Chapter 555: Wen Lao


    Wen Lao paused, his eyes widening in realization. This young individual was the Ghost Emperor? Something didn''t add up.


    He had seen the previous generation of the Ghost Emperor, and this young person looked nothing like them. Could it be that the Ghost Emperor had changed once again?


    "Young one, don''t think about deceiving me. The previous Ghost Emperor was not you. Tell me the truth!" Wen Lao''s face darkened, and an immense pressure suddenly emanated, startling Wang Chun.


    The other party was at least a Small Galaxy Second Tier expert, or perhaps even Third Tier. It seemed that the Ghost Clan still had an old and enduring figure. This was a miscalculation.


    "Wen Lao, the Ghost Emperor you''re talking about belongs to the previous generation. He died at my hands in a direct confrontation. Now, I am the Ghost Emperor, though I haven''t undergone the coronation ceremony yet," Wang Chun explained.


    Wen Lao scrutinized him carefully and then nodded slightly. "I see. If the previous Ghost Emperor has indeed perished, then you are indeed qualified to assume the role of this generation''s Ghost Emperor. I wonder what brings the Ghost Emperor here for information?"


    Wang Chun''s lips twitched. Was it really this easy for Wen Lao to accept his identity? Wasn''t he concerned that Wang Chun might be an assassin targeting the Ghost Emperor? Or did he not consider the possibility that Wang Chun was a Ghost Clan traitor?


    As Wang Chun pondered, he realized that Wen Lao couldn''t possibly know his true identity. Wen Lao hadn''t jumped to the conclusion that he was a Ghost Clan traitor. In that case, his position as the Ghost Emperor was solidified.


    It was a fortuitous misunderstanding!


    "Lately, I''ve developed an interest in Ghost Patterns and came here to find information about them, preferably ancient records," Wang Chun stated his purpose.


    "Please follow me, Ghost Emperor," Wen Lao said.


    Wang Chun trailed behind Wen Lao, covering quite a distance. He hadn''t expected the place to be this vast. If he had to search on his own, it would likely take a long time.


    Wen Lao stopped by a bookshelf and pointed to it. "This is where we keep the information on Ghost Patterns. Take your time, Ghost Emperor."


    With that, Wen Lao''s figure vanished, and Wang Chun dared not show any emotion. He was concerned that Wen Lao might still be monitoring him.


    Wang Chun picked up a book at random and quickly skimmed through it. He furrowed his brows. The book did not contain the original information about Ghost Patterns but rather the interpretations of later individuals.


    This information was of no use to him.


    After searching for a while, he called out, "Wen Lao, do you happen to have information about the predecessor who created Ghost Patterns?"


    "It can," replied the System.


    "Including Chronolegionair Troops?"


    "Yes."


    "How about Super Soldiers?"


    "Master, please don''t daydream!"


    Su Chen chuckled, realizing he was getting ahead of himself. If that was the case, the rewards from the next mission could be applied to the Super Soldiers. However, once Ghost Patterns were fused with a person, black patterns would undoubtedly appear. Yun Ru strongly expressed her reluctance to have Ghost Patterns.


    "It seems I''ll have to wait for Yun Ru to figure out how to conceal Ghost Patterns. We''ll deal with it when the time comes."


    Wang Chun, unaware of Su Chen''s thoughts, had only just reported the situation when he received Su Chen''s reply, granting him the freedom to act as he pleased. In other words, he could become the Ghost Emperor or even infiltrate and eliminate the Ghost Clan; Su Chen wouldn''t interfere.


    Although Qing Ye had left him disappointed, Wang Chun still harbored the desire to sit on the Ghost Emperor''s throne.


    Putting down the book in his hand, just as he was about to speak, a loud voice came from outside, "Wen Lao, a Ghost Clan traitor has intruded into the Library. Please lend a hand in capturing him!"


    Wen Lao''s body trembled slightly, and he cast a strange look at Wang Chun. This young Ghost Clan member he had taken a liking to was actually a Ghost Clan traitor?


    Did this mean that everything he had said earlier was a deception?


    With this thought in mind, Wen Lao''s emotions surged, and he exploded in anger. "How dare you! Deceive me like this, utterly ignorant of your own impending doom!"


    An enraged Wen Lao unleashed a powerful aura. Just as Wang Chun had guessed, Wen Lao''s strength was actually at the level of Small Galaxy Third Order!


    It was astonishing to find such a formidable figure within the Ghost Clan. They truly deserved their reputation for having survived for such a long time in the Underworld! (To be continued...)
