Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1218 The Strongest Ghost Tamer

"Om-!"

A soft hum emanated from the space, like ripples spreading across a calm lake after a pebble has been thrown in.

The next moment, Ye Ge, Ye Bing, Ao Sheng... along with Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bing Xin, Black Dragon King Gul'sath, and Giant Father Tar, appeared out of thin air above the now-ruined Evil Nether City!

The group was suspended in the air, positioned directly in front of Sima Qing and Karl!

Karl glanced at the suddenly arriving Night Song, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bingxin, and the four powerful figures from the myriad races.

This looks like things are getting really complicated...

“Karl, and... the president of the Light Alliance.”

Black Dragon King Gul'thas crossed his arms, his massive black dragon wings flapping slowly, creating a low, oppressive wind. His icy dragon eyes, like two sharp blades, were fixed on the two men: "Hmph, so it was your gene company that was behind this."

Although the Crimson Dragon King Ao Sheng and the Giant Father Tar did not speak, their gazes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation yet as heavy as mountains, also carried a suffocating sense of oppression, enveloping Sima Qing and Karl from above.

The auras emanating from the four supreme experts intertwined, forming a terrifying pressure that almost solidified into reality!

Sima Qing and Karl were alright, but the dozen or so elite employees of the gene company behind them were already kneeling on the ground, unable to move, trembling, and even the unpleasant smell of urine was faintly spreading in the air...

Sima Qing looked at Ye Ge in silence.

“You tricked me again. I never thought you’d dare to fight me head-on in a mental battle within Qiongqi’s illusionary world,” he said. “Do you know that if you lose, your soul will be scattered? You madman…”

Night Song hovered in mid-air: "Actually, it's not that I'm crazy, it's just part of my calculations."

“Such a wide-ranging illusion must have consumed a lot of your mental energy. More importantly, I burned away most of your soul. If your soul hadn’t been damaged, I wouldn’t have done this.”

Sima Qing: "So you also anticipated that the sneak attack with that Holy Spirit True Fire wouldn't completely kill me?"

“Killing you would be best, but if I can’t kill you, I’ll at least severely injure you,” Ye Ge said. “That’s why, just to be on the safe side, I brought Old Deng and the others along. After severely injuring you, I’m confident I can find your true form through the illusion world. Even if I lose in the end in a battle of mental strength, I’ll at least be able to take you down with me in the illusion world.”

Sima Qing: "......"

“I know you’re someone who values ​​your life a lot. You’ve painstakingly built up your gene company for so long, and it’s not easy for you to gain such power, wealth, and achievements in this world. You certainly won’t be willing to just die with me like this.”

Ye Ge smiled and said, "So if it really comes to that, you will definitely take the initiative to dispel the illusion in order to avoid me, this 'madman'."

"..."

Sima Qing fell into a long silence.

Night Song is right.

If it really comes to that, he will indeed make that choice...

"Now that things have come to this, are you still planning to continue showing yourself in this false form of transformation?" Ye Ge smiled enigmatically. "Instead of waiting for me to expose you in front of everyone, why don't you reveal your true colors yourself? What do you say?"

Sima Qing snorted lightly, then raised his hand and waved it lightly in front of him, revealing his true appearance—a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties.

Ye Bing's eyes flickered slightly when she saw Sima Qing's true appearance.

Clearly, this was the first time she had learned the chairman's true identity!

The rest of the myriad races were all stunned when they saw Sima Qing reveal his true face. Then, whispers began to rise from the crowd, and the discussions spread like a tide.

"This person looks so familiar..."

"Why does it feel like I've seen this somewhere before?"

"..."

Ao Sheng scrutinized Sima Qing's appearance for a long time before finally saying, "You are... Sima Qing??"

After Ao Sheng pointed it out, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Some were stunned, some were terrified, and some were surprised.

"Sima Qing???"

"Isn't that the descendant of the Taotie tribe who launched the war against the ferocious beasts more than a hundred years ago???"

"That legendary Ghost Master who was once the strongest among all races..."

"Holy crap!? He's the same person as the chairman of the gene company?!"

An unbelievable uproar erupted.

No one could have imagined that the person who launched the Beast Wars back then was the same person as the chairman of the gene company who stopped the Beast Wars.

Listening to the discussions among the various races, Ye Ge learned that Sima Qing once held the title of "Number One Ghost Master of All Races".

But it seems so, since the class he played as a player in his previous life was Ghost Tamer.

Upon seeing Sima Qing, many members of the myriad races showed expressions of vigilance and fear, clearly indicating that the war against the ferocious beasts had left a deep impression on them.

After all, in that war, the army composed of the descendants of the ferocious beast race was unstoppable. They marched north from the southern continent and flattened at least thousands of cities and hundreds of races and countries. Even the demon race had to give them a wide berth!

Listening to the chattering of the various races, Jiang Xiaoming couldn't help but ask the person next to him, "So, um... who exactly is Sima Qing?"

Bai Qing's expression was solemn. As a high-level Ghost Master herself, she naturally knew Sima Qing's reputation: "He was a man once known as the God of Ghost Masters... It is said that back then, he could control more than a dozen eleventh-level ghost gods by himself, and he was also the only being in history who could summon and control twelfth-level ghost gods..."

During the Southern War of the Human Race, Wang En almost changed the course of the war simply by summoning a ninth-tier ghost god, Chestnut Fang!

You can imagine how terrifying a twelfth-tier ghost or god is!

"Everyone thought he was dead back then, that he had become nothing more than a figure in history books." Bai Qing's expression was complicated. "I never expected he'd still be alive..."

Duke Fenrir the werewolf said leisurely, "The guy who launched the War of the Beasts and turned the map of all races into a bloodbath has actually become the president of the Light Alliance, and he hasn't been discovered for so many years. It's really ironic."

Black Dragon King Gul'thas slowly turned his head to look at Bingxin and said coldly, "Enforcer Bingxin, this matter should be within your jurisdiction, shouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Bing Xin remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward from the crowd and hovered in front. She radiated a chilling divine aura, her gaze like a sword of judgment, pointing directly at Sima Qing:

"Sima Qing! As the president of the Light Alliance, you are blessed by the gods and bear the responsibility of maintaining peace among all races. Yet you deliberately created such a large-scale illusion and even released the ferocious beast Qiongqi, which was sealed by the Supreme God, intending to once again provoke turmoil among all races. Your intentions are despicable! In the name of the Grand Enforcer of the Light Alliance, I hereby formally arrest you! I order you to immediately submit to the law and return with me to the Temple of the Gods to be judged by the gods!"

Sima Qing slightly raised his head, glanced at her indifferently, and then slowly swept his gaze over the myriad races surrounding him: "Submit to the law?"

"Snapped!"

He clasped his hands together, and a powerful killing intent gathered around him!

Ye Ge's eyes flickered slightly.

Even with half its soul burned away, it could still muster such immense malevolent power...

Logically speaking, given how badly his soul was damaged, he should no longer be able to summon ghosts or spirits.

Sima Qing clasped his hands together and quietly crushed a piece of red jade in the center of his palm.

Strands of pure blood energy surged wildly into his body through his palm...

"Awaken the Undead—"

"Twelfth-Rank Ghost God - Taotie!"
