Upon hearing this, everyone showed a grave expression.
This transformation has been too fast.
At this pace, isn’t it now already at the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul?
"But why are there still so many evil spirits around? As far as I know, these things are excellent supplents for the Blood Tai Sui!" Yan Xiaohu continued questioning.
The woman replied, "That’s because, during that period, a group of powerful evil spirits arrived. No, to be precise, it was a Yin Spirit that had developed self-awareness. It not only had a vast aura but could also control other evil spirits to fight. I estimate that even if it wasn’t of the Nascent Soul Realm, it was very close to it."
"They engaged in a fierce battle, and afterward, the Blood Tai Sui disappeared, likely to secretly accumulate strength, while that Yin Spirit retreated to that abandoned city to recuperate. These evil spirits around are its eyes, responsible for finding the Blood Tai Sui."
"That’s all the information I know, I really don’t know where the Blood Tai Sui is!" the woman said urgently.
Everyone was surprised. Besides the Blood Tai Sui, there was also a self-aware Yin Spirit, which now provided them with the critical information to break the deadlock.
Such a good Yin Spirit, the Blood Tai Sui definitely wouldn’t miss the chance to devour and refine it. But at the sa ti, the Yin Spirit likely has the sa thought.
So, this ti they have a complete chance to be the fisherman who benefits.
"Are you sure?" Yan Xiaohu brought the rune closer, his face full of sinister intent.
The woman scread, eyes full of fear, "Really, really, I swear!"
"Look at how scared you are. I, Yan Xiaohu, always keep my word. You can go now. Don’t cause trouble for ordinary people anymore!"
In the next mont, Yan Xiaohu stood up and put away the charm.
Li Shitao breathed a sigh of relief and thanked repeatedly. Then, a puff of black air erged from the woman’s forehead and quickly fled into the night and disappeared.
Yan Xiaohu turned around and clapped his hands: "Didn’t expect to have such unexpected gains, well, now things are clear..."
"Yan, over there—"
Before Yan Xiaohu could finish, Zhou Qing suddenly pointed to the space behind him.
Yan Xiaohu turned around skeptically and saw a string of black air twisting above the woman’s head, forming a line of small words.
[Yan Xiaohu, you damn rat, wait for , this isn’t over!]
"Damn it!"
Yan Xiaohu cursed loudly and imdiately chased after.
Everyone looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to let it out.
Mo Xingjian covered his face speechlessly.
"Let’s go see that ghost city!" Mo Xingjian suddenly transmitted to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly, then curiously asked, "Master, what about Yan...?"
Mo Xingjian hesitated for a mont and said, "Before I encountered him, he was engaged in so dubious activities, pretending to be mystical and fooling ordinary people. I happened upon him with a low-level cultivation thod he had sohow acquired, and he had learned it quite decently, at least enough to deceive those ordinary folks. Seeing that he had so talent and a quick mind, I took him in as the third disciple."
Zhou Qing suddenly understood. No wonder.
Soon after, Yan Xiaohu returned, cursing and swearing.
Obviously, he hadn’t caught up.
Everyone wisely refrained from asking more questions, while Lu Yaoyao quietly stuck out her tongue at Zhou Qing.
Shi Chuan’s wife also weakly woke up at this ti, making him joyfully kiss and weep.
Everyone then left to the accommodation arranged by the City Lord for rest.
The next day, Zhou Qing suggested Yan Xiaohu go check out the ghost city.
Yan Xiaohu pondered briefly and agreed, since they couldn’t find the Blood Tai Sui for the anti.
They might as well visit its birthplace and see if there were any clues.
So, they all left, with Yan Xiaohu reminding, "Everyone be careful. That Yin Spirit is lurking there. But generally, it should have enough intelligence not to provoke us."
Everyone understood.
About two hours later, a city long abandoned to ti appeared before them.
A sense of decay and sinister atmosphere struck them, causing their breaths to stall.
Looking down from the sky, the city’s roads were covered in overgrown weeds, hiding the collapsed houses, leaving only isolated ruins.
The shops lining the streets had lost their signage, the words blurred, only hinting at past prosperity.
Inside the stores, goods were scattered, so gnawed away by rats, others covered in dust and cobwebs.
As they ventured deeper, bushes began to appear, with twisted branches intertwining with the surrounding trees, forming an eerie forest.
Occasionally, a gust of wind would bring a biting chill, making them shiver.
Lu Yaoyao covered her mouth and nose lightly, nervously glancing around.
Because in the houses, and even the dense forest, there were weathered human bones everywhere, with occasional black shadows flashing by.
These were the lurking evil spirits, or the eyes left by the evolved Yin Spirit.
[Ignore Points 1]
As Zhou Qing walked cautiously, his mind suddenly received a familiar prompt, bringing him unexpected joy.
Instinctively, he looked towards the group ahead.
Indeed, they were Golden Core Realm cultivators, amidst an intense and thrilling group setting, perfectly fitting the criteria.
Especially his master, who seed fully engrossed in observing their surroundings.
Good, very good!
Zhou Qing started to deliberately move towards a corner, trying to avoid attention.
