She was a beauty of a different kind, filled with voluptuous curves and abundant features. She wore a dress with a long flowing robe, loose sleeves, and a golden belt at her slender waist. Her long black hair loosely fell to a height of knees, with various accessories and beads attached.

Still, despite her beautiful attire, if one paid even closer attention, they would see that she more than meets the eye. Her hair was covered in dirt, carrying a pale greenish color on each strand as her skin was as pale as ice seeming to have no vibrancy.

Looking into her deep black eyes, one would instantly feel a profound sense of grief and loneliness. A gloomy aura shrouding her being white figure seemed almost ephemeral as if she was no different from a ghost.

This face though gloomy, carried a startling resemblance to figure which many had not seen since the last battle that occurred in these lands. A familiar face that all of the natives knew full well.

"It's... I can't believe it's her! How can this be?!" One person said in shock, momentarily forgetting about being trapped by the barrier dome.

"Eh? Who is she? Who is this expert?!" One person who wasn't from these lands asked as he glanced at her in fear.

"She... she is the wife of the late king of our Bright Flame Kingdom. A woman who was believed to be dead during the time of the chaos six mounts ago, Madam Xuan of the Xuan Imperial Clan." A native practitioner said while trembling.

"This... how can this be?!" Another person hearing this responded in hysteria.

A distance away from these practitioners, Feng Yu, Leon, and the others, could be seen looking up above with a variety of expressions. The faces of Dai Lin, Feng Yu, Miren Fei, and Lang Kuang being the only ones to have slightly surprise looks while those belong Leon and rest were only pure confusion and a hint of caution to this woman's aura.

Feng Yu looked at the female that loomed up above in shock. He thought, "I would have never thought that she would still be alive... is she the fabled 'weeping ghost' in this region?"

Dai Lin, who saw her face frowned as she spoke, "Young Master, it's strange, I am certain that she had died back then. The powers of the Ancient Dragon Construct had animated all of those ghost corpses created by those Soul Eater Ghostfiends."

"That's right! I saw it too. There is no way that she should be alive, much less with this power now!" Miren Fei also added with a look of certainty in her eyes.

"......." Lang Kuang chose to remain silent as he sniffed the air for a moment with a puzzled look on his face, "Odd, she still smells no different from a corpse. I smell no vital force within her..."

Feng Yu hearing their words, showed a confused look on his face as he thought, "What's going on? Could it be that she's also apart of this Mystery Pavilions plot?" He pondered as his eyes fixed towards the distant pavilion that had created the pillar of light.

As Feng Yu and the others were surprised by Madam Xuan's sudden appearance, Leon and Myria had startled expression on their faces.

"This woman! I'm certain of it; she's a Ghost Spawn!" Leon exclaimed in shock.

"This isn't good! We have to get out of here now before she begins her assault." Myria replied with a similar look of dread on her face.

Feng Yu and the others hearing this were even more surprised, he looked at the duo and inquired, "Ghost Spawn? Leon, Myria, what kind of being is that?"

Leon hearing this shook his head and replied in a grave tone, "This isn't the time for explanations, all we can say right now is that she is a spawn that came from the evolution of a Ghost Corpse. We must destroy the barrier of light and get out of here this instant!"
