If it had been the Xuanyang Emperor Lord, perhaps she could have held on a little until help arrived.

But it was the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, someone she loathed to the core. He made her sick.

If she was taken by such a person, it would be worse than death itself!

Qin Yunling had already struggled for a long time, but she was still unable to free herself from the Abominable Hook Soul Chains. Instead, the great void immortal treasure and soul flames were wounding her severely!

And at this time, the White Chalk Ghostly Lord had a sleazy smile on his face. His hands moved in groping motions towards her chest......

Qin Yunling's head felt like it was going to explode. She was almost frothing at the mouth. As discontent as she was, she knew what was more important. And losing it now did not mean that she would be out of the running. She made her decision!

After all, she could still struggle, and pulling out the Rainbow Pearl was not difficult. The Rainbow Pearl appeared in her hand, and she flung it outwards. It vanished from Wu Yu's sight in a flash!

"Damn!"

To think that she would be so hard about it. Wu Yu immediately vanished in pursuit. When he left, the Abominable Hook Soul Chains naturally could not hold her. Wu Yu only held her for a while longer before she broke free!

However, Wu Yu had already obtained the Rainbow Pearl at this time. It was a curious object, and it could not be faked. He hurriedly stowed it away. Now there were six of such Rainbow Pearls, and he had taken three. The other three were with the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, Mo Yuji, and the Xuanyang Emperor Lord.

"Haha!" His prize finally in hand, Wu Yu did not forget to continue his act. Qin Yunling was already red with anger, driven close to hysteria. She came charging at Wu Yu with the Tragic Mirror blazing.

"A pity that I wasn't fortunate enough to make love to you today. But one day, you will willingly beg me to take you." Wu Yu laughed.

"Die!" Qin Yunling screamed madly.

Wu Yu did not want to waste time here. That was a performance, in line with the White Chalk Ghostly Lords' repulsive behavior. A bit of acting was enough.

"Seems like Old Wu is very talented at this. Perhaps a sleazy personality lurks within those bones," the Full Moon of Nanshan commented laughingly.

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Ye Xixi rolled her eyes.

"Like me? It would have been impossible for me. If I had such a beauty captured, I wouldn't care about the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King. Is a 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King more important than a beautiful lady?" the Full Moon of Nanshan demanded brazenly.

"You're garbage." Ye Xixi rolled her eyes again.

Wu Yu was still moving through Hell with various identities, so it was not convenient to let them out. While the Floating Dreams Pagoda was still useful, they would use the time to cultivate. Wu Yu was different. The effects of the Floating Dreams Pagoda's time changes had become weaker for him.

Now that he had obtained three pearls, he should continue to strike while the iron was hot. He had already received some Immortal Message Talismans from the other Hell Masters and ghostly kings, who had confirmed that the three Rainbow Pearls had gone to the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, Qin Yunling, and the Xuanyang Emperor Lord.

Because the Xuanyang Emperor Lord and Qin Yunling had a special status, all of the ghostly immortals were looking for the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. The Hell Masters were also searching. But they had all forgotten about the Xuanyang Emperor Lord.

"The White-Eyed Ghostly Lord moves strangely! Find the Xuanyang Emperor Lord for me instead! Whoever can give me the Xuanyang Emperor Lord's trail will be richly rewarded!" Wu Yu sent out Immortal Message Talismans to all of them, directing their focus to the Xuanyang Emperor Lord!

The Hell Masters and ghostly kings were taken aback by this message.

 "Is the White Chalk Ghostly Lord scared of the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord? He's not chasing the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord, but the Xuanyang Emperor Lord instead? That's the son of the Beiyin Necropolis Grand Emperor, isn't he stronger than you?"

Of course, they kept their thoughts to themselves.

And since the White Chalk Ghostly Lord had spoken of rich rewards for just the location, what was there not to be happy about?

"Command your subordinates to tell me if they find the Xuanyang Emperor Lord! Rich rewards!"

Wu Yu again sent out the Immortal Message Talismans. He actually felt that his chances were not high. The Xuanyang Emperor Lord was keeping his head down and had probably already sought shelter far away. He might even be under the protection of Hell Masters.

Not many knew that he had snatched away Qin Yunling's Rainbow Pearl. The Hell Masters only knew that the White Chalk Ghostly Lord and Qin Yunling had fought, and they rushed over now. Halfway through, they had received Qin Yunling's Immortal Message Talisman and jumped in fright. It was soon followed by another Immortal Message Talisman!

"Find the White Chalk Ghostly Lord for me! I want him smashed to pieces! Whoever finds him will be generously rewarded!" The ghostly kings and Hell Masters who followed Qin Yunling started to speculate. Did this mean that Qin Yunling had come out worse in the fight? And it seemed like her treasure had been snatched by the White Chalk Ghostly Lord? No matter how you looked at it, the White Chalk Ghostly Lord just didn't seem that capable......

After all, it was much more difficult to snatch something from someone of equal strength, compared to killing them.

Right now, Qin Yunling was looking for the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, while the White Chalk Ghostly Lord was looking for the Xuanyang Emperor Lord. Everyone was looking for the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. Even the Chakravarti Ghostly King and his daughter, the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord, were trying to track down the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord through them.

Actually, the two of them wanted to find the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord more than anyone else.

On a broken star, the Chakravarti Ghostly King and the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord were huddled. Their eyes were wild, especially the Chakravarti Ghostly King's. His face was as heavy as molten metal, and the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was gripped with panic. She gabbled incessantly and distractedly, "Daddy, are you really certain? How could it be? How could he have killed the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord...... Impossible......"

The Chakravarti Ghostly King's haunted eyes were lost in thought, and he did not reply.

The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord had sunk into despair after thinking about the consequences. She saw a bleak future ahead of her.

"I heard he even snatched a Rainbow Pearl. Could it be luck? Impossible! How could a useless guy like him have such skills? Not even all the Hell Masters got one......"

The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was still babbling. She sat on the floor, her face listless. She was on the verge of crying.

"We're doomed. Our whole family will be destroyed because of trash like him. We're doomed!"

"Shut up!" the Chakravarti Ghostly King shouted fiercely, giving the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord a fright. Her tears fell noisily.

"Daddy......" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was afraid. Even her usually composed and doting father was now in a dark mood. This meant that they were truly in trouble.

"Stop yakking! Let me think!" the Chakravarti Ghostly King said tersely.

"Is there even a way to live? Everyone witnessed it......" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord's voice was feeble. She sat on the floor with her legs bent sideways, limp with fear about her future.

"That must be it!" Excitement returned to the Chakravarti Ghostly King's face. He gripped the Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord with both hands, lifting her up from the ground. The frown on his face had eased a little. He declared, "We have a chance to live! There's hope!"

"How? Judge Wangfeng won't care about the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord's relationship with us. In his anger, he's sure to take revenge on us."

The Chakravarti Ghostly King said, "You think that way because you don't know that the one who killed the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord was not the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord at all!"

"Huh?" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was confused.

The Chakravarti Ghostly King released her and continued feverishly, "I’ve been suspecting it for a while now. How could a useless thing like the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord have such strength and techniques? I've watched him for hundreds of thousands of years, and he's always been the same damn way. How could he suddenly get strong? Do you remember that an immortal lord suddenly emerged from the Prismatic Thunderball with some sort of escape ability? Even I couldn't catch him."

"I remember. That person seemed very powerful. But then there was no news of him afterwards." The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord did not understand why her father was telling her all this.

The Chakravarti Ghostly King's eyes blazed. "When the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord fought the Pitch Dark Ghostly Lord and the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, I saw that he used the same skill to render the White Chalk Ghostly Lord unable to track his movements. And he used it very masterfully as well. How could he have used a mystique that I have never seen before? This means that that person is not the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. He might well be that immortal lord, with some sort of transformation ability that prevents others from telling the difference......"

"Is that true?!" The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord was still reeling from all this. She ran this theory against her memories. It sounded possible, but still she was doubtful. "If it were someone else, how could they have the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord's great void immortal treasure and use his techniques? When he defeated me, he did not seem that different......"

"I don't know how he did it. But I am sure that that person is definitely not the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord. As for when the impersonator took over, I don't think it was within the 10 years he vanished. My guess is that it was the first time he defeated you and got permission from me to see the Prismatic Thunderball!"

The Amethyst-Eyed Ghostly Lord's face was pale. "How could it be? Such a strong being, with the ability to impersonate someone without us detecting him at all. I felt like he was still the same......"

She still had her doubts, but she trusted her father's judgment. 

"All I can say is that the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord was a talentless failure. After you overtook him, there was no possibility for him to make a comeback. Although there were a few other suspicious points, just looking into his eyes will make you realize that he's a fake!"

"What are we to do now?"

"We have to prove that he's not the White-Eyed Ghostly Lord and that he's someone else. Your brother might be long dead. That way, Judge Wangfeng will have no business against us. Therefore, we must catch him and find proof!"

The Chakravarti Ghostly King had to stake his life on this now. Or it would be forfeit anyway.

Now that they were not in the Maelstrom Silver Dagger Sphere, his strength was fully restored. All he needed was the truth, and he was a very real threat to Wu Yu......
