The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1571 - 1568: Envoy

The three Ghost Clans each sent powerful figures to attend the negotiations.

During the discussion, the Desolate Ghost Clan and Qingming Ghost Clan advocated for a counterattack, aiming to reclaim Ghost Dragon City.

After all, Ghost Dragon City is a renowned heroic city in the entire Ghost Great World, possessing countless resources coveted by the three clans. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have held on to Ghost Dragon City so tightly.

Now, the layout of the three Ghost Clans in Ghost Dragon City has been completely uprooted, resulting in significant losses for the clans.

Thus, they must regain control of Ghost Dragon City within the shortest possible time; otherwise, the impact will be enormous.

Traditionally, the Evil Ghost Clan within the three Ghost Clans has advocated for killing to stop killing, being the most ferocious.

However, during this negotiation, the Evil Ghost Clan chose to play it safe and didn’t plan to attack first.

But with two of the three Ghost Clans voting for an attack, the Evil Ghost Clan had to comply with the majority.

Seeing the decision to battle Ghost Dragon City’s Nine-story Pavilion was near, the Evil Ghost Clan grew anxious.

Thus, the Evil Ghost Clan directly revealed that, in twenty days, the mysterious Ghost Land will awaken—a significant opportunity for all ghost clans—and no mistakes can occur before this time.

The Evil Ghost Clan proposed to send a warning to the people of the Nine-story Pavilion, emphasizing the importance of the mysterious Ghost Land.

After resolving the mysterious Ghost Land matter, they would visit Ghost Dragon City to uproot the Nine-story Pavilion.

Ultimately, this decision by the Evil Ghost Clan convinced the Qingming Ghost Clan. With Qingming Ghost Clan’s ’defection’, the Desolate Ghost Clan had no choice but to concede.

Thus, each of the three Ghost Clans dispatched an envoy to Ghost Dragon City to negotiate with the people of the Nine-story Pavilion, demanding they withdraw from Ghost Dragon City within a month, or face severe retaliation from the three Ghost Clans.

Ghost Dragon City.

Nine-story Pavilion.

After handling today’s intelligence, Bai Zhiyu prepared to enter cultivation.

However, at this moment, Bai Zhiyu sensed a fluctuation.

"Hey, coming so slowly?"

Bai Zhiyu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

In the next instant, Bai Zhiyu vanished from the Nine-story Pavilion.

Upon reappearing, he was already within the Desolate Ghost Clan of Ghost Dragon City.

The current Clan Leader of Desolate Ghost Clan in Ghost Dragon City was Huanggui Choukuang.

This young Supreme of the Desolate Ghost Clan was supported by Bai Zhiyu to take power, governing the entire Ghost Dragon City.

Despite his youth, his strength is at the Supreme Realm, and he possesses pure blood from the Desolate Ghost Clan, easily commanding respect within Ghost Dragon City, aided by Bai Zhiyu’s covert maneuvering, placing the entire Ghost Dragon City under control.

Upon seeing Bai Zhiyu arrive, Huanggui Choukuang respectfully saluted, "Huanggui Choukuang greets the master."

Bai Zhiyu nodded slightly, saying, "You’ve got visitors from the Ancestral Land, go meet them."

Huanggui Choukuang froze momentarily, then respectfully said, "Yes, Master."

Bai Zhiyu gestured for Huanggui Choukuang to lead the way, following behind him to the Desolate Ghost Clan’s great hall.

Upon reaching the great hall, no visitors were seen.

Huanggui Choukuang felt somewhat puzzled.

However, seeing Bai Zhiyu remain silent, he did not ask further, waiting quietly.

It wasn’t long before Huanggui Choukuang heard sounds from outside.

"Damn it, how did your Desolate Ghost Clan take over my Qingming Ghost Clan’s territory?"

"My Evil Ghost Clan’s territory as well?"

The two elderly voices were filled with fury.

"How would I know, I just arrived too."

Another elderly voice retorted, seemingly also bewildered.

Wasn’t it said that all three Ghost Clans in Ghost Dragon City were annihilated, and the entire Ghost Dragon City fell under the control of the Nine-story Pavilion?

Yet upon arrival, they discovered that the territories of Qingming Ghost Clan and Evil Ghost Clan were entirely occupied by the people of Desolate Ghost Clan.

This enraged the two experts from Qingming Ghost Clan and Evil Ghost Clan, demanding answers from the powerful figure of Desolate Ghost Clan.

Thus, the trio ventured to the Desolate Ghost Clan to investigate the situation.

"You are... Chou Kuang?"

Upon stepping into the great hall, the elder of Desolate Ghost Clan paused upon seeing Huanggui Choukuang.

"You little brat, did you take advantage of the situation to ambush my Evil Ghost Clan and Qingming Ghost Clan?"

The elder from Evil Ghost Clan grinned, revealing serrated, sharp teeth, gazing coldly at Huanggui Choukuang.

Though the elder from Qingming Ghost Clan remained silent, his gaze indicated that if Huanggui Choukuang’s words faltered, he would immediately take action.

Relations among the three Ghost Clans have always been delicate, usually involving life-and-death struggles every era, and a misstep can ignite war.

In their eyes, Huanggui Choukuang’s actions were sufficient to incite civil war within the three Ghost Clans.

"Little Chou Kuang, what’s going on, and why are you in the Clan Leader’s seat now?"

The elder of Desolate Ghost Clan also inquired gravely.

Accompanied by the two old men from Qingming and Evil Ghost Clans, he came to Ghost Dragon City as an envoy, but the present situation made things exceedingly complex.

If word returned to the Ancestral Land, it might result in the Desolate Ghost Clan being accused of taking over Ghost Dragon City, killing experts from Evil Ghost Clan and Qingming Ghost Clan.

Though indeed the Desolate Ghost Clan had such intentions, they would never act on them.

Nor could they.

Huanggui Choukuang looked at the three elders, his gaze somewhat flustered, saying in a low voice, "Everyone’s dead; I didn’t want chaos in Ghost Dragon City, that’s why I acted."

"You brat, even then, you shouldn’t occupy the territories of Qingming Ghost Clan and Evil Ghost Clan!"

The elder of Desolate Ghost Clan glared and lightly rebuked. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Huanggui Choukuang scratched his head, showing slight embarrassment.

Seeing this, the two elders from Qingming and Evil Ghost Clans refrained from saying more, merely snorting in discontent.

"By the way, is Elder Jilong here to aid Ghost Dragon City?"

Huanggui Choukuang looked at the elder of Desolate Ghost Clan, asking hopefully.

The Desolate Ghost Clan elder was named Huanggui Jilong.

Upon hearing this, Huanggui Jilong exchanged glances with the two elders from Qingming and Evil Ghost Clans, seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.

Huanggui Jilong shook his head, saying, "This matter is major, and our three Ghost Clans’ Ancestral Land has dispatched experts. For now, there will be no troops sent to Ghost Dragon City."

"Then why have you come this time..."

Huanggui Choukuang’s face turned slightly pale.

Huanggui Jilong chuckled bitterly, saying, "In truth, our visit this time is as envoys, to negotiate with the Nine-story Pavilion. If they leave Ghost Dragon City, the three Ghost Clans can temporarily let bygones be bygones; if they refuse, in twenty days, we will launch extensive retaliation."

"Oh?"

"What kind of extensive retaliation?"

Bai Zhiyu emerged from the shadows, smiling as he looked at the three from Huanggui Jilong.

The trio from Huanggui Jilong changed colors abruptly.

Simultaneously, Huanggui Jilong looked toward Huanggui Choukuang, angrily saying, "How dare you betray the Desolate Ghost Clan?!"

Huanggui Choukuang regained a serene expression, standing respectfully behind Bai Zhiyu, whispering, "Acting under Master’s orders; is that betrayal?"
