Everyone watched as Gu Wuji stood there calmly, looking completely relaxed.
Meanwhile, everyone around him knelt in fear, even the Bai family head was covered in cold sweat, seemingly deeply shocked.
The next instant, the previously arrogant Bai family head actually knelt and begged Gu Wuji to take him as a disciple.
This stunned not only those present but also those watching the live stream, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
“What’s going on?! This Gu Wuji isn’t just a high-level player, he’s even surpassed the strength of such a seasoned high-level player?!”
“I think I even heard something about a Ghost King-level ghost, this is too astonishing! I almost died when I encountered a mid-level ghost, what kind of terrifying existence is a Ghost King-level vengeful ghost?!”
“Damn, are there really such powerful figures in the world?!”
Clearly, this wasn’t a lapse in judgment on the part of the Bai family head; it was because Gu Wuji’s strength had exceeded his imagination. Combining the phrase “Ghost King-level Fiend,” everyone felt that if it were them, they would have immediately clung to Gu Wuji’s coattails. The Bai family head, an old monster who had lived for countless years, was certainly capable of both yielding and asserting himself.
But this also raised another question that everyone couldn’t help but ponder.
Gu Wuji had become so powerful in such a short time; no wonder he dared to appear so brazenly in the Bai family to cause trouble. Could he also be participating in the final instance?
No, could it be that— a thought, both unimaginable and perfectly fitting— was vaguely emerging in everyone’s minds?
Was Gu Wuji actually the first mysterious player to obtain the final instance qualification without revealing his identity?
Those who hadn’t chosen a side before were now restless. Although everyone thought the mysterious player was definitely strong, it was still difficult to act without knowing his identity. Now, all they lacked was the opportunity to confirm this.
….
Over there, everyone was stunned by the Bai family head’s words. What was a Ghost King-level ghost? Could a ghost of this level be kept inside a human body?!
Just who was this Gu Wuji?!
Gu Wuji quickly realized what was happening and said, “Well, actually, I’m not really sure how to do this either. You probably have more experience.”
After all, even these players probably didn’t have experience with carrying a Ghost King-level ghost since childhood.
“No!” The Bai family head was furious. “How can you belittle yourself when you have such a level of skill! This is not something an ordinary person can do!”
He already regarded Gu Wuji as a master in this field, and Gu Wuji must have gone through many unknown and horrific experiences to reach this level. He was definitely far behind.
Although the Bai family head was a very ruthless person, his obsession with raising ghosts had reached a fanatical level, which could even be said to be the pillar of his life. When he saw Gu Wuji, he was immediately filled with admiration and a feeling of regret for not having met him sooner.
As for the grudge of being beaten up by Gu Wuji who came to his house, of course, that could be ignored. It was an honor for such a big shot to come and beat him up! Moreover, it was their Bai family who provoked such a powerful figure first; the Bai family head shouldn’t even have time to apologize.
“Of course, I know you certainly don’t want to talk about this so easily, but my respect for you won’t disappear so easily!”
Gu Wuji was shocked. Why did the Bai family head have such a mysterious filter for him?
In fact, Gu Wuji, who seemed incredibly glamorous to others and constantly controlled vengeful ghosts to frighten others, wasn’t in a good situation now.
After all, those two terrifying ghosts weren’t under Gu Wuji’s control; their own power had subconsciously emerged, and Gu Wuji couldn’t take them back at all.
Although these two ghosts hadn’t harmed Gu Wuji, they were constantly absorbing his stamina… Gu Wuji was now at his last gasp, only able to maintain a calm appearance by constantly replenishing his health with his upgraded and stronger healing spell. As for anything else, it was simply impossible for him to do anything else.
Zhai Guangyu, standing beside him, was also dumbfounded. He had initially watched the Bai family head being brutally beaten by Gu Wuji, but this guy’s speed in clinging to his coattails was too fast! Even Zhai Guangyu, who had consistently opposed Gu Wuji and suffered many misfortunes as a result, felt a sense of imbalance.
“If I’m not mistaken, you’ve also obtained the qualification to participate in the final instance,” the Bai family head said again.
What ordinary players could think of, someone of his stature certainly wouldn’t be unaware of; in fact, he knew even more about other high-level players and couldn’t believe anyone could be stronger than Gu Wuji.
Gu Wuji, after all, was completely unaware of the situation, and even if he did know, he wouldn’t hide it. “Ah, indeed, how did you figure it out?”
Upon hearing this, everyone present went numb. Everything that had happened was too astonishing; they now only felt it was a matter of course that Gu Wuji was the mysterious player.
“It’s obvious without even thinking.” As soon as he finished speaking, the Bai family head seemed to have made up his mind immediately, directly opening the system and performing some unknown operation. Due to the system’s privacy settings, no one could see what he clicked; they could only guess based on experience.
Then, the system’s voice rang in the minds of all the players:
“[Player Bai Hong, who has obtained the qualification to participate in the final instance, has chosen to join the camp of the mysterious player whose identity has not been revealed.]” Players who were originally in Bai Hong’s camp immediately and automatically joined the mysterious player’s camp.
Everyone: “?”
The players watching the live stream were stunned. Even though the Bai family head had acted that way before, they thought he was flexible and adaptable, but now he had actually joined Gu Wuji’s camp!
However, many players watching the live stream actually made a similar choice to the Bai family head at the same time.
Gu Wuji suddenly heard the system notification that his camp had gained a certain number of people, and for a moment he didn’t quite understand.
Just then, a member of the Bai family burst through the door. His face filled with panic, he was so shocked by the pressure of the Ghost King-level ghost that he knelt on the ground the moment he entered, then, covered in cold sweat, he exclaimed, “Something’s wrong!!”
“What’s going on? Don’t interrupt my conversation with Master Gu.” The Bai family head was very displeased. He had just joined Gu Wuji’s camp, and now was the time to build a good relationship with him. How could his subordinate be so ignorant?
“Patriarch, the situation is dire.” Although he didn’t understand what was going on, he decided to share what he knew. “The Ning family has joined forces with several other family heads and they’ve already stormed in! They want to divide up our Bai family’s possessions!”
“What?” The Bai family head’s face darkened. It was well-known that the Bai family and the other families, or more accurately, the high-level players behind those families, had a long-standing feud. But he hadn’t expected these families to unite. If that was the case, even he… wait, the Bai family head’s eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Gu Wuji.
With Gu Wuji and those Ghost King-level vengeful spirits around, what was there to fear!
Gu Wuji: ???
….
The other families, preoccupied with attacking the Bai family, didn’t have time to watch the live stream; they were focused on causing trouble.
If they could have seen the live stream, they certainly wouldn’t have rushed in so rashly.
But how could they have imagined that missing a live stream meant missing a major spectacle?
The reason these families decided to act immediately was because they sensed the astonishing ghostly aura emanating from the Bai family. They certainly didn’t suspect Gu Wuji; they assumed the Bai family head had gained immense power after completing the dungeon and created some powerful ghost.
How could they allow such a thing to happen! The final dungeon was fast approaching, and if things continued like this, they would likely all perish inside— this was no ordinary dungeon.
Therefore, these former enemies had no choice but to unite and rush in to attack. To eliminate such a significant threat, they were willing to sacrifice a large number of their own families.
The mysterious thing was that the usually heavily guarded Bai family was now almost deserted, allowing them easy entry. Something was definitely wrong, that was the consensus among most.
Then, an astonishingly powerful aura surged forth, causing everyone to stop in their tracks, realizing a fierce battle was about to unfold.
Hidden behind the scenes, the high-level players from various powerful families frowned. This powerful aura even surpassed that of a high-level ghost. What had the Bai family patriarch encountered in the dungeon to acquire such strength?!
The moment the door opened, everyone’s gaze froze.
The figure emerging from the door was an extremely handsome young man. He walked with an air of leisure, yet gave off the feeling of walking a red carpet.
The Ning family members were particularly familiar with this young man’s appearance, after all, this was Gu Wuji, whom they had targeted before!
Behind him was Zhai Guangyu, who was supporting Gu Wuji with a smug look on his face. He hadn’t expected Gu Wuji to give him such a task. Perhaps this meant that Master Gu had already recognized him.
“What’s going on?! Did the Bai family just send out someone like this?”
“Isn’t this that celebrity? What’s he doing here?”
Various thoughts arose in everyone’s minds, but mainly they felt they couldn’t be bothered to fight someone like Gu Wuji. Wasn’t this just bullying the weak? What was the Bai family patriarch up to? Then, the Bai family head, looking as obedient as a lackey, appeared.
Behind the three of them, black mist and eerie, ominous shadows swirled. Everyone stared at the Bai family head in disbelief. “…”
What the hell was going on?! Why was the powerful Bai family head following Gu Wuji like he wanted to carry his shoes? What kind of development was this?
The Ning family members who had had contact with Gu Wuji felt it was surreal and unbelievable. Ning Yang was also stunned. Gu Wuji, whom they had been monitoring, actually possessed such strength? Had he missed something?
They all felt a sense of awe and bewilderment, unsure of what to do.
Only the few high-level players hidden in the shadows widened their eyes. With their strength, they couldn’t possibly be oblivious to the problem like ordinary subordinates.
“No—”
“That power doesn’t belong to Bai Hong!”
“The source of the Ghost King-level vengeful spirit is… Gu Wuji!”
