Chapter 1314: Green Ghost Concedes

Green Ghost's eyes shrank upon hearing Xiang Shaoyun's offer.
"Young Master Xiang, I don't think that's within my scope of consideration," said Green Ghost in an unresigned manner.
Xiang Shaoyun indifferently said, "I know you're not willing to answer to someone else. I won't force it. As for the help you once gave me, I'll think of ways to repay you. Don't worry. As for my relationship with Lady Shura, you don't need to say anything about it, and it will ensure that things stay friendly between us."
Xiang Shaoyun then left the hall. Green Ghost wore a gloomy expression. As the Ghostface Sect's master, he was one of the most respected people in Bloodsin City. After being treated with such disregard, he was naturally unhappy. Looking at Xiang Shaoyun's back, he hesitated whether he should say something. The little pride he had within him was keeping his mouth shut.
Suddenly, Xiang Shaoyun stopped, turned around, and said, "By the way, your master has reached Heaven Battling Realm. I believe it won't be long before he regains his peak strength. Feel free to visit him at the Ziling Sect at any time."
His words thoroughly destroyed the final bit of pride Green Ghost had. He called out, "Young Master Xiang, please wait."
Xiang Shaoyun stopped and waited for Green Ghost's answer.
Green Ghost walked up to Xiang Shaoyun and dropped down to one of his knees before saying, "Green Ghost is willing to have the Ghostface Sect become your subsidiary organization and serve you with everything I have. Please accept my vow."
Green Ghost had relented! He wasn't afraid of Xiang Shaoyun, but he wished to obtain Xiang Shaoyun's help to break through into the next realm. His master, Devouring Ghost, was slowly regaining his peak strength. He also had a martial uncle, Scarlet Flame Monarch, who could also provide him with guidance.
With those two, Xiang Shaoyun would be able to stabilize his organization and regain his glory from his previous life. Green Ghost did not wish to miss out on the chance to share the glory, even if he had to become someone else's subordinate.
Xiang Shaoyun nodded with a satisfied smile on his face. "Haha, Green Ghost, you really do know how to follow where the wind blows. I'd thought you were someone who was only willing to stay here forever."
"Young Master Xiang, you're a giant among men whose ambitions are set on the grand stage of the world. Someone like me naturally can't compare. I was shortsighted and wasn't able to help you in the past. From today onward, I'll no longer shrink from my duty," said Green Ghost solemnly.
Xiang Shaoyun helped Green Ghost up and said, "Don't worry about it. You're Devouring Ghost's disciple, and he's akin to my brother. You will have plenty of chances to help us in the future. As long as you do what is required of you well, a day will come when your name is known far and wide."
"I'll thank you in advance, Young Master Xiang," said Green Ghost.
If anyone else heard this conversation between a fourth-stage Sovereign and a peak Saint, that person would start doubting the world.
"Good. Your first task is to gather up most of your people and move to the Ziling Sect," Xiang Shaoyun gave his first command.
Green Ghost was somewhat unwilling as he asked, "Young Master Xiang, is there a need to be in such a rush?"
He had just vowed his allegiance to Xiang Shaoyun. His sect was supposed to remain as a subsidiary organization, but it seemed like his sect was going to merge with the Ziling Sect.
"You really think that I'll try to steal your people? I simply don't want to see the organization you had painstakingly built over the years crumble apart. Chaos will come from the Devil Domain soon. The Bloodsin City will turn into a battlefield. I'm afraid not even your Ghostface Sect can survive this chaos."
"Are you sure, Young Master Xiang?" asked Green Ghost doubtfully.
"Of course. Just trust me," said Xiang Shaoyun confidently. "But the chaos will take some time to come. You can take your time to make your arrangements. However, you need to complete your withdrawal from the city within one year. In any case, staying in Bloodsin City won't help your growth anyway. This place has been polluted by devilish energy."
Green Ghost was slightly relieved. He nodded and said, "I'll listen to you, Young Master Xiang. The Ghostface Sect will fully withdraw from Bloodsin City."
"I'll have Devouring Ghost arrange a new place for your people. You don't need to merge with the Ziling Sect. You'll remain as the Ghostface Sect's master. You only need to do as required when the time comes," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"I'll follow your arrangements," Green Ghost agreed.
"Um. I'll be returning to the sect. Devouring Ghost will work with you in regards to the migration," said Xiang Shaoyun before leaving.
Green Ghost personally showed him the way out. Xiang Shaoyun was in an excellent mood. He had not imagined that Green Ghost would decide to pledge allegiance to him at this time. This was a good thing for him. With these new allies, the forces under his control would become even more powerful.
Xiang Shaoyun brought Lady Shura and the people from the Xiang Clan back to the Ziling Sect. There were some things that he needed to put in order before he could enter the Saintforce Realm without any worries.
The Xiang Clan hoped that Xiang Shaoyun could return to the clan first, but he refused. Nothing was more important than seeing his son. It had been three years. His son had probably grown into a little kid. If he remained missing, that kid probably wouldn't even know who his father was anymore.
With the teleportation formations connecting the Ziling Sect and the Holy Hall, it wasn't too hard for him to visit his son. After traveling for a day, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly felt like he was being tailed. He had Lady Shura, Xiang Chenxi, Xiang Keren, and Xiang Feidian with him. The others had been sent away. The people on their tail were definitely enemies.
"Take care of yourself. There will be an attack soon," transmitted Xiang Shaoyun as he released his saint soul unhesitatingly.
It was at this time that a massive palm suddenly descended from the sky. The palm was astonishingly powerful, as though the sky itself was collapsing, threatening to flatten everything beneath it. No ordinary Saint could release such an attack. This person was at least a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator.
"Kill!" Xiang Shaoyun's clone roared and charged the incoming palm.
Space itself crumbled apart as Xiang Shaoyun's clone charged into the sky, his energy surging toward the attacker like an endless current. The attacker had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be so strong. He hurriedly retreated in panic.
