[Synopsis]
Liu Ming, since he was young, lived in a savage prison named Savage Island where the prisoners aren’t controlled by any guard or security. When the island sinks due to “mysterious” events, only a handful of people survive – those survivors are then pursued by the government.
On the other hand at another place two practitioners are worrying about what will happen to them because the young master that they were supposed to protect had died.
Their young master looks nearly like our MC
What will happen?

[Reason]
This novel is a little different from the rest, in this novel (at least to the translated part) MC does not pick random fights and only fights when there is a chance to win. There aren't 100's of cannon fodder enemies that randomly pop up, MC thinks before he acts and ghosts and demons could be captured as pets such as the White Bone Scorpion, this sets it apart from other novels. Lastly, the barbarian ghost sect has a different from the normal cultivation technique that uses ghosts and demons in battle.

P.S.- Most novels on here are about sword/blade force being used and doesn't have novels that use ghosts in battle.
