Versatile Sword Cultivator

The Ghost Emperor seized a chance to catch its breath. Seeing its ghostly life hanging by a thread, it suddenly charged towards Panda Xiong and the female ghost.

Panda Xiong was still battling a large group of fierce ghosts, completely unaware of the attack from behind.

The Ghost Emperor struck Panda Xiong's back with a palm, shouting loudly.

"Soul-Reaping Devour!"

Panda Xiong cried out in pain as the Ghost Emperor's hand on its back began drawing out a large amount of blood energy, which flowed into the Ghost Emperor's body.

[2000!]

[2000!]

[2000!]

This life-stealing skill of the Ghost Emperor was rapidly replenishing its vitality.

Panda Xiong fell into a coma, unable to move or resist, and could only watch helplessly as the Ghost Emperor sucked its blood.

The female ghost, seeing this, hurriedly struck the Ghost Emperor with a palm.

But the effect was negligible. The Ghost Emperor didn't even need to dodge and laughed wickedly at the female ghost.

"My dear, once I kill this guy, I'll marry you. You must..."

Before it could finish, the Ghost Emperor sensed something and turned its head.

Lin Jichen stood there, his body surging with demonic energy. In the sky, a massive demonic palm imprint appeared.

The Ghost Emperor was stunned for a second, then cursed loudly, "Damn it, is this kid righteous or evil? How does he know the secret arts of Buddha, Sword, and Demon?"

The Ghost Emperor cursed in disbelief, retracting its hand from Panda Xiong and quickly fleeing.

However, the demonic palm imprint in the sky locked onto it again!

"Shattered Sky Demon Seal Palm!"

The demonic palm descended, like a demonic version of Buddha's Palm, crushing down on the Ghost Emperor!

[-12555!]

The Ghost Emperor's recently replenished health bar was completely emptied.

All that was left was an unwilling roar before it vanished into smoke.

Lin Jichen successfully killed the Soul-Reaping Ghost Emperor.

The remaining fierce ghosts couldn't escape either, as Lin Jichen chased them down one by one.

Once the enemies were cleared, there wasn't a single ghost left around. The nearby ghosts had long been scared away by the commotion.

Lin Jichen let out a sigh of relief. That was really tough.

The battle had been extremely arduous.

It almost left him completely drained, with all his spirit skills and ultimate techniques on cooldown.

He didn't dare to stay long, quickly picking up all the Soul Burial Mounds and stuffing them into his ring without even looking. The Purple Essence Ring was almost full.

It was clear that this battle had yielded quite a harvest.

After picking up the equipment, Lin Jichen prepared to leave with Panda Xiong.

At this moment, the female ghost called out to him.

"Benefactor, please wait."

Lin Jichen turned to look at the female ghost and said, "I've already saved you, what else do you want?"

The female ghost walked up to Lin Jichen, bowed gracefully, and said, "I will never forget the life-saving grace of my benefactor. I hope you won't despise me. I am willing to follow you and serve you faithfully."

Lin Jichen was taken aback and asked, "You mean... you want to be my ghost servant?"

Ghost servants were very rare in the Tale of Immortal, a hundred times rarer than pets.

They were a high-level master-servant contract, where the ghost would serve the cultivator forever.

It was a kind of pet, but this 'pet' had human consciousness and considerable combat power, and could even learn ghost cultivation skills to strengthen itself.

The female ghost shyly nodded and said, "I was captured by the Soul-Reaping Ghost Emperor and remember nothing, not even my name. I have no home to return to and only seek a place of refuge. I hope my benefactor will take me in."

Lin Jichen hesitated for a moment and began to check her information.

After reading the female ghost's information, Lin Jichen was puzzled. What was with the unknown name and level?

Could this female ghost have some hidden identity?

As he pondered, a prompt sounded.

[Ding! The female ghost wants to become your ghost servant and sign a master-servant contract. Do you agree?]

Seeing this, Lin Jichen didn't hesitate. Why refuse a ghost servant that came to him?

He immediately chose to agree.

Instantly, a bond formed between Lin Jichen and the female ghost.

Lin Jichen could command the female ghost at will, and she had to obey unconditionally. This was the nature of a ghost servant.

It was rare for ghosts to willingly become ghost servants to human cultivators, as it meant becoming the other's slave.

"Master~"

The female ghost called shyly.

Up close, Lin Jichen could see her appearance clearly.

She looked very young, around fifteen or sixteen years old, with an exceptionally beautiful and delicate face. Her oval face was charming and elegant, with a small, exquisite nose and a lovely, delicate mouth.

But her brows always carried a trace of allure, especially her peach blossom eyes, which seemed to captivate any man who looked at her.

What a seductive female ghost!

Lin Jichen sighed. If she were alive, she would surely bring disaster to the country.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, Lin Jichen was surprised to find that she looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her before.

But he couldn't remember, no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, Lin Jichen had a flash of inspiration, recalling what the Soul-Reaping Ghost Emperor had said earlier.

"I've been infatuated with you ever since I passed through the Crimson Land. I fell in love with you at first sight and brought you to the Howling Ghost Ridge to marry you."

This female ghost was called the Crimson Land Female Ghost...

The Crimson Land... that's the territory of the Drought Ba...

Lin Jichen seemed to realize something, his eyes widening.

Damn!

His expression turned a bit strange.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The female ghost looked at Lin Jichen anxiously, her eyes brimming with a pitiful look that made one want to protect her.

Lin Jichen shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You go back to the ghost servant space first. It's not safe here. We'll talk when we get out."

"Yes, Master~"

The female ghost obediently agreed and then disappeared.

Lin Jichen's personal attribute panel now had a ghost servant mark.

Lin Jichen also put Panda Xiong away and quickly headed back, flying out of the Howling Ghost Ridge.

Unfortunately, the teleportation talisman couldn't be used in dangerous areas, so he had to get out first.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and he didn't encounter any more powerful ghosts. Lin Jichen successfully left the Howling Ghost Ridge.

He immediately took out a teleportation talisman, tore it, and was transported to a city near Huafeng Province.

Then, through the teleportation array, he returned to his own Mu Xian Province.

Lin Jichen didn't go to Fengqu City but returned directly to the Sword Sect.

He had obtained the Nine-Colored Lily, so he had to return to the Sword Sect to break through to the Golden Core Realm!
