Chapter 521: Chapter 515: Evil Spirit Possession

Greenox couldn’t help but gasp in shock as he found the once mighty gold-horned man, who had evenly matched the Flood Dragon’s grandeur, now reduced to bones.

Although he was currently in a state of internal injury, his perceptual ability had not diminished in the slightest.

Through the aura emitted during the great battle, he could clearly see that the attacker’s strength surpassed that of the Ghost Prince and was on the verge of reaching the King level, but was crushed and killed by the healer within a few short rounds.

This extraordinary strength was a rare existence even when looking across the entire Silver-Abyssal City region.

Greenox couldn’t help but feel fortunate to be aligned with such a powerful ally, even considering his dwindling days, and a newfound ambition emerged in his heart.

If the long-standing internal injuries within his body could heal, he might also have a chance at challenging King-level experts!

“What are you staring at? Follow me!” David Jones glanced at the dumbfounded Greenox, who was still standing in the same spot.

“Where are we going?”

Greenox subconsciously scratched his head and hurriedly caught up, laughing boisterously, “Do you already know the identity of the attacker, sir? ”

“I have some guesses.” David Jones looked towards the direction of Brightstar Mill.

He didn’t have any enemies in the Umbral dimension and only knew a few people, so even without thinking, he could tell who was behind the assassination attempt!

Although David Jones didn’t know why he had been targeted, as long as the other party dared to take the risk and make a move against him, they had to bear the backlash of failure.

As for so-called evidence, it was not essential at all.

The laws of the Umbral were written by the strong Ghosts, and the interpretation of the law was predominantly based on the strength of the individual.

Having studied the Umbral laws, David Jones knew that as long as he could eliminate the other party in the shortest amount of time and show enough strength, the lord of Suffering County would not only not question him but might even treat him as an honored guest out of fear.

Put simply, whether it be the Umbral or the Flowery Kingdom, the world ultimately still revered strength, but the Flowery Kingdom valued rules and unity more than the Umbral.

“It seems the layout of my idle chess moves can still come into play!” Under Aqua’s curious gaze, David Jones took out an emerald-green seed from his Star Ring.

Deep within the Mermaid Lake.

In a pink, fragrant boudoir, Jewel looked at the shattered jade card on her soft palm, her eyes filled with disbelief and heartache.

“How is this possible! With the strength of the Golden Ape, even if it couldn’t defeat a Ghost King Elite, it should have been able to escape.”

The Golden Ape was the strongest existence under her control, always fulfilling her tasks flawlessly, and was an incredibly useful tool. She had never expected it to fall into the hands of that mysterious healer, making it impossible for her to calm down!

“Fortunately, I cleaned up all the clues and evidence in time.” Jewel’s eyes suddenly became cold.

Any Ghost King-level expert in the Umbral had their share of bloodshed and countless enemies. Even she, who disliked killing, had her hands stained with the blood of her own and other races.

She had a single line of contact with the Golden Ape, and it would be tough for the other party to link her to a simple assassination attempt.

Moreover, the Golden Ape usually served as the deputy general of Suffering County, responsible for the county’s security and safety; David Jones could only trace it back to the lord of Suffering County if he wanted to investigate.

But for safety’s sake, Jewel decided to go to Silver-Abyssal City’s secret location, conceal her whereabouts, and seek support from higher authorities.

If she could obtain a Ghost King Level Soul, the rewards from the organization would enable her to heal her injuries and increase her strength further.

Just as Jewel dreamt of the future, the violent vibrations of the water palace suddenly startled her awake.

“Rumbling!”

Without waiting for Jewel to shatter the disposable ghost device to teleport away, she felt an unstoppable pressure descending from the sky. Her slender waist arched, and her bones made a crisp sound.

“Imperial Level Expert!”

Jewel’s face changed dramatically. Under the suppression of this pressure, the fire injury in her body suddenly relapsed, causing a trace of obvious blood to overflow from the corner of her mouth.

“I don’t know which esteemed person has arrived. This humble one is Jewel and I serve the Gallagher family of Silver-Abyssal City. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me in light of the Gallagher family’s face!”

Jewel’s charming face suddenly turned as white as snow, her ghost force surged, and while she tried to reveal her background to buy time, she attempted to shatter the teleportation device hidden in her loose sleeve and flee during a gap.

“We just met tonight. Have you forgotten, Chief Jewel?”

As Jewel was horrified, David Jones, with an expressionless face and holding Lolo, slowly appeared.

“My lord, I don’t know what offense I have committed against you. If it’s because of this Azure Flower, I will return it to its rightful owner right now. Please forgive me.

Jewel’s pupils shrank, and a soul-stealing smile appeared on her delicate face as she played her Mermaid Infatuation ability to the fullest.

Her judgment was not wrong; the other party was definitely not a King Level Expert, and Golden Ape’s strength could have completely killed him.

But what she had overlooked was David Jones having an Imperial Level mythical creature guarding him closely.

“Damn it, how did a gifted monster from the Thirteen Sacred Clans come to a poor and remote place like Suffering County!” Jewel cursed to herself.

With her keen perception, she knew the overwhelming Class VII pressure came from the mythical creature in David Jones’ arms.

In her understanding, only the Holy Race that ruled the thirteen mansions of Umbral could have a genius with a Class VII mythical creature guarding them.

After all, in the mysterious organization behind her, even Ghost Emperors were like deputy leaders, holding a transcendent position above ten thousand people – how could they waste time protecting a junior?

“Playing dumb won’t work on me. If I’m not mistaken, you’re the mastermind behind that assassin!”

As David Jones’ voice fell, the ancient trees and vines in the water palace began to grow rapidly and enveloped Jewel.

“Assassin? What assassin!” Jewel paused briefly, feigning ignorance while activating the concealed teleportation device inside her sleeve.

“Buzz!”

However, the shattered ghost device only emitted a barely perceptible ripple in space before disappearing. Jewel’s hope, which had finally surfaced in her eyes, vanished in an instant.

“Attempting to use spatial teleportation to escape in front of a Space Overlord is nothing but wishful thinking!”

David Jones shook his head and said softly to Lolo in his arms, “Capture her alive if possible, but if not, just kill her. Don’t let her escape.”

“Chirp.” (No problem.)

Lolo waved her little hand, and dozens of Vine Dragons took shape rapidly. Emitting a black light that devoured everything, they sped towards Jewel’s limbs with lightning and flint-like speed.

Seeing this, Jewel had no choice but to make a desperate attempt and took out a large silver needle, piercing it into her own head.

“Evil Ghost Entanglement!”
