Condemning the Heavens Chapter 546

Chapter 546: 546
The branch leader waved his hand to make all the subordinates present leave . Many of them could not help but send an extra glance towards Mo Lian, who had appeared .
Even if they did not know of her actual identity, the power that was emanating from her body was enough for all of them to understand that she was not one to be belittled .
But what made them linger and slow down their retreat was not her identity but the words she had said .
Had she just asked the Branch Leader if he had a way for them to leave?
These ghosts were all brilliant, and they instantly understood that what they were leaving was the Ghost Realm .
However, leaving the ghost realm was not easy . No matter how strong one became, it was impossible to ascend to another realm . Everyone knew of the legends that a living being might be able to assist one in leaving, but this was just a legend . Living beings in the Ghost Realm? It sounded like a joke .
These ghosts had intended to slowly leave the hall in an attempt at getting more information, but with a wave of the branch leader's hand, they all were sent out of the doors that shut behind them with a resounding boom .
The ghosts could not help but shake their heads in regret . They could understand why their boss was this alert, though . If he had truly found a way to leave the Ghost Realm, it was a secret he would have to guard with every ounce of soul power he owned .
But why would Mo Lian have yelled it out like that? Was she not worried about which kind of dangers it might bring the branch leader, or did she just not care?
When the door closed, Mo Lian moved to the seat next to the branch leader . She leaned over to the table in front and picked a small crystal-like bead . These beads were the closest to food one could get in the Ghost Realm . They were crystallized soul power, and they were extremely hard to procure, but she still tossed it into her mouth carelessly . There were no signs of being a guest in this manner, more like the mistress having returned .
The branch leader could not help but feel his lips twitch as he saw her extravagant actions, but he did not stop her . It was hard to say which one of them was the strongest, but they did not have a bad relationship, so fighting for the sake of a bit of crystalized soul power was indeed not worth it .
Mo Lian was not in a hurry . She had intentionally mentioned the ability to leave in front of his subordinates as if he was in a rush . Still, now that only the two of them remained within the massive hall, she was casually leaning against the chair, observing the branch leader with interest .
"So you found a living person?" she finally asked after thinking for some time .
While others might think that the living beings visiting the Ghost Realm were merely a rumor, those at the top of the pyramid of power were aware that it was actually true .
"Yes . " The branch leader also answered directly as he heard the question . He could not help but take an extra look at Mo Lian when he thought of how she was the reason for them to come to this forsaken land .
Mo Lian also had her own thoughts . Although the relationship between herself and this branch leader was not bad, it was not considered good either . Their territories were too far apart from one another, so it was not often they interacted with one another . Why had he contacted her?
The branch leader naturally understood her thoughts, but he was also unhappy . Why was he not so lucky? Even so, his future escape from this place depended on this woman, so he had to do his job well .
With that thought in mind, he moved slightly and took a drawing from his storage treasure . He then handed it to Mo Lian, who received it with a bit of doubt .
Upon looking at the drawing, she could not help but frown .
The drawing naturally showed her face, but the aura was vastly different . The woman on the drawing seemed refined, gentle, pure, and innocent .
The current woman, on the other hand, was ruthless, cold, alluring, and oppressive .
If the woman on the drawing seemed like a beautiful white lily, the ghost was like a blood-red rose, beautiful but full of thorns .
"Where did you get this?" Mo Lian had a guess, but she still needed to have it confirmed . She had been in the Ghost Realm for many millennia already; she had never thought that one day someone would come to look for her .
"They gave it to me . They have been searching for you . "
Mo Lian did not have much reaction to this . She had no memories from her time as a living being, so she was no longer restrained by the relationship of the time she was alive .
Even so, her eyes narrowed as a sly gleam flashed by . Even if she had no intention of accepting her past life, she still wanted to make use of this opportunity to leave the Ghost Realm .
Since they had gone out of the way to deliver themselves here, why would she not accept their hard work? As for splitting up upon reaching the world of the living, she felt that it was only natural .
Looking at the drawing in front of her, she knew that the woman they were looking for was not her at all . She was not some gentle and soft woman .
