Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 525
Chapter 525: 525
Everyone looked at the two portraits that he pushed forward, and both Lan and Xue Wei felt as if their hearts stalled in their chests .
One of the two portraits that he pushed forward was precisely that of the person that was behind their visit to the Ghost Realm . It was Lin Zhiqing .
The other was Xue Wei's father, and thus, the person that the branch leader did not recognize was Tie Haolong .
However, neither Xue Wei's father nor Tie Haolong were that important at this moment; both Xue Wei and Lan had all their focus on what the branch leader had said .
He recognized Lin Zhiqing . He knew her . She still existed within the Ghost Realm . It was as if a heavy boulder which had been pressing down on their shoulders for a long time had suddenly been removed, and both Lan and Xue Wei felt a strange sense of relief and hope, but also a small amount of fear, not completely daring to believe it .
They had been prepared to stay in the Ghost Realm for years to locate her; however, the first high ranked ghost they encountered happened to know her; it was almost too good to be true .
The branch leader seemed to notice their hesitation and the complex emotions within their eyes, and he chuckled slightly . He did not get insulted by their lack of belief in his words .
He understood that this woman was likely the main reason for them to have come to the Ghost Realm, and thus it made perfect sense for them to be slightly skeptical .
The branch leader was relatively certain that these two living beings had arrived recently . He was amongst the highest ranked ghosts within the entire realm, and thus he would have heard some rumors if they had been here longer .
Not to mention, anyone who had stayed here for a longer period of time would have been able to locate the woman that they were looking for .
"This woman is known as Qin Yi . She is the leader of the regional capital within another region . I am not sure whether or not you know the region; it is called the Full Moon Region, which is amongst the stronger regions within the Ghost Realm . It has ninety-six counties under its banner, and only the Endless Abyss Region has more counties than this one .
"The Full Moon Region is somewhat famous as it is amongst the Ghost Realm's richest regions . It has a lot of naturally appearing Yin Energy, and at the same time, quite a few ghosts who dissipate, making it so that much spirit liquid can be harvested . "
Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise . To think that she was the leader of such an important region . It seemed that she had not been wasting the time she had stayed within the Ghost Realm .
"It is also because of her identity that I will need to contact her before I can make any decisions on her behalf . " The branch leader was aware that it was not suitable for him to make any decisions on her behalf, but he did feel that no ghost would decline a chance to leave this desolate and glum realm .
"How long will it take to contact her?" Xue Wei was also rather pleasantly surprised by the fact that they could find her so easily, and he genuinely hoped that she would join them sooner, rather than later, as they would be able to cut their journey short .
He was very interested in the Ghost Realm, and it was a heaven for those who cultivated Qi, but he was not enjoying his stay here . It was very gloomy, and it affected his mood . The depressing darkness, the lack of life, the whole atmosphere, which was full of death, it was truly uncomfortable .
However, he had to check whether or not he would be capable of locating his old friend, Tie Haolong, and he also wished to find his father . While his father would be unaware of what had happened when he had been alive, Xue Wei still wished to see how he was faring in this Ghost Realm .
Also, since Lan had a way to bring Lin Zhiqing back to the world of the living, then he might be able to bring a few as well . His father had died to atone for his sins, so if he were returned to the world of the living, then Xue Wei would not blame him anymore . He would even intercede for him when facing his uncle .
However, Xue Wei had no intention of looking for Tie Haolong and his father before finding Lin Zhiqing . Although this ghost knew her, they still had to actually meet up with her .
The branch leader also noticed that this woman was the most important, so he put the two other portraits away and began focusing on her .
"I will contact her as soon as possible . It will take two days, at most to receive an answer . Why don't you stay at my manor until we receive the reply? I can promise you that we do not harvest any of our guests, and as long as you are within my manor, you will be completely safe and protected, even the little female ghost which is following you around . "
Xue Wei could feel the politeness of the ghost, and he nodded his head . The branch leader had some ulterior motives for getting close to them, and after considering it for some time, Xue Wei realized that this ghost most likely wished to leave the Ghost Realm alongside them .
While Xue Wei was not sure whether or not it would be possible, he was not against forging a good relationship with the branch leader, so he quickly accepted the offer .
