Chapter 1417: Chapter 1421 Ghost Villa

During these three days, Ling Xiao’s improvement was limited, but Shangguan Hong, thanks to Ling Xiao’s help, had a breakthrough.

Not only did his cultivation level rise rapidly, but his various battle techniques also became increasingly proficient.

It must be said that Shangguan Hong is a genius too. Although he is not as good as Ling Xiao, he is certainly top-tier on the Divine Phoenix Continent.

Not long ago, he had just broken through the Second Cave Heaven Realm, and after several deadly battles, he gained immensely.

His cultivation now faintly shows signs of breaking through again, lacking only a little opportunity.

Every day, thousands of people arrive at the Holy Dynasty’s Immortal Island, either for tourism or commerce, so Ling Xiao and Shangguan Hong would not attract much attention.

After they got on the island, Ling Xiao released the battle wolf from the Beast Ring, and then the two spent nearly a shichen to reach the edge of the Primitive Jungle.

The towering Black Volcano was very conspicuous.

"That volcano doesn’t seem right."

Ling Xiao looked at the Black Volcano. Smoke was spewing from the crater, accompanied by eerie loud noises, as if it might erupt again at any moment.

"The Black Volcano has been like this for the past year. The granny taking care of my junior sister has sent messages urging me to find a way quickly, or Ghost Villa might be destroyed, and my junior sister would be in grave danger."

"It’s quite something that someone dares to take care of your junior sister at Ghost Villa. That person is treating you well."

Ling Xiao commented.

"That person was saved once by my Master, and later has been responsible for sending eggs and goat milk to our sect. It can be said that without Rainbow Manor, her whole family probably would have starved."

Shangguan Hong said, "This person appreciates the sect’s kindness, so she is willing to send food and drink to my junior sister every day, allowing me to extricate myself to study in the Phoenix God Empire. After all, the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island wouldn’t consider a martial artist of my level."

"They clearly misjudged. Although your previous cultivation level wasn’t impressive, your aptitude is not bad."

Ling Xiao said.

"No, they disdain me because the young martial artists on the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island all have strong aptitudes."

Shangguan Hong shook his head.

"Seeing only from a limited perspective."

Ling Xiao mockingly said, "The Five Immortal Islands have probably been isolated for too long, focusing only on internal strife. Although I have never been to any island among the Five Immortal Islands, this is the first time I come to the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island, but I’ve met people like Dan Qing, Yue Tian Ya, and Sword Demon.

Their aptitude is no better than yours."

"Thanks for thinking highly of me, Brother Ling."

Shangguan Hong felt very pleased; wouldn’t you be happy to be praised like this?

"Let’s not talk about these things. Let’s set out."

Ling Xiao glanced at the Black Volcano, billowing with black smoke, estimating that he might be lucky this time.

With such phenomena, something special is bound to happen.

Although these things may not be safe for him, it’s worth the risk.

"Mm."

Shangguan Hong nodded, following behind Ling Xiao.

"After reaching Ghost Villa, I’ll help you rescue your junior sister, and then you both can leave first. I’ll go alone to the crater of Black Volcano."

Ling Xiao said as he traveled.

"Brother Ling, you should think twice. I wasn’t lying to you; the Primitive Jungle on this Holy Dynasty Immortal Island is no less perilous than the Fulong Mountain Range on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, filled with dangers where even Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists don’t dare to claim they can enter safely."

Shangguan Hong reminded.

"I know. If it weren’t dangerous, I wouldn’t want to come."

Ling Xiao possesses a natural adventurous spirit.

The more important reason, of course, is that here he might boost his cultivation level once again.

Given that the whole Divine Phoenix Continent is now in turmoil, with hidden forces surging, Ling Xiao has made countless enemies.

Peacock Clan, Roc Clan, Righteous Qi Alliance’s Jardine Clan, Phoenix Immeasurable, Elder Council, Righteous Qi Court, Penglai Fairy Island, etc.

His enemies are not weak.

Even though his cultivation level isn’t low now and his strength among peers is absolutely top-notch.

He is still surrounded by dangers.

He needs higher cultivation, stronger strength.

Though helping Shangguan Hong rescue his junior sister is one reason, more importantly, it’s because of the legend of the Ancient Golden Crow here.

Cultivation is endless, especially since he is still far from reaching the peak.

The Sword Dao has just entered the realm of Heavy Sword without Edge, not yet reaching the top-tier of aptitude.

Although he has perceived the unique state of Control Heaven and Earth, it is extremely unstable and requires more effort to get familiar with and maintain this state.

If he can maintain it for long periods, he will handle even formidable enemies with ease.

...

Ghost Villa is viewed as a terrifying restricted area, but recently quite a few people have come here.

When Ling Xiao and Shangguan Hong reached the entrance of Ghost Villa, they saw that the manor’s gate had already been sealed.

Several martial artists guarded there, looking vigilant.

A woman in her fifties was pacing tens of meters away from the manor’s gate, appearing very nervous.

"Granny Lin, why are you here? What has happened at the manor?"

Seeing her, Shangguan Hong walked over.

From his words, Ling Xiao could infer that this person was the one responsible for bringing food and drink to Shangguan Hong’s junior sister here.

"Oh, Young Master Shangguan, you’re back finally, something big happened."

"What happened?"

"They sealed the Ghost Villa, and I can’t get in at all. It’s already the third day, and I’m really afraid that Miss Ling’er might be in trouble."

Granny Lin was so anxious she was about to cry.

"Bastards!"

Glancing at the guards at the door, though they were strong, they were merely Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. If anything happened to his junior sister, he would tear them apart.

"Granny Lin, give me the meals; you go home first. I’ve brought powerful help this time, and we will certainly rescue my junior sister. You won’t have to trouble yourself anymore."

He turned around, speaking with a softer voice.

Granny Lin looked suspiciously at Ling Xiao, doubting if such a young man is really the powerful help?

Ling Xiao smiled but did not speak. As Shangguan Hong and Granny Lin were conversing, he already headed towards Ghost Villa.

"Stop!"

The martial artists at the gate shouted loudly.

"Move aside!"

Ling Xiao said calmly, "Or you’ll get hurt."

"Hahaha, this kid’s gone crazy, hasn’t he? Get lost quickly; Ghost Villa is ours, the Giant Whale Sect’s now. If you want to enter, it’ll cost ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones."

The leading martial artist laughed loudly, evidently not taking Ling Xiao seriously.

"Giant Whale Sect? The same sect that leaked information to Zongyu Huangquan, sealing the escape route of our Rainbow Manor?"

At this moment, Shangguan Hong also approached, his violent anger surging as he struck out with a palm, the seven-colored light dazzling, turning the living guards at the gate into corpses.

"Another Cave Heaven Realm expert!"

The martial artists nearby about to enter Ghost Villa were all taken aback seeing Shangguan Hong strike.

Unexpectedly, this small Ghost Villa, in its prosperous times, only had one Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist, who was the Sect Master; now it’s destroyed, yet several Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists have visited successively.
