Chapter 88

Chapter 88 - Phantom Sage

Ye Hao felt a surge of anger towards Xiao Ming.

Spiritual confrontation?

Ye Hao didn't even have a clue what that meant.

“Brother Ye, hold on, I'll assist you.” Xiao Ming said, producing a piece of golden rune paper in his hand. As he chanted, the rune paper lifted into the air, transforming into a massive set of markings that descended upon the woman in white.

The woman in white let out a cold huff.

Her voice became a formidable sound wave, causing the descending markings to vanish into thin air.

Xiao Ming was dumbfounded by the sight.

That was the Spectral Ward his master had given him!

“Brother Ye, what's happening?”

When Ye Hao didn't reply, Xiao Ming sensed trouble. He quickly drew the Golden Sword from his waist. With a chant, the sword became a streak of golden light lunging at the woman in white.

But as the Golden Sword neared her, the woman in white effortlessly caught it between two fingers.

Xiao Ming's complexion turned ghostly white.

He had never known of a ghost bold enough to touch the Golden Sword, much less pinch it between two fingers.

Could this woman in white be the Ghost King?

With that thought, Xiao Ming took off running.

Ye Hao internally cursed, “What am I supposed to do if you run away?”

Xiao Ming didn't look back, fleeing the scene. The woman in white paid him no mind and instead turned her serene gaze to Ye Hao, asking calmly, “You've interrupted my meditation. How do you propose I punish you?”

Ye Hao, finding his voice again, stammered, “I simply wished to behold your grace.”

“And your first impulse was to press down on my shoulder blade? Why is that?”

“I was curious about the extent of your cultivation.”

“And have you satisfied your curiosity?”

“Your cultivation is unparalleled; I am no match for you.”

“Do you expect me to believe such flattery?”

“Why would I dare deceive you?”

“Well, I might just extract your heart to verify if you've been deceitful.” The woman in white pointed at Ye Hao's chest as she spoke.

“Are you scared?” she asked, her tone still indifferent.

She had achieved true enlightenment!

And Xiao Ming had sought to subdue her.

Ye Hao was convinced that not even the entirety of the Keepers of Forbidden Lore could best the woman in white.

“Senior, may I inquire about your name?”

“Su Xiaoyu.”

“Senior, what brings you to this place?”

“I practiced my cultivation here five hundred years ago. I could never have imagined that, after so much time, everything from those days would have vanished.”

“Time's passage is unstoppable by anyone.”

“Indeed,” Su Xiaoyu agreed, nodding before her gaze drifted off into the distance.

After a while, she handed Ye Hao a bag woven from golden threads.

“Meeting is destiny; this is for you.”

Ye Hao accepted the bag and examined it. “What's this?”

“A Cosmos Bag.”

“Cosmos Bag?” A thrill of elation crossed Ye Hao's face upon hearing this.

From the black dragon's memories, he was well aware of the Cosmos Bag—a coveted immortal treasure.

“The Cosmos Bag contains spirit stones and panaceas, with detailed instructions on the stone tablet,” Su Xiaoyu mentioned before quietly departing.

Spirit stones? Panaceas?

Ye Hao was overcome with excitement, his body quivering.

Resources were precisely what Ye Hao needed most at the moment!

With these resources, he could ascend to greater heights in his cultivation in a remarkably short time.

Ye Hao had always considered his cultivation to be quite advanced.

But today, in the presence of the woman in white, he realized just how insignificant his powers were.

The woman clad in white only required a single look to render him completely immobile.

Once Ye Hao had secured the Cosmos Bag, he made his way outside. It wasn't long before he encountered Xiao Ming, who was pacing restlessly around a stone table.

”Xiao Ming.”

“Who's there?” Xiao Ming tensed up.

Upon recognizing Ye Hao, Xiao Ming involuntarily retreated a couple of steps.

“Are you a human or a ghost?”
