Chapter 176: Feng Yan's Identity (Thanks to [Don't Want to Know at All])

"Ah, a monster!"

"A monster!"

The people present were terrified and kept retreating.

Liu Xue's entire person changed in an instant.

Countless strands of hair crazily drilled out from her mouth and nostrils.

Every orifice was having hair drill out of it.

It was as if her entire body were made of hair.

The hair was soaking wet and growing savagely.

A powerful aura rushed toward them.

"Second Tier, Wolf Night."

Lin Chao's eyes held a smile.

Facing Liu Xue, he did not use a Daoist Method, but instead pushed out a palm.

The powerful palm strike emitted a huge, booming sound.

One force overcomes ten techniques!

A mere Second Tier Wolf Night had no ability to resist in front of Lin Chao at all.

He struck down with one palm.

Liu Xue's hair instantly snapped and melted, as if it had caught on Fire.

"Ah!" Liu Xue let out a miserable shriek, the look of terror on her face intensifying.

"Die." Lin Chao attacked again, his hand landing on Liu Xue's shoulder.

He twisted with force, and Liu Xue's petite body instantly deformed, twisted by Lin Chao into a bizarre shape.

The flesh and blood belonging to a human completely vanished, leaving behind only a large mass of black hair.

The Second Tier Wolf Night had no ability to resist in front of Lin Chao at all.

In an instant, the Wolf Night perished.

Lin Chao held that mass of hair, his expression calm: "It is resolved."

Nearby, Liu Yuqing, who had retreated far away, hurriedly stepped forward, a look of unbearable grief on his face: "Many thanks to you, sir, for saving our lives!"

After all, the one who died was his daughter.

"Many thanks, sir!" The others also echoed, still shaken.

The joy of having survived a disaster appeared on their faces.

Lin Chao remained calm, his Gentle as Jade talent continuously active.

His heart felt somewhat heavy.

"Since the matter is resolved, I shall take my leave."

Just then, however, Liu Yuqing suddenly spoke, a trace of fear on his face: "Sir, that monster just said there were bloodstains in the lake. Would you like to go and investigate? What if there are... other monsters inside?"

"That was merely the monster trying to deceive us." Lin Chao paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "There is no need to worry."

"Would you like to stay for a dinner banquet, sir..." Liu Yuqing hurriedly continued to ask.

"No." Lin Chao refused directly, and his figure vanished.

Several minutes later, Lin Chao stopped his steps, his back covered in sweat.

"Just now, that feeling."

In truth, upon entering the Liu household, for some reason, Lin Chao had felt a strong sense of being watched.

That sense of being watched came precisely from the thirteen people of the Liu family.

It was as if those thirteen people were all staring at him deeply from behind.

Yet, those thirteen people did not know, and if Lin Chao were anyone else, they would not have known either.

Within the Liu family courtyard, there seemed to be an even more terrifying existence.

At that time, Lin Chao had frantically used his Gentle as Jade talent to increase others' favor toward him.

The result.

That was why he had struck quickly to Slay the Wolf Night and then left immediately.

"My strength is still too weak."

Lin Chao was vigilant in his heart.

To think that merely Slaying one Second Tier monster would lead to such an encounter.

Fortunately, nothing major happened.

"I must quickly improve my strength; only at the True Spirit realm will I have a bit of self-preservation ability."

Lin Chao's gaze was firm.

Back in Jiuzhou, it took him over a hundred years to reach the True Immortal realm.

Here, without Fire beasts, he must hunt more monsters to strengthen himself.

"If only I could have my own faction to help me hunt the monster race."

Lin Chao narrowed his eyes slightly.

His three talents—Superior, Subordinate Control, and Gentle as Jade—were all very suitable for building a faction.

"It seems I can no longer be a lone wolf; the efficiency is too slow."

Lin Chao thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

An hour later, in the Spider archives, Lin Chao was searching continuously.

He had to investigate and understand the strange incident encountered at the Liu household.

Not long after, a brief document appeared before him.

"Three hundred years ago, a demonic beast, the Wolf-Demon, entered the Liu family residence in Ge'en City; a Transcendental intervened and Slayed the Wolf-Demon.

The Liu family hosted a banquet for their benefactor, but late at night, the Transcendental drank too much, fell into the lake, and died."

"Liu family residence... Wolf-Demon... lake... what a coincidence." Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He could not help but recall the descriptions of Ghosts in the book.

It was very similar to the scene he had encountered today.

"Ghosts... are not something I can come into contact with right now.

At the very least, one must reach the True Immortal realm to be able to make contact."

Regarding Ghosts, Lin Chao had his own understanding in his heart.

I fear that even a True Immortal could not do what a Ghost does.

A Ghost seems just like a Rule.

"Liu family... I will wait until I am stronger before making contact."

Lin Chao made a decision in his heart.

Ghosts are very powerful, and within them, there may also exist an opportunity to become stronger.

Lin Chao naturally would not miss it.

Just at this moment, a kindly voice came over: "Black Robe, you're back? It seems the matter with the Liu family has been handled."

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded and looked at the Spider President.

The Spider President was an old man, a Third Tier powerhouse.

He had graduated from one of the Ten Great Extraordinary Academies of Jing Country and was immensely talented.

However, seventy years ago, a demonic plague occurred in a village town; the President intervened but was ambushed, suffered heavy injuries, and developed a chronic illness, causing his strength to be unable to advance even an inch.

Thus, he returned to Ge'en City, founded Spider, and guarded the small Ge'en City.

It can be said that the current peace in Ge'en City is due to the indelible contributions of the Spider President.

"I have a matter to discuss with you; I wonder if you are interested." The Spider President smiled, his gaze very kind.

"What is it?" Lin Chao stopped the movements in his hands.

"You saw that young man by my side today, right?"

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

That young man looked extraordinary at first glance.

"That young man's background is quite extraordinary." The Spider President's gaze carried a trace of reverence, "He comes from the Ghost Catcher Feng Family."

"Feng Family?" Lin Chao was a bit surprised.

He knew that this body of his originated from the Feng Family, though it was just a branch of the Feng Family.

"The Feng Family is different from ordinary Transcendental families.

The physiques of the Feng Family descendants are special, and the cultivation path they follow is very unique.

Ordinary Transcendental cultivation relies on the power of the demon race.

But the Feng Family relies on Ghosts.

Feng Family descendants can form contracts with Ghosts to obtain a portion of a Ghost's power while simultaneously enhancing their own strength.

That Feng Family descendant today, named Feng Sidao, appeared in Ge'en City because he is preparing to go to... an abandoned residence to contract a Ghost.

However, Ghosts are very powerful; even the weakest Ghost is equivalent to the strength of a Third Tier.

He needs some manpower to help; are you interested?

As for the reward? It is definitely higher than you Slaying a Third Tier Transcendental alone." The Spider President squinted his eyes, waiting for Lin Chao's answer.

"Fine, I will go." Lin Chao hesitated for a moment and immediately agreed.

Deep inside, he felt a trace of joy.

In this body of his, the bloodline of the Feng Family also flowed.

This meant that he could also contract Ghosts to increase his own strength.

Previously, he had been considering how to build his own force to capture demonic creatures for himself to cultivate.

Now it seemed he had seen an opportunity.

If he contracted many Ghosts, wouldn't that mean he would naturally possess subordinates?

Of course, the specific details still needed to be considered.

At that time, he would ask Feng Sidao to understand more details.

"Good." The Spider President's face carried joy, "When it is time to set off, I will notify you.

It is estimated to be within these few days; do not leave Ge'en."

"Fine." Lin Chao nodded.

One day later.

Outside a simple residential complex, a car was parked.

Feng Sidao's face carried a complex expression: "Jian Fang has actually been living in seclusion in Ge'en City all this time."

He came from the Feng Family and was considered a talented figure among the younger generation of the family.

In the Feng Family, there were two Legendary figures.

One was named Feng Shanyue, and one was named Feng Jun.

They were a pair of siblings.

The first Ghost contracted by these siblings was a Ghost King.

You must know, a Ghost King is a Seventh Tier existence!

In this world, they belong to the peak of existences.

This was even the first Ghost they had contracted.

This kind of situation was rarely seen in the Feng Family for a thousand years, and at that time, two such people appeared directly.

Everyone felt that the Feng Family would flourish.

When Feng Sidao was young, he always regarded his uncle Feng Shanyue as his idol.

Unfortunately, Feng Shanyue fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have and offended a powerful existence; in order to protect his young child, he ultimately perished.

When Feng Shanyue's younger sister Feng Jun was at a critical moment in her cultivation, she learned that her brother had fallen and her nephew had died, causing problems in her cultivation, and she had been trapping herself in Tianlong Temple ever since.

As for Jian Fang, she had an extraordinary relationship with Feng Shanyue and could be considered his confidante.

At the time when Feng Shanyue perished, Jian Fang was also on the scene.

Upon learning that Jian Fang was in Ge'en City, Feng Sidao sighed inwardly.

If his uncle Feng Shanyue were still alive, the current Feng Family would likely not be in its present state.

Feng Sidao knew how stunning his uncle had been back then.

Even the Ye Family of the Otherworld Jiuzhou was willing to enter into a marriage alliance with him.

Feng Sidao knew that those Immortal Cultivators from the Otherworld were arrogant and had always regarded them, the Transcendentals, as evil heretics.

Unfortunately, his uncle Feng Shanyue perished, and his aunt Feng Jun also seemed to have become a cripple.

Naturally, no one mentioned the marriage alliance again.

Beside him, the middle-aged man spoke: "Young Master, Jian Fang is raising a boy by her side named Feng Yan, who is... fourteen years old this year."

"What?" Feng Sidao's expression was shocked, but he quickly returned to calm, "No, my cousin had already died at the hands of those people back then."

Not only that, his cousin's corpse was eventually sent to the Ge'en Feng Family.

In the end, Feng Buchun of the Feng Family drew out the Black Gate, leading to the destruction of this branch of the Feng Family.

When the Black Gate takes action, even the head of the Feng Family might not be its match.

His cousin had only just been born and was already a corpse; how could it be possible for him to still be alive?

"This must be a coincidence!" Feng Sidao muttered, but he still asked, "Do you have a photo of Feng Yan?"

"I do." The middle-aged man handed over the photo.

A photo of a delicate and handsome youth appeared.

He seemed somewhat similar to the facial contours of his uncle Feng Shanyue, yet also seemed completely different.

Feng Sidao took a glance, his gaze deep: "There is no sense of Ghostly charm in his eyes; it seems to be just a coincidence, he is not my cousin."

Feng Sidao made his deduction.

Beside him, the middle-aged man nodded: "It is likely just a coincidence."

"Mm." Feng Sidao nodded.

People of the Feng Family have a special bloodline, and their eyes carry a Ghostly aura.

He did not see it in Feng Yan's eyes.

But this did not mean Feng Yan was not his cousin.

However, the Water there was too deep for him, Feng Sidao, to get involved in.

He had already decided that after contracting a Ghost this time, he would go to Tianlong Temple to tell his aunt about this matter.

All these years, his aunt had been constantly talking about her eldest brother and nephew.

"Let's go, Jian Fang has her own life now, we won't disturb her." Feng Sidao let out a sigh, though his heart felt somewhat urgent.

He wanted to return to Tianlong Temple quickly to tell his aunt Feng Jun the news from Ge'en City.
