Chapter 283: Chapter 0283: Destroying the Ghost Poison Sect

"Assassinate Chu Ge?"

Duan Shaojie’s eyes widened as he looked at Ghost-faced Man. "You’re not joking, right? Chu Ge is the pinnacle of Postnatal Martial Artists, not to mention the battle over the lake where he even slew the Middle-stage Innate Shi Wanwang. You’re asking me, a mere commoner, to join you in killing such a monster who has transcended humanity. How is this any different from sending me to my death?"

"Hmph, you people always lack foresight. Do you really think Chu Ge is invincible and that no one can deal with him?"

Ghost-faced Man sneered, and since Duan Shaojie didn’t show any obvious resistance, he took it as a sign of acquiescence. He didn’t prepare to make another move but simply dragged a chair over and sat down in front of Duan Shaojie.

When he said this, Ghost-faced Man’s head shook slightly. If he removed the mask, one could see the smug look on his face.

"What do you mean by that?" Duan Shaojie glanced subtly towards a corner and then probed.

Duan Shaojie’s slight movement went unnoticed by Ghost-faced Man, who continued, "So Chu Ge believes he’s invincible in Shanghai just because he managed to slay an Innate? Hehe, I think he was barely scraping by during that kill. He might even have suffered some latent injuries. What if he were besieged by two Innates at the same time? What would happen then?"

"Two Innates?" Duan Shaojie was taken aback.

Although he was just a commoner, the Ghost Poison Sect had always maintained a certain contact with the Duan Family, so he knew some about the hierarchy in the Martial Arts World.

Innate, that’s a level capable of founding sects. One Innate is already incredible, and the Ghost Poison Sect could invite two at once?

Plus, there was Gui Futu, who was killed by Jian Chunqiu’s sword on the Public Sea, making it a total of three Innates!

"Hehe, I didn’t expect there’d be a pleasant surprise!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in the room.

The moment the voice sounded, Duan Shaojie retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and the Ghost-faced Man. But at that moment, Ghost-faced Man could no longer concern himself with Duan Shaojie, as an overwhelming sense of crisis enveloped him—the crisis between life and death!

"Weren’t you just planning how to kill me? Why are you afraid now that I’ve come in person?"

Accompanied by the voice, a young man in his early twenties stepped out from behind the curtains in the corner and sat down in the chair where Duan Shaojie had been sitting, facing the Ghost-faced Man.

Beneath the ghost mask, cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

How is this possible! Before entering the room, he had scanned the place with his True Qi and found nothing. And to be cautious, after entering the room, he scanned again, but still, except for Duan Shaojie, there was no sign of life.

How did this guy manage to hide?

Although, he was indeed incredibly powerful, Ghost-faced Man firmly believed that unless someone had ascended to Innate, reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man, and locked all their essence within the body to prevent the slightest leakage, it would be impossible to evade his detection!

However, what he didn’t know was that as long as Chu Ge wished it, even someone in the Divinity Realm would not be able to detect the slightest trace in his body.

Such is the marvel of the Cultivation Technique within the Jade Pendant.

"To tell the truth, I really didn’t expect that you all had two Innates hidden in Shanghai!" As Chu Ge spoke, a profound chill emanated from his eyes.

Thankfully, he had asked Jian Chunqiu to secretly protect Mu Bingtong’s safety; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

"Duan Shaojie, how dare you betray the Ghost Poison Sect!" The Ghost-faced Man, looking at Duan Shaojie hiding behind Chu Ge, his teeth clenched tightly together.

Seeing the Ghost-faced Man’s demeanor, Duan Shaojie couldn’t help but shrink back behind Chu Ge.

However, Chu Ge snorted coldly and suddenly vanished from his seat. Before the Ghost-faced Man could react, he felt a tightness around his neck, and then he was hoisted off the ground by Chu Ge, who had him by the throat!

"How can there be... someone so fast!"

This was the real inner portrayal of the Ghost-faced Man, who had not witnessed the previous battle on the lake and had only read some information. In his cognition, Chu Ge was merely at the level of an Innate, and should not even be on par with one.

As for the slaying of an Innate, he thought it also involved a great deal of luck.

But it was only when Chu Ge truly made his move that he understood the terror of this young man in front of him!

"I’m not a patient man, and I only want to know two things. First, where are all the strongholds of the Ghost Poison Sect in Shanghai. Second, where exactly are those two Innate hiding!"

After finishing his words, Chu Ge slightly loosened his grip, giving the Ghost-faced Man a chance to speak.

But, after coughing a few times, the Ghost-faced Man struggled to roar: "You... dream on! Even if you kill me, our lords will surely avenge me. Chu Ge, I’ll be waiting for you on the road to Hell!"

Chu Ge’s expression changed, and he looked at him with a cold laugh: "How nice, another tough nut to crack!"

"Is this room soundproof?" Suddenly, Chu Ge turned his head, looking back at Duan Shaojie and asked.

Duan Shaojie was stunned for a moment, then he hurriedly nodded and said: "It’s not soundproof, but the room next door is specially designed for soundproofing. I’ll take you there right away!"

After leading Chu Ge to that room, Duan Shaojie stepped out. Actually, he wanted to stay in the room, as staying with Chu Ge could be safer, but what was coming next was clearly something Chu Ge didn’t plan to let anyone know about, so he chased him out beforehand.

Duan Shaojie, watching the moon peek through the dark clouds, silently lit a cigarette.

Before he could take a few puffs, a faint scream emanated from the room, so intense that even the floor beneath his feet trembled slightly.

Duan Shaojie’s smoking motion paused.

This room was designed by him personally, so he naturally knew how effective the soundproofing was. Probably even the sound of fireworks wouldn’t penetrate it, which showed the power of a Martial Artist, and... the inhuman torture he was undergoing!

The screams lasted a full five minutes. As the door opened softly, Chu Ge walked out.

Taking the opportunity, Duan Shaojie quietly glanced into the room, only to see bloodstains everywhere and a person lying motionless on the floor.

"No need to look any longer, the man’s dead. Take care of the body later." Chu Ge approached Duan Shaojie and said indifferently.

"Aye, sure, I understand!" Duan Shaojie quickly nodded.

"Mhm." Chu Ge nodded and said, "You go to my estate tonight, here’s the key. After tonight, there will no longer be a Ghost Poison Sect in Shanghai!"

When he uttered the final sentence, Chu Ge’s tone became incredibly cold and stern.
