Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 789 The Ghost Token Has Been Stolen?

Watching Meng Jing go away, Li Lang is burning with fury. It is a matter of course that the Ghost Commanders did nothing. After all, Meng Jing is holding the Ghost Token. Of course, she can get out of here freely. The Ghost Commanders couldn’t stop Meng Jing simply because of his words unless it was the sovereign of the Ghost Sect instead of Li Lang who gave the order at that time.

Li Lang hesitates in situ for a long while. In the end, he takes a deep breath, quickly turns around and leaves.

He doesn’t intend to report this matter to the Ghost Sect.

In his opinion, even if this matter is reported, they cannot catch up with Meng Jing anyway. Simply put, it is too late.

“This ship is sinking,” Li Lang thinks with a stern face while walking.

In the darkness, he walks to his master’s room.

He knocks on the door and doesn’t go inside with a smile until he gains permission.

“Why are you still up late at night?” The middle-aged man in the room snaps with a frown.

On the surface, he does look like a middle-aged man but actually, he must be much older.

Li Lang walks forward and starts pounding the middle-aged man’s back to massage him.

“Something has happened to Five Ghosts Mansion. Probably something is lost. It is not appropriate that you run about so late at night,” the middle-aged man says.

Li Lang nods and replies with a grin, “Master, don’t worry. I didn’t go there.”

The middle-aged man nods and asks, “In this case, why do you come to visit me now?”

“I want to go out of the sect.”

“Go out?” The middle-aged man knits his brows and asks, “You’ve been back not for long. Why do you want to go out?”

Before Li Lang can answer his answer, the middle-aged man continues, “Besides, doesn’t the old woman ask you to marry Meng Jing? I think she is a good girl. Why do you still want to go out?”

Li Lang is still trying to come up with an excuse and the middle-aged man’s words just enlighten him.

He takes the opportunity and hastens to say, “Master, you are right. Actually, that is why I want to go out.”

“Um?”

With beaming smiles, Li Lang continues, “You know, Meng Jing doesn’t fancy me. Since I’m marrying her, I intend to go out and find a good present for her.”

The middle-aged man laughs and says, “It is very considerate of you to think so but it is not necessary. There are quite some treasures in the Ghost Sect. Moreover, I have got some good stuff too...”

Before the middle-aged man finishes talking, Li Lang hastens to say, “That doesn’t sound like a good idea. Master, I think it will be a better way to show my sincerity if I go out to get something on my own.”

The middle-aged man ponders for a moment and then nods. Instantly, a token appears in his hand.

“In this case, I will grant your request then. Just go and come back as soon as possible.”

Li Lang’s eyes sparkle. He quickly takes the token and puts it away.

“Just get out if nothing else,” the middle-aged man continues talking.

“Yes, Master.” Li Lang stands up and gets out of the room.

The moment the door is closed, Li Lang puts on a strange expression. It seems that he feels like saying something but he still chooses to stay silent.

He still feels that his master must be the only good man in the Ghost Sect.

If it were not for his master, he might still be an ordinary man now.

He could never have a chance to get even with Gao Ge.

Although he is still no match for Gao Ge for now, he still has hopes for life.

After Li Lang leaves, a disciple arrives in a hurry.

“Elder Sanshi, something is wrong. The sovereign asks us to go over there now!”

The middle-aged man quickly stands up and furrows his eyebrows. After getting out of the room, he looks at the disciple and asks, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m not sure about it but...” The disciple looks hesitant. It seems that he doesn’t dare to talk too much.

“Say it!” The middle-aged man urges with a long face, “What can’t you tell me?”

“Yes, Elder Sanshi. I heard that the Ghost Token in Five Ghosts Mansion had been stolen.”

When the middle-aged man hears that, his pupils suddenly shrink.

“Ghost Token? Are you sure?”

“I can’t be sure about it but that is what I have heard,” the disciple says carefully.

The middle-aged man is dazed in situ. Having shilly-shallied for a long time, he heaves a long sigh.

“Fine, I will go there first.”

Having walked for several steps, he suddenly thinks of something and subconsciously turns to look in the direction of the door of the yard with complicated eyes.

...

Now.

In the cellar at Cai’s home.

Gao Ge closes his eyes and feels the power of stars running in his body.

He doesn’t intend to reach the realm of Grand Master temporarily.

Of course, even if Gao Ge wants to, he cannot make it at will.

Besides, it is very difficult to reach the realm of Grand Master from the realm of Master.

Take Earth Dragon, Fire Dragon and the others for example. They are all talented cultivators but they have been at the realm of Master for a few years, more than ten years, or even tens of years.

After one enters the realm of Master, his strength has become aura, which makes it even harder to gain a breakthrough. Diligence is not enough. As to other things, diligence may really work but in terms of cultivation, diligence is not very helpful. Many cultivators always say, “If diligence works, what’s the point of being talented?”

This is a very unreasonable thing.

Some cultivators may be stuck in the realm of Strength for decades despite hard work whereas others may break through without any reason when they are sleeping in bed. All in all, it is very mysterious.

“Are you lying to us?” Earth Dragon has run out of his patience and then says to Wen Yihuan disgruntledly.

Wen Yihuan hastens to say, “Lord Earth Dragon, rest assured. I promise we just need to wait for another while.”

Earth Dragon lights up another cigarette and then turns a blind eye to the hand that Wen Yihuan reaches out.

Wen Yihuan coughs drily. The moment he turns around, he is suddenly astonished.

“Here it comes! Here it comes! It does come!”

Earth Dragon and the bearded man both look at the wall.

Gao Ge, who is sitting on the ground cross-legged, also opens his eyes quickly and looks at the wall.

As Wen Yihuan says, the wall’s cracks are glistening with faint cyan light.

Meanwhile, the cracks among the bricks, as if coming to life, start to wiggle on the wall. When they stabilize, they have been placed in order then.

Wen Yihuan quickly takes two steps forward and presses his hand on one of the bricks. Instantly, they feel that the cellar seems to be shaking.
