For the injured Ghost King, if the injury was inflicted by Jun Feng Tian, he could still console himself with the fact that his secondary body's power was slightly inferior, and he was not a match for him.
But Xun Wu You, a mere Innate Seventh Rank, who was almost two realms lower than him, almost took his life. Ghost King felt both shame and indignation.
Fei Chang Jun, a child of man and ghost, cultivated the heretical profound skill of "One Soul, Two Bodies," and he went further, using this method to create the art of "Externalized Body."
Thus, the birth of Ghost King.
The secondary body acted according to the will of the main body, and also possessed the ability to think independently. What the secondary body did, the main body had no knowledge of, but it would never rise to the idea of betrayal.
"Xun Wu You?"
Hearing this name, Fei Chang Jun's mouth curled into a subtle arc.
He had high hopes for Xun Wu You, and the plan to nurture the Demon Sword was also being implemented step by step.
"Xun Wu You is gifted and talented, with extraordinary bone structure. This is his advantage. Limited by his age is his shortcoming. How could he alone have injured you?"
Fei Chang Jun answered his own question: "Did someone back up Xun Wu You? Was it Law Confucian, Sword Confucian, or perhaps a Righteous Confucian?"
He had complete confidence in his secondary body. Xun Wu You would be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him in the future, but not now. Among the Four Confucian Sects under the control of De Feng Gu Dao, not many could hold a candle to him.
That leaves only the few who reside in the Hao Zheng Five Paths.
"Jun Feng Tian!"
Ghost King snorted: "This identity is too provocative to Jun Feng Tian. He saw the ghost mask on my face and drew his sword to strike. In terms of foundation, even you are slightly inferior to him."
Fei Chang Jun remained noncommittal.
Superior by half? That's not entirely true.
If he absorbed the Ghost Body and the secondary body, who would be stronger? That would have to be decided after a fight.
"Has Jun Feng Tian entered the world prematurely?"
Fei Chang Jun murmured: "This is a bit earlier than I expected, but it doesn't matter. Everything is still going according to plan."
He had meticulously planned everything, calculating the time when all the masters would enter the world.
He had set an appropriate ending for every strong individual.
Jun Feng Tian had arrived early, but he was still under his control.
Ghost King sneered: "The hidden stake of De Feng Gu Dao has been exposed. Do you know whose masterpiece this is?"
"Yu Li Jing, perhaps?"
Fei Chang Jun sighed.
To instigate Shu Dao Qian, the deputy chief who was second only to the leader, he had expended a lot of effort.
However, Jian Zhi Chi was captured, which was unavoidable.
It's just strange that Shu Dao Qian should have been hidden well, how was he exposed?
"It was Xun Wu You!"
Ghost King cursed hatefully: "This kid seems to have the ability to foresee the future. I was right there watching, Shu Dao Qian didn't even have a chance to defend himself, that kid exposed our secrets in two sentences."
After listening to Ghost King's words, Fei Chang Jun couldn't help but be moved.
How could this be?
How could Xun Wu You determine that Shu Dao Qian was related to his secondary body?
A blind cat catching a dead mouse?
Or was it a deliberate "false accusation" to confuse the situation, perfectly seamless?
"I'm not sure how much that kid knows."
Ghost King gritted his teeth and said: "But I'm sure he knows a lot of secrets. I even suspect he knows you're the mastermind behind all of this. We can't let this kid run wild anymore!"
"Hmm?" Fei Chang Jun asked: "What do you mean?"
"Kill him!"
Ghost King felt a nameless fear surge within him at the mere thought of Xun Wu You.
He was only an Innate Seventh Rank, facing an enemy like himself, he should have run as far away as possible.
Unfortunately, a series of precognitive insights seemed to indicate that he was the hunter instead.
Fei Chang Jun chuckled, thinking his secondary body was overthinking it.
Killing Xun Wu You would be easy. If the main body went out personally, how could he not succeed easily?
But if Xun Wu You was killed, who would nurture the sword?
"Don't laugh. I have a feeling he will be the biggest variable in your plan. This chess piece has a strong chance of leaping out of the board. If he becomes the player, we might end up losing the entire game."
Ghost King's serious tone aroused Fei Chang Jun's vigilance.
He pondered for a moment: "Let's wait. The Demon Sword is mine for the taking!"
"Are you willing to play with fire and burn yourself?"
Ghost King asked.
"Play with fire and burn myself?"
Fei Chang Jun smiled lightly: "By Xun Wu You? That's a long way off. A chess piece is a chess piece, it's not so easy to reverse the situation!"
"Di Ming has been less active recently. If you're worried about Xun Wu You growing too fast, you can use Di Ming's hand to suppress him. Just don't kill him."
Ghost King was surprised: "The Heaven-Shattering Prison Dragon Slash lacks a certain degree of finesse. Without a means to control Di Ming, if he turns against us, wouldn't we be even more passive?"
"Fei Chang Jun has his own plans. Just do as you are told."
"All of Shen Zhou is under my control. No one can escape Fei Chang Jun's control."
Fei Chang Jun clenched his fist and sneered: "Prepare more enemies for Xun Wu You and send them to him. The more blood the Demon Sword drinks, the more evil it will become!"
Fei Chang Jun was unwilling to abandon his plan of nurturing the Demon Sword.
This was his capital against Lin Tian Xing.
The Demon Sword, tempered with blood and the Imperial Qi of the Human Emperor, was specifically designed to target Lin Tian Xing, the Confucian Emperor.
This man had always been Fei Chang Jun's biggest obstacle!
It would be extremely difficult to bypass that towering figure, a creator comparable to Jiu Tian Xuan Zun.
With the Demon Sword suddenly appearing, Fei Chang Jun couldn't possibly miss this heaven-sent opportunity.
But... a sword is a double-edged weapon. It can harm others but also potentially harm oneself.
Ghost King nodded reluctantly.
The will of the main body was above all else. He could only try to mend the damage as best as he could if he sensed something amiss.
Fei Chang Jun opened a black hole and casually grabbed a half-dead ordinary Innate within it.
With a flick of his wrist, a leg with blood dripping from it flew towards Ghost King.
"Make do with this for now."
Fei Chang Jun acted as if he had done something insignificant: "Kui Yu Jiang's leg seems more suitable for you. When his destiny is broken, we'll deal with him then."
He was indeed the strongest among the Xuan Huang Three Transcendents. His words were domineering.
Kui Yu Jiang was not some small fry, he was a ruthless character who was on par with Ni Shen Yang.
In Fei Chang Jun's mouth, he seemed insignificant.
