“Clean him out! Clean him out!” A tremor ran through the giant ghost king, who was now glaring at Bai Xiaochun with intense killing intent.
Despite that killing intent, Bai Xiaochun simply walked forward and began to search him. A moment later, he pulled out a ring of holding. Unfortunately, further searching didn’t reveal anything else.
“Only one ring of holding?” he said, less than pleased. “That’s it?”
As for the giant ghost king, the humiliation he was enduring had his heart pulsing with rage that simply couldn’t be described with words.
As far as he was concerned, this Bai Hao was nothing more than a pawn in his game, something to make the action a bit more interesting. He should be the type of person he could kill with a thought if necessary. Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that this pawn would end up holding his own life in his hands!
This sudden turn of events, and the sudden crisis, was something that the giant ghost king couldn’t simply accept. He was a demigod, and he had planned this entire event down to the smallest detail.
However, even as he seemed to sink into a cool calm, the little turtle shouted, “Searching for treasures isn’t your forte, ya little punk!”
With that, he flew forward and began searching the giant ghost king’s robes and tossing all sorts of items out toward Bai Xiaochun.
There was a long, crimson spear, a blue jade slip, a multi-colored magic bottle, and also... a fist-sized chunk of black rock!
When the giant ghost king saw all of these things flying out, his expression flickered, and soon turned extremely unsightly. Those items had been hidden in various spatial pockets he had created, which no one should ever have been able to find. However, the little turtle... easily found them and emptied them.
“You....” the giant ghost king said anxiously, his eyes bulging. Although there weren’t many items, each one was the type that could shake heaven and earth!
That red spear was how he had earned his name to begin with, and could not be wielded by anyone under the Deva Realm. It had been forged with an object that fell from beyond the heavens, and contained 1,000,000,000 restrictive spells. Even among devas, it could be considered a top-rate item!
Then there was the blue jade slip. It looked ordinary in nature, but contained a legacy Dao of incredible importance. As for the magic bottle, it was called the Primeval Cosmos Bottle, and was similarly something that could not be used by anyone under the level of a deva. It could absorb any and all objects in creation and transform them into high-level medicine. He had paid a huge price to acquire this item, and was relatively certain that it was why the nine serenities king had gotten involved in the rebellion!
Finally, there was the black rock. It was a completely unique item in the world that not even the giant ghost king was sure of the origins of. Supposedly, it had once belonged to the first generation arch-emperor, although no one knew where he had acquired it.
These items were his most valuable treasures, so seeing them being taken away by the little turtle filled the giant ghost king’s heart with uncontrollable anxiety.
Bai Xiaochun was ecstatic to see so many things being pulled out. Although he wasn’t sure how to use any of them, and despite the fact that they all were branded personally to the giant ghost king, he could tell that they were extraordinary.
“Anything the giant ghost king kept hidden on his person should definitely be incredibly precious! Maybe I can’t use them now, but I’ll be able to eventually!”
Bai Xiaochun did his best to hide his pleasure, but as for the little turtle, it was with immense pride that he looked disdainfully at the giant ghost king and said, “Think you can hide your stuff from Lord Turtle? Dream on!”
The giant ghost king fought to keep himself under control. He knew that at the moment, his rage could do nothing to resolve the situation, and that despite how his heart was dripping with blood... he needed to force himself to remain calm.
“What do you want?!” he said, uttering his words one at a time. Although his cultivation base was currently very weak, and he couldn’t even control his own life or death, he still managed to radiate calmness, and was even somewhat threatening. When Bai Xiaochun saw that, he couldn’t help but shiver a bit; after all, this was a demigod, even though his cultivation base was currently not at that level.
However, the fact that he felt scared also got him angry.
“Trying to frighten me?!” he said. Then he thought about how the giant ghost king had been using him as a pawn in his game, and had even turned him into a prisoner. Influenced a bit by the little turtle, his eyes suddenly shone with disdain, and he smacked the giant ghost king across the side of the head again.
“Close your eyes when you talk to me!” he said angrily. The sight of the giant ghost king so angry that he was physically shaking was actually quite exciting. Licking his lips, he continued,
“I've never smacked a demigod! So exciting....” In fact, he couldn’t hold back from delivering another smack.
“Not gonna follow orders huh? Heh heh. I said close your eyes when you talk to me!”
“Do you have a death wish, Bai Hao?!?!?!” The giant ghost king raged angrily. If his cultivation base was at its normal level, he would teach Bai Xiaochun a long and hard lesson about the consequences of slapping people!!

Chapter
649: Human Shield
Bai Xiaochun was quite excited by the thrill of the moment, so in response to the giant ghost king’s threatening words, he angrily yelled, “Still trying to threaten me? How dare you! Don’t push me. I'm the number one dark inquisitor in Devil Penitentiary. When I get pissed off, I frighten even myself!!”
Then he placed his hand onto his bag of holding and considered whether or not to take out an Aphrodisiac Pill.
When the giant ghost king saw the rage in Bai Xiaochun’s eyes, he was shocked. Then he remembered hearing that Bai Xiaochun was a dark inquisitor, and soon, hatred began to build up in his heart. He was a majestic demigod expert, the illustrious giant ghost king. The fact that a small fry like this was threatening to torment him caused him to grit his teeth in anger. However, he still managed to calm down.
“What do you want, Bai Hao? Just tell me! Spit it out! Don’t tell me that your betrayal of the Bai Clan was some elaborate plot!?!?” The giant ghost king was able to control his anger so well that his voice actually didn't contain anything threatening in it all. As he spoke, he also couldn’t help but glance at Bai Xiaochun’s palm, and wonder if he was going to get slapped again.
“Plot my ass! You listen up, King Giant Ghost. Lord Bai wants--” However, before he could finish his sentence, Cellblock D suddenly trembled, and then the entrance shook violently, almost as if someone was trying to break it open.
Bai Xiaochun’s face fell as he looked over at the entrance. Another huge boom echoed out, and the entrance collapsed, revealing numerous figures who began to fly in.
Then, a shout of rage erupted out, the type of which that contained unsurpassable animosity.
“Bai Hao!! The time has come for you to die!!”
It was none other than the chief of the Bai Clan, flanked by numerous other cultivators from the direct bloodline.
Even as Bai Xiaochun’s face fell, the little turtle transmitted a message.
“Let’s take the loot and run! They showed up sooner than expected, and Lord Turtle can’t fully control the spell formation!!”
Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath to restore his calm. His eyes flashed with icy light as he unhesitatingly grabbed the giant ghost king by the neck, then turned to flee.
