603: There is a ghost
"The second contingency?" Xiao Fan's brows furrowed.
After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly snorted, "Don't forget, you came here to destroy the Galaxy!"
"Why should I trust you?"
"I could say you're the second contingency!"
Hearing this, Xie Linqing remained unperturbed, stating indifferently, "You can go ask your Senior Brother and the others."
"Ask them if I'm trustworthy."
At these words, Xiao Fan grew even more puzzled, asking, "You know them?"
"Then why didn't you tell them about these things?"
"Why should I tell them?" Xie Linqing's eyes darkened as she retorted.
This confused Xiao Fan even more.
Her previous sentence made it sound like she was on their side.
But this sentence made it sound like her relationship with his Senior Brother wasn't good.
What exactly was going on?
At this moment, Xie Linqing impatiently said in a deep voice, "Alright, now you need to find a way to pause the resurrection of Yu Baiyi."
"You should know, if the Lord of Jail is the second contingency, then both of your close female friends will be in mortal danger."
"Now, go back and tell your Senior Brother about this, and have him immediately summon all Supreme Creators back, and also call over all Emperor-level experts the Human Race can mobilize."
"All of them?" Xiao Fan's expression changed slightly, asking, "Do we need such a grand display?"
Xie Linqing snorted coldly, "Do you think the Lord of the Temple is some nobody?"
"Was the first contingency too easy to break, making you think he's nothing?"
"Get this straight, the one who broke the first contingency wasn't you, it was Miles. How many years did Miles prepare to break this contingency? How many secrets did he conceal to achieve it?"
"Otherwise, do you think you could defeat 'Miles' with the Supreme Law?"
"If it weren't for Miles's wisdom, this planet would already be finished!"
"Just that one contingency would be enough to destroy everything here; the latter two wouldn't even need to appear!"
These words left Xiao Fan with no choice but to agree.
At that time, he still didn't understand the concept of the Supreme Law. The initial 'darkened Miles' had never used the Supreme Law in their several encounters, which was a tactic to deliberately show weakness to the enemy.
But these words also reminded Xiao Fan that he still had a portion of 'Miles''s power within him.
However, if he were to use this power again to break the second contingency... wouldn't that mean they were too incompetent?
Xiao Fan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll go back to find Senior Brother now."
He and Ghost Seven left the underground palace.
On the way, Ghost Seven's expression was somewhat flustered, saying, "If everything is really as the Silk Empress said..."
"My Master is the biggest enemy..."
"Doesn't that mean Grandmaster might not be able to be resurrected?"
"Junior Martial Uncle's expectations..."
Hearing this, Xiao Fan's expression changed slightly.
If everything was false, the evil spirit would go mad, right?
He couldn't imagine that scene.
No, there must be a way, no need to rush, go find Senior Brother first!
Leaving the underground palace and arriving at the main hall, they saw Mu Guang sitting at a rosewood table and chairs, drinking tea. He held the teacup, not drinking for a long time, as if lost in thought, a slight smile on his lips.
As a powerhouse with such immense Mental Energy, he didn't even notice Xiao Fan walking out, which showed that his mind was completely focused on Revered Master at that moment.
Only after hearing footsteps did Mu Guang turn to look at the two, greeting them with a smile, and couldn't help but ask, "When are Shao Yan and Ding Dong coming?"
Xiao Fan chuckled, saying, "Those two, they're still getting ready. Women putting on makeup is always a hassle."
"I'll go hurry them up now."
"Oh... good!" Mu Guang nodded heavily. Watching Xiao Fan and Ghost Seven leave, his brows furrowed slightly, a vague unease stirring in his heart.
Xiao Fan's acting was very good.
But it couldn't deceive his Mental Energy.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the underground palace.
Suddenly, he sharply looked up, only to see the Lord of Jail, clad in a black and red robe, standing at the top of the stairs at some unknown point, expressionless.
"Senior Brother." The Lord of Jail nodded slightly.
Mu Guang frowned, asking, "Is everything ready?"
"Mhm, almost. I'm going down for a bit." The Lord of Jail turned and walked into the underground palace.
This scene intensified Mu Guang's unease to the extreme.
He knew that Xie Linqing was suppressed below.
Xiao Fan had just gone to see Xie Linqing and then suddenly left.
He had barely left when the Lord of Jail was going down to see her too.
But what did Xie Linqing have to do with the resurrection of Revered Master today?
Why were both of them going to see her?
The flustered Mu Guang finally chose to stand up and followed, wanting to see what was going on.
On the other side, Xiao Fan, who had left the Hall of Valor, immediately contacted Shao Yan and Ding Dong, who were about to depart, telling them to stay home and wait for news.
Then he quickly ran to his Senior Brother's elemental reaction chamber.
But upon arrival, it was empty. His brows furrowed in unease, and he quickly contacted him using an electronic device.
After a few seconds of 'beep beep beep,' it finally connected!
The next second, his Senior Brother's familiar voice came through, making Xiao Fan breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, Xiao Fan?"
"Hey, let me tell you some good news first."
"I found the Sea Siren Queen!"
Xiao Fan quickly nodded, wanting to interrupt and get to the main point.
But his Senior Brother said with a slight smile, "This Sea Siren Queen is quite close to you."
"Guess who it is."
"You definitely know her."
Xiao Fan had no mind to guess such things now, and quickly said, "Senior Brother, I have something urgent to tell you!"
"Oh, what's so urgent now?" His Senior Brother laughed, "Come on, guess."
"Hmm... I can't guess." Xiao Fan sighed, saying, "Senior Brother..."
"Xiao Fan! Why are you in such a hurry?" Zheng Qiong snorted.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly permeated Xiao Fan's heart.
What was wrong with Senior Brother?
He wouldn't usually say such time-wasting things.
And insisting that he guess?
It was too deliberate, wasn't it?
"Zheng Qiong!"
Suddenly, Xiao Fan roared.
"What's wrong, Xiao Fan?"
"Hey, let me tell you some good news first."
"I found the Sea Siren Queen!"
Hearing this, Xiao Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Hadn't Senior Brother just said this?
Why was he saying it again now?
He looked down, it was Senior Brother's phone number.
It was Senior Brother's voice.
There was a problem, a big problem!!
He looked at Ghost Seven beside him.
Ghost Seven was also full of panic.
What the hell!
This time, it was truly a haunting!
Suddenly.
He abruptly looked out the window, only to see a dazzling white pillar of light shooting up into the sky, illuminating all directions!
He focused his gaze.
That white light came from the Dean's residence; it was the Dean's power.
Suddenly, the Dean's voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.
"There's a ghost in the academy!"
"Everyone gather on the sports field!"
