Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1332: Chapter 863: Bone Burning Taoist

The valuable assets from Good Sister Yan Xuan are still increasing in significance. Almost all the truly precious items Yang Xiao possesses are found by her.

Exiting the Mirror World, Yang Xiao returns to reality, surprised to find the entire Union Headquarters in silence, with hundreds of bodies lying across the floor.

Seeing Yang Xiao appear, Monk Mingyue and Sui Chengguo quickly approach him. According to Sui Chengguo, the people lying on the ground are not dead; they were knocked unconscious by Monk Mingyue. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

After Yang Xiao made a move against Qiu Huai De, the Union sounded an alarm internally.

"It’s not safe to stay here, we should leave now." Urged by Senior Brother Ming Yue, Yang Xiao quickly retreated using the abilities of the Mirror World.

Once they reached a safe location, Sui Chengguo let out a sigh of relief and revealed the truth; the situation was far more complicated than Yang Xiao had imagined.

"Yang, after you took action, you and Qiu Huai De both disappeared. Master Ming Yue judged that you were likely pulled into the Magic Artifact World by him."

"This was a conspiracy; he knew we would come and was well-prepared for it."

"Master Ming Yue, after dealing with those in the Union, originally intended to break the magic trapping you, but was concerned about harming you." frёewebηovel.cѳm

"While we were figuring out what to do, trouble came from outside, experts arrived."

"They were all Ghost-level Apostles; a total of six appeared." Sui Chengguo spoke quickly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao was taken aback. It was indeed beyond his expectations, "Six Ghost-level Apostles? Where did that old guy find so many allies?"

To be aware, without counting outsiders like Monk Mingyue and Brother Sui, even the entire Rongcheng could hardly gather six Ghost-level Apostles. Even Qu Muzhi, known as the Demon Rakshasa, only had spiritual power at the half-step Ghost Level, though his actual strength was higher.

The irritating face of Qiu Huai De resurfaced in his memory. No wonder this old guy was so confident, spending so much to invite so many experts.

If not for Senior Brother Ming Yue being here today, he would have been doomed.

No matter how confident Yang Xiao was, it was unlikely he could face six same-level Apostles alone after dealing with Qiu Huai De.

Yes, fight alone, because by that time, Brother Sui would surely have been killed.

Seeing the change in Yang Xiao’s expression, Monk Mingyue spoke in a low voice, "Junior Brother, it’s not what you think, I didn’t make a move."

"The six people who appeared were not in the same group; they were fighting in pairs and got entangled."

"Among them, there must be Qiu Huai De’s reinforcements; the rest should have come to help you. They blocked Qiu Huai De’s people for you."

"Help me?" Now Yang Xiao was even more confused because, according to the plan, this was a secret mission; he only had Senior Brother Ming Yue and Sui Chengguo as helpers.

Moreover, within Rongcheng, he indeed knew no Ghost-level friends.

The thought was shocking, not expecting such a small place like Rongcheng to have nine Ghost-level experts appear at the same time, not even counting Senior Brother Ming Yue.

"Among them, I know two, and you know them too; they’re from Xiang Ma Town, the Marquis Zhengdong and the An Nan Marquis. They faced a man and a woman." Senior Brother Ming Yue’s thick eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Yang Xiao pondered, Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis weren’t called by him; they were likely bribed by Qiu Huai De. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, which means the other man and woman are his helpers.

"That woman is of average strength, just stepping into the Ghost-level, and is struggling against the An Nan Marquis alone, but the man has some skills."

"I can’t quite see through him, but he can suppress the Marquis Zhengdong and even relieve his teammate at critical moments."

Yang Xiao knew the strength of Marquis Zhengdong; he was once the strongest of the Four Major Families in Xiang Ma Town, at least at Upper Middle Ghost-level. The man able to suppress him likely touches the Upper Ghost Level, a formidable character even in Jiangbei Province, surely holding elder-level strength in the Yin Temple’s major families.

After pausing, Monk Mingyue’s voice continued, "These four were fighting in the east; more people came in the west, an old masked guy was faced by a woman shrouded in black mist."

"The masked old man is likely an ally of Qiu Huai De, persistently trying to charge through but being firmly blocked by the woman until retreating in the end."

"A Ghost-level woman... shrouded in black mist." Yang Xiao’s mind immediately conjured an image of a person, and he quickly asked, "Is this person with a very fine figure?"

"Um... sort of." Senior Brother Ming Yue looked a little embarrassed, lowered his head, and raised one hand in a modest, monk-like pose.

"Hiss—" Yang Xiao knew who it was, recalling an attack he suffered after the Ghost phone incident in the hospital. He had used a Ghost Lantern to trap the assailant, who was a fine-figured beautiful woman.

And being shrouded in black mist, it’s a bizarre technique for concealing one’s presence.

This person far exceeded Yang Xiao’s strength at the time, a definite Ghost-level Apostle. Later, when reviewing the attack, Yang Xiao realized that the opponent wasn’t trying to kill him. Given their strength, they wouldn’t have needed to make such a fuss otherwise.

The person likely came to probe, to check the treasures on him, or to gauge his injuries.

Unexpectedly, this time, that person actually helped him, deepening Yang Xiao’s curiosity about this beautiful woman’s identity.

"Senior Brother, did the two fighting the Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis have any distinguishing characteristics?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.
