Chapter 1184: Ghost King's Secret Technique

e roar sounded, hundreds of steel-boned lions around immediately rushed towards Fang Yu at the fastest speed!"Boring."Fang Yu stood in place, his true qi erupting suddenly!The overwhelming might surge...Fang Yu, accompanied by the Void Devouring Beast, returned to the grand manor in Beidu.

It took less than two hours to get from the north to the southernmost point and back.

"Little Kongkong!" Zhao Zinan rushed over to Fang Yu's side upon seeing the Shikong beast lying on his shoulder, and asked with concern, "Are you alright"

"Woof."

The Void Devourer yawned and barked lazily in response.

"It's nothing major, just ran to the extreme south and got locked up in a cage by a group of priests," Fang Yu chuckled and said.

Upon hearing this, the Void Devourer seemed especially indignant. It immediately stood up and barked three times: "Woof woof woof!"

"Yes, I know you've been restrained," Fang Yu said. "But being locked in a cage and unable to move is a bit embarrassing, isn't it"

"Woof!" The Void Eater barked, its voice laced with defiance as it wagged its tail repeatedly.

"Alright, you were actually helpful this time. Next time I go out, I'll bring you along and let you have some snacks." Fang Yu said, grabbing the Void Devouring Beast and placing it on Zhao Zinan's head.

Zhao Zinan quickly held the Shekong Beast in her palm and rubbed its head with her face.

"Master!"

Little Windbell grabbed onto Fang Yu's sleeve from behind and said, "Big Black Dog got a reward, what about me I played a key role too! Before you even showed up, it was me who sent those people to the big house, and then…"

"...And what kind of reward do you want" Fang Yu turned around, rubbing Xiao Fengling's head, and asked.

"It's up to you, master. Whatever you give me, I'll be happy." said Xiao Fengling.

Hearing this, Fang Yu's gaze towards Xiao Fengling became even more peculiar.

This little wind chime... it really looks just like a normal human girl. You wouldn't even tell it was a spirit at first glance.

Fang Yu glanced again at Zhao Zi'nan, who was intimately interacting with the Void Devourer.

Zhao Zinan is a human girl, but she behaves like a well-behaved spirit beast. While Xiaofengling is a spirit, she behaves like an ancient and mischievous little girl.

What on earth is going on Where did we go wrong

Fang Yu came to his senses and saw Xiao Fengling still eagerly waiting. He said, "Next time I go out, I can take you for a stroll."

"Great! Master! How did you know I wanted to go for a walk..."

Xiao Fengling hugged Fang Yu's arm tightly, her excitement was overwhelming.

"Well, I'm going upstairs to be for a while. You guys go ahead and do your thing." Fang Yu said.

After that, Fang Yu walked toward the bamboo building.

"Humph, Big black dog, my master will take me out next time too, hehe..." As soon as Fang Yu left, Xiao Fengling immediately became spirited. She made a face at the Shi Kong Beast in Zhao Zi Nan's hand, sticking out her tongue and being extremely provocative.

The Void Devourer turned its head away, feigning disinterest in the little wind chime.

……

Fang Yu came to the top floor of the bamboo building and took out that thick volume of the Ghost King's Secret Technique.

This spellbook is quite thick, at least twice as thick as an average manual.

What kind of kung fu is this How can it be so heavy

With this question in mind, Fang Yu began to read through the secret manual.

An afternoon passed quickly.

When Fang Yu first started reading this secret manual, he was still clueless.

The so-called Ghost King's Secret Technique was completely different from any other system of martial arts he had encountered before.

This is a unique cultivation technique, and even the way of practicing it is different from others.

Fang Yu even felt that this skill was impossible to cultivate.

But after flipping through twenty pages and reaching the second part on cultivation methods, Fang Yu only then discovered the profound secrets within.

To be precise, the Ghost King's Secret Art... is not a spell, but a martial art!

... is a form of martial arts that most cultivators in the cultivation world look down upon! ...

At this moment, Fang Yu finally understood the meaning of what the Ghost King had said.

"Compared to what you got from before, the things I offer are indeed on a lower level. But since that person arranged for us to meet, the things I give you will certainly be of use to you."

Martial arts, naturally effective against feathers!

For so many years of cultivation, Fang Yu's most troubling problem was... in the Cultivation World dominated by cultivators, the powerful martial arts passed down were simply too few.

This is because cultivators of the physical body were not common to begin with, and for a cultivator of the physical body to achieve great success and leave behind powerful martial arts secrets... was even rarer.

Prior to this, Fang Yu's martial arts training primarily stemmed from ancient alchemical sects.

But even in ancient times, sect of body refining was extremely rare.

So, by the end... Fang Yu's martial arts, were basically all figured out on his own, forming a unique style.

However, up to this point, Fang Yu was completely unaware of his own level of martial arts prowess.

Because there was no suitable opponent to help him test himself.

His physical body was too powerful, most opponents couldn't even withstand a single punch from him, let alone use any martial arts.

But regardless of whether it's useful or not, being able to cultivate one more body art technique is definitely a good thing for someone like Yu who is obsessed with physical training.

Originally, Fang Yu still had other things to do.

But the Ghost King's secret technique, the more you look at it, the more you can savor the essence within.

Thus, it was unstoppable.

Fang Yu had been sitting directly on the top floor of the bamboo building for a whole week.

……

During this time, Bei Du, which had been in turmoil for a while due to the arrival of the Spirit Slayer, returned to its usual state.

The Sky-Peering Bureau has confirmed that Mie Ling was blasted to death by a powerful cultivator. Therefore... the infighting between the forces in Beidu can continue.

Of course, many people are also curious about which powerful figure made the move to obliterate such a terrifying Spirit Destroyer.

There are many rumors. Some say that several powerful figures from the top of the Saint Rankings joined forces to kill Mie Ling, while others say that a team of top-tier fighters was formed by major aristocratic families and sects to eliminate Mie Ling...

Some people also believe that the Spirit Killer wasn't killed at all, but merely left Beidu for some reason.

There are many different opinions and theories, as there is no official statement. All of the theories have their supporters.

But as time went on, fewer and fewer people cared whether Mèilíng was dead or alive.

Because, the news from the martial arts world in Beidu is simply too abundant every day.

The Shen family's elite forces have disappeared, with most of them said to have been killed by the Spirit Obliteration. Even Shen Tianlong and his son, who had shone brightly in Beidu recently, perished among them...

The Saint List, Heavenly List, and Divine List, every time they are updated, cause a stir.

And recently, this time around the rankings have changed dramatically. The top ten spots on the Saint List saw huge shifts.

Yuan Sanquan, who topped the rankings for a while, dropped to seventh place. Huixu rose to second place, while Liyuan became the new number one on the Saintly List.

As for the other seven on the top ten list, there's one very unfamiliar name.

Saint List Fifth, Bai Ran.

This name became the focus of this rankings change.

"It's said to be the new head of the Bai family."

"Yes, the new head of the Bai family, supposedly very young..."

"I also heard rumors that Bai Ran is not a direct descendant of the Bai family, but just a distant relative..."

……

While there was much talk outside, the Bai household remained remarkably silent.

Since the last change of ownership, the atmosphere in the Bai family has become very oppressive.

Everyone, even Bai Hengchuan when he sees Bai Ran... has to face him with the utmost respect.

They fear not Bai Ran, but Bai Wuya behind Bai Ran.

This elder made their White family soar to become a top-tier family, but at the same time... it also robbed their White family of its vitality, leaving only absolute obedience.

That evening, in the White family's hall.

All of the Bai family's core members were kneeling in the hall, their heads pressed tightly to the ground.

The reason for this posture is... Today is the first family meeting since Bai Ran's exit from seclusion.

They shall welcome Bai Ran upon their return with the utmost respect.

After waiting for five minutes, Bai Ran walked into the hall and went straight to the high seat at the front.

He didn't sit down immediately, but instead looked at the group of kneeling loyalists ahead of him.

Actually, he dislikes this kind of etiquette.

But seeing this group of former arrogant and condescending core members kneeling on the ground, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Congratulations to the master for leaving seclusion and ascending to fifth on the Sacred Rankings!

At this moment, Bai Hengchuan at the very front raised his head and respectfully shouted.

With him leading the way, the rest of his loyal followers chimed in.

"Congratulations to the master of the house for leaving seclusion and ascending to the fifth position on the Divine Ranking..."

The entire hall was echoing with that phrase.

Bai Ran gently nodded and sat down on the seat in the back.

Looking at the crowd kneeling before him, a surge of pride welled up in his heart.ly follow behind Hua Yan towards Xiaoyang Lake.……"Which sect do you belong to from the Southern Frontier"On the road, Huayanyan turned her head and asked again."Three Passes of the Mysterious Gate." F...
