Chapter 590 How Strong the Ghost Will be

What the people of the Ghost Sect have done is so shocking.

They just act with utter disregard for human life.

It seems that others’ lives are nothing to them.

At the thought of it, Gao Ge is shivering with rage.

He wishes that he could find the headquarters of the Ghost Sect and eradicate them with his Flying Star Sword.

Of course, he is not that strong.

Besides, the fox spirit once told him that the Ghost Sect’s sand forts couldn’t be underestimated.

“Currently, the priority is to find the matrix of the ghost worms. As long as the matrix is found and destroyed, the problem in Qiu City will be solved,” Tang Jiusi speaks.

Gao Ge surely knows what Tang Jiusi just said.

However, judging from Tang Jiusi’s worried face, Gao Ge realizes that it is not an easy thing to find the matrix of the ghost worms.

At least, the Dragon Court hasn’t achieved any breakthrough by now.

Yet, it is a good thing to find a breakthrough point.

It is better than thinking through nothing and being stuck in a rut.

After seeing off Tang Jiusi, Gao Ge stands outside the window, watching the darkness with a frown.

“The matrix...”

Mumbling, Gao Ge scratches his hair.

He has no clue at all...

The next day, Tang Jiusi returns to the temporary stronghold of the Dragon Court in Qiu City.

“You’ve told Gao Ge?” Water Dragon asks Tang Jiusi with a grin.

Tang Jiusi nods his head and feels a bit confused, “Lord Water Dragon, how did you know that Gao Ge would show concern about this matter?”

When he went back yesterday, Water Dragon found him specially and assigned a task to him.

Actually, the task was quite simple.

He was required to disclose to Gao Ge the current progress that the Dragon Court made.

Actually, Tang Jiusi was unhappy with the task so without hesitation, he directly rejected it. Obviously, he didn’t want to become a tool of the Dragon Court to manipulate Gao Ge.

Nevertheless, afterwards, Water Dragon added another reason that made Tang Jiusi agree to accept the task.

Water Dragon told Tang Jiusi that he could sound Gao Ge out first to see whether Gao Ge cared about the plague in Qiu City. If he cared about it, then Tang Jiusi would disclose the information to him; if he didn’t seem interested at all, Tang Jiusi wouldn’t need to mention it then.

Tang Jiusi thought about it and felt that it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Gao Ge, so he didn’t feel any mental stress about that.

Since Gao Ge wanted to know, then Tang Jiusi would do him a favor indirectly instead of hurting him by telling him the information.

Why not?

“How is it going on with Gao Ge’s investigation?” Water Dragon asks.

Tang Jiusi thinks about it and says, “Actually, the information he has gained is not much less than ours.”

“Oh?” Water Dragon is a bit amazed, “Someone helped him?”

“I guess not.” Tang Jiusi is very precise with spoken words, “I guess not” and “no” are different concepts.

Water Dragon slightly nods her head.

She sits down with a grin and takes a mouthful of water before saying, “It seems that this guy is not idling around at all. If he can acquire the information alone, he may as well work for the Intelligence Department of the Dragon Court.”

Tang Jiusi is amused, saying, “If he really works for the Intelligence Department, I’m afraid that it will be a waste of his talent.”

Water Dragon thinks about it and finds that Tang Jiusi’s words make sense.

“End of the conversation. Go back to your business then.”

“Okay.” Tang Jiusi is about to leave when something occurs to him. He can’t help stopping and then turns around to stare at Water Dragon with a complicated look. He seems to have something to say but he doesn’t know whether he should say it.

Water Dragon glimpses him.

Although Tang Jiusi hasn’t said anything, Water Dragon can guess what he is struggling with from his facial expression.

Having put down the glass slightly, she says calmly, “Meng Jing’s matter is the classified information of the Dragon Court. Not only you but also I don’t know much about it. Actually, the less we know, the safer Meng Jing will be. Understand?”

Tang Jiusi takes a deep breath and nods his head, “I see. Lord Water Dragon, I shall get going now.”

“Go ahead.”

Seeing Tang Jiusi leave, Water Dragon heaves a sigh.

She feels that Gao Ge is really competent.

It seems that most of the people who have dealt with Gao Ge are inclined to befriend him sincerely.

This is not what an ordinary man can do.

“Master Wen is awake!” A member of the Dragon Court suddenly shouts, interrupting Water Dragon’s musings.

She stands up and walks into the room. When she sees Master Wen, the man whose face is ghastly pale, she hastens to trot forward.

“How are you feeling?”

Master Wen takes a look at her and opens his mouth but he passes out again before making a sound.

“It seems that he is still very critically injured. The medicine delivered from the Dragon Court can’t work now,” Water Dragon says in a deep voice.

There are a lot of masters in the Dragon Court and some drugs have been developed to deal with the ghost worms, which can effectively restrain the ghost worms from devouring the soul, but Master Wen’s condition is too critical. Although he has taken plenty of valuable medicine, by now the medicine still fails to work well, which can only prolong his life temporarily. Worse still, the effect won’t last long.

If the matrix of the ghost worms can’t be found and destroyed within a short period of time, Master Wen may die.

For now, the only hope is to find the matrix as soon as possible...

At the moment, Fire Dragon also rushes back.

He doesn’t look well.

Behind Fire Dragon are three members of the Dragon Court, who have wandered outside throughout the whole night. However, after one night’s hard work, they still harvested nothing.

Although Fire Dragon and the others haven’t said anything, it can be seen from their mental state.

The members of the Dragon Court in Qiu City have realized that this is a thorny problem for them.

“No information from the Dragon Court?” Fire Dragon asks while gulping down the water.

“Nothing for now,” Water Dragon answers.

“Alas... It seems that we have to count on ourselves.” Fire Dragon flies into a rage, “Crap. Those beasts of the Ghost Sect had better not be found by me. As long as I see them, I must kill them all!”

He yells in a murderous voice.

Not only Fire Dragon feels this way.

So do all the present members of the Dragon Court.

These days, they have seen too many people parted in life and separated by death.

Faced with the casualties, they can’t do anything about it. The casualties’ families are crying sorrowfully. Fortunately, with the medicine for the ghost worms, the condition is finally under control.

However, too many people have died during the process.

If cursing could really kill a person, the people of the Ghost Sect might have been rotten.

“If we really find the matrix, how strong the ghost that it feeds will be?” Touching his chin, Fire Dragon says. However, he doesn’t get any reply. Instead, a lot of people are lost in thought...
