"Then rest first, wait till midnight." Lonemoon announced the end of the meeting. The four of them got up and left one after another, returning to their own rooms.
Seeing them go far, Fatty turned back and said, "Master, although there is no demonic Qi in this city, there is ghost Qi, I'm afraid …"
"I know." Lonemoon nodded, he could naturally see that the one in this city was not a demon, but an evil ghost. "Just keep an eye on them and nothing will happen, it's good to gain experience!"
Fatty nodded, then got up and was about to leave with Mushroom. Lonemoon turned around, only to see Shen Ying sitting still, looking straight at him.
"What?"
"Supper!"
"Not today, let's go!"
"…" Sigh, he missed Chef every day!
Shen Ying had to take out the pastries in the bag, eating as she went out.
"Oh, right." Lonemoon suddenly thought of something and added, "Shen Ying, at night you better not …"
Before he finished, he saw that she had gone far away. He could only take back his words, forget it, it was just an evil ghost.
The one in this city was not a demon. From the moment they entered the city, he could see it. That was an evil ghost that fed on human vitality, and it was very likely to be promoted to a Ghost King soon. The reason why the people in this city were unconscious was because part of their vitality was sucked away.
Ghosts were actually easier to deal with than demon spirit beasts, of course, if they could be found first. These disciples had never come into contact with ghosts and spirits, it was normal that they could not figure out what it was. As long as they kept calm, they would not be controlled by the evil ghost.
With Shen Ying's ability, even the most powerful evil ghost would not be able to capture her, after all, she was the person who had beaten the Ghost King to tears.
So if anything happened to anyone, she would definitely not … Trouble my ass!

"Where is she?!" Lonemoon looked at the empty room, ten thousand horses galloping in his heart!
Fatty was also confused. "I didn't see Miss Shen come out?"
"Find her! Quickly! "He should not have let down his guard on that person with no sense of direction!
"Yes!" Fatty was about to go out when he suddenly heard the sound of a bell ringing in his ear. The sound was simple and distant, instantly spreading throughout the entire Quhang City, drilling straight into everyone's ears. For a moment, they only felt that their divine sense was shaken, as if something was about to leave their bodies.
The four disciples hurriedly circulated their spiritual qi to protect their heart meridians before they could suppress that feeling.
Suddenly, there was a clang at the door. Zhi Lin, who had followed them all the way here, had fallen at the entrance of the inn downstairs. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and there was a faint sign that her soul had left her body.
"Little Lin!" Jian Xing was shocked and directly jumped down from the building. He helped the person on the ground up and separated a bit of spirit qi to protect her heart meridian. Only then did Zhi Lin's expression look a little better.
"Brother …" Zhi Lin looked at the person in front of her with lingering fear. Suddenly, as if recalling something, she looked up at the people upstairs and said, "That's right, Exalted Master, I saw Sister Shen on the street just now. I called out to her but she did not respond. It's like … like she's being controlled by something."
Lonemoon was shocked. In a flash, he appeared beside her. "Where did you see her?"
"On the main street in front!" She pointed outside.
Lonemoon turned and rushed out, searching in the direction she pointed. The others hurriedly followed.
Only when they came out did they realize that although it was pitch-black midnight, the streets outside were filled with people. Upon closer inspection, they realized that they were all residents of the city during the day. Without exception, all of them had their eyes closed, their faces numb. Like wandering souls, they walked in the same direction, as if they were being controlled by something. There was no sound at all.
A disciple mobilized his spirit qi to check their souls, but his face turned pale. "Their … their souls are not in their bodies!"
The others were stunned. One by one, they pushed open the doors of the houses on the street and walked into the rooms, only to find that there were shadows lying on the beds. They were the souls of those people on the street, but their faces were in pain, as if they were experiencing some terrifying dream.
"It's that bell just now!" Jian Xing said in a low voice, "Their souls were shaken out by the bell. Something is controlling their bodies."
"Let's find Shen Ying first!" Lonemoon said in a low voice and flew up directly. He released his divine perception and scanned the dense crowd on the street. Only then did he realize that the familiar figure on the street was walking step by step with the crowd toward the city entrance. Upon closer inspection, there was a faint trace of ghost Qi wrapped around her leg.
"There!" Lonemoon flew down directly. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the ghost Qi on Shen Ying's leg. He stopped instantly.
The others also chased over. Fatty subconsciously said, "Strange, why would Miss Shen be affected by mere ghost Qi …"
"Shh …" Before he could finish, Lonemoon suddenly turned back with a nervous expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't speak!"
"Huh?!" Everyone was stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
Did they think that something big had happened to Shen Ying? Upon closer inspection, they realized that she was the same as the other unconscious bodies. Her eyes were also tightly shut, her face expressionless. Only … there was a faint sound of snoring.
Fatty: "…"
Jian Xing: "…"
Everyone: "…"
Was she sleeping? Her soul did not leave her body at all. She was purely asleep!
Before they could react, Lonemoon's serious voice transmission sounded in their ears. It was as if he was facing a formidable enemy. "Go, quickly, move the blankets and pillows in her room over. Don't make any sound, if … you don't want to die! "
The disciples were dumbfounded, but they still obediently went back to move the blankets and pillows.
"Quick, bring them over to me. Be careful!" Lonemoon took the blankets from their hands and took a deep breath. Then, he carefully walked forward and carefully wrapped it around Shen Ying. Then, very carefully, he carried her and gently placed her on the blankets that were laid on the ground.
Every move was like a slow-motion replay. He even held his breath the whole time, for fear of making the slightest sound.
Only when he put her back in the blankets did he let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Thank goodness, thank goodness! She didn't wake up! Father was scared to death.
Onlookers: "…"
"Master." Jian Xing looked at the figures that had already walked out of the city. He could not help but send a voice transmission. "The people in this city …"
Lonemoon turned back to look at them. Then, he nodded and said, "Go! If you encounter anything, try to stay far away. I'll stay here and watch Shen Ying. Fatty, look after them. "
"Yes, Master." Fatty nodded and glanced at the four disciples. Then, together with Mushroom, they flew away with the crowd that was leaving the city.
Zhi Lin turned back to look at Lonemoon. Something flashed across her eyes. Then, she hurriedly rode on her sword and followed.
The few of them chased all the way out of the city. Outside the city, the sky was filled with white fog. The fog was so thick that they could only see about one foot around them. The few of them had no choice but to fly down to avoid being separated by the fog.
