Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1077: Chapter 741: Embroidery Needle

With the Mirror Ghost’s assistance, the suppressed thoughts that Yang Xiao had under the good sister’s control started to surface uncontrollably again, and he had a bold idea.

Since the Mirror Ghost can be suppressed, there’s no reason the good sister can’t be as well. If he could find a chance to drive the wooden wedge into the Opera Robe Ghost’s heart, wouldn’t the tables turn, and he could be in control?

Not only could he manipulate the good sister, but also have her bear the backlash caused by using magic artifacts for him. Thinking of this, Yang Xiao pressed his lips together, almost laughing out loud.

Before Yang Xiao could continue to fantasize, the next second, his whole body suddenly turned cold, with his lower limbs feeling frozen, as if ice shards had filled his veins, and a soft, boneless hand slowly clenched his heart. The sudden change made Yang Xiao realize his position clearly.

"Slap!"

Yang Xiao raised his hand and gave himself a hard slap, angrily cursing, "Damn Black Robed Ghost, daring to backfire on me and tempt me to harm my benefactor, the good sister - deserves to die!"

"Sister has treated me with deep kindness, I have sworn a solemn oath, to always follow the sister’s leadership faithfully. If I entertain the thought of betrayal, may heaven strike me down!" Yang Xiao’s gaze was firm, his voice sonorous and forceful, for this was not the first time he had taken such a heavy vow.

Fortunately, his excellent acting deceived the good sister, or perhaps the other party had no intention to argue with him. Finally, that cold hand slowly released, the icy sensation within his body gradually dissipated, and Yang Xiao, who had narrowly escaped death from the Ghost Gate, swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and dared not indulge in wild thoughts any longer.

To rid himself of the entanglement of the Opera Robe Ghost, his current power was insufficient. Yang Xiao judged that he must at least reach the peak of Ghost Level strength before finding several helpers and using a few artifacts that could restrain the good sister to teach her a hard lesson.

A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. Being born into poverty is not a disgrace; being able to adapt is the true sign of a man!

After giving himself a dose of mental encouragement, Yang Xiao steadied his mind and turned to study the Mirror Ghost.

After initially adapting to the control of the Mirror Ghost, Yang Xiao boldly attempted to have the Mirror Ghost leave the Soul-Capturing Mirror and come to the real world, and surprisingly, it succeeded!

But the side effects were also apparent. Yang Xiao could sense that after the Mirror Ghost left the Mirror World, his connection with the Soul-Capturing Mirror was gradually weakening.

At this speed, with his current spiritual power, Yang Xiao could probably maintain it for about 20 minutes, but this was based on not using other artifacts that consumed spiritual power, otherwise it would be even shorter.

What would happen after the connection was completely severed, Yang Xiao did not know. Perhaps the Mirror Ghost would become uncontrollable, or maybe it would provoke some other strange occurrence. In short, it certainly wouldn’t be anything good.

"Seems like I need to hurry," Yang Xiao raised his head, gazing coldly towards the former campsite.

At this moment, Tong Han, Cen Fengyang, and Lina were resting at the campsite. Cen Fengyang had tried several times to find excuses to slip away, but each time Tong Han saw through his intentions and forcibly kept him there.

One Tong Han was not something Cen Fengyang particularly feared; he couldn’t defeat her, but if he solely focused on leaving, Tong Han might not be able to stop him. This was an endless primordial forest, and wherever he decided to dash, even if a dozen people chased after him, they might not be able to catch him.

What he truly feared was Yang Xiao, worried that Yang Xiao hadn’t actually gone far, but was still nearby.

He hadn’t fully gauged Yang Xiao’s strength yet, but the former Pingxi Marquis’s prowess was well-documented, even several Ghost-level Apostles had died by his hands. freёwebnovel.com

"Sister-in-law, where do you think the Marquis has gone?" Cen Fengyang tried to get close to Tong Han while searching for openings in her defense.

"I don’t know," Tong Han replied without looking at him, leaning against a tree, eyes closed, as if meditating.

But Cen Fengyang didn’t dare to act rashly because he knew Tong Han was not easy to deal with. Although she appeared to be resting, she was actually keeping an eye on the two of them with the waist drum hanging at her waist.

It had been almost an hour since Yang Xiao left, and Cen Fengyang knew he couldn’t wait any longer. Although he wasn’t entirely sure Yang Xiao would return to kill them to silence them, he couldn’t take that risk. He knew the people of Xiang Ma Town well - if anyone could become Pingxi Marquis, they had to be ruthless.

In his place, he would never let someone who knew his secrets go.

Moreover, he knew that Pingxi Marquis had recently recruited many subordinates, including some skilled individuals, so why hadn’t he brought them this time but instead hidden his identity to find a few outsiders?

There was only one answer: this guy who claimed to be Yang Xiao clearly never intended for them to leave alive, regardless of whether the mission was successful or not.

Just as Cen Fengyang couldn’t hold back anymore and was about to act, a voice floated behind him:

"Cen Fengyang."

This voice almost scared Cen Fengyang out of his wits. He turned his head and saw Yang Xiao, like a ghost, appearing behind him with a smiling face looking at him.

"M... Master, you’re finally back!" Cen Fengyang instantly changed his expression, switching to an enthusiastic smile as he hurried to greet him.

And upon learning Yang Xiao’s true identity, Lina’s attitude toward him became increasingly deferential, not even daring to look Yang Xiao in the face.

"Master, since you’re back, let’s set off for Xiang Ma Town immediately. If we leave now, we can surely get out of this forest before dark." Cen Fengyang was eager to escape.

"No rush," Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Cen Fengyang, Lina, you keep saying you want to pledge allegiance to me, so I need to see if you are qualified first."
