Yun Jiuqing swallowed the rice ball.

Puffing up with anger, she said, "Those guys are nothing but a bunch of beasts!"

Elsewhere.

A group of women were whispering amongst themselves.

"Are they really not afraid of those monsters and planning to stay to help us?" one woman stole a glance at Fan Wu and the others, saying, "I heard the young Taoist saying that there is someone among them called Daoist Fan Wu, and he is the most powerful among them. That tallest man over there is the Daoist Fan Wu the little Taoist mentioned."

"Ssst! He really is tall and big! Is he truly from the Great Zhou Dynasty? In my memory, people from the Great Zhou shouldn’t be that tall! The young Taoist with the delicate skin must be the one from the Great Zhou, right?!"

"Who knows... Is it really the right decision for them to stay? If they’re no match for the monsters, might they not likely end up losing their lives, their bodies torn open and gutted by the monsters?"

"They said they are all cultivators, so there shouldn’t be too much of a problem, should there?"

"Maybe they have no idea how terrifying those monsters really are."

"Yes, ah... sigh..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"But this is our only lifeline; do you really wish to continue living like this forever? No, we might not even live out our lifespans. We probably can’t keep going like this for five years, we would be dead."

"Daoist Fan Wu looks so sturdy, he should be able to match up to those monsters, right?"

"It’s getting dark; we should hurry back. If those monsters mistake us for trying to run away, they might just rip us open and hang us from a tree."

"Ah... why is our fate so hard!"

"..."

Soon.

The sun had completely set.

The women in this eerie village hurried back to their own homes, their hearts filled with more trepidation than ever before.

On one hand, they were worried about the safety of Fan Wu and the others, showing that most of them were kind-hearted.

On the other hand, they harbored a hope for survival.

They wanted to live on.

And they wanted to escape from this place.

They thought about it every moment!

...

Now, the only ones who dared to stay outside were Fan Wu and the others.

Fan Wu appeared utterly unperturbed,

as if he had no concern for the dangers that might come.

Yun Jiuqing, on the other hand, was very vigilant.

She had her Red Jade Short Sword firmly grasped in one hand, and her other hand was already clutching several Golden Talismans.

She was ready for battle!

Liu Feng’s forehead was slick with nervous sweat; he knew from the descriptions of the women during the day that the monsters that had brought them here were not simple. At the very least, they were not something a novice cultivator like him could handle.

Liu Feng could only hope that he wouldn’t hold them back in what was to come; beyond that, he had no grand expectations.

Xing Fengzi was somewhat calmer as, aside from Fan Wu, he was the most powerful among their party.

He had some confidence.

With Xing Fengzi’s level of cultivation and knowledge, he was someone who, even if he couldn’t overcome the enemy, could still ensure his own survival.

Whooosh whooosh whooosh...

Suddenly!

In the black of night... a faint breeze began to stir, and this breeze was incredibly discomfiting to feel.

It was like a blast of cold wind had just hit!

At this time.

Though autumn had arrived.

But the breeze blowing at night shouldn’t be this cold.

So.

There must be something strange!

"Huh!" Yun Jiuqing exhaled sharply and found that her breath had turned into a puff of white mist. It would not be unusual in the deep of winter.

"Yin Energy!" Yun Jiuqing immediately realized, "This wind carries a trace of Yin Energy! The creatures spoken of by those women... it seems they have already appeared!!"

Xing Fengzi frowned and said, "But this humble Taoist has not seen them, and they do not seem to be actively coming out."

"Because they are not beings with autonomous consciousness," Fan Wu’s voice rose at this moment. "They will only act according to a certain command and will not make more adaptive changes."

Yun Jiuqing and the others were immediately taken aback.

Yun Jiuqing asked excitedly, "Daoist Priest Fan, have you discerned something?!"

"I suppose you could say that."

Fan Wu replied.

The others couldn’t see anything because their own cultivation was very low. However, Daoist Priest Fan was different; although Fan Wu was not versed in the ways of cultivation, his "Power" attribute was not to be trifled with!

Within dozens of miles, any strange disturbance could not escape his ears. Under this deep and dark night, whatever signals were hidden could not be concealed from his eyes.

"[Mindless Myriad Sons Ghost King Clone Alpha—Life: 300—Power: 9—Skills...]"

"[Mindless Myriad Sons Ghost King Clone Beta—Life: 300—Power...]"

"[Mindless...]"

With a casual glance under the night sky, Fan Wu’s eyes could clearly see one creature after another lurking around the village. They almost imperceptibly surrounded the entire village, preventing anyone within from leaving.

If anyone were to leave, they would be discovered by them, and their fate could be the same as the corpses hanging from the trees.

In response to Yun Jiuqing and others, whose gaze was filled with a desire for knowledge.

Fan Wu said, "This area is harboring a Ghost King, and the creatures mentioned by those women are likely the Ghost King’s incarnations."

His words were as shocking as they were calm!

At least...

Yun Jiuqing and the others.

Were stunned!

Yun Jiuqing said blankly, "Just upon arriving in the Great Yan Dynasty, to randomly encounter a village that harbors a Ghost King?"

She even began to doubt her own luck, wondering if she was terribly unfortunate, or if it was not a good idea to venture out at all.

And the two words "Ghost King"... made Yun Jiuqing think of the Ghost King of the Ten Halls she had encountered in the Netherworld!

She remembered all too well how terrifying that Ghost King of the Ten Halls was!

Xing Fengzi said gravely, "A Ghost King, huh..."

Liu Feng was completely bewildered, "Gho-ghost... Ghost King? Are we now... going to be enemies with a Ghost King?!"

Liu Feng, although his cultivation was shallow.

That did not mean he had no concept of a Ghost King.

He knew that the existence of a Ghost King was terrifying, the king among evil spirits!

Even some Yin Envoys in the Underworld wouldn’t dare to provoke a Ghost King.

And what they had encountered now...

Was a Ghost King?!

Liu Feng, already on edge, felt a wave of goosebumps all over his scalp!

Why is it that whenever he follows Daoist Fan Wu,

He encounters such thrilling situations?

He couldn’t take it anymore!

...
