Cursed Immortality

Chapter 929: Playing the Saint!

”What if I say your brother is already dead?”

The moment Jacob said those words, he instantly felt a terrifying killing intent locked on him for a split moment, but the soul sense of the Soul Ghost King had already started to stir as her shadowy ghost figure flickered.

”Are you picking a fight?” The Soul Ghost King icily questioned as her two eyes started to swirl like a vortex.

Jacob was secretly astounded, ʼSheʼs probably as strong as the Soulless Ghost King, but then why she remained in the Ghost Domain all this time?ʼ

”I have no such intention.” He impassively stated, ”But while I was away this time, I happened to see Black King, Shadowless King, Blood Moon King with the Spirit Poison King; they seemed to be colluding.

”And since they failed to get their hands on the Myriad Galaxy King in the Myriad Galaxy City, they are going after Drunkard Ghost King since he found his soul totem sigilʼs traces.

”However, we both know their first target should be Drunkard Ghost King, not the Myriad Galaxy King since there is a chance that the former had already gotten the throne of death, and he only shifted the blame to buy himself enough time to control the Throne of Death.

”Thatʼs why there is a high chance they either already dealt with Blackwell or captured him. After all, even I can only flee if those four attack me together, much less Blackwell, who didnʼt have the Ghost King Scepter.”

The Soul Ghost Kingʼs shadowy figure seemed to tremble as her aura spiked and her killing intent raged. With her intelligence, she knew Jacobʼs words werenʼt without merit, and if those four were really colluding together, and if they had found Blackwell, there were very slim chances of him fleeing.

”Let me use the Royal Ghost Seal!” She coldly said in an overbearing manner, and from her tone, it was clearly not a request. In fact, Jacob could tell the Soul Ghost King was ready to attack if he didnʼt comply.

But the thing was, Jacob had no idea what this Royal Ghost Seal was since he had no memories of it; not even Blackwellʼs memories contained anything about it.

Although Jacob got all the Soulless Ghost Kingʼs wealth, there is also a treasure vault in the palace, which can only be opened by the Ghost King Scepter. This treasure vault contained many treasures accumulated by the Ghost Race for generations.

This treasure vault was one of the things Jacob wanted for himself. But he didnʼt know if this Royal Ghost Seal was among other treasures in Soulless Ghost Kingʼs space ring or in this vault. Neither did he make the Soul Ghost King suspicious by appearing ignorant.

However, from the Soul Ghost Kingʼs words, he could tell that this Royal Ghost Seal was in possession of the Soulless Ghost King.

Jacob released the Soulless Ghost Kingʼs soul sense as he uttered, his words were laced with overbearing chillness and faint killing intent, ”I wonʼt be disrespectful by the likes of you, woman! Know your place!”

Sensing the wrath of Soulless Ghost King, the Throne of the Soulless releases a terrifying regal might, amplifying his power even further, and the Soul Ghost Kingʼs soul sense is completely suppressed.

Jacob was secretly startled before realization dawned on him because he finally understood why the Soulless Ghost King could stay at the top despite the Soul Ghost Kingʼs prowess.

It wasnʼt like the Soul Ghost King was weak; it was just that in the Soulless Palace, the Soulless Ghost King had an overwhelming advantage.

Furthermore, the Soulless Ghost King was arrogant and looked down on others, including the Soul Ghost King, so if he tackled the Soul Ghost King like this, she would probably become even more suspicious.

The Soul Ghost Kingʼs figure trembled as she seemed to snap out of her momentarily rage, but a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes as she knew she couldnʼt win against Soulless Ghost King as long as he was in the Ghost Domain.

Helpless, her tone softened a little as she said, ”Forgive me, my king, I was muddled for a moment. But I require the Royal Ghost Seal to see if my brother is alive or not. If you grant me this request, Iʼll bear your heir!”

Now it was Jacobʼs turn to shock with this unexpected response, but he didnʼt show it. Nonetheless, he was still unable to respond to her words. After all, the Soulless Ghost King and Soul Ghost King were husband and wife for a long time, but from her words, it seemed something was quite wrong.

Jacob was somewhat frustrated by those missing memories. However, he wasnʼt a fool, so he knew having an heir should be something the Soulless Ghost King wanted, or she wouldnʼt have brought this certain condition up.

However, Jacob wasnʼt the Soulless Ghost King and didnʼt want to have children, not to mention children with Dark Beings.

”What if Blackwell is no longer alive?” He asked while avoiding the other topic.

The Soul Ghost Kingʼs killing intent intensified again as she replied, ”I-if… I want vengeance!”

Jacobʼs lips rose ever so slightly, ”Iʼve always respected you, Alma, and you are very precious to me, and no one in this world is more important to me than you. But you never trusted me, but I donʼt care as long as you are by my side.

”What I want is not your body but your recognition, and I want you to be by my side on my path of power. I know you care about your brother. Thatʼs why I have never done anything to him and never take action when you reveal confidential information to him.

”This time is the same; I was afraid to tell you since I know you would be devastated once you get this news. But I want you to know that Iʼm always by your side andʼll do anything to prove it for you.”

The Soul Ghost King, or Almaʼs figure, trembled when she heard ʼSoulless Ghost Kingʼ gentle words as she thought this was her imagination since she knew Soulless Ghost King was truly ruthless and there was no place for kindness or compassion in his nature.

However, she sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, ”What do you mean? Tell me what youʼre hiding!?”

Jacob knew this was the chance to achieve what he wanted, and he said without hesitation, ”Forgive me for not coming clean earlier because I know you werenʼt prepared. However, now that youʼre willing to give me an heir for Royal Ghost Seal, I canʼt hide it from you.

”So, itʼs better if you found this from me. Actually, Iʼve already used the Royal Ghost Seal, and the truth is, Blackwell is dead, and I believed it was those four! Iʼll help with your vengeance. Letʼs bathe the entire Sagittarius Continent with blood!”
