Hearing Sun Muqing's words, Ye Feng felt utterly helpless.

"There are no ghosts in this world, so vengeful spirits and skeletons are certainly not ghosts," Ye Feng said.

"Oh, then I'm not afraid anymore," Sun Muqing said.

Jiang Lingxuan nodded, the fear on her face quickly disappearing as she calmed down.

Now that they know the vengeful spirits and skeletons are monsters and not ghosts, what do Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan have to be afraid of?

They've killed monsters before!

Moreover, the vengeful spirit skeleton is not a particularly powerful monster among demonic beasts; it is merely a sixth-grade demonic beast.

A sixth-grade demonic beast corresponds to the Separation and Union Realm of a human martial artist, and the two of them are already at the sixth level of the True Essence Realm. If they still can't beat it, they might as well find a block of tofu and smash their heads against it.

Another vengeful skeleton has appeared.

As soon as the vengeful skeleton appeared, it pounced on Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan. Sun Muqing immediately let out a soft shout and thrust his sword forward.

Jiang Lingxuan also waved her hands, and one after another, slender silver needles struck the wronged skeleton like a continuous drizzle.

Attacked simultaneously by both Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, the vengeful skeleton was severely injured and flew out of the carriage.

"This place is too small, we can't move around freely, let's go outside!" Jiang Lingxuan said.

Sun Muqing nodded, and together with Jiang Lingxuan, they jumped off the carriage and chased after the vengeful skeleton.

The night breeze also came from the carriage.

However, Ye Feng did not make a move.

The attack by the vengeful spirits and skeletons was a good opportunity for Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan to practice their skills, so Ye Feng naturally wanted to let them have some fun.

"The name 'Wraith Skeleton' is not quite accurate; it should be called 'Shadow Spirit Skeleton' instead."

"Those who don't know the truth all think that the vengeful spirits and skeletons are formed from the souls of people who died unjustly, but that's not actually the case. The vengeful spirits and skeletons are indeed related to people, but they are not formed from the souls of people who died unjustly. Instead, they are formed from human martial artists who died in places with heavy yin energy."

"Therefore, 'wandering skeleton' is more accurate than 'vengeful skeleton'."

Night Breeze spoke slowly and deliberately, offering guidance to Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

The martial artists not far away were also fighting against the vengeful spirits and skeletons.

As this large wave of mist swept in, there were a great many vengeful spirits and skeletons within it, at least several dozen.

However, these vengeful spirits and skeletons were too weak, only sixth-tier demonic beasts. So apart from causing some trouble for the guards at the beginning and killing a few people, the guards basically did not suffer any further casualties.

The vengeful spirits and skeletons scattered under the guards' attacks.

"Mr. Ye, Miss Sun, Miss Jiang, do you need any help?" Bai Muxue's voice came from the mist.

“No need, we can protect ourselves,” Sun Muqing replied.

Another vengeful skeleton attacked. Sun Muqing let out a delicate shout, and with a slight tremor of her longsword, more than a dozen sword energies shot out, instantly shattering the vengeful skeleton into pieces.

Jiang Lingxuan's attacks were also very sharp. Thousands of silver needles surrounded her, dancing around her like a dense school of fish, making her body shimmer and look quite beautiful.

"go!"

Jiang Lingxuan raised her hand and pointed, and a dense barrage of flying needles shot towards a vengeful skeleton not far away.

In just a moment, the vengeful skeleton was riddled with holes.

Suddenly, three vengeful skeletons appeared together.

Moreover, as soon as it appeared, the vengeful spirit skeleton opened its mouth wide, as if it were roaring.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan did not hear any sound, but they both felt extremely dizzy.

"Be careful, that's the innate ability of the vengeful spirit skeleton—the Vengeful Spirit's Howl," Night Wind warned.

After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "The Wraith Scream of the Wraith Skeletons requires them to open their mouths to unleash their innate divine power, so opening their mouths is their starting move, or pre-animation, for casting their innate divine power. The Wraith Scream spreads out in a fan shape, with an attack range of no more than fifty meters."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Sun Muqing shouted, "You reminded me too late!"

Night Wind said in a serious tone, "I won't always be there to help you, so you need to get used to relying on yourselves, not on me."

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan both nodded, becoming much more cautious during the fight and no longer displaying the same unbridled behavior as before.

Just then, Bai Muxue's scream suddenly rang out.

Bai Muxue is at the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, and is also the strongest and highest-level person in this caravan besides Ye Feng.

But now Bai Muxue let out a scream, which surprised Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

"Night Breeze, go and see what's going on. We're in Miss Bai's caravan, after all; we should help her when necessary," Sun Muqing said.

“But you…” Night Breeze hesitated.

"Don't worry, we'll protect ourselves. These vengeful spirits and skeletons can't hurt us at all. We just need to be careful of their shrieking screams during the fight," Sun Muqing said with a smile.

"Oh well."

The night wind nodded and disappeared into the mist, heading in the direction from which Bai Muxue's screams came.

In a short while, Ye Feng arrived in front of Bai Muxue.

Bai Muxue was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, her face pale and her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Meanwhile, the guards were besieging a vengeful spirit that was significantly larger than the other vengeful spirits.

Without a doubt, the larger vengeful skeleton is the king among this group of vengeful skeletons!

It seems that Bai Muxue was attacked by that vengeful skeleton king, which is why she screamed.

"Are you alright, Miss Bai?" Ye Feng asked.

Bai Muxue shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm not injured. I just didn't expect there to be a vengeful skeleton king hiding in the mist, which suddenly attacked me while I was defeating an ordinary vengeful skeleton. Moreover, that vengeful skeleton king had a different innate ability than the other vengeful skeletons."

"You've gained another innate supernatural ability?" Ye Feng asked again.

“That’s right. That vengeful skeleton king can not only scream, but also create fear. It can create a short-lived but terrifying memory that can evoke the deepest fears in a person’s heart,” Bai Muxue said, panting.

It seems that Bai Muxue's most terrifying memories were triggered by the vengeful skeleton king, which is why she let out a shrill scream.

"This should be a type of soul attack," Ye Feng said.

Just then, one of the guards let out a strange cry and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
