Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1598: Chapter 940: I Gave You a Chance, But You Blew It

In the following days, Yang Xiao continued to recuperate. The people of the Yi Sect supplied him with good food and drink every day, and occasionally there were elixirs given to him, allowing Yang Xiao to truly experience a period of god-like days.

Ever since becoming an Angel Envoy, he hadn’t had a good rest for a long time. It was either being chased down or chasing others. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

It couldn’t be helped. With the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes on him, he was doomed to never have the chance to live as an ordinary person. An innocent man possessing a treasure attracts trouble, and countless people covet the treasure he bears.

There’s no eternal secret in the world, nor walls that do not let the wind through. The fact that he has the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes on him will eventually be known by more and more people, and by that time, he will face endless troubles.

What he can do now is to strengthen himself by any means possible, as this world ultimately respects strength.

Many qualified Angel Envoys know the whereabouts of the other seven Innate Treasures, but why does no one go to seize them? Isn’t it because they fear the strength of those peak experts?

They are known to be the greatest in the world, and so can he. Only by being strong enough can he protect himself and the ones he loves.

"Sister, wait until I get stronger. I will seek out every single one of your enemies and give you justice." Yang Xiao shouted in his heart, directing it especially towards his good sister, because the show must be complete, "I may not find the people themselves, but surely some descendants will be left behind. I’ll uproot them all!" frёeωebɳovel.com

Ordinary Angel Envoys have few paths to becoming stronger; entering the Nightmare World for training is the most common. However, for Yang Xiao, he has three paths to strength: running dungeons, entering the Secret Realm for training, and making his good sister happy.

Originally, Yang Xiao’s character wouldn’t bother to do such things, but the third path was just too enticing. A Half-step Ghost Level being able to contend evenly with a Half-step Nether Realm, even novels wouldn’t dare write such.

Especially after this Soul-Capturing Mirror backlash, Yang Xiao made a new discovery. While checking his body in the Secret Realm, he noticed that all the areas where his skin had been replaced by the Drama Robe remained intact, unaffected by the backlash.

In Yang Xiao’s subconscious, whether it’s the Soul-Capturing Mirror or the Underworld Robe, these magic artifacts in essence are forms of curses, only the Robe’s curse is more powerful and has a higher priority.

Another thing Yang Xiao is uncertain about now is whether these artifacts truly belong to him, or to his good sister.

One would say they belong to his good sister, yet he still uses them and they consume his spiritual power. But if they were his, they still need to "parasite" on his good sister’s Drama Robe.

These problems are fundamentally unsolvable, so Yang Xiao decided not to expend extra mental energy thinking about them. He is an extremely rare exception, even the one renowned as the foremost appraiser in the world, Dean Sheng, couldn’t provide answers.

Oh, tied for first, the other person being the current Commerce Association Chairman, also one of the seven strongest people with an Innate Treasure.

Sitting by the bed, Yang Xiao contemplated another issue. It was something he had thought about in the Secret Realm, but due to his physical state, couldn’t delve deep; now, however, is the time to clear it up.

Being backlashed by the Soul-Capturing Mirror is a fact, which means the Mirror became uncontrollable, and the Mirror Ghost is one with the Soul-Capturing Mirror.

Since the Soul-Capturing Mirror was uncontrolled, the Mirror Ghost should have been affected too, but according to his feelings during this period, the Mirror Ghost showed no signs of losing control. This is very strange and defies logic.

Before leaving, Dean Sheng repeatedly emphasized the importance of being cautious with the Mirror Ghost, as it originated from him, full of bad intentions, and one must be wary.

"Something’s wrong, eight out of ten things feel wrong." The more Yang Xiao pondered, the more wrong it felt, he seriously suspected that the Mirror Ghost was cooking up something bad, probably planning a surprise for him.

But he checked, that wooden wedge was still pinned inside the Mirror Ghost, logically there shouldn’t be a risk of the Mirror Ghost losing control, but he was still uncertain.

Yang Xiao is good at thinking, especially from different perspectives. He closed his eyes and imagined himself as the Mirror Ghost. If he were the Mirror Ghost, how would he escape control?

First, he would quietly lurk, pretending to remain under control to lower vigilance.

Secondly, he would continue pretending to be severely injured when in a confined space to further lower vigilance.

Finally, choosing an appropriate time point, launch an attack to seize control, most likely using the wooden wedge.

Yang Xiao knew, like himself, the Mirror Ghost was vindictive. Its greatest wish wasn’t to kill him but to use the wooden wedge to control him.

From there, the master-servant relationship shifts, the roles reverse.

The Mirror Ghost is adept at disguise, it would imprison him in the Mirror World so as to use his identity to live on, claiming his wealth, artifacts, and even friends for itself.

Unless it’s someone extremely close to him, or masters at the level of Dean Sheng or Second Demon Uncle, it’s very difficult to see through the Mirror Ghost’s disguise.

The Mirror Ghost is a major asset to him, but if it turns problematic, he’s in big trouble. Yang Xiao’s greatest concern is the Mirror Ghost continues to lurk, waiting for a critical moment to stab him in the back, like during a battle with an enemy, should the Mirror Ghost switch sides at the last moment, he’s done for.

He must defuse this time bomb in advance.
