In a broken down Daoist temple, three women and one man gathered here. If Ye Mo was here, he would recognize that one of them was Luo Xuan.
"Originally, we had half a year but now, we probably canât wait for half a year. Iâm prepared to go back with my two younger martial sisters. Older martial brother Qi, are you going back as well?" The one speaking was a slightly older looking nun. However, her skin was creamy white while her temperament seemed royal and untouchable as if she was above the mortal world.
The man called Qi didnât have time to reply when an extremely beautiful woman next to him said: "But Luo Yue martial sister, I still havenât found what I wanted. And, Yu Lin martial brother havenât been out long. Yu Lin martial brother said itâs very beneficial to his cultivation being out to experience the world. Plus, we only get this chance once every 50 years. If we go back before time is up, wouldnât it be too pity? Perhaps we can wait a bit more...."
"No, recently, a blood coral appeared in Liang Pu. This thing is very precious even at our place. Thatâs why in the mortal world, there are hidden sect people everywhere. If we stay here, we might be found. Yu Lin martial brother isnât from the same sect as us. If he wants to stay, of course I wonât say anything." The Luo Yue nun was very straight forward obviously not agreeing to that pretty girlâs words.
Qi martial brother hesitated for a moment before saying: "Luo Yue martial sister, I canât go back yet. I still have something unfinished. Luo Fei martial sisterâs words are also reasonable. Plus, I will take care of her. After all, itâs not easy coming out."
Luo Yue frowned. Seeing Qi martial brother and Luo Fei glancing at each other in that way, she felt uncomfortable. She felt that since Luo Fei martial sister chose nun cultivation, she shouldnât get close to someone like Qi Yulin. Plus, she didnât have a good impression of Qi Yulin either.
But Luo Yue didnât say anything and turned to the youngest girl and said: "Luo Xuan, what are your opinions?"
Luo Xuan said: "Big martial sister, I felt that Iâve learnt a lot in these two months outside. And I have a feeling that if I have another 2 or 3 months, I can completely look through the library of Chun An Uni. I believe that I can find what we need there. But if big martial sister feels that we should go back, I will listen to you."
Qi Yuling smiled and said: "Luo Yin martial sister, Luo Xuan is right. Sometimes, experiencing the outside world for a while and then go back for serene cultivation is better than constantly cultivating. I will take good care of these two martial sisters. Luo Yue martial sister, donât worry."
Luo Xuan smiled but didnât say anything. She thought different. She wouldnât need this Yulin martial brother to take care of.
Luo Yue sighed, "Okay, weâll go back after some more time. Luo Xuan, although you cultivate very fast, you still need to be careful. Although the people outside are weak, they are very cunning. Itâs very easy to fall into their schemes. You need to take care of yourself."
"I know, big martial sister." Luo Xuan poked out her tongue.
Looking at Qi martial brother and Luo Fei disappearing very quickly, Luo Xuan looked confused at big martial sister and asked: "Martial sister, why did you change your mind? Thatâs not like you."
Luo Yue sighed looking at Luo Fei who disappeared far off. After a long while, she said: "Luo Xuan martial sister, have you noticed something different about your Luo Fei martial sister?"
"Not really? Why, whatâs wrong martial sister?" Luo Xuan asked in surprise.
Luo Yue frowned and said: "I only noticed later. Luo Fei has lost her virginity. If she goes back now, she wonât get away from the harsh punishment from the sect so I donât know what to do either."
"What......" Luo Xuan exclaimed. After some time she said: "Is it Qi martial brother? How can he do that?"
Luo Yue sighed and said: "It should be him. Qi Yulin looks very charming but I feel heâs not reliable and real. If he really loved Luo Fei martial sister, he wouldnât take her virginity now. Sigh, Luo Fei really doesnât know self love."
After pausing for a moment, Luo Yue continued: "Letâs not talk about that. Luo Xuan you must remember not to trust anyone so easily especially the men outside. Theyâre all very bad. You just need to search through the library in Chun An Uni. If something happens, you must remember to contact me."
"Mhm, martial sister I know. Even if you donât tell me, I know how bad the people outside are. Iâve met one recently. Oh no, not good....." Luo Xuan seemed to have remembered something and screamed. She seemed very worried.
"Whatâs wrong, Luo Xuan." Luo Yue looked at Luo Xuan in surprise and asked.
Luo Xuan quickly said: "Uh... nothing, I have something urgent. Iâll be going first, martial sister. Iâll come find you when I have time." Then, Luo Xuan turned and left quickly.
She was really worried. She left that annoying guy next door the black dai wood as a bait for the ghost tonight. It was already 2-3 am now but she completely forgot about it.
Perhaps that Mo Ying was already completely dead. If that really was so, then she killed him. Although that man was disgusting, if he died due to her, she would feel very bad.
...
Just when Ye Mo reached the 9th floor, the sound disappeared and Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense, there was nothing on the 9th floor. Just when Ye Mo was about to look carefully, there seemed to be two shadows walking past to the 10th floor. After a brief moment, that walking sound appeared on the 10th floor. Ye Mo didnât even think and sped to the 10th floor.
The 10th floor was very quiet but Ye Moâs spirit sense scanned a few faint shadows. If he didnât have spirit sense, he wouldnât have been able to discern this.
However, these few people were like dolls and stood in the center of the living room not moving at all.
Ye Mo knew that people had souls and after death, the souls would disappear into nature. As for whether there was reincarnation, Ye Mo didnât know but he knew that the dead spirit couldnât appear in day light. Unless it was a ghost cultivator. Ghost cultivator had a cultivation method so they couldnât be treated as normal people.
But there couldnât be cultivation methods here much less ghost cultivator method. So how did the not yet dissipated souls stand there and not move?
Ye Mo scanned out his spirit sense but didnât find anything. He believed these normal ghosts werenât able to push Luo Xuan down. It meant that there was something above. Ye Mo came to the 11th floor.
But as soon as Ye Mo left the 10th floor, his spirit sense noticed those ghosts that didnât move started to walk around and the footsteps were very loud. Perhaps it was the ghost of the previous owner of the 10th floor. He was harmed and his soul was shackled.
Ye Mo also saw a few ghosts at the 11th floor but they seemed more ferocious than the 10th floor ones. When they saw Ye Mo, they actually charged up as though they were going to devour Ye Mo. Before they even reached Ye Mo, the bleak wind already came.
Ye Mo sneered and threw out a few fireballs. There was a sharp shriek and the ghosts disappeared traceless. Although they were burnt by Ye Mo, Ye Mo knew they were far from as powerful as the one Luo Xuan met last night.
Ye Mo then came to the 12th floor. He already knew that these ghosts werenât natural. It was probably someone farming these ghosts. It could be seen that this person was quite capable. Originally, people died like an extinguished candle. They would dissipate in the world to nothing.
But here, Ye Mo found someone who could control dead spirit and make it not dissipate and even condense. This was very strange.
At the 12th floor, Ye Mo found the black shadow that fought with Luo Xuan indeed.
This black shadow didnât seem to react to Ye Moâs arrival and Ye Mo wasnât in a rush to attack it. He scanned his spirit sense out and soon found one corner of the main bedroom was different. There was a wardrobe, he couldnât scan his spirit sense in.
Ye Mo didnât even think and walked to this corner and threw out a fireball. He didnât care about the black shadow in the middle. Although it was strong, it was nothing to Ye Mo. Other people couldnât see it but it had nowhere to hide up from Ye Moâs spirit sense.
And, Ye Mo knew that this black shadow was a ghoul formed artificially by someone. As for the other ghosts a few floors below, they should be the food for this fierce ghoul to make it grow.
Although he threw out a fireball, Ye Mo couldnât help but to sigh. China had a great landscape and vast sort of things, there were all sorts of people. There were also countless methods of feeding and keeping ghosts. However, people in the cities just rarely encountered them. He didnât expect to see someone overtly keeping ghosts in the city and grew out a rather strong one.
One could imagine how much souls were needed for this ghoul to be strong enough to beat yellow level middle stage martial artist. Souls werenât easy to get. Even if you had means to collect ghosts, you needed to act on it immediately. But once a person dies, his soul would disappear immediately so these souls needed to be collected on the spot.
From this, it could be seen that the ghost keeper was a cruel person. Ye Moâs killing intent rose, he threw out a few more fireballs.
Splash splash, the closet that kept his spirit sense out was broken and a woman wearing a large red robe stood out. Her face was pale and lips were vibrant red as though she was dead.
