Laura replied, "If that's really the case, then it's very likely that there would be some clues left behind in this town, but not too many."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, and in the future, this town might really be abandoned by the Ghost Cultivators. I think that the Ghost Cultivators have already discovered that their people in the Tyrant's Blade School have been cleaned up. Adding on to the fact that we came here this time, they would understand that their people in the Tyrant's Blade School have been removed. Moreover, all of them have confessed, so they wouldn't use this place anymore."
Laura nodded and said, "Right, we can only hope that the Ghost Cultivators left behind some clues that haven't been cleaned up yet. This way, we'll be able to find some clues tomorrow."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the dark town outside and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's have a good rest today and restore our spirits." Everyone complied and immediately went to rest.
Zhao Hai was lying in his room with Julie lying next to him. The two were sleeping soundly when suddenly, Zhao Hai opened his eyes and sat up. At the same time, Julie also opened her eyes and sat up.
Julie looked at Zhao Hai, and Zhao Hai nodded. Then the two stood up from the bed and put on their clothes. They quickly went to the platform on top of the carriage and looked towards the town.
The town had undergone a huge change, the whole place looked like a ghost town. A black fog had appeared above the town, covering the whole place. Inside the town, there were gusts of cold wind. There wasn't even a single light, making the place look like a ghost town.
Although the town looked like a ghost town, there weren't any ghosts to be seen. However, the waves of Yin Qi made Zhao Hai very surprised.
Zhao Hai looked at the town's appearance and gently frowned. He didn't know what happened, but he was sure that something was going to happen here.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, revealing the moon. Then, a very mournful ghost cry was heard from the town. Then, a group of shadows appeared in the town. What made Zhao Hai feel strange was that this shadow wasn't wearing a warrior's clothing, but rather an ordinary farmer's clothing. It didn't look very tall, just like an ordinary farmer in a small town.
The shadow stood quietly in the town, then it looked towards the direction of the moon, standing there blankly. A snow-white moonlight shot towards it, and when the moonlight hit its body, it emitted a burst of silver light, then the moonlight disappeared.
Zhao Hai and Julie looked at the shadow and couldn't help but stare. They were sure that the shadow was a ghost, and it was currently absorbing the moonlight to cultivate.
Zhao Hai was almost certain that this ghost was a wild one, not a ghost raised by a human. This was because ghosts raised by humans would rarely be placed outside to absorb moonlight to cultivate. This was because not only was it slow, it was also too easy to be exposed. Therefore, Zhao Hai was sure that this ghost was a wild one.
How could there be a wild beast in the territory of a ghost cultivator? What's going on? Zhao Hai felt that his brain was somewhat useless.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Julie and said, "Julie, you stay here and wake everyone up. Tell them to be careful, I'll go to the town and take a look." Julie nodded, she didn't stop Zhao Hai. With Zhao Hai's strength, she believed that Zhao Hai would be fine.
Zhao Hai flew down from the carriage and headed towards the town. When he was outside the town, the ghost didn't react to Zhao Hai's arrival. It was as if Zhao Hai didn't exist. But when Zhao Hai entered the town, the ghost immediately noticed him and howled as it rushed towards him.
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, but then he discovered that the ghost didn't have any intention to hurt him. It just kept howling and screaming, as if it was trying to scare him.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he was stunned. He was already prepared for a big battle, but who knew that his opponent wouldn't give him such an opportunity.
The strength of this ghost wasn't weak. Zhao Hai looked at it and saw that the ghost's strength was almost equivalent to a Ghost General. If it was calculated according to the number of Cultivators, then it should be almost at the Transcending Realm. But why does it seem like it doesn't know how to attack?
Zhao Hai looked at the ghost that was still trying to scare him. He didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said, "Don't be so busy. I know that you can understand what I'm saying. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
When the ghost heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. He stared blankly at Zhao Hai. After a while, the ghost looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You're not afraid of me? Why? "
Zhao Hai looked at the ghost, then he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm a Cultivator. Do you think I'm afraid of ghosts?"
When the ghost heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he immediately knelt before Zhao Hai and said, "Sir Cultivator, this lowly one has seen Sir. This lowly one didn't mean to offend Sir, please forgive me."
When Zhao Hai saw the ghost's appearance, he couldn't help but stare. However, he still waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's fine. Get up. What's going on?"
After the Ghost got up, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, I really don't know what's going on. I didn't live in this place before, but one day, a group of Monster Beasts rushed in and killed everyone they saw. I remember that my parents were killed. At that time, a Monster Beast rushed towards me. After that, I don't know what happened. I don't know how long it took for me to wake up, but at that time, there was no one left in the town. I couldn't leave the town, so I could only live here. Later on, some people came to the town and when I went to greet them, they were all scared away."
Zhao Hai looked at the ghost's appearance, then he took a deep breath and said, "When did you discover that you've become a ghost? And when did you start cultivating?"
The ghost looked at Zhao Hai and shook his head, "Sir, I don't remember. I only know that when there's a moon, I feel very comfortable. As for cultivation, I don't know much about it."
Zhao Hai looked at the ghost and said, "Then where do you hide during the day?" Zhao Hai was very clear that ghosts were generally afraid of light. Therefore, this ghost would certainly hide during the day.
The ghost replied, "In the well of my house. There's a rock there. When I stay there, I feel very comfortable. Therefore, I hide in the well during the day."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Have there been any Cultivators before me?"
The ghost shook his head and said, "I don't remember. When I woke up, I didn't find any Cultivators coming to the town. Sir, you are the first one."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Take me to your house." The ghost didn't dare to be negligent. He nodded and led Zhao Hai into the town. Before long, they arrived at a courtyard in the town. This courtyard was on the outskirts of the town. It was one of the least valued courtyards.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Zhao felt that the yin qi in the courtyard was particularly heavy. Zhao looked at the well on the side of the courtyard, and saw that the yin qi was coming out of the well.
Zhao Hai went to the well and looked inside. He immediately felt that there was something wrong with the rock inside the well. Although the rock was mixed with the other rocks, Zhao Hai could feel a very strong Yin energy coming from it.
Zhao Hai waved his hand as the rock flew out of the well. The ghost nervously looked at Zhao Hai. He was afraid that Zhao Hai would take the rock away. Then he wouldn't even have a place to stay.
Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, you can go in now. I'll take you to a place where you can make friends. It's better than staying here alone."
When the ghost heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but hesitate. But because of his innate fear of Cultivators, he clenched his teeth and directly entered the stone. Zhao Hai turned his hand and threw the stone into the Space.
As soon as the stone entered the Space, a prompt was immediately heard, "Yin Spirit Stone detected. Analyzing its composition, it is a stone with a special attribute. Originally, it didn't have any attribute, but due to the influence of the environment, it gained an attribute. It can allow Yin Spirits to live inside and protect Yin Spirits. When cultivators wear it, it can increase their soul force. At the same time, if a cultivator is killed, their soul can escape into the Yin Spirit Stone and be preserved. The Space has created a Yin Spirit Stone mine, Host can inspect it."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think that it would be like this. He couldn't help but curiously go to the side of the well. He discovered that there was still Yin energy coming from the well, but it was very weak.
Zhao Hai immediately understood, no wonder there was a Yin Spirit Stone here. There was a small Yin Vein in the well, and the Yin Spirit Stone was affected by this Yin Vein. Because of this, it slowly turned into a Yin Spirit Stone.
Zhao Hai also didn't understand. Although this was a stronghold of the Ghost Cultivators, the Ghost Cultivators were very cunning. In the end, in order to ensure that the Ghost Cultivators who infiltrated the Tyrant's Blade School wouldn't be discovered, the Ghost Cultivators attracted demon beasts and killed the residents. The Ghost Cultivator just now was just an ordinary person. He was indeed killed, but his courtyard had a small Yin Vein that the Ghost Cultivators didn't pay attention to. Then this Yin Vein gave birth to a Yin Spirit Stone. After the Ghost Cultivator was killed, his soul ran into the Yin Spirit Stone. Because he wasn't a Cultivator, his soul was very weak. He stayed inside the Yin Spirit Stone for a long time before he was able to come out. By the time he came out, who knows how many years had already passed. The town was already abandoned, and nobody came here anymore. Therefore, the Ghost Cultivator only met some ordinary people who wanted to live here, but he scared them away.
Although no one could confirm whether Zhao Hai's words were correct or not, Zhao Hai believed that his guess was correct. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a coincidence.
However, this was also good. This meant that this Ghost wasn't left behind by a Ghost Cultivator. Zhao Hai felt relieved. Now, he just had to wait for tomorrow to carefully examine the town's situation.
