Human Clan Defender-Chapter 581 - s 299 to 300: Breakthrough Success? (Two in One, Asking for Monthly Ticket)_4

Half-Step Demon God! Wang Mubai and the other Great Demons' hearts trembled. Although Ghost Saint said he hadn't successfully broken through, being able to step into the Half-Step Demon God Realm was still no simple feat. If, one day, all the Human Clan in this world were to be sacrificed, Ghost Saint would undoubtedly be able to step into the Demon God Realm. Moreover, he wouldn't just be an ordinary Demon God.

As they reeled in shock, the Martial Emperor and others approached.

"Greetings, My Lord!"

This was their second encounter with Ghost Saint. Apart from the initial meeting, they usually communicated through secret methods.

"What's the situation with Great Qin now?" Ghost Saint's demeanor returned to its usual indifference.

Upon hearing this, Martial Emperor cupped his fists. "Reporting to My Lord, Great Qin is currently stable. However, our scouts at Heavenly Gate Pass report that Gu Xuanji has not shown himself for a few days. At the same time, phenomena have appeared in the sky above Heavenly Gate Pass. These phenomena are exactly the same as those that occurred in South Nether Prefecture before. I suspect they are related to Shen Changqing."

Once he finished speaking, Ghost Saint's crimson eyes flickered slightly.

"Not many things can trigger the phenomena of Heaven and Earth. According to what you've said, the greatest possibility is the emergence of Divine Skills. If this person frequently triggers such phenomena, and each instance is related to the emergence of Divine Skills, then his talent is truly extraordinary."

In Ghost Saint's view, the stronger Shen Changqing's talent, the greater the future threat to himself. Especially since Shen Changqing opposed the Demon Evil Clan, he was already on Ghost Saint's kill list.

However, now that Ghost Saint himself had entered the Half-Step Demon God stage, even the most powerful Great Demon could not possibly contend against him.

What truly concerned Ghost Saint was the issue with Great Qin.

"An Emperor's lifespan is decreed by Heaven. Gu Xuanji doesn't have much time left. He must have also suffered greatly from his battle with Mu Shentong in Great Zhou. His failure to appear for several days might indicate problems."

His gaze grew profound.

Without the support of his Domain, Mu Shentong might not be a match for Gu Xuanji. But with his Domain's support, Gu Xuanji would stand no chance against him. Unless... Gu Xuanji had paid some irreversible price.

Combined with the fact that Gu Xuanji hadn't shown himself since returning to Heavenly Gate Pass, Ghost Saint considered many possibilities.

"Besides this, has any other news surfaced? I mean, regarding Gu Xuanji."

"No, no news at all," Martial Emperor shook his head.

Upon hearing this, a smile spread across Ghost Saint's demonic face. "Good. Very good. This means Gu Xuanji might truly be dead."

"Dead?" Martial Emperor's expression changed. He hadn't considered this possibility.

Ghost Saint said, "Without the battle against Mu Shentong, Gu Xuanji would have lived for another year or half at most. Now, having fought Mu Shentong, it's quite possible his end has been hastened. Continue to gather intelligence from Heavenly Gate Pass. I must confirm whether Gu Xuanji is alive or dead."

Finally, his expression turned grim. Once Gu Xuanji's death was confirmed, Great Qin would officially be set on its path to ruin. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Similarly, if Gu Xuanji had not died, Ghost Saint wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer. Even though he had broken through to the Half-Step Demon God Realm, he still didn't want to take the risk. The battle from a century ago was still fresh in his memory.

In any case, the man wouldn't live much longer. If he didn't die this time, Ghost Saint could just wait another year or two. He could still attack Great Qin and avenge the humiliating defeat from a century ago.

This time, Ghost Saint was much more cautious. The power of a Half-Step Demon God had not made him arrogant.

Martial Emperor nodded. "Very well, I will see to it immediately."

"The sooner, the better. I need to know the outcome as quickly as possible." As a final word, Ghost Saint added another reminder.

Then, Martial Emperor and the others bowed and withdrew.

Above the ruins of the Great Zhou Capital, Ghost Saint stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the firmament, a cold murderous intent surfacing in his crimson eyes. "It won't be long before I use the blood of Great Qin's Human Clan to officially step into the Demon God Realm!"
