Multi-Gene

David's expression darkened. The old man turned out to be evil.

"Don't worry, this will all be over soon, do not resist." As soon as the old man said those words, a large skull appeared out of thin air, spewing out a large amount of green smoke from its eyes nose and ears.

Kekeke!

A burst of sinister laughter escaped its lips and it pounced at the skull of one of the disciples. The disciples that had managed to enter through here were simple at all.

They were the top disciples amongst the various academies. The disciple slapped various talismans on his body, making various glowing shields appear around his body, covering him entirely like a bubble around him.

As he was about to sigh in relief, his eyes widened as he saw the large skull pass through the bubbles as though they were nothing but an illusion.

He felt a sense of grave danger and quickly attacked with his flying blade,but his flying blade also passed through the skull like a ghost.

"Ah!!!"

There wasn't enough time as the huge skull pounced on him, sucking every bit of his soul out from his body with a single inhale.

The green fire around the skull's body suddenly increased and burned even colder.

Kekekeke!

"Hehehe, my ghost servant is not that easy to deal with." The old man laughed with crazed filled eyes. 

"Run!"

It was unknown who shouted it, but everyone fled in all directions, hoping to get out of range with the ghost servant. 

But it was like a group of chickens fleeing from a wolf. One by one, screams of misery tore through the air and everyone would feel goosebumps, making them run even further with all their might.

But what was even more astonishing was that the more you run, the more you realise you are only running in circles!

The entire place was a huge formation! There was no way to flee! But sadly, before they noticed this, there were only five people left within the Starry space. 

"Ning Liang, I'm afraid this is where your corpse will remain. You never expected you would die at a place like this." Chu Taidou mocked the female disciple not too far from him. 

"Hehe, I could say the same to you, but seeing your arrogant attitude as the head disciple of Piercing Sky mountain, I'm guessing you have something to rely on." The young lady mocked back. 

"Naturally. If I don't have something up my sleeves, why would I have dared to enter this place anyways." Chu Taidou shrugged nonchalantly. 

"You should use whatever hidden method you have now before it gets too late." Ning Liang advised seemingly out of good intentions. 

"Hehe, you want me to use my trump card while you wouldn't have to use yours? I don't think so. Let's see who the ghost slave attacks first, then that would decide." Chu Taidau chuckled. 

"Fine!" Ning Liang snorted. She knew her trick had been seen through. 

The old man frowned when he heard their conversations. "What trump card are you two hiding."

"Old man, you wouldn't think your secret would remain hidden forever right?" The Four great academies have long since figured out your ulterior motives and probably sent these two people here to deal with you. 

David laughed in his seat. He had long since brought out a chair and a table from within his storage ring. Currently, he was crunching on some grade one herbs, the Pudberries. 

The old man's frown deepened. He was well aware that no secrets remain hidden forever, he just hadn't thought the day would come so quickly. Thankfully, after this possession, he should be able to cultivate the body to at least the heaven stage and should therefore be able to comprehend the heaven grade technique in this last attempt. 

Finally, after tens of thousands of years, he would be able to comprehend a heaven grade technique. Using the technique to pass through the world's boundary, he would then ascend to the Outworld and live amongst the beyonders. With the vast amount of resources within the Outward, he should be able to advance speedily over there. Becoming an Ancient would no longer be a pipe dream. 

But for now, he just needed to deal with the two brats the academies had sent to him. But first, he gazed at David weirdly. 

"Who was this kid?"

Likewise, the two individuals from the four great academies glanced at David with frowns on their faces. They had no idea how David had guessed their well thought out plan. 

David continued to munch on his pudberries ignoring the looks he was getting. "Continue what you were doing, don't let me stop you." he encouraged. 

Kekekeke! 

The ghost slaves suddenly appeared above David's head and inhaled with its nose and mouth, but David's figure faded away like smoke. It had been nothing but merely just an afterimage all along. 

David's figure had appeared elsewhere. "You won't be able to keep up with me old man."

The old man frowned. "Go."

The skull appeared from the void like a demon and appeared before David once more, inhaling. 

But there wasn't any difference, the result was still the same as his figure faded away like smoke.

"Old man, I told you already, you wouldn't be able to keep up with my speed." David mocked. This time, he was on the seat he had left nor quite long ago, still munching on the plate of mudberries he had placed on the table.

The old man's expression darkened slightly. He didn't think there would be someone who was this troublesome to deal with. 

But he had real problems to face, he didn't want to expend his energy on someone whose speed was only fast and wasn't a threat at all.

Old man Ouyang Fen turned to face the male and the female disciples for the four Great academies. 

He had chosen the girl as his vessel. He had long since observed and had determined that the girl was with the highest body talent.. He had been a lady before, which was why it wouldn't be so weird for him.
