"Huh?" Shen Ying was confused. Only then did she realize that she was not lying where she slept last night. She blinked blankly. Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to think about it. It's not important!
Lonemoon was about to scold her when Fatty flew back hurriedly. "Master, the people in the city …" He had just landed when he felt the array formation on the ground. He heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Master discovered it first.
"What happened?" Lonemoon glanced at him. "Didn't you go to catch the evil ghost? Why can't the people in the city return their souls instead? "
"That evil ghost must have sensed danger, so it summoned the ghost fog and sucked them into the dream realm." Fatty said awkwardly. "They accidentally broke the dream realm in advance. Those people's bodies did not return in time, so …"
Lonemoon's expression darkened. What was this? They were in cahoots with that evil ghost, weren't they?
"Master, time is pressing. I've already asked them to guard those people's bodies outside the city. Let these people's souls return first!"
"Mm." Lonemoon nodded.
Fatty then took out a gourd dharma artifact and opened it. He conjured a seal while chanting. In a short while, living souls turned into streams of light and entered the gourd. It took him half an hour to collect the last bit of living souls and seal the mouth of the gourd.
"Let's go!" Lonemoon flew up on his sword. "You go too!" He brought Shen Ying with him.
Shen Ying: "…" Where's breakfast?
The bodies of the people in the city were not far from the city. From afar, they could see the ground full of people lying on the ground. Three disciples were guarding them. Seeing the three of them coming over, they immediately welcomed them with joy. "Exalted Master, you're back."
Fatty glanced at the three of them. "Where are the others? Why are there only the three of you? "Jian Xing, Mushroom and Zhi Lin were all gone.
The trio's expressions changed. They exchanged a look before replying, "Exalted Master, after you left, a malevolent ghost suddenly appeared. Master … Miss Zhi Lin was caught by it. Uncle-Master Jianxing and Mushroom both chased after her."
Fatty's expression darkened. He turned to look at Lonemoon. "Master …"
"You stay here and help the people in the city return their souls. I'll go take a look with Shen Ying." Lonemoon instructed. He pulled Shen Ying and followed Jian Xing's aura.
The two of them did not fly for long before they suddenly felt their surroundings become unusually cold. In the mountain forest in front of them, a large amount of Ghost Qi had gathered. It occupied the entire mountaintop, and even sunlight could not penetrate it.
Lonemoon frowned. Was it … about to become a Ghost King?
He directly flew down and followed the weak auras of a few people to the entrance of a cave. Half of the cave entrance had collapsed, as if someone had fought here. Looking at the remnant Sword Qi in the surroundings, it should be Jian Xing.
He summoned a sliver of Immortal Qi to cover his entire body, forcing the Ghost Qi to retreat. Subconsciously, he turned around and said, "Shen Ying, the Ghost Qi here is too thick, you …" Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and found that the Ghost Qi around them had already distanced itself from her. It was at least two to three meters away, even further than the Ghost Qi he had dispersed with his Immortal Qi.
"What?" Shen Ying tilted her head.
"… I'm fine. I'm going in!"
Motherf * cker! She clearly had a dispelling BUFF. How did she get controlled by the Ghost Qi last night!
They walked directly into the cave filled with Ghost Qi. The Ghost Qi inside was even thicker, but with every step Lonemoon took, the surrounding Ghost Qi was dispersed by the Immortal Qi. Although he could completely disperse all the Ghost Qi in this cave, thinking of the people inside, he did not do so.
The cave was very big, and there were forks everywhere. It was like a natural maze. But this was not a difficult thing for Lonemoon. With a sweep of his Divine Perception, the situation of the entire cave was clear. He walked directly in the direction of the three people. The only thing he had to worry about was a certain person who had no sense of direction.
"This way!"
"Oh."
Lonemoon pulled back a certain person who had taken a wrong turn for the umpteenth time. They finally walked to the innermost part of the cave. The surrounding Ghost Qi was even thicker, mixed with the smell of blood. There were also faint sounds of fighting and waves of shrill ghost cries in front of them.
"It's right in front!"
Lonemoon quickened his pace and walked over. After a big turn, a blood pool appeared in front of him. There were a few corpses floating in it. Above the blood pool, a female ghost with a horrifying appearance and a face full of rotten flesh was fighting with Jian Xing.
That evil ghost was already a half-step Ghost King. It was not weaker than a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the Ghost Qi on its body was a little weak. It seemed to be heavily injured. Obviously, it was interrupted at the critical moment of advancement and suffered a backlash. Jian Xing was also injured quite a bit. His body was full of bloodstains, and the wounds were still carrying Ghost Qi.
Seeming to notice a stronger aura coming in, that evil ghost panicked and could not care much anymore. Instantly, it released all the Ghost Qi in its body and blocked Jian Xing's attack. Its claws reached down and directly sucked up the blood in the blood pool. The original horrifying appearance began to recover. In a moment, it turned into a beautiful woman. The Ghost Qi on its body was instantly tens of times thicker.
It was trying to forcefully advance! Jian Xing's hand paused. He was shocked by the sudden increase in the opponent's suppression. Just as he was about to counterattack, that Ghost King directly abandoned him and rushed towards Lonemoon and Shen Ying's direction.
"Master!" Jian Xing's expression changed. He directly mobilized all the Spirit Qi in his body and slashed with all his strength. In the next moment, that Ghost King let out a sharp and piercing scream. It was hit directly. The Ghost Qi around it dissipated instantly. The body that had just gathered seemed to have broken and dissipated. But suddenly, a red light shot out from the center, rushing towards Shen Ying's direction.
"Be careful!" Lonemoon subconsciously reminded. He was about to make a move.
But he saw that the red light stopped. Shen Ying was holding it tightly with one hand. That red light struggled desperately in her hand like a loach. But no matter how hard it tried, it could not escape. It could only let out a series of sharp and piercing sounds.
Alright, he would be retarded to worry about a cheat.
"Eh?" Shen Ying grabbed that red light and looked at it curiously. She even flipped it left and right. That sharp sound became louder, as if it was screaming.
"Exalted Master …" The exhausted Jian Xing also walked over. His face was pale. He must have gone through a tough battle. He looked down at the red light in Shen Ying's hand. "This is the remnant soul of that evil ghost just now?"
"It should be." Lonemoon nodded.
Jian Xing's eyes darkened. He said directly, "This evil ghost has done many evil things. In order to prevent it from recovering, even if it is a remnant soul, we should destroy it as soon as possible."
Lonemoon frowned and looked up at him. "It is already a remnant soul. It can't recover anymore. If we continue to attack, it will only be destroyed."
"But …" Jian Xing was stunned. His face was full of confusion, as if he didn't know how to handle it.
