In the small courtyard of Sword Gate Town.
Lu Xuan circled the courtyard, found no signs of intrusion, and finally reassured, he opened the Thousand Illusion Cloud Smoke Array and entered the courtyard.
As soon as he entered, a chilly yin aura hit his face.
Eerie winds whistled across the yard, and resentful spirits' roars echoed from time to time. The whole place was filled with the strong scent of blood, presenting a scene akin to the underworld.
"I wonder how many of the remaining four Ghost Face Stone Mushrooms have completely matured."
The last time he visited the courtyard, only one Ghost Face Stone Mushroom was completely mature, from which he had obtained an evil fourth-level magical tool, Soul Lantern, from the Light Cluster.
Since Lu Xuan considered himself a Righteous Path Cultivator, he obviously did not expose such an evil artifact in front of his sect members and instead kept it deep within his storage bag.
