Chapter 5982
Mingli’s face filled with embarrassment and shame. “Yes… At the time, the clan was critically short on resources. Repairing the Gate of Reincarnation required an enormous amount of soul power. And once our presence was exposed in the Thirteenth Heaven, it would have been impossible for me to remain there.”
“The Twelve Heavens are a lower realm, where the Heavenly Dao’s surveillance is weaker. The highest cultivators there can’t even reach the Immortal Realm. With my strength—and the power of the Gate of Reincarnation—I could operate in secret.”
“My original plan was to use immortality and blessings as bait, luring cultivators to voluntarily offer their soul power, or to collect the souls of those who died in battle. Once I gathered enough energy to repair the Gate, I would return quietly, without causing too much disturbance.”
“As for Zhan Xie and Blood Nether, they were nothing more than pawns driven by greed. I used them, and they were willing to be used.”
Mingli looked at Chen Ping and gave a bitter smile. “I just didn’t expect… to run into you, Mr. Chen—and the one behind you… Mr. Shi.”
Chen Ping fell silent.
He could understand Mingli and the Ghost Clan’s predicament. Sometimes, survival and revival demanded extreme measures.
