Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 80 Falling to Earth (23)

These past few days have been an unforgettable experience for Shen Yan. Not only did he have to dig up graves, but he also had to fly around all day. The level of excitement was self-evident.

He and Luo Zai Shui each held a barely edible flatbread and ate it with clean stream water. Their clothes were filthy in less than two days, especially Luo Zai Shui's white dress, which looked like she had rolled in a mud pit.

Shen Yan looked at the sesame seed cake in his hand and sighed, "Tell me, have you really found anything? We've been working on this for so long, what exactly are you looking for?"

Luo swallowed the sesame seed cake in his mouth, pondered for a moment, and said, "We've almost finished searching, but..."

"But what?"

Shen Yan couldn't stand digging up graves every day anymore; he would rather go back and help Lord Jian organize his files.

"Well, how should I put it?" Luo Zai Shui glanced at the compass on the ground. "The time isn't right yet. We have to wait until they all come out before we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"How long will we have to wait?"

Shen Yanzhen felt like a wild man because he couldn't stay in the wild forever.

“It will be soon,” Luo Zai Shui said confidently. “My senior brother and the others are already taking action.”

The worst off was probably Ye Xiao, who was the one who was distracted. He was chased for several days before he could do anything.

Fortunately, they encountered Su Wusi and his group who had come to Chizhou.

"Senior Brother Ye, what's going on? Where's my senior sister?"

After finally shaking off their pursuers, the group found a safe place to rest and recuperate. Su Wusi quickly inquired about Luo Zai Shui's whereabouts.

Ye Xiao paused for a moment. He came out to support Junior Sister Luo, but instead of finding her, he was chased for several days.

"I haven't found her yet."

"Um..." This seems to deviate somewhat from Su Wu's thoughts. "What about my senior brothers?"

"They are buying us time at Lord Li's residence."

Upon hearing this, Su Wusi and Ji Tinghan frowned. Given their senior brother's personality, he shouldn't waste time there. If it was just a matter of stalling for time, then they could leave it to the other senior brothers, unless it was very dangerous there.

"Okay, I understand." Su Wusi was filled with thoughts. Right now, she needed to contact her senior brothers and sisters as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the communication talisman was useless at this time. The group was acting like headless flies, which would probably cause a lot of trouble.

No, that's not right. Senior Sister and Senior Brother wouldn't be so reckless. They must have already discussed the plan, or rather, they were planning while acting. That's why Ye Xiao was so confused. Otherwise, how could he not even know where Senior Sister was?

But what are their plans?

Seeing Su Wusi fall silent, Ye Xiao felt inexplicably ashamed. He had always been known as a prodigy, but he had lost face in front of Junior Sister Su. Not only could he not find Junior Sister Luo, but he had also dragged them into being hunted down.

Thinking of the pursuit Ye Xiao was facing, Su Wusi suddenly realized, yes, any of those senior brothers could have supported their senior sister, but why was Ye Xiao chosen? Of course, it was because Ye Xiao was the best fighter among them. The eldest senior brother needed to maintain contact with their senior sister, so the task of drawing fire naturally fell to Ye Xiao!

Having figured this out, Su Wusi naturally knew what to do next.

"Fourth Senior Brother, how many talismans do you have left?" Su Wusi rubbed his palms together and looked at Ji Tinghan.

Ji Tinghan, puzzled, replied, "There are also a dozen or so explosive talismans and five sound transmission talismans. I came in a hurry and didn't make many preparations."

"Senior Brother Ye, would you like to join us and help Senior Sister and the others with their plan?"

Su Wusi's wicked smile sent a chill down Ye Xiao's spine: "What plan?"

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Of course, we should make a big scene and draw their attention to us."

……

For Xie Jing, reaching the gates of the Ghost Realm was an easy task.

Everything around was blurry, and the exposed skin seemed to be licked by something disgusting, sending a chill down one's spine.

Xie Jing thought to himself that it was fortunate that the water hadn't reached this side. If it had, he might have really lost his life. He gathered the spiritual energy he had been releasing into his dantian and groped his way forward.

"I'm so hungry... I'm so hungry..."

"Who's there? Stop pushing me, or I'll disappear!"

"Kill...kill...kill!"

"It hurts so much... Is there anyone who can help me...?"

Xie Jing was already immune to these ghostly words. They were just low-level ghosts with unclear consciousness, only able to repeat these words. But if these things were to sneak into the human world, they would cause quite a bit of trouble.

He easily dealt with the little ghosts and continued deeper into the area. The further he went, the lower the temperature became, and it was not as noisy as outside. Inside, there were high-level ghosts who, in addition to eating little ghosts, also liked to suck the souls of people. If they were released, even just one of them would turn the human world into a hell.

"Strange, why are these big ghosts so quiet?"

Normally, these things wouldn't easily notice his presence, but today, there was no movement at all, which seemed particularly suspicious. The lingering ghostly aura in the air suggested that these things hadn't been gone for too long.

Xie Jing didn't have the extra time to find the whereabouts of those things, so he could only check if the barrier was damaged. Just as he took out his compass, a gust of cold wind blew by and knocked the compass from his hand to the ground.

"Well, someone actually dares to trespass into the Ghost Realm. They really don't value their lives."

Cultivators can't gain any advantage fighting in the Ghost Realm, but Xie Jing can't escape now either.

"Now that you've discovered me, why not show yourself? Hiding like this is hardly the way to treat a guest."

Xie Jing calmly gripped the hilt of his sword, and as a gust of cold wind brushed past him, he slashed down without hesitation.

Do you really think I can't see you?

The ghost seemed genuinely injured and made no further move.

Xie Jing didn't seem to take him seriously. He bent down to pick up the compass from the ground, dusted off non-existent dust, and turned to leave.

"I don't know what tricks you ghosts have been up to lately, but don't even think about harming the human world. Just stay in the ghost realm and I might spare your lives."

"By the way," Xie Jing suddenly stopped, a cold smile spreading across his face, "Don't even think about informing your Ghost King. What kind of unity do you Ghost Clan have? Instead of wasting time dealing with me, you should think about how to pull him down from that position."

Immediately, Xie Jing disappeared. The ghost left behind then covered his wound and revealed his true form. He pondered Xie Jing's words and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Yes, it was time to change the position of Ghost King. A wisp of black mist dissipated, and the person vanished again.
