Chapter 925 is a provocation
Upon seeing the situation in the corridor, Ye Wanxi and her companion's expressions darkened slightly, and Tong Kaibin, who was leading the way, also looked surprised: "It's only been a few days, and it's already turned out like this."
After saying that, Tong Kaibin refused to take another step forward. He swayed and floated behind Ye Wanxi and the other person, looking like a coward who said, "You guys go ahead, I'll retreat first."
Ye Wanxi and the other person: "..." Can't you be a little more self-aware as ghosts? Hiding behind people at a time like this, what's so cowardly about that?
Seemingly understanding the disdain in Ye Wanxi and the other woman's glances, Tong Kaibin awkwardly pursed his lips and said, "It's not that I'm a coward, but even standing here, I feel like it's eerie inside, like something is baring its fangs and claws, trying to swallow me whole. If I really went in with you, we might really be eaten to bits!"
"I've already suffered enough by dying so inexplicably, but if I were to have my soul scattered, it would be beyond description."
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow: "Do you think there's something inside that wants to devour you?"
"Yes! I can't explain why, but I just feel that as long as I get close to this side and touch that black stuff, I'll be grabbed. It's like a magnet attracting an iron block, there's a huge force pulling me, trying to pull me over."
In fact, after the man in black left, Tong Kaibin was quite curious about the commotion inside the house and tried to get closer to take a look.
But getting close almost ripped his soul apart and nearly scared him out of his wits. After that, he never dared to go near that place again.
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she could roughly guess what kind of formation was set up here.
She had already figured it out, and Feng Tianyu naturally guessed it as well: "It seems that guy is planning to use this as a base to turn this entire city into a ghost town."
"Such a rebellious act will surely be punished."
"This isn't the first time he's done something like this."
Ye Wanxi was slightly taken aback. Yes, this wasn't the first time he had done something like this. If they hadn't discovered the previous water town early, the other party would probably have already achieved their goal and wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble to scheme for this place.
Ye Wanxi was just a little puzzled. They had already left the Water Town incident, so the other party should already have some understanding of their abilities.
This place is their permanent residence, and Ye Wanxi and her companions will be the first to notice any disturbance.
If the other side really wanted to create a ghost town for their own use, they could easily choose a place extremely far away from them, to prevent them from discovering it again and ruining their plans.
Why did he choose this place of all places? Did he somehow believe that the most dangerous place was the safest place?
Ye Wanxi was puzzled when she suddenly heard Feng Tianyu ask, "I was wondering why he chose to make his move here?"
"Um."
"He's provoking us."
"Provocation?" Ye Wanxi's eyes widened suddenly, unable to understand why the other party would make such a fuss just to... provoke them?
"If we hadn't accidentally discovered the unusual yin energy on those two people, the commotion here should have erupted a few days later."
A few days is enough time for the formation here to grow stronger. Even if they don't discover it, it will definitely alert Xiao Jihui and his group.
This would be discovered anywhere, and he and his junior sister certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
Since that's the case, it doesn't matter where you put it. Just dumping it at their doorstep might even better satisfy their perverse sense of humor.
However, the other party probably didn't expect that before the formation here could even be activated, they had already noticed something was wrong and come looking for them.
"Perhaps even God disapproved of their actions, which is why He sent someone to remind us."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi glanced at Feng Tianyu in surprise, as if astonished that her senior brother had also learned... Just kidding.
"Hey, you guys have been talking for so long, is there any way to get rid of this black gas? I think it's about to overflow onto our area."
Ye Wanxi and the other looked closely, and sure enough, the black mist that had been hovering at the edge of the corridor suddenly surged up and rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed.
"Are they trying to devour us and use us as nourishment?"
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.
She and her senior brother were both Taoist practitioners with accumulated merit, so logically these ghosts and demons should be most afraid of them.
But these black energies seemed unafraid of the golden light of merit emanating from them, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at them, as if they wanted to devour them and turn them into their own.
Seeing the black aura double in size as it surged forward, Tong Kaibin screamed in terror.
Then it was seen that Ye Wanxi and the other person suddenly had two long swords in their hands. With a flash of sword light, the black aura was instantly split in two.
With a scream, a figure whose face was not clearly visible was cleaved in two!
Tong Kaibin: "!!!"
"Who...who are you people? How come you're even less than human than me...? Has the world become so fantastical?"
Ye Wanxi was amused by the boy's slowness: "If we were really ordinary people, would we have been able to catch you? Would we have dared to come down here alone with you and help you deliver vegetables?"
Tong Kaibin choked and shut his mouth timidly.
After shattering the ghostly figure, Ye Wanxi did not stop her actions. She followed Feng Tianyu forward, slashing down with her sword, while screams filled the air.
Hearing this, Tong Kaibin felt his soul almost become transparent. He secretly rejoiced that the two ruthless men had shown mercy when they saw him outside the ship, only binding him with silk threads instead of stabbing him directly with a sword. Otherwise, he would probably be air by now!
The room where Tong Kaibin and the others were imprisoned was located at the end of the corridor. It was a cramped storage room, probably less than fifteen square meters.
With 28 people crammed inside, there wasn't even enough room to lie down or squat, let alone find a comfortable spot. You can imagine how cramped it was.
No wonder that a group of people left inside for several days eventually suffocated to death.
After discovering the situation in the room, Lao Wang quickly instructed the crew to dispose of the bodies and clean up all traces in the cabin.
But when Tong Kaibin reached the door, he discovered that the room had been restored to the scene before their deaths.
Since they died of suffocation, their deaths were naturally gruesome. Even Tong Kaibin, as an observer, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and gasp at the sight.
But what truly surprised him was that sitting atop this horrific pile of corpses was the girl who had once run away with him!
Unlike the disheveled and broken state he had seen from afar when the man in black cast a spell and chained her up, she looked completely different.
After several days, she was still locked up, but her originally tattered body had become completely intact, and from a distance, she looked just like a living person!
