Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 397 - 397 396 Ghost Manor

397: Chapter 396: Ghost Manor 397: Chapter 396: Ghost Manor Lin Xuan unleashed the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword, and the incident of the Short Sword breaking was also noticed by Yi Qianxing, which is why he made such a remark now.

“A Half Spirit-grade Treasure Sword?” Lin Xuan felt a flicker of interest in his heart.

Indeed, a Half Spirit-grade Treasure was extraordinary; at the very least, for him at the present moment.

If he came into possession of such a treasure, his strength could greatly increase once more.

“Since it’s just taking a look, if it’s truly dangerous, I can just decline at that time,” Lin Xuan thought to himself.

“Alright,” he nodded, “But I can’t promise that Little White will wake up by then.”

“No problem.

If it truly cannot awaken, it means we are not fated to obtain that item,” Yi Qianxing said with a smile.

After that, he led Lin Xuan towards the suburbs of the city.

In the eastern region of Black Feather City.

In front of a quiet mountain villa, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the utterly dark walls and feeling a hint of Yin Energy’s chill.

Looking up, he saw a plaque above the gate with four characters written on it, Ghost Manor.

“Brother Yi isn’t taking me to Hell, is he?” Lin Xuan said half-jokingly.

“How could that be?

Although this place is somewhat strange, I dare to guarantee Brother Lin’s safety with my life,” Yi Qianxing replied.

Lin Xuan, being both skilled and brave, and with guidance from a mysterious expert like Lord of Wine, was not overly fearful of the Ghost Manor.

With a slight smile, he quickly walked inside.

Seeing Lin Xuan’s calm and composed expression, Yi Qianxing was secretly astonished.

This place was notorious for its horror in Black Feather City.

Even those who didn’t know about it would probably be too frightened to enter, just from feeling the aura.

Yet, Lin Xuan walked in directly without a trace of fear.

After entering the Ghost Manor, Lin Xuan scanned around, sensing that the Yin Energy inside was even denser.

Fortunately, he possessed the Great Dragon Sword Intent, which could extinguish everything, so he did not fear such things.

“Eh?

This place is not simple.

Be careful.

I’m sensing some special aura,” Lord of Wine communicated telepathically.

“Special aura?” Lin Xuan was puzzled.

“The surface of this Ghost Manor doesn’t seem like much, but there’s something very unusual beneath it.

It seems like something is sealed?”

“Is it very dangerous?” Lin Xuan asked.

“Dangerous, yes.

However, danger often comes hand in hand with opportunity.

It depends on whether you can seize it or not,” Lord of Wine said.

“Since I’m here, let’s have a look,” Lin Xuan did not intend to leave immediately.

Yi Qianxing led the way, and before long, a series of buildings appeared ahead.

These buildings were completely dark, with some peculiar patterns on them.

The entire complex was eerily empty, as if there was not a soul around.

Click-clack!

One of the doors opened, and a cold wind blew out from within.

Indeed, the scene was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and used his Pupil Skill to look inside.

“Welcome to Ghost Manor,” a voice rang out, slightly mechanical and cold.

Following that, a completely black Iron Man walked out.

His body was somewhat stiff, and the sound of metal grinding could be heard as he walked.

“What is this?” Lin Xuan was puzzled; he sensed no flesh and blood within the iron, only cold metallic parts.

“Oh, this is a Puppet crafted by Master Ghost.

You can call him Black Iron Man,” Yi Qianxing explained.

“Black Iron Man, Master Ghost?” Lin Xuan was even more curious.

“The owner of this mountain villa is called Master Ghost; he is an Artifact Refining Master.

He likes to create metal Puppets to assist him and serve as servants.”

“I see.

No wonder there’s no one in the entire villa,” Lin Xuan understood.

“Go inform Master Ghost that we have arrived,” Yi Qianxing told the Black Iron Man.

Soon after, the Black Iron Man briskly left.

Lin Xuan was quite interested in the Black Iron Men; they had no flesh and blood yet could walk like humans and understand simple commands, which was truly magical.

“What’s so magical about that?

It’s just the simplest form of Puppet Technique.

The core technology is still the Engraving Array Formation,” Lord of Wine said disdainfully.

Not long after, a dry-haired old man floated over, ghostlike and without a sound.

Moreover, his whole body was dry and thin, with desiccated skin clinging to his bones, much like a skeleton.

Luckily, Lin Xuan was courageous and did not cry out.

Yi Qianxing, on the other hand, seemed used to it and respectfully said, “Greetings, Elder Ghost.”

“Hmm, Little Yizi, why have you brought such a young kid here?” Master Ghost looked at Lin Xuan, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

“Elder Ghost, this Young Hero Lin’s Spirit Beast is extraordinarily fast and might be able to help us,” Yi Qianxing said.

“Is this the kid you were talking about?” Master Ghost turned to look at Lin Xuan, with eyes gleaming like ghost fire, flickering incessantly.

“Summon your Spirit Beast for me to see,” Master Ghost commanded authoritatively, leaving no room for doubt.

“Little White is currently in deep slumber; now is not the time,” Lin Xuan shook his head in refusal.

“Elder Ghost, Mr.

Lin’s Spirit Beast might be evolving.

Perhaps we could wait a bit longer.”

Yi Qianxing, aware of Master Ghost’s temper, hurried to explain.

“Fine, Little Yizi, I’ll take your word for it this time.

But if this kid doesn’t bring out something when the time comes, don’t blame me for wringing his neck!”

Elder Ghost snorted coldly and drifted away like a specter once more.

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly; Master Ghost seemed mysterious to others, but to him, there were no secrets at all.

This was because Lord of Wine inside him had already seen through everything.

“It’s rare to see a Martial Artist who cultivates ghost spirit type Cultivation Techniques,” Lord of Wine said with a hint of surprise.

“Kid, if he dares to make a move, directly blast him with Thunder,” Lord of Wine instructed.

“Young Hero Lin, would you like to stay here for a few days?”

“That would be fine.”

Lin Xuan nodded.

He was curious about this place and prepared to explore it.

Thus, Lin Xuan stayed.

Three days later, the Snow White Monkey awoke.

Though it looked no different from before, Lin Xuan felt that the Snow White Monkey had changed.

And its speed had increased, so much so that even he could not accurately perceive it.

The Snow White Monkey affectionately rubbed Lin Xuan’s face, then pointed to the ground, looking very excited.

“Is there a treasure underground?” Lin Xuan was used to this by now.

The Snow White Monkey nodded enthusiastically, appearing very anxious.

Don’t worry, you’ll have your chance to perform, Lin Xuan said with a smile and a scolding tone.

Finally, he went to Yi Qianxing and informed him about the Snow White Monkey’s awakening.

He also agreed to help with the treasure hunting.

Yi Qianxing was thrilled and immediately contacted Master Ghost.

However, Master Ghost said to wait a bit, as there was a mysterious important figure arriving.

Lin Xuan didn’t mind this; an extra day or two was of no consequence to him.

Moreover, he could use this time to further strengthen his Mental Realm of Wind.

While Lin Xuan stayed in Ghost Manor, the other powers in Black Feather City were all stirred.
