Chapter 440 Alchemy Competition 17
The Ghost Emperor didn't say anything, but followed everyone's gaze and fell directly on Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu was somewhat embarrassed, his voice tinged with guilt: "Okay! He seems to have come back to life!"
The Ghost Emperor stared at Cheng Jiu and nodded, saying knowingly, "I see!"
"Why does Uncle-Master not seem surprised at all?" Cheng Jiu looked up, somewhat curious.
"Because he only had half a ghost spirit to begin with!" the Ghost Emperor calmly explained. Now that the person is alive, there's nothing wrong with explaining the secrets behind it!
"Half a ghost!" The other four exclaimed in surprise.
Anyone familiar with the Judge system knows how difficult and demanding it is to become a Judge. To be an exception with only half a ghost spirit requires exceptional ability and talent.
"Yeah, that guy only had half a ghost spirit when he appeared in the Ghost Realm."
If it weren't for the merits and virtues he possessed, and the fact that half of his spirit was too solid, he would probably have been devoured by those evil spirits in no time, let alone maintain the stability of that half of his spirit.
The Ghost Emperor knew everything about the Ghost Realm, not to mention his judges, whom he wanted to investigate thoroughly about their past and present lives.
But this one is an exception, because he has no memory, no origin, and no destination. Although he is only half a ghost, he is stuck in the ghost realm.
With accumulated merit, an immortal soul, and formidable abilities, even though it's only half the power, it's a truly tough nut to crack in the ghost realm.
He earned his position as a judge through hard work and skill in the ghost realm, fighting against evil spirits every day. He also leaned towards the order of the ghosts, thus establishing a formidable reputation in the ghost realm.
The Ghost Emperor hesitated for a long time before appointing him as a judge, and he also spent a lot of effort to help him complete the other half of the ghost spirit.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not die, or rather, he did not die completely. With the help of his friend and Cheng Jiu, he survived!
The Ghost Emperor rushed to find his lost subordinates, only to learn the devastating news that they were gone!
The Ghost Emperor's voice carried a barely perceptible resentment. Although it wasn't directed at Cheng Jiu, as half of the culprit, Cheng Jiu still felt somewhat guilty and dared not speak.
She dared not speak, and the others dared not utter a word either, for they had no connection with the Ghost Emperor.
As they remained silent, another figure appeared in the secret realm, breaking the stagnant atmosphere in the room.
"Master!" Cheng Jiu called out to the person who had arrived with delight.
"Immortal Lord Qingxu!" Upon seeing a familiar face, the other four breathed a sigh of relief; the Ghost Emperor's imposing aura was truly suffocating.
The two had met not long ago and did not exchange pleasantries.
"So you're here too!" The Ghost Emperor raised an eyebrow at Immortal Lord Qingxu.
Immortal Lord Qingxu: "It didn't notify you!"
The words of Immortal Lord Qingxu were so strange that the Ghost Emperor didn't react for a moment. After he did, he chuckled and glanced at the sky above, seemingly making eye contact with some being:
"That's not surprising. After all, once you've known each other for a long time, you get old and your looks fade, so you can't compare to a newcomer!"
Cheng Jiu and his group of five couldn't help but shudder. Was the Ghost Emperor really this kind of persona?
As he finished speaking, several muffled claps of thunder sounded in the sky, seemingly both expressing dissatisfaction and offering reassurance.
The Ghost Emperor snorted, regaining his composure, and looked at Immortal Lord Qingxu: "It seems you were also part of the scheme!"
Immortal Lord Qingxu gave Cheng Jiu a push: "As her senior uncle, you must stand up for her!"
The Ghost Emperor patted Cheng Jiu's head: "Don't worry, I will definitely show favoritism!"
Several more muffled thuds echoed in the sky before disappearing!
Cheng Jiu looked up at the sky. For some reason, even though nothing had just happened, she had a strange feeling that she was really favored. Cheng Jiu's gaze fell on the person in front of her. Had he done something?
