Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 624 - 603: One More Update

Elder Can pushed Elder Su away, "Can’t you stop adding to the chaos? Can’t you see the situation clearly? This thing is much more dangerous than Ghost Shadow. Once the Young Master chooses this monster, in the Young Master’s eyes, Ghoul Ravine would be worth less than nothing. It’s possible that to make that monster even stronger, he would let it devour the disciples of Ghoul Ravine."

Elder Su, seeing Elder Can’s stern and urgent gaze, was momentarily stunned. However, after so many years of tacit understanding, Elder Su realized that Elder Can must know something that was disadvantageous to Ghoul Ravine.

Elder Su still found it hard to believe. How could it be? The Young Master was the very own son of the Ravine Master, and their similar bloodline couldn’t be denied.

Elder Can sneered with disdain. "Look at the Young Master; does he resemble a filial and wise grandson? In the eyes of the Young Master, the people of Ghoul Ravine probably aren’t worth even the weeds on the ground. I have long since discovered that the Young Master’s cold-bloodedness surpasses even that of the Ravine Master, with no life able to trigger the slightest ripple in him."

Elder Can was even certain that if the Ravine Master were to encounter a misfortune now, the Young Master wouldn’t feel saddened or distressed.

But what about that person?

Elder Can suddenly remembered the Commandery Princess. Why would the Commandery Princess...?

This was something that Elder Can couldn’t figure out at all.

The black monster moved forward slowly, as if it still couldn’t believe that Yin He would harm it. If it was possible to read expressions on its pitch-black face, it surely would have looked very wronged and hesitant at this moment.

After all, they could meet again. Shouldn’t they be happy?

Moreover, he could feel that the young man had become stronger. Perhaps the situation that existed before could improve, and they could cooperate even more seamlessly.

Yin He furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat irritated. Although this thing definitely wasn’t anything good, after so many years, it wasn’t easy to define it as good or bad. Yin He’s resolve wavered momentarily because of the creature’s action.

Elder Can panicked immediately. This thing knows the Young Master? Even before meeting the Commandery Princess? Elder Can instantly had a very bad premonition. They were finished.

The monster took another step forward, and the young man’s irritation increased. He wasn’t seeking these things. What if she didn’t care?

Then, this monster would be much more useful than the people of Ghoul Ravine.

The monster moved forward resolutely, its tentacles reaching out plaintively, trying to touch the young man. The young man waved it away but did not attack again.

Elder Can decisively turned around and grabbed Elder Su, walking aside with him.

"You, you... What about the Young Master?" Elder Su was perplexed; how could they leave now? What if something happened to the Young Master...

"Quickly go to the Cloud Room, you must bring the Princess Royal here. Whether Ghoul Ravine survives or not depends entirely on you..." Elder Can didn’t have time to explain more.

Elder Su was stunned. What did that mean?

Elder Can grabbed Elder Su and drew close, his expression serious and solemn.

"Su Mu, remember my words, you must let the Princess Royal know, this thing came to kill her, do you understand?"

Elder Su was slightly taken aback, he somewhat understood, yet didn’t entirely grasp it, but he knew there was no time to ask further. After so many years, if he was to trust anyone, it would be the Elder Can before him.

The only person he could entrust his life to.

Elder Su nodded, no longer asking questions, and immediately turned to leave.

Seeing this, Elder Can breathed a sigh of relief. By now, many disciples of Ghoul Ravine had rushed over and gathered behind Elder Can.

"Elder, Elder—" The Ling generation disciples hadn’t practiced spells, and at the moment couldn’t sense the presence in the air, but those disciples of Ghoul Ravine who had learned spells had already caught on and were looking at the monster in horror.

"Elder, this creature..."

Elder Can immediately silenced the person who was about to speak. Now was not the time for discussion, and moreover, with the Young Master’s indecision, if they were to reveal the truth now and the Young Master became furiously ashamed, he feared that Ghoul Ravine would meet an even swifter end.

The disciples of Ghoul Ravine were somewhat perplexed. Elder Can shook his head, thankfully at this moment Young Master Yin He’s attention was all on the creature before him, and he hadn’t noticed anything here.

Elder Can directed the disciples behind him, especially those who had studied those spells, to immediately leave this place and quietly instructed the two senior disciples of the Ling generation to take all these disciples and quickly leave Bu Er Temple.

Although the disciples were confused, they still turned and left swiftly, leaving less than a fifth of the people in the area.

...

"Master, it seems that there’s no more disturbance outside—" Inside the dungeon, there was silence, yet there were some very clever ones who now quietly approached the dungeon gate to inquire about the situation.

Even though it was not completely quiet inside the dungeon, the situation outside was very clear, especially since the creature had suddenly stopped, which puzzled everyone.

Just a moment ago, the creature had devoured the disciples of Ghoul Ravine exactly as Senior Brother Yu Sheng and Master Yu Sheng had described, and they had even witnessed with their own eyes that only a pile of bones remained of the Ghoul Ravine disciples inside the dungeon.

Master Yu Sheng also felt that something was not right. Why had it stopped? This was not the time when the creature should have been on a rampage, gorging on the energy of the Ghoul Ravine disciples, and Young Master Yin He would naturally be fighting intensely with the creature to protect Ghoul Ravine.

But why had it suddenly become quiet now?

"Senior brother, could we have been wrong?" Maybe that thing originally knew Young Master Yin He, so if they are now joining forces...

Master Yu Sheng’s expression changed—this situation...

Master Yu Sheng immediately went to the cell of Master Huo Yi.

"Master, there’s no disturbance outside, the creature didn’t make a move..." It’s not that he didn’t believe his own master’s judgment, but the fact was, there was simply no noise outside.

Master Huo Yi nodded; he had anticipated this situation as well.

"There’s no need to hurry. The creature will eventually come out; all we have done is to accelerate the timing of its emergence." At the beginning, his warning to Yin He was not an exaggeration—he had already seen the flaws in the spells practiced by Ghoul Ravine. As the energy within the bodies of the disciples of Ghoul Ravine accumulated more and more, and gradually infiltrated the entire mountain, their seal would inevitably fail, and the creature would emerge sooner or later.

However, he didn’t believe that Yin He would exchange Ghoul Ravine for anything, and moreover, as far as he knew, Yin He was now unable to make such an exchange.

Therefore, Master Huo Yi was not in a rush; he was just waiting.

The youth might not be aware of this situation, but the creature would definitely be able to sense it.

...

Outside the dungeon, the young man still stood there. As for what Elder Can and the disciples of Ghoul Ravine were doing behind him, he didn’t care. The only thing he cared about was whether the thing before him would catch Nian Ru’s eye.

If it did, then the next steps would be much easier.

...

Zheng Nianru had already returned to the Cloud Room. Throughout the journey, Ju Nanyi did not speak again, and Zheng Nianru couldn’t be bothered to explain anything further. With her current identity, Ju Nanyi naturally couldn’t say anything to her about it.

As soon as Elder Su arrived at the Cloud Room, he rushed in.
