Mortal: Supreme Being of the Ghost Path

Two days later.

On the sea surface dozens of miles away from the Void Heaven Palace, a white light flashed out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman appeared there, surrounded by light; it was Qin Han and Yuan Yao.

As soon as Qin Han appeared, his gaze swept around to determine the direction.

The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, its surface shimmering in the sunlight. In the distance, a few desolate rocky islands could be vaguely seen, but there was no trace of any cultivators.

Without pausing for a moment, or even glancing at Yuan Yao again, he transformed into a cloud of dark ghostly mist and shot off in a certain direction, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Yao stood there, watching the disappearing light, and exhaled a long breath.

She felt only relief at surviving the ordeal.

That old ghost is finally gone! Her experience in the Void Heaven Palace still haunts her.

"It's good that you're alive."

Yuan Yao took a deep breath, suppressing the lingering fear in her heart. Without time to think, she also transformed into a wisp of black smoke and flew in the opposite direction from Qin Han, disappearing in the blink of an eye on the other side of the sea.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Han flew away with a clear direction.

His destination was naturally Tianxing City.

According to the original owner's memories, Tianxing City was the largest gathering place for cultivators in the Inner Star Sea, and also the headquarters of the Star Palace.

The city has a teleportation array leading to the outer sea. Although the teleportation fee is quite high, it is nothing to him now.

"We must leave the inland sea as soon as possible."

Qin Han secretly made a plan in his mind.

The matter of the Void Heaven Palace cannot be kept secret for long; only by escaping to the Outer Star Sea can we avoid the limelight.

However, there is a problem when entering Tianxing City.

Qin Han frowned slightly.

If he remembered correctly, an identity ring was required to enter Tianxing City.

That's an identity token issued by the Star Palace to cultivators; without the identity ring, you can't enter the city at all.

But he doesn't have that item now.

According to the original plot, this is a sensitive time. The Reverse Star Alliance is making moves, and with the Void Heaven Palace incident, it is almost impossible to obtain the identity ring through legitimate channels.

At such a sensitive time, any registration related to identity would leave a trace. Having finally escaped from the Void Heaven Palace, he was unwilling to be targeted by others so easily.

"Can a living person be killed by holding their pee?" Qin Han sneered, already having a plan in mind.

At worst, we can find some unlucky guy, steal his identity ring, change our appearance, and sneak in!

As long as we can enter Tianxing City and take the teleportation array to the outer star sea, it's worth it no matter what means we use.

Thinking of this, Qin Han's gaze turned cold, and his escape speed increased even more.

……

As Qin Han was traveling and pondering how to enter Tianxing City, his escape light suddenly stopped.

He hovered in mid-air, his face suddenly turning cold, and he released his divine sense without reservation. After a few breaths, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

After a few dozen breaths, two long rainbows, one blue and one red, suddenly pierced through the sky in the distance!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Qin Han, and with a flash of light, two middle-aged cultivators were revealed.

One of the two men was fair-skinned and beardless, resembling a scholar, while the other had jet-black, shiny skin and was a burly, strong man.

As soon as the two men appeared, they stared coldly at Qin Han without saying a word.

Qin Han stared back at the two people in front of him and saw that they were both at the Core Formation stage and were dressed in silver robes and gold belts.

Qin Han recalled the plot of the original work and naturally guessed the identities of the two people in front of him. If he remembered correctly, these two should be righteous cultivators from the Reverse Star Alliance.

Thinking of this, Qin Han suddenly remembered something else, and immediately glanced down at the calm sea below, a cold smile creeping onto his face.

"Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?" Qin Han asked with a cold expression and a half-smile.

"We are the Reverse Star Alliance..."

Upon hearing Qin Han's words, the scholar-like cultivator patted his storage bag at his waist, from which a beam of light flew out. After the light faded, a token-like object was revealed.

He raised the token at Qin Han, about to say something, but Qin Han interrupted him without any politeness.

"Fellow Daoist, are you suggesting that a Star Palace cultivator has fled towards my location and you wish to assist me in investigating?"

How did you find out...?

Upon hearing this, the scholar-like cultivator was startled and was about to ask further when he heard Qin Han snort coldly. Ghostly mist surged around him, and as he quickly formed a hand seal, black mist swirled in his other palm, and a gilded gourd appeared!

"disease!"

Qin Han gave a low shout, quickly pulled out the gourd lid, and pointed the gourd mouth at the pale-faced scholar in front of him.

But then a flash of dark light appeared at the mouth of the gourd, and a golden thread as thin as a hair shot out from it, reaching mid-air in the blink of an eye, its speed was unbelievable!

The golden thread floated silently in mid-air, then suddenly released a large plume of thick, black fog.

Immediately afterwards, a giant eye slowly emerged from the black mist!

Upon closer inspection, it was at least half a zhang in size, with wisps of black energy emanating from its eye—it was truly eerie!

Upon seeing this, the pale-faced scholar was startled, and then his expression turned icy cold, as if he was extremely annoyed by Qin Han's sudden attack without saying a word.

He made a move to pat the storage bag at his waist, but at that moment, the scholar felt a tingling sensation in his Niwan Palace and briefly lost consciousness, floating there blankly in a daze!

At the same time, that eerie giant eye was already above the top of his head.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding golden light, as thick as an arm, shot out fiercely and instantly struck the scholar.

That's truly terrifying!

The golden light instantly turned the scholar into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even his storage bag behind.

Another burly man witnessed the entire process and was immediately stunned.

But the person quickly realized what was happening. Before he could think any further, his body flashed red light, and he was about to transform into a streak of light and escape.

But how could Qin Han agree?

In an instant, a pitch-black seven-story pagoda appeared in his palm. It was the ancient treasure "Soul Locking Pagoda" that he had obtained from the young master of the Ghost King Sect!

Without a word, he tossed the tower into the air, and it immediately grew larger, reaching several meters in size in the blink of an eye. As the eerie-looking ghost bead at the top of the tower hummed and trembled, a dark blue halo swept towards the red streak of light in front of him like a tide.

At the same time, the burly man who was fleeing with all his might changed his expression drastically. A strange, dark blue aura surrounded him, and then an invisible force of confinement completely enveloped him.

This made him instantly anxious. He hurriedly raised his hand to form a hand seal, and at the same time, his internal magical power surged out, trying to shatter this strange halo.

But at that moment, he felt weak and powerless all over. His magic power suddenly leaked out, and his limbs felt like they were filled with lead, so he couldn't move an inch.

Just as the burly man was feeling desperate, a sharp black light appeared behind him without warning, piercing his chest with overwhelming force. After piercing his body, the black light strangely transformed into a thick ghostly mist.

Thus, the strong and muscular cultivator, whose face was filled with resentment, first felt a strange and chilling aura emanating from his body, then was enveloped by a thick fog of ghostly mist, and finally let out a heart-wrenching scream.

As the ghostly mist dissipated, a stark white skeleton, with wisps of flesh still clinging to its surface, plummeted straight down into the sea below...
