Nightmare Apostle

"Hiss—" The unsettling feeling in Yang Xiao’s heart grew stronger. Why does it seem like this Yu Yuan Sect Master has set eyes on him? No matter where he goes or what he does, he ends up getting tangled with this Sect Master.

Yang Xiao felt a strange sensation, as if he had been chasing this Sect Master’s footsteps his entire life, living in the other’s shadow.

If he wants to break free from these shackles, the simplest and most direct way is to completely eliminate this Sect Master.

The missing part of his Soul-Capturing Mirror is still in this person’s possession. Once he retrieves the Ghost Lantern Rod, the next target will be the Sect Master.

Yang Xiao tried to force the Master of Bone Pavilion to reveal his hideout, but no matter how he pressed, the Great Protector claimed ignorance. Yang Xiao had no choice but to give up because, after all, he had obtained all three maps, and decoding them was only a matter of time.

"Did your patron know that you ambushed me?" Yang Xiao needed to ensure whether the other party would get wind of this and then relocate his hideout.

If that’s the case, then even if he searches for it, it will only be a wild goose chase.

Upon hearing this, the Great Protector shook his head repeatedly, "No... he wouldn’t. The patron has been shut away in closed seclusion, and even I haven’t seen him for over a year. He... he knows nothing of the outside world."

"In that secret realm where he’s hiding, he’s all alone, isn’t he?" Yang Xiao continued his inquiry.

"Yes, that secret realm is of utmost importance to the patron; he... he is not willing to share it with anyone."

"Besides... without the strength above a Half-step Nether Realm, it’s difficult to stay in that secret realm for a long time. Even... even I can only stay for a month at most." Resigned to his fate, the Great Protector became listless, answering Yang Xiao’s questions without reservation.

"Good, now tell me about your Heart Transfer Technique." Yang Xiao seemed satisfied with the Great Protector’s attitude.

He also possessed a space-type magical artifact. If he could learn this trick from the other, it would add another life-saving card to his hand.

Upon hearing this, hope seemed to ignite within the Great Protector; his originally dull eyes lit up for a moment before returning to normal. "I can teach you, but... but it requires that magical artifact."

Unfortunately, Yang Xiao saw through it all. In terms of cunning schemes, ten Great Protectors couldn’t match him.

Yang Xiao kept the Human Bone Staff with him, instantly sensing the Great Protector’s spiritual power fluctuation and clearly aware that the other had thoughts he shouldn’t have.

Yang Xiao didn’t hold back, letting out a cold laugh, and raised the Ghost Bamboo Stick, delivering a vicious blow to the Great Protector’s face, brutally gouging out one of his eyes.

In the next second, he slowly transferred the eyeball onto the other’s arm, offering a new perspective to re-evaluate the world—a terrifyingly unprecedented experience that made the Great Protector scream incessantly.

"What are you doing?! Stop... stop, stop!"

As a master of Half-step Nether Realm, within the Bone Pavilion, the Great Protector ranked just beneath one person but above a thousand others—never had he been treated like this. That gleam of a thought instantly vanished.

"Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? You planned on getting that magical artifact and then ambushing me, right?"

Yang Xiao coldly smiled while keeping his actions steady, continuing the torture, "Old coffin dweller, I advise you to wise up and abandon that idea soon, or I’ll dismember you and send you to the Mingshui Public Office!"

"Hah, the people there aren’t as easygoing as I am. You killed their Director and took his body away to sell; they despise you to the core, willing to skin you alive!"

"Ah ah ah!!" Following a series of screams, Yang Xiao thoroughly annihilated the Great Protector’s little scheme at its bud.

After capturing the Great Protector, Yang Xiao promptly arranged for the Mirror Ghost to search his body and strip off all his fine equipment.

On him were three magical artifacts: a Golden Silk Armor, a spiked Finger Tiger, and a blood-colored clay resembling red modeling clay.

The clay felt coarse and cracked on the surface, and through the cracks, one could see fresh red blood flowing slowly, along with the pungent smell of blood.

Yang Xiao wasn’t interested in the first two artifacts, but the blood-colored clay was a good treasure, it was a space-type magical artifact.

For so long now, it was the first time Yang Xiao managed to snatch this type of magical artifact from others—a significant progress.

He once had another opportunity. In the secret realm found in the Yi Sect, he killed a female ninja nicknamed "Shadow Spider" from Japan’s Iga Sect, who possessed a space-type magical artifact, but he couldn’t get it.

That female ninja was an exception. Usually, such level artifacts are mostly in the hands of masters beyond Half-step Nether Realm or those from the direct lineage of big families.

For example, Jiu Shan Sha Yue also had a space-type magical artifact.

This artifact was a huge asset for Yang Xiao, whether to give as a gesture of goodwill, or as a bargaining chip in the future; it was a treasure valuable and sincere enough.

Yang Xiao maneuvered the samurai puppet forward, gripping the Great Protector’s head tightly; any movement would instantly cost him his skull cap.

Death wasn’t an option; Yang Xiao would never allow him to die before he was drained completely.

After ensuring all safety measures, Yang Xiao allowed the Great Protector to take hold of the blood-colored clay, instructing him to demonstrate the heart transfer.

To directly observe, Yang Xiao even thoughtfully used the Human Bone Staff to open the Great Protector’s chest, crouching there to watch.
