Chapter 398 - Master Ghost

Because Lin Xuan’s identity was extraordinary, and the Void Spirit Elixirs he refined truly elevated the cultivation of three of the Jiang Family’s geniuses by a small realm.

This directly provoked the people of other powers.

Many hurriedly sought out Lin Xuan, intending to beg him to refine Void Spirit Elixirs.

However, they received intelligence that Lin Xuan had entered Ghost Manor.

The crowd hesitated, for Master Ghost of Ghost Manor was notoriously ferocious in Hei and City, and the manor itself was so bizarre that they really didn’t want to go there without a special reason.

The awe-inspiring castle, adorned with images of soaring eagles, was none other than the territory of Feiying Castle.

“Dad, that kid entered Ghost Manor, and I bet he’s dead for sure.

There’s no way he’s coming out!”

“Let him compete with me for Yu Ting; he deserves it!” Ying Shaohong smirked coldly.

Although he was attracted to the Elixir Pills, nothing mattered to him compared to Yu Ting.

“Actually, I do hope he can come out alive.

After Yu Ting took the Elixir Pills, her cultivation has improved even more.”

“Moreover, if she is to join the Jiang Family in the future, the gap between you will only grow wider.

Even without anyone else’s interference, you might not be able to have her,” Ying Tieshan said soberly.

“Now I can only hope that the kid can come out safely, so he can refine a few Void Spirit Elixir Pills for us.”

Meanwhile, at Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Tianyou and others had also received news that Lin Xuan had gone to Ghost Manor.

Jiang Yuting was very anxious upon hearing this, “Dad, it must be very dangerous for Lin Xuan to enter that place.

Shouldn’t we go rescue him?”

“Stop fussing, Ghost Manor is not a place we can just barge into,” Jiang Tianyou said sternly.

“But he has helped our Family a lot; we can’t just watch him walk into danger.”

“Moreover, even though Ghost Manor is said to be eerie, if the manor master is not a Spirit Communication Realm powerhouse, why should we fear him?”

“Ting’er, you know everything.

’s Cultivation Techniques and moves are mysterious and unpredictable, impossible to guard against.”

“And it’s said that Ghost Manor is a place of great misfortune, sealing something terrible, far beyond our ability to meddle with.”

“Besides, his identity is very sensitive.

It’s rumored to have complicated ties with Big Banner Sect.”

Speaking of Big Banner Sect, Jiang Tianyou frowned even deeper.

Jiang Yuting also frowned, stamping her feet in agitation.

Big Banner Sect was one of the six top powers in Dragon Star Country, even stronger than the Jiang Family as a whole.

Whereas Green Water Lake’s Jiang Mansion was just one of the Jiang Clan’s branches, and compared to Big Banner Sect, it was significantly inferior.

“How did this guy end up with Big Banner Sect?” Jiang Yuting couldn’t comprehend.

“Forget it, Lin Xuan has indeed been kind to us, so I must make a trip there.”

With that said, Jiang Tianyou’s figure flickered, and he disappeared within the hall.

The mist at Ghost Manor was dense, creating a very chilling atmosphere.

Upon learning that Lin Xuan was willing to help, a smile emerged on the withered and gaunt face of Master Ghost.

But the smile looked worse than crying.

Like a ghost, he drifted to Lin Xuan’s room.

“Boy, let your Spirit Beast come out, let me have a look,” Master Ghost’s voice was hoarse, like a Poison Snake sliding across the ground.

The Snow White Monkey jumped out, curiously looking at Master Ghost, then stuck out its tongue and made a Ghost Face.

“What a badly-behaved rotten monkey!” Master Ghost’s expression darkened slightly, his withered hand, as tough as iron, thrust out suddenly.

The air rippled slightly, and a piercing sound of slicing through the air was heard.

’s speed was like a specter, the iron-black palm reaching the Snow White Monkey’s head in an instant.

The Snow White Monkey displayed a look of disdain and vanished with a whoosh.

grasped at thin air, and for the first time, some ripples disturbed his parchment-like face.

At that moment, the Snow White Monkey had leaped onto a nearby table.

’s sunken eye sockets tightly fixed on the Snow White Monkey, his gaze flickering like ghost fire, eerily unpredictable.

He launched several more bizarre attacks at the Snow White Monkey, all of which were quickly dodged by the latter.

At this moment, Master Ghost was extremely excited, and a tremor could be seen on his withered face.

He, being a powerhouse of the Spirit Transformation Realm, had an incredibly fast attack speed, but even so, he still hadn’t touched a single hair on the Snow White Monkey.

Perhaps even those at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm could not match this speed.

“Good!

Good!

Good!”

uttered three low exclamations, looking at the Snow White Monkey as if he saw a kind of hope.

“Young man, I didn’t expect you to possess such a rare and exotic beast,” Master Ghost said to Lin Xuan, his eyes softening considerably.

“Have I heard correctly that you are a swordsman?” Ghost Master asked.

Lin Xuan nodded: “That’s right, I am indeed a swordsman.”

“If this is successful, I will give you a Spiritual Grade Treasure Sword.”

“Spiritual Grade Treasure Sword!” Lin Xuan’s pupils contracted slightly.

The prestige of a Spiritual Grade Treasure was well known, and the black cloak on his back was one such treasure.

With it, Lin Xuan had evaded many crises.

“Are you serious?” Lin Xuan asked excitedly.

“When have I ever lied to anyone?

Besides, Spiritual Grade Treasures aren’t really anything special to me,” Master Ghost snorted coldly.

“Then, young man, I thank the elder here in advance.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself.

The place we’re going to collect the treasure is extremely dangerous.

It’s not certain we can retrieve it, it might even cost us our lives in the end.”

The Snow White Monkey appeared displeased, gesticulating a series of motions.

It seemed to suggest that its skills were unique in the world and it would surely seize the treasure effortlessly.

Xuan also patted the Snow White Monkey’s head: “I believe in it.”

Elder Ghost wanted to say more, but just then, a loud voice entered Ghost Manor.

“Jiang Mansion’s Jiang Tianyou requests an audience with Master Ghost.”

The voice was exceptionally clear, reaching every corner of Ghost Manor.

“Jiang Mansion?

What does the Jiang Family want here at this time?

Don’t tell me they’re also eyeing that treasure?” Master Ghost’s expression darkened.

Lin Xuan’s expression turned odd; he thought of a possibility.

Could it be because of him?

Sure enough, after a moment, Jiang Tianyou’s loud voice rang out again.

“The young man named Lin Xuan who entered a few days ago is a Guest Elder of our Jiang Mansion.

If he has offended Ghost Manor in any way, I request Master Ghost to look past it on the account of the Jiang Clan.”

“Indeed!”

Lin Xuan heard this and touched his nose with a wry smile.

looked at Lin Xuan in surprise: “Young man, it seems you’ve got quite a few people concerned about you.”

“Come on, come outside with me.”

Outside Ghost Manor, Jiang Tianyou stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed ahead.

Honestly, he hadn’t had much hope for this matter, but for Lin Xuan’s sake, he decided to give it a try.

Truthfully, such a commotion had long attracted the attention of other forces, but none of them came forward, choosing instead to lurk in the shadows and observe.

There was no helping it; Ghost Manor was peered with strangeness and backed by the formidable Big Banner Sect—it wasn’t a place where just anyone could cause an uproar.

Boom!

Inside Ghost Manor, a cloud of ghost mist rolled and formed into a dark cloud, drifting towards the outside.

Atop that cloud stood a gaunt figure, emanating a cold and powerful aura.

Next to him was a handsome young man, with a Snow White Monkey sitting on his shoulder.

“Lin Xuan!”

Everyone looked up towards the figure in the clouds.
