same moment.

In the center of the cave hall.

Liu Yulan sat cross-legged in mid-air to practice. At this moment, she was trying to reach the late stage of Ghost King.

"Someone's coming."

Liu Yulan suddenly opened her eyes, her whole body was filled with ghostly energy, and she looked towards the cave entrance vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." A faint voice came from the cave entrance.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Liu Yulan was overjoyed, "...It's the master, this is the master's voice."

She quickly restrained her ghostly aura, and with a flash of her figure, she appeared at the entrance of the cave. She saw Lin Han and Lin Hao slowly walking in.

"Master!" Liu Yulan's face showed joy and she bowed.

Lin Han nodded slightly, his eyes swept over Liu Yulan, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems that your cultivation has improved again."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master." Liu Yulan replied respectfully.

Lin Han turned to look at Lin Hao and introduced him, "This is Lin Hao, my brother, and your master from now on."

"Greetings, Master." Upon hearing this, Liu Yulan immediately bowed to Lin Hao without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Hao was a little flattered and waved his hands quickly, "Oh, don't be like this, I, I..."

"Master, is this new master a little shy?" Liu Yulan smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.

Lin Han smiled faintly, "He's just like that, don't bother with him. Liu Yulan, I called you here because I have something important to ask you."

"Master, please tell me everything. I will tell you everything I know." Liu Yulan straightened her expression and answered respectfully.

Lin Han nodded and said in a deep voice, "Have any evil spirits appeared recently?"

"No? Master." Liu Yulan immediately shook her head in denial. "I have a ghost sensor for all the ghosts within a hundred miles. Whether they are powerful or ordinary, I will detect them immediately once they appear. However, there has indeed been an unusual yin energy lingering around recently, but I can't tell what it is."

Lin Han frowned slightly upon hearing this, wondering if this unusual aura was related to the strange events that those bloggers had encountered.

"I treated several people who were under the influence of Yin consciousness today, but only ghosts at the level of evil spirits or above can do this, so I came to ask you if any evil spirits have escaped your control recently." Lin Han said slowly, a serious look in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yulan's expression changed slightly. Then, after thinking carefully, she shook her head again, "Master, I indeed haven't noticed any signs of any evil spirits escaping. However, I can't rule out the possibility that some evil spirits are hiding deep enough to avoid my ghost sense."

Lin Han nodded, already making up his mind. It seemed that this matter was more complicated than he had imagined.

"By the way, Master, there is another kind of ghost that can cast a 'yin consciousness', could it be..."

When Liu Yulan said this, she suddenly stopped and a solemn look appeared on her face.

"What is it?" Lin Han keenly noticed her abnormality and asked.

Liu Yulan bit her lip, as if she found it difficult to speak: "Master, there is another possibility, that is... 'Nightmare Ghost'!"

"Nightmare ghost?" Lin Han and Lin Hao repeated the word at the same time, with a puzzled look on their faces.

Liu Yulan nodded and explained, "Yes, Master. 'Nightmare Ghosts' are a very special and rare species of ghosts. They are born with the ability to manipulate people's dreams and can even create illusions in reality. Even more terrifying, 'Nightmare Ghosts' are skilled at concealing their whereabouts. Even a Ghost King like me finds it difficult to detect their presence."

"It's quite interesting that even you, the Ghost King, can't detect it." Lin Han's eyes flashed with interest.

"Master, nightmare ghosts are not only difficult to detect, but their strength is often underestimated. Once they attack, they often catch people off guard." Liu Yulan added solemnly.

Lin Han nodded slightly, then asked: "If you fight this 'nightmare ghost', what are your chances of winning?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yulan frowned slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she slowly spoke, "Master, if I were to fight the Nightmare Ghost head-on, I would only have a fifty percent chance of success. The Nightmare Ghost is skilled in illusions. In their domain, I would be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, which would greatly reduce my strength."

Lin Han nodded, his expression not changing much, as if he had expected this to happen. He turned to look at Lin Hao and said with a smile: "Little brother, it seems that the opponent we are facing this time is not simple."

"Brother, no matter what 'nightmare ghost', devil, evil spirit or whatever, in front of my absolute strength, they are all vulnerable paper tigers!" Lin Hao patted his chest and said confidently.

"That's true. Apart from me, no one in this world can subdue you." Lin Han said jokingly with a smile.

Lin Hao scratched his head: "Hehe...Brother, there's nothing wrong with what you said."

After the joke, Lin Han turned his gaze to Liu Yulan again and said seriously, "Yulan, continue to pay attention to the surrounding movements. If you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately. My little brother and I are going to investigate a strange incident tonight, which may be related to this 'nightmare ghost'."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yulan's expression became even more solemn. She nodded and said firmly, "Master, Yulan understands. Do you need me to go with you? Although the nightmare ghost is difficult to deal with, one more person means more strength."

Lin Han thought for a moment and shook his head: "You stay here and continue to practice. Improving your strength is more important."

"Well... well, everything will be subject to the master's arrangements."

Although Liu Yulan was somewhat reluctant, she still followed Lin Han's decision. She knew that with her own strength, she might become a burden at a critical moment. Only by constantly improving could she better assist her master.

Lin Han also noticed a hint of loneliness in Liu Yulan's eyes, and then comforted her: "Liu Yulan, you are at a critical moment of breakthrough now, so it's better not to be distracted. Remember, strength is the only way to achieve it. After you break through, more important tasks will naturally be given to you."

Upon hearing this, the desolation in Liu Yulan's eyes disappeared, replaced by a determined light, "Yes, Master, Yulan will work hard to practice and live up to your expectations."

Lin Han nodded with satisfaction, then took Lin Hao out of the cave.

……

the other side.

Qin Chen sat in the hospital room, staring at his phone. His reward had already been posted, and now he just had to wait for someone to take it. He thought to himself that he must teach Lin Han a lesson this time, to let him know the consequences of offending the Qin family.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Qin Chen's mood gradually became anxious. At this moment, his phone screen suddenly lit up and a new message popped up. Qin Chen quickly clicked it to check, only to see that it was a message from an unfamiliar number: "I've accepted your reward."

Qin Chen was delighted and quickly replied, "Okay, as long as you can complete the task, money is not a problem."
