Chapter 276: Chapter 275: Avoiding Ghosts When Encountered

"What right does this guy have?!"

"How does he know Elder He?!"

After boarding the Middle Grade Spirit Boat, Ye Xuan’s complexion turned terrifyingly gloomy, wishing he could tear Ye Xuan to shreds.

That scene just now had stripped him of all his face.

However, the strength Ye Xuan displayed had made him cautious, preventing him from acting rashly, and he could only swallow the humiliation passively.

"You had better stop provoking him," said the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave, giving Ye Xuan’s Saint Heir a sidelong glance, speaking indifferently.

"Disciple pays respect to Master," the Saint Heir of Ye Xuan said, reining in his emotions and speaking respectfully.

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave nodded slightly and said, "Let the matter of today come to an end here."

"But..." The Saint Heir of Ye Xuan was unwilling at heart.

"There’s no ’but’ about it." The eyes of the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave grew sharp as he spoke sternly, "Do you know what kind of background Elder He has?"

The Saint Heir of Ye Xuan spoke softly, "The main headquarters of the Spiritual Boat Association?"

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave shook his head slightly and said, "It’s more than that."

"More than that?" Doubt surged in the heart of the Saint Heir of Ye Xuan.

"He once followed one of the thirteen vice-chairmen, Mo Gaoli, and is recognized as the number one person under Mo Gaoli," the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave said gravely.

"What? One of the thirteen vice-chairmen? You mean the thirteen vice-chairmen of the Spiritual Boat Association?" The face of the Saint Heir of Ye Xuan instantly turned pale.

The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave nodded slightly and said, "So, you understand what you need to do, right?"

With those words, the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave turned and left the room of the Saint Heir of Ye Xuan.

Inside the room, the Saint Heir of Ye Xuan stood there, his face alternating between shades of light and dark, but in the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

He knew he would never be able to outdo Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s strength alone was not something he could measure up against; and now Ye Xuan even recognized such a character—what could he use to compete with Ye Xuan?

In fact, this was only one aspect. If he knew that one of the thirteen vice-chairmen, Mo Gaoli, had actually already died at the hands of Ye Xuan, one wonders what thoughts would go through his mind.

This same scenario played out with the Saint Heirs of Spirit Vessel and Smoke Mist Holy Daughter.

After boarding their respective Spirit Boats, the Mountain Master of Smoke Mist Mountain and the Saint Master of the Saint Land of Spirit Residue all sought out their charges at the earliest opportunity, urging them to dissolve their enmity toward Ye Xuan.

If they continued to oppose Ye Xuan, they feared all three of their forces would be annihilated.

The people coming from the main headquarters of the Spiritual Boat Association were simply not to be trifled with.

Seeing the relationship between Elder He and Ye Xuan, they had already fallen into despair.

All three forces resolved that they would no longer provoke Ye Xuan in the future.

As for today’s loss of face, they could only accept it.

And the matter of a joint alliance was naturally not brought up again.

Although Ye Xuan knew people from the Spiritual Boat Association.

But after entering the Southern Ghost Tomb, let alone people from the Spiritual Boat Association, even those from the East Desolate Mo Family would be out of reach.

Then it would be every man for himself.

So many people came from the Emperor Immortal Sect, and they did not believe that Ye Xuan could create any miracles.

Let this trip to the Southern Ghost Tomb serve as a lesson for that guy, Ye Xuan.

Best case scenario, of course, would be if he died inside.

That way, the Emperor Immortal Sect would not think about competing with them for resources.

After all, the Tianqing Mountain Range had always belonged to the three great forces, and now with the rise of the Emperor Immortal Sect vying with them for cultivation resources, this naturally meant their own resources would decrease.

Although they wouldn’t say anything openly, in secret, they fervently hoped Ye Xuan would just go die right now.

At this moment.

Aboard the High-Grade Spirit Boat.

Elder He had sent Steward Wang off to take his punishment, while he himself kept following behind Ye Xuan, willingly being a dog.

After that incident, the Spiritual Boat Association was on high alert.

As for Ye Xuan, they had conducted a thorough investigation, but they could not find out who was behind Ye Xuan at all.

Just the ancestors of the Emperor Immortal Sect alone definitely could not possess such terrifying strength.

So they speculated that Ye Xuan’s background was even more frightening than they had imagined.

Even the chairman himself had issued an order, absolutely not to provoke Ye Xuan, and if Ye Xuan came to the Spiritual Boat Association, he must be treated with the utmost courtesy.

And it must be the highest standard of courtesy!

As for Elder He, who had witnessed the terrifying extent of his own experience, he now naturally tried hard to make amends while receiving Ye Xuan.

"You don’t need to follow me, just safely escort us to the Southern Ghost Tomb," Ye Xuan said, seeing that Elder He was always following behind him.

"If the young master has any orders, just command; I shall not bother the young master any further," said Elder He, not daring to disobey, as he bowed and withdrew.

"Hmm, go ahead."

Ye Xuan waved his hand.

After Elder He had left.

Mu Baicheng arrived and straightforwardly said, "Regarding the matter of the Southern Ghost Tomb, I will give everyone a brief overview. You should listen in as well."

"Okay," Ye Xuan did not refuse and followed Mu Baicheng onto the deck.

All the people had gathered on the deck, their faces full of anticipation and excitement.

Seeing Ye Xuan and Mu Baicheng arrive, everyone stood up.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

"Greetings, Supreme Elder."

Mu Baicheng nodded slightly.

Ye Xuan then walked to the front of the crowd and sat down next to Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi.

Seeing everyone assembled, Mu Baicheng didn’t waste words and began to explain the details about the Southern Ghost Tomb.

About the Southern Ghost Tomb, Mu Baicheng had entered it once when he was young and was somewhat familiar with some of its aspects.

"Inside the Southern Ghost Tomb, the most terrifying thing is the ghosts," said Mu Baicheng.

"Ghosts?"

Hearing this term, everyone was taken aback, and some of the more timid disciples showed signs of fear.

This thing is taboo.

"Ghost Tomb, Ghost Tomb, as the name suggests, it is the tomb of ghosts, so the most abundant thing inside is ghosts," Mu Baicheng explained.

"Ah? There really are ghosts?" Zhou Bingyi’s little face turned deathly pale with fright.

Mu Baicheng couldn’t help but smile and said, "Strictly speaking, they can’t actually be considered ghosts but are a kind of ancient spirit."

"These ancient spirits can interfere with one’s consciousness and judgment, some may harm lives, and others might drive people mad."

"In short, if you encounter a ghost, avoid it."

"Absolutely do not engage with them directly."

As he said this, Mu Baicheng’s face became grave.

"If it’s unavoidable and one must confront them head on, what should be done?" a female disciple timidly asked.

Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng solemnly said, "If it truly comes to that situation, then one must try their best to escape. If that’s not possible, then one can only die within..."

"Ah?!" This startling revelation scared many of the disciples.

Is the Southern Ghost Tomb really that dangerous?

However, many disciples felt a surge of excitement and eagerly asked, "Isn’t it said that there are many opportunities within the Ghost Tomb?"

Upon these words, some people’s complexions regained some color.

Yes, isn’t it said that within the Southern Ghost Tomb, opportunity and danger coexist?

If it is so dangerous, then there must be many opportunities.

Mu Baicheng nodded and said, "Indeed, there are many opportunities within."

Clang!

The next moment, a black long spear appeared out of thin air next to Mu Baicheng’s right hand with a sudden, fierce intent that burst forth, making one’s heart tremble, as if pulling them onto a battlefield!

Many disciples were shocked by the aura, their faces turning pale, overwhelmed by its power.

"Honestly, this Black God Spear of mine was obtained from within the Ghost Tomb, and I also acquired a top-tier Spear Technique," Mu Baicheng said with a sense of reminiscence.

These were his experiences from his youth.

In the blink of an eye, he was now full of white hair.

In that moment, Mu Baicheng was slightly lost in thought.

But soon after, Mu Baicheng regained his focus and said, "Generally speaking, within the Ghost Tomb, where there are ghosts, there are opportunities. The more ferocious the ghost, the greater the opportunity."

"Ah? But Supreme Elder, didn’t you just say if you meet a ghost, avoid it? If we avoid them, how can we seize the opportunities?" a disciple asked, confused.

Hearing this, Mu Baicheng smiled and, holding the Black God Spear, said, "That will depend on one’s response in the moment and their fortune."

"When I obtained this Black God Spear, it was a matter of life and death for me."

This left many disciples looking at each other in dismay.

In other words, the dangers are immense, but the opportunities are not guaranteed.

It seems that the Southern Ghost Tomb is not like what one would imagine—a place where opportunities abound.

But on second thought, that’s right. If there were opportunities everywhere in the Southern Ghost Tomb, wouldn’t the cultivators from those powerful factions in the Southern Domain become invincible?

"There’s something wrong with your Black God Spear..."

At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly spoke up.

Everyone looked towards Ye Xuan with some puzzlement.

Mu Baicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about the Black God Spear?"

"That’s right." Ye Xuan’s gaze never strayed from Mu Baicheng’s Black God Spear.

This Black God Spear has a big problem!
