There is a layer in hell specifically for those who die with their eyes open, to prevent them from getting out and committing heinous crimes, thus adding another layer of sin.

Those who die with their eyes open naturally harbor great resentment, and spend all their time thinking about escaping to seek revenge. If they can't escape, they can only fight each other.

This brawl was spectacular; they went for the most terrifying and brutal possible.

Xu Yingting stood outside, watching as the head was twisted off and bounced on the ground like a ball, then thrown out to hit someone. The lecherous ghost's eyes glared several meters away, circling around a beautiful female ghost, before being swallowed whole by her.

Xu Yingting: "..."

Qi Yan and She Zhang commented: "The people below are still so unconcerned with details."

Xu Yingting turned his head stiffly, his face a little pale.

Is this simply a matter of being careless about details?!

Qi Yan patted him gently, "Don't worry, we'll be watching you tomorrow."

Xu Yingting felt a little nauseous.

This shock was different from what he usually saw; it was a shock from another world.

He always believed that everything could be explained by science, and that the reason why it couldn't be explained was because human technology had not yet developed to that stage.

Jiang Si never expected Xu Yingting to be a good fighter; her aim was simply to give him a heads-up so he wouldn't panic.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, we'll head back now. Let's rest up today and set off tomorrow," Jiang Si said.

Will I come to this place after I die?

Jiang Si frowned. Was this too much of a shock? She looked over and, apart from being a little nauseous, it wasn't too bad.

“You shouldn’t be the kind of person who can’t let go of their obsessions,” Jiang Si said tactfully.

"Does that mean everyone with a strong obsession comes to this place?" Xu Yingting asked.

"Not necessarily." Seeing that he seemed determined to get an answer, Jiang Si kindly said, "Most people don't actually have such strong obsessions. When a person dies, the lamp goes out. It not only means that people leave and the tea cools down, but also that all love, hate and grudges vanish like smoke."

Otherwise, things would have been in chaos long ago.

Xu Yingting seemed to be deep in thought.

Jiang Si didn't mind and pulled him back.

When Xu Yingting returned to the human world, he found that it was already completely dark, even though they had only been down there for a short while.

“Since they are two different worlds, the passage of time must also be different,” Jiang Si explained.

Back at the hotel, Gu Ming and Chen Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it's quite disheartening to see two perfectly healthy people vanish without a trace.

Xu Yingting was very quiet, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Jiang Si told him to go back and get some rest.

Xu Yingting took a few steps, then turned back and asked, "Master Jiang, is there anything else I need to prepare?"

Jiang Si looked him up and down, then said, "Keep your yang energy from leaking out."

She needs his extreme yang energy.

Xu Yingting was puzzled for a moment: "What is yang energy?"

She Zhang scoffed, "You can't be that innocent, can you? Of course, I'm telling you not to mate with people!" She Zhang was a snake, so he spoke very bluntly.

Xu Yingting: "..."

All his worries vanished the moment those two words struck him like a thunderbolt.

Who would be in the mood for this at a time like this?!

The sky was dark, and his expression was not clear. Xu Yingting responded with a low "hmm" and walked back with unusually difficult steps.

The Suohun'ao they visited was nearly 30 kilometers from the camp, and the entire route was mountainous and very difficult to traverse; 90% of the journey had to be done on foot.

Considering their speed, they planned to set off after lunch.

Just before they were about to leave, Jiang Si grabbed Xu Yingting, pulled out a brush from somewhere, and began to draw on Xu Yingting's body in the air.

"What's this?"

"It's a defensive spell. You're just an ordinary person and shouldn't be involved in these things, so I definitely have to protect you."

Xu Yingting opened his mouth as if to say something.

Jiang Si interrupted him, "Everyone has their own expertise."

Gu Ming and Chen Chuan looked at Jiang Si, somewhat relieved but still solemn: "Please, Master Jiang, please bring them back."

"And the rest of them."

Everyone present understood what he meant, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.

Several comrades have already sacrificed their lives, but they can't even collect their bodies.

Jiang Si said, "I'll try my best."

When no one was around, She Zhang climbed out of Jiang Si's pocket, transformed into a handsome young man, and followed them on their journey.

As for Qi Yan, he felt that since he was small and had short legs, it was better for him to lie down so as not to hold his legs back.

Xu Yingting still finds it somewhat cringe-worthy when he sees it again.

Why is such a handsome young man dressed like this?

Despite his current rough appearance, Xu Yingting, a wealthy young man, is a refined gentleman at home.

They focused on their journey; for Xu Yingting, this distance was nothing during his usual training exercises.

They traveled in silence and soon arrived at Soul Locking Pass.

The mountains on both sides of Suohun Pass are so towering that it can feel suffocating. After nightfall, before the moon has reached its zenith, it is so dark that you can't even see your own hand without a flashlight.

Xu Yingting: "Master Jiang, what should we do now?"

The thought of his comrades being killed by some unknown creature in the forest filled him with a surge of heroic spirit, making him yearn to rush into battle immediately.

“Don’t rush,” Jiang Si said, then she took out an ordinary-looking incense stick from her pocket and said to Xu Yingting, “Keep your mind free of distractions, and then light this incense stick with the fire of your heart.”

Xu Yingting: "??"

He certainly has a fiery temper.

He looked troubled. "Master Jiang, I have never studied Taoist arts."

Jiang Si glanced at him and said, "This has nothing to do with whether you've studied it or not."
