"Old scoundrel, meet your end!"

The Nether Ghost King let out a brash yell, thrusting his spear forward.

HUM!

WOO WOO!

The spear's thrust vibrated through the air, igniting countless spectral wails and howls, transforming the surroundings into a scene akin to a brutal Hell.

"So powerful!"

The elder in the golden robe gasped.

In his haste, he drew a longsword and barely managed to meet the attack.

Facing the overwhelming Nether Ghost King, without the support of the Sky Spirit Realm, he was unable to block the might of the King's spear.

BANG!

His longsword was instantly knocked away.

The spear's shadow flickered, and it immediately pierced his shoulder.

"Haha, old scoundrel, without the Heavenly Spirit Mirror, you're no match for me! Today, I will kill you!"

The Nether Ghost King laughed boisterously, swiftly thrusting his spear toward the elder's forehead.

This attack sealed off the surrounding space. The wailing and howling grew louder, turning the surroundings into a terrifying scene, like Hell itself.

The elder in the golden robe knew he could not escape this attack and simply closed his eyes.

"Father!"

Seeing her father struck by the Nether Ghost King with no way to fight back, Cat Bao'er rushed over.

However, she only managed to cover several meters before the dense black qi repelled her, preventing her from getting any closer.

From all directions, some Great Demons of the Sky Spirit Cat Clan at the Destiny Realm also rushed forward.

Their cultivation was not high, only between the Third and Sixth Layers of the Heavenly Order Realm, making them completely unable to stop the Nether Ghost King, a Ghost Cultivator at the Tenth Level of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

Just as the spear's tip was about to strike the elder's forehead, a large hand suddenly and firmly grasped it, halting the black spear's advance completely.

"Who is it? Who dares interfere with the affairs of my Ghost King Sect?"

The Nether Ghost King cried out in alarm and looked up.

He discovered a black-robed man, who had appeared out of nowhere, standing beside the golden-robed elder.

This man grinned widely, baring a mouthful of large white teeth, and chuckled, "Young Ghost, you've taken this joke too far."

The Nether Ghost King paused, stunned. He had never seen this black-robed man before.

Who in the world is this person?

He tried to wrench his spear back but found it wouldn't budge at all.

The black-robed man had effortlessly gripped the spear tip, his hold like a great mountain pressing down on the black spear, making it impossible for the King to pull it free.

Overcome with terror, the Nether Ghost King flicked his wrist, dropped the spear, and rapidly retreated.

Big Black Horse licked his lips and grinned. "Young Ghost, you're not getting away."

The next moment, Big Black Horse vanished from the elder's side and reappeared behind the Nether Ghost King.

He extended a finger and slammed the Nether Ghost King from mid-air down to the ground.

BOOM!

The Nether Ghost King smashed into the earth, gouging out a large crater.

Dust plumed into the air.

"Uncle Ma, we can't let such a vile ghost live! Kill him!"

At this moment, Big Black Cat ran into the square and shouted.

"Rest assured. This little ghost is full of tricks; I won't let him live."

Big Black Horse chuckled and slowly descended from mid-air.

The Nether Ghost King crawled out of the deep pit, coughing incessantly. He felt as if his internal organs had been severely damaged.

He couldn't help but stare in horror at the black-robed man before him.

This man… he's probably a Great Demon of the Life and Death Realm, isn't he? How could the Sky Spirit Cat Clan have a Great Demon of the Life and Death Realm watching over them?

Sensing the commotion outside, the golden-robed elder opened his eyes. He was astonished to find the Nether Ghost King struck down to the ground by the black-robed man and severely injured.

I never expected that on the brink of my death, this Great Demon of the Eternal Realm would actually intervene to save me. This isn't just saving me; it's saving the entire Sky Spirit Cat Clan! If I had died, none of the remaining clan members would have been a match for the Nether Ghost King. He would have slaughtered the entire Sky Spirit Cat Clan.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!"

He clasped his fists, bowed deeply, and said.

Big Black Horse waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need for formalities. You're a stubborn little old man, but you don't harbor any ill intentions."

Saying this, Big Black Horse pointed a finger in the air, and a bolt of lightning shot from his fingertip.

It instantly struck the Nether Ghost King.

With a loud BOOM, the Nether Ghost King shrieked as his entire body suddenly exploded.

Big Black Horse excelled in the Thunder and Lightning Ability, which was the nemesis of all ghostly creatures. Therefore, dealing with the Nether Ghost King was incredibly easy for him.

Seeing the crisis of her clan's annihilation averted just like that, Cat Bao'er was overwhelmingly touched.

She also quickly clasped her fists and bowed to Big Black Horse. "Thank you, Uncle Ma, for saving our lives!"

"Little Cat, no need for such politeness with me. We're all from the Dragon God Sect."

Big Black Horse waved his hand and burst into hearty laughter.

The golden-robed elder turned, walked over to Cat Bao'er, and said with a face full of shame, "My dear daughter, Father was wrong. I shouldn't have banished you from the clan. I formally retract what I said before, and I also apologize to you. If you wish to join the Dragon God Sect, go ahead. Father will no longer stand in your way."

Hearing her father's words, Cat Bao'er burst into tears, which flowed like rain.

She said in a trembling voice, "Father, the ancient painting probably hasn't disappeared. I suspect the Master has put it away."

"The Master?"

The golden-robed elder paused for a moment, slightly stunned. Who in the world is this 'Master'?

"The Master is the Master of our Dragon God Sect."

Cat Bao'er smiled through her tears. Just as she was about to turn and go outside to look for the black carriage, a white light suddenly flashed, and Ye Yun appeared beside her.

"No need to look. I've already put the ancient painting away."

Ye Yun said with a calm smile.

The golden-robed elder looked at the suddenly appeared white-robed youth, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and was inwardly astounded.

The white-robed youth showed no trace of a cultivation base, yet he exuded an incomparable sanctity, standing before him like a God, radiating boundless light, inspiring awe.

What kind of cultivation base is this?

The golden-robed elder groaned inwardly in helplessness; he couldn't imagine what level of cultivation the white-robed youth before him possessed.

"Greetings, Master."

Big Black Horse, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, and Big Black Cat hurriedly bowed in salute, their attitude extremely respectful.

Seeing this, the golden-robed elder was so shocked he resembled a statue.

Even a Great Demon of the Eternal Realm is so respectful. Then… then how terrifying must this white-robed youth's cultivation base be? Such a cultivation base… it must be at the Tenth Layer Peak of the Eternal Realm, at the very least, right?

Meanwhile, confirming that the Master had indeed put the ancient painting away, Cat Bao'er felt a little flustered.

"Master, is this painting useful to you?" she stammered.

Ye Yun nodded. "This ancient painting belonged to an old acquaintance of mine from the past. Seeing it stirs memories, so I put it away. However, I will compensate the Sky Spirit Cat Clan for your loss."

When Ye Yun finished speaking, the golden-robed elder's eyes widened, and tumultuous waves surged in his heart.

If the white-robed youth knew the Demon Ancestor from the ancient painting… then who on earth is he?

He looked at the handsome, white-robed youth before him and said respectfully, "Senior, you saved our Sky Spirit Cat Clan. Such a great kindness is something we could never ask for repayment for. Although this ancient painting is precious, if Senior needs it, please, feel free to take it."

"I don't take advantage of others for free."

Ye Yun shook his head, a faint smile gracing his lips.

He glanced around and said with a smile, "The ancestors of your Sky Spirit Cat Clan once served Yun Xiao as Demonic Pets. Tens of thousands of years ago, they must have been boundlessly glorious, but now they've fallen on hard times. How about this: why don't you also join the Dragon God Sect?"
