A month's time quietly passed by.
During this period of time, Cheng Hao took little Nannan to explore the mountains, rivers, lakes, and swamps during the day to search for treasures. To put it nicely, it was to broaden Nannan's horizons. At night, they stayed in the inner world to cultivate. Speaking of which, it was strange that the Planet's Battle Royale mission was surprisingly quiet. In this one month, it was rare that they did not encounter any other cultivators looking for trouble.
On this day, the two of them walked into a mortal city on foot. The originally peaceful life was thus interrupted.
The streets of the city, which should have been bustling with people and pedestrians, were now completely deserted. The entire city was filled with the sounds of gnawing and roaring of malicious ghosts. Gloomy ghost energy filled the entire city. This place had been turned into a ghost city by a powerful cultivator with a great divine ability!
Casually pushing open one of the doors, they saw that a family of three had already died in the room. Every corpse was dripping wet and all of them wore red clothes. They were hung from a wooden beam with weights tied to their legs and a thick layer of soil on the soles of their feet. Upon closer inspection, each corpse had a small pinhole sized wound between their eyebrows. It was as if someone had pierced through their eyebrows with a silver needle and taken away their soul.
"Big brother, did they commit suicide?" Little Nannan shrunk back in fear and tightly hugged Cheng Hao's arm.
"Suicide?" Cheng Hao sneered and could not help but shake his head. "Have you heard of anyone who would tie a weight to their leg before committing suicide?"
Carrying little Nannan, Cheng Hao walked out of the room. With a wave of his sleeve, a whirlwind spread out in all directions with him as the center. Instantly, the doors on both sides of the street were blown open and the scene in the house was revealed to the two of them.
Similar to the scene in the house before, there were corpses in red hanging from wooden beams in every house. A gloomy aura filled the air and the roars of malicious ghosts filled the air. However, not a single ghost appeared. It was as if their ghosts had already been taken away by someone.
"Big brother, were they killed by cultivators?" Little Nannan asked uneasily.
"That's right. Furthermore, they were refined to death by evil cultivators. Even in death, they can't rest in peace and will never have the chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
Seeing that Nannan did not understand, Cheng Hao gave a simple explanation.
"If the person who died in red didn't die a natural death, it's very likely that they turned into a vengeful spirit. Also, look at the way these people died. They were hung on the wooden beams, their bodies were wet, their legs were tied with metal weights, the soles of their feet were covered with mud, and they were wearing red clothes. "
"The wooden beams belong to the wood element, the water stains on the corpses belong to the water element, the metal scales belong to the metal element, the soil under the feet belongs to the earth element, and the red clothes belong to the fire element. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are all gathered together. After a person dies, his soul will definitely turn into the Five Elements Ghost King. If it is refined with a special evil path's divine ability, it can be refined into a Five Elements Ghost King. An entire city of Ghost Kings … What a big deal!"
"Big Brother, let's quickly leave this place. Nannan is scared."
After listening to Cheng Hao's explanation, Nannan was scared to the extreme. She pulled on Cheng Hao's arm, wanting to quickly leave this terrifying ghost city.
"Leave? We can't leave. Look behind you. Can you still see the road we came from? "
Cheng Hao shook his head with a serious expression. Behind them was an endless black abyss. They could no longer see the street they came from. In the endless abyss, ghostly figures were everywhere, and the gloomy aura was endless. Even with Cheng Hao's Human Immortal Body, he could feel waves of coldness.
"For his own personal gain, he slaughtered an entire city. He even used such an evil method to take their souls and refine them into a vengeful spirit. This person really deserves to die!"
After transmigrating to many worlds, Cheng Hao had seen a lot of fighting and killing. However, it was the first time he saw an evil cultivator slaughtering an entire city of mortals to cultivate an evil art.
"That's right. This kind of person really deserves to die!"
Little Nannan's expression was cold. She nodded subconsciously and agreed. However, in the next moment, she felt that she had said something wrong. A trace of fear appeared on her face. She quickly patted her chest and carefully looked at Cheng Hao.
"Big Brother, that person is too scary and evil. What should we do?"
Cheng Hao shook his head and gradually retreated. A white light flashed in his left eye as he stared at little Nannan. At this time, no matter how slow he was, he already understood that the little girl in front of him, who had called him 'Big Brother' for a month, was not an ordinary person at all.
The white light in his left eye became more intense, and the power of his Divine Sense to see through illusions gradually increased. In the originally blurry image, the figure of a young woman with long hair and white clothes gradually appeared. Although he could not see her face clearly, it was enough. Because Cheng Hao already knew who she was!
"Lin Xi! You are really haunting me like a ghost! "
Cheng Hao's expression was cold. The power of qi and blood in his entire body condensed in an instant. The golden radiance flickered. Even the dense gloomy aura in the ghost town turned into a warm spring breeze at this moment. The scorching aura unceasingly pervaded the air.
"Sigh, I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly!"
Little Nannan sighed. Suddenly, the radiance on her body shone brightly. The entire gloomy ghost town was illuminated as if it was daytime. Immediately after, the figure of the little girl disappeared. What replaced it was that peerless fairy-like, snow-white clothed familiar figure.
This person was precisely the one who fought a life and death battle with Cheng Hao back then. The one who was branded as a lunatic by Cheng Hao … Lin Xi!
"I didn't expect you to actually cultivate the divine eye. This is my misjudgment!"
After her identity was exposed, Lin Xi did not have the slightest bit of embarrassment. Only her tone was a little regretful and a little disappointed.
"For the sake of my divine physique's origin, you really put in a lot of effort. Pretending to be a little girl for a month, it must have been very difficult, right?" Cheng Hao ridiculed.
"It wasn't difficult at all!" Lin Xi shook her head. Her voice was as dull as ever, "That was originally me, how could it be said that I was acting?"
"This time, I didn't come for your divine physique's origin … Can you let me take another look at that four-colored flower of yours?"
At this moment, Cheng Hao had more or less guessed that this somewhat neurotic Lin Xi was the little sister in the memory of the young man inside the Red Spider Lily. However, after experiencing the previous incident, Cheng Hao already didn't have any favorable impression of her. He didn't have the slightest intention to release the Red Spider Lily.
"Sigh!"
Just when the two of them were in a deadlock and neither of them was willing to back down, a light sigh suddenly resounded in the void. At the center of Cheng Hao's right hand, the Red Spider Lily imprint suddenly emitted a bright light. Within the light, the figure of a white-clothed man condensed and took shape. He stood upright in midair and looked at Cheng Hao and Lin Xi somewhat helplessly.
