--- Chapter 121 ---

With the cooperation of the Great Honey Milk Tree's Spirit, Behemoth Paradise doesn't have to worry about lacking medicine with vibrant life energy as they can obtain it effortlessly now.

It's possible to grant Behemoth Paradise's Members with Unique Physiques like Pure Sage Physique, but Baek Ain needs to test a few things first.

After signing a spiritual contract, Baek Ain placed several layers of a defensive-type and space-altering array around the mountain to protect Great Honey Milk Tree's Domain, preventing anyone from finding this place.

"Then, see you soon, Wei." Baek Ain waved his hand and created a Wormhole.

The koala waved its hand back and returned casually, "Plant the saplings in your territory quickly. I want to see what kind of place Behemoth Paradise is."

"Just wait a few days." Baek Ain smirked, jumping into the Wormholes with his companions.

They arrived at the Void Passage. And Cai Lin suddenly commented, "My husband just made a deal with a koala that's the spirit of the legendary medicine tree."

"This journey started to become more and more exciting."

Lan Rou shook her head and added, "The scope of Central Plains is bigger than Jia Ma Empire and Tager Desert. You will find ridiculous things one after another."

"Well, that's true, I suppose." Cai Lin nodded in agreement. When Baek Ain was on the Jia Ma Empire stage, she was bored to death because all he did was train and train every day.

But after entering Black Corner Region, Baek Ain's actions soared to the sky immediately.

He defeated and conquered Black Corner Region by himself.

He defended Fallen Orchid Sect and killed several Dou Venerates, surviving against a Half-Saint Expert.

Cai Lin's red eyes blinked as she expected Baek Ain to create more miracles soon.

"Let's go to the Black Corner Region first. I want to get the current situation of Central Plains." Baek Ain proposed his intention.

Lan Rou didn't mind and answered, "Sure."

"Okay." The same goes for Cai Lin.

Using the Wormhole, Baek Ain and his companions reached the nearest entry point to the Black Corner Region. Several months have passed, but the Black Corner Region grew and became more prosperous under the leadership of the Blade God, Bai Ya.

And to be fair, Baek Ain threw his responsibility to the Beast Taming Gate's Leader, Yang Ming. He was too lazy to fully develop Black Corner Region despite the area being a full-blown land of business.

Yang Ming is more skilled in this field than Baek Ain.

Arriving at the Black Mark City, Baek Ain approached a secret passage and walked in a maze before entering a massive iron door. He kicked the door and surprised everyone behind it.

"I'm back!" He declared, not giving the other side a chance to raise their weapons.

Yang Ming stayed in a meeting with people of the Black Corner Region and was caught speechless. They looked at the iron door and saw a white-haired youth, and standing beside him were two beauties.

"T-This voice." Yang Mang looked at Baek Ain in disbelief.

"T-That woman." One of the people recognized Lan Rou's face contour and silverish hair.

"W-W Greet The Blade God and Death Goddess!" Yang Ming and others hurriedly kneeled on the floors. They didn't even stare at Baek Ain's eyes as his calm aura terrified them.

This man-! No, this youth is the person who killed Old Ground Demon Ghost and unified the Black Corner Region with his blade.

Meanwhile, the Death Goddess is his lover. Even though not many people know her, the upper echelons of the Black Corner Region knew her ability as a deadly assassin.

Her assassination technique was so strong that even the former leader of the sect and clans sucked a cold breath every time they wanted to sleep.

They don't want to become her next target, as everyone who experienced her assassin technique dies horrifyingly. But they didn't expect her to be this level of beauty.

After all, Lan Rou always concealed her appearance.

"Everyone out. Yang Ming stays." Baek Ain ordered while taking one of the nearest chairs.

As the people walked out, Baek Ain opened his mouth again and continued, "Oh, yeah. I don't have to tell you the consequence of exposing my identity, right?"

"I have planted my mark on you. So, One word out, and poof!"

"Y-Yes, Blade God!" They bowed again, leaving in a hurry.

"Dismissed." Baek Ain shook his head in amusement because he only teased them. There is no way these people blabbered their mouths as parasites lived in their bodies.

"You're as petty as always." Cai Lin rolled her eyes.

Baek Ain chuckled and countered, "I learned from the best."

"Right, Instructor Rou?"

"Are you saying that I'm petty?" Lan Rou frowned in displeasure.

"Are you not?" Baek Ain and Cai Lin blinked at the aloof-faced woman.

Lan Rou pursed her lips, "Of course I am."

"Damn Straight..."

Yang Ming felt like his existence was "directly." ignored.

Should I laugh or cry in this situation?

Ahhh, I want to hug my wife and enjoy a holiday someday.

"Anyway." Baek Ain suddenly glanced back at Yang Ming.

"How is the job I gave to you two months ago?"

Yang Ming was struck with the unexpected question and answered, "I've followed your order and investigated everything related to Xiao Yan and Xiao Clan."

"Xiao Clan currently lived in the Northern Region, the area gifted by General Nalan of the Jia Ma Empire. I couldn't say they are strong nor decent, but their power is about the same force of a middle-sized sect in the small empire."

"As for Xiao Yan..."

"He was "actually." imprisoned in Jia Nan Academy and sentenced for the rest of his lifetime. Some of our spies even specified that his Dou Qi Pathways are crippled, but..."

"But what?" Baek Ain expected some bullshit-like plot armor.

Yang Ming put on a wry smile and replied, "But someone bailed him out two days ago."

"Is it Gu Clan?"

"No, It's not Gu Clan." Yang Ming shook his head quickly.

"It was... A ghost!"

"Ghost!?" Cai Lin and Lan Roul couldn't believe their ears for a moment.

Meanwhile, Baek Ain's mouth twitched slightly. To think Xiao Yan has healed Yao Chen's Soul from the excessive usage of Soul Force to increase his power when facing his parasite.

Yang Ming nodded and continued, "It was a female ghost. She wore a black hood and appeared transparent, as no one could touch her. Her face was covered in mist, making it difficult to recognize."

"But the most shocking part is her strength. Even the Jia Nan Academy's Guardians are "thoroughly." defeated with just a punch."

"..." Baek Ain was stunned.

The ghost is not Yao Chen?

Who is it, then?

A click occurred in Baek Ain's head.

['The Irregular!'] Baek Ain and Alicia uttered internally.

After two years, the irregularity of this world finally showed itself. Baek Ain has spent his time dutifully waiting for this moment to come.

Baek Ain could have killed Xiao Yan when he left the Alchemist Gathering Event, but that won't solve the problem. He didn't know who caused this irregularity.

The person that was close to the protagonist Xiao Yan, so he laid his lure for the fish patiently. And yes, the fish has bitten onto the good old bait.

Then again, who is this female ghost?

Baek Ain suspected Gu Xun'er at first but dropped the guess because Yang Ming told him Gu Xun'er had returned to Central Plains(her clan) two months ago.

And Xiao Yan hasn't made contact with his clan for months.

"Yang Ming, dig more about this matter." Baek Ain ordered immediately.

"Dispatch all the spies if possible."

"As you wish, Blade God." Yang Ming answered with conviction.

'Alicia, you still have the tracker on Xiao Yan, right?' Baek Ain questioned calmly.

[Yes]

Baek Ain opened the map and enlarged it, seeing a red dot in the middle of the sea. "Got you..." He grinned coldly.

"Now let's see a big fish like you take my bait."

'A treasure that could recover one's soul. What do you think, Alicia? Xiao Yan will get tempted, no?' Baek Ain chuckled wickedly.

[He is]

[Xiao Yan will be tempted by such treasure. He wanted to recover his teacher's soul for the longest time]

"Yang Ming." Baek Ain called his loyal subordinate again.

"Do me a favor and spread information about the miraculous drug called Soul Recovering Medicine to all corners of Dou Qi Continent."

"How fast can you do it?"

Yang Ming calculated at the top of his head and responded, "The fastest we could do is a week."

"The longest time will be two or three weeks."

"Good, do it." Baek Ain was satisfied with the answer. He could do more preparation later.
