Realm of the Night God

In the eyes of the spirit master, Master Wu and his two sons were like weak and fragile children, while he was like a strong and burly man, holding a weapon in his hand. He, of course, wouldn't put Master Wu and his sons in his eyes.

He was saying these things to Master Wu not because he wanted to reason with him, but because he wanted to take revenge and mentally torture Master Wu and his sons.

Because Master Wu was the second-in-command of the LechengYin Division, many spirit masters and Spirit God Temple members had fallen into his hands. Therefore, this spirit master had long harbored hatred and killing intent towards him, but he had been waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Now that Master Wu had been trapped, the spirit master wouldn't miss this chance to torture him. He felt that killing Master Wu directly would be too easy for him, so he wanted to destroy Master Wu's psychological defenses first, make him feel fear, and then decide whether to kill him.

Seeing Master Wu remain silent, the spirit master glanced at Second Son Wu, who was trembling with fear, and continued to speak with a smile.

"I can see that you're very concerned about your two sons, but I'm not sure which one you love more."

The spirit master's face revealed a sinister smile after a brief pause.

"You're definitely going to die today, and no one can change that. However, I'm not the kind of person who likes to kill mercilessly, so I can give you a chance to choose. I can promise to let one of your sons go, but the other must stay here and die. You decide."

The spirit master's words made Master Wu and his sons' faces change dramatically. Eldest Son Wu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but he didn't speak. Second Son Wu looked at Master Wu, wanting to say something, but the words didn't come out. However, his gaze towards Master Wu was filled with a hint of pleading.

"You're really ruthless with this move."

Master Wu spoke in a low voice, and the spirit master burst into laughter.

"Haha, Master Wu, have you gone senile? You three should have died here today, but I'm giving you a chance to let one of your sons live. You don't know how to appreciate my kindness and instead blame me. Is there no justice in this world?"

The spirit master was secretly laughing coldly in his heart. He had no intention of letting anyone go, regardless of Master Wu's choice. Today, all three of them would die.

Moreover, he had already made up his mind. The person Master Wu chose to live would die first. Once Master Wu made his choice, he would immediately kill the chosen person, which would definitely give Master Wu a greater psychological blow.

Later, when the chosen person died, the abandoned person would temporarily survive, and the expressions on the two fathers' faces would be extremely vivid. It was possible that they would even turn against each other, which was exactly what the spirit master wanted to see.

"What, can't bear to make a choice?"

Seeing Master Wu remain silent, the spirit master asked with a smile.

Master Wu still didn't speak, his face already dark and gloomy, his body slightly trembling, revealing the intense mental struggle he was going through.

"Heh heh, it's indeed hard to make a choice, but my time is limited, and I can't keep wasting it on you. I'll count to three, and if you still can't make a choice, then both of your sons will die here."

As soon as the spirit master finished speaking, he prepared to count, but someone interrupted him before he could even start. The full series is hosted on My Virtual Library Empire, known as MV7LEMPYR.

"If what you're saying is true, I hope to let my younger brother live."

The one who spoke was Eldest Son Wu. Although he was clear-headed, he knew that the other party was probably playing a trick on the three of them, but he couldn't help but take the bait, even if it was just a glimmer of hope. He decided to leave this glimmer of hope for his younger brother.

When Second Son Wu heard this, his facial expression visibly relaxed, as if a drowning person had grabbed onto a lifeline, giving him a new lease on life. However, after reacting, his facial expression became complex, because he only then realized that his hope for survival was bought with his older brother's life.

"Heh, sorry, you don't have the qualifications to make a choice. This choice must be made by Master Wu himself."

The spirit master sneered, and his words crushed the hope that had just been born in Second Son Wu's heart, while also making Eldest Son Wu's face turn ugly.

"He's obviously playing us. Such a clumsy performance, I don't believe you'd fall for it."

Master Wu looked at Eldest Son Wu and said in a deep voice, then shifted his gaze back to the spirit master.

"You don't need to report anything. I won't make a choice. Not only do I not believe your nonsense, but even if what you said was true, I absolutely wouldn't make a choice. Both of them are my sons, and they're equally important to me. I absolutely won't do something like sacrificing one to save the other."

Master Wu's words made the spirit master's smile gradually disappear.

"Hmph, you're an old fool who doesn't know what's good for you. You're given an opportunity, but you don't want it. Then don't blame me for not being polite. I see that this guy looks like he's scared out of his wits, so I'll start with him first."

The spirit master's words ended, and his gaze shifted from Master Wu's body to Second Son Wu's terrified face.

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit master's body emitted a large amount of Yin Qi, which condensed behind him and transformed into a malevolent spirit with blood-red eyes and a terrifying appearance.

Judging from the power fluctuations emitted by this malevolent spirit, it should have just broken through to this realm not long ago. However, even so, its strength was enough to crush Master Wu and his two sons.

Among the three, only Master Wu's strength was the strongest, but even he was no match for this malevolent spirit. As for Eldest Son Wu and Second Son Wu, they were even less capable of dealing with it.

Currently, Master Wu was only one step away from opening his heaven soul, but he still hadn't opened it. Facing the malevolent spirit alone, he had almost no chance of winning, even if the malevolent spirit had just broken through.

The malevolent spirit condensed, and a chilling, ghostly laughter came from its mouth, looking at Master Wu and his two sons with an even more greedy gaze.

It was no wonder it would reveal such an expression, as the Yin spirit power within Master Wu and his two sons was the favorite of ghosts. If it could devour the Yin spirit power within them, it would definitely increase its strength. Therefore, when it looked at Master Wu and his two sons, its blood-red eyes revealed a greedy gaze.

"Dealing with trash like you, I'm too lazy to take action. Go, devour the three of them."

When the spirit master gave the order to his Guardian Spirit, Master Wu quickly took out two thumb-sized ceramic bottles and handed them to Eldest Son Wu and Second Son Wu.

"Drink the elixir inside the bottles, then open your ghost eyes and retreat to the edge of the barrier!"

Master Wu didn't explain what the elixir was, because in this situation, he didn't have the time to explain.

As for why they needed to open their ghost eyes, Master Wu didn't explain, but the two brothers of the Wu Family roughly understood their father's intentions. Only by opening their ghost eyes could they avoid being trapped in the illusion realm set up by the ghost.

However, the spirit master's Guardian Spirit was a malevolent spirit-level ghost, and Eldest Son Wu and Second Son Wu's strength was average. If the opponent was determined to cast an illusion realm on them, they would still find it difficult to escape, even if they opened their ghost eyes.

Of course, one thing was undeniable - opening their ghost eyes was definitely stronger than not opening them.

As for why they needed to retreat to the edge of the barrier, it was naturally because they were worried that the upcoming battle would affect them, and once Master Wu had the opportunity to break through the barrier, they could escape in the first instance.
