As Madam Ghost Child trusted Black Crow, she needed no verification. She simply patted the swaddle in her arms and then, there was a loud screech.
Just moments later, a silhouette carrying a coffin leaped over, smashing the ground as he landed, sending dust and debris flying.
Madam Ghost Child had called Coffin Man over.
Both Python Monk and Blood Bat looked horrified.
It was just as Black Crow had said earlier, Madam Ghost Child and Coffin Man were here.
Now, they had lost all hopes of victory. Unless an even stronger fighter appears to assist them, they could go up against this group.
One expert with a Rank 4 pet beast wouldn’t be enough. They needed at least two.
Great. This situation was now equivalent to a war between intermediate countries.
Them aside, even the man in the tall hat was stunned. He hadn’t expected things to escalate to this level. He could have still managed with Black Crow and Evil Scholar, but now that Madam Ghost Child and Coffin Man were here too, even he couldn’t help it anymore.
The man instinctively looked in the direction where Jade Dragon Temple was.
As if that place housed his support.
Meanwhile, no one noticed that the moment Madam Ghost Child and Coffin Man arrived, someone had begun to hurry toward them from a distance. As this person got closer, the Rank 4 Xiao Huo who had been suppressed this entire time sensed it and became excited. He started struggling wildly, letting his flames burn brighter, forcing the Rank 4 jade dragon to increase its ice power output and straining itself.
The next instant, a silhouette jumped down and tossed a tiny flag into the sky.
This tiny flag was gold in color, embroidered with constellations that glittered brilliantly. Once in the air, it disappeared like an illusion. However, the moment this flag disappeared, something seemed to have happened around them.
But at a closer look, as if nothing happened either.
Only Madam Ghost Child’s pupils dilated as she muttered to herself, “This is… the Nebula Barrier!”
Immediately, someone appeared. He was wearing the mask of an ominous demon with the illusion of a metal door behind him, emitting a forceful aura.
Both Madam Ghost Child and Black Crow were too familiar with this aura. They bowed at once. “Greetings, Curator.”
The newcomer was obviously Lin Jin.
He had been inside the Museum of Deadly Beasts for two days now, leaning against the curator’s door of the Visitation Hall, researching the Nebula Barrier. He had forgone sleep and food, practically letting nothing into his system.
It was mainly because Lin Jin himself hadn’t realized that two days had passed. He was completely immersed in researching the Nebula Barrier that he couldn’t pull away.
After two days, Lin Jin reaped immense benefits.
Thanks to Black Crow’s ancient manual and the old dragon’s nebula flag, Lin Jin managed to figure something out.
Although it was just a minor result, this was still an orthodox immortal’s technique.
And so, for the past two days, Lin Jin used spells and his psyche to modify this flag, imbuing it with the Visitation Hall and the Museum of Deadly Beast’s aura.
He was surprised when the flag turned golden after having psyche imbued on it.
Lin Jin himself had also acquired basic knowledge of the Nebula Barrier skill.
Back then, Lin Jin intended to research just for the sake of it. But when he looked up again, so much time had passed.
There was an hourglass inside the museum, so Lin Jin realized he had been here for two days.

This had never happened before.
Stopping his research, he exited the museum at once, returning to Jade Dragon City. Then, by sensing Xiao Huo’s whereabouts through their blood pact connection, Lin Jin rushed over only to meet with such a scene. At this, he decided to take out the golden flag and perform the Nebula Barrier, sealing off the area.
Lin Jin wasn’t afraid of them escaping. Rather, only by sealing the location could he link the place with the museum and borrow its divine powers.
At that moment, he stood tall with the demon’s mask and the curator’s metal door vaguely visible behind him. His aura was dangerously overwhelming that anyone could tell he was an expert.
Lin Jin’s appearance immediately stunned everyone.
Evil Scholar and Coffin Man were visibly excited. In that instant, Coffin Man was the first to react. The moment Madam Ghost Child bowed, he too, stepped forward and got on his knees to prostrate.
While the others, like Evil Scholar, only admired the curator at most, Coffin Man was different.
His life was saved by the curator.
If the curator hadn’t taught Madam Ghost Child a solution, Coffin Man would have died long ago. Hence, Curator was his savior and a greeting of this significance was worthy.
Although Lin Jin had never met Coffin Man and Evil Scholar before, from Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child’s past descriptions, he immediately recognized them both.
On this side, everyone was an acquaintance. On the other…
Lin Jin immediately noticed Xiao Huo who was being trapped by a jade dragon.
He frowned.
Another jade dragon! While this jade dragon wasn’t the same old dragon, Lin Jin was just as annoyed. Now that he came back out, he was ready to seek revenge from that old dragon and he planned to show no mercy.
With a flick of his fingers, a silver needle flew out with the force and speed ten times more than usual.
This startled even Lin Jin.
That jade dragon was instantly pierced by the needle. Following the enormous destructive force, the needle came out through the other end, puncture a large hole the size of a thumb. Blood began to splutter everywhere as the jade dragon shrieked in pain, loosening its hold. Xiao Huo secured this opportunity to let out a burst of flames. He rolled over and bit down on the jade dragon’s neck, abruptly tearing it apart. In a flash, the jade dragon’s head was torn from its body alive.
What a frighteningly gruesome scene. The man in the tall hat screamed before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
No doubt, this Rank 4 jade dragon was his pet beast. With his companion killed on the spot, he, as the owner naturally felt the feedback and was immediately injured.
Covered by the mask, Lin Jin looked shocked underneath. He hadn’t anticipated that his attack would deal that much damage to the jade dragon, giving Xiao Huo an opportunity to fight back.
After careful deliberation, Lin Jin understood why.
This Nebula Barrier had enhanced his cultivation.
Hence, increasing the might of his coiled wire needle.
All in all, this stunned everyone present. Python Monk retrieved his python almost immediately while Blood Bat called her pet beast back. Both of them looked horrified and showed all intention of leaving at once.
The man in the tall hat finally regained his senses but his body was trembling. Perhaps it was due to feedback from his blood-contracted pet beast being murdered, or maybe it was anger.
After all, that was a Rank 4 pet beast and a precious dragon to boot.
“You… How dare you kill my pet beast! You’ll pay for this!” the man roared, venting his fury.
Once the Rank 4 jade dragon died, the other Rank 3 jade dragons went out of control. They promptly scattered away but after fleeing a short distance, as if an invisible wall was blocking them, they were trapped in this vicinity.
At this, Python Monk and Blood Bat began to panic.
This newly appeared expert was too outrageous. Upon arrival, he used some unknown tricks to gravely injure a Rank 4 dragon. Although this expert didn’t directly cause the jade dragon’s death, everyone knew that if he never got involved, the fire wolf wouldn’t have been able to kill the jade dragon.
Xiao Huo naturally sensed it was Lin Jin through their blood pact, but Lin Jin gave him a command so Xiao Huo didn’t come close. White Ape wasn’t bound to Lin Jin in any way. As the latter’s aura now belonged completely to his ‘curator’ identity, even White Ape couldn’t recognize him so he looked apprehensive, keeping a safe distance away.
