The Grand Competition Venue.
Due to Scarlett Jennings’s sudden disappearance from the Ghost Market, even the Image Keeping Talisman lost contact, causing quite a stir in the venue.
Luckily, the chaos didn’t last long.
Just as the Sea City Taoist Academy’s principal was about to search for Scarlett Jennings’s soul, everyone suddenly sensed a thick concentration of Shadow Energy on the stage.
The host, Sawyer, being a Ghost Cultivator, was most familiar with such Shadow Energy.
As the Shadow Energy began to spread across the stage, Sawyer’s expression became more serious, and he stepped forward suddenly,
"It’s the Ghost Energy of the Yin Mountain Ghost King!"
Both people on and off stage, as well as those watching the broadcast, were puzzled. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Why would the Yin Mountain Ghost King come here?
Could Scarlett Jennings’s disappearance be related to the Yin Mountain Ghost King?
While pondering, they saw a Ghost Gate slowly reveal itself in the Shadow Energy concentrated area on the stage.
As the Ghost Gate opened, Shadow Energy parted ways, and a figure slowly emerged from within.
Sawyer swiftly approached the gate the moment it appeared, standing solemnly.
As a Ghost Cultivator of Spiritual Affairs, he didn’t need to greet the Ghost King with a bow, but his attitude couldn’t be overly casual.
Seeing Sawyer’s stance, everyone assumed it was the Yin Mountain Ghost King who had arrived.
However, as the Shadow Energy dissipated, the figure in the Ghost Gate gradually revealed itself on the Spiritual Screen.
Everyone in the venue and those watching the broadcast were stunned.
"Sca... Scarlett?!"
No matter how the Mystical Sect and Demon Clan viewers reacted,
The netizens who managed to get into the mysterious live stream were excited.
[Can anyone explain how we’re seeing the Ghost King during the live stream?]
[What does this mean? Isn’t this our girl? Did she become the Ghost King?]
[Don’t say silly things, she’s human! It’s probably a misunderstanding. But I must say, this entrance with the Ghost Gate is incredibly cool!]
[Ah, I thought I was really going to see the Ghost King, but +1 to the elegance.]
Meanwhile, on the stage.
As Scarlett Jennings emerged from the Ghost Gate, her Image Keeping Talisman finally resumed normal function.
Everyone watched as the Ghost Gate, imbued with the Yin Mountain Ghost King’s presence, slowly closed behind her and then quickly faded away with the surrounding Shadow Energy.
Since all attention was drawn to the stage, few noticed when Samuel Chalmers’s previously missing figure returned unnoticed to the venue.
As for Scarlett Jennings, she faced the crowd before her, stunned, and asked the question she was most concerned about,
"The competition time, has it ended yet?"
Ghost Market time doesn’t match reality, and Scarlett was delayed between the two, so she wasn’t entirely sure.
She certainly hoped she hadn’t been disqualified.
Fortunately, Gregory Xander quickly responded, answering her question,
"No, we all cleared the challenge."
Scarlett Jennings smiled immediately, "That’s good."
The crowd: ...
Everyone was curious where you disappeared to, yet you’re only concerned about whether the competition ran overtime?
