1452 Not Good, It's an Illusion! 2

"We're all here because of Xu Xiaoshou. You've secretly investigated the Saint Servant, haven't you?" We can't ignore the two people who were beside Xu Xiaoshou just now. After all, they don't look like the Saint Servant Nine Thrones." Elder Xie cautioned.

"Yes, there are only a few Saint Servants outside. The Storyteller, the Old Woodcutter and even Haitang'er from the Eighth Palace. I found a portrait and it's not them." Ghost Granny laughed sinisterly.

"So it could be a trap!" Elder Xie said in a low voice; he feared for his life.

"Ha!" Ghost Granny was amused. "Old man, have you been scared sh*tless by the Saint Servant? Or did you receive such a great shock in the Blood World that you left your soul there? Xu Xiaoshou would not have known that we would pass by here. How could he have planned anything?"

"Besides!" She paused and sneered. "If Xu Xiaoshou was under the protection of the Saint Servant Nine Thrones, would you dare to attack him?"

Elder Xie was speechless and could only remain silent.

"You did not dare to attack him when the Saint Servant Nine Thrones was by his side. Now that the Saint Servant Nine Thrones is no longer there, you are still afraid. How long do you intend to wait?"

Ghost Granny stuck out her tongue and licked her chapped pale lips and sneered coldly.

"Are you going to wait until Xu Xiaoshou is alone in a dark alley before you dare to make a move?"

"Or would you say at that moment, that there might be people who are hidden in the dark to protect him, and that we can't act rashly?"

"Elder Xie, you were never this timid before! I don't understand why you were brought to this wretched location in the first place!"

Ghost Granny gestured violently at her feet and shouted.

When he heard this, Elder Xie's face turned red. It was clear the other party's words were meant to mock and ridicule him for being such a coward after the encounter on the Abyss Island and the Blood World. Now he was overly timid.

"What I meant was that we can first perform a sacrificial refining of the Blood Tree's Yin Branch. It won't be too late to make a move then." He added the last sentence to reassure himself.

"By the time you're done, it'll be too late!"

Ghost Granny flapped her hand and nearly hit Elder Xie's face.

"Can the Blood Tree's Yin branch help turn you into a Saint? It can't! However Xu Xiaoshou's head can be used by the Three Incenses to exchange for a reward."

"Don't forget the backing the Three Incenses have! Our reward will be timely and there would not be any danger if we absorb all of it!"

"There's still..."

Ghost Granny paused for a moment and looked around, the greed evident in her eyes.

"Now that the other three are not here, as long as you and I make a move and successfully obtain it, we would be able to get more than twice the previous profit. There is no need to give them a share of the benefits!"

Elder Xie's heart was moved.

It had to be said that the latter part of her speech was indeed a temptation.

It was true that the Blood Tree's Yin Branch would not turn a person into a Saint. At most, it could increase a person's combat power and make it explode. However, it was still a long way to break through to the current realm, so it was considered an external force.

Xu Xiaoshou's head, on the other hand, could be turned into internal strength and could open up a whole new cultivation path - the path of a Demi-Saint!

"Don't be impulsive!" Elder Xie only thought about it for half a breath's time before he chose to go with Ghost Granny's plan. However, he still reminded her, "Don't let greed destroy your rationality. There are still two of them, and it could be dangerous."

"It's dangerous, but it's also an opportunity," Ghost Granny was well aware of the co-existence of opportunity and risk. When it came to the struggle for the great Path, how could there only be good fortune and no disaster?

A General's success was built on ten thousand deaths.

If they didn't seize this opportunity and made use of Xu Xiaoshou's body to ascend, they might not have such a good opportunity in decades!

"Do you know those two?" Elder Xie asked again to be on the safe side.

"I don't know them, but they are definitely not Demi-Saints!" Ghost Granny had already met the Saints. Even through the Spiritual Banner, she could only make out a few blurry human faces and she instantly recognized Xu Xiaoshou, the one she had been thinking about. She was also very certain that the other two were not Demi-Saints.

As long as they were not Demi-Saints, even if the two of them were at the higher void level, they would not be able to escape.

The enemy was in the open while they were in the dark!

The one in the dark was the assassin, so what other reason was there for them not to act?

When the higher void level fought with another higher void level, as long as the situation was not right and one side wanted to run, could the other side be stopped?

"We don't want to start a fight with those two. Let's just attack Xu Xiaoshou and flee immediately. How much trouble can we cause?" Ghost Granny's eyes blazed as she looked at the old man in front of her.

"Alright!" Elder Xie touched the Blood Tree's Yin Branch. He knew what the bottom line would be. He nodded and asked again, "Where is he? How do we do this, split them up?"

How could Ghost Granny not decipher the other party's thoughts? She sneered and said, "Since you're afraid, I'll take care of the two of them. I'll leave Xu Xiaoshou to you. But remember, their strength is still unknown. I might not be able to hold them off for too long. You only have one chance to attack."

When she recalled the three human faces she saw through the Spiritual Banner, one of them had his eyes closed as he rested. Ghost Granny was elated and thought, "This can be considered as Gifts from the Universe."

"Xu Xiaoshou seemed to be in cultivation. He can't defend himself against you. Don't let me down!"

"Hehehe." Elder Xie laughed eerily. Based on this distribution plan, how could he miss the opportunity?

"Watch my performance. Didn't you want to see the Southern Region's 'strange sorcery' that I obtained before? I'll open your eyes today!"

"That would be best." Ghost Granny turned and with a wave, tried to reach out in the direction where Xu Xiaoshou was located.

At this moment...

"Who's there?"

A loud angry shout rang out.

What followed was a terrifying roar.

"Who's looking for death!"

Even from such a distance, Elder Xie and Ghost Granny could clearly sense the killing intent in his words.

However, the two of them looked at each other and their eyes were filled with surprise.

"Anger?"

"It's good to be angry!"

Although he didn't know what had taken place, it was very likely that the other side had realized that they were being spied upon secretly.

But it didn't matter!

When they heard this, the other party's anger didn't seem to be faked. Something must have happened.

However, a calm higher void level was not easy to deal with. How much combat strength would a higher void level who had lost his cool, have left?

Wasn't this the same as personally presenting the flaw to the killer?

"Move out!"

This was an opportunity that couldn't be missed. Ghost Granny and Elder Xie had a tacit understanding, and both of them disappeared from where they were.

One of them transformed into a phantom form, while the other transformed into the form of a gray breeze. These two Gold Hunting Token assassins could not be seen either with the naked eye nor the spiritual senses.

Quick as a flash...

One street, two streets, three streets...

As they counted in their hearts, they passed a total of sixteen long streets which belonged to the Kingdom of Giants. Elder Xie and Ghost Granny knew that the foundational roots of Saint Ascension was right in front of them. They sat there and cultivated!

"Swish!"

Around the corner.

He rushed forward at lightning speed, and according to the Perception of his spiritual senses, the three of them would not even have time to react.

With a Spiritual Banner in her left hand and a Ghost Pearl in her right hand, Ghost Granny was about to surprise the two higher void levels who were protecting Xu Xiaoshou.

She had even estimated that the older one might be stronger, so she would use the Spiritual Banner to trap him for about half a breath.

The Ghost Pearl's power was relatively weak, but she felt that the middle-aged man should be weak as well. The Ghost Pearl should be able to hold him off for the length of a breath.

If this continued, Elder Xie could launch his attack thrice!

Three times?

What was there to worry about?

On the other side, Elder Xie went straight for his target and did not care that Xu Xiaoshou had his guardians at his side. He obviously trusted Ghost Granny's ability.

He turned into a gray, evil Qi and was about to crash into Xu Xiaoshou's mind.

"Evil Eye of the Yin Demon!"

At the same time, a huge and strange pupil with complicated patterns suddenly rose above the evil energy. Under the illumination of the pupil, all the evil in the world seemed to be awakened.

With such an attack, wouldn't Xu Xiaoshou, who was in a state of cultivation, directly go berserk? Die a sudden death?

"Die!"

Elder Xie passed through Xu Xiaoshou's body.

At the same time, the two ghostly weapons in Ghost Granny's hands also passed through the old man and the middle-aged man's bodies.

The world fell silent.

"Passed through!"

Behind the vague figure of Xu Xiaoshou and the illusionary image of the actual old man and the middle-aged man, Elder Xie and Ghost Granny were both stunned.

Why did he say 'passed through'?

They both used actual attacks, so how could they have 'passed through'?

Why were the three of them still so motionless and impervious at this time? They were like fools and allowed their attacks to pass through their bodies?

"Oh no, it's an illusion!"

In just a moment, Ghost Granny reacted.

"Elder Xie, we've fallen into an illusion trap! Elder Xie, they've already made their moves. Hurry and find the Array Eye!"
