Chapter 2423: Chapter 2443: Do you think you can stop me?

Guo Cheng had climbed to his current status among so many adventurers not merely through brute force but through his brains as well.

After being intimidated by Ghost True Man’s words, he quickly regained his composure. If the old man before him dared to berate Master Floating Cloud and Liuyun so blatantly, then clearly he was no ordinary person.

Ghost True Man answered coldly, "Ghost True Man."

Suddenly, a series of gasps resounded from the crowd, and everyone’s eyesight filled with newfound awe when they turned toward Ghost True Man.

Ghost True Man was a notorious demon from the Northern Sea, and he had been captured too!

Guo Cheng’s expression changed, he was ruthless and fierce, but what was he compared to Ghost True Man?

A Minor Witch in the presence of a Great Witch!

Guo Cheng hurriedly paid his respects, "Guo Cheng has met the Senior, I was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai. Please do not take offense, Senior."

Ghost True Man nodded indifferently, "Can I join now?"

Without any hesitation, Guo Cheng replied, "It would be our fortune, our Revitalize, to have Senior join us."

Guo Cheng’s words were heartfelt—if it wasn’t for Ghost True Man, what would he have to contend with Master Floating Cloud and the others?

Even though they had already captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit, could they truly defend it with their own strength?

With such a formidable figure as Ghost True Man joining their ranks, their chances of victory naturally increased greatly.

Ghost True Man turned his head, his gaze provocative as he looked at Master Floating Cloud.

Master Floating Cloud spoke calmly, "Ghost True Man, have you forgotten the pain after your injury healed? Yearning for death again, are you?"

Everyone was astounded at these words.

From that tone, did it seem like Master Floating Cloud and Ghost True Man shared some grudge? Had they fought before, and Ghost True Man suffered a great loss?

With a cold laugh, Ghost True Man said, "You wish you could kill me, but I’m tough to kill. The Great One saved me, so how could I let you comfortably find the Phoenix Fire Spirit?"

Master Floating Cloud coldly retorted, "Do you think you, alone, can stop me?"

"Alone, naturally I can’t stop you, but with one more person, that should be enough, right?"

Ghost True Man turned his head to look into the distance, "Meng Daoyou, it’s time for you to reveal yourself."

A Middle-aged man with unremarkable features stood up from not far away and sighed, "Ghost cultivator, you really have put me in a difficult position."

Everyone turned to look at the middle-aged man, who was ordinary in every aspect, doubt evident in their eyes.

Was this middle-aged man that powerful?

Superior Prime Daluo Immortal?

How could it not seem that way?

Ghost True Man’s numb face broke into an eerie smile, "You might fool Others, but you can’t fool the Great One. What’s the point in hiding it, then?"

The Middle-aged man waved his hand, "Alright, Ghost cultivator, I will go with you, but please stop there, will you?"

Ghost True Man nodded, "If I had any other choice, I wouldn’t want to disturb fellow cultivator, but don’t you wish to seize the opportunity to regain your freedom?"

The Middle-aged man gave a grunt of assent, "Since you have called me out, let’s give it a try."

The Middle-aged man moved to stand beside Ghost True Man, his gaze indifferent as he looked at Master Floating Cloud and the others before speaking out, "Let’s go!"

Guo Cheng inwardly lamented. He had thought he was a dominator, but the truly powerful figures appeared one after another, especially this Middle-aged man—an old character who had been around for a long time.

He had a bit of an impression of the man who usually kept to himself, whose tasks were always barely completed, with nothing noteworthy, resembling someone struggling to survive. Yet today, he turned out to be one of the big shots.

Clearly, Guo Cheng had no illusions left; if they could really capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit, it would definitely belong to Ghost True Man and this Middle-aged man, not him.

If Ghost True Man and his group were willing to lead our group out, he would be thankful to heaven; of course, he had to survive till the end.

When the city gates burn, the fish in the moat suffer. In a clash between big shots, he, a Pinnacle Daluo Supreme Immortal, lacked even the qualifications to join, limited to shivering on the sidelines and performing odd jobs, drumming from the periphery.

Fortunately, they now had one advantage—they possessed Jiang Wenyun. Although a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal was powerful, with both sides interfering with each other, probably none would have the chance to focus on capturing the Phoenix Fire Spirit. In such a scenario, the Phoenix Fire Spirit would definitely escape to the depths underground.

He generally understood Ghost True Man’s plan—it seemed Ghost True Man and the Middle-aged man would contend and restrain Master Floating Cloud and his brothers, while the three of them would block any other interested party, with Jiang Wenyun infiltrating underground to assist in capturing the Phoenix Fire Spirit.

"Go!"

Master Floating Cloud, Liuyun, Xuanhe, and Lou Zihan leaped into the air and pursued Ghost True Man and the others.

Lin Chen’s mind echoed with Master Floating Cloud’s voice, "We will hold off Ghost True Man and the others. You follow stealthily, wait for the opportunity to dive underground and capture the Phoenix Fire Spirit. If successful, don’t worry about us, just escape through the underground and return to the Camp."

In a secluded area, Lin Chen stepped forth, his form disappearing into thin air as he trailed far behind Master Floating Cloud and the others.

At the same time, in a quiet Cave of the Camp, a flicker of red vanished in an instant.
