Chapter 224 – Aberrant Team Under the Night!

At this point, the Cai-named diner paused, glanced around at the others, and said with narrowed eyes, “The rest goes without saying, right?

Being favored by such a Mentor isn’t just about the student-mentor relationship. When you step into the Federation in the future, all of the Mentor’s connections and resources can be utilized!

It’s like having a ‘Domain Master’ as your Senior Brother—wouldn’t your path be much smoother?”

The surrounding diners widened their eyes in realization. No wonder everyone fought tooth and nail to get into Fengdu University.

This was the only chance to change one’s social class!

It was also a game of power!

The Cai-named diner took a sip of tea and chuckled, “If you can’t be selected by a Mentor, these hidden resources are lost. You’d only be able to attend regular classes, cutting your future prospects in half! Heh heh!”

Ye Sheng listened, his gaze flickering slightly. Would he be chosen by a Mentor?

Still, he was, after all, the Provincial Top Scholar of Nanming Province. Surely he wouldn’t fall so low as to only attend regular classes, right?

“Young friend? Young friend?!” The Elder waved his hand in front of Ye Sheng’s eyes, trying to snap him out of his daze.

Seeing Ye Sheng look over, he smiled and asked, “So, what do you think? Is Fengdu City interesting?”

“It certainly has its charm!” Ye Sheng nodded.

The Elder laughed heartily and patted his grandson’s shoulder beside him. “My Xiao Ran may not make it into Fengdu University, but getting into its affiliated martial school is no problem.

This is one of the privileges of being a Fengdu native!”

The young man looked smug, casting a somewhat boastful glance at Ye Sheng. “The affiliated martial school of Fengdu University often has Fengdu University students personally teaching classes! With them as instructors, it’s even better than some top-tier military academies!”

“Really? That’s truly impressive!” Ye Sheng praised.

As they spoke, the sound of gongs clearing the way echoed through Fengdu City under the night sky.

Many in the tavern turned to look into the darkness.

There, an aberrant procession advanced under the dim glow of night lights, with minor ghosts leading the way, striking gongs to warn the living to step aside.

Behind them followed dozens of Ghost Officers, including Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Two of them, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, held iron chains, the other ends of which were locked onto a disheveled, burly man.

The burly man’s chest was pierced by the chains, weakening his aura. Yet, even so, his passage stirred ripples in the Void, with a terrifying presence leaking out.

“So strong!” Ye Sheng narrowed his eyes. This burly man was no ordinary figure; his aura was as deep as an abyss, far surpassing that of a 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm Cultivator.

Yet, even such an Expert had been captured by these Ghost Officers, and it was unclear where they were taking him.

“That burly man is a 5th Revolution Ghost King! He was wanted for acting recklessly in Fengdu City, reducing an ancient tower to dust and killing two ordinary people. I didn’t expect him to be caught so quickly,” the Elder sharing the table chuckled, seemingly accustomed to such occurrences.

“A 5th Revolution Ghost King!” Ye Sheng’s gaze flickered, thinking to himself that Fengdu City truly lived up to its reputation as the second-largest city after the capital. A 5th Revolution Ghost King was captured just like that.

And the reason? Simply for acting recklessly within Fengdu City and turning an ancient tower to dust.

One must know that in Ghost Mountain City, such a figure would be considered a Patriarch-level existence!

How could they be captured so easily?

But in Fengdu City, it wasn’t just 5th Revolution Ghost Kings—even Saints could occasionally be seen.

“Who is she?” Ye Sheng looked toward the rear of the procession.

He saw a young woman seated in a blood-red palanquin carried by eight ghostly bearers.

These palanquin-bearing ghosts walked through the air, their feet treading on nothingness as they advanced, yet their speed was astonishingly fast.

“Shh! Quiet!” The Elder, upon seeing the young woman in the blood-red palanquin, immediately changed expression. He placed a finger to his lips, gesturing for Ye Sheng to remain silent, appearing deeply wary of the young woman.

“She is the Patrol Envoy of Fengdu City!

Also a 5th Revolution Ghost King!

But she has another identity…”

The Elder whispered, “She is a student of Fengdu University.”

“A student of Fengdu University serving as the Patrol Envoy of Fengdu City?” Ye Sheng was puzzled.

“That’s perfectly normal. These students assist in guarding Fengdu City to earn academic credits.

Moreover, students of Fengdu University are exceptionally powerful.

Among peers of the same realm, Cultivators from the outside world are no match for them.

This burly fellow, as a Ghost King, is no ordinary figure, right? Yet in the hands of a Fengdu University student, he probably couldn’t even withstand a single move before being captured.” The Elder sighed with emotion.

Nearby, the diners also laughed, “This burly Ghost King was still acting arrogantly yesterday, boasting about who could capture him? And today, he’s been pierced by chains and brought back under arrest. Look at him—half-dead already! Haha! Let him be arrogant again!”

“Exactly, does he even know where this is? This is Fengdu City. What does a 5th Revolution Ghost King amount to here?”

Several diners chimed in.

“Where are they heading?” Ye Sheng watched the eerie procession moving through the dim night.

The Elder replied, “They’re likely going to Fengdu University’s ‘Soul-Suppressing Hall.’ With two lives lost, this burly Ghost King is probably going to be imprisoned there for many years.

That Soul-Suppressing Hall is specifically used to detain powerful Cultivators like these.”

“To Fengdu University?” Ye Sheng’s eyes lit up. He had been troubled by not knowing the location of Fengdu University.

If he could hitch a ride with this eerie procession, wouldn’t that save him the trouble of searching tirelessly?

“Hey? Young friend… what are you planning to do?” The Elder, picking up a peanut to chew, saw Ye Sheng already rising and flying toward the eerie procession and couldn’t help but panic.

This was practically suicide. The Patrol Envoy of Fengdu City was not to be provoked.

But Ye Sheng moved with extreme speed, intercepting the entire eerie procession head-on.

“Who goes there?” The little ghost leading the procession with gongs was startled by the sudden appearance of a figure and shouted sharply.

It had always been ghosts scaring people, but this time, a person had startled a whole group of Ghost Officers.

Once they recovered, they grew furious. This person was truly blind, daring to intercept the Patrol Envoy’s procession. Did he also want to spend a couple of days locked up in the Soul-Suppressing Hall?

The disheveled, burly Ghost King lifted his head, his crimson eyes sweeping over Ye Sheng as he licked his parched lips.

“Who is it?”

At that moment, the young woman in the blood-red palanquin was also disturbed. She lifted the curtain to look outside, her aura as a 5th Revolution Ghost King surging forth like raging waves.

Someone actually dared to block her palanquin.

“Is this kid looking to die?” In the tavern, a young man smirked strangely, thinking to himself that this truly was a country bumpkin, daring to stop anyone’s carriage.

“This young man…” The Elder shook his head, powerless to help. After all, he had provoked a 5th Revolution Ghost King who was also a student of Fengdu University. As an ordinary person, how could he possibly intervene?

“Is this kid crazy?” The diners were also taken aback, each crowding by the window to watch, unable to understand what this young man in a tracksuit was trying to do.
