Fortunately, the voice came out in time. Ling Wangqing paused when he heard it and almost killed another one with his sword. Although he was not killed in the end, the ghost was unable to fight back.
Ling Wangqing held the rag-like soulless ghost in one hand and walked around outside the city. After confirming that there were no other evil spirits, he flew into the city gate and slowly walked back to the inn.
Shen Wuyou followed closely behind, although his speed was a bit slow, but fortunately he didn't have to suffer from the pain of waist tightening. As for expecting any gentlemanly demeanor?
Oh, that's impossible. She had already defined Ling Wangqing in her heart: indifferent, cold, and ruthless. How could he have any compassion for women? Not to mention the gentle and elegant gentlemanly demeanor.
Does she really like such a person?
This was the third time she'd asked him that question today, but the answer was always the same. It wasn't the answer in her heart, but the answer in her body. Whenever she was close to him, she felt a refreshing sense of well-being, an inexplicable closeness she had never felt with anyone else.
Including the water-attributed An Lanqing. As a plant demon with a natural affinity for water, she only had a casual interest in water-attributed masters like An Lanqing, thinking they were dispensable. Furthermore, he was Yu Mo's fiancé, which made her even less interested and she decided to keep her distance.
So, her body told her that she still liked this kind of person, right?
But she really doesn't have a masochistic tendency...
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.
But I have to say, in terms of martial arts and appearance, he is handsome, beautiful, talented, outstanding, and indeed worthy of love. Is this what I like?
This is too superficial...
Shen Wuyou suddenly felt disgusted with herself. While she was spitting, she quickened her pace to catch up with the Yuebai figure in front of her. When she finished complaining, she was already standing in the inn, waiting for the arrival of the other four people.
The cowering ghosts thrown to the ground were now tightly bound by blue chains transformed from spiritual energy. Shen Wuyou was curious and moved closer to take a look. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but if he hadn't looked, his heart would have trembled with fear.
Under the tattered black cloak, there was a face that seemed to be made up of a mass of black fog. It had no substance and no facial features. If you looked closely, you could see the black fog surging on the face. It was so scary!
"Hiss~"
She took a step back in shock, unconsciously taking a breath of cold air. Just when she was about to ask if the people of the ghost tribe looked so terrifying, a light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly blurted out:
It has no facial features and no teeth, so how can it bite people's necks and suck their blood, flesh and essence?
However, she didn't think about this question for long, because Bai Yumo and the others came back.
Coincidentally, they were also holding a tied-up ghost in their hands, but compared to Ling Wangqing's, it was obvious that theirs was more manic and unwilling. He struggled hard, and his face without any facial features emitted bursts of roars, as if he wanted to tear everyone to pieces. He had no awareness of being a captive at all.
"You caught one too? But it seems like it's not convinced..."
"Of course I'm not convinced. After all, it's a first-level Xuan-level ghost, and there are so many of them, more than ten times our number. If the four of us hadn't dug a pit for them to jump into, we might not have been able to catch them alive."
Bai Yumo, obviously a little tired, walked over and sat down, poured a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp. Then she seemed to come back to her spirits and explained aloud.
Shen Wuyu's eyes were focused on the restless ghost just now. He did not take a close look at the situation of these four people. He just thought that they looked normal and thought that there was nothing serious.
Now, taking a quick look, one can see that all four of them have injuries of varying degrees, and their neat attire is a little messy.
"You are injured!"
She didn't know how sharp the ghosts' claws were, but just by looking at the black air emanating from those sharp, hard nails, she could imagine how dangerous they were. She also wondered if they were poisoned...
Bai Yumo heard her low cry and smiled: "It's nothing, I took the detoxification pill a long time ago, and the remaining wounds will probably heal in two or three days."
Suddenly, he sensed a change in Shen Wuyou's aura, so he abruptly asked, "Have you been promoted again?"
Shen Wuyou nodded: "Yes, two levels, now it is the sixth level of the Yellow Rank."
"...So fast." Bai Yumo was at a loss for words. Leveling up four times in two days—was that real? But the fact was right before her eyes, and she couldn't help but believe it.
But this does illustrate one thing:
"So, the reason why Wuyou advanced two levels last night was definitely not because of absorbing human essence. There were no casualties today, and she was able to directly reach the sixth level of the Yellow Rank. This is enough to prove that she was not lying." It's just that the speed of cultivation is really astonishingly fast.
Bai Yumo's words were also heard by the other people, but now the city has been searched thoroughly inside and outside the city. Apart from these ghost people who are lurking again with unknown intentions, there are no other demon people.
The faint demonic aura on the person who died after his essence was sucked dry does exist. Ghosts do not have the aura of demons, so Shen Wuyou is still the most suspicious.
Besides, yesterday she happened to hear someone slandering her, and that person ended up dead; today Ling Wangqing was watching her the whole time, giving her no chance to cause trouble, and coincidentally, no one was injured...
This is enough to say...
Thinking of this, everyone fell into a strange silence.
At this moment, Yan Qingli, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up and analyzed, "There are only half-formed ghosts inside and outside the city, without facial features or fangs. However, the deceased had two deep bite holes in his neck, which proves that it wasn't done by ghosts... But if it wasn't ghosts, who else could it be..."
"Who else could it be?!"
Long Aojun irritably pulled out a stool and sat down, crossing his legs. He looked disdainful and contemptuous, like a rebellious eagle, and shouted impatiently:
"I just don't understand! She's the only demon in the whole city who has the time, the motivation, the ability, and two teeth!
"The speed of cultivation is astonishing. Who knows if he didn't digest all the essence he absorbed last night, and he digested the rest today, which led to his two-level advancement? Otherwise, who else have you seen who could advance four levels in two days? What on earth are you thinking with such obvious evidence?!"
Yan Qingli frowned slightly upon hearing this and said softly, "Don't say that. Wu You is not that kind of person..."
"What do you mean she's not that kind of person?! She's not even a human being now!" His attitude towards Yan Qingli had indeed improved a lot, but he still seemed to be very angry, and said with a serious face:
"Li'er, I know you two are good friends, very good friends, but you have to know that you can only know a person's face and not their heart! Besides, how long has it been since you last saw each other? Are you so sure that she is still the same person now?"
