Chapter 127 – How dare you talk about face with me?

“This kid really has some nerve! Daring to kill so many members of the Bai Family.”

The gazes of the Giant Level experts converged on the deck of a warship, where a white-robed young man stood with his hands clasped behind his back.

…

“Who is it?”

Bai Zihan was furious—this time, he was truly enraged!

Over a dozen Invincible Realm experts from the Bai Family—how many years had it taken to accumulate such a foundation? And now, they had all been wiped out in one fell swoop.

“It’s him!”

The Bai Family Elder raised his hand, pointing toward a distant warship in the sky, and recounted the events with added embellishments.

After listening, Bai Zihan laughed in extreme anger, “Good, very good!”

With that, his gaze, like twin bolts of cold lightning, turned toward Ye Sheng.

“What nerve!”

On the other side, Tang Hongyi also listened, her Fox Mask emitting a faint, jade-like glow. After hearing the details, she too turned her gaze toward Ye Sheng on the deck, her eyes filled with admiration.

“Do you need help?”

Tang Hongyi’s voice was clear and crisp, as if she intended to assist Ye Sheng. This stunned the surrounding Giant Level experts! No one expected Tang Hongyi to involve herself in such a matter!

Ye Sheng looked up at her, smiled, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, “No need, thank you!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Hongyi let out a series of bell-like laughter, pointing at Bai Zihan and saying, “This fool… though a bit dim-witted, his Combat Power is quite formidable. You should be careful.”

Ye Sheng nodded, suddenly feeling that Tang Hongyi was rather interesting!

“Tang Hongyi!” Bai Zihan gritted his teeth, but the latter merely giggled, paying him no heed.

“Kid, members of my Bai Family are not so easy to kill!”

Bai Zihan stepped forward, ready to strike directly. His aura was fierce, and once unleashed, it carried an air of invincibility.

At that moment, Jiang Wuya, who had been largely overlooked, spoke up unexpectedly, “Giant Bai, give me some face. Can we discuss this matter later?”

Jiang Wuya sat cross-legged within a massive Sword Radiance Lotus, Sword Qi surging around him. He was actively trying to shield Ye Sheng from this calamity!

It wasn’t out of any goodwill—Ye Sheng still had uses for him later.

“Get lost! What face do you have? How dare you talk about face with me?”

Bai Zihan paid no attention to Jiang Wuya, treating him like an ant.

Although Jiang Wuya could rank within the top ten, he had never entered Bai Zihan’s Dharma Eye. How dare an ant like him jump out and talk about face? It was utterly laughable!

“You!”

Jiang Wuya was furious. He hadn’t expected Bai Zihan to show him no respect at all, publicly telling him to get lost. How was he supposed to save face now? For a moment, Jiang Wuya’s face alternated between green and white.

Just as Jiang Wuya was seething with anger, a dense ghostly mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shrouding the entire Black Wasteland.

An Aberration aura emerged simultaneously, and the roars of countless Malevolent Ghosts echoed from beneath the earth, as if something was about to break through the surface.

This sudden change caught everyone off guard!

But immediately afterward, their expressions shifted dramatically!

Especially the Giant Level experts—they instantly lost their mood for spectating, their faces turning grave with tension.

“Be careful, the Secret Realm Ghost Seed is about to emerge!”

Atop the Mechanical Ghost Dragon, Ghost Dragon, clad in gray robes, narrowed his eyes sharply, warning his nearby ally, Old Ghost Dong.

Old Ghost Dong was also experienced and naturally didn’t need the reminder to understand what was happening. However, as the Secret Realm Ghost Seed was about to surface, his expression grew tense with apprehension.

With the appearance of the Secret Realm Ghost Seed, what follows will be a life-and-death struggle among the Giant Levels. When the time comes, for the opportunity presented by the Secret Realm Ghost Seed, no one will hold back!

The fall of Giant Levels is inevitable; it’s just a matter of who will perish in this great battle.

In the air, Bai Zihan, who had charged halfway, abruptly halted his advance. His expression flickered with uncertainty, but he quickly and decisively chose to stop.

With the Secret Realm Ghost Seed appearing, if he continued to attack Ye Sheng at this moment, he would risk being entangled and losing the initiative, missing out on this extraordinary opportunity.

Bai Zihan naturally understood which was more important.

He looked at Ye Sheng with a fierce grin. “Kid, you’re lucky this time. If you manage to survive this, I’ll come back to kill you later!”

With that, he retreated to the Bai Family’s camp, his gaze fixed intently on the changes beneath the earth, his breathing growing slightly heavier.

“Whew!”

Behind Ye Sheng, Huang Wenyue’s face was pale, his forehead covered in sweat. Bai Zihan’s retreat allowed him to finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He was so close to Ye Sheng that if Bai Zihan had attacked, he would have been caught up in it. Yet, despite this, he had stubbornly refused to abandon Ye Sheng and flee.

Even Chu Zong and the others had not retreated, displaying remarkable loyalty in this one moment.

After all, if it hadn’t been for Ye Sheng back in Ghostfire City, none of them would have achieved such great gains. They all owed him a debt of gratitude.

Jiang Hao also did not retreat. He had retreated once before and would not do so a second time.

“We narrowly escaped disaster,” Du Yu said with lingering fear. Bai Zihan’s withdrawal had indeed allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

“The Secret Realm Ghost Seed is about to appear!” Han Liang said solemnly, watching the increasingly violent tremors in the earth and the thickening ghostly mist.

As both intensified, the aura in the world grew more and more eerie, as if something terrifying was about to emerge.

Du Yu asked, “Has anyone here seen what a Secret Realm Ghost Seed looks like? It can actually hatch an ancient city? That’s truly unbelievable.”

Such a thing defied common sense and was difficult to comprehend.

Jiang Hao, Han Liang, and the others all shook their heads, indicating they had never seen one before. Secret Realm Ghost Seeds were inherently rare, and the chances of discovering one were extremely low. This time, if someone hadn’t been drawn by the Aberration’s aura while tunneling underground, this Secret Realm Ghost Seed would never have been found.

Du Yu exclaimed excitedly, “Once the Secret Realm Ghost Seed bursts, it will rain equipment, including a large number of Mythical-grade Equipment. This is truly a feast!”

Han Liang nodded. “A feast indeed, but also extremely dangerous. However, there’s still a chance for Mythical-grade Equipment. When the time comes, the Giant Levels will be fully focused on competing for the 4th Revolution Mythic-Grade Set, leaving no room for distractions. The Mythical-grade Equipment will be up for grabs among us.

If we’re lucky enough to obtain Mythical-grade Equipment, we must flee immediately, or we’ll be besieged by countless others.”

As he spoke, Han Liang glanced at the densely packed figures on the Black Wasteland.

At this moment, with the Secret Realm Ghost Seed about to emerge, all the major Giant Level forces had arrived. Each Giant Level force had nearly ten thousand members, and combined, there were almost over two hundred thousand people on the Black Wasteland, all waiting for the appearance of the Secret Realm Ghost Seed.

Du Yu was also somewhat alarmed. As Han Liang had said, if Mythical-grade Equipment appeared during the equipment rain, it was likely that tens of thousands would compete for a single piece, and the ensuing slaughter could turn into a river of blood.

Jiang Hao said earnestly, “If we can seize Mythical-grade Equipment, we should. If not, we must give it up and focus on those Legendary Equipment instead. Never risk your lives over Mythical-grade Equipment!

Remember, our main focus next is to participate in the Federation Grand Examination. Don’t lose your lives here.”

“Exactly!” Du Yu nodded hurriedly.
