Chapter 131: The Ghost

"I still remember this incident very clearly. I remember that the beloved disciple of Fairy Yun Fei from Tianwen Academy had a rift with her childhood sweetheart, with whom she had been engaged, because of that Saint."

"That male cultivator was a man who refused to give in. He was deeply devoted and loyal, but the saint messed things up and the engagement could not be fulfilled. In order to preserve the reputation of his beloved girl, he blew himself up."

"Lanzhai was also hated by Tianwen Academy because of this incident. Fairy Yunfei only had one beloved disciple, and the voices of the crusade were quite loud at that time."

After Jun Chao finished speaking, Bo Lou also spoke up, "I also remembered that Tianwen Academy has always been kind to others, and everyone in the academy is friendly. But these nerds are only concerned with studying formations and talismans, and never get involved in any disputes between the immortals and demons. But because of that incident, those bookish students are all mad."

"Is that girl still not over the heartbreak?"

Jun Chao nodded, "Yes, the injury was pretty serious back then, and I heard it's getting worse in recent years."

He Cen, a soft-hearted little baby, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy when he heard this. "The sister must be very upset. She must regret why she didn't trust the man more. Now the two of them are separated forever. She must be holding a grudge in her heart."

"What about the saint?"

Jun Chao spoke softly, "She died a long time ago. She broke up more than just this couple. She specifically targeted those noble families and offended many people. Although there are many Taoist couples in the cultivation world who are just fake marriages, everyone wants to save face. Doing this makes everyone lose face, so how can they let her go?"

"The Lan Village was a flash in the pan back then, and it produced quite a few talented Gu cultivators. Unfortunately, they either had bad intentions or were dragged down by their own people. In any case, few of them had a good ending."

"After the incident was over, some elderly, weak, women and children may have escaped, and no one knows where they are hiding to survive."

He Cen was filled with emotion after hearing this. "Ah - there are so many touching stories. Let's go and take a look. I'm quite interested in Gu Xiu."

The three masters nodded. It just so happened that Lanzhai was not too far from Paradise City. It would only take the four of them half a day to get there.

Because there were many Boar cultivators in Lanzhai, those people were sinister and had great abilities in trapping Boars, making it hard for many people to guard against them. Many cultivators in the cultivation world suffered a lot from them, so after they were wiped out, they sealed off that place.

I was afraid that some strange insects would come out, and then I would get caught by accident.

Over time, it was gradually abandoned.

The outside looks quite dilapidated. The dragon cultivators are good at using dragon poison, so there are often poisonous swamps spreading around Lanzhai. Some corpses abandoned here have also mutated after being soaked for many years.

Wen Qing frowned as soon as he arrived.

After all, he was made into a medicine man in his past, and his methods were somewhat similar to those of the Gu Xiu who used Gu to make poison. This scene made him very uncomfortable, and the air pressure around him dropped a lot.

He Cen was quite perceptive and immediately sensed his displeasure. He reached out and pulled his hand, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Qing calmed down and said, "It's okay, let's go take a look."

He usually doesn't talk much, but today he seems to talk even less, and he doesn't look very happy. He Cen blinked and said nothing more, but he talked to Jun Chaoshihai for a while, "Wen Qing, do you dislike this place?"

"What happened before?"

Jun Chao said calmly, "He never said it, but I guess it may have something to do with his background. Outsiders don't know about this kind of thing, so don't make random guesses. Everyone has secrets, so don't ask too many questions, baby."

He Cen was also obedient. He understood what Jun Chao said and said, "Okay~ I won't ask anymore."

The four of them entered Lanzhai. The environment here was indeed terrible. Who knows what was buried in those swamps, and they were bubbling around, which was scary to look at.

He Cen was originally quite lively and jumping around, but when he saw the environment, he felt it was not suitable to make a noise, so he walked much more calmly.

There was no one near Lanzhai, and I didn't see any monks along the way.

There were some mass graves that had been chopped apart by the corpses thrown over, leaving them in a state of disarray, with people crawling about in the darkness.

Bo Lou and Wen Qing both disliked this place. "Can there be anything good around here?"

He Cen couldn't say for sure, "This thing is just a gut feeling."

Jun Chao glanced at the two of them and said, "You should be patient with He He. He has never made a mistake before."

Bo Lou snorted coldly, "I didn't say I wouldn't accompany you. It's not that the environment is bad, don't you want my precious disciple to suffer?"

It was a village that was neither big nor small. He Cen strolled around it and found that the original houses had all decayed because they were all wooden buildings. There were many ants and severe moisture in this place, so the damage was severe.

He took a few looks and felt that there was nothing worth cherishing, so he raised his hand and activated his spiritual power to tear down everything and raze the place to the ground.

As a result, after he had only moved a few times, an old man and a young girl ran out from the corner in panic. The old woman was about sixty years old, looked very old, and was hunched over and had difficulty moving. She was helped out by the young girl beside her and escaped the disaster.

If it had been a little later, the falling beam might have fallen on them.

Several people looked confused, wondering how come there were people living in this place?

Looking from a distance, the girl had a plump and charming figure. Although she was wearing ordinary ethnic minority clothing, her face was very beautiful. She was really good-looking and did not look like someone who could be raised in a small place.

Jun Chao and the other two also looked serious. He Cen walked over and was about to ask the two of them what was going on.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar electronic voice, [Congratulations to the host, you have found the target of the strategy: the Sword Spirit of the Divine Sword, please gain his favor and complete the strategy.]

He Cen: ???

Damn, again?

Is your female guide haunting you?

He Cen's footsteps were fixed on the spot, and Jun Chao and the other two also hurried over.

Obviously everyone heard that electronic sound.

Then, three cold mechanical sounds rang out in succession.

[Congratulations to the host, you have found the target of the strategy: Immortal Yanfang. Please gain his favor and complete the strategy. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you have found the target of the strategy: Jidao Demon Lord, please gain his favor and complete the strategy. ]

[Congratulations to the host, you have found the target of the strategy: the ghost king of the underworld. Please gain his favor and complete the strategy. ]

…

Bo Lou was a little overwhelmed with emotions at the time. He had just killed one, and here came another. Is the world crowded with female strategy hunters?

Before the four of them could get angry and start fighting, the young lady standing opposite them looked at Hecen shyly, "System, can I only capture the sword spirit? He looks so cute~"

"Such a beautiful boy must be suitable for being teased and licked this and that..."

Tsuruzen: Oh, no—

Why are you so yellow, big socks?

What are you thinking about in broad daylight!
