Chapter 319: Ao Zhi's Gift: True Dragon Essence Blood [10,000 Words]
"There's something off about that Divine Sovereign. None of us saw his face clearly, and yet the area outside the Ghost Cave turned dark."
"It feels like a corpse, but how could a corpse have such power, or consume so much ghost qi and the Evil Ghosts?"
"What do we do now? Should we stop the Evil Ghosts from going out?"
"Yeah, it feels like we're sending them to their deaths, we can't alter the outside world anymore."
"Sun Shi, shouldn't you contact the people above?"
All the Ghost Emperors looked at Sun Shi.
Sun Shi, who had his eyes tightly closed, slowly opened them and said, "Naturally, we should notify them, but it's still too early. Let's wait for an hour before we do."
"Why wait for an hour?" one of the Ghost Emperors asked in confusion.
"Yeah, if you're going to notify them, do it quickly. What scheme are you up to now?"
"If it's too late and the people above find out, they won't spare us."
None of the Ghost Emperors agreed and wanted Sun Shi to make the contact immediately.
Honestly, if Sun Shi wasn't the only one able to reach the higher-ups, they would have contacted them already.
"I mean, are none of you using your brain?" Sun Shi said, scanning everyone with a slow voice.
"Sun Shi, I dare you to say that again."
"Do you believe I won't break your skull?"
Two of the hot-tempered Ghost Emperors immediately scolded him.
These two had the highest cultivation and were not afraid of Sun Shi.
"Everyone, calm down. I think I understand a bit of what Sun Shi means. The Dragon Corpse appeared too briefly, and if we report it now, the higher-ups might think we're lying."
"If we wait a bit, then say that we went through great hardship to find out that a Divine Sovereign Dragon Corpse is blocking the entrance, the higher-ups might believe us more."
"Also, we can say the Dragon Corpse consumed a large number of Evil Ghosts without any reaction, and that might lessen our punishment," Niu Ben said.
Hearing this, everyone thought about it and felt Niu Ben's words made sense.
"No, I think we should notify them immediately. This is a Divine Sovereign, even though it's just a Dragon Corpse, we must inform the higher-ups as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, if the higher-ups say we knew but didn't report and missed out on strategic advantages, they might directly deal with us?" a Ghost Emperor disagreed with the suggestion.
"Exactly, those above are ruthless, I think we should report sooner rather than later," another Ghost Emperor added.
"Everyone, shut up. The method to contact the higher-ups is with me, so let's do as I say and wait for an hour," Sun Shi forcibly decided, regardless of the others' opinions.
He also had his plans.
However, Sun Shi was not the strongest, so naturally, some Ghost Emperors were dissatisfied.
Immediately, two sides began to quarrel.
Niu Ben, on the other hand, stayed out of it, unaffected either way, as he was merely an undercover spy.
"Boss Niu, listening to your quarrels, does that mean you haven't contacted the Mysterious World yet?" Mu Rufeng suddenly started spirit communication with Niu Ben.
"Brother Mu, next time give me a heads-up, you almost scared me," Boss Niu was startled to hear Mu Rufeng's voice.
"How would I remind you? Anyway, I'm already talking to you," Mu Rufeng said.
"Seems so," Boss Niu replied.
"I say, Brother Mu, where did you get that Divine Sovereign's corpse? It's really amazing, directly blocking the Ghost Cave exit, making it impossible for us to do anything," Niu Ben said in amazement.
"Oh, I went to the Western Regions, and this Dragon Corpse was there. Used some small tricks to bring her here," Mu Rufeng said.
"Brother Mu, this Dragon Corpse is the method you mentioned, right? I must say, we truly have no other options now. Look, they're still arguing whether to report it now or later," Niu Ben said.
"More or less, and if they report it, what then? After all, didn't you say the Emperor Sovereign can't enter here, so even more God Realm entities would be wasted," Mu Rufeng replied.
"Strictly speaking, the Emperor Sovereign can enter, but it requires a definite cost, and they can only stay inside the Ghost Cave, unable to leave," Niu Ben explained.
"Hmm? The Emperor Sovereign can come at a certain cost?" Mu Rufeng's expression turned slightly serious.
"Rest assured, Brother Mu. Even if they come, there won't be many, because not every Emperor Sovereign can afford that cost. Plus, there's another crucial point: the vortex used to transport the Emperor Sovereign has a cooldown period."
"In total, only one Emperor Sovereign can be transported every three days. Forced transport of a second one would destabilize the vortex and shut it down, only reopening three days later," Niu Ben explained.
"That's good to know," Mu Rufeng nodded slightly.
"By the way, I almost forgot to ask, how many people have you recruited?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"I haven't gone back yet, and there aren't many people here. I've recruited five eighth-level Ghost Kings and one Ghost Emperor. The others will have to wait until I return to the Mysterious World," Boss Niu said.
"There are so few modern abnormalities here," Boss Niu added.
"There's a modern Ghost Emperor here too? Do you know them? Who are they?" Mu Rufeng asked in surprise.
"It's the one who hasn't spoken, that Ghost Emperor named Liu Zixun, CEO of a corporate power, used to have a few meals together," Boss Niu replied.
