"Master, let's continue forward..."

The Tower Ghost's voice trembled as it echoed within, slowly but without causing any breath fluctuations, moving toward the Great Qin border.

It could feel Wu Liang inside him now in a state of unprecedented rage.

Unlike an ordinary person who'd take action when angry, Wu Liang, apart from breaking his own fingers at the start, did nothing else.

The entire person stood like a statue inside the Tower Ghost, motionless.

From time to time, a few gritted words could be heard from his mouth—

"Rental Ghost..."

"Thunder Ghost..."

"Oil Paper Umbrella..."

With each name Wu Liang uttered, the anger in his eyes grew more intense.

Even though the Tower Ghost was not aware of what had happened, it could guess to some extent from Wu Liang's current state and the names of those Fierce Ghost minions.

Most likely, those Fierce Ghost minions sent out to find the First Emperor's location have disappeared forever.

This inevitably made the Tower Ghost, also a Fierce Ghost minion under Wu Liang, feel a trace of sadness.

Yet, there was only sadness in the Tower Ghost's eyes.

No resentment or dissatisfaction with Wu Liang's plan just now.

Because it knew that if it were one of those sent out to find the First Emperor and got caught by Da Yi, it would also choose to sacrifice itself.

As for why it would do so...

The Tower Ghost couldn't say.

Perhaps it was because the Ghost Compendium still held some brainwashing influence over them; or maybe because Wu Liang had never considered abandoning them and continued to grow stronger with all the Fierce Ghost minions; or perhaps it had recognized Wu Liang as its master from the depths of its soul — a master who was barely in his twenties.

In any case, at least since the Tower Ghost began following Wu Liang, it could notice changes in itself.

Not just power changes, but something intrinsic within its soul was being transformed.

At least one thing was very peculiar and something all the Fierce Ghost minions couldn't understand—

Ever since they were tamed by Wu Liang, they've never again felt the impulse to massacre or even devour humans.

In a sense, the Tower Ghost and all the Fierce Ghost minions now are not too sure whether they are still Fierce Ghosts.

"Boss, I found the First Emperor."

Nightmare's sudden voice echoed in Wu Liang's mind through the Ghost Compendium.

Without any hesitation, Wu Liang immediately used Ghost Shadow Following to swap places with Nightmare.

The surrounding environment instantly became an open plain, where Wu Liang didn't have time to observe the exact location of the First Emperor, and immediately gathered all the Fierce Ghost minions searching outside back into the Ghost Compendium.

After all, the longer they stayed outside, the higher the chance for them to be caught and exorcized by Da Yi each minute.

"Boss... are we... missing a few bros..."

Once they were all back in the Ghost Compendium, Puppet then noticed that several Fierce Ghost minions' entities hadn't returned, and not a single bit of their aura could be felt.

For a while, aside from the Tower Ghost, only the original old employees were left among Wu Liang's Fierce Ghost minions.

"Yes, they sacrificed themselves." Wu Liang responded calmly, but all the Fierce Ghost minions could feel the murderous intent hidden beneath this calmness.

Just like the best calm before a storm, at the moment when the time is right, they had no doubt Wu Liang would unleash this murderous intent on Da Yi, erasing him completely from this world.

Of course, not now.

The current urgent task is to reunite with the First Emperor to drive those three Great Venerables out of Great Qin's territory for safety.

Wu Liang raised his head gazing at the plain.

No, instead of a plain, it's more like a shallow sea, with vast amounts of seawater flooding the entire plain. Even the occasional small peaks around only show their summits like footholds as floating islands in the sea.

Amidst the endless blue seawater stood an imposing and serene Emperor in the center.

Within five meters of him, not a drop of water was seen, appearing as if he was wandering leisurely in the ocean like an Immortal.

"How long can you trap me? Half an hour? Or ten minutes?" The First Emperor's voice was not loud, but in Yue Du and Poseidon's ears, it was as torturous as needles.

The key is they couldn't refute!

After all, the First Emperor wasn't exaggerating.

The current situation is Yue Du deploying the Dark Moon to press down the First Emperor from above, while Poseidon used the Ocean Law to restrict the First Emperor's ground movements.

The two Great Venerables didn't even dare to face the First Emperor directly, hiding in the darkness and the sea, only trying to prolong the time while hoping Da Yi could quickly find the anomaly Fierce Ghost.

Even so, Poseidon felt increasingly trapped.

At the start, the First Emperor was submerged in seawater, but in less than ten minutes, the water could no longer get within five meters of him.

He could even move slowly within the ocean a bit of distance.

As the First Emperor said earlier, perhaps within half an hour, this seawater would no longer be able to restrict his actions.

"First Emperor... I'm back..."

Wu Liang's voice quietly resounded in the First Emperor's ear without any sign or trace, not even the two other deeply focused Great Venerables could hear it.

Clearly, this was the work of the reality Law.
