritting her teeth.
Ye Junlin stretched, walking over to the two of them, patting their shoulders with a tone of praise, “Well done, keep it up.”
Then he straightened his back and walked away with an assertive stride.
“Thanks for the praise, Master!” Li Wujie was ecstatic.
Hong Qianye rolled her eyes, secretly cursing, “Wasn’t it you who was supposed to take action? Why are you making us do all the work?”
Meanwhile below.
The Crown Prince and the others felt anxious.
At that moment, they saw a black-robed young man walking towards them, silver-white shoulder-length hair shimmering brilliantly, his handsome face exuding a celestial charm.
“Greetings, Venerable Ye!”
The Crown Prince gasped in surprise, hurriedly bowing.
Everyone else followed suit, bowing together, “Greetings, Venerable Ye!!”
“With the crisis averted, shouldn’t the Great Zhou treat me well?” Ye Junlin smiled.
The Crown Prince replied respectfully, “Venerable Ye, you are our most esteemed guest; the Great Zhou will certainly entertain you warmly!”
Ye Junlin nodded.
He had specifically come down to experience the local atmosphere.
The group flew toward the bustling capital, where news of the extermination of the ghost army had already reached the city.
The citizens of the capital cheered with joy, filled with excitement.
“Look, there’s Venerable Ye! They say he took down the ghost army!” exclaimed a tea shop owner.
“Venerable Ye, please accept my bow!” Many rushed forward in a frenzy, eagerly worshiping him.
Countless praises followed, all directed at Ye Junlin, practically lifting him to the clouds.
Ye Junlin sighed, “Sigh, this is clearly my disciples’ credit; how can it be called mine?”
“Ahem…” The Crown Prince awkwardly said, since they were almost through the street, he only now brought this up?
Hearing this, Li Wujie immediately said, “As disciples, our achievements are Master’s achievements!”
Hong Qianye looked scornful; this guy really lacked backbone!
“Little Hong, what do you think?” Ye Junlin asked seriously.
Hong Qianye promptly replied, “I believe what Junior Brother Li said is absolutely correct!”
“A disciple worth teaching, I didn’t spoil you for nothing,” Ye Junlin felt emotional.
In the Imperial Palace.
All the officials eagerly awaited.
“Welcome, Venerable Ye!”
When they saw the silver-haired youth accompanying the Crown Prince, they immediately realized his identity and bowed in reverence.
This was the one who had single-handedly annihilated Yuhua Sect’s army of a million cultivators; apart from the Great Zhou Emperor, there was no match for him in the entire nation.
The Crown Prince solemnly said, “Venerable Ye, Father is inside waiting to welcome you.”
“Oh?”
Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow; this old man had some presence, just sitting inside waiting for him.
At that moment, a deep voice filled with apology resonated, “Venerable Ye, please forgive me; I cannot come out to greet you as I’m unwell.”
Ye Junlin entered the Great Hall, his expression frozen.
Ahead, a middle-aged man draped in a dragon robe sat majestically on a dragon throne, exuding a radiant white halo, surrounded by an unseen force that seemed to be healing his injuries or adapting to his condition.
This was the current Great Zhou Emperor!
