The Soul Beast wasn’t roused by the Ghost King’s aura.
Rather, the White Bone Ghost King detected the Soul Beast’s presence with a glance, startling it awake from its deep slumber.
"Could it be that the Six Paths Demon Consort targeted me because of the Soul Beast?"
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes faintly, dimly realizing the reason the Six Paths Demon Consort had dragged him into the White Bone Demon Palace.
She had earlier expressed interest in something he possessed.
That something was undoubtedly the Soul Beast.
Lately, the Soul Beast had swallowed two Fourth Rank Ghost Kings from the Myriad Demon Abyss, and while dormant, it was cloaked in ghostly energy—probably noticed by the Six Paths Demon Consort, who practices Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique, suspecting it to be a priceless treasure.
For a Demon Path Nascent Soul cultivator, it was completely natural to desire the fortunes on his body and attempt to claim them.
"In that case, let’s take action now; if we delay further, we won’t know what situation might arise."
Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart, aware that Shen Baishuang wouldn’t endure much longer against the oppression from the Six Paths Demon Consort and the White Bone Ghost King.
Should she falter completely and suffer total defeat, he would need to unleash his real strength or deploy the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror along with the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Given the circumstances, it was wiser to deploy the Soul Beast immediately and swiftly deal with both the Ghost King and the White Bone Ghost King.
"Damn it, encountering this woman is my bad luck!"
Lu Changsheng had already branded Shen Baishuang as foolish, resolving to keep his distance from her in the future whenever possible.
Lest endless troubles emerge—who could predict them?
With a gentle pat, the Soul Beast emerged from the Spiritual Pet Bag.
Upon waking, the Soul Beast ought to have advanced straight to Fourth Rank, yet the disturbance left it irritated.
Moreover, having already devoured two Fourth Rank Ghost Kings, it now faced provocation from just one such entity.
"Soul Beast!"
Lu Changsheng directed the Soul Beast to assault the Ghost King in front of them.
Without delay, the Soul Beast snorted powerfully from its wide nostrils, unleashing a massive pale-yellow mist resembling a boundless sea that enveloped the Ghost King pinned by the Puppet Battle Array, poised to devour it whole.
The moment the Soul Capturing Divine Light manifested, the White Bone Ghost King and the Six Paths Demon Consort, practitioner of Ghost Dao Cultivation Technique, sensed it at once.
"What is this?"
A subtle shift appeared on the Six Paths Demon Consort’s face as she witnessed this, grasping that her Ghost King was in peril.
The very next instant, the Ghost King let out a mournful cry.
Its enormous form was yanked right before the Soul Beast, writhing in frantic resistance while begging for aid from the Six Paths Demon Consort.
Neither the Six Paths Demon Consort nor the White Bone Ghost King wasted a second, diverting their attention promptly to Lu Changsheng and the Soul Beast.
"Roar!!!"
The diminutive Soul Beast, merely inches in height, abruptly swelled to several yards tall, morphing into a savage, horrifying black-faced fanged Demon Ape; a captivating blood-red demon eye materialized at the center of its forehead, radiating crimson light that fixed upon the Ghost King ahead, instantly consuming half of its frame.
"Stop!"
Shock and fury twisted the Six Paths Demon Consort’s features beyond measure.
She had invested countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, plus vast time and labor, to raise this Fourth Rank Ghost King.
But the Soul Beast, now shifted into a Punishment Beast, ignored her restraints entirely and gobbled down the remainder of the Ghost King’s body.
"What is... this...?"
Shen Baishuang stood dumbfounded by the sight, her face blank with astonishment.
Really?
You possess other trump cards?
With such a card up your sleeve, why deploy it just now!
Yet in that instant, Shen Baishuang had no leisure to ponder, her thoughts surging with abrupt delight.
Scarlet Long Silk ribbons nearby soared forth like a celestial veil, working to barricade the White Bone Ghost King, as she herself lunged at the Six Paths Demon Consort to block any assault on Lu Changsheng and the Soul Beast.
Within mere breaths, the colossal Ghost King’s form vanished entirely into the Soul Beast’s maw.
"Get out of the way!"
By now, the Six Paths Demon Consort shed her earlier poise and elegance; rage paled her visage as she savagely struck at Shen Baishuang before charging fiercely toward the Soul Beast to save her Ghost King.
She sensed all too clearly her Ghost King’s Qi Mechanism fading swiftly; without swift rescue, it would perish for good.
