Chapter 539: A Wasteful Endeavor

Chapter 539: A Wasteful Endeavor

Several days quickly passed, and the second spy and the third spy hadn't taken any action, fearing exposure of their identity.

Fortunately, Ghost Master Jim sent someone to inform them that they could now go to meet the deity's emissary.

"The deity's emissary in the mortal realm certainly knows how to make a spectacle," Su Chen, upon receiving the news, couldn't help but laugh.

He was genuinely interested in the Ghost Clan's deity. Who was secretly granting power to the Ghost Clan? If the power of Ghost Patterns was related to the body, then the deity's power focused on longevity.

As long as one's lifespan was sufficient, they could exchange it for tremendous power, even if that power seemed highly irrational.

The two spies gathered in a concealed location, accompanied by six Ghost Clan members, all of whom were Eighth-Order Ghost Clan members.

The second spy contemplated that only Ghost Clan members who reached the Eighth Order seemed to have the qualification to believe in that deity.

"Lord Jim," the Ghost Clan members shouted in unison.

Ghost Master Jim walked over with an elderly gait. From appearances alone, he didn't look like a powerful individual.

"The place you'll be going to later is the only location where you can hear the voice of the deity. I hope you won't make any untoward movements. Understood?"

"Understood!"

"Very well, follow me."

Ghost Master Jim led them into a small mountain. Inside, it had been hollowed out and contained a peculiar-looking apparatus.

"Stand next to the machine, and don't move randomly." Jim seemed to have no intention of explaining further, and the other Ghost Clan members were all expressionless, as if they had seen this apparatus many times before.

The two spies remained silent and followed along quietly.

A beam of light flashed, and they disappeared on the spot. Surprisingly, it was a teleportation device.

Su Chen wasn't surprised that Ghost Clan had teleportation devices, but what puzzled him was what kind of place warranted the Ghost Clan to use a teleportation device.

Even though the Ghost Clan had teleportation devices, they didn't have many of them. Using such an important teleportation device for a specific location was quite intriguing.

Su Chen borrowed the second spy's eyes and saw the scene after the teleportation. It was a luxurious hall with various bizarre reliefs carved on it. Some depicted humans, some Ghost Clan members, and others looked like monstrous creatures.

The second spy immediately steadied himself, recognizing that only by knowing the other side's method could they understand their true intentions. This time, he was taking a risk by doing so.

Finally, the emissary extended his hand and lightly touched the second spy's brow.

Suddenly, the second spy felt a roaring in his head, a strange energy entering his body and roaming freely.

"Is it this energy that caused their breakthrough?" the second spy thought, but soon, this energy seemed to sense that something was amiss and violently erupted.

The emissary seemingly hadn't expected this situation, and he looked at the second spy with a strange expression.

At this moment, the system's alarm sounded: "Alert, alert! An unidentified entity is attempting to control the second spy. Should the Master spend Energy Points to counterattack?"

Su Chen's gaze hardened. It seemed that the Ghost Clan deity was no benevolent being, as they had placed something on their believers that allowed them to be controlled.

If he hadn't let the second spy test it out, he might never have known.

"Of course, counterattack."

"Spend fifty million Energy Points to counterattack. Counterattack initiated."

"Wait..."

Su Chen's eyes widened. Why did it require so many Energy Points?

But before he could finish, fifty million Energy Points were gone, and at the same time, the second spy noticed that the foreign energy on him had disappeared.

As a spy, the most crucial aspect was adaptability. He realized that he couldn't remain unchanged after seeing that all the other Ghost Clan members had experienced breakthroughs after the guidance.

So, the second spy pretended to suddenly break through from the Eighth Order Early-Term to the pinnacle of the Eighth Order, astonishing everyone.

"May the deity above, this is incredible! You are the most promising Ghost Clan member I have ever seen!" The emissary's voice trembled with excitement.

Jim stared intently at the second spy. He hadn't expected Moyu to find such a promising follower. The benefits the new follower received right after believing in the deity were astonishing.

"This potential must be secured. It would be such a waste to leave it to Moyu." (To be continued...)
