“The soul gnawing beast used to exist in the Ghost Realm.” Little Dream said. “But they can’t come to the Human Realm. They often travel to the Devil Realm. So this isn’t unique in the Devil Realm.”

“It’s true that both the Ghost Realm and Devil World have them.” Sima You Yue said. “This is not the time to discuss this. The opponent is very vicious. Presumably, he’s not a good stubble.”

“In other words, the strange things in Red Mountain Peak are also caused by the people of the Ghost Realm?” Wei Zi Qi concluded.

“If a part of the soul is sucked out, that person will be mentally incomplete, like a fool.” Little Dream said.

“In the beginning, there were only a large number of mentally incomplete people in Red Mountain Peak. Later, these deaths began to occur. It used to be constrained in the Red Mountain Peak, but now it has spread to the adjacent territory. This shows that the situation is becoming more and more dangerous.” Sima You Ran said.

“What is this Ghost Clan trying to do?” Fatty Qu asked. “Do they want to occupy human territories?”

Feng Yi was listening then discussing when he suddenly looked toward the entrance of the village. He shouted, “Who’s there?!”

“Could it be those from the Ghost Realm haven’t left yet?” Sima You Le guessed.

“No, they are human.” Sima You Yue also sensed the movement at the village eastside. “They’re most likely like us who thought to visit the surrounding villages to investigate the news.”

At this time, the other party also discovered their presence. The group ran over.

“Audacious thief, how dare you do such cruel things. Take my move!” A female saw them and yelled. She attacked them indiscriminately.

Feng Yi easily resolved the opponent’s tactics. A surge of pressure passed over and the female was rooted in place, unable to breath.

“Have mercy!” A familiar male voice transmitted from afar. He saluted Feng Yi before seeing the situation.

“Brother Chou?” Sima You Yue called out in surprise when she saw him.

“You Yue? Zi Qi? Why are you here?” Chou Xiao Tian was surprised that he would meet them here.

“We came to investigate the situation of Red Mountain Peak. When we heard that something happened here, we came over. Are you also investigating this?” Sima You Yue replied. Seeing that female being pressured by Feng Yi, she asked, “Is she with you?”

“This is my Junior Sister Yan Ling. She is quick-tempered and has offended you. Please forgive her.” Chou Xiao Tian apologized.

“Feng Yi.” Sima You Yue called out. Feng Yi retracted his pressure, and the female was able to retrieve her life from the gate of hell.

“Thanks a lot.” Chou Xiao Tian nodded his thanks to You Yue.

“Fortunately, you met us. If you meet some other people, then it is not easy to discuss.” Sima You Yue said.

“Hmph,” Yan Ling snorted and returned to Chou Xiao Tian’s side dissatisfied.

At the time, others also came over and asked, “What happened?”

“Elder Senior Brother, just now, Junior Sister offended them. Fortunately, we knew each other. Now everything is alright.” Chou Xiao Tian answered.

“You know them?” Mu Gang asked.

“Yes, it’s some friends I met in Heavenly Tiger Ridge.” Chou Xiao Tian answered, and then introduced both sides.

Mu Gang paid his respects to Sima You Yue and the group. “Little Junior Sister is worried for those who died, so she was so reckless. I, Mu Gang, will apologize to everyone here.”

Sima You Yue saluted back and added some polite greetings.

Sima You Yue noticed that Chou Xiao Tian and then were alright. That Yan Ling was probably spoiled since childhood. Even if she did something wrong, her Senior Brothers would apologize for her, and she didn’t say anything.

It was just a little girl. They didn’t plan to fuss about it on the account of she wouldn’t cause trouble with them.

“You Yue, since the last auction, I haven’t seen you for a few years. Aren’t you in the Central Area? Why did you come here to investigate Red Mountain Peak?” Chou Xiao Tian asked.

“We participated in the examination of the talent academy and became students of the sect. This time, we took on a sect’s mission to investigate the strange things in Red Mountain Peak.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Then what have you discovered?” A blue robed man behind Mu Gang asked.

Sima You Yue noticed the aggressive look in the male’s gaze. Her eyes flicked slightly, and replied, “We just arrived at Mushui City yesterday, and this is the first time we saw these. How can I discover anything yet? But I feel that these people died brutally and their wounds are abnormal.”

“Have you thought of investigating these abnormalities?” The blue robed man asked.

“We just arrived here, before we remember to discuss these abnormalities, your little Junior Sister attacked us.” Sima You Yue said. “What did you discover?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Gang shook his head. “We also found that these corpses are somewhat different. They were killed yesterday night, but why are the corpses showing their current state.”

“Your noble sect is a large sect. Presumably more knowledgeable than our little brats. Do you know why?” Sima You Yue probed.

“We don’t know what’s going on.” Mu Gang said. “We want to report the situation to the sectm and hopefully we can get an answer.”

“Since we found out about the situation, let’s go back and report to master.” The blue robed man affirmed.

Mu Gang nodded. “We’re going back. Do you want to go together?”

“We still want to look at the situation here again.” Sima You Yue rejected.

“Then we’ll take our leave.” Mu Gang cupped his hands before them.

“Elder Senior Brother, I want to stay with them. You guys go back first.” Chou Xiao Tian said.

“Then pay attention to your safety.” Mu Gang did not say more and nodded to Sima You Yue and the group before leaving.

Yet Yan Ling stood rooted at her spot.

“Little Junior Sister?’ Mu Gang paused and looked at her.

“I want to stay with Senior Brother Chou.” Yan Ling said.

“Brother Chou is staying with us to reminiscence the old times. You’re not going to. What are you staying here for?” Fatty Qu did not like this female and whispered, “Do you want to reminiscence the old times with us too?”

They did not have any old times with her. If they really were to reminiscence, they could only talk about how she attacked them just now.

“Little Junior Sister, if you stay outside, master will be worried.” Mu Gang said. “Come with us.”

“I…”

“Do you want to make Master angry?” Mu Gang frowned.

Yan Ling thought of her father’s anger, and she pouted and left unhappily.

After they left, Sima You Yue glanced at Chou Xiao Tian doubtfully. “Why do I feel like your Senior Brothers don’t like you?”

Just now he said he wanted to stay, but those people weren’t worried at all that he would be in danger, as if his life and death had nothing to do with them.

Chou Xiao Tian smiled bitterly. “They didn’t expect me to be alive.”

“Didn’t you snatched the goddess of their dreams?” Sima You Yue teased. Seeing Chou Xiao Tian dodging eyes, she chuckled, “Did I guess it right?”

Chou Xiao Tian was embarrassed and uncomfortably shifted the topic. He asked, “What did you discover just now?”
