Under Zhang Yue’s vengeful assault, both the Chen’s Army and Radiant Guild suffered heavy losses once again!
Both families began to question their life choices.
Radiant kept blaming Chen’s Army, after all, if they hadn’t listened to them, they wouldn’t have easily provoked Zhang Yue again.
Chen Jun was utterly puzzled: “Impossible! How did that guy clear the dungeon?”
Several vice presidents of the guild were in heated discussion:
“According to those who have entered the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon, the task is to find Ghost Xishi and take her out of the ghost city within the dungeon. Many have found Ghost Xishi, but she refuses to leave with them no matter what.”
“But why did she willingly leave with Zero after he went in? I don’t get it, why?”
“Because he’s more handsome than us?”
In the Chen’s Army meeting room, the guild officials sitting around the table fell into silence.
“Although we can’t deny… that kid does have some looks!”
Finally, someone addressed the main issue: “Setting that aside, shouldn’t we consider what we should do next?”
“The old grudges weren’t settled, and now there are new ones. Given Zero’s nature, he won’t let us off this time!”
“Sigh! What a disaster…”
When the news reached Ling Ao, the director of Radiant Guild, he couldn’t even stand steady and fell back into his chair.
The leaders of Radiant Guild were in a panic.
“What should we do now? Even a dungeon that hasn’t been cleared in a hundred years was taken down by Zero. That kid’s strength was already extraordinary, and after gaining a boost from this dungeon, he’ll be even more invincible!”
“It’s no exaggeration to say, if that kid reaches level three or four hundred, his strength could dominate the entire Dragon Kingdom!”
“Why did we provoke him? If only we had allied with Zero from the start like the Tian Family did!”
“It wasn’t even our business, but we got dragged into this mess by Chen’s Army! That Chen Jun from Chen’s Army, he really deserves to die!”
Meanwhile.
In the Sixth World.
After the news of Radiant and Chen’s Army being defeated spread.
Lin Tian, Wu Haotian, Tian Yu, and Tian Xin’er found Zhang Yue in the Ice Soul Forest of the 45-level map in the northern part of the City of Ice and Snow.
Zhang Yue stood tall among the corpses of countless Nether Warriors, his ID glowing red to black, holding a staff brimming with magic.
Having just finished a battle, the massive body of the Twenty-Four Winged Apocalyptic Black Dragon descended from the sky, landing beside Zhang Yue.
A deafening dragon roar echoed through the clouds.
On the other side, the Hell Skeleton King and Shadow Predator stood nodding!
Under the moonlight, the scene was awe-inspiring.
Even the Overlord Blade couldn’t help but exclaim, “Such presence, there’s no one else like him except the Xiu Luo God!”
Ouyang Ling’er said, “The Xiu Luo God was deified later on, the early Xiu Luo God might not have been as powerful as our guild leader!”
Tian Xin’er gazed at Zhang Yue with her beautiful eyes, lost in thought: “So cool!”
Tian Yu grew increasingly fond of Zhang Yue, his brother-in-law.
He wished he could carry Zhang Yue back in a grand procession and have him marry his sister tonight, making him his brother-in-law for real!
He immediately instructed the thousand Tian Family professionals with him, “Brothers, help Zhang Yue clear his Sin value!”
With the Tian Family’s strong support, it took only two hours for Zhang Yue to clear tens of thousands of Sin points, restoring his ID to white.
Only then did everyone have the chance to ask Zhang Yue about his dungeon journey.
“Guild Leader, how did you clear the dungeon? Tell us!”
“Yeah! How did you make Ghost Xishi willingly leave with you?”
“Didn’t the Binding God Technique work?”
Hearing this, Zhang Yue was puzzled: “What Binding God Technique?”
“Goodness!” Wu Haotian was incredulous: “Boss, don’t tell me you still don’t know you’ve been under the Binding God Technique?”
“Oh!” Ouyang Ling’er realized: “Our guild leader must have cleared the dungeon in one go without dying, so the Binding God Technique’s effect didn’t manifest!”
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ling’er couldn’t help but laugh heartily: “It’s hilarious! I wonder how Chen Jun would feel knowing that the Binding God Technique he painstakingly acquired from Japan had no effect on our guild leader, not even a trace of presence!”
Back to the main topic.
Looking back, Zhang Yue was quite grateful to Chen’s Army and Radiant.
Because if it weren’t for them, Zhang Yue wouldn’t have come from Zhening Province to Tianjing to log into the Eighth World, and wouldn’t have entered the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon exclusive to Tianjing’s login area.
Thus, he wouldn’t have been able to meet “Cherry,” whom he had personally settled in the Ghost Domain a hundred years ago, also known as the legendary Ghost Xishi!
A hundred years ago, while conquering the Fifteenth World [Hell Dynasty], Zhang Yue accidentally acquired a ghost pet named Cherry.
But since Zhang Yue was a Warrior in his past life, he couldn’t tame Cherry or level her up, and since Cherry recognized Zhang Yue as her master, he couldn’t give her to other Beast Tamer professionals.
Zhang Yue had no choice but to part with her.
Moreover, Cherry was a princess of the [Hell Spirit Clan] in the Fifteenth World, and after the Hell Spirit Clan’s demise, Cherry would be hunted by other races due to her identity.
Based on Cherry’s identity, Zhang Yue could only settle her in the Eighth World Ghost Domain, which suited her.
For certain reasons, when Zhang Yue was conquering the Fifteenth World in his past life, he had already moved from Zhening to Tianjing, so the final settlement location in the Eighth World was also Tianjing.
Zhang Yue promised Cherry: One day, he would return to find her.
Thus, Cherry used her consciousness to form a self-protection circle in the Eighth World Ghost Domain, which later became the hidden dungeon Night of the Ghostly Wedding.
She waited quietly in that ghost city for her master, Zhang Yue, to return for her.
Cherry never complained, nor did she dare to leave that place.
Because she feared that if she left, her master wouldn’t be able to find her when he returned.
So Cherry waited for a whole hundred years!
Of course, Zhang Yue couldn’t be entirely blamed.
Mainly, Cherry’s self-protection consciousness was so strong that it erased the memories of everyone who left the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon.
As a result, Zhang Yue forgot about her after leaving…
Until he saw Cherry again, the memories from a hundred years ago were awakened in Zhang Yue’s mind!
So, for over a hundred years, everyone who entered the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon knew that Ghost Xishi was waiting for someone.
But no one knew who she was waiting for.
And the one she was waiting for was Zhang Yue!
Of course, Zhang Yue could only keep these thoughts to himself, explaining to Ouyang Ling’er and the others, “Maybe I fit her criteria for choosing someone.”
“Then… what about the Ghost King?” Li Yue asked, “I heard the Ghost King is an 8-star BOSS! And it has a powerful skill that can reduce a professional’s attributes by 60%! How did you kill it?”
“I couldn’t kill it,” Zhang Yue admitted, “Cherry did.”
“Who is Cherry?”
“Ghost Xishi.”
Everyone was shocked: “Is Ghost Xishi that powerful? She can kill a BOSS that even you couldn’t, doesn’t that mean her strength surpasses yours?”
Undeniably.
Cherry’s strength indeed surpassed Zhang Yue’s, and by more than a little.
Of course, if Wu Haotian and the others knew that Cherry was originally an immortal-level BOSS, they wouldn’t be so surprised…
At this moment, Li Yue lamented: “It’s a pity we haven’t seen her yet, I really want to see what Ghost Xishi looks like!”
“No worries, you can see her if you want.”
Saying this, Zhang Yue turned the [Demon Contract] ring on his hand.
In the next second, a beam of silver light shot out from the ring.
Under everyone’s gaze, a figure gradually appeared within the light…
