Chapter 312 Shadow and Ghost

”You have a quicker and simpler method to break this array?” To be honest, Gu Hong did not believe that there was the biggest secret of Medicine Sect behind this stone gate.

The Medicine Sect went through a decline and was hunted by their enemy. So, they had no choice but to move from Ancient Martial World into Semi-Ancient Martial World.

Though they came down to Semi-Ancient Martial World, all the ambitious members took returning to Ancient Martial World as their life-long goal. And the secret behind the stone gate was the key to the re-entry of the Medicine Sect.

At that time, to hide this big secret, the Medicine Sect masters made every effort to build this underground maze. They also gathered some magic array experts to apply some impregnable array to protect it.

This array was half belonging to the advanced one of Ancient Martial World. How could a young boy like Qin Hao break it?

”Grand-master, Uncle Ping, please take a rest and I will break this array.” Qin Hao said it seriously. He was not kidding.

”Hao, don't be so rash. It is not a simple array for you to break in your way. If you are not careful, you might be hurt in return. So, let's do it my way.” Gu Hong said in a deep voice.

If Gu Hong's method cost less time, Qin Hao would not disobey him. But Qin was not that patient to waste so much time. Also, he intended to absorb Spirit Qi in order to break through the middle period of Void Stage.

”Uncle Ping, please take my grand-master to have a rest and I'm going to break this array.” Saying this, Qin Hao sat in front of the stone gate, moving his Qi and concentrating his attention. He put his hands on the gate and started absorbing Qi through the way taught by Bloody Demon King.

”Don't do this, Hao!” Gu Hong shouted and tried to stop him. But in his condition, there was nothing he could do. ”Tianping, stop him.”

Ye Tianping felt embarrassed: ”Master, now that he has a quicker and simpler way, why not let him try? After all, he is a young man. He will not stop until he tries.”

Gu Hong thought it made some sense, so he could but sigh: ”OK, let him try. I only hope he will not be hurt by the array.”

Then Ye Tianping put Gu Hong down to the ground from his back. They stayed aside to see how Qin Hao was going to break this array and what method he would use.

...

At the foot of the mountain where the Medicine Sect was located, there was a small town.

Now at the entrance of the only inn in this town, in the dim light of the night, a beautiful dark figure flashed in straight to the guest room.

That was Shadow coming down from the Medicine Sect on the mountain.

Shadow pushed open the door, walked into the room already reserved and closed the door.

All of a sudden, following a snap, the dark room became illuminated. Not ready for the abrupt shift from darkness to light, Shadow felt dizzy. But out of the killer's instinct, she turned around immediately and changed into a defensive posture, yelling: ”Who's there?”

“Giggle, my little sister, no need to be so nervous.” A burst of ghostly laughter emerged from the room.

Shadow was speechless for a moment. Then she found there was a man in black sitting on the wood chair near the window, with a ghost mask on his face. She certainly knew this man. They came from the same sect, and he was her Senior.

It was him who turned on the lights in the room just now. Surprisingly, those were electric lights.

Semi-Ancient Martial World was not a metropolis like those in the outside world. People even refused the modern things out there, but they introduced electric lights.

They resisted modern things mainly for fear of the pollution coming along. If the environment was as bad as the cities outside, Spirit Qi would dry up and the Martial Cultivators would lose the precious circumstances for cultivation.

But hydroelectricity brought little pollution and influence, so the electric lights representing modern technology was introduced.

” Senior, what are you doing here?” Shadow looked at the ghost-face man and felt a little guilty.

”Giggle,” The ghost-face man made that ghostly laughter again, ”Little sister, it is me who should ask you a question. Where have you been this evening? I have told you in the day that anyone involved in this task shall not leave this inn before the task is finished. But you broke the order and left for so long. So, you tell me, how should I punish you?”

After saying this, the ghost-face man stared at Shadow infernally, making her uncomfortable.

”Se...senior, sorry. I, I wasn't feeling well so I went out to get some medicine.” Shadow explained in a low voice.

”Feeling unwell?” The ghost man lifted his brow, ”Then why didn't you tell me? I could have gone with you or even got the medicine for you.”

”Senior, it was too late and as the leader of this task, you must have been really tired. I was afraid you would be bothered so...”

”So you were being considerate. Well, I was moved. Thanks for your concern. Then where is your medicine?” The ghost-faced man kept staring at her as if trying to see through her heart.

Shadow hesitated a moment, took out a pack of medicine and put it down gently on the table.

The ghost-face man took the pack to his nose. It was indeed a pack of medicine with a strong smell.
