Chapter 431: Chapter 287: Welcome the Grand Sect Master! [Second Update!]_2

I’ve never really pushed open the doors of this Rapid News Agency!

"Although fast, it lacks strength," the Little White Ape murmured, "No wonder when it pushed me just now, it was so weak. I thought it was holding back, but it turns out I was overthinking it. Speaking of which, with such little strength, how did it manage to annihilate the entire army led by the Deputy Commander of East Mountain Prefecture’s Observatory?"

"..."

Lin Yan’s expression remained calm as he glanced at the Rapid Ghost.

From the beginning, Lin Yan did not believe that the Deputy Commander and his people were killed by the Rapid Ghost.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to let his brother subdue this little ghost just now, but would have executed the Rapid Ghost immediately after its confession!

"I didn’t kill them!" the Rapid Ghost quickly said, "I just run fast, I can’t kill anyone... They wanted to break into the Rapid News Agency, so I just made some noise and scared them away..."

It only felt a chill envelop its body just now and hurried to explain again.

That group of people had blundered their way to the doors of the Rapid News Agency.

It had chosen the strongest among them and taken the mirror from his hands.

Listening to what the others called him, the person from whom it had snatched the mirror was the Deputy Commander.

This Rapid Ghost, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, had thought it had driven the group away, not daring them to probe again.

But unexpectedly, the Deputy Commander took the opportunity to try to push open the doors of the Rapid News Agency.

He was struck by the Qi Mechanism of the Blood Pond within, grew black hair all over his body on the spot, and then went mad.

Before his madness, he had still called out, ordering the others to withdraw immediately.

But those people, in their panic, took the most dangerous path of retreat, and it had blocked them for a moment.

That was taken as cutting off those people’s retreat.

However, the outcome was still good, except for that mad Deputy Commander who could not be stopped, all the others had been driven into the three safer passages on the left.

Those three paths were relatively safer.

At least now, those people should still be alive.

"..."

Lin Yan’s gaze swept over to check the passages, and he then withdrew his gaze, saying in a deep voice, "Enter the Rapid News Agency first, find the clues!"

Boom!

The Little White Ape leapt to the ground, employing the Five Mountains Dragon Capture technique. Its body enlarged, transforming into a white ape about three meters tall, with bulging muscles.

It then pushed with both hands,

and the doors of the Rapid News Agency were pushed open three feet wide.

The chaotic Qi Mechanism from within, along with a bloodthirsty aura, rushed towards them.

But the current Little White Ape, being part demon, part of the Human Clan, and also having some traits of bizarre creatures, simply shook its body and was barely affected.

Lin Yan and Lin Lei then saw the scene inside.

Behind the door, there were nothing but ruins and rubble.

This place seemed to have been a small temple previously.

From the remaining traces, it had undergone a fierce battle many years ago.

Fallen beams, slanted columns, broken bricks, cracked walls, and decayed desks.

Among the shattered floor tiles, there seemed to be some fragments of bamboo slips, but they had rotted to the point where the writing on them was illegible.

"The Judge once mentioned in passing that this is the office of the Rapid News Agency, where information from various sources is reviewed," the Rapid Ghost explained, "A long time ago, creatures like me, the Rapid Ghosts, would report the information gathered from all areas here, and it was also dispatched from here..."

It said this with some depression, appearing disheartened.

As the sole survivor of the Rapid News Agency, the future new head, it was that detestable Judge who had told it what the Rapid News Agency was all about.

Passing through this hall, behind it was the Blood Pond.

This pond was neatly square, with each side being slightly over three meters long.

It contained half a pond’s worth of fresh blood.

The smell of blood hit them squarely in the face.

For a moment, it seemed as though a massive amount of Yin Souls and demonic spirits were contained within, howling and roaring.

It momentarily made Lin Yan feel as though he was seeing the Netherworld Water he had seen once in the Netherworld.

"So, were you baptized in this pond initially?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.

"Yes, that person said that after the baptism in the Blood Pond, my soul would not scatter, and from then on, I was a servant of the Netherworld, a contemporary Ghost God," the Rapid Ghost said, then added, "Later, whenever I felt a bit of dispersal, I would soak in the pond, and then I would become more condensed."

"Yin Souls and demonic spirits, surviving for many years, are extremely rare," Lin Yan muttered to himself, "Is it this Blood Pond that maintains its soul intact, allowing it to exist for so long? In that case, does the Blood Pond have an effect on souls?"

"Master, according to what this little ghost said, does the water in the pond look like some kind of miraculous liquid?" Little White Ape’s eyes lit up as it spoke in a low voice.

"Hard to say... What’s beneficial to ghosts might be deadly poison to us," Lin Yan replied, then glanced at his second brother.

Lin Lei shook his head; he had not been following Mr. Lu for long and likewise could not discern the secrets of this pool of blood water.

"Even if it is a miraculous liquid, we can’t take it with us for now. Let’s bottle a few and have Mr. Lu take a look!"

Having said this, Lin Yan sent Little White Ape to fill two bottles with blood water, then looked at the Rapid Ghost and said in a deep voice, "For so many years, have you never left the Rapid News Agency?"

"I never used to," the Rapid Ghost seemed to perceive his intent, quickly indicating that it was unfamiliar with places outside the Rapid News Agency.

"So, you mean to say you’ve left recently?"

Lin Yan pondered and said, "That makes sense. You’re fast on your feet, quick to run, so the Judge would command you to do tasks... But since they only treat you as a messenger boy, it’s unlikely they’d come to the Rapid News Agency to see you every time, most likely they wanted you to go see them."

"How do you know?"
