Chapter 210: Hongyun Town

Five days later.

Lin Chao entered the Ghost Domain.

To Lin Chao's surprise, the Ghost Domain was not a small world, but the Qiyuan Main World.

However, deep within the Ghost Domain, there was endless Ghost Qi, which ordinary people could not enter at all.

Such a large Ghost Domain was as vast as a province of Jing Country.

The fact that it was filled with Ghosts showed the power of the Ghosts.

The Transcendental of Jing Country, added together, did not even amount to one-tenth of the Ghosts in the Ghost Domain.

Inside a mansion, large red lanterns were hung, the red light gloomy, and coquettish laughter came from the depths of the mansion.

"Ye Luo, this is your master; he looks quite handsome." The Mei Ghost King had a smile on her face, her full breasts rising and falling with the smile.

Her figure was extremely good, forming a sharp contrast with the Ye Luo King.

The originally somewhat dark and cute Ye Luo King appeared exceptionally flat when set against the Mei Ghost King.

"Mei Ghost King, my lord is a supreme existence; your words... show some respect." The Ye Luo King spoke, her voice crisp.

In the Ghost Domain, the Ye Luo King's mansion was close to the Mei Ghost King's, and their spheres of influence were adjacent.

Therefore, the relationship between the Ye Luo King and the Mei Ghost King was also quite good.

The Mei Ghost King was slightly stunned.

She was on very good terms with the Ye Luo King and knew the Ye Luo King's character, which had always been unyielding to others.

That this member of the Feng Family could contract the Ye Luo King had already made the Mei Ghost King exceptionally astonished.

As a result, seeing the Ye Luo King so incredibly convinced by that member of the Feng Family left the Mei Ghost King puzzled.

At this moment, Lin Chao, who had been silent, spoke: "Mei Ghost King, the Ye Luo King should have told you my intentions."

The Mei Ghost King stared at Lin Chao and took a deep breath: "If you help me deal with Master Qingguang, I am naturally willing to pull strings for you.

It's just... are you sure you can contract so many Ghosts?"

The Mei Ghost King's reputation in the Ghost Domain was much better than the Ye Luo King's.

If one were to name a socialite in the Ghost Domain, it would definitely be the Mei Ghost King.

The Ye Luo King had a smile on her face: "Have you ever seen a member of the Feng Family who has contracted hundreds of Ghosts?"

"No." The Mei Ghost King shook her head.

The Feng Family was indeed very special and could contract Ghosts.

But generally speaking, being able to contract ten was the limit.

Contracting a hundred was unheard of.

"The benefits of following my lord are beyond your imagination," the Ye Luo King said coquettishly.

However, in front of the Mei Ghost King, her coquettishness was far too thin.

The Mei Ghost King took a deep breath: "Let us first discuss how to deal with Master Qingguang."

Mentioning Master Qingguang, all the Ghosts present became wary.

Masters were high and mighty, unknown to the world.

But these powerful Ghosts naturally knew that these Masters were the true rulers of humanity.

Master Qingguang was not only powerful in strength but also controlled a Monster, possessing formidable power.

Even the Mei Ghost King was unwilling to provoke Master Qingguang.

The Mei Ghost King spoke: "Actually, I suspect that Qingguang wants to take me as a concubine, but his target is not me, but... you, Ye Luo King."

"What? Qingguang also wants to take me as a concubine?" The Ye Luo King jumped up.

"No," the Mei Ghost King shook her head, "You wiped out the Wang Family, which must have attracted the attention of the human upper echelons. I suspect Qingguang is just using the excuse of marrying me, and then..."

The Mei Ghost King did not continue the rest of her words.

Lin Chao, who had been calm, spoke at this time: "These are not important; what is important is, where is Qingguang now?"

Lin Chao was in a hurry.

He had to take down Qingguang so he could use the Mei Ghost King to quickly finish contracting all the Ghosts in the Ghost Domain.

Peacefully taking down the Ghosts of the Ghost Domain was the most time-saving way.

The Mei Ghost King looked at Lin Chao and spoke slowly: "He will soon arrive at Hongyun Town."

"Good." Lin Chao replied and left the mansion.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and some whispers came from inside the mansion.

"Can this Feng Yan really defeat Master Qingguang?"

"I heard his Feng Family technique is still at the Fifth Layer; how can he defeat Master Qingguang?"

"Did you see that male Ghost in red beside Feng Yan? He looks a bit like... a Ghost God..."

"Mei Ghost King, if Feng Yan wins, we could indeed contract with him; let's see if he can bring some surprises to our peaceful Ghost lives."

Hongyun Town.

This small town was located in the far west of Jing Country; further west was a desert.

Rumor had it that the Ghost Domain was in the desert.

According to some Mythical legends, this desert was buried with the remains of countless powerful people, and endless treasures were buried inside.

Every year, many Transcendental would enter the desert to explore.

Some returned empty-handed, some were buried in the desert, and some made a fortune.

In a noodle shop with simple decor, many people were eating noodles.

"Fang Yuan, how is it? Any gains?" Beside him, a burly man asked.

Fang Yuan frowned, a look of desolation flashing in his eyes: "No, I have already been here for half a month, and I haven't found a trace of the Jade Flower at all."

"There are only three months left; if we don't find the Jade Flower soon... Senior Dingdang will..." The burly man let out a sigh.

Senior Dingdang was a genius at their Academy, and she had taken great care of them.

Some time ago, Senior Dingdang failed to break through to the Third Tier and was severely injured; she absolutely needed the Jade Flower to resolve it.

The Jade Flower is extremely rare and can only be found in the desert before them.

Thus, Fang Yuan and the burly man came here to search for the Jade Flower.

"She will definitely be fine," Fang Yuan said, clenching his fists.

After entering the Night Trace Extraordinary Academy, Fang Yuan's life had been Ordinary, but he had also experienced a great deal.

First, there was the betrayal by his first love, which caused him to fall into a slump for a period of time.

However, during a mission, he and Senior Dingdang encountered danger; the two were alone together for half a month, developed feelings for each other, and eventually confirmed their relationship.

This time, no matter what, he had to find the Jade Flower.

Fang Yuan and the burly man ate their noodles quickly, thinking at the same time about continuing their search for the Jade Flower in the desert later.

Just then, an old man wearing a yellow baseball cap entered the noodle shop.

"Boss, one bowl of shredded pork with preserved mustard greens noodles, add extra cilantro and green onions."

The old man's clothes were tattered and worn, and he clutched a large bundle in his arms, though it was unclear what was inside.

People in the noodle shop saw the old man and all wore expressions of wariness.

Do not be fooled by the fact that the old man looked frail, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

However, anyone capable of appearing in Red Cloud Town was certainly no Ordinary person.

This old man might very well be a powerful Transcendental.

Fang Yuan also snuck a glance at the old man before withdrawing his gaze.

Right now, his heart held only the Jade Flower and Senior Dingdang.

The shredded pork with preserved mustard greens noodles were served, topped with a generous amount of cilantro.

The old man took a sniff and revealed an obsessed expression.

"People, they truly are nostalgic."

The old man recalled when he was still a stray child, an old man had handed him a bowl of shredded pork with preserved mustard greens noodles.

It was raining at the time, and the shredded pork with preserved mustard greens noodles were steaming hot and fragrant; to him, it was the most delicious delicacy in the world.

In the years that followed, he had eaten many bowls of shredded pork with preserved mustard greens noodles, but none were as good as that first bowl, none as delicious as that one.

He had also eaten all kinds of delicacies from around the world and tasted every species, but the only thing that could give him a sense of satiety was noodles.

He ate the noodles, slurp, slurp—every single noodle, every piece of cilantro, he savored carefully, afraid of missing even the slightest bit.

His movements looked very elegant, yet he ate with great speed; in less than two minutes, the bowl of noodles was finished.

The noodles and side dishes were all gone, and even the soup was finished down to the last drop.

The old man let out a satisfied burp, looking exceptionally content.

He closed his eyes, as if resting.

But then, suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Master, I have already shown you seventy-nine openings; are you still not going to strike?

Or is it that you intend to keep waiting?"
