"Old Ghost, what's wrong with you? If everything is fine, why didn't you send a message to Wuhun City for so long?"
After arriving at a safe place, Chrysanthemum Douluo got over his initial excitement and immediately started questioning.
Doesn't this old ghost know how worried he is?
"Don't get excited, I have something important to tell you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's questioning was also out of concern. Seeing Ghost Douluo so serious, he also became calm.
"What on earth just happened? You're fine with me now, but when we return to Wuhun City and see His Majesty the Pope, you won't be so easy to fool."
The ghost had changed a lot. He was covered with a mist-like garment, and his whole aura was slightly different from before.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't have a deep understanding of ghosts, he might have thought that this ghost was someone else in disguise.
"Look at my current soul power."
Ghost Douluo was completely defenseless against Yueguan and allowed him to check his soul power.
"What do you mean by that?"
With doubts, Yue Guan carefully checked the current soul power of Ghost Douluo.
"You...you're actually on the verge of breaking through level ninety-six? How come your soul power is growing so fast?"
The soul powers of Yueguan and Ghost Douluo have always been on par with each other. Both of them still have a long way to go before reaching level 96. Unexpectedly, Ghost Douluo is now only one step away from reaching the final level.
"It seems you left Wuhun City this time for some reason. Did you intend to practice in seclusion during this time? This is a reasonable reason. His Holiness the Pope shouldn't be too angry. After all, your increased strength will benefit His Holiness the Pope."
The Yueguan is entirely for the consideration of ghosts.
"Yueguan, I don't plan to return to Wuhun City."
Just when Yueguan was thinking about how to avoid being punished by Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo suddenly said.
Yue Guan was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed drastically.
"What do you mean by that? Are you crazy? Don't you know how powerful the Spirit Hall is? Those who defect from the Spirit Hall will never have a good ending."
"If I say I'm absolutely certain there will be no retaliation, will you be willing to leave the Spirit Hall with me?"
Yue Guan's expression changed again and again.
Just now he could still think that the ghost was confused for a moment, but now, the ghost has behaved so obviously that he can no longer pretend to be confused.
"Have you found a new backer? Is it the Soul Palace?"
Yue Guan is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very meticulous and can often discover situations that even ghosts cannot notice.
Apart from the Spirit Hall that appeared not long ago, who else could be the force that can make ghosts feel confident that they will not be retaliated against by the Spirit Hall?
"You guessed it right, it's the Soul Palace."
After hearing the exact news, Yue Guan became unusually calm.
"Did you join the Soul Temple voluntarily, or were you forced?"
The ghost said without hesitation: "Of course I volunteered. I can come out to see you at any time. My personal freedom is not restricted in any way."
Ghost Douluo slightly embellished his experience of joining the Soul Palace.
Although he was somewhat reluctant when he first joined the Soul Palace, he has now completely devoted himself to it and wishes he could join it sooner.
Yue Guan looked at the ghost for a long time with a scrutinizing look.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure you can't imagine the benefits of joining the Soul Palace. You and I have been friends for many years, and I will never harm you."
Yue Guan became a little irritable.
Finding the ghost was a great thing, but the ghost posed a dilemma for him.
Should he choose to serve the Spirit Hall where he had served for decades, or should he choose to leave the Spirit Hall and join the Soul Hall with his old friends?
Yue Guan was unable to make a decision for a moment, and asked:
"You said you were looking for me. Did you know I was in Tiandou City? Does the Soul Palace have such strong control over Tiandou City? I wouldn't have shown up in public, but I would have been discovered."
The ghost said, "Young Master...Qian Renxue went to the Soul Palace. You should know that."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed.
"Of course I know. Did the Young Master tell you? No, if you had joined the Soul Palace, why would the Young Master tell you this? Could it be that you were ordered to join the Soul Palace as a spy? No, the Soul Palace isn't that easy to fool. Or did the Young Master's identity get exposed, and you betrayed him?"
Yue Guan's brain was working rapidly. In an instant, he thought of many possibilities and then eliminated them one by one.
"Your guesses are all wrong."
The ghost gave a mysterious smile.
"You old ghost, tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
Yue Guan gave Ghost Douluo a displeased look. It was such a serious matter, yet he was still keeping it in suspense.
"If I told you that the young master was also from the Soul Palace, would you believe me?"
"This is impossible." Yue Guan said immediately.
But then he thought, if Qian Renxue was also from the Soul Palace, all of this could be explained.
"But how is this possible? The young master holds a high position. In the future, the Spirit Hall will belong to her. Why would he want to join the Spirit Hall and become someone else's subordinate?"
Although he clearly believed what the ghost said, Yue Guan still had many things he couldn't understand.
"Oh, I didn't expect that either. Besides, Qian Renxue not only joined the Soul Palace, but also joined earlier than me. She wasn't even surprised when she saw me."
"But this also shows how bright the future is for those who join the Spirit Hall. Even the young master couldn't help but defect from the Spirit Hall."
Yue Guan's already wavering heart was completely shaken by Ghost Douluo's words and leaned towards Ghost Douluo.
If he were asked to betray the Spirit Hall alone, he would never agree. With the ghost in front of him, he might take the risk for the sake of his old friend.
Now that even the young master of the Spirit Hall has joined the Spirit Hall first, it is not so difficult for Yue Guan to accept the betrayal of the Spirit Hall.
The young master can do it, so why can't I, an elder, do it?
"Since the young master has joined the Soul Palace, what about Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo?"
"them..."
The ghost was also a little uncertain.
Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo have been with the young master for so many years, they should not be unaware of the changes in the young master.
But in the Soul Palace, Ghost Douluo only saw Qian Renxue and not the other two.
"I'm not sure either. I've only been in Soul Palace for a short time, so there are many things I'm still unclear about."
Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned and thought, when he said that the ghost might fall into the hands of the Soul Palace, Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo immediately turned his attention to the Haotian Sect.
Did they do it unintentionally or was it to divert attention?
Like Qian Renxue, Chrysanthemum Douluo was also full of suspicion towards these two people.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
If Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo also rebelled, wouldn't that mean half of the Elder Hall had rebelled? Does His Holiness still have someone to command him?
"You old chrysanthemum, what are you still hesitating about? If it weren't for our friendship for so many years, I wouldn't even bother to come to you."
Yue Guan glared at Ghost Douluo.
You made such a big decision without telling him, and now you think you're right?
"Now that you've said that, what else can I do? I can only stand with you, but that would be a betrayal of the Pope's kindness."
"Come on, Bibi Dong is so mean and ungrateful. Where does her kindness come from? We have worked for her for so many years, and what benefits have we gained?"
"this..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo thought about it and it seemed that there really wasn't any. It was even worse than when the former Pope Qian Xunji was alive.
"Old Ghost, are you sure joining the Soul Palace is the right decision?"
"I'm absolutely certain that I won't cheat you."
"Okay! But I have one more thing to do."
