Chapter 838: Sword Ghoul
“A nobody? You’re telling me that a nobody killed Duanmu Longhua?” Xiang Weilong scoffed.
“He may be a nobody, but he is hardly powerless.” The black-robed person explained, “Joyless Ye is born from the humblest background, but he is extraordinarily talented and fortunate beyond imagination. Somehow, he was able to perfect Chaos Demon Ape Body and become a Grandmaster via his physical body through his and his power alone.”
“Chaos Demon Ape Body? Does he practice the ‘Chaos Demon Ape Body Tempering Sutra’?” Xiang Weilong asked.
“That is correct,” the black-robed person confirmed. “However, he has only recently become a Grandmaster.”
“Hmm?” Xiang Weilong grew puzzled. “If he has only recently become a Grandmaster, then how on earth did he kill Duanmu Longhua and even slay the three goddesses?”
“For one, Joyless Ye is no ordinary Grandmaster. Although his ascension is recent, he is much stronger than your average Grandmaster. But as you say, there is no way someone at his level could’ve killed Duanmu Longhua, much less slain the three goddesses. It was Wen Anran who helmed the operation that eventually resulted in their destruction.”
The black-robed person explained, “Wen Anran used Joyless Ye as bait to keep Duanmu Longhua and the three goddesses busy. During this time, she used her ‘True Martial Demon Subjugation Sword Scripture’ to destroy the Goddess Wall Paintings. As the three goddesses’ lives were tied to the Goddess Wall Paintings, its destruction led to their demise as well.”
“As for Duanmu Longhua, she suffered a grievous blow after the three goddesses died because her power was intricately tied to them. That was how Joyless Ye was able to pull off the impossible.”
“I see!” Xiang Weilong nodded. “And what is the connection between Wen Anran and Joyless Ye?”
