The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World - Chapter 503
Chapter 503: Chapter 301: Star Lodging Sect, Three Enclosures and Four Symbols
“Do you know anything about the ghost creature I just killed?”
A bemused expression danced across Feng Qing’an’s face. It was strange enough to see a human in the capital city of Donghuang, not to mention this human knew more about the Ghost Town than he did, a genuine king’s consort. Furthermore, the man even had knowledge about the evil ghost Feng Qing’an slew upon entering, this was preposterous.
“Of course, I know. The fierce ghost you killed was the nineteenth son of the Guiltless Ghost King. All of his divine abilities manifested in his nose. He smelt a living human on you.”
The bloodshot-eyed ghost girl, clad in cyan, face pale and eyes bulging like a dead fish, emanated an unsightly, gory aura as she recounted the identity of the ghost creature that Feng Qing’an had casually slain.
Feng Qing’an looked at her with a subtle gaze. This disguise of hers was unable to trick his sharp eyes.
He could see that underneath the facade of the ugly ghost girl was a beautiful blonde young lady in her late teens. Her charming rollicking eyes, arched eyebrows, fair skin, and beautiful face revealed a vitality that was both lively and agile.
The young girl’s attire was sharp and efficient, an aspect that was refreshing at first glance. Feng Qing’an had never seen such a splendid and agile temperament before.
What caught his attention though, was the enormous vitality within her frail-looking body, as invigorating as Jun Yan, that couldn’t be outmatched.
[Eighth Soul Contract: Jun Yan]
[Race: Heavenly Demon White Tiger]
[Attributes: Heaven, Demon, God, Spirit, Beast]
[Potential Level: Emperor·Supreme]
[Combat Level: Lord·Inferior]
Being able to rival the descendant of the White Tiger who had regained its grandiose demon abilities, her physique’s strength and vitality were unique just like her temperament. It was indeed Feng Qing’an’s first experience encountering a martial artist at the young girl’s level.
An equivalent to the Immortal Way’s Exuvia Realm is the Martial Arts’ Mixed Element Realm. Above that lies the Divine Elixir Realm. Despite having met Mixed Element martial artists, none were on par with the young girl before him; the difference was like that between heaven and earth.
Although he couldn’t exactly guess the girl’s age just from her aura like those experienced cultivators could, he could still sense that she was very young compared to her skill level from her lively aura.
With an initial interaction, Feng Qing’an determined that the girl standing right before his eyes had an extraordinarily unusual background. Suddenly he felt intrigued. For a being of the human race to meet on Donghuang’s territory was an exciting occurrence indeed.
“You knew all of this?”
Although he couldn’t verify the blonde girl’s words, Feng Qing’an felt that she wasn’t lying to him.
“I have been hiding in this ghost city for half a month now. If even this much information was unknown to me, then it would be a disgrace to the Star Lodging Sect.”
The girl stated nonchalantly, while Feng Qing’an caught on to the key point in her words.
“Star Lodging Sect?”
“What? Don’t you recognize me? Your eyes should be able to see through my disguise. I can feel it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be looking at me this way. I know how terrible this ghost skin I’ve pinched is.”
The girl wearing ghost skin pointed at herself with well-earned pride. The sparkling and vigorous posture made Feng Qing’an more interested, but he had to admit,
“I don’t know you or the Star Lodging Sect. This is the first time I’ve heard of them.”
Recognizing what is known and acknowledging what is unknown is wisdom.
Since he knew nothing about it and hadn’t heard about it before, there was no need to pretend otherwise. It would only make him a subject of ridicule. Feng Qing’an wisely confessed.
“Where’d you come from? Such a country bumpkin that you haven’t heard of the Star Lodging Sect. So you must not know about my great reputation as Hua Qingyu either?”
The girl asked with a hint of regret, but she was not ready to give up yet.
“He didn’t come in with us, naturally, he wouldn’t know about the illustrious Hua Qingyu, fifth in line for the real inheritance of the Star Lodging Sect.”
Before Feng Qing’an could answer, a light and floating voice sounded. From thin air, there was a flash of dim light, and an eerie aura abruptly came into Feng Qing’an’s perception.
“You didn’t come with us?”
Hearing the words of the newcomer, Hua Qingyu was startled, and quickly released Feng Qing’an’s hand she had been holding. The petite face under the monstrous female ghost mask showed a hint of vigilance. However, it only appeared for a moment before it dissipated,
“Nevermind, it doesn’t make any difference. What matters is, I didn’t bring back a ghost but a living being like us.”
“The living people you encounter in this place could be scarier than the omnipresent ghosts.”
The abrupt entrant flickered in and out of sight. Even as Feng Qing’an cast his eyes in their direction, as long as there was more than a breath of gaze, the figure would vanish from under his eyelids and reappear anywhere around him. After shuffling positions several times in quick succession, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but sigh.
All he had to do was shift his gaze slightly, but this figure moved tirelessly around him, with the intent to evade and avoid his gaze, not wanting to be seen.
“Scary? I think he’s rather pleasing to the eyes.”
Hua Qingyu crossed her arms. No distinctive bumps were noticeable on the barren land which made Feng Qing’an unintentionally sympathetic, even doubtful if this blonde girl before him was actually a young boy with a feminine appearance.
