Meanwhile, Maiko Chiba suddenly rushed over. Earlier, she went into the blood river to consume those
countless resentful spirits. However, the growling sound from the ghost king far away exerted
tremendous pressure on her. Within a short amount of time, Maiko couldnât handle it anymore. âMaster,
hurry up. Allow me to go into the Stake of Exorcism. I canât take it anymore!â
The ghost kingâs growling was like a call for obedience. Maiko was also a ghost. She could also be
affected by it. If she listened to it a few more times, sheâd end up joining the enemy camp.
Suddenly, everyoneâs facial expression turned awful.
âRockefeller, hurry up and remove my seal. Now that everyone is on the same boat, are you still
worried that Iâll attack you guys?â Trevon Lambert shouted.
âCan you fight so many resentful spirits?â Alex Rockefeller asked.
âIâll save my strength to fight that ghost king, â Trevon said unabashedly.
Who would believe in bullsh*t like that?
Alex and Dorothy Assex attacked the resentful spirits in the blood river several times, but it wasnât very
effective. Mainly, it was because there were too many resentful spirits in the blood river. Killing a few
dozen to a hundred, or even up to a thousand, was of no use. They should instead save their strength
until they see the ghost king.
Everyone fell silent on the boat, but they were all very nervous.
The grave danger they were about to face felt like a giant stone weighing down upon them, and it made
everyone feel suffocated.
Right then, everyone heard a noise.
âAhl!â
âNo, no!â
It was a manâs voice, and it came from the other direction of the blood river.
After taking a glance, they saw that there was an intersection further down the blood river. A multitude
of resentful spirits surrounded a man as he rolled around in the blood river with a terrified expression
on his face. He was also heading in the same direction as the boat Alex and the others were in.
âWho is that?â Susan was shocked.
âCould it also be someone like Mr. Lambert who came in after us?â Susan asked.
Zayne York shook his head. âNot possible. Thatâs an intersection in the blood river. He probably came
from a different direction from us⦠In this case, it means that someone else has entered this place.â
âLetâs rescue him and ask him,â Alex said.
Everyone couldnât quite comprehend this. That person was over a hundred meters away from their
boat, and there were so many resentful spirits down there. They couldnât even see the blood river itself.
How were they going to save him?
In the end, Alex actually jumped off the boat. As his body floated in the air, he gathered endless
lightning power around him.
With a grabbing motion of one hand, a sizzling sound could be heard. It was as if he held a myriad of
lightning bolts in his hand. He then flung the lightning bolts forward.
âHoly sh*t!â At some point, Quincy Zoppins had woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw
Alex floating mid-air. âItâs the god of thunder!â he exclaimed.
Boom!
Beneath them, a passageway was created by a multitude of lightning bolts.
All the resentful spirits that were struck cried out pitifully. Some perished, while others escaped.
Freya Mayerâs pupils reflected the glare of the lightning bolts. Suddenly, she was so shocked that she
couldnât speak.
âThis fellow is powerful!â she thought.
The man in the blood river also witnessed this scene. He, too, was shocked. However, due to his will
for survival, he started to
shout. âHelp, help!â
Shuffleâ¦
Alex generated electricity beneath his feet and dashed forward on the blood river. He forcefully grabbed
that person away from a bunch of resentful spirits before rushing back to the boat.
After the manâs feet landed on the shipboard, he sighed loudly. âThank you so muchâ¦â He said while
still feeling fearful.
Before he could finish his sentence, a sword was pressed against his neck. âSpeak. Who are you? Why
are you here?â
