Chapter 2431: Chapter 2451: The Despair of Ghost True Man

Us?

Ghost True Man froze, "The person who handed over the Phoenix Fire Spirit hasn’t returned to the camp?"

"We don’t know, everyone is discussing it!"

Ghost True Man released his grip, his eyesight filled with doubt.

Could it be that the person who saw the Phoenix Fire Spirit was planning to escape again, afraid that they wouldn’t be able to catch it later, so they took matters into their own hands and captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit?

As Ghost True Man thought this, his eyes suddenly brightened a bit.

Thinking this way, it made sense.

Of course, Ghost True Man wanted to gain freedom, but more than that, he wanted to deal with people like Master Floating Cloud. If it weren’t for them, how would he have nearly died, how did he turn from a regional demon into a slave?

With his strength, even as a slave, he could live very well, after all, there weren’t many enemies who could take his life given his strength.

He didn’t want Master Floating Cloud and the others to have it easy, even if he couldn’t leave, he hoped to drag them down with him.

Since the Phoenix Fire Spirit wasn’t in his possession, it didn’t matter who got it, as long as it wasn’t Master Floating Cloud and the others!

Wait and see!

Let’s see who it is!

Ghost True Man sat down on a chair, and it wasn’t long before Master Floating Cloud and the others walked in from outside.

Ghost True Man’s gaze swept over them but suddenly froze.

Accompanying Master Floating Cloud was a person he hadn’t seen until now, Lin Chen.

A twinge of alarm went through Ghost True Man’s heart, where had this kid been just now?

He was clearly Master Floating Cloud’s apprentice, yet why had he always been acting alone, never joining Master Floating Cloud and the others? Even when Master Floating Cloud and his group had caught up earlier, there was no sign of him, but now here they were together, laughing and talking!

There was a problem!

In an instant, Ghost True Man associated Lin Chen’s recent abundant gains. Guo Cheng had previously suspected Lin Chen to be a burrower and had sent people to gather information, but Lin Chen displayed his Divine Power, truly a Fire Path Immortal.

Master of both fire and earth?

Could it be?

Something even more unsettling caught Ghost True Man’s attention—he saw Steward Chen, who had always been sitting with a cold face, suddenly stand up, his face wearing a pleasant smile, heading over to greet Master Floating Cloud and the others.

Ghost True Man’s heart sank abruptly, this was bad.

Steward Chen approached Master Floating Cloud, envy unmistakable in his eyes, "Congratulations, congratulations, the Master has ordered that I attend to the remaining matters for you."

Master Floating Cloud replied politely, "Thank you, Steward Chen."

"Please wait a moment."

Steward Chen turned and headed toward Ghost True Man, whose heart suddenly beat faster. What was he going to do?

Stopping in front of Ghost True Man, Steward Chen spoke calmly, "The antidote for the poison in your disciple’s body, hand it over."

Ghost True Man’s eyes widened instantly, and in that moment he thought about many things but did not expect the other party to be asking for the antidote on behalf of Lou Zihan.

Ghost True Man asked gravely, "Steward Chen, was it they who obtained the Phoenix Fire Spirit?"

Steward Chen nodded, "Yes."

Ghost True Man felt as though his brain had been hit with a stick, buzzing with noise.

The worst has come to pass.

He didn’t resist and obediently handed over the antidote—after all, his life had been saved by that individual, and if he did not obey, that person could kill him anytime they wished.

After giving the antidote, he couldn’t help but ask, "Have they all obtained their freedom?"

"Yes."

Leaving behind those words, Steward Chen turned and walked back to Master Floating Cloud’s side, handing him the antidote.

Lou Zihan, looking at the antidote in Master Floating Cloud’s hands, felt as if he was dreaming.

No wonder Master Floating Cloud and the others seemed so relaxed; it was them, no, it was Lin Chen hiding in the shadows who captured the Phoenix Fire Spirit, and they were even willing to take him with them to leave and help him demand the antidote.

In that moment, Lou Zihan’s heart was full of gratitude.

In the past, he had done many evil deeds; initially, he had been forced by Ghost True Man, but later he gave up on himself and committed quite a few more. He never expected Lin Chen and the others to still be willing to give him a chance at life.

Oh, they intended to strip him of his powers, turning him into an ordinary person to live out the rest of his life.

Even so, that was a very good outcome!

"Everyone, please follow me!"

Steward Chen led Master Floating Cloud and the others away, countless gazes filled with envy landed on them.

At that moment, they harbored countless thoughts, wishing to be taken along, to have them convey messages to their families, to their sects, but they knew it to be utterly impossible.

The Roulette Secret Realm was a channel for her to collect labor; how could she possibly allow these people to divulge information about the Secret Realm?

All they could do was watch helplessly as Steward Chen led the group away from the camp, their figures vanishing into the desert outside.

Steward Chen soon brought them to the location of the Teleportation Gate from the previous day and then smiled, bowing, "Everyone, just wait here."

Steward Chen cast them an envious glance before turning to leave.

Master Floating Cloud looked around, "Are they sending us back to the Roulette Secret Realm?"

Liuyun answered, "There must be a built passage and positioning between the Roulette Secret Realm and here. Returning the same way is definitely the least effort; otherwise, without positioning, getting back to the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain would take an unknowable amount of time."

Out of nowhere, Luo Hongdan’s voice sounded in the air.

"If you want to return, you must first swear an oath, the matters of this place must not be disclosed."

Lin Chen and the others readily complied; after all, the issue was of great importance, and exposure could cause a massive uproar.

Once the oath was complete, a white Light Point appeared above the desert, quickly expanding before finally stabilizing into a Teleportation Gate several people tall.

"Enter this Teleportation Gate, and you will return to the Secret Realm, head south, and you will find the exit, leaving the Secret Realm."

Lin Chen looked up and asked, "Ghost True Man is set on killing me. Is there any chance for him to leave?"

"His life was saved by me; he will never be able to leave."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he couldn’t leave; you might as well sincerely repay your debt!

"Senior, I take my leave!"

Luo Hongdan’s voice echoed in Lin Chen’s head, "The matter I’ve discussed with you, you cannot tell anyone, including your master..."
