Chapter 1382 All Puppets of the Ghost Realm!

"King Lin!?"

"Greetings, King Lin!"

Nan Weiyun blinked, almost thinking he was hallucinating.

After confirming that it was indeed Lin Wudi's return, Nan Weiyun prostrated on the ground, like seeing a deity, worshiping devoutly.

The other three, after momentarily being stupefied, also knelt on the ground, bowing in reverence.

Lin Wudi's return signified their complete freedom.

It also meant their master, Nanyuan King, could finally return to his roots and be buried in his ancestral land.

From this moment on, Nan Weiyun and the others were all tearful.

"During the time I was away, nothing unusual happened here, right?"

Lin Mu stood skyward, asking casually.

Back in the First Shi Men Realm, his feelings were deeply complex, as if returning to another home outside Earth Blessed Land.

Nan Weiyun hurriedly replied, "The Heavenly Realm Guard once sent third tribulation thunder here, searching for your whereabouts. Eastern Luo King, having learned the method of the tribulation thought treasure you bestowed, killed all of them."

The Heaven's Mandate Organization, due to issues with the life-saving charm, scarcely dispatched any more people into the Forbidden Sand Sea.

As for the Black List, due to the demise of the Black List Leader Zai Si, it was like a frightened bird, not daring to linger near the Tianfang Crossing, having already fled without a trace.

Only the Heavenly Realm Guard, with its vast forces, continued sending second and third tribulation powerhouses into the Shi Men Realm.

But Eastern Luo King, with formidable strength himself and mastery of the Ten Kings Command, coupled with the tribulation thought treasure, even if faced with several third tribulations, would not be overpowered.

Throughout the year, thanks to Eastern Luo King's protection, the First Shi Men Realm was very safe.

"Not bad!"

Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Only then did Nan Weiyun and the other three dare to rise, looking with some apprehension at Ku Hai beside Lin Mu.

"King Lin, is this... an Otherworld creature?"

Nan Weiyun asked cautiously.

Due to the matter of Nanyuan King's remains, they had bound their lives to Lin Wudi.

Yet the obvious aura of an Otherworld creature on Ku Hai made them uneasy.

Despite Lin Wudi now appearing as an enemy to all, he was actually confined to a small range.

The status of Lin Wudi as a Great Fate Bearer made many Heavenly Realm Guards Marshals and Vice Marshals hesitant to intervene.

But if Lin Wudi were exposed as colluding with Otherworld creatures, he would truly become an enemy to all.

Lin Mu did not answer Nan Weiyun's question, instead nodding towards Ku Hai.

Ku Hai grinned, deliberately casting a fierce glance at Nan Weiyun and the others.

Under the shocked gaze of the four, Ku Hai began to unabashedly release his aura.

"Six... six tribulations overlord!"

Nan Weiyun and the other three stared dumbfoundedly at the fearsome creature before them, eyes filled with shock.

In the Heavenly Realm, a six tribulations Otherworld creature had appeared.

This was no Demon Race!

Demonic Beasts wishing to enter the Heavenly Realm, unpressed by earthly constraints, had to transform into Demon Race.

Yet this monster had entered the Heavenly Realm in its original form!

"King Lin, you must go!"

The next moment, Nan Weiyun and the others did something that confounded Ku Hai.

The four simultaneously unleashed tribulation thunder thoughts at Ku Hai, while blocking the path between it and Lin Wudi.

Confronted with an unexpectedly appearing six tribulations Otherworld creature, they did not doubt Lin Wudi's loyalty to the Heavenly Realm, nor did they retreat in fear.

With a second tribulation cultivation level, they launched a suicidal attack against a six tribulations overlord.

"These guys seem different from the humans I met before..."

Ku Hai's expression turned peculiar.

Earlier, seeing Lin Wudi treating the second tribulations with such leniency despite being his master, Ku Hai felt disgruntled.

Intentionally releasing his aura, he wanted to intimidate these people.

Originally intending to watch them scream and flee, perhaps even doubt Lin Wudi's loyalty to the Heavenly Realm.

But their response was unexpected.

One might say, worthy of the people deemed significant by his great master?

"Ku Hai, stop playing around!"

Lin Mu sternly reprimanded Ku Hai.

Ku Hai quickly said, "Great master, this servant admits fault..."

Not daring to delay, he hastily performed the Art of Ghost Path, gathering the ghost specter.

Though Lin Wudi had previously swept through the ghost specter of the entire Shi Men Realm, the ever-present nature of ghost specter meant some slipped through the net.

This time, Ku Hai caught them all.

"G-great master?"

Nan Weiyun spoke, his voice stuttering.

He never expected this fierce-looking six tribulations monster would actually be Lin Wudi's slave.

A regular person's slave is typically a level or two lower for easier control, preventing backlash.

Yet Lin Wudi, with a four tribulations cultivation, had taken a six tribulations creature as a slave.

Such courage, such power, truly fitting of Lin Wudi!

All four felt deeply moved simultaneously.

Thinking they understood all of Lin Wudi's greatness, they realized they had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

Each time, Lin Wudi could accomplish feats that left them astonished and speechless.

This time, Ku Hai's power hadn't increased much, as there wasn't much ghost specter remaining.

After storing the ghastly qi in the Tower of Myriad Realms, Lin Mu flew through the air, heading towards the Invincible Palace.

Nan Weiyun and the others silently followed, occasionally glancing at the equally silent Ku Hai.

Lin Wudi left for a year and returned bringing a six tribulations Otherworld creature as a slave; who knows what transpired during that time?

Nan Weiyun and the others felt they might have missed many exciting events.

In the First Shi Men Realm, originally numerous cities existed.

But after Lin Wudi had swept away the ghost specter, the cultivators in these cities all hurried with a yearning heart towards the former Nan Yuan Royal City, now the Invincible City.

Thus, as they traveled, they saw barely anyone.

Not until the six approached near the Invincible City did someone notice them!

"Enemies invading! Alarm!"

It was a patrol composed of second tribulation cultivators.

Upon discovering a six-colored light on the tower, signifying a six tribulations presence, Eastern Luo King sent patrol teams to all directions of the Shi Men Realm.

Since Luo Chen and others perished, no overlord-level powerhouses had appeared for a long time.

This made everyone in the Invincible City very tense.

Ku Hai's massive form was particularly conspicuous, first to be spotted.

After calling for help, those people suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"Lin... King Lin!"

"Greetings, King Lin!"

The entire second tribulation patrol knelt in salute, faces brimming with joyous excitement.

A whole year had passed without a trace of Lin Wudi.

The Invincible City was already filled with panic.

They never expected Lin Wudi to return at this moment.

Ku Hai glanced at these people and transmitted to Lin Mu, "Great master, earlier I thought it was just an isolated case, but now I see people here; their tribulation thoughts are mixed with ghost qi seeds, which is not a good sign... Do you need me to remove the ghost qi seeds for them?"

Ghost qi seeds were initially a method of invasion by the Ghost Realm, familiar to Ku Hai.

But beyond other worlds, none were as reckless as those from the Heavenly Realm, accommodating so many ghost qi seeds into their tribulation thoughts.

These people looked seemingly safe, yet in actuality were puppets of the Ghost Realm.

Should the Ghost Realm desire, they could explode anytime, becoming nutrients for the ghost specter, opening a spatial passage for the Ghost Realm.
