Chapter 1783: True Identity
From the very beginning, the Jade-faced Judge's stance was very humble, leading the Second Elder to always believe that he had the Jade-faced Judge's group firmly under control.
Now, hearing the Jade-faced Judge say this, he finally understood that it wasn't he who controlled the Jade-faced Judge's group, but rather that the Jade-faced Judge had control over them.
From the moment the Jade-faced Judge approached them, from the moment Ge Kaiyang became his disciple, he fell into the Jade-faced Judge's trap. Everything done afterward was almost as if planned by the Jade-faced Judge, and they were merely walking step by step within his plan, ultimately helping him achieve all his goals.
Thinking carefully now, the Second Elder wished he could gouge out his own eyes. From beginning to end, he had been used by the Jade-faced Judge, while he was self-satisfied, thinking he had control over these people. This was the most ironic part!
Clearly, all of Jade-faced Judge's purposes were to find the Boundary Point, unseal the Ghost Realm's Boundary Point, and lead the Ghost Realm's people into the Human Realm.
As for the Ghost Realm, the Second Elder had also heard some things. The Ghost Realm is different from the Heavenly Realm; their entry into the Human Realm is not just to control it simply, they even intend to turn the Human Realm into a second Ghost Realm.
After all, after members of the Human Realm die, their souls are akin to the citizens of the Ghost Realm. Although not as pure as the Ghost Clan, they are suitable for enslavement by the Ghost Realm.
In such a situation, once the Ghost Realm and Human Realm are connected, the Human Realm would be completely doomed. By then, there would be no living people in the Human Realm, turning entirely into a piece of the Ghost Realm.
Moreover, once the Ghost Realm enters the Human Realm, they will definitely break the Heavenly Road immediately, severing the passage between the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm. In this way, even the Heavenly Realm cannot interfere in Human Realm affairs, allowing the Ghost Realm to act recklessly.
The Second Elder and the others helped the Heavenly Court do so many things just to establish a connection with the Heavenly Realm. If the Heavenly Road is cut off, then everything they have done would be in vain, and they wouldn't even think about surviving!
Therefore, what the Jade-faced Judge is doing now is simply the enemy of all humanity!
The Second Elder was extremely angry in his heart. Looking at the Jade-faced Judge speaking eloquently, he suddenly grabbed a horsetail whisk from the air, taking advantage of the Jade-faced Judge's unawareness, and charged fiercely towards his back, intending to backstab him.
Although the Second Elder's strength was far inferior to experts like the Sect Leader of Ling Xiao Pavilion, he was still not weak. In his view, the Jade-faced Judge had just used the Blood Escape technique a few days ago, causing damage to his origin. His power should have severely decreased, perhaps even weaker than his own.
However, when he rushed beside the Jade-faced Judge, he clearly felt something was wrong. The momentum on the Jade-faced Judge's body suddenly rose, and the powerful aura made him feel a great crisis.
Panicked, the Second Elder hurriedly withdrew his power, wanting to retreat, but it was too late.
The Jade-faced Judge turned around, took a step forward, easily catching up with him, deflected the horsetail whisk he swung over, and grabbed his neck, lifting him into the air.
With his neck seized by the Jade-faced Judge, the Second Elder felt as if all his power had been sealed, utterly unable to resist. He breathed painfully, angrily looking at the Jade-faced Judge: "You... your power..."
"My power, why hasn't it decreased?" The Jade-faced Judge sneered: "You thought I used the Blood Escape technique and hurt my origin, my power would drastically drop? Hehe, how naive, did you really think I would use Blood Escape?"
"You... you didn't use Blood Escape?" The Second Elder was dumbfounded: "Then... then how did you escape the encirclement of Ling Xiao Pavilion and Tianya Haijiao?"
"This is a secret technique of my Ghost Clan, capable of increasing a person's speed several times in a short time!" The Jade-faced Judge sneered: "However, it consumes considerable power and cannot be used again within a month after one use, so it has some drawbacks. But using it to break through in such a situation is the most suitable."
Saying this, the Jade-faced Judge sneered again: "I left some blood traces, and you all thought I used Blood Escape. Hehe, as I've said before, you people are nothing but a bunch of fools, with just a little trick you all got utterly deceived. With people like you, what right does the Human Realm have to contend with our Ghost Realm?"
The Second Elder's face was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, trembling as he said: "From what I know, the entrance to the Ghost Realm... was sealed a thousand years ago, you... how old are you, you... are you really a member of the Ghost Realm?"
"Hahaha..." The Jade-faced Judge laughed, looking up: "You're right, the entrance to the Ghost Realm was indeed sealed a thousand years ago. But who told you, I'm not over a thousand years old?"
"What?" The Second Elder's eyes widened: "You... you haven't reached the Land Immortal Realm, how can you live so long?"
"Old fool, you've got it wrong!" The Jade-faced Judge shook his head: "It's not that I haven't reached the Land Immortal Realm, but that I lowered my own realm. Do you think members of our Ghost Realm find it easy to stay in the Human Realm, disguised as the Human Clan? My past power was not inferior to the current Heavenly Court Master. But at that time, my power was too conspicuous, and impersonating the Human Clan was indeed too difficult. I had no choice but to disperse all my cultivation and start all over again."
The Second Elder was dumbfounded; he could never have imagined that the Jade-faced Judge's past cultivation was so terrifying. Comparable to the Heavenly Court Master's power, he was among the pinnacle of the Land Immortals.
Such power, and he was willing to disperse all his cultivation to start over, what immense determination he must have!
Speaking of the past, the Jade-faced Judge seemed quite nostalgic, softly saying: "It took me two hundred years to break through the Venerable bottleneck. Later, I developed a family, intending to break the Ghost Realm's Boundary Point long ago, but at that time, someone discovered my anomaly. I had no choice but to fake my death, go into hiding, let that family gradually decline. To ensure these secrets wouldn't be leaked, I even ordered the killing of that family's members, destroying all materials related to me!"
If Su Yang were here, listening to the Jade-faced Judge's words, he would immediately understand what the Monkey King had previously told him.
In that family's past, the portrait of the Jade-faced Judge was actually real, precisely left by the descendants of that family back then!
