Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Haunted by Resentful Spirits

Luo Tian only knew the brief information he read about the Boundless Sect.

They were destroyed because they had offended a woman from a devil sect.

Their entire sect was massacred.

Moreover, the souls of those killed were stripped away. They could only remain in the barren mountains forever, never able to enter hell and the cycle of reincarnation. The means were extremely cruel.

On the other hand, this sorcerer was a bit too terrifying, where they could destroy an entire sect like this.

Luo Tian hid his shock as he felt an eerie feeling upon looking at the grandest building in the distance. It made him feel like they were very close to walking into hell. He then said, “Lin Dong, have everyone stationed here for now. No one is to go any further without my order.”

“Bai Xiong, we will go in first to scout the way.”

Lin Dong nodded, “Boss, be careful. I have this feeling that something’s not right in there.”

“En~!”

“If anything bad happens to us, don’t bother with us and bring our brothers away. Run as far as you can,” advised Luo Tian. It would be better with as few people as possible if they encountered any danger. He couldn’t take care of too many people.

Lin Dong looked at Luo Tian in seriousness before nodding, “I know what to do.”

Right after that, Luo Tian brought Bai Xiong to the steps that led up to the Boundless Sect.

Bai Lingling said with concern, “Please be careful.”

Luo Tian turned around to smile at her and say, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me.”

“Sigh~… She isn’t concerned about a big brother like me. No wonder father keeps saying a grown daughter can’t be kept unmarried,” Bai Xiong grinned.

Upon thinking of his father, Bai Xiong’s eyes darkened as he promised himself, “Deng Leigong, I will come back to kill you and avenge my father one day.”

Luo Tian looked at Bai Xiong and patted his shoulder, “Don’t think too much. We will eventually have our payback. We will return it back to the Deng family ten times or even a hundred times.”

The two of them slowly walked up the stairs.

With each step Luo Tian took, he felt his heart become heavier, like something was weighing down on it.

Bai Xiong looked carefree without any signs of discomfort.

Luo Tian didn’t say anything to him.

Just as he was thinking of how the Boundless Sect disciples had their souls ripped out, Luo Tian’s hair stood on end as he wondered to himself, “This world doesn’t have ghosts, right?”

After walking for half an hour, those two had completely disappeared from Bai Lingling’s sight.

They were only about 100 meters from the mountain gate, but Luo Tian was exhausted to the point of being covered in sweat. He felt as if he had just climbed out of the sea. What’s more, his shoulders felt heavier and heavier.

Bai Xiong asked, “Boss, are you feeling unwell? Why are you covered in sweat?”

They walked up the same set of stairs, but the expressions of those two were completely different.

Moreover, Luo Tian’s cultivation was higher than Bai Xiong’s, so how could he be tired to this degree?

Luo Tian replied, “Do you feel like there’s something heavy on your shoulders and steps are getting tired? I feel like someone has put a mountain on top of me.”

It wasn’t just a plain mountain but one filled with lead! Luo Tian really couldn’t hold on anymore and sat down on a step. The force of his sitting down had actually shattered the step!

Bai Xiong originally didn’t believe Luo Tian’s words, but now he did. His expression changed as he asked, “Boss, could it be that you’ve been possessed?”

“Gulp~!”

When Bai Xiong said this, Luo Tian’s heart tightened even more.

He looked around and didn’t see anything unusual about his surroundings. He had been on guard the whole way with his spiritual senses, but he didn’t sense the presence of any living creatures and didn’t detect any danger.

What’s going on?

Luo Tian grew more uneasy before asking internally, “Little Sister Illusion Fairy, do you know what’s going on?”

A short while later, Illusion Fairy replied with a sigh, “This is a place of extreme yin energy. I don’t know what happened here, but there are countless resentful spirits. There are over a thousand of them weighing down on your shoulders, their weight comparable to a huge mountain of lead.”

“Why are they only weighing you down and not Bai Xiong? I have no clue.”

Luo Tian’s expression changed as he cursed, “For fuck’s sake…”

“Over a thousand resentful spirits on my shoulder? Isn’t this the music that plays before I get crushed to death?”

Most importantly, Luo Tian couldn’t see them at all. They could be pissing and shitting on him right now, and he wouldn’t know it. This was actually what pissed him off the most.

“Damn it! Come out if you have the guts! I guarantee that I won’t beat you guys to death!” shouted Luo Tian.

He then looked up and around and only saw the blue sky and the bright sun. There was nothing else.

Bai Xiong looked around and asked, “Boss, who are you talking to?”

Luo Tian looked like a mentally ill person right now.

“Come out!”

“Who do you think you are by weighing down this daddy?!”

“Come out for this daddy!” Luo Tian shouted in anger.

The weight was getting so heavy that he could barely stand up straight. He then asked, “Did a lot more of those things attach themselves to me?”

Illusion Fairy replied, “Around double the amount. Your voice attracted a lot of resentful spirits, but I think something weird is going on. I can sense these resentful spirits have the ability to attack, but none of them are harming you. Also, the expressions on some of their faces look like they want you to do something for them.”

Illusion Fairy went quiet from contemplation, as she could see what Luo Tian could not.

Luo Tian stopped cursing under his breath. He then exhaled a big breath before saying calmly, “Do you guys need me to help you with something?”

“If you do, please leave my body and send a representative to talk to me. If you cannot reveal a physical form, then talk to the illusion goddess within me. She can convey everything you have to say.”

As his voice faded, Luo Tian’s body instantly lightened. He felt like he was weightless, and that feeling was extremely comfortable.

“Sure enough, they want something from us.”

Luo Tian had a sinking feeling before asking, “Can you converse with them?”

Illusion Fairy was silent for a bit before saying, “They are telling you not to enter the sect. Once you enter through the mountain gates, evil spirits will attack. They are stopping us here because they don’t want to watch us die.”

Luo Tian looked at the mountain gates not too far away, feeling a formless energy beckoning him over.

Illusion Fairy suddenly said, “If you can help them break free, they will give you all the treasures left behind by the Boundless Sect and agree to any other conditions you have.”

At this time, a system alert sounded off in Luo Tian’s mind.

Has a quest been triggered?
