Chapter 54

The name Ye Feng was like a venomous thorn to Liu Tianlong, a thorn embedded in his flesh that could not be removed no matter what.

However, Liu Tianlong was not yet certain if this Ye Feng was the same Ye Feng who had sent his son to death row. He needed further verification from Hao Jian. If it was indeed the same Ye Feng, it would mean that he and Hao Jian had a common enemy.

When Hao Jian and Zhao Chunnan arrived, out of breath and in a hurry, after a series of verifications, Liu Tianlong finally confirmed that this Ye Feng was indeed the one who had sent his son to death row. He was around the same age, in his mid-twenties, a small figure working at the bottom of society, and a fair-skinned young man.

With this judgment, it was almost certain.

Meanwhile, Hao Jian had never expected that the person who had sent Mayor Liu's son, Liu Yong, to death row was also Ye Feng.

The two men did not say much to each other, but they were already united in their hatred.

Afterward, they each detailed their requests to Master Ghost Wolf.

Next, it would depend on Master Ghost Wolf's attitude.

If Master Ghost Wolf refused to act, they would have no way to deal with Ye Feng, who knew secret techniques.

Some people, some matters, were not something that could be handled with money and power.

Master Ghost Wolf remained silent for a long time, his expression as calm as an ancient well, but in his heart, a storm was raging. However, in front of Liu Tianlong, Hao Jian, and Zhao Chunnan, whom he saw as mere mortals, he could not show his shock.

He had never expected that in this city, there would be someone else from the Secret Realm.

Yes, in Master Ghost Wolf's mind, his first judgment and feeling were that Ye Feng was also someone from the Secret Realm.

But he did not know whether this young man named Ye Feng was a human cultivator, a ghost cultivator, a spirit cultivator, a demon cultivator, or a martial cultivator.

He was shocked because most cultivators in the Secret Realm did not have the ability to break through the barrier between the two worlds and come to this ordinary world.

Those who had the ability to break through the barrier were either the leaders of major sects in the Secret Realm or cultivators whose cultivation had reached the late-stage of the Core Formation realm, or mid-stage ghost cultivators.

But such major sects and such major cultivators were few and far between in the Secret Realm.

On the other hand, even if the cultivators in the Secret Realm had a way to come to this world, they would not want to, for a simple reason: this world was not suitable for most cultivators to cultivate.

There was no spiritual energy, no spirit stones, no heavenly materials or treasures. In the decades he had been in this world, he had not even encountered a single local cultivator.

Decades ago, when he broke through from the late-stage of the Ghost Dog realm to the early-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm in the Secret Realm, his ghost energy diverged, leading to a cultivation failure. Thinking he was about to disintegrate, in a panic, he swallowed an ancient jade he had taken from a human cultivator. As a ghost cultivator, he could directly use spiritual energy to cultivate, but he could not directly use spirit stones. To use spirit stones, he had to bury them in a yin point for forty-nine days, so that the spirit stones could be infused with yin energy, which could then be absorbed by a ghost cultivator.

But ancient jade was different. The biggest difference between ancient jade and spirit stones was that it could be used by humans, ghosts, spirits, and demons alike. Ancient jade contained a large amount of spiritual energy and was the second most valuable treasure in the Secret Realm, with one piece of ancient jade being equivalent to ten high-quality spirit stones.

After swallowing the ancient jade, the Ghost Wolf, under the impact of powerful spiritual energy, lost his mind and rampaged at the edge of the Secret Realm until his ghost energy was exhausted and he lost consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, he had already arrived in this world.

After arriving in this world, which had no spiritual energy, the Ghost Wolf was extremely fortunate to find a yin point with pure yin energy, which was the old Liu family residence.

Over the decades, the Ghost Wolf worked day and night to collect and absorb the soul energy of this world to slowly restore his ghost energy. Although he could not leave the yin point of the old Liu family residence due to his lack of a physical body, he could use various ghost cultivation techniques to control the recently deceased human bodies and send his ghost consciousness to control these zombie-like ghost slaves to collect soul energy for him.

Unfortunately, these dead ghost slaves could not serve him for long, and he had to make the most of them before they decayed.

Through these methods, over the decades, his cultivation had gradually recovered, and he had broken through to the mid-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm. Now, he was even on the verge of the late-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm.

Once his cultivation broke through to the late-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm, his physical body would become real, which meant he could leave the yin point of the old Liu family residence and use his ghost consciousness to find the path back to the Secret Realm, returning to the world that truly belonged to him.

After the late-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm came the Ghost Leopard realm. A ghost cultivator who could reach the Ghost Leopard realm was considered a highly cultivated ghost cultivator even in the Secret Realm. Facing cultivators below the late-stage of the Core Formation realm, a Ghost Leopard realm ghost cultivator could achieve a one-hit kill.

Ghost cultivators, from lowest to highest, were divided into Dog, Wolf, Leopard, Tiger, and Dragon. Dogs gather ghost energy, Wolves generate ghost consciousness, Leopards transform into human form, Tigers condense spirit consciousness, and at the Tiger realm, they could completely break free from the ghost cultivation path, becoming no different from human cultivators at the Core Formation realm. From Tiger to Dragon, they would have to undergo heavenly tribulations. Once they successfully passed and reached the Dragon realm, they could transcend the void and achieve immortality.

In the Secret Realm, there were many Ghost Dogs, a thousand Ghost Wolves, a hundred Ghost Leopards, ten Ghost Tigers, and as for Ghost Dragons, they were only a legend.

Since the last time he swallowed the large amount of ancient jade Hao Jian had brought, the Ghost Wolf's cultivation had greatly improved, and he was now on the verge of the late-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm. He needed to absorb and integrate a thousand points of soul energy, or more simply, to refine the souls of twenty living people, to break through to the late-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm.

Refining souls was only possible after reaching the mid-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm, and the current Ghost Wolf had just reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Ghost Wolf realm.

However, to refine the souls of living people, he needed to possess a living body with strong yin energy, as only those born on yin years, yin months, and yin days possessed strong yin energy. Such people should not be hard to find in this world.

This world, called Huaguo, had a mutual connection with the Secret Realm, not only in language but also in living customs and appearance. Why this was so, the Ghost Wolf could not understand, but one thing was certain: the birth dates of people born on yin years, yin months, and yin days in the Secret Realm and Huaguo should be the same.

Thus, finding someone born on a yin year, yin month, and yin day in Huaguo was not a difficult task.

Given that he did not have a physical body and could not go out to find a living person with strong yin energy, even if Liu Tianlong had not come to him today, he would have wanted to call Liu Tianlong again and ask him to find a person born on a yin year, yin month, and yin day as soon as possible.

As for the young man named Ye Feng, whom Liu Tianlong and Hao Jian had asked him to deal with, the Ghost Wolf did not know his cultivation level or whether he was truly a cultivator from the Secret Realm. If he was, he would not dare to act rashly, as cultivators who could come from the Secret Realm to this world were all terrifyingly powerful. If not, it would mean that this young man was just a local cultivator, whose cultivation would not be higher than his own.

At this moment, the Ghost Wolf opened his eyes and looked at the three mortals who still had some use for him, saying in a deep voice, "The person you mentioned, I need to first investigate his strength. I will send a few ghost slaves to follow you to meet this person. Rest assured, these ghost slaves have been altered in appearance, so there's no need to worry about being recognized. I will use the ghost slaves to investigate how powerful this young man named Ye Feng is."

At this point, the Ghost Wolf turned his gaze to Liu Tianlong and said, "Tianlong, I have another task for you. Find a man born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the twenty-eighth year. You must find this person within three days."

Liu Tianlong was taken aback, pondering for a moment before he exclaimed joyfully, "Master, is this person's birth date according to the solar calendar or the lunar calendar?"

The Ghost Wolf replied, "According to the Huaguo calendar, it should be the lunar calendar."

Liu Tianlong said excitedly, "Master, there's no need to look for anyone else. My son, Liu Yong, was born at this exact time."
