Majestic Fox Mountain, cold stone chamber.
Ghost Li silently looked at BiYao who was peacefully lying on the cold stone platform, the girl sleeping in the white light smoke, her lips seemed to always carry that trace of smile. Did she still feel it, still know that there was someone beside her protecting her?
Or could it be, in her heart, she had never regretted before, therefore she could sleep so peacefully?
To these, Ghost Li had asked himself numerous times, the answer he never knew, also did not dare to think, just that each time he thought, he seemed to suffer more torment. But his own body was getting worse, although because he had practised the three volumes of Tian Shu true ways, these days he had gradually understood Buddhist, Taoist, Evil three families true ways, among them there seemed to be a place where they merged into one, his skills improved by the day but the Sinister Orb evil power seemed to be roaming around his body everyday, like a lingering spirit, waiting for the last chance to perish together with him.
That ice-cold feeling, Ghost Li could not be more familiar with it. Ever since he was young, it had always been with him, this feeling! Even if he died, because he would also die feeling cold like this!
He laughed bitterly in his heart, glanced at BiYao for the last time, this was the third day he had been guarding BiYao alone.
"Have a good rest, I will come back to see you soon." Ghost Li softly said, "Don't be afraid, your father and I are only leaving temporarily. Even if I die, I will come back to see you again before I die. "
He looked at BiYao, gently smiled and then turned and walked out of this cold stone chamber. The light smoke drifted, like a veil behind him.
[Rumble!]
The heavy stone door slowly closed behind him, Xiao Hui who had been waiting beside, with a sound leapt onto his shoulder. Ghost Li stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xiao Hui's head, nodded and walked out. Along the way, he either stretched his hand to the walls or made many detours to fiddle with the mechanisms, along the way, layers of mechanisms in Majestic Fox Mountain Ghost King Sect headquarters were all activated, just the heavy stone doors alone were more than ten.
In the belly of Majestic Fox Mountain, right now there were sounds of mechanisms but only Ghost Li was there, the others had already followed Ghost King to Savage Temple three days ago. Right now Majestic Fox Mountain, desolate and desolate, Ghost Li walked out of the mountain, when the sunlight shone on his body bringing traces of warmth, he couldn't help but shiver.
[Rumble rumble rumble …] the last stone door slowly closed, covering this huge mountainside, an indistinct "pa da" sound was heard, Ghost Li knew that was the sound of the mechanism being reversed, in the future if someone did not know how to activate the mechanism and wanted to force their way in from the outside, facing this ten thousand catties huge rock, they would need to be like a celestial being.
The warm sunlight shone on their bodies, Xiao Hui who was lying on Ghost Li's shoulder stretched out its arms, stretched its back and even yawned. Ghost Li turned his head to look at it, smiled and said, "What's wrong, why do you look so bored and sleepy?"
Xiao Hui called out twice, the whites of its eyes on its monkey face and then its limbs danced, pointing towards the outside of the mountain. Ghost Li smiled and said, "You are bored, oh, speaking of which this place is desolate, there are not even a few trees, no wonder you feel uncomfortable."
Xiao Hui immediately nodded with all its might, jumped down from Ghost Li's shoulder, called out and danced with joy. Ghost Li breathed deeply, turned back to look at the entrance of the cave which had already merged with the mountain, no traces could be seen at all, nodded and said, "Alright, anyway we have to wait for a month before going in to visit BiYao, using this period of time, we will take a stroll around and relax."
Xiao Hui was overjoyed, bounced up and down on the ground, grinned and laughed. Ghost Li was influenced by it, his mood improved a lot, scolded laughingly, "Alright, still not coming up, if not you can just stay here by yourself."
Xiao Hui shrunk its head, with a sound scurried back, climbed up Ghost Li's shoulder in a few moves, laughed. Ghost Li shook his head, a slight smile on his lips, his hands moved, the familiar cold feeling again surfaced, Ghost Li seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment. Xiao Hui was puzzled why Ghost Li did not fly away, called out twice, Ghost Li turned back and glanced at it and then smiled faintly, softly said, "Life is lonely, why bother to think so much?"
Xiao Hui blinked twice, clearly did not understand Ghost Li's sudden words, Ghost Li did not say anything more, with a flip of his hand, green light floated, the Soul-Absorbing stick was released, carrying one man and one monkey, straight up to the sky, leaving Majestic Fox Mountain.
The nearest inhabited place to Majestic Fox Mountain, was a small town two hundred miles to the northeast, called 'SanFu Town'. SanFu Town did not have a lot of population but there were a few villages around, it could be considered as bustling. In the past, in order to keep it a secret, when Ghost King Sect purchased daily necessities, they did not go to SanFu Town but went to further cities to purchase, to prevent Good Faction or Evil Sect other sects from discovering the location of their headquarters. But before the Ghost King Sect disciples returned, many of them would go to SanFu Town to rest.
In the past, Ghost Li would bring Xiao Hui and pass by SanFu Town, although it was not many times but Xiao Hui was extremely intelligent and actually remembered it well, right now they had just left Majestic Fox Mountain, Xiao Hui on Ghost Li's shoulder waved its arms with all its might, kept pointing to SanFu Town, evidently it wanted to go there to drink and eat. Ghost Li shook his head but did not say anything, changed direction and flew towards SanFu Town.
Two hundred miles distance, to cultivators flying in the air, was not too far. Between the white clouds in the blue sky, a faint green light with some black energy flashed and flew, streaking across the sky.
Xiao Hui perched on his shoulder restlessly, at times it would tilt its head, its long monkey tail also swayed here and there, not knowing if it was thinking about the delicious food it was going to enjoy later. Ghost Li, while controlling the Soul-Absorbing stick, looked down below, needless to say, the area around Majestic Fox Mountain was a stretch of desolate barren hills, after leaving the mountains, the terrain was rather flat but the wilderness was quiet, similarly there was no sign of human habitation, looking down from above, there was only a desolate ancient path extending alone in the wilderness, not knowing where it led to?
Ghost Li suddenly sighed but did not say anything, just that Xiao Hui felt puzzled and glanced at its master a few more times.
Heading towards the north-east direction for less than an hour, they had already flown to the top of Three Blessings Town, from afar they could see a continuous stretch of houses below, one after another, Xiao Hui was already excited, it called out and pointed downwards. Ghost Li smiled and said, "Alright, let's go down now."
Green light flashed, making sharp sounds in the air, descended from the sky and landed on the streets of SanFu Town. But once they landed, Ghost Li's brows were already frowning. Xiao Hui jumped down from his shoulder, scratched its head and looked around, clearly also puzzled. The next moment, it seemed to have sensed something, its three eyes lit up at the same time, it called out, its face looked nervous.
The Three Blessings Town in front of him seemed to have become an empty town. Most of the houses in the surroundings were still intact, and only a few places that were damaged could be seen. However, the people in the town had completely disappeared. A deathly silence, shrouded over this small town.
Ghost Li snorted, more or less understood, needless to say, this place had become like this, most likely it was because of the demon beasts catastrophe. The people in the town had either escaped to the north a step earlier, if they were slower, most likely they too would not be able to avoid the fate of becoming the demon beasts' food. A perfectly good small town, turned into such a state. And thinking about the past, in the vast Divine Land, how many other towns were like this?
A wind blew over from afar, blowing up some sand on the streets, in such a warm day, the wind blowing on this small town seemed to be cold. Xiao Hui still seemed a little uneasy, moved closer to Ghost Li and at the same time looked around. Ghost Li bent down, carried Xiao Hui up, quietly said, "It's alright."
Xiao Hui's eyes blinked, seemed to be with Ghost Li and also quietened down. Ghost Li breathed deeply, lifted his feet and unhurriedly walked forward, Xiao Hui climbed onto his shoulder, no longer making any noise, quietly looked around.
Other than the sound of the wind, there was no sound at all, Ghost Li strolled along, halfway through the streets, the houses all had their doors and windows tightly shut, some had their doors wide open, not knowing if the demon beasts had barged in. Just that along the way, he did not see any human corpses, seemed like the commoners had received the news beforehand and most of them had escaped to the north.
