Chapter 541: The Ghost Emperor Appears

Throughout history, humans had heard rumors of the Ghost Clan's Ghost Emperor's existence. It was said that he was a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse. However, for such a long time, no one had laid eyes on the true form of the Ghost Emperor. Humans had begun to dismiss these rumors as mere scare tactics spread by the Ghost Clan.

But this time, the appearance of the Ghost Clan's Ghost Emperor was a very serious matter for humans.

Once it was confirmed that the Ghost Emperor was indeed a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse, humans would likely start preparing to evacuate Yan Yun Star. Faced with a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse, they had no room for resistance.

In a place known as the Ghost Emperor Palace, a palace specially prepared for the Ghost Emperor, Ghost Clan members rarely ventured near it. However, today, a large number of Ghost Clan members of eighth rank or higher appeared here. Among them, there were even three Ninth-level Peak Ghost Clan members, absolute high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan with significant power.

But when facing the Ghost Emperor, they still lowered their heads, showing their respect for him.

"Has Ghost Emperor recovered from his injuries?" one of the Ninth-rank Ghost Clan members asked the other two in a hushed tone.

Only a very small number of powerful Ghost Clan members were aware of this information. As for why they hadn't plotted to take over the Ghost Emperor's position, it was all because the number one powerhouse of the Ghost Clan always stood behind the Ghost Emperor, and no Ghost Clan member dared to guarantee that they could deal with that figure.

When Ghost Emperor was seriously injured in the past, they had all harbored thoughts of becoming the Ghost Emperor themselves. But the appearance of the number one powerhouse, who had killed a Ninth-level Peak powerhouse on the spot, had silenced them, preventing the Ghost Clan from falling into a state of division.

"If he hasn't recovered, I can't think of a reason for Ghost Emperor's appearance now," said one Ninth-level Peak Ghost Master. He squinted his eyes, looking like an innocent and elderly Ghost Clan member.

"As long as Ghost Emperor appears, humans will soon be finished. I truly hope that Ghost Emperor will take that step," the third Ninth-level Peak Ghost Clan member said with a serious expression.

Don't think that the Ghost Clan was united without any internal divisions. Just like humans, they had their own thoughts, but these thoughts were meaningless in the face of absolute power.

Before long, a female Ghost Clan member emerged from inside and, facing these high-ranking Ghost Clan members, a mere servant girl, she spoke with great respect, "His Majesty has ordered the three distinguished lords to enter the palace for an audience."

The three Ghost Clan powerhouses did not dare to delay and hurriedly made their way into the palace. This was the Ghost Emperor's palace, and no Ghost Clan member, even if they were powerful, could enter it without his command.

The three Ghost Clan members arrived in a luxurious Grand Hall. In the center of the hall was a high throne, and sitting upon it was a handsome Ghost Clan member exuding an Emperor's aura. He looked so refined that he hardly seemed like a male.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty," the three Ghost Clan powerhouses lowered their heads slightly. As Ghost Clan powerhouses, they were not required to kneel when they met the Ghost Emperor.

"Hmm, the three of you are important ministers of my Ghost Clan. You've worked hard during these times," a faint voice emanated from the Ghost Emperor's lips.

"Your Majesty overpraises us; it's our duty."

After a few words, the Ghost Emperor finally revealed his intention in summoning them, "How has the recent offensive against humans been going?"

The three Ghost Clan members' expressions became serious. They knew that the real business was about to start. When facing the Ghost Emperor's questions, they couldn't afford to hide anything; these matters could be easily verified.

After some time, they briefly described the changes over the past year.

The Ghost Emperor remained calm, "I didn't expect humans to still have the power to resist. No wonder they were able to drive our ancestors underground. But times have changed, and now the Ghost Clan is the master of Yan Yun Star!"

"Tell the humans that the Ghost Clan will completely annihilate the humans on this planet within a month. I want them to die in fear and trembling!" The Ghost Emperor laughed heartily.

The three Ghost Clan members realized that the Ghost Emperor might personally intervene, and they were instantly filled with excitement.

"We will obey your command, Your Majesty."

The news of the Ghost Emperor's impending appearance quickly reached the human side. As the most powerful human alliance, they were the first to receive the message.

"The Ghost Emperor is about to act, conservatively estimating, he might be a Ninth-level Peak powerhouse, or even..." Marshal's expression looked grim.

"Marshal, I suggest gathering all the human strongmen and facing the Ghost Clan head-on. If we wait for the Ghost Clan to gradually eliminate our strongmen, we won't even have a chance to fight back."

"I don't recommend that. Our strength is already weaker than the Ghost Clan's. If we confront them directly, the probability of human failure is too high."

These human strongmen were arguing, unable to convince one another. They all thought from the perspective of humans, but their starting points were different.

Wang Chun remained silent. Upon hearing the news of the Ghost Emperor's impending return, the first person he thought of was the woman who had haunted his dreams.

"Commander said he would help me become the Ghost Emperor. When she sees my achievements, she will come to me on her own." Wang Chun couldn't help but smile at the thought of the beautiful future.

Marshal watched the bickering with a headache. He caught sight of Wang Chun's expression and suddenly asked, "Chief Guard, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Upon hearing Marshal's words, the arguing ceased, and all eyes turned to Wang Chun. He was a top-level powerhouse, not inferior to Marshal, so his opinion carried weight.

By the way, the Deputy Alliance Leader had already disappeared, dealt with secretly by Wang Chun. No one knew how Deputy Alliance Leader had died; it remained a mystery.

Wang Chun pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "It's not about how we view this matter but about the true intentions of the Ghost Emperor."

"Oh, Chief Guard, do you have any insights?" Marshal's eyes brightened. Chief Guard seemed to know something.

"It's quite simple. If you had the power of a Small Galaxy-level powerhouse, would you waste so much time?" Chief Guard's words made Marshal realize. If he had Small Galaxy-level power, he would have attacked the Ghost Clan's stronghold long ago. How could he sit calmly here?

The reverse was also true: the Ghost Emperor might not actually possess Small Galaxy-level power. He might be bluffing!

"Chief Guard, you've truly awakened us with a single word. The Ghost Emperor is forcing us into a direct confrontation, giving the Ghost Clan a much greater chance of winning. If it weren't for Chief Guard pointing out the key issue, we might have fallen for it," Marshal said with relief.

In reality, he had no idea that Wang Chun was just making things up. He had no knowledge of the Ghost Emperor's current situation, and he even doubted if the Ghost Emperor had truly reached Small Galaxy level. How could that cowardly person be so bold as to come out like this?

Meanwhile, in the courtyard behind the Ghost Emperor Palace, the Ghost Emperor and a female Ghost Clan member wearing a green dress were sitting together. If Wang Chun were here, he would probably be wide-eyed, for she was none other than Qing Ye, the woman he had dreamt of night after night. (To be continued...)
