Chapter Seventy-Nine Exploration

  Thought it through, and everyone felt at ease. However, there was still some unease in their hearts, like a time bomb waiting to go off.

  At nightfall, the fog once again shrouded the desolate place. The ghost domain reappeared, and behind the general's mansion, a deserted path emerged.

  Dark and gloomy, all the way to a profound and immeasurable world, even ghosts would feel a chill upon seeing it.

  "Is this the way to Gan Chi?" Liu Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he finally suppressed the idea in his heart. He said: "Send a few ghost soldiers to guard this place!"

  He paused and said: "I don't ask to be able to hold on, I just hope something comes over and can sound the alarm!"

  Upon hearing the order, all the ghosts were solemn in their hearts and knew that Liu Yi was also very wary of this place.

  "It's not the ten thousand that I fear, but the one in ten thousand!"; Liu Yi added a sentence and said to Shen Tuoqi and other ghosts: "You guys practice these ghost soldiers well here! I'll go scout ahead and come back."

  All the ghosts were startled and cried out: "Master, this is too dangerous! We will accompany you!"

  Even Mu Yao heard it and exclaimed: "I want to go with you!"

  Liu Yi thought for a moment and said: "It's also good this way, but there's no need to use so many. After all, we still have to be on guard here. Just the two of us, me and Mu Yao, will do."

  "My lord, this is not right. Someone should be protecting you and Miss Mu Yao." Shentu Qi said.

  Liu Yi smiled and said: "Don't look down on Mu Yao, she's almost become a spirit ghost. You may not even be able to beat her!"

  This sentence made Muyao's small face bloom with joy, and she raised her own small fist in triumph.

  Shen Tuqi's face was filled with bitter smiles, and Mu Yao's realm was quite high, but her courage was small, and she had never fought with anyone before. Even if she had great strength, what use would it be?

  It's just this sentence, even if Shen Tudi's brain was kicked by a donkey, he wouldn't say it out loud.

  "Alright then, I'll bring four more guards. Besides, with the precious armor of Gan Chi protecting me, what danger could there be?"

  In short, Shen Tuqi and others were still dissatisfied, but they had nothing more to say. Liu Yi chose four fierce ghosts as his guards and instructed them that even if they died, they must protect Liu Yi on his way back.

  These four ghosts immediately promised generously, feeling both glorious and under immense pressure.

  Time was not early, so Liu Yi didn't delay any longer and led the group through this passage. The road seemed gloomy and profound, but somehow it felt like no matter how far they walked, they couldn't reach the end.

  This can't help but make one worry, fearing that by dawn, this passage will disappear and those trapped inside it will vanish along with it.

  A fierce ghost named A Xie worried and spoke out the matter. Liu Yi's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Everyone stop, no need to go any further!"

  "That's right, sir," said Ah Qiu, "aren't we going back?"

  Liu Yi smiled faintly: "You don't understand, it's useless. We'll just wait here!"

  "It's just that this road, no matter how we walk, it's impossible to reach the end. However, when dawn breaks and yin and yang switch, we should appear on the side of Gan Chi!"

  Liu Yi looked at Mu Yao in surprise, but saw that Mu Yao made a big silly face at Liu Yi.

  This made Liu Yi laugh and cry at the same time, this little girl is getting more and more fearless. If there weren't people around watching, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and teach her a lesson or two.

  It's just that the atmosphere and these rough people didn't seem to notice anything was amiss. But another ghost soldier named A'wu suddenly turned pale: "This is terrible! Doesn't this mean we'll all fall under the sunlight?"

  These words immediately made Mu Yao burst out laughing and she couldn't help but lean on Liu Yi's shoulder, regardless of her image.

  Liu Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and seeing the weird looks on several guys' faces, he knew what they were thinking. In this world, although there was no saying that men and women should not be intimate with each other, it was rare to see people being affectionate in public.

  Luckily in Liu Yi's world, what kind of thing hasn't he seen before? He wouldn't even put this kind of thing in his eyes. Matters between men and women are like that, the more you avoid them, the more others like to use them as a joke.

  It's all the same even if I become a ghost!

  Liu Yi smiled lightly and explained: "How could that be? If this passage exists, the spiritual realm on the other side should also exist. If it's in the past, there might still be danger. Everyone be careful!"

  "Yes!" As soon as Liu Yi mentioned serious business, the four bodyguards immediately became solemn.

  "Don't worry, if there's any danger later on, I'll protect you all!" Mu Yu said with a proud and arrogant smile.

  Liu Yi burst out laughing: "At that time, it's good if you don't end up crying because you're scared!"

  Mei Yu's face turned slightly red, feeling a bit embarrassed, as if she had indeed been quite timid in the past. With even the slightest rustling of leaves, she would feel afraid.

  "It's almost dawn, everyone take a short rest to recharge and prepare for what's next!" Liu Yi changed the subject and gave orders, not wanting to embarrass Mu Yao too much.

  Mu Yao pouted when she saw Liu Yi's gaze coming over, indicating that she was angry. However, seeing Liu Yi deliberately scanning his eyes on those lips, Mu Yao immediately became very embarrassed.

  Two people secretly exchanged glances, their eyes locking in a fleeting moment. The four bodyguards could only pretend not to notice, avoiding eye contact. Suddenly, the world seemed unbearable to continue on.

  After an unknown period of time, this dimly lit passageway suddenly gave rise to a rapid downward falling sensation. The sky and earth were turned upside down in a sudden transformation.

  Waiting for the ghosts to pass by, I found myself standing in front of an endless and boundless darkness. Desolate, dim, and gloomy. The howling cold wind blew by, like a sharp steel knife.

  That Ah Ou was blown by this gust of wind, and in an instant, he felt a chill run down his spine, thoroughly cold to the bone, almost dispersing.

  But at this moment, a streak

  A silvery glow fell on him, its chill light freezing his soul, making Ah Ou shiver and come back to life.

  She looked back with a grateful expression, but saw Mu Yao smiling brightly, revealing a proud look on her face, as if to say, "I saved you!"

  Ah, my heart skipped a beat, don't look around too much. I heard Liu Yi's voice shouting: "This place is somewhat eerie, these gusts of wind carry a killing aura. You all be careful to concentrate your minds and calm your hearts, I'll teach you an incantation, follow me in reciting it..."

  "Supreme Tai Star, ever-changing and unstoppable. Drive out evil spirits, protect life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, heart and spirit at peace. Three souls forever, no loss or collapse. Urgent as a law decree." After reciting it with Liu Yi several times, he indeed felt his soul and spirit solidify. Although the gale was still like a knife cut, at least there was no longer any feeling of soul and spirit wavering.

  Liu Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy as he thought back to the days when he had just arrived in this world, nothing more than a lonely and wandering soul. He would often use this incantation to protect his spirit whenever the wind blew. It was only with its help that he managed to persevere until he finally found that temple and took refuge beneath the statue of the deity.

  Nowadays, this situation seems to have some of the same appearance as in those years. However, the specific situation is greatly different. This is a desolate and eerie place, with fierce winds cutting like knives. If there were lonely souls or wild ghosts here, even with divine spells, it would be difficult to protect oneself completely.

  Fortunately, Ah Nuo's ghostly powers were no match for the Moonlit Pearl that encased Mu Yao's body in a thin layer of chill light, rendering the gale powerless against her.

  "Master, what should we do now?" Little Xie asked.

  "Let's find a place to take shelter from the wind first, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back until tonight."

  Yes!

  Although it's pitch black in this ghostly realm, once you exit, it will definitely be broad daylight. It's likely that the road won't reappear until night falls again.

  Mei Yu carefully marked the location of the passage, then walked in a straight line to search for a place to take shelter from the wind.

  However, in this desolate and eerie land, everything was flat and even, like a vast plain stretching as far as the eye could see. Even the ground itself had been smoothed out by years of fierce winds, becoming as slick as glass and hard as iron.

  It's not just Xiao Wei who is strange, Liu Yi himself is also puzzled. Where on earth are they now?

  But at this moment, I felt a sense of danger. Liu Yi shouted: "Everyone be on guard."

  A faint glow gradually condensed in his hand, and an additional Earth God Heart Seal appeared. Amidst the dark wind, a bizarre, three-headed, four-armed, six-legged ghostly creature burst out.

  Reminded by Liu Yi, the four of them rushed forward without hesitation. This ghost was a fierce and powerful entity with a massive body, but its movements were slow and its consciousness seemed unclear.

  Four guards rushed over and almost immediately dismembered the ghostly creature. Even so, the thing was still roaring something in its mouth, and it didn't seem to have received a fatal injury.

  This made the four guards' faces change greatly, the weapons they used were all transformed by Liu Yi's divine power. Having killed him in the past, how could they still not kill this ghost's soul?

  Then he saw Ah suddenly stepped forward one step, and with one sword, beheaded the ghost again.

  That skull rolled far away, howling, and still wanted to roll back and merge again.

  Liu Yi saw it and slightly furrowed his brow. However, the divine heart seal floated out, a ray of light directly fixed on it, firmly pinning down this broken ghost body.

  "My lord......" Ahu's expression slightly changed: "This thing seems to have devoured many souls. It's extremely troublesome, and it's very difficult for us to completely kill it!"

  "This is a fierce ghost, but it has swallowed too many of the same souls and hasn't been able to ascend, transforming into these monsters," said Mu Yao.

  Liu Yi nodded, many ghosts in reality have nothing to eat and can't bear the suffering of hunger and cold, so they will devour other ghosts.

  In this way, except for the extremely small probability of being promoted to a higher level of powerful ghost, most of them have become like this, swallowing too many souls and unable to digest.

  It was a weapon transformed by his divine power, and he couldn't behead its soul even once. To thoroughly resolve it would indeed be somewhat troublesome.

  Thinking of it, the divine mind's seal light rotated and pressed down like a huge millstone, thoroughly annihilating the ghostly object, and black air and some colorful light points flew out.
