The next mont, the thin black mist surged, and Lou Huai's body vanished into the mist, leaving only Yu Ziqing, still snoring soundly in bed.
"Brother, brother, wake up."
Yu Ziqing slowly opened his eyes to see Lou Huai holding his arm, calling softly.
And everything around him was just as it was before, with no difference.
"What is this?"
"Brother, I know what it is now. It's a Yin Devil. No wonder even during the day I couldn't sense any trace of the Devil. Yin Devils never co out during the dayti."
"A Yin Devil? Are there so many classifications for Devils?"
Yu Ziqing only knew that within the Devils, there was a Heavenly Demon and other Devils, or they were those Evil Devils, the subordinates of Devils.
"I am a Human Devil, also called a Heart Demon, which is the most common among cultivators. Those Devil Thoughts, after being nurtured and growing strong, if one day they turn into a Heart Demon, they are essentially Human Devils.
Now this is a Yin Devil. These guys rarely harm people directly.
They only sow chaos in dreams, plant hidden dangers, and then leave it be.
These hidden dangers might turn into Devil Thoughts in the future.
Now we are not actually in the city anymore; we are in a domain ford by the Yin Devil.
Of course, I ca in directly, while your real body is still sleeping.
But don't worry, since you woke up here, it can't plant the seed."
Yu Ziqing got off the bed and looked out the window. The whole city had no sound, not even the chirping of insects. The only sounds were snores and indistinct dream mumbles.
Yu Ziqing followed Lou Huai out the door to check on the other people in the inn.
Cece was not there. In so rooms lay sleeping people, but others were empty.
Anyone sleeping at this ti would appear here.
And in this domain with a very slight threat, not even the person's real body could be pulled in, only a projection of the consciousness or rely a dream projection.
Lower-level Refining God cultivators might not even notice it.
Like Yu Ziqing, who hadn't noticed it before.
It was only after waking up here that he sensed a Devil roaming within the city.
They reached the top of the inn, gazing into the distance. They saw a tall and thin giant, over a dozen zhang in height, roaming the city streets.
Its body was emaciated, and on its neck was an old, withered man's head. From its torso, dozens of thin, long arms grew, and its lower half was connected to a large cart filled with gray seeds.
Its dozens of hands continuously took seeds from the cart, reaching toward the residences by the roadside.
As its hands seed to pass through the houses invisibly, the seeds broke shell and transford into various forms, thrown into the bodies of those sleeping.
Yu Ziqing watched from afar, seeing one hand stretch into a second-floor window of a residence, where the seed turned into a green snake.
Another hand's seed turned into a lascivious, ugly face.
So seeds beca empty money pouches with holes.
These seeds transford based on each individual.
From children to the elderly, none were exceptions.
For so, it might rely be the embodint of childhood fears, holding no influence when grown up.
But for others, it might shadow their life, chilling their spine even when seen again as an adult.
For a cultivator, such seeds could potentially take root and grow into Devil Thoughts, eventually turning into Heart Demons.
"Were you Human Devils all sown by this guy?"
"Not necessarily, so Heart Demons' initial seeds were indeed planted by Yin Devils, but many others had nothing to do with these seeds." Lou Huai spoke truthfully, not believing that a Human Devil ranked lower than a Yin Devil because of this.
"So, it's possible those rumors weren't spread by the Yin Devil deliberately? They could be seeds germinating and turning into rumors?"
Yu Ziqing observed the Yin Devil dragging its seed-laden cart, its many slender arms ceaselessly busy, seeming not to deliberately spread rumors.
"Brother, it surely did sothing bad. I understand Devils, and it must have learned of the hungry ghost's existence from others. It must dislike it and is harming it with ease. Even if it didn't do it deliberately, if you kill it, it won't be wronged.
While I traveled here, I noticed that this area had the most people with Devil Thoughts in their hearts. From when I left Lin Fu, I hadn't encountered a single cultivator with Devil Thoughts for two days."
"Let's see how we can kill it."
As they spoke, several arms of the Yin Devil silently extended along the wall corners toward them.
Suddenly, behind them, several arms stretched out two to three hundred zhang long, lunging at the two of them.
The palms fell with ghostly images, accompanied by loud bangs, as the inn beneath them collapsed with a crash.
The Yin Devil, which had been busy sowing seeds, slowly turned its head, gazing at the two who had leapt up, grinning at them.
