Chapter 3835
Skylar could not help but laugh at her question. "Debra, the purpose of my exploration in the Ghost World today is in preparation for a world-shocking event, significant changes will occur between heaven and earth when I pull it off, and then I will become a figure who will be remembered for eternity."
'A world-shocking event?' Debra trembled, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
"Debra, this is no small matter, so I can't divulge much. I will tell you all about it once it is completed," Skylar said. He had always erred on the side of caution when it came to important matters like that.
Debra did not bother to ask anymore after that.
"Sect Master, what should we do next?" Kendall asked.
Skylar took a deep breath and said, "The next step is to retrieve him as soon as possible. The Ghost World is a very dangerous place, so I've decided to go alone. It's just that—"
At that point, he furrowed his brows with concern. He knew that even though he possessed the fiend soul, making his power unparalleled in the entire Nine Mainland, it might be a different story when he was at the Ghost World. It would not be worth the loss should he fail to rescue Archfiend Antigonus and get his identity exposed after breaking into the depths of the Underworld.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Kendall could not help but ask, "Sect Master, what are you worrying about?"
Skylar told her all about his concerns. There was no need to hide from her since she was one of his subordinates.
'Ah, so that's what Sect Master is worried about.' Kendall nodded. After she pondered that, she smiled and said, "Those worries are not unreasonable. The Ghost World is indeed very dangerous and requires the utmost caution. However, I have a way to help you hide your identity."
Then, she took out a bottle of ointment, which was green and translucent, like emeralds. However, one could not help but shiver at the sight of it. Obviously, it was a potent poison made by the
Five Poison Sect.
"That's—" Skylar furrowed his brow as he looked at it cautiously. He could immediately sense that the ointment was highly poisonous.
Kendall smiled and said comfortingly, "There's no need to be nervous. This is the Five Poison Sect's withering ointment. As the name implies, your facial features will be aged once you've applied the ointment. It does that by changing the structure of your skin. I'm confident that no one would know who you are after using this ointment. You'll only need to take the antidote to change back after you've completed your mission."
Skylar was overjoyed. He quickly requested Kendall to apply the ointment on his face. After a few minutes, she smiled and said, "All done!"
She passed him a mirror, and Skylar nodded approvingly at her handiwork. In the mirror, he saw a heavily-wrinkled version of himself, as if he had aged a few decades in a few seconds. He had completely lost his handsomeness and became an ugly old man.
