The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 464: He Has Arrived

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: He Has Arrived

The events occurring within the Ghost Realm were wholly unknown to the outside world.

Initially, the audience could still see the Ghost Realm through the live stream, and they even thought there was no difference between the Ghost Realm and reality.

Until Lucas Jennings accidentally exposed the identity of the Living Soul, causing changes in the Ghost Realm and leading to the complete cessation of the live stream signal.

And at this moment, only three minutes have passed since the signal interruption.

Due to the time flow in the Ghost Realm being different from reality, no one had even realized the disappearance of the players.

When Samuel Chalmers arrived at Cloud Sea Park, he could still see people walking their dogs around the park square.

But among these people, there was no Scarlett Jennings.

Samuel Chalmers sensed the last place where Scarlett’s aura disappeared, and after a long while, he gently uttered three words.

"It’s the Ghost Realm?"

...

Within the Ghost Realm, Scarlett Jennings ignored the brain-dead player still trying to kill her across from her and spoke to Gregory Xander,

"To leave the Ghost Realm, we must find the main body of that shadow we saw earlier. I roughly know its location. Once I find its body, if the Ghost Realm shows any signs of a gap or weakening, you must immediately take all the players and leave."

Upon hearing this, Gregory Xander frowned,

"I’ll go with you."

"Can’t you see?"

Scarlett Jennings said, "Its target is me, so this is between me and it. Don’t any of you get involved."

As she spoke, regardless of Gregory Xander’s agreement, she shoved a few Formation Breaking Talismans into his hand, then turned to find the shadow’s main body.

Across the way, a player with sharp eyes saw her leave and immediately changed their expression,

"She’s trying to escape!"

Immediately, several people rushed straight toward Scarlett’s direction, "You’re not allowed to leave!"

Scarlett Jennings swept her cold gaze over them, raised her hand, and shot a few Yellow Talismans directly towards them, sticking right in front of them.

"Scram."

Accompanied by her shout to scram, those running forward almost simultaneously twisted and tumbled, rolling to the ground.

Everyone: ???

Before they could react to what was happening, Scarlett Jennings had already rapidly vanished into the darkness surrounding the Ghost Realm.

She forged her path using the Golden Light from Liora Gold’s body, following a certain direction, and before long, a small black shadow seemed to appear in front of her.

That shadow looked like a rat but was obviously larger than ordinary rats, about the size of a cat.

Scarlett Jennings chased the giant rat all the way to a dry Lakeheart.

There, she saw hundreds of small mounds piled up, big and small.

The mounds were neatly arranged, at first glance resembling abandoned graves.

At some point, the figure of the giant rat had disappeared, and Scarlett Jennings paid it no mind, following the direction of the mounds, reaching the smallest mound at the center.

In front of that solitary mound, she saw it quietly lying there—a somewhat familiar red skull.

Its color was deeper and more intense than she had ever seen before.

The skull was enveloped by dense Resentful Aura, its empty eyes staring at her, seemingly lamenting a grievance that spanned millennia.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but frown deeply.

This wasn’t the first red resentful bone she had encountered.

Resentful bones, formed from the condensation of Heaven and Earth’s Resentful Energy, were rare, yet three had appeared in Sea City in such a short time.

There was clearly someone deliberately orchestrating this.

Someone was using these resentful bones to prepare some massive conspiracy.

As she thought of this, Scarlett Jennings could hardly hesitate, raising the Peach Wood Sword in her hand, aiming it at the red resentful bone before her.

"Heavenly and Earthly Peace, Heaven and Earth’s Essence... I now summon, gods of the Three Realms..."

As Scarlett Jennings chanted the spell incantation line by line, the runes engraved on the Peach Wood Sword seemed to resonate, slowly revealing spiritual light.

Simultaneously, the Resentful Aura surrounding the resentful bone, feeling threatened, began to rush toward Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett Jennings formed a mantra with one hand, using her spiritual light to protect her body, continuing to chant the incantation,

"I now chant the spell, repel spirits for eternal life, bring forth the decree, all evils retreat!"

With the final incantation, Scarlett Jennings wielded the Peach Wood Sword, swinging it toward the red skull.

The Peach Wood Sword erupted with spiritual radiance, accompanied by threads of Golden Light, instantly slashing through the Resentful Aura surrounding the resentful bone.

However, just as the Peach Wood Sword was about to contact the main body of the resentful bone, it was entangled by a wisp of indistinct purple aura from within the bone.

Scarlett Jennings was taken aback.

Purple aura...

And it was the Empirical purple aura of an emperor.

Just who was the master of this resentful bone?

In that moment of distraction, the Resentful Aura that rapidly gathered around the Ghost Realm surged towards Scarlett Jennings, almost engulfing her.

Scarlett Jennings hurriedly channeled her Spiritual Power to resist, but her spiritual light was instantly breached by the ferocious aura.

Watching the black aura surge straight towards her like it had found a breakthrough point.

Scarlett Jennings gritted her teeth, preparing to act, when suddenly, a little golden figure flew from her bosom, heading straight for the surging ferocious aura.

"Liora Gold!"

Scarlett Jennings exclaimed in surprise, but the little paperman didn’t look back, charging head-on with fierce determination.

The small figure forcibly blocked all the aura rushing towards Scarlett, absorbing it into its own Golden Light.

Scarlett watched as the golden light surrounding the little paperman rapidly diminished under the clash with the aura, turning bit by bit to black.

In the end, all the Golden Light dimmed, leaving Liora Gold charred black, like a piece of burned-out paper ash, gently drifting to her feet.

Scarlett Jennings’ eyes trembled vehemently, a surge of unspoken sadness swelling in her chest.

Unexpectedly, her entire being seemed to be pulled into another Mirage Realm.

...

Before her was an ancient, mottled city wall.

She stood alone before the city gate, her body stained with splotches of blood.

Outside the city lay a field of corpses and chaos; she, leading a thousand elite soldiers, had protected her people from tens of thousands of foreign foes.

Scarlett Jennings heard the citizens within the city cheering and supporting her.

"Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!"

Everyone was immersed in gratitude towards her.

However, the scene shifted; within the city, a plague was rampant, and the infected became crazed, biting anyone they saw, gnawing at the flesh of family members around them.

She stood before the erected inner walls, with citizens kneeling before her, crying out to her,

"Princess, please offer your flesh!"

"Only the Princess’s flesh can save us from infection; we don’t want to die!"

"Princess, please save us!"

Then, the swarming citizens surged towards her, her remaining guards trampled to death protecting her, and she was captured by the frenzied citizens.

They feasted on her flesh, boiled her bones.

The large pot at the city gate was filled with her grievances.

Why, when I protected my people with my flesh and blood from danger, did they maliciously consume me because of an unfounded rumor?

Why, when you clearly meant to help everyone escape, did they want your life because of my words?

Humanity, how despicable.

Perhaps it’s not worth saving.

"Perhaps it’s not worth saving..."

Scarlett Jennings murmured, seemingly seeing those players scold her as useless, asking why she wouldn’t just die.

And as if seeing Emma White and Timothy Garrison, glaring at her resentfully, accusing her of not obediently dying.

Scarlett Jennings was mired in the chaotic mirage, attempting to struggle, but the aura was pulling her even more forcefully.

The black aura relentlessly dragged her towards an abyss of eternal darkness.

Stop struggling.

In Scarlett Jennings’ mind, a voice seemed to repeatedly whisper, her remaining rationality seemingly being eroded bit by bit by that voice.

No.

She had to go back.

This wasn’t her!

Just then, a thread of Golden Light penetrated from the darkness before her.

Scarlett Jennings suddenly looked towards that familiar Golden Light, instinctively calling out a name,

"Samuel Chalmers..."

In the next instant, the darkness before her seemed to be torn open by someone.

Endless Golden Light poured in, instantly filling her gaze.

Within that Golden Light, a familiar figure appeared, slowly walking toward her.
