Bai Xiaochun's voice was hoarse, filled with a piercing and indescribable determination.
As the sound echoed through the air, it seemed to stir some hidden rules of this world, creating a storm that rumbled around them.The ghost mother's face rapidly transformed as she consumed Gong Sun Wengan.
Her previously featureless countenance took shape, forming eyes, nose, and mouth.
Soon, she transformed into a graceful woman in her prime!Her appearance did not indicate great age;her skin was captivating, and her eyes held an alluring sparkle that made her truly breathtaking.The left arm that had been severed grew rapidly before their very eyes.
A terrifying aura erupted from her, almost as if the world itself threatened to burst apart."Threaten me?" The ghost mother spoke slowly, her gaze deep and starry, capable of disorienting anyone who met them.But Bai Xiaochun was not disoriented;his eyes were bloodshot with madness.
He stared fixedly at the ghost mother as he spoke in a single, deliberate word:"I am not threatening you;I am warning you!"This statement came so naturally to Bai Xiaochun that it seemed unplanned.
His fear of death did not prevent him from confronting this threat.
When his loved ones and friends were in danger, he would never retreat or show weakness.At this moment, Bai Xiaochun knew nothing but determination.
He realized that Sister Hou's life hung by a thread, and even if it meant calling upon his disciple or summoning the caretakers, he was prepared to use all his strength to stop the ghost mother!This resolve shone through in his eyes.
The ghost mother felt a sudden tremor of respect;she sensed that the will of this world had shifted slightly toward Bai Xiaochun, witnessing the vows he spoke.Her heart rate accelerated involuntarily despite her disdain for a mere heaven man.
Even though she could easily crush him with her power, her intuition warned her that consuming Sister Hou's soul would create an unnecessary enemy in the future.With these thoughts, the ghost mother abruptly abandoned her plan to consume Sister Hou and waved her hand, sending Sister Hou's soul back into her body.
"Indeed, a fine shade of yin," she thought, immediately pocketing Sister Hou's soul as it returned from its coma and making for the bone ship.Bai Xiaochun's eyes were nearly bloodshot with rage;he panted heavily as the heaven lord, engaged in battle with three ghost faces, suddenly retreated.
He looked up at the ghost mother and urgently shouted:"Ghost Mother, we can cooperate.
We..."Her laughter cut him off before he could finish his sentence."Foolish!" She glanced disdainfully at the heaven lord, no longer needing to feign weakness.
In this world, she cared for only one person: the caretaker who still eluded her understanding.Even the quasi-heaven lord in front of her did not matter;if not for his world power, he would have been an easy target for her to turn into a wraith and add as her fourth flag!"Alas, with world power, it is only possible to kill this person by breaking the rules unless I can transcend to ancient realm.
Otherwise, no one from this world can ignore that power;they could even plunder him."The heaven lord's expression darkened at the ghost mother's scornful gaze, his eyes flashing with determination.
