Lin Xi asked, "Which one?"
Ling Xiao scratched his head. "It's a little hard to tell."
The corpse was covered in scratches all over its body, with no intact skin. Its face was a gruesome sight, with its nose cut off and its eyes gouged out, leaving only two empty, bloody holes.
Lin Xi glanced at it and then looked away, beckoning towards the door, "Xiao Heng, come and take a look."
Ji Heng was terrified.
When a powerful figure calls Xiao Heng so gently, it's definitely not a good sign.
But he had no choice but to go, so he slowly moved his little feet, saying, "I'm coming, I'm coming soon."
They moved at a tortoise-like pace, and it was unclear how long they would have gone.
Yun Yan couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed Yun Yan by the collar and strode forward, saying, "Grandmaster, I've brought him here."
Lin Xi pointed to a lump on the ground, "Xiao Heng, tell me, which of your roommates is this?"
A blood-red scene unfolded before his eyes. Ji Heng froze on the spot, his voice trembling with fear, "Holy crap! I don't know him, I really don't know him. I've only met my new roommate three times."
Lin Xi rubbed her temples. "What use are you?"
Ji Heng admitted defeat, "I'm really useless, I'm crying."
"I wasn't really counting on you." Lin Xi tossed down a talisman.
The yellow talisman gradually grew larger, covering the entire corpse.
Yun Yan looked up. "Grandmaster, aren't we going to take the body back for investigation?"
"No need to investigate anymore, the problem lies in the haunted house." Lin Xi said calmly, "This person is already dead, let's go in and rescue the other three."
"Go in?" Yun Yan understood immediately. "Is there a formation here?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "It's not an array, it's a ghost realm."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan and Ling Xiao were both shocked.
"Ghostland?!!"
Ji Heng looked completely bewildered. "What is a ghost realm?"
Lin Xi said calmly, "The space created by the Ghost King has no distinction between day and night. It is a world of its own, isolated from the outside world. It is commonly known as a high-level formation and is generally difficult to detect."
Yun Yan added, "Unless the Ghost Realm opens automatically, or its power surpasses that of the Ghost Realm."
"Little Grandmaster, just how strong are you?"
The three of them turned to look at Lin Xi, who shrugged. "I don't know either, that's not the point."
Ling Xiao looked around. "Where's the entrance?"
Lin Xi looked up. "The spot where the body fell down."
Lingxiao is invisible and intangible.
The ghost realm is invisible, formless, colorless, and odorless.
The Ghost King is a legendary creature whose wrath can cause corpses to scatter for miles.
How could something like this appear in Yaskawa?
Ling Xiao was extremely anxious. "Grandmaster, should we go up the mountain to ask Master and my senior uncles for help?"
"By the time the old man arrives, it'll be too late." Lin Xi gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips. "It's just a ghost realm; I'll lead you in!"
In an instant, the air seemed to materialize, violently churning, and a gash was torn in two.
A strange, yin energy surged out, and Yun Yan and Ling Xiao instinctively stepped back.
Ji Heng reacted quickly and retreated as well.
Novices must always pay attention to the people around them and follow their lead, or they will suffer a terrible fate.
Lin Xi's eyes sharpened, "The aura of fragments!!"
Last time it was a thousand-year-old corpse, this time it's a ghost king; the commotion caused by the fragments is getting bigger and bigger.
We must go in; the fragments must not fall into the hands of the mysterious organization.
Lin Xi instructed, "Hold hands and don't get separated."
Getting separated in the ghost realm is extremely dangerous; one careless move and you could lose your life.
Ling Xiao and Yun Yan understood this principle and immediately made a decision: protecting ordinary people was their duty.
The two men sandwiched Ji Heng between them, gripping his wrists tightly.
Ji Heng obediently accepted, holding one person's hand with each hand.
With two big brothers protecting me, I have nothing to fear anymore.
The question is, who will go and pull the young master?
Ling Xiao urged, "Yunyun, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go, don't keep our little grandmaster waiting."
Yun Yan's face turned bright red. "Don't mention that name!"
Ji Heng teased, "Oh ho, so the aloof guy's real name is Yunyun..."
Yun Yan pressed down hard, his face expressionless.
Ji Heng's hand was almost broken, and he quickly begged for mercy, "Brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. If you won't go, I'll go and pull the big boss away."
Yun Yan gave him a cold glance, then reached out and grabbed Lin Xi's sleeve. "Little Grandmaster, we're done."
Lin Xi stood in front, and the three of them stood behind her hand in hand, like a little hen leading three chicks.
"Let's go."
Ji Heng warned, "Brothers, hold on tight! Don't pull it off! No!!"
A beam of white light descended from above, and the four of them vanished from their spot.
...
At this moment, outside the haunted house.
The young woman finished packing her things and was about to go home when she bumped into a monk.
It radiates a soft light and has an aura of compassion.
At first glance, what a handsome monk.
At first glance, I couldn't make out what it looked like, which was strange.
The young woman craned her neck and boldly approached, "Who are you? My family doesn't run a restaurant, we don't have any food, we're begging for alms from the wooden bucket rice next door."
Shi Kong clasped his hands together and asked, "Benefactor, may we enter your haunted house?"
"us?"
The young lady had been focused on the handsome monk when she noticed the three people behind her.
A man in black, a man in blue, and a man in purple.
The person in purple pulled down their hat, revealing a pair of violet eyes that were both beautiful and eerie.
The young woman grabbed her bag and quickly slipped away, saying, "Go on, go on."
Shi Kong said, "Thank you."
Robland, the man in purple, crossed his arms and snorted in dissatisfaction, "Please get this straight, we're the bad guys, why don't we just barge in?"
Shi Kong maintained his smile, "Trespassing is illegal."
Robland rolled his eyes. "You're sick! Blackie, let's go."
