Everyone looked around, and there was indeed no one there. Since they came in, apart from seeing the Twin Fiends at the entrance, there had been no one else. Nangong Yu suddenly felt that the surroundings were eerie, and moved closer to Xuan Chi. "I feel like this place is not safe. What should I do? I'm a little scared."
Nangong Yu shrank back slightly. Shangguan Xi looked at him with annoyance. With his timid appearance, how could he possibly leave a good impression on Xu Yuehuai? It was simply a pipe dream. She rubbed her forehead and looked at Nangong Yu, saying in an unfriendly tone, "Look at the way you are! Stand properly, don't be all crooked!"
When Shangguan Xi shouted, Nangong Yu stood up obediently, glanced at her face, pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of stubbornness.
Shangguan Xi couldn't even speak.
Xu Yuehua carefully observed her surroundings, placed her hands in front of her, formed a hand seal, and began to sense any living beings still present. But what she found startled her. She opened her eyes, and the hand seals she formed became incorrect.
Standing next to Xu Yuehuai, Ying Ziping was observing her condition. Seeing her like this, he asked with concern, "What's wrong? What did you just see?"
Everyone turned to look at Xu Yuehuai, their eyes filled with concern. Xu Yuehuai calmed herself down and looked around, saying, "There are people everywhere here."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu felt even more uneasy. He immediately dropped his pretense and pressed himself against Xuan Chi, saying, "See? I told you, things aren't safe around here, and you still didn't believe me!"
"Fu Ziyi! My dear junior brother Fu Ziyi, aren't you a ghost cultivator? Quickly get these unclean things away!" Nangong Yu said aggrievedly.
These things that are invisible and intangible, yet truly exist, are the most terrifying, or perhaps they represent the earliest fear people have of ghosts and spirits.
Xu Yuehuai was also somewhat incredulous. The image that had just appeared in her mind lingered: pairs of lifeless eyes staring at them, surrounding them.
The view stretched as far as the eye could see, and this scene was arguably the most shocking sight Xu Yuehuai had ever witnessed in all the time she had been here.
Fu Ziyi found Nangong Yu annoying and glanced at him impatiently, "Can you shut up? You're so noisy."
Despite uttering words of disdain, their bodies betrayed them as they began forming hand seals. After a complex gesture, things that hadn't been visible before suddenly appeared, with swirling circles of ghosts floating in the air surrounding them.
Shi Mu shuddered in fright and hugged Xuan Chi together with Nangong Yu.
Xuan Chi tried to reach out and pull them apart, but found that he couldn't even move his hands. He looked helplessly at the people clinging to him and said, "Could you let me go first? I have something to say."
"No, no, no one but you would let us hold you like this. What would we do if we let go of you? Don't go! Just say what you have to say. Don't worry, the two of us will definitely not bother you or affect you." Nangong Yu strongly opposed letting go of Xuan Chi and was determined to do so.
Left with no other choice, Xuan Chi could only let the two of them hug him, remaining silent with a hint of speechlessness in his eyes.
Xu Yuehuai looked at the ghosts without showing any fear. Instead, she was more curious and wary. The sudden appearance of so many ghosts was not necessarily a good thing.
On the highest rooftop, the Twin Demons were watching them. The woman looked at them with excitement, finding them very interesting; she hadn't met such interesting people in a long time.
"I must keep them with me, they are simply a treasure!" Bai Sha said excitedly.
These two were named White Fiend and Black Fiend. Everyone felt their names were a bit perfunctory, but that wasn't the point. White Fiend was lively and talkative, and liked to do mischievous pranks. Black Fiend was taciturn, but ruthless. He was fine when he didn't act, but once he did, someone would inevitably die.
Black Demon glanced at her and said the truth, "They won't stay."
"Why are you spouting such blunt truths? I hate listening to you talk. Everyone else flatters me, but you're the only one who says things I don't like," Bai Sha said, pouting.
Hei Sha suddenly changed the subject, saying, "That woman in the blue clothes has the aura of a divine artifact on her."
Bai Sha looked over and saw that the person was none other than Xu Yuehuai, whom she had said she wanted.
“You have a good eye, just like me. I also think she’s extraordinary.” Bai Sha didn’t care about any divine artifacts. The fact that Xu Yuehuai possessed a divine artifact meant that she was very strong. She was the first to discover such a strong person, and such an amazing thing naturally had to be mentioned and shown off.
Black Demon: "..." I didn't know that was what I meant.
...
"Alright, look at you. These things are just for scaring people. I bet the person behind this is trying to scare people like you. After all, they only achieve their goal and have a sense of accomplishment when someone is frightened." As Fu Ziyi said the last part, his gaze kept glancing at Nangong Yu, his eyes full of undisguised sarcasm. Nangong Yu felt like he had been verbally attacked for no reason, and for a moment, he really wanted to curse.
Fu Ziyi stood at the front, and a flute suddenly appeared in his hand. The flute looked very familiar; Xu Yuehuai remembered seeing Fu Ziyi use it before. He put the flute to his lips and played a few rhythms. The group of ghosts in front of him began to make way for them.
Nangong Yu watched this scene in surprise, his eyes sparkling. "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. Why didn't you show off before?"
Baili Xiuwen glanced at Nangong Yu and mentally labeled him as someone who was a tickle to Fu Ziyi.
Fu Ziyi ignored him and walked in front, leading them out of the place.
After stepping out of the ghost circle, Nangong Yu felt that his body temperature still hadn't returned. He shivered twice. "Why do I still feel so cold? Are there still unclean things around here?"
“Yes, that unclean thing is clinging to you, right above your head!” Fu Ziyi said sarcastically, his eyes filled with disgust.
Once outside, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, transforming from a deserted place into a bustling, lively scene.
"Was that an illusion just now?" Xu Yuehua frowned slightly, looking at the thing in front of her, her expression not good.
When the people around saw them come in, they all looked at them with curiosity in their eyes.
