Qin Yu and Liu Yongzheng were both startled. When they saw a young man in purple and gold clothes, exuding a noble aura, they couldn't help but look at each other. Just as Liu Yongzheng had said, there really was someone waiting here.
However, not only did Qin Yu take a few more glances at Hao Junchen, but when he heard the surname 'Hao', Qin Yu reflexively thought of Hao Shengtian of All Saints Dynasty.
Qin Yu glanced at Haojun Chen, then at the dozens of Heavenly Ghost monstrous geniuses behind him. When he noticed that they were staring at him with burning gazes, Qin Yu's heart froze. He could see curiosity, shock, and disbelief in their gazes. There were even a few gazes filled with hostility and resentment.
"Not good!!"
Qin Yu had a bad feeling in his heart.
He vaguely guessed that these monsters had probably seen the scene in the Rakshasa Purgatory and saw him using the divine ability, 'I am the Heavens'. Only then would they reveal such expressions.
As for those hostile gazes, it was very likely that they were the ones who had killed them …
If they had really 'seen' it, then … he had to be careful. A tree that stood out in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. In this Ghost Realm, he had yet to establish himself. If he recklessly exposed his strength, it would only invite disaster, not to mention that he had already provoked several monsters with extraordinary backgrounds.
Thinking quickly, Qin Yu glanced at Hao Junchen and narrowed his eyes. He vaguely felt that Hao Junchen's status was extraordinary, which was why the Heavenly Ghost behind him didn't dare to make a sound.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Yu gradually made a decision in his heart.
If he rejected Hao Junchen now, he was afraid that his end wouldn't be good. Although Qin Yu had stepped into the fourth stage of the Heaven Refining Divine Soul Art, the Spirit Refining Realm, and condensed the Spirit Blade, he definitely wouldn't be able to cause any waves in the Ghost Realm.
Moreover, Qin Yu planned to go to the Sheng Domain Training Ground in the future. If he had the help of the force behind Hao Junchen, perhaps it would be much smoother.
Besides, from Hao Junchen's words of "bodyguards", it was enough to see how much importance he attached to Liu Yongzheng.
As for Xing Mingzi, Qin Yu did not plan to mention him. One reason was that his physical body was still with Xing Mingzi. If he said that he was Xing Mingzi's bodyguard, this Hao Junchen would definitely come knocking on his door. At that time, if Xing Mingzi did something to his physical body, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Furthermore, even if Xing Mingzi handed over his physical body, this Hao Junchen would definitely keep it for himself. To be honest, Qin Yu would rather leave his physical body with Xing Mingzi than with Hao Junchen.
Qin Yu glanced at Hao Junchen and asked, "Are you from the Saint Dynasty?"
A wisp of pride appeared on Hao Junchen's face as he said indifferently, "I'm the Ninth Prince of the Sage Dynasty, Hao Junchen!"
The Saint Dynasty!
A complicated look flashed through Qin Yu's eyes … When he heard Hao Junchen's words, he could not help but think of Hao Shengtian and Hao Qingxuan … Back then, the two of them had also been born with pride … He did not know if they were alive or dead now.
What made Qin Yu smile bitterly was that he had never lowered his head when facing Hao Shengtian and Hao Qingxuan. But now … he had no choice but to lower his head … At the very least, he had to lower his head for the time being.
"This person's background is not ordinary. You can become his bodyguard." Liu Yongzheng looked deeply at Hao Junchen and said with a sound transmission.
Qin Yu nodded and exchanged a glance with Liu Yongzheng. They cupped their fists at the same time and said, "We are willing to serve the Ninth Prince like dogs and horses."
"Good!
Good!
Good!
From today onwards, you are all Hao Junchen's Rakshasa Guards. As long as you are loyal and devoted, you will not need to worry about cultivation resources in the future!
Come, follow me back to the palace. "Hao Junchen said with a hearty laugh.
Previously, he had been worried that the two of them would not obey and was thinking about whether or not he should force them, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly.
Two hours later.
In the residence of the Ninth Prince of the All-Saint Dynasty.
The All-Saint Dynasty was one of the top factions in the first immortal realm. After countless years of accumulation in the Ghost Realm, the All-Saint Dynasty's influence was also extremely great. However, in this special Ghost Realm, the ranking of the princes was based on seniority.
Over the countless years, countless princes from the All-Saint Dynasty had come to the Ghost Realm. If there weren't a thousand of them, there were at least eight hundred. However, most of them had dropped the title of prince and referred to themselves as "subjects".
The fact that Hao Junchen had been able to stand out from all the other princes and become the Ninth Prince was a testament to his extraordinary character.
After seeing Qin Yu and Liu Yongzheng join hands to kill hundreds of thousands of heavenly ghosts, Hao Junchen regarded them with great importance. He gave them a small courtyard to live in and called for four servants to serve them. He gave them good advice before leaving.
After ordering the servants to leave, Qin Yu and Liu Yongzheng entered the courtyard.
"The All-Saint Dynasty has great influence in the Ghost Realm, and over the countless years, the number of princes who have come to the Ghost Realm is as many as the hairs on an ox. However, including Hao Junchen, there are only eleven princes in the Ghost Realm. In addition … Hao Junchen has not been in the Ghost Realm for long, so it is time for him to develop his wings. This is an opportunity for us!" Liu Yongzheng said in a low voice.
Qin Yu was silent. His heart was not here. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Brother Liu, is there a way to leave the Ghost Realm and return to the Nine Immortal Realms?"
Liu Yongzheng was stunned, as if he did not expect Qin Yu to ask such a question. After looking deeply at Qin Yu, Liu Yongzheng said, "I'm afraid that your question … is the lifelong goal of countless heavenly ghosts in the Ghost Realm, but … this is absolutely impossible!"
Qin Yu was shocked and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Because of the Void Blood Sea, there is the Ghost Realm … whether it is a heavenly ghost or a battle spirit, they can only set foot in the Primordial Battlefield at most. Once they go too far from the Void Blood Sea, their heavenly ghost body will gradually collapse. It can be said that the Void Blood Sea gave birth to heavenly ghosts, so … any heavenly ghost that leaves the Void Blood Sea cannot survive." Liu Yongzheng sighed.
Qin Yu's face instantly turned pale … when he realized that the Ghost Realm was the best place to cultivate the Soul Heaven Refining Art, Qin Yu felt a trace of joy. However, he did not expect that after becoming a heavenly ghost, he would have to stay in the Ghost Realm forever …
"I heard that there is a pure land in the Void Blood Sea called Heavenly Spirit City. If I sign a heavenly ghost contract with someone from Heavenly Spirit City, is there any hope of leaving?" Qin Yu said unwillingly. He was full of ambition and did not want to stay in the Ghost Realm forever.
Liu Yongzheng shook his head and said, "When the cultivators of Heavenly Spirit City reach an extremely high realm, they have a certain chance of going to Heavenly Spirit City … but they can go, but we can't because they are cultivators and we are heavenly ghosts …"
Qin Yu's body trembled violently as he said unwillingly, "Could it be that no heavenly ghost has ever gone to the Nine Great Immortal Domains in all these years?"
"I've never heard of it!" Liu Yongzheng said after pondering for a long time.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering Qin Yu's hot-bloodedness. It was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out. Even though his state of mind was extremely high, he was still unable to accept being trapped in the Ghost Realm forever.
"But I heard that the only way to leave the Ghost Realm is to preserve one's physical body … and one's physical body is not dead. Only in this way can one survive even if they leave the Void Blood Sea." Liu Yongzheng said slowly.
