Chapter 1325: Touring With Beauties

Chapter 1325: Touring With Beauties

Looking at Purple Lightning Marquis' face, which hadn't changed one bit, and listening to his indifferent voice, a storm raged within Green Ghost's heart. He was sure that Purple Lightning Marquis had taken that step and entered the Rebirth Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been incapable of seeing through Purple Lightning Marquis' cultivation. Also, Purple Lightning Marquis was clearly strong and confident enough to help his master fully recover.
If Green Ghost could obtain Purple Lightning Marquis' help, perhaps he could also take that step and obtain eternal life? When he saw how much respect Purple Lightning Marquis was showing Xiang Shaoyun, he started cursing himself for making a stupid decision in the past.
If he had opted to help Xiang Shaoyun, he would have an entirely different position in Xiang Shaoyun's heart. He would then be able to obtain Purple Lightning Marquis' help. Due to his previous choice, that might not be possible anymore. Who would bother helping someone who had shown no loyalty?
"Green Ghost, Devouring Ghost must have prepared a place for your people to settle down, right?" asked Xiang Shaoyun as he looked at the nervous Green Ghost.
This was what he wanted to see by arranging for Green Ghost to meet Purple Lightning Marquis. Green Ghost had to be suppressed to the point he would willingly submit.
Green Ghost replied, "Xia—Overlord, yes, master had everything arranged. But in my opinion, rather than being a subsidiary organization, we might as well join the sect. Please accept Green Ghost's pledge of loyalty. Green Ghost is willing to serve you with my life!"
"Are you sure that's what you want?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.
"Yes!" Green Ghost replied firmly. He did not want to miss another chance. Nothing was more important than entering the Rebirth Realm, becoming a God.
"Very well. From your 50,000 members, pick 10,000. As for the rest, scatter them around the Western Desert and have them work on gathering information on the various organizations. They will become the eyes and ears of our Ziling Sect. Are you confident you can complete this task?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Green Ghost is confident!" replied Green Ghost resolutely.
"Good. Get going, then. Remember, do not allow anyone to find out about this. I want to have the entire Western Desert dancing within my palm," said Xiang Shaoyun, displaying his boundless ambition.
Previously, he only aimed to reach the peak of cultivation. Now, he wanted to become the tyrant of an entire region. He wanted to rise in power, spreading the name Overlord far and wide.
That was a goal he had set after reuniting with Purple Lightning Marquis and the others. He wanted to avenge his dead brothers and the Xiang Clan Army. He needed sufficient strength to face the superpowers that had wronged him in his past life. In this life, he wanted to slowly rise in power. He would not repeat his previous mistake.
Xiang Shaoyun appointed Green Ghost as the first commander of the Ziling Sect, replacing Devouring Ghost's position. He wanted to let Devouring Ghost and Scarlet Flame Monarch focus on cultivation and not waste their time with trivial affairs. Green Ghost had the strength and ability to train a competent army for the sect.
Having done all that, Xiang Shaoyun brought Tuoba Wan'er and Gong Qinyin to the Brightflower Chamber. He wanted to bring Lady Shura with him as well, but she had to stay in the sect and help Green Ghost with some sect affairs. Thus, she was unable to go with him. For this trip, he maintained a low profile and only brought the two women with him.
Naturally, Hidden Rat also followed them in secret, keeping watch against the Rat Assassins. They traveled slowly as though they were going on a scenic tour. It helped Xiang Shaoyun's mind to calm down, greatly improving his mental state.
One could say that beautiful scenery could be seen everywhere in the dominion. If one paid enough attention, one would discover that a new scenery would unfold with each step.
Over the years, Xiang Shaoyun had been focusing on cultivation. He had not been able to stop and smell the flowers along his path of cultivation. Now that he was able to travel in such a carefree manner, he wanted to take this chance to fully immerse himself in the experience.
Crisp sounds of laughter would occasionally ring out from the two women accompanying him, a sight that would cause any man to be envious. When they arrived before the Brightflower City, they became the center of attention.
After all, this was a place where scholars congregated. With the good looks of Xiang Shaoyun, Tuoba Wan'er, and Gong Qinyin, it was impossible for them to not attract attention.
On a certain ship floating atop the river was a certain conceited man. When his gaze landed on Tuoba Wan'er and Gong Qinyin, he was stunned, and he exclaimed in admiration, "How beautiful."
He was the first disciple of a Brightflower Chamber elder. With a cultivation level of seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, he was considered an outstanding disciple among his peers in the chamber.
His name was Yuan Lingshao. He might frequent brothels, but not many women could catch his attention with his arrogant personality. He was surprised to see two women of such quality at the same time. His heart stirred. He leaped off the ship and gracefully drifted through the air before landing before Xiang Shaoyun's group of three.
After landing, he lightly flung his long hair and revealed his confident and handsome face. "Nice to meet you, beauties."
After saying that, he unfolded his fan and started slowly fanning himself, trying to show his grace and elegance. He completely ignored Xiang Shaoyun, who was standing between the two beauties. The two women were disgusted by the frivolous young man before them. They completely ignored him.
As Xiang Shaoyun's good mood was ruined, he said indifferently, "A good dog does not block one's way."
Finally, Yuan Lingshao looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Are you not aware that trouble might come from your mouth? Out of respect for the two beauties, I will allow you to scram. Otherwise, you'll become fish food in the river."
Right after Yuan Lingshao finished his words, Xiang Shaoyun lifted his leg and kicked. Before Yuan Lingshao could react, an intense pain assaulted his belly, and he was sent flying toward the river.
Splash!
He fell into the river. The surrounding people were all stunned.
"What did I just see? Young Master Yuan was kicked into the river? Am I seeing things?"
"No, you're not. I saw it too. Young Master Yuan had provoked the wrong person and got himself bullied on his own turf."
"Who's that kid? I never saw him around before. He probably doesn't know who Young Master Yuan is. He wouldn't have dared to kick him otherwise."
"All three of them have an extraordinary presence. They probably have a strong background. Too bad this is Brightflower City. They won't be able to escape."
