This gave them a sense of being valued by the Blood Emperor, a feeling that far surpassed their anticipation of great gains in this place.
“The Blood Emperor… still remembers me… still remembers me…” A higher-ranking Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner’s eyes were bloodshot with excitement. It was long ago, when the Blood Emperor had just started cultivating, that they met. At that time, they had a passing acquaintance, but as the Blood Emperor rose rapidly in strength, and his own power progressed slowly, the distance between them grew wider and wider.
Now, having barely cultivated to the Saint Lord Realm, he could be considered part of the higher echelons of the Netherworld, but at the lower end of that group, he wasn’t much. He came here, boldened by the disturbances and seeing many powerful Ghost Practitioners arrive, but what was happening here was beyond his reach.
When he heard that this formidable Spirit was the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, he was also shocked. Later, when the Blood Emperor ordered them to leave, he simply sighed inwardly without giving it much thought.
Unexpectedly, the Blood Emperor still remembered their past acquaintance and allowed him to stay and cultivate here.
Indeed, although the Blood Emperor didn’t elaborate, apart from this reason, he couldn’t think of any other that would allow him to stay and cultivate here.
The fact that so many Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners weren’t allowed to stay, but he was, this kind of importance, this special treatment, made him incredibly excited.
“He really is the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, truly the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor, and he still remembers those past ties…” he murmured repeatedly with excitement.
“Congratulations, Black Chess Saint Lord!” a Ghost Practitioner powerhouse said in succession.
“Black Chess Saint Lord, congratulations, I never expected that you had an acquaintance with the Blood Emperor. You’ve really kept it under wraps. We have some acquaintance too, and yet you’ve always kept it hidden. When you return, we must drink, and you owe us three drinks as a penalty!” a middle-ranking Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner laughed heartily after hearing the words of the higher-ranking Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner, as if he had a deep bond with the higher Saint Lord Ghost Practitioner.
The reactions of some Ghost Practitioners led many present to realize that the Blood Emperor had personally sent messages to some of the Ghost Practitioners, allowing them to stay and cultivate here.
After repeatedly confirming that the Blood Emperor had not transmitted any message to them, some Ghost Practitioners felt a sense of loss, but among them, some quickly reacted like this middle-ranking Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner.
For a while, congratulations echoed among the Ghost Practitioners present, and those who received Lin Yun’s voice transmission were greatly envied and resented by the others.
“Bull Power Saint King is too kind, my acquaintance with the Blood Emperor is a simple one, and it was moreover many years ago. I barely thought the Blood Emperor would remember, let alone, remember a minor figure like me… It is not that I didn’t tell you…” Black Chess Saint Lord looked at the middle-ranking Saint King, his face flushed as he replied in a series of rapid affirmations.
Actually, his acquaintance with this Bull Power Saint King was truly casual. Back then, Bull Power Saint King wasn’t even at the Saint King Realm and was very active, calling many Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners ‘brother’. However, ever since Bull Power Saint King’s power reached the Saint King Realm, he had ceased contact with these ‘friends’ of the Saint Lord Realm. Knowing his place, he didn’t reach out to the other party either, and they had lost contact for many years.
At this moment, seeing Bull Power speak to him so warmly, Black Chess Saint Lord was somewhat at a loss. After all, the other party was now a top powerhouse in the middle-ranking Saint King Realm, and his polite manner of addressing him made Black Chess Saint Lord feel unexpectedly honored.
“Black Chess Brother, you are too modest. Let’s do this, I will no longer call you Black Chess Saint Lord, nor will you call me Bull Power Saint King. That sounds too formal. Let’s just refer to each other as brothers, as we did back then. We haven’t gathered for a long time, so when you return, let’s drink together, and invite the old friends. Let’s settle on this!” Bull Power Saint King said, waving his hand.
“Shameless!”
“Seeing that he has a relationship with the Blood Emperor, they run up to pull connections, spit!”
Many Ghost Practitioner powerhouses watched Bull Power Saint King’s behavior with scorn in their hearts, but they also had to court favor with those chosen by the Blood Emperor and speak kindly to them.
On one hand, they were checking if they too could somehow be allowed to stay and cultivate by the Blood Emperor, and on the other, they realized that, at the very least for the foreseeable future, the Blood Emperor would be the first Ghost Practitioner… no, the number one powerhouse in the Netherworld.
These Ghost Practitioners being favored by the Blood Emperor could have boundless prospects, and if they got on their good side now, perhaps they could connect with the Blood Emperor later, which would be their big break.
“`
Never mind how the Blood Emperor favored them, as long as he allowed them to cultivate from the 39th to the 40th Layered Heavens, they would already be immensely fortunate.
Unlike other Layered Heavens, those ordinary masters of the heavens had strength that was neither strong nor weak, and their character varied greatly. If they were to go to another’s broken heaven to cultivate, they wouldn’t necessarily dare to do so.
If, after they went, something about them displeased the other party or some treasure caught the other’s eye and led to them being attacked, with that heaven’s powerful spatial forces aiding the other party, and assisted by the friends and followers of the other party in that heaven, their death would be certain.
Without certain friendships or understanding, they naturally wouldn’t dare to randomly go to higher heavens to cultivate.
But it was different with the Blood Emperor.
The Blood Emperor’s power was incredibly defying, and for him, killing a Peak Saint King Realm Ghost Practitioner was as simple as drinking tea and eating. If they could cultivate from the 39th to the 40th Layered Heavens, they simply wouldn’t worry about the Blood Emperor scheming against them.
If the Blood Emperor truly coveted something they had, why would he need to scheme? He could simply take it with force!
The only thing they needed to consider was whether the Blood Emperor would allow them to cultivate from the 37th to the 40th Layered Heavens!
If they obtained the explicit permission of the Blood Emperor, they might even receive a powerful protective talisman. With it, not many Ghost Practitioners would dare to attack them. At the very least, their safety from the 37th to the 40th Layered Heavens would be greatly secured, far more than under their original conditions!
As for being forcibly taken under the Blood Emperor’s command.
That was a joke. If the Blood Emperor took an interest in them, they would consider themselves extremely lucky and would agree a hundred thousand times over. Why would there need to be any force?
Naturally, at this time, they began to ingratiate themselves with some of the Ghost Practitioners under the Blood Emperor.
Apart from the Black Chess Saint Lord, some Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were courted by many powerful Ghost Practitioners, making them somewhat at a loss. Some of the Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, whom Lin Yun had known from before and had some rapport with, like the Black Chess Saint Lord, but there were also some Saint Lord Ghost Practitioners Lin Yun had not dealt with. They were unclear why the Blood Emperor had allowed them to remain.
“These Ghost Practitioners, most of them hadn’t made a move against the Blood Emperor before…” A Ghost Practitioner remarked upon noticing the difference between these practitioners and the other powerful ones, with a slight sigh.
“No, I feel it’s more like most of them never harbored any unusual thoughts against the Blood Emperor…” another Ghost Practitioner shook his head.
“That must be it, such a pity, if only I had known before…” lamented another Ghost Practitioner with a sigh. He was an Upper Saint King Level Ghost Practitioner who had not attacked Lin Yun before. Even when Emperor Wu tried to persuade them, he hadn’t made a move.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to attack the Blood Emperor; at the time, he hadn’t known the other party was the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor. He had actually hoped to benefit from the situation.
Unexpectedly, it later came out that the other party was the reincarnation of the Blood Emperor.
At that time, he wasn’t without ideas in his heart… Now looking back, it was probably these thoughts that the Blood Emperor sensed, causing him not to be kept by the Blood Emperor.
Otherwise, there were also some Upper Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners who were allowed to stay. Among them, some, judging by their behavior, didn’t have any rapport with the Blood Emperor, yet he hadn’t been allowed to stay.
Moreover, he knew some Saint King Level Ghost Practitioners with potentially problematic temperaments had also not been kept, which made him inevitably think about these matters.
This made him deeply regretful. With the Blood Emperor’s power being so defiant, there was no way he could have anticipated it. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have entertained such thoughts. He had essentially made trouble for himself!
