CHAPTER 1360: CHAPTER 598: SLAY! DEVOUR THE BLACK GHOST OLD DEMON!

The Black Ghost Old Demon’s tentacle was about to pierce into Lanling’s brain, devouring his brain matter.

Brain matter is the most delicious. Throughout countless years, the Black Ghost Old Demon has devoured numerous brains and never tires of it, it is the ultimate delicacy.

Moreover, you are what you eat.

At that moment, an incredibly eerie sound suddenly emerged from Lanling’s mouth.

An overwhelming sound, yet extremely cold.

"Octopus, what are you doing?"

This was the voice of the Ghost King, once the absolute ruler over one-third of the Southern Barbaric Lands.

Also the absolute master of the Black Ghost Old Demon.

Initially, the Black Ghost Old Demon was merely an ordinary Demon Blood octopus in the sea, it was the Ghost King that bestowed it with energy and wisdom.

The Black Ghost Old Demon harbored supreme fear towards this master.

Upon hearing this voice, the Black Ghost Old Demon shivered violently, all its tentacles instinctively retracted.

This was a conditioned reflex formed through countless instances.

Whenever the Ghost King appeared, all its tentacles would cluster together, assuming the most humble posture.

In an instant, Lanling and Khan Xie Li were completely freed.

The enormous centaur Khan was extremely furious, he had been captured by the Black Ghost Old Demon almost immediately upon entering the demonic cave.

The illusion he witnessed was even simpler, his son Xie Li II lay dead on the ground, and without hesitation, he rushed over, reaching out to check his son’s breath and heartbeat, only to be immediately entangled by the Black Ghost Old Demon’s tentacle, his entire body thoroughly controlled, unable to move.

"Dare to deceive me, I’ll tear you to pieces..." Khan Xie Li charged forward furiously, wielding his massive sword.

On the massive head of the Black Ghost Old Demon, there were countless eyes, one of which fixed upon the centaur Khan Xie Li.

Instantly, the powerful Khan Xie Li fell into an illusion once more.

He frantically wielded his massive sword, battling with the air.

The Black Ghost Old Demon’s spiritual power attack was truly extraordinary.

"Who exactly are you? How can you produce the voice of the Ghost King, Your Majesty?" the Black Ghost Old Demon asked Lanling.

Lanling extended his right hand, and a green flame immediately appeared.

This was the flame of the Ghost King!

The Black Ghost Old Demon detected a very familiar scent, the scent of the Ghost King’s energy.

Although much weaker than the former Ghost King, this was undoubtedly the energy of the Ghost King.

The energy of the Ghost King, Your Majesty, is unique, as its energy originated from hell.

As Lanling had absorbed the energy from the Eye of the Ghost King, he could naturally release the pure flame of the Ghost King.

"Who do you think I am?" Lanling said coldly, "You’ve been free and unfettered for these thousands of years, it’s time to return to my command."

The Black Ghost Old Demon stared at Lanling in disbelief, "You, you are the reincarnation of the Ghost King, Your Majesty? You, you weren’t supposed to be dead?"

Then, the Black Ghost Old Demon shrieked, "No, I don’t believe it! The Ghost King, Your Majesty, was just a specter, he couldn’t possibly reincarnate, so you must be fake!"

Lanling coldly stared at the Black Ghost Old Demon...

Then, his eyes began to change, transforming from ordinary eyes into two blazing green flames.

The Black Ghost Old Demon was all too familiar with these eyes, every time it was stared down by these Eyes of the Ghost King, it would be horrified, filled with endless fear.

These are the Eyes of the Ghost King, impossible for anyone to imitate, impossible for anyone to replicate.

Because the Black Ghost Old Demon could sensitively detect all energy properties of these Eyes of the Ghost King.

The Black Ghost Old Demon trembled and said, "You claim to be the reincarnation of the Ghost King, Your Majesty, then tell me, how did the Ghost King, Your Majesty, die? Only the two of us knew about this, so if you can tell, how did you die? Then I will believe you!"

The words of the Black Ghost Old Demon brought Lanling great surprise!

Because these words revealed many secrets.

The death of the Ghost King, Your Majesty, was certainly a top secret to the world.

The only two who knew about it were the Ghost King and the Black Ghost Old Demon.

This was not because the Black Ghost Old Demon was the most trustworthy, but because its brain was the most developed, with the strongest memory and spiritual power.

After the Ghost King saw something on the moon, it was immediately targeted by an incomparably powerful force, knowing its inevitable doom, it transferred many memories into the Black Ghost Old Demon, so that something would remain after its death.

And the martial arts of the Black Ghost Old Demon weren’t particularly high, but it managed to escape, precisely because of this reason.

The cunning Lanling instantly gleaned much information from a brief statement.

At once, he decided to take a risk within his original plan.

The Black Ghost Old Demon said, "Speak then, how did the Ghost King, Your Majesty, die? If you know, I will believe you are the reincarnation of the Ghost King, Your Majesty."

Lanling said, "The things on the moon killed me!"

The moment this answer came out, the dozens of eyes of the Black Ghost Old Demon widened in astonishment.

Indeed, this was the answer.

The death of the Ghost King, Your Majesty, was known only to it and the Ghost King, Your Majesty. If this person from the Near-Human Tribe could give the correct answer, then wouldn’t he be... the reincarnation of the Ghost King, Your Majesty?

Instantly, the dozens of eyes of the Black Ghost Old Demon gazed at Lanling with immense complexity, and after a long time, all its tentacles bent down, trembling as it said, "Your servant Black Ghost greets Your Majesty!"

Lanling said coldly, "What about the things I entrusted to you? You need to return them to me now."

Saying this was extremely risky because the Ghost King might not have entrusted the Black Ghost Old Demon with anything to keep.

"Yes!" said the Black Ghost Old Demon.

Then it gradually sank into the deep water, disappearing without a trace.
