Chapter 226: Ghost Demon Severely Injured
Yue Guan looked at Liu Erlong, whose eyes were filled with hatred as they glared at him, and Flanders, who wore a defeated expression, and sneered disdainfully.
He then glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying beside them, seemingly unaware of the situation. After thinking for a moment, he abandoned the idea of killing them on the spot. Although he wasn't fully aware of the details between the Pope's Hall and this powerful Soul Master, he knew enough to be cautious.
He shook his head and decided not to waste any more time with the three of them. Instead, he pursued the direction where the carriage had fled.
"You Soul Hall people are not afraid of being laughed at by the world? Attacking a child!"
Yue Guan ignored Liu Erlong's roar. Ridiculous! Facing the twin martial soul genius from an enemy faction, how could he not find a reason to finish him off? How could he be at ease otherwise?
Compared to being criticized by the world, what was that?
Though furious, Mother Tyrannosaurus and Flanders were both severely injured and helpless. They could only watch as Yue Guan left, angrily pounding the ground.
Not far from where Yue Guan left, he thought that Ghost Demon should have succeeded by now, but suddenly, a blinding red light appeared in the distance, followed by a loud explosion.
The terrifying energy fluctuations made even Yue Guan, a Title Douluo, feel a deep sense of unease.
He muttered to himself that something was wrong and quickly accelerated toward the location of the explosion.
When he arrived at the site of the explosion, Yue Guan's pupils instantly dilated. The area within several miles had been leveled, and even the wild flowers and plants had been turned upside down.
Panic filled Yue Guan's heart as he desperately searched for his comrade.
"Old Ghost!"
"Where the hell did you go?"
After searching anxiously for a long while, Yue Guan finally found his good comrade under the layers of dirt in the center of the explosion.
"Hiss!"
"Old Ghost, how did you end up like this?"
It wasn't surprising that Yue Guan was shocked; Ghost Demon looked pitiful. His chest was caved in, with visible blood seeping through his skin and exposed white bones. His limbs were broken in several places, and his right leg had completely vanished without a trace.
It seemed that Ghost Demon, sensing his call, struggled to open his eyes. His already pale face was now even more bloodless, and he trembled as he spoke.
"Get… away from here…"
"Pff!"
With great difficulty, he managed to utter a few words, but then he spat out a large mouthful of blood and completely lost consciousness. Yue Guan, feeling urgent, carefully lifted Ghost Demon and surrounded him with soul power, quickly flying toward the Pope's Hall.
Ten minutes later, a panicked Yue Guan carried the injured Ghost Demon into the Pope's Hall without even bothering to announce his arrival, directly bursting in.
Bibi Dong, who had been dealing with paperwork, was about to scold him when she saw the near-death Ghost Douluo in Yue Guan's arms. Her pupils contracted instantly.
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty, we need to get a healing soul master here quickly. Old Ghost might not make it."
Yue Guan's expression was filled with fear. He had completely forgotten about the report he was supposed to give. Bibi Dong furrowed her brow but understood that this was not the time for questions. She hurriedly instructed the guards to bring two healing-type Soul Saints.
The two Soul Saints rushed to the main hall, and upon seeing Ghost Douluo's condition, they inhaled sharply, not daring to say anything. They immediately summoned their martial souls and began to heal him.
After a while, one of the Soul Saints conversed with his companion before retracting his martial soul.
"Your Majesty, the injuries to Elder Ghost are too severe. I'm afraid…"
He didn't finish, but the meaning was clear. They were powerless. The Soul Saint still using soul skills to sustain Ghost Demon could only keep him alive. If the soul skill was withdrawn, Ghost Demon would likely die.
Yue Guan could not accept this result. He grabbed the Soul Saint by the collar.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and treat Old Ghost, or I'll skin you alive!"
"Elder Ji… this!"
The Soul Saint was trembling in fear, but Ghost Demon's injuries were far too severe, with internal organs damaged to varying degrees. They truly had no way to help!
"Yue Guan, let go of him!"
Bibi Dong slammed her Pope's staff onto the ground, her face displeased as she looked at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan, in a panic, didn't dare to be reckless anymore. He quickly released his hold on the Soul Saint.
"But Your Majesty, Old Ghost…"
"You go to the hotel where Ning Gongzi is staying in the Tiandou Royal Academy right now. If he hasn't left Soul Master City, he should have a way."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's eyes lit up. He immediately bowed to Bibi Dong and disappeared from the Pope's Hall in the blink of an eye.
His speed was so fast that it even created a whirlwind, blowing the Soul Saint's bangs away.
At the hotel entrance, Ning Bei had just finished a meal and was about to visit the offering hall and say goodbye to the little angel before heading to the far northern region when he collided head-on with the rushing Yue Guan.
Before Ning Bei could react, Yue Guan grabbed his arm and charged toward the Soul Hall. The fast-moving air stung his face, and he could only raise a soul power shield to block the air currents.
"What are you doing?"
"Ning Gongzi, please forgive my rudeness, but the situation is urgent. After everything is settled, I will host a feast to apologize."
Ning Bei was speechless, but since the other party had already said so, he didn't ask further questions and followed him to the Pope's Hall.
Before he could catch up with Bibi Dong to chat, the strong smell of blood drew his attention.
Turning his gaze to the center of the two healing Soul Masters, he saw Ghost Demon lying there. His current condition made him take a deep breath. Who had they offended?
He now understood why Yue Guan had hurriedly dragged him here. Without waiting for him to speak, Ning Bei raised his hand to stop him.
"You all should leave."
"This…"
Yue Guan was about to speak but hesitated.
"What are you still standing there for? If you keep hesitating, go buy a coffin to collect the corpse!"
Yue Guan didn't dare to say anything else. After looking at Ghost Demon, he quickly exited the main hall.
The two Soul Saints who were treating Ghost Demon glanced at Bibi Dong. Seeing her nodding at them, they put away their martial souls and left the hall.
Ning Bei no longer wasted any words. He took out a Life-Returning Pill that he had prepared earlier and shoved it into Ghost Demon's mouth.
As soon as the pill was ingested, a flush of color returned to Ghost Demon's pale face, and the sound of bones snapping echoed as his body began to heal.
In Bibi Dong's shocked gaze, Ghost Demon's injuries healed at a visible rate. Even his lost right leg began to grow back.
"Hey, Pope, keep it to yourself. Don't go spreading it around."
Bibi Dong gave Ning Bei a complex look but didn't refute him. She nodded in acknowledgment.
Half a minute later, Ghost Demon fully woke up from his coma. He looked around confusedly, and when he saw Ning Bei, his body tensed, and he stared at him warily.
Ning Bei didn't acknowledge his gaze and turned to Bibi Dong.
"What's going on? Is there someone who can break into the Soul Hall and cause trouble?"
