Huddled in the narrow compartment of a horse-drawn carriage, Hu Dafu trembled as he clutched the protective charm tightly. His anxiety had caused cold sweat to bead on his forehead, and his legs shook restlessly.
Suddenly, he thought he heard some unusual noise outside, which scared him into hurriedly drawing back the carriage curtain.
Summoning his courage, he stuck his head out and looked toward Guyue Village.
In an instant, he felt his entire body go weak with shock!
Within his field of vision, he seemed to see one after another wraithlike specter hovering over Guyue Village. The specters appeared so vivid in his eyes.
He even recognized many familiar faces among them, faces that time should have erased.
But now, seeing them again...
Memories from a decade or two past resurfaced in his mind, memories he couldn’t dismiss no matter how hard he tried.
Outside the carriage.
The convoy of Zhenhai Escort Agency masters and some of the drivers hired by Hu Dafu also noticed something was off. They looked around in horror, trying to make sense of the situation in the dimming sky.
"What’s happening?" An Escort Master tried to soothe his increasingly agitated horse, clearly seeing the fear in the animal’s eyes.
This left him both nervous and puzzled, as he glanced around at the surroundings, especially at the layer of clouds in the sky, and nervously muttered, "Why has it suddenly gotten so dark?"
Although it was already night, there had been moonlight filtering through, allowing one to barely make out objects.
But now, forget about moonlight, even the torchlight they held seemed dimmer.
It was as if some mysterious force...
...was obscuring the light.
"Inside... could something strange be happening in there? I thought I saw some blurry figures over there, but... I’m not sure."
"Hey, hey, hey... Don’t spout nonsense at a time like this! Don’t scare people with that kind of talk!"
"Could Chief Zhen and Leader Wang have run into trouble?"
"Hiss! If anything happens to them, what are we going to do?!"
"Tch, tch, tch! What kind of curse are you muttering? If something really happened to them, what would we do then?"
"Eh? Is it my imagination or does it feel like something is flying over here?"
"Where? Where?"
"You... you all look! What’s that in the sky?!"
"..."
A sudden cry of alarm drew everyone’s attention to the sky.
In a moment...
All were dumbfounded!
Then... on their shocked faces, fear gradually emerged. Their eyes filled with terror, and their cheeks twitched nervously.
"Ghosts! They’re ghosts!" A driver screamed: "Ghosts! So many ghosts! So many, so many ghosts!!"
Before them, in the sky, spirit after spirit of wronged souls flew toward them, carried by the howling Yin wind.
The surging Yin energy formed a layer of clouds.
Blocking out the moonlight.
Several torches held by the Escort Masters were snuffed out by the gusts of Yin wind, and the horses next to them panickedly struggled free from their reins and dashed about, creating instant chaos.
The Escort Masters tried to control the horses, but how could their human strength withstand the power of these creatures?
And the ghosts flying toward them...
Had left them so petrified that they were powerless.
Even though these Escort Masters were used to traveling around, they had never encountered a situation like this. With so many vengeful spirits surging toward them, who could stand against it?
Even the most mentally stout amongst them were now pale with fright.
At this moment, they even replayed all the strange and wicked things they might have done in their lives.
Some of the more timid drivers collapsed to the ground, their crotch areas dampening as the smell of urine began to spread.
An Escort Master, panicked, tried to strike at a spirit flying toward him with his sword, but he quickly found that the ghost had dodged around him, heading behind him instead.
This left him momentarily stunned.
Other nearby Escort Masters and drivers encountered the same situation... They were perplexed to find that these frightening spirits didn’t seem to be coming at them but were instead passing by them, toward a place behind them!
The group of Escort Masters and drivers hastily looked back and saw a swarm of vengeful spirits converging on a carriage in the middle of the convoy.
That was...
"That’s Mr. Hu’s carriage!" an Escort Master exclaimed shockingly: "They seem to be targeting Mr. Hu!"
And Mr. Hu, who was none other than Hu Dafu, was now so frightened that he had messed himself.
Hu Dafu gripped the radiant charm with one hand.
He frantically waved the charm, crying out in sheer panic, "Don’t come over here! None of you come over here! It’s not my fault, it’s not my fault! I gave you food back then, and I gave you silver!"
"If it comes to it... If it comes to it, I won’t transport your bones to Guyuan County anymore! If it comes to it... I’ll build each of you a nice grave with a body!"
