Chapter 46 – Woke up too hard! I must be dreaming!

Ye Sheng said, “It’s getting dark. Let’s rest here for the night and set off for Netherworld City tomorrow.”

“One night is more than enough!”

Song Xiaotian nodded contentedly.

They were all Cultivators; one night’s rest would restore their energy to its peak! He was already extremely satisfied!

“Thank you, Brother Ye!”

Song Xiaotian was very polite and thanked Ye Sheng.

The Ghost Mist Boat was also extremely fast, cutting through the sky in the blink of an eye!

Soon, it arrived above the Ghost Flame station and slowly descended.

…

“They’re here!”

In front of the Ghost Flame station.

Sun Zhuo and Zheng Gang looked up at the Ghost Mist Boat descending toward the station.

The boat was shrouded in thick mist, making it impossible to see the figures on board.

Sun Zhuo looked excited.

A Golden Deacon was staying at the station he was guarding.

This was a great opportunity to curry favor. If he did it well, he might even be able to ingratiate himself with this Golden Deacon.

Sun Zhuo had suffered enough from having no backing and was desperate to latch onto a powerful figure.

Beside him, Zheng Gang remained relatively calm.

With Jiang Hao as his backer, he didn’t need to flatter anyone else.

Unless it was a 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm Expert.

But Zheng Gang still maintained an extremely respectful demeanor.

Golden Deacons held a much higher status in Xuanming Pavilion than Silver Deacons. They were 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm Experts and not to be trifled with lightly.

“2nd Revolution Perfection Realm!”

Zheng Gang watched the gradually descending Ghost Mist Boat with a sigh.

There was a time when Zheng Gang had always hoped to step into the 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm, but it was too difficult.

After reaching 2nd Revolution Level 50, even advancing one level could take several years.

To cross from Level 50 to the 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm required an extremely long time.

Without special opportunities, one might only accumulate enough by old age.

Whoosh!

The Ghost Mist Boat descended from the sky, and the ghostly mist shrouding it slowly dissipated.

Then, two figures walked down from the deck.

“Greetings, Lord!”

Sun Zhuo and Zheng Gang bowed their heads, not looking up immediately.

Ye Sheng stepped off the Ghost Mist Boat, glanced at the simple Ghost Flame station, and then turned his gaze to the two Silver Deacons.

He knew that stations were guarded by Silver Deacons.

But when he clearly saw one of the two Silver Deacons, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“Zheng Gang?!”

Ye Sheng exclaimed in surprise, never expecting to run into Zheng Gang, whom he hadn’t seen for half a month, in a place like this.

“Huh?”

Zheng Gang was puzzled. The Golden Deacon before him had actually called out his name, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

He instinctively looked up.

“Ye Sheng?!”

Zheng Gang looked up and couldn’t help but cry out in shock when he saw it was Ye Sheng.

He staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

He never imagined that the person standing before him would be Ye Sheng!

What Golden Deacon?

“Do you know each other?”

Sun Zhuo looked at the two, puzzled.

Their expressions clearly indicated they were acquainted.

“More than just acquainted!” Zheng Gang smiled bitterly and then said, “Brother Sun Zhuo, I’m afraid we’ve been waiting for the wrong person. My friend Ye Sheng here is only a Bronze Steward.

The person we’re waiting for must be someone else.”

After saying this, Zheng Gang relaxed completely.

He had thought the person descending from the Ghost Mist Boat was a Golden Deacon!

But it turned out to be Ye Sheng!

And… that Ghost Mist Boat must belong to the young man beside him.

With Ye Sheng’s financial means, how could he afford such a Flight Treasure?

“Huh?” Sun Zhuo was stunned upon hearing this. They had waited for the wrong person? How could that be?

“Are you sure?” Sun Zhuo asked.

Zheng Gang was absolutely certain, waving his hand dismissively as he said, “I’m sure! He’s not the person we’re waiting for.”

“What are you two talking about?”

Song Xiaotian couldn’t stand it any longer, looking at Zheng Gang and Sun Zhuo with a puzzled expression.

These two Silver Deacons were acting so strangely?

Muttering mysteriously, they were actually saying they weren’t the ones the two were waiting for.

Wasn’t this underestimating them?

Who did they think they were looking down on?

Thinking this, Song Xiaotian grew somewhat indignant. He puffed out his chest, glancing sideways at Sun Zhuo and Zheng Gang as he said, “Hey, the message for you two to receive us was sent by me through the Xuanming Pavilion!

The people you’re waiting for are me and Brother Ye!”

“And… Brother Ye is definitely not some Bronze Steward like you said!”

Song Xiaotian looked at Zheng Gang with a warning in his eyes.

This person actually insulted Brother Ye.

He even said Brother Ye was a Bronze Steward.

Was there such a powerful Bronze Steward in this world? Honestly!

“Brother Zheng Gang, what exactly is going on?”

Sun Zhuo was completely confused.

Zheng Gang was also bewildered. He looked at Song Xiaotian, then turned his gaze to Ye Sheng, his eyes filled with doubt.

Seeing this, Ye Sheng gave a bitter smile, knowing it was time for him to explain.

At the moment, he had suppressed his aura, so with Zheng Gang’s cultivation level, he couldn’t see through him at all.

“Zheng Gang, the person you’re waiting for is indeed me!”

As Ye Sheng spoke, he no longer suppressed his 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm cultivation aura, slowly releasing it.

As Ye Sheng’s aura spread, the few people present immediately felt as if a great mountain were pressing down on them.

“It really is the aura of the 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm!”

Sun Zhuo’s eyes flashed. Although he didn’t understand what was going on with Zheng Gang, he no longer had any doubts and respectfully addressed, “Lord!”

Zheng Gang, sensing the aura emanating from Ye Sheng, widened his eyes instantly, his eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets. He stammered incoherently:

“How is this possible? Ye… Ye Sheng, when did you promote to the 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm?”

Zheng Gang was dumbfounded!

His mind buzzed incessantly, and his heart felt as if it were being struck by towering waves.

He clearly remembered that when he first met Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng had only just stepped into the 2nd Revolution Ghost Master Realm.

How could he have promoted to the 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm in the blink of an eye?

“Did I wake up too abruptly and am still dreaming?”

Zheng Gang patted his own cheeks, waves of pain surging through him. It didn’t feel like a dream.

But all of this was too unreal!

Beside him.

Sun Zhuo paid no more attention to the crazed Zheng Gang. Turning to Ye Sheng with a full smile, he extended his hand in invitation, saying, “Lord, please enter the station!”

Ye Sheng glanced at Zheng Gang, knowing he wouldn’t be able to process this anytime soon, and decided to ignore him.

Following Sun Zhuo’s lead, he took Song Xiaotian and headed toward the Ghost Flame Station.

Zheng Gang followed behind in a daze.

…

That night!

The Ghost Flame Station was lit with faint lamplight.

In the main hall, over a dozen tables were arranged for dining.

At one of these tables, Zheng Gang still sat with a bewildered expression.

Beside him, only Sun Zhuo kept him company.

“Brother Zheng Gang, do you really know this Golden Deacon?”

Sun Zhuo found it somewhat unbelievable.

This Brother Zheng Gang really knew quite a few Experts!

Knowing Elder Jiang Hao, a 3rd Revolution Ghost General, was one thing, but now another Golden Deacon had appeared.

Sun Zhuo secretly envied him.

“I know him!”

Zheng Gang nodded woodenly, still unable to accept in such a short time that Ye Sheng had surpassed him and become a Golden Deacon!

Sun Zhuo glanced around and whispered, “I heard he just returned from Ice Wind Valley!”

“Ice Wind Valley?” Zheng Gang asked, puzzled. “What about it?”

“You haven’t heard?”

Sun Zhuo widened his eyes. “Something major happened in Ice Wind Valley, and it might be related to him!”
