Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1319: Chapter 860: Ambush (Part 2)

Now, Yang Xiao felt a deep sense of emotion. Each magic artifact on the table represented his blood-and-tears journey of growth. Yang Xiao had tread cautiously, bearing burdens without luck, relying solely on hard work.

Drama Robe, Ghost Lantern, Ghost Bamboo Stick, Soul-Capturing Mirror, Human Bone Staff, Ghost Sleeve Robe, Ghost phone, Ghost Bell, Ring-Headed Saber, and the pitch-black human skin.

This was only a part of it. He hadn’t taken out the items belonging to the Mirror Ghost, including the wooden wedge, Ghost Chef’s Knife, Black Stone, and the armor of the Demon Sect Vajra.

If all these magic artifacts were counted, even the famous Black Lama Duobao Taoist did not have as many treasures as he did, having only 10 items.

Sheng Yanlin used the Wisdom Stick to carefully move each artifact on the table, as if categorizing them, finally leaving only three.

Ghost Lantern, Ghost Bamboo Stick, and Human Bone Staff.

"We won’t mention the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes. Among all the magic artifacts on you, these three are of the best quality and are highly compatible with you."

"Unfortunately, with your current level of spiritual power, you can’t fully utilize the wonders of these three magic artifacts."

"It can be confidently said that these three artifacts have abilities you haven’t discovered yet, and the more they require powerful spiritual power, the stranger and more terrifying they are."

"Remember, after you return, focus your main energy on developing and perfecting these three artifacts. More is not better when it comes to magic artifacts; it’s about refinement, not quantity."

Seemingly remembering that the Opera Robe Ghost was helping Yang Xiao with evaluations, Sheng Yanlin didn’t dwell on this topic, as the other party was also a top expert in treasure appraisal.

When he first met Yang Xiao, Sheng Yanlin was amazed by Yang Xiao’s incredible collection of treasures. Even at its peak, Yiling Academy couldn’t present artifacts that could rival Yang Xiao’s collection.

Any one of these artifacts would be enough to serve as the treasured treasure of a major force.

Listening to Sheng Yanlin’s advice, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel bittersweet; all good things must come to an end. They would soon leave, but Sheng Yanlin would continue to serve in the Esoteric Sect as payment for the Wisdom Stick, which was also a business transaction.

Placing his hand gently on Sheng Yanlin’s wrinkled hand, Yang Xiao slowly tightened his grip, promising earnestly, "Elder Sheng, after a year, I will come back for you, and by then help you reclaim the Academy!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Good, good! I’ll be waiting for you!" Sheng Yanlin’s eyes became wet with emotion upon hearing this; reclaiming Yiling Academy was the reason Sheng Yanlin had persevered with gritted teeth all these years.

And he believed in Yang Xiao. After a year, this person would surely reach new heights, likely giving him a big surprise.

Three days passed in a heartbeat, and the day of separation finally arrived. It was at night, with no grand farewell ceremony, as everything needed to proceed in secret.

Those bidding farewell were few but significant: High Priest Cannibal Buddha, Sutana, Nalin Commander, Elder Kunpa, and two familiar Esoteric Elders.

Aside from them, Sheng Yanlin and Tai Wenqin also chose to remain.

Yang Xiao, Professor Cui, and Sui Chengguo were dressed in Esoteric Sect clothing and mingled with a caravan headed for the border.

They needed to traverse the territory of the Esoteric Sect and pass through two Yin Temple influences still secretly controlled by the Esoteric Sect. If all went well, they would arrive at the border by the evening in three days.

The Provincial Office had already sent word that they had arranged for personnel to assist at the border. Elder Yang of the Provincial Law Enforcement Team would personally lead the team, giving Yang Xiao and Professor Cui due respect.

Of those seeing them off, the saddest was Sutana. She held onto the Mirror Ghost without letting go and had already cried for a day upon learning it was leaving.

"Yang Xiao, I have a favor to ask." Cannibal Buddha’s rough voice sounded.

"High Priest, please speak."

"If you have the time, personally lead your group to visit here and let Sutana see it." As a father, Cannibal Buddha was very fond of his daughter Sutana and even didn’t hesitate to lower himself to speak to Yang Xiao.

"The High Priest is too kind; within six months, I will surely come. The kindness of the High Priest and all of you is etched in my heart, and I will repay it in the future!" Yang Xiao clasped his hands together, saluting those present to see him off.

Cannibal Buddha nodded, then glanced aside, and an Esoteric Elder immediately stepped forward, handing over a delicate box.

Yang Xiao accepted it with some surprise, holding the box and looking at Cannibal Buddha.

"Open it and see," Cannibal Buddha said in a muffled voice.

Opening the box, he saw inside two small sachets made of rough hemp fabric, each about the size of two fists.

One was bulging, while the other was slightly flat.

Leaning in and taking a slight sniff, Yang Xiao’s eyes instantly lit up; he knew what was inside—it was the Yin Temple’s specialty, Life-extending Ointment!

This item was extremely precious. Master Er Mo once offered treasures at an auction to exchange for it but didn’t succeed. By chance, Yang Xiao had seized from Pingzong Building and obtained half a bag.

Here was a whole bag, weighing at least twice as much as Master Er Mo’s pouch.

Yang Xiao also opened the flat sachet, which contained six pitch-black medicine pills. freēwebnovel.com

"You’ve seen the Life-extending Ointment; these pills can delay the backlash of a magic artifact and are very useful in battle," Elder Kunpa explained.

These items were treasures that money couldn’t easily buy, and Yang Xiao’s gratitude towards Cannibal Buddha deepened; this person truly treated him well.
