Chapter 2458 - 1429
Lai Jianlin didn’t notice Huang Chen during the battle.
It wasn’t that his abilities weren’t enough, nor were their abilities insufficient.
Even though they had trained and obtained a Divine Artifact in some places.
The Divine Artifact Lai Jianlin obtained wasn’t for dealing with ghosts, and now during the battle with these ghosts, some demons occasionally appear among them.
Their team had help from a Spiritual Pet, setting up a formation that completely protected them.
They didn’t have spells to neutralize the ghosts, but their Spiritual Pet could emit a formation of Golden Light that would make the ghosts sizzle when they touched it, leaving a charred smell.
Though ghosts are intangible, these Ghost Cultivators were different, possessing bodies or nearly-formed souls.
The abilities of these Ghost Cultivators had already reached a level comparable to Lai Jianlin’s.
If it weren’t for the Spiritual Pet’s help, their team wouldn’t have been so formidable.
Ding Ling experienced for the first time, the process of battling with ghosts.
Maybe it was because of her lack of experience, having few opportunities to train outside of the Immortal Sect in the past.
In recent years, during training, she’d encountered demons and demonic beasts.
Ding Ling felt fortunate that her abilities had improved; otherwise, she would’ve been a burden.
In this team, she wasn’t the weakest, but she was close to it.
Lai Jianlin continuously protected her, and she displayed her own abilities.
Before nightfall, they had already prepared, knowing they’d confront ghosts, they crafted some Talismans.
They were specifically meant for demons and ghosts.
Lai Jianlin’s team didn’t notice Huang Chen because his Magical Treasure blended with the night.
It completely concealed Huang Chen, the breath of this ghost.
Lai Jianlin, currently in battle, surrounded by some formidable ghosts, released more ghosts, and those demon cultivators took the opportunity to break in.
Black smoke was everywhere, a red moon in the sky, its red light obscured by the thick black fog.
Perhaps that’s why Lai Jianlin’s team didn’t notice Huang Chen, because of the chaos surrounding them, battling fierce ghosts, while Huang Chen was deliberately masking his aura, avoiding battles; they simply didn’t notice him!
Huang Chen harbored resentment in his heart, unwilling to be discovered, he drifted through the night.
Dare he be noticed by a human cultivator?
Dare he mingle with those ghosts?
Originally, during these years in the Magical Treasure, he had been silently hiding his aura.
He had no choice but to stay low-key, being in his enemy’s Magical Treasure, how could he dare to act recklessly?
The Artifact Spirit of the Hell Palace still followed its master, and its master was his enemy.
At the slightest disturbance, when Huang Chen had any thoughts, they would be known to the Artifact Spirit of the Hell Palace, leading to retribution against him.
He hasn’t forgotten how his master died.
Even though his master died, it was deserved.
Who told his master to snatch his Magical Treasure?
Knowing well that he needed protection in this Magical Treasure and still seizing it, did he want him to be devoured by a stronger soul in the Hell Palace?
Huang Chen resented his master, resented his enemy.
In solitude, he sometimes reminisced about the past, wondering how he offended Jiang Tang.
Was it because he was greedy?
Who’s not greedy?
Jiang Tang, someone without a background, whose other clansmen were wiped out by his master, was incredibly lucky to have acquired Spiritual Fire.
Furthermore, those Magical Treasures and flying apparatus he held were things Huang Chen had never obtained.
How did a nobody with no background obtain such things?
He resented the unfair heavens for granting Jiang Tang, that nobody, such luck.
He admired him but seeing Jiang Tang living so carefree and with such strength, he didn’t even dare to show his face.
Jiang Tang was once defeated by him but rose to become a deity.
Huang Chen was, of course, unwilling in his heart and cursed the unfair heavens.
The small world of the Hell Palace wasn’t enough for Huang Chen to vent his grievances.
Some thoughts only lingered in the shadows.
Now, Huang Chen was living in a miserable way, his enemy didn’t even want to deal with this weak ghost of low capacity.
Or perhaps his enemy, upon initially encountering him, intended to play tricks on him.
Huang Chen recalled, when he first became a ghost, meeting Jiang Tang in this Magical Treasure.
At that time, Jiang Tang’s abilities were merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
What miraculous cultivation techniques were there in the cultivation world?
Or how did Jiang Tang acquire those miraculous cultivation techniques to become a deity within years?
Didn’t they say becoming an immortal was no longer possible?
Every time Huang Chen saw Jiang Tang arrive, Jiang Tang’s abilities would have significantly enhanced.
Upon discovering Lai Jianlin, although possessing an attacking Magical Treasure, he dared not make a move.
He could sense an aura, and perhaps that aura was of his enemy; apart from Jiang Tang, it could only be Su Chang’an.
Huang Chen quickly drifted away, then encountered Luo Yaxuan’s team.
Most members of Luo Yaxuan’s team had abilities similar to those of Lai Jianlin’s team, except for a certain woman whose abilities were slightly weaker.
Earlier, Huang Chen noticed Lai Jianlin protecting a woman during the battle, she was also a woman.
Had the opponent already settled down?
Luo Yaxuan was also settled.
Not knowing the backgrounds of their wives, apart from family members, it was just that woman alone.
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan didn’t seem to have high demands, did they?
Of all people, they chose partners without any background.
Huang Chen thought of this, and his previous happiness turned to gloom.
In the past, he had at least been with women; these years, being cooped up in the Hell Palace, alone in the Magical Treasure was indeed lonely.
