Chapter 478: 241 Enhancing Strength

Actually, at this moment, Ghost Mask held great perplexity in his heart.

Bai Xiao indeed had a significant suspicion, but, it wasn’t without other possibilities. Because when the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall was attacked, the intruders moved too quickly and fiercely, killing all the witnesses. The surviving witnesses couldn’t confirm the identity of the intruder, only knowing that this person was very strong.

So, is there a possibility?

That the person came specifically for the Void Crystal, but the Void Crystal was the latest product researched by the Evil Ghost Court, and this person knew the Evil Ghost Court very well.

Perhaps, the intruder was an original enemy of the Evil Ghost Court. And the attack on the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall was just because they obtained the crystal, encountering unwarranted disaster.

Or, the intruder was someone from within the Evil Ghost Court itself, as there are different factions within the court. Different factions have different stands and interests regarding supporting the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall. One faction supports the martial arts hall, while another opposes it from the shadows.

This situation is also very possible.

Therefore, Ghost Mask couldn’t hastily conclude that it was Bai Xiao’s doing.

He needed to investigate for quite some time, to rule out other possibilities.

"Fortunately, besides the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall, there are still a few Void Crystals stored at other strongholds. Otherwise, Si Yu might really fall out of the Extreme Realm..."

Ghost Mask’s gaze was profound, his expression gloomy and heavy.

He pondered for a moment, then looked down again at the corpse of Ye Feng, Number Five.

After a half-minute of silence, Ghost Mask turned around and walked towards the outside of the dojo.

"It’s time to tell Feng Xun and Xie Yang about the cooperation with the Evil Ghost Court. After all, the Eastern Dark World martial arts competition has already begun..."

He quietly considered, deciding that either Feng Xun or Xie Yang will take over Ye Feng’s responsibilities, handling communication with the Evil Ghost Court. Meanwhile, the other one would stay at the Crimson Ghost Face Organization, which is the future resource depot for the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall. Feng Xun is the second-ranked figure in the organization, and Xie Yang is the third, both are secret martial artists with great potential and ability, also very loyal and devoted.

As the future pillars of the martial arts hall, Ghost Mask was very reassured.

His thoughts shifted, and he strode out of the broken entrance of the martial arts hall, with the cool moonlight shining on his face. Ghost Mask reached up, gently pressing on his mask.

The mysterious purple glow of the mask flickered eerily, rippling like waves.

"It’s been a long time since I last fed."

"Suitable food for the Fear Secret Technique is really too scarce..."

"Since I created the Crimson Ghost Face, I’ve only encountered three."

"I must speed up the establishment of the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall, to sift through more food on a grand scale. The path of evolution cannot stop... I must rise above others!"

"Tap tap tap..."

The deep sound of footsteps gradually vanished into the distant shadows.

...

On the other side, at Hanhai Hotel.

A tall figure quickly walked in through the door, moving very fast.

Although the step frequency was ordinary, in a few strides, he swept across the entire hotel lobby like the wind. The lobby receptionist was bewildered, and the person’s figure disappeared as if the prior moment was an illusion. The elevator began to operate, the indicator lights lit up one floor after another, until it reached the fourth floor of the hotel.

Bai Xiao picked up his room card, entering his own room.

He reached out to turn on the light, then silently took out his spoils from his bosom.

Four crystals as dazzling and clear as diamonds.

Each about the size of a thumbnail cap, perfectly rhomboid, each naturally formed facet was exceptionally smooth, reflecting magnificent light under the lamp. If observed closely, it appeared as if there were a sort of fog-like, invisible fluid swirling inside the crystal-like interior, constantly gathering and dispersing.

Mysterious vibrations looped, over and over.

Indeed, the one who raided the Ghost Face Organization and charged into the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall was Bai Xiao. He obtained one Void Crystal from the former and found three Void Crystals from the latter. Unfortunately, Ghost Mask did not reveal more information during his talk with Si Yu, otherwise, Bai Xiao could have continued his raid.

"Can it significantly nourish and enhance a Martial Artist’s Void Energy?"

Bai Xiao pinched one of the crystals between his thumbs, lifting it slightly.

As it turned, strains of half-visible misty air wriggled through the air like pythons, eventually being inhaled through Bai Xiao’s nostrils. Instantly, he felt the cells in his body’s flesh being activated, like dry land thirsting for rain, greedily absorbing this energy.

A few seconds later, Bai Xiao actually felt his body’s Void Energy becoming slightly fuller, with a visible improvement.

"It really does have this effect..."

His eyes flickered with amazement: "I wonder, by what means did the Evil Ghost Court manufacture such pure and clean Void Crystals..."

This batch was very pure!

Bai Xiao fell silent for a moment, then gathered the four Void Crystals.

He then entered the bathroom, took a quick shower, and after changing into clean clothes, sat down on the carpet by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bai Xiao didn’t continue studying the Void Crystals, but instead thought about Ghost Mask’s side. The Ghost Mask Organization was cooperating with the Evil Ghost Court and could also obtain precious resources like Void Crystals, reportedly with more to follow. Bai Xiao thought it important to grasp the immediate information within the Ghost Mask Organization; fortunately, he had already taken control of Feng Xun and Xie Yang, number two and three in the Crimson Ghost Face Organization.

Next, perhaps he could have these two attempt to show further loyalty to Ghost Mask. In the long run, they should be able to gain more trust and reutilization.
