Madam Ghost Child trusted Black Crow so there was no need for verification. She patted the swaddle in her arms and a piercing shriek was heard.
Moments later, a silhouette carrying a coffin landed heavily, shattering the ground and sending dust into the air.
Madam Ghost Child must have brought Coffin Man here as well.
At this moment, Python Monk and Blood Bat's expressions were extremely ugly.
Sure enough, Evil Scholar's prediction was true. Madam Ghost Child and Coffin Man were here as well.
With this, they had no hope of winning. Unless they had stronger reinforcements, they wouldn't stand a chance.
Even one expert with a Rank 4 pet beast wouldn't be enough. They would need at least two.
The current situation was no less than a war between intermediate countries.
Forget them, even the masked man with the tall hat was stunned. He clearly didn't expect things to escalate. If it was just Black Crow and Evil Scholar, things would still be manageable. But now that Madam Ghost Child and Coffin Man were here as well, even he wouldn't be able to handle the situation.
Subconsciously, the man turned to look at the Jade Dragon Temple.
It seemed like he had a pillar of support there.
However, no one noticed that after Madam Ghost Child and Coffin Man arrived, a person was rapidly approaching them. As he approached, Xiao Huo, who had been suppressed by the Rank 4 jade dragon all this while, sensed something and became agitated. He began to resist, flames surging all over his body. The Rank 4 jade dragon was overflowing with frost energy and it seemed like it was struggling to hold it back.
The next instant, a person landed and tossed a small flag into the air.
That little flag was golden in color, and there were many pictures of nebulas on it. Resplendent flowing light flowed out, and the moment it flew out, it disappeared without a trace like an illusion. However, the instant the little golden flag disappeared, the surrounding environment seemed to have changed slightly.
But upon closer inspection, nothing seemed to have changed.
Only Madam Ghost Child's pupils dilated as she mumbled to herself, "This is … the Nebula Barrier!"
By then, the newcomer had arrived at the scene. He was wearing a demon mask and behind him was the silhouette of a steel door that exuded a domineering aura.
Madam Ghost Child and Black Crow were extremely familiar with this aura. They immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Curator."
It was obviously Lin Jin.
For the past two days, he had been cooped up inside the Museum of Deadly Beasts, leaning against the curator's door of the Visitation Hall, studying the Nebula Barrier. He was so focused on his studies that he forgot to eat or sleep. For the past two days, he hadn't had a single drop of water.
Most importantly, Lin Jin didn't even notice that two days had passed. He was so immersed in cultivating the Nebula Barrier that he couldn't extricate himself from.
Lin Jin's gains over the past two days were tremendous.
With Black Crow's ancient spell manual and the Nebula Flag he obtained from the old dragon, Lin Jin actually managed to learn something from it.
Although it might only be a tiny bit of cultivation, it was still an orthodox Daoist technique.
And so, for the next two days, Lin Jin used his spell and psyche to refine this flag, imbuing it with the aura of the Visitation Hall and the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
He didn't expect that the flag would turn golden after being tainted by a spell.
Lin Jin himself had learned the basics of the Nebula Barrier.
Back then, he had wanted to continue his studies, but when he looked up, he realized that a lot of time had passed.
There was an hourglass inside the Museum of Deadly Beasts, so Lin Jin realized that he had been inside for two whole days.
This had never happened before.
Lin Jin didn't think too much about it. He immediately jumped out of the museum and returned to Jade Dragon City. Immediately, he sensed Xiao Huo's whereabouts and hurried over. When he saw the situation, he took out the golden flag and cast the Nebula Barrier to seal off the area.
Of course, Lin Jin wasn't afraid of anyone escaping. He just wanted to seal off the area so that he could communicate with the Museum of Deadly Beasts and borrow its power.
Right now, he was standing there, wearing a demon mask and the curator's door of the Visitation Hall looming behind him. His aura was terrifying and anyone could tell that this man was an expert.
Lin Jin's entrance immediately shocked the crowd.
Evil Scholar and Coffin Man were both excited. Surprisingly, Coffin Man was the first to react. As Madam Ghost Child bowed, he took a step forward and knelt down to pay his respects.
Others like Evil Scholar only admired and worshiped the curator, but Coffin Man was different.
Even his life was saved by the curator.
If it weren't for the curator's guidance to Madam Ghost Child, Coffin Man would have died several days ago. Hence, since the curator and he had a lifesaver, it was only natural for him to pay his respects.
Although Lin Jin had never met Coffin Man and Evil Scholar before, he could recognize them at a glance from Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child's descriptions.
On this side were familiar faces. On the other side …
Lin Jin immediately spotted Xiao Huo who was restrained by a jade dragon.
He frowned.
It was a jade dragon again. Although this jade dragon wasn't the old dragon, Lin Jin was already displeased. Now that he had come out, he was ready to teach that old dragon a lesson so he didn't hold back.
With a flick of his wrist, a silver needle flew out. It was ten times faster and more powerful than before.
Even Lin Jin was startled by this.
The silver needle pierced through the jade dragon's body. Driven by the immense destructive force, the needle flew out from the side of the jade dragon's body, leaving a bloody hole the size of a thumb. Blood splattered everywhere. The jade dragon let out a pained cry as it lost all its strength. Xiao Huo also seized the opportunity and suddenly burst out a ball of flames. He flipped over and bit down on the jade dragon's neck. In an instant, he had actually bitten off the head of the Rank Four jade dragon.
Everyone was horrified by this scene, especially the man in the tall hat. He let out a blood-curdling scream and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Needless to say, that Rank 4 jade dragon was his pet beast. Now that it was killed on the spot, it must have suffered a severe backlash as well.
Wearing a mask, Lin Jin looked surprised. He didn't expect to injure the jade dragon so badly, giving Xiao Huo a chance to retaliate.
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin figured out what was going on.
It was the Nebula Barrier Technique that had strengthened his cultivation.
That was why the coiled wire needle was so powerful.
In short, this move immediately stunned everyone. On the other side, Python Monk immediately withdrew his giant python, while Blood Bat also recalled his Vampire Bat. The two of them were already filled with fear and had thoughts of retreating.
The man in the tall hat came back to his senses but he was still trembling. Perhaps it was because of the backlash from the sudden death of his pet beast, or perhaps it was because of his anger.
After all, that was a Rank 4 pet beast and a precious jade dragon at that.
"You … how dare you kill my pet beast! I will never forgive you!" the man bellowed, venting his anger.
With the death of the Rank 4 jade dragon, the remaining Rank 3 jade dragons instantly lost control and scattered in all directions. However, once they were far away, they couldn't escape no matter how hard they tried. It was as if there was an invisible wall imprisoning them.
At this, Python Monk and Blood Bat panicked.
This expert who appeared out of nowhere was too ridiculous. They had no idea how he managed to injure the Rank 4 jade dragon so severely. Although this expert didn't directly kill the jade dragon, anyone could tell that if this expert hadn't intervened, the fire wolf wouldn't have been able to kill the jade dragon.
Xiao Huo naturally sensed Lin Jin's blood contract power, but Lin Jin had given him an order, so Xiao Huo didn't approach him. As for White Ape, without the blood contract power, Lin Jin's aura was completely the curator's. Even White Ape couldn't recognize him. His face was filled with awe, not daring to approach him.
