Chapter 1310 1269: The Goodwill of the Ghost Horse Clan

Tens of thousands of Ghost Horses, accompanied by the terrifying King of Ghost Horses, immense as a mountain, came together, creating an undoubtedly shocking scene! Chen Fei's expression changed, and the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace's heart accelerated, cold sweat streaming down his face.

After all, purely in terms of power, the King of Ghost Horses is probably even more formidable than the humanoid beast-beast ghost in the Yin River. In front of that humanoid beast-beast ghost, he, the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace, wasn't even sure he could escape alive, let alone face the even more terrifying King of Ghost Horses.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of Ghost Horses weren't to be underestimated either. These ghost beasts, once mature, generally possess the strength of the Fourth or Fifth Heavenly Layer in the True Person Realm, and among them, the outstanding ones can reach the First, Second, or Third Heavenly Layer in the Ghost King Realm, which is not uncommon.

So, what to do about such a terrifying situation? How to escape? The Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace had no idea...

"W-what should we do now?" he asked Chen Fei again, his face turning pale. In his view, now, probably only the Golden Divine Bird within Chen Fei's body could save them, reverse heaven and earth.

Provided that these Ghost Horses were truly coming for them.

Chen Fei heard the words but didn't speak, only looked with a solemn expression at the surging flood of tens of thousands of horses and the King of Ghost Horses. A bead of cold sweat gradually slid down his neck.

Earlier, when they were far apart, he didn't feel it, but now that the King of Ghost Horses was charging straight at them, he could clearly sense it—the King of Ghost Horses was indeed terrifying, too powerful! Even that previous humanoid beast-beast ghost fell short of this by more than a notch.

Soon, that giant figure as massive as a mountain finally appeared clearly in his view.

The King of Ghost Horses was too gigantic, like a hellish unicorn, with a horn on its forehead, fur as dazzling as black gemstones, and eyes like Ghost Horse dragon lanterns! Extremely large, exuding ruthlessness and cruelty...

Moreover, the King of Ghost Horses was also emitting an extremely terrifying aura, as if it could destroy heaven and earth, making people feel incredibly fearful.

Under such terrifying pressure, both Chen Fei and the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace had somewhat stiff bodies, feeling immense pressure.

Faced with such a scene, even Chen Fei was sweating profusely, considering whether to summon the Divine Bird of the Celestial Universe to save him once more. But then, the next scene left both him and the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace staring wide-eyed in shock.

Only to see that at this moment, the King of Ghost Horses, stopping before Chen Fei, seemed not to hold any hostility toward Chen Fei; on the contrary, it appeared to harbor goodwill towards him.

"Whinny."

The King of Ghost Horses snorted mightily, its enormous body shrinking by more than a hundredfold. Now, the 'framed' image with Chen Fei seemed much more harmonious.

At this moment, the King of Ghost Horses was only several feet tall, with vibrant mane and tail, stepping on black clouds, majestic, and it even slightly nodded towards Chen Fei in greeting, simultaneously letting out a friendly roar.

"Uh..." Chen Fei and the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace were dumbfounded. This King of Ghost Horses wasn't here to trouble them but to express goodwill? What a surprise...

"How is this possible..." The Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace was extremely shocked inside, unable to understand what was happening. Reasonably speaking, living people with vitality like them were not appealing to the Ghost Clan's or ghost beasts' preferences.

Being attacked was a natural occurrence, but this powerful, terrifying King of Ghost Horses coming to express goodwill was too strange, right? The Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace was utterly confused, not knowing what was happening.

"Are you their relative?" Unable to think clearly due to confusion, the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace suddenly blurted this out, nearly causing Chen Fei to choke.

"Shoo shoo shoo! Go away, can you speak properly? You're their relative..." Chen Fei waved dismissively, as if shooing away a fly. He was alive; how could he be related to these ghost beasts? Isn't that a joke!

"Uh...slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue...wait, look, what are they up to?" The Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace realized and awkwardly smiled, then suddenly pointed to the Ghost Horse herd ahead.

Next, something even more unbelievable happened to them.

Only to see that the Ghost Horse herd split apart, and a majestic little Ghost Horse walked out. The majestic little Ghost Horse also had a horn, stepped on black clouds, mane and tail vibrant... just like a replica of the King of Ghost Horses.

"This must be the King of Ghost Horses' son?" Chen Fei glanced at the little Ghost Horse, then at the big one, and couldn't help but firmly mumble. Except for the size, the two were identical, surely no mistake...

Whinny!

In the next moment, the little Ghost Horse galloped towards Chen Fei, leaping into Chen Fei's embrace.

Currently, the little Ghost Horse's size was no larger than an ordinary small dog, just perfect for Chen Fei to hold.

Meanwhile, the little Ghost Horse also called out to Chen Fei with goodwill and joy several times, then spit out a fist-sized, glowing fruit from its mouth into Chen Fei's hand.

Upon seeing the fruit, the Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace's eyes immediately lit up green.

"Crazy, this must be madness!? Isn't this the Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit... it must be an illusion! This thing can help ghost beasts break through to the Ghost Emperor Realm... how, how could they possibly give it away?"

Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace's eyes widened, almost popping out. This Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit is the renowned 'Sacred Fruit' among the Ghost Clan! Even many Saint Infant Realm figures would drool over it, but now, but now this... this must be a dream, right? It has to be!

"Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit?" Chen Fei looked at the fruit, momentarily stunned, glancing at the King of Ghost Horses, who nodded at him kindly. Chen Fei hesitated for a moment, then reached out to gently stroke the little ghost horse's head, smiling as he asked, "Is this for me?"

Neigh!

With Chen Fei stroking its head, the little ghost horse wore a look of enjoyment and neighed twice in its youthful beastly voice, nodding its head twice in a human-like manner. This indicated that the Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit was indeed a gift for Chen Fei.

"Thank you all so much." Chen Fei showed a joyful smile on his face. The Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit is undoubtedly a treasure, worth an entire fortune; it could be used as the main material for many high-level elixirs and spiritual herbs in the future. In other words, this item could be of significant value in his hands!

With this in mind, Chen Fei hesitated for a moment before taking out the vessel containing the Dragon Essence Liquid. Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted in the air, and the little ghost horse was the first to catch the scent, its eyes fixed intently, drooling as it stared at the Dragon Essence Liquid longingly.

"Don't worry, there's some for you to drink." Seeing the little ghost horse's greedy look, Chen Fei laughed and poured about one-fifth of the Dragon Essence Liquid from the vessel into the little ghost horse's mouth.

Neigh! The little ghost horse immediately neighed excitedly, its body crackling with the tangible sound of bones colliding and transforming. A distinct aura quickly emanated from the little ghost horse.

Dragon Essence Liquid is a treasure for many races! Naturally, the Ghost Horse tribe is no exception.

This little one, able to drink Dragon Essence Liquid at such a young age and undergo the baptism, is bound to have immeasurable achievements in the future.

"Roar!"

Neigh!

The King of Ghost Horses obviously understood the situation, let out a grateful roar towards Chen Fei, full of thanks.

At his level, the Dragon Essence Liquid didn't have much effect anymore, but it was different for his son, the little ghost horse. Being able to drink the Dragon Essence Liquid during its juvenile stage meant that in the future, his son's achievements might easily surpass his own!

"Little one, thank you for the Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit. We're leaving now." Chen Fei kindly nodded towards the King of Ghost Horses and then smiled at the little ghost horse in his arms.

Roar! The little ghost horse reluctantly roared towards Chen Fei before unwillingly leaving his embrace.

In the next moment, the little ghost horse let out a mighty roar, and instantly, countless ghost horses made way, lining up on both sides, their heads bowed as if respectfully seeing Chen Fei and the others off.

"Thank you all for the fruit. Goodbye." Chen Fei waved to the King of Ghost Horses and the little ghost horse before turning to leave. The elder from Hundred Knowledge Palace immediately followed.

"You actually gave the Dragon Essence Liquid to them. You're really generous." After leaving the range of the ghost horse herd, the elder of the Hundred Knowledge Palace glanced behind, puzzled, "But why did they give you the Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit? I can't understand..."

"The Earth Ghost Glazed Fruit is much more precious than a bit of Dragon Essence Liquid. Besides, things are lifeless, but people are alive, so why not create some goodwill?"

Chen Fei said, and then thoughtfully added, "I remember the Lion Ghost King once said that this herd of ghost horses used to reside by the Yin River for generations. Could it be that they learned we dealt with that lair of Sin Dragons, allowing them to return to their previous life and that's why they came to thank us?"

"Err... is that so?" The elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace was stunned for a moment, hesitating for quite some time before saying, "Perhaps, it's possible... So where do we go now? Are we leaving?"

"Of course!" Chen Fei nodded as a matter of fact, "Did you forget I still need to hurry to the Flower God Sect? Considering the time, it shouldn't be much longer, right?"

"There's still about two or three months left. But don't worry, I'll arrange for the teleportation formation as soon as I get out, and you can go directly." The elder from the Hundred Knowledge Palace said.

"Then why are we still standing here? Let's go!" Chen Fei said.

A few days later, Chen Fei and his companion returned to Ghost City again and then directly returned to the Ancient City of the Heavenly Capital from the entrance and exit of Ghost City.

This entire trip, a thrilling journey to Ghost City, took Chen Fei a whole year.

But fortunately, the gains were substantial! Profits were incredibly high...

"Young friend, Elder Xue, you're back?" At this moment, a voice came from the side. Chen Fei and the elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace turned to the source of the sound, finding it was the King Bear of Fury from Hao Hai Sect. He had been waiting there for over a year.
