Five minutes later …
"Am … Am I dead?" The ghost finally stopped screaming. He lay on the ground with a defeated look, accepting the fact that he was a ghost.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?" Lonemoon stepped forward and scanned him from head to toe. "Why did you come to the immortal realm, and where did Little Black and Yu Hong go?"
"What?" The man's eyes widened. He was even more shocked than Lonemoon. "This … This is the immortal realm! You're immortals?! " He quickly looked around, as if only just realizing the immortal Qi around him. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Could it be that I … I ascended to heaven after I died?"
His eyes lit up, full of excitement and agitation. He did not look fake at all.
Lonemoon frowned even deeper. He exchanged a look with Yi Qing. What was going on? This situation was not right!
"You don't know how you came to the immortal realm?"
The male ghost was stunned. He looked at them, no longer terrified. Instead, there was some respect in his eyes. "Didn't immortals bring me up? Am … am I going to become an immortal in the future? "
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He had a lot to think about.
"Then why do you have so much resentment in your body?"
"Resentment?" He looked confused, as if he did not know what Lonemoon was talking about. After a while, he cupped his fists and said, "This Exalted Immortal … I really do not know what you're talking about. What … what happened to me? "
Amnesia? It couldn't be!
Lonemoon's expression darkened. Yi Qing stepped forward and asked, "Do you remember how you died?"
He stared blankly for a moment, then his expression turned ugly. He seemed to be desperately trying to remember something. Even the resentment in his body seemed to be coming back. After a while, he murmured, "I … I don't know. Am I really dead?"
What was going on? Was he really a ghost with amnesia? But where did the resentment come from?
"What else do you remember?"
The man scratched his head. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I only remember … my name is Song Ren. I'm from Qing He Province. I've been studying hard for ten years. I'm preparing to enter the capital next year to take the exam. "
"You're not a cultivator!"
"What's a cultivator?" He looked confused.
"…" He really was a scholar.
Well, looks like I won't be able to get anything out of him. However, he was just a mortal who had never cultivated before. How could he have such overwhelming resentment? He even crossed the Realm Gate directly to the Immortal World.
Most importantly, this ghost didn't even know how he died. How were they supposed to find out where Yu Hong and the others were?
"Sect Master, Elders …" Just as they were thinking about this, Si Yu suddenly rushed in, looking anxious.
"What's wrong?" asked Lonemoon.
"Yesterday, Elder, you asked me to guard the Deed-Signing Platform. Today, there really was an accident." She frowned, as if she didn't know how to explain. "There … Elder, you'll know once you follow me there."
Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a look. Pointing at the male ghost, he said, "Shortie, look after this ghost. We'll be back soon." With that said, he turned and was about to leave when he paused and added, "And look after Shen Ying!" He had already lost two ghosts. He did not want to add another three.
"…"
"Yes, Elder!" Shortie's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously as if he had just won a prize.
Lonemoon then walked out with Yi Qing.
Meng Po immediately moved in front of Shen Ying, her eyes shining. She looked like she was presenting a treasure to Shen Ying. "Sect Master, I've grown something especially delicious these few days. Since Elder Chef is not around, would you like to try it?" As she spoke, she turned and took out a watermelon-sized sweet potato from her storage bag.
Shen Ying: "…"
Could he fire her again?

The Deed-Signing Platform was not far from the rear hall. Lonemoon and Yi Qing arrived in no time. The grievous Qi that filled the sky earlier had now completely dissipated. All that was left in the air was a messy platform.
But now, there was another accident. Where the Deed-Signing Platform used to be, immortal Qi was surging. Large amounts of immortal Qi were gathering there, spiraling towards the center. It looked like it was about to solidify.
"Immortal Ascension Platform?" Lonemoon paused, then immediately denied his own guess. "No, that's not right!" The Immortal Ascension Platform only appeared when cultivators from the lower realm ascended to the upper realm. And its location was random. It could appear anywhere in the ten continents, but it would never appear in the Heavenly Palace. The immortal Qi here was too thick. It would affect the formation of the Immortal Ascension Platform.
He took a closer look, then turned to Yi Qing and said, "Chef, don't you think that the direction in which the immortal Qi is moving …"
"It's the complete opposite of the Immortal Ascension Platform," Yi Qing said.
The two of them were shocked. Lonemoon immediately turned to the person behind him and said, "Si Yu, inform the disciples in the sect not to let anyone near here." Then, he turned to Yi Qing and said, "Seal off this area. I'll go to the right!"
Yi Qing nodded and flew to the other side.
The two of them conjured a seal and set up an array. Instantly, a wall of light lit up in both directions, forming a translucent circle. It directly surrounded the area where the immortal Qi was gathering.
After a while, the crazy gathering of immortal Qi began to slow down.
Lonemoon frowned. Indeed that was the case.
The Immortal Ascension Platform was formed by the gathering of immortal Qi. But most of the immortal Qi came from the Tribulation Lightning of the cultivators from the lower realm. So it was actually the immortal Qi of the lower realm that broke through the realm gate. But the immortal Qi here was the complete opposite. Instead, it was the immortal Qi of the Heavenly Palace that was surging towards the center.
He and Yi Qing sealed off this area completely. Only then did the immortal Qi stop. The two of them exchanged a look and flew in. The strange thing was that the immortal Qi inside was exceptionally thin. Moreover, it seemed to be decreasing.
The two of them followed the direction in which the immortal Qi was flowing. Only then did they realize that in the center, there was a crack the width of a finger. The crack was not big. If one did not look closely, they would not have noticed it. But the immortal Qi in the surroundings was surging towards it.
"The realm gate!" Lonemoon was shocked. This crack was obviously connected to the lower realm. That coward broke through the realm gate using grievous Qi. But the realm gate should have closed immediately after he came up. Why was this one still here? It seemed like the immortal Qi was gathering here. It probably flowed into the lower realm.
He used his divine perception to scan the area. Indeed, there was a trace of burning grievous Qi in the crack. No wonder the realm gate had not closed. Luckily, he and Chef had sealed it. Otherwise, all the immortal Qi in the Heavenly Palace would have been sucked in.
It seemed like Little Black and Yu Hong had fallen into the lower realm!
"Chef, can you sense which small world this crack leads to?"
Yi Qing sensed it and shook his head. "No. Too much immortal Qi went in just now. This realm gate is already unstable. I can't be sure at all."
Lonemoon's expression darkened. He waved his hand and conjured a seal, dispersing the grievous Qi in the crack. Indeed, in the next moment, the small realm gate closed automatically.
"Let's go. Let's go back and find Shen Ying!" They could not tell, but how could they not find out about the cheat?
