Chapter 523: Ran Away

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This was the first time Xue Fanxin had come face to face with the Ghost King. Although she had heard a lot about him and had indirectly interacted with him, she really did not know what he looked like, not even his name. She had only seen his true appearance today.

Actually, he was quite good-looking. He had sharp brows, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth. However, his body emitted an evil aura of a villain. His eyes were sharp and ruthless. If someone was a little timid, they would definitely faint from his gaze.

Yet, the man had his principles. He could be cold and heartless enough to not even let go of his biological father, but he would not kill unrelated people.

“Ghost King, since you already know that Ah Jiu did not kill your mother, shouldn’t you hand Yi Fentian over?” Xue Fanxin went straight to the point.

“Yi Fentian?” The Ghost King thought for a moment before remembering him. “You mean the Young Master of the Yi family?”

!!

“He is no longer the Young Master of the Yi family, but a person I must get rid of. Ghost King, can you do me a favor and hand him over? If you still insist on protecting him, then I can only apologize. I’ll employ all means to kill him.”

“He’s in the underground palace under the City God Temple in the southern suburbs. If you have the ability, go and kill him.”

At that moment, someone came to report. “Your Highness, Yi Fentian and a woman called Zhuiyue have escaped.”

The Ghost King was surprised, but he did not care. “He ran away. I can’t be sure where he is now.”

“He ran at the right time!” Xue Fanxin smiled coldly. Her tone vaguely carried displeasure and dissatisfaction, but she did not make things difficult for the Ghost King, not even bothering to talk to him anymore. Instead, she looked at Ye Jiushang and said, “Ah Jiu, let’s go.”

“Alright.” Ye Jiushang was even more stingy with his words. From the beginning to the end, he had not said a word to the Ghost King or even looked at him. When Xue Fanxin said to leave, he left without hesitation as if he only had her in his eyes.

The Ghost King thought that Xue Fanxin would question him and might even vent her anger on him. But there was no such thing. Seeing them leave so elegantly, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He was a little depressed and curious. He really wanted to know what the couple would do next.

Actually, he was even more curious about why Ye Jiushang was so in love with Xue Fanxin.

This woman was indeed quite beautiful, but he knew that Ye Jiushang was not the type to be charmed by beauty… Forget it. These things had nothing to do with him. Why waste time on them?

He might as well investigate the so-called Shi Clan and Star Diviner. These were what he wanted to know more about.

“Your Highness, I’ve brought all the princes.”

All the sons and grandsons of the Heavenly Saints Emperor were escorted before the Ghost King. These princes were all nervous. When they saw the Ghost King, they did not even dare to speak. Some of them were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt down.

The Ghost King scanned these people and finally stood in front of a relatively thin prince. He said expressionlessly, “From now on, you are the new Heavenly Saints Emperor.”

No one knew what the Ghost King meant. Everyone looked at him in confusion.

However, the Ghost King did not explain himself. After deciding on the new Heavenly Saints Emperor, he left.
