Chapter 67 – We made a grave mistake!

Early the next morning, a faint mist enveloped the Xueming Tower, which stood over a hundred stories tall.

In front of Xueming Tower, the area was already bustling with activity. People came and went in the lobby.

On the 52nd floor, inside a high-end lounge.

Elders Cao Sui and Huang Chen sat leisurely, sipping tea and enjoying the rare tranquility of the early morning.

“Xiao Shang, do you have today’s newspaper?”

Cao Sui set down his teacup and looked up at a tall female secretary dressed in a black uniform.

Hearing this, the female secretary clasped her hands in front of her and replied with a smile, “Elder Cao, it’s still early. The morning paper hasn’t been delivered yet!”

Cao Sui shook his head. “The people below are getting lazier and lazier!”

Beside him, Huang Chen took a sip of tea and chuckled. “Brother Cao Sui, what’s the rush? In my opinion, there’s nothing worth reading in the morning paper anyway!

It’s been too long since anything major happened in the Netherworld Ghost Domain. Even if something did occur… it would only make the papers if some Mythical-grade Equipment was discovered in the ancient lands!

But after seeing it so many times, it’s nothing special anymore.”

After speaking, Huang Chen shook his head calmly.

The various factions in the Netherworld Ghost Domain had maintained a delicate balance for a long time, and no major incidents had occurred in ages.

All sides exercised great restraint!

As for the rogue cultivators, they were simply incapable of causing any significant trouble.

“You’re right! The morning paper is always filled with the same old news. Nothing new ever happens!”

Cao Sui nodded, feeling somewhat bored.

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and said, “I wonder how the Bai Family’s pursuit of that kid Ye Sheng is going?

It’s been several days now, and there hasn’t been any news. It’s a bit strange!”

Hearing this, Huang Chen nodded in agreement. “It is a bit strange!

Logically, if the Bai Family had killed him, they would have announced it with great fanfare.

But it’s been days now.

Ever since Bai Zhenping and his brother took an Invincible Realm Prodigy to pursue him, there’s been no word. Could something have happened?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, right? The Bai Zhenping brothers are Experts who have been entrenched in the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm for many years. How could they possibly fail in such a matter?”

Cao Sui said.

“That makes sense.”

As the two conversed, the female secretary turned and left the lounge to fetch the morning paper.

A moment later.

The female secretary hurried back, holding two copies of the morning paper, her face pale with panic.

“Xiao Shang, what’s wrong with you?”

Cao Sui turned to look and, seeing the secretary’s panic, couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

Huang Chen also looked over with a smile.

“Elders, last night… something major happened!”

The female secretary said, her voice trembling.

“Something major? What could possibly be so major?”

Cao Sui laughed heartily, his expression calm.

Huang Chen also chuckled lightly. “Tell us, what could have happened to make you so nervous?”

The female secretary continued, her voice trembling. “Last night, a base of the Bai Family… was massacred!

Over a hundred 2nd Revolution Perfection Realm Cultivators and more than ten Elders were killed.

Among them was Bai Tingyue, a 3rd Revolution Perfection Realm Cultivator.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Sui abruptly stood up, his face filled with shock!

Where was the calmness from just moments ago?

Beside him, Huang Chen, who had been drinking tea, spat out his tea in shock. He was equally stunned and widened his eyes to confirm, “What did you say? Even Bai Tingyue was killed in battle?”

“Which faction was responsible?”

Cao Sui asked nervously.

Being able to slaughter a Bai Family base must mean it was done by some faction.

This is tearing up all pretense with the Bai Family!

“Yes, this means going to full-scale war with the Bai Family!”

Huang Chen groaned, feeling things had escalated badly!

The forces in the Netherworld Ghost Domain had maintained a delicate balance; once someone broke it, it might trigger a chain reaction.

But then they saw the Female Secretary shaking her head, “No… it wasn’t any faction, it was one person!”

“One person?”

Hearing this, both of them froze!

One person could slaughter an entire Bai Family base?

What kind of joke was this? Were they being toyed with?

“Who was it?”

Cao Sui grew impatient—couldn’t this Female Secretary just say everything at once?

Did she have to make them ask question by question?

Then, the Female Secretary uttered a name that made the two of them unsteady on their feet:

Ye Sheng!

Even the Female Secretary herself breathed heavily after saying it!

Earlier, when she stepped out of the lounge to get the morning paper, she saw the entire Xuanming Pavilion building in an uproar, with people gathering in small groups, whispering and discussing.

All mentioning one name—Ye Sheng!

At first, she was quite curious and went over to eavesdrop.

Upon hearing about this incident, her first reaction was disbelief!

But when she got the morning paper and saw the content printed on it, she was utterly stunned!

That’s why she hurried back in such a rush.

“Could it be fake news?!”

Cao Sui’s first reaction was that it was fake news, or that the Netherworld Ghost Domain newspaper had mistaken the person!

Because this was simply too fantastical!

As far as he knew, Ye Sheng was still being pursued by Bai Zhenping and his brother—how could he have turned around and gone to the ancient lands, slaughtering a Bai Family base?

Moreover… how could a mere 2nd Revolution Cultivator possess such heaven-defying ability?

“Yes, could there have been a mistake?”

Huang Chen also looked unconvinced.

“It’s true!”

But the Female Secretary was absolutely certain!

She said the Netherworld Ghost Domain newspaper had written it clearly—there was a survivor from the Bai Family who could corroborate the incident.

Most importantly, two Elders from the Xuanming Pavilion had also been involved and could testify!

They claimed to have seen Ye Sheng with their own eyes!

“Impossible!”

Cao Sui snatched the Netherworld Ghost Domain newspaper from the Female Secretary’s hands and lowered his head to scrutinize it carefully.

As a result, he saw the news right on the front page headline.

Huang Chen’s gaze also swept over.

Moments later, the expressions of both men gradually turned dazed!

Based on the content in the Netherworld Ghost Domain newspaper, they had no choice but to believe.

Not only was there a survivor from the Bai Family to corroborate, but also two Elders from the Xuanming Pavilion.

“Jiang Gong and Fu Yuan saw Ye Sheng with their own eyes?”

“Could this incident really be true?!”

Cao Sui felt it was simply unbelievable, as if he were trapped in a dream.

If this incident were true, it could only mean one thing: Ye Sheng had stepped into the 3rd Revolution Realm!

And his Combat Power had reached the terrifying Invincible Realm!

Only then could he have accomplished all this!

Thinking of this, Cao Sui recalled the events from a few days ago.

Not long ago, when Ye Sheng withdrew from the Xuanming Pavilion, both of them had sneered, thinking he was just a small 2nd Revolution Cultivator—did he really think so highly of himself?

If he withdrew, so be it; it wouldn’t affect the Xuanming Pavilion in the slightest.

But now…

It seemed the Xuanming Pavilion had missed out on an Aberration!

They had pushed a Prodigy with immense potential right out of the Xuanming Pavilion.

After hearing this, Huang Chen also murmured to himself, “Ye Sheng stepped into the 3rd Revolution Realm? So heaven-defying?

What have we done?

Did we personally push such a heaven-defying Monstrous Talent out of the Xuanming Pavilion?!”

As he spoke, Huang Chen’s hands trembled, and his heart bled!

A 3rd Revolution Invincible Realm Prodigy!

This was by no means something any ordinary faction could possess!

Each one was a treasure!

Extremely rare!

Xuanming Pavilion originally had the chance to have such a prodigy, but now…

“Brother Cao Sui, I’m afraid we’ve made a colossal mistake!”

Huang Chen said.
