Chapter 1566: What Is The Emperor Plotting?
“The Heavenly Ghost Spirit Robbing Spell, the Six Heavens Ghost Eye... To think he’s a member of the Ghost Gate of Mount Mang. No wonder he managed to fool Lady Suyi’s senses,” remarked Feng Qingyou.
Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou were currently standing at the entrance of the alley. Their bodies were transparent, and their energies were ephemeral. Although they were standing right there, everyone passing through the area ignored them as if they could not see them or hear their conversation.
The Ghost Gate of Mount Mang was one of the thirty-six unorthodox sects. They were famed for their ghost arts and boasted over tens of thousands of ghost practitioners. They were helmed by Sages and extremely powerful. They were not inferior to the Five Profound Sects or the Nine Dark Ways in the slightest. They were also nicknamed Little Fengdu.
In fact, it was rumored that Fengdu could be behind the rise of the Ghost Gate of Mount Mang. Therefore, their nickname was a fitting one.
The Heavenly Ghost Spirit Robbing Spell and the Six Heavens Ghost Eye were the exclusive secret art and Magia of the Ghost Gate of Mount Mang.
The Heavenly Ghost Spirit Robbing Spell was a spell that allowed the intangible form of a Heavenly Ghost to steal the tangible form of a living being. It was such a hidden and traceless spell that it was said to be undetectable by ghosts, gods, and even the rivers of fate. It was one of the absolute best possession spells in the world.
Founded using the six Earthly Souls of the person closest to the practitioner, nourished using countless living souls, and stored inside the practitioner’s own head, the Six Heavens Ghost Eye was a spell that possessed the power to scrutinize the world down to the most minute detail, identify ghost and gods, and bind spirits and souls. It also boasted a concealment power that could supposedly hide the practitioner from even celestials and Buddhas.
Clearly, Niu wasn’t the original Niu. He had been taken over by this member of the Ghost Gate of Mount Mang since heavens-know-when.
As for why this person would go so far as to possess a retarded person and hide themselves in such a terrible environment, it was to spy on Lady Suyi, of course.
“Tch... Emperor Jing Run is a generous soul, isn’t he? I can’t believe he paid a Sage to pretend to be a retarded man!” Ye Qing remarked scornfully.
That’s right. The man who stole Niu’s body was a Sage. The Heavenly Ghost Spirit Robbing Spell and the Six Heavens Ghost Eye were incredible, sure, but if his cultivation level wasn’t up to snuff, then there was no way he would be able to fool Lady Suyi, much less show his face to the Sage every day and still remain undetected. The woman wasn’t blind after all!
As for who could afford to dispatch a Sage to spy on Lady Suyi, the answer was obvious. No one else but Emperor Jing Run could command such a man or afford such an expenditure.
