74: Dusk appears! Evil level weird?

The sky hadn't completely darkened yet, with the last rays of twilight still lingering.

It was dusk!

A Transcendent Ghoul appearing at this time shattered Lu Xuan's understanding!

Previously, all Transcendent Ghouls Lu Xuan had encountered only appeared in the dead of night.

Could it be because this Transcendent Ghoul's strength was greater than any Transcendent Ghoul Lu Xuan had encountered before?

The next moment, Lu Xuan stirred the Inner Energy within his body.

Subsequently, an indescribably terrifying Aura swept out from Lu Xuan's body.

The air in the courtyard seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Instantly, scorching currents of air flowed, dispelling all the chilling cold!

This was the terror of a Martial Artist who had reached Major Achievement in the Inner Energy Realm.

Ever since Lu Xuan achieved Breakthrough to Major Achievement in Inner Energy, he discovered that his terrifying Inner Energy could temporarily overflow from his body.

"Shen Yuan!"

"What are you still standing there for, kid!"

As the scorching Inner Energy within Lu Xuan's body was released,

everyone present felt a warm sensation, like a ray of sunlight in winter, driving away the bone-chilling cold.

Lu Xuan's roar woke Shen Yuan and the two maids from their fear.

"Xuan Ge, please be careful!"

At this point, Shen Yuan also understood what the little girl opposite him was.

A strange little girl with Liu Yiwai's dead face hanging on her, if this wasn't some dirty thing, what else could it be?

Without a moment's hesitation, Shen Yuan quickly took Lu Qingqing's small hand with one hand, while not forgetting to cover Lu Qingqing's eyes with the other.

"Qingqing, Xuan Ge has something to attend to, let's go first."

"We'll go meet Father first, and then we'll come back with Father."

Then, ignoring Lu Qingqing's struggles, Shen Yuan practically carried Lu Qingqing and ran towards the courtyard gate.

The two young maids also followed Shen Yuan's steps and left the courtyard.

The little girl tilted her head at an angle that almost made it fall off, and Liu Yiwai's old face still wore a strange smile.

"Possession?"

Lu Xuan sensed a dense Yin Qi emanating from the little girl.

Lu Xuan had originally been worried whether this Human-Faced Wraith would appear or not.

He didn't expect to see it so soon, and in Shen Mansion at that.

Was it that impatient?

Or was it worried about encountering those Blackbird Guards from last night again?

Fortunately, he had been cautious and stayed in Shen Mansion.

A clear clang of a blade rang out, accompanied by a bright silver light, illuminating Lu Xuan's excited face.

Looking over, Lu Xuan was already holding a silver broadsword, dazzling under the twilight's afterglow.

At this moment, the eerie little girl's small body erupted into action, madly rushing towards Lu Xuan.

However, a crimson light was faster than her, streaking across the sky with an unparalleled scorching Aura, instantly striking the eerie little girl.

Boom!

The eerie little girl, enveloped in crimson flames, was flung towards the distant courtyard wall, smashing through the sturdy wall.

In just a few breaths, the eerie little girl, without a sound, was completely consumed by the terrifying crimson flames, turning into nothingness.

However, Lu Xuan, seeing this scene, was not happy.

Because the eerie little girl he had dealt with was not the true Human-Faced Wraith.

And the real one...

"Here!"

Under the perception of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi that permeated Lu Xuan's body, he had already sensed the hidden Yin Qi right behind him.

Immediately, Lu Xuan spun around abruptly, and a faceless robed ghoul shadow floated before his eyes.

The robed faceless ghoul shadow, which had just extended its chilling white hand, instantly froze in mid-air.

Even without facial features, its human-like expression was evident, seemingly not understanding how Lu Xuan had discovered it.

However, that chillingly pale hand only remained frozen for a breath before reaching out towards Lu Xuan's body with even greater speed.

Until that chillingly pale hand passed through Lu Xuan's body without any obstruction.

And Lu Xuan's body was like an illusion, not existing in the real world.

Before the faceless ghoul shadow's eyes, Lu Xuan's body gradually became ethereal, then completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

Before the faceless ghoul shadow could react, the air behind it instantly twisted and steamed.

This high-temperature, scorching Aura caused the cold Yin Qi on the faceless ghoul shadow's body to turn into wisps of white smoke at a visible speed, evaporating into the sky.

Just as the faceless ghoul wanted to flee, this scorching Aura firmly suppressed it in place.

A crimson sky-piercing firelight, even brighter than before, shone forth, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Lu Xuan stood far from the Human-Faced Wraith, quietly watching it being incinerated by the crimson flames.

And this sky-piercing firelight also attracted the attention of many people.

Outside Shen Mansion!

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao had already arrived outside Shen Mansion earlier, preparing to familiarize themselves with the route and also to pay a visit to the Senior from last night.

By tonight, if they found traces of the Human-Faced Wraith, they would immediately rush to inform that Senior expert.

Behind them were County Magistrate Zeng Fan of Dengfeng County, who would be their introducer when they entered Shen Mansion later.

"Hmm? Firelight?"

Zhao Sheng and the other two paused, having noticed the anomaly within Shen Mansion.

Now, as dusk was settling, red lanterns were already hung outside the main gate of Shen Mansion.

However, inside Shen Mansion, there was a bright firelight, almost spreading throughout the entire mansion.

Someone unaware of the situation, seeing this strange sight, might have thought there was a fire inside.

But Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao immediately noticed the uniqueness of this firelight.

The enchanting crimson light, wasn't this the same flame they had seen last night?

Oh no, this was that Senior's method.

That Senior had acted again.

"Old Zhao, something seems off. Could that thing have appeared?"

Qian Hao's words made Zhao Sheng momentarily stunned, then he instantly reacted.

There was still some time until nightfall. Could that Human-Faced Wraith's strength have reached a level close to an E Level Ghoul?

Because only E Level Transcendent Ghouls could appear during the day.

Although it was dusk now, it was still considered daytime.

The fact that the Human-Faced Wraith could appear at this time proved that it was not far from being an E Level Ghoul.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng quickly moved towards Shen Mansion, and Qian Hao, seeing this, also quickly followed behind Zhao Sheng.

Leaving County Magistrate Zeng Fan of Dengfeng County alone, bewildered in the wind, not knowing what was happening.

"Hey, who are you people? How dare you trespass into Shen Mansion?"

Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao ignored the house servants guarding the main gate of Shen Mansion and rushed directly towards the direction of the firelight.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Zeng Fan, without time to think, also quickly caught up and stopped the house servants who wanted to chase after Zhao Sheng and Qian Hao.
