C417 – The Female Ghost Came
After much thought with no clear solution, Jiang Hao decided to stop dwelling on it.
Yet, despite this, he harbored no fear of her.
He would wait for nightfall to address everything.
Upon returning home with the Old Master, Jiang Hao took special care to prepare a medicinal meal to replenish the elder’s depleted Qi and blood.
He also entrusted the Dugu Jiujian to the Old Master.
That night, Jiang Hao lay in the testing room, silently awaiting the female ghost’s arrival.
Even with Jiang Hao present, the Old Master couldn’t shake his nerves.
The supernatural was unpredictable, and not to be taken lightly.
As the long wait neared midnight, a breeze stirred, and a mist began to thicken.
?Suddenly, Jiang Hao’s eyes snapped open.
His keen spiritual perception detected a disturbance in the courtyard.
Simultaneously, a chilling presence drew near, provoking an involuntary response from the Confucianism and Taoism energies within him.
Jiang Hao was certain the female ghost had come.
But to avoid startling her prematurely, he suppressed his internal energies’ reaction.
Quietly, he rose and peered out the window.
Indeed, a woman in white was making her way toward the Old Master’s room.
Ghosts had an acute sense of human scent.
To them, a martial cultivator’s robust blood essence was like a blazing fire, impossible to miss.
And while this fire instilled deep fear, it also held an irresistible allure.
Sun Yunfaang gazed at the Old Master with eager eyes, sensing that devouring the old man would allow her to break through her constraints at last.
But just then, she felt an overwhelming, almost palpable threat.
With no hesitation, she spun around, her heart pounding with shock.
Somehow, a young man had appeared not far behind her.
He watched her with a curious intensity, as if deeply fascinated.
Yet she was supposed to be invisible, not physically manifested!
To her astonishment, the young man wielded a bronze sword, and from it, Sun Yunfaang sensed a lethal threat.
What truly shocked her was how this young man had managed to stand behind her without her noticing. Ghosts are known for their acute sensitivity to the presence of the living, yet she had detected nothing from him. He seemed to have no aura whatsoever, as if he were no more than an inanimate object.
But she was a ghost; how could she fail to recognize one of her own kind? This man lacked not only the vitality that marked the living but also the Yin Qi characteristic of ghosts. There could be only one explanation: he was a master, one adept at concealing his every trace of aura.
Sun Yunfaang’s face took on a grave expression. Meanwhile, Jiang Hao was taken aback. To his perception, this ghost was far stronger than Bai Yu. And unlike Bai Yu, this female ghost carried a wisp of dark Qi that instinctively repulsed him.
In the brief silence that followed, Sun Yunfaang made up her mind. If she didn’t flee now, when would she? Whether or not she could best this man was irrelevant; the mere presence of the bronze sword he wielded posed an immense threat to her. In the face of such uncertainty, a strategic retreat was essential.
Having resolved to escape, Sun Yunfaang turned and swiftly dissipated towards the outside. Jiang Hao watched the female ghost make her escape and promptly gave chase. He had no desire to engage in a battle here, for it would surely draw the attention of his family, and that was a situation he’d rather avoid explaining.
