Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1524: Chapter 916: Plan_2

Shao Changyin Ji continued walking without stopping, heading straight to the corner by the wardrobe in the room. She stood still and whispered to the empty corner, "Great Elder, he left."

In the next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air; it was an elderly woman dressed in gray cloth.

The elderly woman’s figure was slightly hunched, she leaned on a cane, and wore old cloth shoes with black tops and white soles, with dirt on the edges.

The elderly woman stood silently there, having no idea how long she had been standing.

"As you predicted, he refused." Facing this person, the previously assertive Shao Changyin Ji had greatly restrained herself.

"He was bound to refuse. This person has a heavy mind, is inherently suspicious, and it’s normal for him not to trust us. He is exactly the person we need." The elderly woman’s voice was powerful; it was impossible to distinguish her gender. Most terrifying was her face.

She had no eyes; her eye sockets were sunken, as if her eyeballs had been manually gouged out, and her nose had been cut off, leaving horrific scars.

"Did you sense anything?" Shao Changyin Ji asked, raising her head.

"Originally, I sensed nothing until you appeared and took out that photo." The elderly woman said slowly, "In that instant, a strong wave of spiritual power emanated from him, and I felt an unusual aura, not belonging to him."

"Is it a resentful spirit?" Shao Changyin Ji frowned, "Do you mean a resentful spirit from the previous Magic Artifact owner exists on him?"

"He has a Nether-level Magical Artifact on him." As a Netherworld Realm expert, Shao Changyin Ji naturally understood what this meant. A person able to leave a resentful spirit on a Magical Artifact is no ordinary individual; an average Netherworld Realm expert cannot accomplish this, which means Yang Xiao possesses a very high-quality Nether-level Magical Artifact, a significant fortune for an Apostle who just stepped into Ghost Level.

However, at the same time, it is a huge challenge, as the presence of a resentful spirit can also be a great threat to the current owner of the Magical Artifact. It’s common to be bewitched and turn into a walking corpse.

After a moment of silence, the Great Elder’s next words hit Shao Changyin Ji hard, "Not only that, I sensed more than one aura from him; I believe he has at least two Nether-level Magical Artifacts of sufficient grade."

"I reviewed his records; his rise was swift. Three years ago, he joined the Jiangbei Province Office’s Rongcheng Lin’an Office; he had just become an Apostle then. In only three years, he grew into a Ghost-level Apostle, a terrifying growth potential."

"During this time, many strange incidents occurred in the originally relatively stable Rongcheng area; many people died. Now it seems these events are more or less related to him."

"But because he acted decisively, leaving no survivors, coupled with protection from Director Nalan Shuo and some friends, he wasn’t held accountable."

Upon hearing this, Shao Changyin Ji’s pupils flickered. She had also gathered some fragmented information on Yang Xiao through various channels, but the Great Elder’s information seemed more precise and deeper.

Shao Changyin Ji couldn’t understand; despite everything mentioned, he is just a Ghost-level Apostle. The Great Elder is one of the top three experts within the Yi Sect, a top expert among Netherworld Envoys. The disparity in identity and strength seems no reason to pay such attention to Yang Xiao.

Noting Shao Changyin Ji’s thoughts, the Great Elder’s expression darkened further, and his tone carried a sense of reprimand, "Would someone valued by both the White Robe Dharma King of the Dharma Sect and the Esoteric Cannibal Buddha be ordinary? Yin Ji, you’re truly growing arrogant!" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"White Robe Dharma King, Cannibal Buddha?" Shao Changyin Ji was stunned. These two are renowned figures in the Apostle circle, heads of the Dharma Sect and Esoteric Sect among the Four Great Families of Yin Temple, truly leaders.

Shao Changyin Ji had researched Yang Xiao’s records; she only found that Yang Xiao was suspected to have visited the Myanmar-Tai Black Triangle recently. She did not know, nor dared to imagine, that Yang Xiao could interact with these two leaders from the Four Great Families of Yin Temple; this was utterly unbelievable.

"What did he do in Myanmar and Thailand to alarm such figures?" Shao Changyin Ji asked curiously.

"I’m not entirely sure. I only know he had a conflict with the Dharma Sect, and it was the Esoteric Sect that sheltered him. The White Robe Dharma King of the Dharma Sect once came to demand him but was driven back by the Esoteric Cannibal Buddha."

"Recent border reports indicate the Jiangbei Province Office has made connections with the Esoteric Sect, which should also be credited to Yang Xiao."

"Additionally, I received news that the Jiangbei Province Office intends to promote Yang Xiao soon, though the specific position is unknown."

The Yi Sect Elder integrated information from various sources and verified it through intelligence networks, gaining a clearer understanding of Yang Xiao.

Upon confirming all this, the Yi Sect Elder was quite surprised and thus came today for a firsthand observation of this young man named Yang Xiao.

Indeed, this person was no ordinary being. It had been many years since she had seen a Ghost-level Apostle carrying two High-level Nether-level Magical Artifacts.

"Remember, regardless of success or failure, do not offend him. If it turns into enmity, he will inevitably retaliate against us in the future." The Great Elder paused, lifted his head sternly, and said, "This person is petty-minded."

"I understand. As you said, bearing such treasures and still surviving to this day means he has powerful guidance behind him; it’s best not to offend him. Besides... he has done favors to us in the Yi Sect, has a good relationship with Luan’er, and may be an asset to us in the future." Shao Changyin Ji was sensible, knowing what to do.
