Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

After successfully acquiring their mount companions, Yunxuan and his companions returned to Haoyue City.

As soon as Yunxuan returned to the Haoyue Branch Hall, two familiar figures came to greet him from the left and right. They were Li Xin and Lin Jialu.

Four years have passed, and both girls have grown into even more beautiful young women.

Li Xin still sported her signature neat pink ponytail, and her light armor accentuated her agile figure, exuding a heroic spirit.

Lin Jialu wore a well-fitting light blue mage robe, her long light blue hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, making her temperament even more gentle and elegant.

"Little brother! You're finally back!" Li Xin's face was filled with undisguised joy.

"Where's your mount? Summon it quickly so your sister can see how majestic and powerful it is!" Her tone was full of curiosity and anticipation.

Lin Jialu, who was standing to the side, did not ask directly like Li Xin.

But her beautiful light blue eyes were also fixed on Yun Xuan, their gazes filled with intense interest.

Yunxuan looked at the two women and a thought stirred in his mind.

A subtle spatial ripple appeared in the air beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light interwoven with gold and dark silver flashed by, and Yun Ye seemed to solidify directly from the light and shadow.

It then landed lightly and steadily on Yunxuan's slightly raised arm.

After landing on Yunxuan's arm, it gracefully preened the feathers under its wings that shimmered with dark silver patterns.

Then he looked up at Li Xin and Lin Jialu, his gaze scrutinizing but not hostile.

"Its name is Yun Ye, and it is a Holy Radiance Sky-Patrolling Falcon," Yun Xuan said, gently stroking Yun Ye's smooth feathers.

Li Xin stared at Yun Ye standing on Yun Xuan's arm, her beautiful pink and blue eyes widening instantly, filled with amazement!

"Wow! So handsome!" Li Xin couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes almost turning into stars.

"That aura, that appearance...it's just like yours, little brother!"

Her praise was genuine; Yun Ye's magnificent steed and Yun Xuan's handsome and composed demeanor truly complemented each other.

Lin Jialu stared intently, her beautiful eyes wide, and asked softly, "Yun Ye... what is its strength? I always feel a powerful sense of oppression emanating from it!"

Yunxuan smiled and replied, "Xiao Ye is an eighth-level magical beast."

"Level eight...that's really impressive." Lin Jialu nodded subconsciously.

As a mage, she was fairly clear about the conversion of monster levels.

An eighth-level magical beast is equivalent to a seventh-level human professional, which is indeed a very powerful aid.

However, after those words went through her and Li Xin's minds, they both froze almost simultaneously!

Li Xin's smile froze, and Lin Jialu's half-signal stopped in mid-air.

"Wh...what?!"

"An eighth-level magical beast?!"

Li Xin and Lin Jialu both exclaimed in surprise at the same time!

The two stared in utter shock, their eyes fixed on Yun Ye, as if trying to confirm whether they had misheard!

Level 8 Warcraft!

That's a terrifying existence equivalent to a seventh-tier human professional level!

In the entire Holy Temple Alliance, a seventh-tier expert is already a powerful figure capable of commanding an army!

And Yunxuan, a knight who had just entered the Holy Mountain of Knights, actually brought back an eighth-level magical beast as his mount?!

This is beyond just being "amazing"; it's downright horrifying!

Li Xin subconsciously compared herself to her teacher: "Level eight... my god! Teacher Nalan is only a sixth-tier Radiant Knight!"

The sixth and seventh ranks may seem to be only one rank apart, but their strength and status are worlds apart!

Yun Ye's strength has already surpassed that of the entire Haoyue Branch Palace!

Yun Ye seemed to have expected the two women's shock, and simply raised his head slightly with a hint of arrogance.

It emitted a clear, short cry, as if saying, "That's right, it's level eight."

Seeing the shocked expressions on the two "older sisters'" faces, Yunxuan smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Ye, say hello to the two older sisters."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ye nodded slightly to Li Xin and Lin Jialu as a greeting.

Li Xin finally recovered slightly from her shock, looking at Yun Ye and then at Yun Xuan with fervent eyes: "Little brother! You've really... struck gold this time! No, you've brought back a powerful figure! From now on, my safety will depend on you... and Yun Ye to protect me!"

She said it half-jokingly, but the envy in her tone and her happiness for Yunxuan were genuine.

Two years later, the Bright Moon Palace was divided.

Yunxuan stood on the stone slab in the center of the main hall, holding a long sword that was entirely silver-white in his hand.

Two years have made Yunxuan's figure more upright, his face has lost its childishness, and his dark and handsome appearance has become more profound.

Li Xin and Lin Jialu stood side by side not far from him. In the past two years, under Yun Xuan's guidance, their strength had also made great progress.

Moreover, both of them signed a contract with the Ghost Mask, becoming its true and natural host.

Yunxuan's Ghost Shadow Legion has also gained two more members.

At the same time, as their cultivation levels improved, the Ghost Shadow Legion also underwent some substantial changes.

First of all, Yunxuan could confirm that the Ghost Shadow Legion's strength was two major realms below that of the host.

In other words, Li Xin is now a fourth-tier Grand Knight, while the Ghost Shadow Legion's strength is equivalent to that of a second-tier professional.

In addition, the Ghost Legion learned new skills when they reached the second tier.

Taking Li Xin's helmet shadow as an example, after Li Xin broke through to the fourth tier, the helmet shadow she acquired mastered the skill "Ash Slash".

Then, Yunxuan summoned a helmeted figure.

After Li Xin completed the contract, her armor also underwent some changes, with fine dark red patterns appearing on the edges of the shadow armor.

The patterns, like dark red lava, flickered and undulated beneath the shadowed armor.

The shadowy longsword at the waist is dull and lifeless in normal times, but once in combat, the blade turns into a dark, scarlet color.

"Come."

On the training field, Yunxuan took three steps back to let Helmet Shadow make his move.

The helmeted figure drew a longsword, the dark red blade slashing diagonally upwards, leaving a trail of gray-black energy in its wake.

The air seemed to be scorched, and a sword aura about one meter long flew out from the blade, attacking Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan neither dodged nor yielded, and a silver-white longsword appeared in his hand. Then, a white light flashed, and it transformed into a pure white blade.

"laugh."

The gray-black sword energy collided with the silver light, melting and disintegrating as quickly as snow meeting the warm sun.

"Its power is not bad," Yunxuan commented.

The power of the skills used by the helmeted figure was not particularly strong, and it was not much different from ordinary second-tier knight skills.

However, this greatly enhanced the strength of the Ghost Legion.

To give a simple example, the most typical cannon fodder unit among the demon race is the Zelin dual-wielding demon.

Dual-wielding demons are the most numerous cannon fodder unit among demons.

Their strength is only equivalent to that of a second-tier beginner warrior, relying solely on physical close combat.

If the Dual-Sword Demon can only be considered cannon fodder, then the Shadow Ninja is certainly worthy of being called an elite monster.

But this still doesn't seem to be the upper limit of the Ghost Shadow Legion. The reason is simple: the ninja shadows under his command have already reached the strength of third-tier professionals.

Ninja Shadow is Sheng Cai'er's subordinate. Sheng Cai'er's strength should have broken through to the fifth level by now.

If the Ghost Shadow Legion's strength doesn't reach its limit, then if they reach the ninth rank, wouldn't the Ghost Shadow Legion they summon be at least seventh rank in strength?

Having such a legion would be enough to crush almost any force on the continent.

In the past two years, not only Li Xin and Lin Jialu, but also the hosts of the other masks have completed their contracts.

The nine types of ghost legions each have their own strengths.
