A brief separation is like a newlywed bliss, Su Jie spent three pleasant days with Han Ruyan. After three days, Su Jie did not return to Guan Chao Pavilion with Han Ruyan but instead openly went to the location of the Heavenly Soul Sect. "The Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace is visiting, quickly inform the Sect Master." When the disciples of the Heavenly Soul Sect saw Su Jie, recognized his identity, they dared not hesitate and promptly went to inform their Sect Master. Su Jie walked through Nanyang City as if no one else were present. He was not unfamiliar with this city; this was actually his third visit here. The city of Nanyang still houses quite a number of common people, trapped here by the Heavenly Soul Sect. Through the contrived Night Parade of Hundred Demons, they harvest fear energy to promote ghosts. As Su Jie walked through, many Heavenly Soul Sect disciples curiously yet nervously observed Su Jie. A person’s fame spreads like the shadow of a tree; Su Jie’s demonic might is known by everyone in Qingzhou. Especially after Su Jie led Ghost Ridge Palace to destroy Guan Chao Pavilion; his reputation soared, becoming a symbolic figure for the Demon Path in the Da Li Dynasty, a true benchmark. Though the Heavenly Soul Sect is also of the Demon Path, compared to Su Jie leading Ghost Ridge Palace, it seems quite like a pauper. "Fool, you dare to call his name directly, you should address him as Blood Demon Ancestor." "The beauty beside him is so gorgeous." These disciples of the Heavenly Soul Sect whispered among themselves until the leading elder shouted angrily, afraid they might offend such a big figure like Su Jie. "Get out of here, if you keep gossiping, I’ll skin you alive." At these words, the watching Heavenly Soul Sect disciples scattered at once. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet Su Jie smiled silently; these disciples of Heavenly Soul Sect were experts at manipulating fierce ghosts, but as Han Ruyan walked alongside Su Jie, none of them could discern Han Ruyan’s identity as a ghost, including the leading Secret Realm Elder ahead, who thought Han Ruyan was a living person. Of course, it was also because Han Ruyan had changed clothes and wasn’t wearing her signature blood-colored wedding dress. "Su Sect Master graces us with his presence, forgive us for not welcoming you sooner." Su Jie wasn’t kept waiting for long; upon hearing the news of Su Jie’s arrival, the Heavenly Soul Sect Master Lu Jingshi led numerous senior figures of the sect to warmly greet Su Jie. "Sect Master Lu, long time no see, I hope you’ve been well. I’ve come over uninvited to reminisce a bit, I hope it doesn’t disturb you all." Su Jie showed a smiling face, politely, making it difficult for Lu Jingshi to see Su Jie’s specific intentions. For Lu Jingshi at this moment, Su Jie’s arrival is not good news because he knows that powerhouses like Su Jie, with his status and strength, seldom come without purpose; the visitor definitely has certain objectives. This is also what concerns Lu Jingshi the most, as the relationship between the Heavenly Soul Sect and Ghost Ridge Palace isn’t very solid. The two demon sects were able to cooperate closely in the past due to the lip and teeth documentation, with both Ghost Ridge Palace and the Heavenly Soul Sect suppressed by righteous sects in Qingzhou, they could only overcome difficulties by cooperating to form an alliance. But now, with Guan Chao Pavilion destroyed, the natural conditions for close cooperation between the Heavenly Soul Sect and Ghost Ridge Palace no longer exist, leaving no choice for Lu Jingshi but to ponder deeply. "What are you saying, Su Sect Master? We’re excited to have you, your presence at our Heavenly Soul Sect is an honor, please come in." Though Lu Jingshi had worries within him, he showed no signs, still welcoming Su Jie with a smile and inviting him into the guest hall. After the maids served tea and water, both parties exchanged pleasantries and naturally, the conversation led to the recent battle against Guan Chao Pavilion. "Su Sect Master truly showcased the might of our Demon Path, destroying Guan Chao Pavilion in one battle, reestablishing our Demon Path’s formidable reputation, it truly boosts our Demon Path prestige, making us demon cultivators proud." Lu Jingshi complimented him, and several Secret Realm Elders seated nearby also nodded in agreement. "Thanks to Su Sect Master for eliminating the venom of Guan Chao Pavilion in Qingzhou, our development will no longer be limited. It’s wonderful." "For years, Guan Chao Pavilion has bullied and oppressed Qingzhou and even dared to unite major sects to attack us, this is retribution for evil deeds." "It’s a pity that I didn’t participate back then and couldn’t witness Su Sect Master’s overwhelming demonic might, truly a major regret in life." These Secret Realm Elders had thoughts of flattery but also carried a few true sentiments. After all, Su Jie’s achievements were undeniably real; Guan Chao Pavilion was the leader of righteous sects in Qing Province, its strength was beyond doubt, yet it couldn’t withstand Su Jie leading Ghost Ridge Palace’s assault. This is enough to prove the terrifying strength of Su Jie. "It’s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning, let’s not keep complimenting." Su Jie waved his hand and finally brought up the real reason for his visit to the Heavenly Soul Sect today. "To tell you the truth, I came to the Heavenly Soul Sect this time with important matters to discuss." With these words from Su Jie, the scene quickly became quiet. Lu Jingshi felt a jolt in his heart and showed a somewhat stiff smile: "Su Sect Master, speak freely, as long as the Heavenly Soul Sect can accomplish it, we will not hesitate even for a fraction." "Now that Sect Master Lu has put it this way, I’m relieved." Su Jie nodded and looked at Han Ruyan on the other side. Han Ruyan slowly stood up, drawing the attention of the entire room. Because at that moment Han Ruyan was transforming, her originally pure white dress was dyed a deep crimson as if soaked in blood. As the blood-colored wedding dress transformed, the eerie and chilling atmosphere spread, causing the temperature in the guest hall to drop instantly, as if entering the depths of winter, nearly freezing the bodily fluids of everyone present. This sudden scene startled the senior figures of the Heavenly Soul Sect, and as Han Ruyan switched back to her blood-colored wedding dress, they suddenly realized that Han Ruyan was actually a female ghost, and not an ordinary one at that.
