Upon hearing that command, the duo could only exchange glances.
Knowing that it wouldn’t do them any good to cause a scene, both of them simply followed the phantom soldiers’ lead…
Eventually, they arrived at what appeared to be a palace of sorts within the city…
After being led in, the two soon saw an armor-clad ghost sitting atop a throne, looking all high and mighty…
Unbeknownst to them, the ghost went by the name of Yohr God, and favonovel.com was the ruler of Phantom City.
“Your highness! We captured these two foreigners in our city’s town!” reported one of the phantom soldiers as two others led Gerald and Rey forward.
Upon hearing that, Yohr got to his feet before squinting his eyes at Gerald…
After a while, Yohr was prompted to say, “…You’re quite the special one!”
“Thank you, though… Who are you again…?” asked Gerald in a composed tone.
Booming with laughter, Yohr then replied, “You… don’t even know who I am? You truly have some nerve coming here if you don’t even recognize me!”
“He’s our city’s magnificent king, Yohr God!” snapped one of the phantom soldiers standing at the side.
Hearing that, Gerald and Rey couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised. To think that there would actually be a ghost king here!
Whatever the case was, Gerald felt that it was best not to immediately offend these people. It was honestly amusing how Gerald was the one trying to be reasonable with actual ghosts instead of the other way around.
Regardless, Gerald then said, “Just so you know, we’re not here to cause any trouble! We’re simply passing through the most feminine place!”
“Passing through? Where exactly are you headed to?” asked Yohr in a much sterner voice now.
“I’m off to seek the Phangrottom Clan!” declared Gerald, seeing no reason to lie.
Even so, upon hearing Gerald’s answer, Yohr’s expression instantly grew gloomy as favonovel.com said, “You can’t be serious. In case you didn’t know, anyone who barges into their territory will definitely suffer a terrible fate! Do you honestly think you can make it back in one piece with just the two of you? How utterly ridiculous!”
Watching as Yohr then snorted disdainfully while glaring at them, Gerald simply chuckled before smiling as favonovel.com replied, “But of course I’m serious. Why wouldn’t I head there when even you called me a ‘special one’?”
“Are you talking back to me? Are you trying to court death or something?!” growled Yohr as favonovel.com instantly transformed into a dark fog that bolted toward Gerald!
In barely a split second, Yohr was already standing inches away from Gerald’s feet, his eyes glaring straight into the youth’s.
“Aren’t you afraid of death at all?” scoffed Yohr as favonovel.com continued staring at Gerald.
“Hah! As if I’d come here in the first place if I was afraid of dying! Regardless, perhaps this will answer your question!” retorted Gerald with a snort as favonovel.com separated his spirit from his body!
Staring at Gerald’s ghost form, the surprised Yohr couldn’t help but exclaim, “…So you’re a cultivator who’s half human and ghost? Color me surprised!”
While Yohr was well aware that there existed other half human and ghost cultivators like Gerald, favonovel.com also knew that these hybrid cultivators were generally much stronger and had way more capabilities than fully human ones.
With that in mind, Yohr then turned to face his phantom soldiers before ordering, “…Untie them!”
After watching the soldiers do Yohr’s bidding, Gerald then returned to his body.
Rey himself had been shocked silent this entire time. Based on what favonovel.com had just witnessed, favonovel.com now knew how that innkeeper had ended up getting all tied up the other day. After all, just like what had happened moments ago, Gerald’s physical body had gone unconscious while favonovel.com was in his ghost form. If Rey remembered correctly, this was similar to having an out-of-body experience!
