After his first 'setback' with the curator, Black Crow could be arrogant and cocky elsewhere, but in the Visitation Hall, he behaved himself. Not only did he retract his aura, but he also instructed the black falcon to do so. He didn't need to say this out loud. The black falcon had been scared out of its wits last time and was even more obedient than Black Crow.
He Qing couldn't resist saying to the old man who just arrived, "Sir, please lower your voice. The curator won't be happy when he arrives."
"Curator? What curator? Who dares to put on airs in front of me? " The old man had a fiery temper and so did his pet beast. It grew to a height of ten feet and let out a ferocious roar, looking menacing.
He Qing shook her head helplessly and kept quiet.
Since the old man wasn't going to listen, she couldn't say anything else. But no matter who it was, the curator would surely behave himself when he arrived.
Just then, door number nine was pushed open.
There was a newcomer!
It was a woman who entered through door number nine.
She looked to be in her thirties at most. She was a charming young woman but her expression was wooden. She was carrying a swaddle and after entering, she only glanced around before focusing her attention on the swaddle in her arms. She could be heard humming a nursery rhyme.
"Baby don't cry, baby don't make a fuss. Baby is mommy's cotton jacket …"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Why was there a young woman here?
How could an ordinary person come in?
He Qing felt that they were all 'invited' by the curator. They were all elites so it was strange for an ordinary woman to suddenly appear with a child.
However, she soon realized that Black Crow, the strongest among them, seemed to have remembered something and moved away from the woman.
It wasn't just Black Crow. Jiang Ziqi was the same. He felt that this woman was a monster.
Only the tyrannosaurus old man who entered through door number eight shouted, "What's going on? You even brought a woman with a child. Are you all mute? I'm asking you a question. "
In the next moment, the old man realized that the few people from before were looking at him in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.
The old man was stunned. He quickly realized that they weren't looking at him but behind him.
He immediately turned around.
The woman who was carrying the swaddle was now standing behind him. She raised her head and stared at the old man with an extremely strange expression.
With just a glance, the irascible and arrogant old man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
From his head to his toes, he was thoroughly cold.
"Shh, you're disturbing my sleep."
It was a simple sentence, but it sent chills down one's spine when they heard it.
This woman's expression, gaze, and tone were simply superb.
Most importantly, when did she arrive?
Moreover, why was his aura so terrifying?
Even his pet beast, the tyrannosaurus, sensed something. It shrunk its neck and stared fearfully at the swaddle in the woman's arms.
The tyrannosaurus elder's body stiffened. He had a feeling that if he raised his voice again, he might die.
Perhaps he was lucky, but at this moment, the wooden door number 10 was pushed open. Because of this, the horrifying woman's attention was attracted, and he had the chance to retreat, away from the horrifying woman.
Wooden door number ten opened and a cloud of mist gushed out. An old man with an extraordinary aura walked out from the mist. Upon closer inspection, one could see a huge shadow behind him.
Ye Yuzhou studied the scene before him curiously.
A few minutes ago, he was still in seclusion, teaching Yang Jie cultivation. But to his surprise, he sensed something strange with his pet beast so he went to check on it. To his surprise, his pet beast was being sucked into a crack that had appeared out of thin air.
Who was Ye Yuzhou?
He was the number one expert of Maple City's Friar Association with a blood contract at the eighth realm. Not many people had seen his pet beast's true appearance before. When he noticed this anomaly, he immediately rushed forward and entered the crack.
Then, he saw a wooden door with the number 'ten' written on it.
Ye Yuzhou had encountered many dangers in his life. Even in such a bizarre situation, he remained calm and unwavering. After entering the door, he saw the scene inside.
There were people and beasts, and there were quite a few of them.
At first glance, he saw a woman carrying a swaddle walking toward him.
The woman was still mumbling, "I told you to be quiet or else you'll disturb my baby's sleep. I finally managed to coax him to sleep but why won't you listen?"
"Why won't you listen?"
Ye Yuzhou immediately sensed danger. But even so, he didn't panic. With a sweep of his sleeve, the mist behind him gathered and condensed into a wall five feet in front of him.
Cloud Wall of Mist.
This was a very powerful defensive magical art. Although it was just a thin wall of mist, its hardness was comparable to a brick wall. It could withstand ordinary magical arts and even the attacks of wild beasts would not be able to shake it.
However, such a high-grade spell was instantly disintegrated by an invisible force as the woman moved forward. In fact, it even shattered with a cracking sound.
Ye Yuzhou was shocked.
He knew this woman wasn't simple but he didn't expect her to be this strong.
"Thousand Cloud Lock."
He moved even faster. Raising his hands to form a seal, his movements were as smooth as flowing water. The mist behind him flew out like snakes and arrows, locking the woman's limbs in place in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had the strength of a thousand catties, dragging her down and slowing her down.
The woman's body froze for a moment. Then, her expression twisted. It was as if she was still a person one second ago, but in the next, she had turned into a malevolent demon.
Not only that, but a strange baby cry came from the swaddle in her arms.
Wah! Wah!
Those who heard this sound all felt dizzy and nauseous.
The next moment, there was a loud "Snap!"
The Cloud Lock was broken.
Ye Yuzhou was furious.
"Hmph, where did this evil creature come from? I won't tolerate your arrogance."
After saying that, Ye Yuzhou decided to get serious. In the clouds behind him, the black shadow started to become clear. At this time, it could already be seen that it was a flood dragon. Its figure changed and merged with the water vapor in the clouds. At this moment, Ye Yuzhou's aura also skyrocketed. His clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. With a wave of his sleeve, the flood dragon behind him spewed out water vapor. The water vapor condensed into swords. In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of water vapor swords floating in the air.
Black Crow's eyes narrowed as he mumbled to himself, "This Visitation Hall sure is impressive. To think they have such a powerful guest. Not only does she have a Rank 4 pet beast, her cultivation level is also higher than mine. But against Madam Ghost Child, my chances aren't high."
Clearly, Black Crow knew where that strange woman came from.
People like Black Crow, who grew up in a special circle, knew of many crooked experts because he himself was the infamous Black Feather Reaper.
However, crooked experts were also divided into different ranks.
Madam Ghost Child's status in the crooked underworld was above his.
