In the pitch-black forest, a chilling atmosphere filled the air, and a fierce wind howled.
Lightning flashed intermittently among the dense, towering branches of the old trees overhead.
The air temperature was getting lower and lower, and it was icy cold.
That chilling sensation seemed to penetrate the skin and bones, freezing everyone's blood.
"So cold...so cold..."
"Something's not right! With our cultivation level and physical strength, we're no longer afraid of normal weather changes. There's something else in the air!"
"Have we encountered something strange?"
Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered and fell silent.
Everyone was awakened by their companion's unintentional guess.
The current scene, environment, and temperature are beyond the normal range.
That could only be a bizarre event.
These people are all very young, and they were all born in a relatively stable era.
They have not experienced the terrifying catastrophes and war dangers that the world encountered during its evolution and upgrading.
But I've heard some things about it.
It seems that more than a thousand years ago, or even two thousand years ago, the world experienced a mysterious era that lasted for five hundred years.
That is when the spiritual energy reaches its most abundant peak after the various small worlds merge together.
A mysterious resurgence.
More and more bizarre creatures are vying for control of this world, alongside humans, demons, zombie humans, mutated plants and animals, and various strange beasts.
Fortunately, it became clear later that the three races of humans, demons, and beasts won.
Those mysteries were either suppressed or disappeared.
There is a legend that those disappearing horrors and monsters were taken away by the underworld officials and returned to where they belonged.
But no one knows exactly what happened.
All that is known is that later all the mystery disappeared, and human order improved.
The struggle for supremacy among heroes eventually evolved into a tripartite balance of power consisting of five realms, seven domains, and nine central alliances.
Then comes the most dangerous and terrifying place, the desolate land that no one dares to approach and no force dares to conquer.
It's not that the world has truly lost all supernatural elements since the end of the mysterious era more than a thousand years ago.
However, they are now extremely rare, and they all exist in the dark, no longer appearing openly.
Most of them are practitioners of metaphysics, raising ghosts, cultivating evil spirits for their own use, etc.
But all of these are within a controllable range.
Therefore, this strange incident today is very likely being orchestrated by someone behind the scenes...
Bai Si and the others reported their guesses to Jin Shangyue.
Jin Shangyue smiled faintly, but said nothing.
They simply walked slowly and deliberately in the darkness.
His all-black attire seemed to blend seamlessly into the darkness of the night.
It's hard to tell which one is the real mystery.
I don't know how long I walked, but the surroundings were always dark and eerie, with gusts of cold wind blowing, but there was nothing strange or dangerous.
Until Jin Shangyue and her group walked out of the woods.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
A hundred meters ahead, a brightly lit area was visible.
It wasn't the kind of brightly lit city, but the kind of brightly lit ancient city where every household hung lanterns and candles.
The city was filled with the light of torches and candles, and the shadows of people were numerous. From a distance, it looked incredibly lively.
Many people rubbed their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating.
"How could such a large ancient city appear here?"
"Could it be a mirage?"
"Could we have really encountered one of those legendary mysterious events?"
"Should I go or not?"
Jin Shangyue stepped out from the crowd, stood at the front, looked at the city gate in the distance, and chuckled.
"Go, why wouldn't you go?"
"Isn't it wonderful that you can immerse yourselves in an ancient city and take a tour?"
Subordinates: ...
Master, we are easily frightened, please don't scare us!
This kind of tourism can kill people!
Despite their inner turmoil and complaints, no one dared to voice a word of rebuttal.
Anyway, they are their master's people, and they will do whatever their master says.
Even if it costs them their lives, they will go forward without hesitation!
Moreover, for some inexplicable reason, everyone had a special belief.
It seems that as long as their master is around, they will not die, no matter what happens to them.
When Jin Shangyue was about to leave, she took the beast hordes she had conquered into the secret realm.
Now there is only Jin Shangyue and her more than three thousand subordinates.
Of course, things lying on the clothes don't count.
Jin Shangyue walked step by step toward the city gate and slowly asked her subordinates behind her.
"Want to experience what it's like to kill a ghost?"
Everyone: !!!
Is this some kind of high-energy content?!
Despite the horror, everyone unanimously exclaimed, "Yes!"
After all, they had never experienced it before.
Putting aside their fear, they were genuinely excited and curious...
Upon hearing this, Jin Shangyue searched her soul space and found a space pouch filled with all sorts of malevolent and supernatural objects.
He threw it to Bai Si.
"You can each take a share of what's inside, and use it to kill the monsters."
Bai Si's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened his spatial pouch, where he saw a mountain of items emanating a terrifying aura of bloodlust.
A bloodstained boning knife, a lighter emitting black smoke, a rusty butcher's knife, a seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary hemp rope, and so on...
There were even several black coffins dripping blood, and a series of eerie and terrifying rag dolls...
In short, there were countless strange and unusual items.
But at first glance, Bai Si felt a sense of dread, gloom, and bloodshed.
