C577 We'll Work Together

"It shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to kill it together, right? Why must we run? " A moment later, the Ghost caught up with Zi Tianhao and asked in confusion.

"Of course it's not a problem to kill it, but the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The two of us are not invincible experts. At most, we are just two newbies, Martial King. Any one of us who is slightly more powerful will be Martial King. It'll be enough to beat us to a pulp. Therefore... If we have nothing else to do, then let's not show off. Finding a safe place to hide is the best option." Zi Tianhao smiled vulgarly.

The Ghost rolled its eyes. However, thinking about it carefully, what Zi Tianhao said was right. After all, the two of them weren't very strong. As for this guy who dared to come to the Saint Cloud Mountain to search for the Saint Sun Devouring Beast... Most of them were senior Martial King from the Magic Martial Realm. There shouldn't be many newbies like them, Martial King. Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile.

Just like that, the two of them ran wildly in the dense forest for an hour. Finally, they managed to shake off the Leopard Type Martial Beast that was chasing them relentlessly. They left the dense forest and went over a hill. They entered a mountain valley area with sparse trees and caves.

"It seems like there aren't many people here, so it's relatively safe. Let's find a cave to hide first and wait for the Black Devouring Sun to come. It's not too late to find the Saint Sun Devouring Beast... " Zi Tianhao first observed his surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger. He then said to the Ghost.

The Ghost naturally didn't have any objections and nodded.

Very quickly, the two of them found a relatively hidden cave and lit a bonfire in the cave. Then, they sat opposite each other and stared at each other.

"Brother Bai, actually, there is something that I have always felt strange about..." At this moment, the Ghost suddenly looked at Zi Tianhao, who was opposite the bonfire, and asked.

"Oh, what's so strange about it?" Zi Tianhao raised his eyebrows.

"What I'm curious about is why you insisted on leaving the Wutian Academy and joining the families and sects of Magic Martial Realm? No matter how one looked at it, this method seemed to be disregarding the distance. Furthermore... In the eyes of the Wutian Academy, your actions are undoubtedly like a traitor. So, I want to know why you made such a decision? " The Ghost asked curiously.

"What does Brother Ghost think?" Zi Tianhao replied with a question.

"I'm asking you because I don't understand." The Ghost said with a frown.

"Actually, I don't understand myself either. I've always acted based on my instincts. I feel that joining a family or sect in the Magic Martial Realm is beneficial to me. Therefore... So, I chose to join. It's that simple..." Zi Tianhao shrugged his shoulders perfunctorily.

"Is it that simple? It seems like you are really a casual person, Brother Bai." The Ghost was stunned for a moment, then it smiled. Of course, he knew that the reason was definitely not that simple.

"What about Brother Ghost? Why did he leave the Ghost Clan... As far as I know, although the Ghost Clan is a Devil Faction, it has a huge influence. Given Brother Ghost's talent, he should be a highly valued talent in the Ghost Clan. I wonder why he allowed you to leave the Ghost Clan?" Zi Tianhao asked politely.

"I was sent to Ghost Clan because I had no choice but to do so. At that time, I was only seven years old and didn't know anything. It wasn't until I grew up that I found out what kind of place I was in..." The Ghost shook its head and sighed.

"I was sent to the Ghost Clan?" Zi Tianhao's eyes narrowed.

"Back then, I was born into a prestigious family, but later on, something happened to my family. My father was framed by someone, and in order to protect me, my father... So, he sent his confidant to the Ghost Clan for me. This way, I can avoid misfortune. " The Ghost replied.

"Why does this origin sound so familiar?!" After Zi Tianhao heard this, he thought to himself. This was because the origin of the Ghost was clearly very similar to the original owner of his body. Therefore, he continued to ask, "Then what happened to your father? Dead? Or..."

" After he was framed, he was imprisoned all the way until now. " The Ghost's body trembled slightly, faintly revealing an unconcealable anger. However, it was also filled with helplessness, because even though it knew that its father was imprisoned... He was unable to save his father. To him... It was also a nightmare that he could never forget.

"That's good, at least you still have a chance to meet..." Zi Tianhao said. Compared to the original owner of the body, this Ghost was considered a blessing. At least it knew that its father was still alive.

"Meet? I'm here to find my father, to meet him. I left the Ghost Clan to save him. But later on, I realized that I was too naive. I thought that I could save my father with my strength. But reality is cruel." The Ghost said with some excitement.

"Do you mind if I ask where he is imprisoned?" Zi Tianhao couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Family!" The Ghost raised its head and looked at Zi Tianhao. After that, it coldly squeezed out two words.

Zi Tianhao was stunned for a moment, as if he had understood something. He said, "So you wanted to enter the Xiao Family so badly just to have a chance to save your father?"

"That's right. Ever since I left the Ghost Clan, I have been trying every possible means to enter the Xiao Family. However, I have never had the chance to do so. So, I chose to enter the Asura Academy in the end. I planned to become famous in the Asura Academy, and then I would be recruited by the Xiao Family. Initially, I had prepared everything, but I didn't expect that my efforts would be in vain because of you... " The Ghost nodded.

"So that's how it is. Looks like you've already hated me to death in your heart!" Zi Tianhao smiled but also thought to himself. From the looks of it, the Ghost didn't seem to be lying. Could it be the reason why he helped Cold War? It was to take revenge on the Xiao Family and save his father. This might make sense.

"What's there to hate? It's not like you're wrong. You're just doing what you want. It's useless for me to hate myself." The Ghost mocked itself.

"No matter what, I'm the main culprit behind your intrusion into the Xiao Family. If possible, I'll make it up to you." Zi Tianhao said with a serious look in his eyes.

"What do you mean make it up to me? Don't mention it in the future. I will be satisfied with what Brother Bai said." The Ghost waved his hand and said.

Zi Tianhao didn't say anything when he heard that, because he knew that the Ghost was trying to get close to his goal. Perhaps it was also hoping to borrow his help to enter the Xiao Family. However... If what the Ghost said was true, perhaps the Ghost could enter the Xiao Family. To him, it wasn't a bad thing. Of course, he had to observe a little more.1

"There's still one more day before the Black Devouring Sun. Something unexpected might happen in Saint Cloud Mountain at any time. Just in case, let's take turns outside to keep watch!" Ghost suggested.

"Alright." Zi Tianhao nodded.

"Then you should rest first. I will go out and take care of the wind. After midnight, you can help me..." After saying that, the Ghost got up and walked out.

After Zi Tianhao saw the Ghost leave, he also took the opportunity to enter the system.

On the other side, after the Ghost walked out of the cave, it quickly sent out a messenger eagle from the Void Realm. The messenger eagle spread its wings and flew away.

Not long after, a few bright lights suddenly flashed not far away from the cave, as if they were sending out signals. When the Ghost saw them, it immediately approached them. A moment later, he saw two figures standing in front of him.

"Protector Leng..." The Ghost immediately cupped his hands towards one of the figures and said.

These two figures were Cold Chill and Cat Girl.

"Is the progress smooth?" Cold Chill asked.

"I have told him my background as Protector Leng told me. He should believe me as well." The Ghost nodded and said.

"Very good. Next, you just need to help him obtain another Sun-swallowing Inner Core. After you win his trust, you will have a chance to enter the Xiao Family soon." The Cold Chill nodded and said.

"But, with the strength of the two of us, I'm afraid it will be very difficult..." The Ghost's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry. This time, we have already set up an inescapable net. We plan to give each family and sect a surprise. At that time, the situation will definitely be chaotic. You can take the opportunity to act. When the time comes, I will also lend you a hand. " After Cold War finished speaking, he exhorted, "You just have to remember that your mission is to obtain his trust. So, when you sacrifice, you have to make some sacrifices. Don't be overcautious "

"I know how to do it!" Ghost said with a cold expression.

"Then you can go back. Don't make him suspicious." The Cold War waved his hand.

The Ghost also immediately turned back. Cold Chill and Cat Girl also disappeared from where they were...
