The countless ghosts melted away instantly, like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, leaving not even a trace.
In the blink of an eye, the Nightmare Beast devoured all the white mist left after the dissipation of the ghosts.
The pervasive chill and deathly aura were swept away, and the temperature even rose a few degrees.
This bizarre and devastating scene left Huang Ya and Su Peng, who were both eerie ghosts, completely stunned!
This was completely beyond their understanding of the Awakened's abilities.
While the two ghosts were stunned, the Nightmare Beast had already rapidly converted the pure energy and fed it back into Li Yu's spiritual sea.
Li Yu sensed the unresponsive level restriction, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, and muttered to himself:
"It's not working at all."
Li Yu also realized that what he needed was not just the white mist energy left by the dead ghost, but something else.
The key to the breakthrough seems to lie in that special kind of "recognition," rather than simply killing and devouring.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Li Yu surging continuously, Su Peng on the other side was utterly terrified! Even his ghostly presence fluctuated violently out of control.
He immediately realized that the person in front of him was no ordinary person, and his ability to kill ghosts was unheard of. He was simply no match for him!
Moreover, the fact that the other party was willing to help Huang Shasha suggests that they might be involved with Huang Ya and his sister!
While Li Yu was intently observing the changes, Su Peng gently floated away and slowly retreated outside.
When Huang Ya saw Li Yu suddenly save his sister, his eyes were filled with an almost fanatical light:
"High-level Awakener!"
Only a high-level Awakened One with exceptional strength could clearly see the location of the ghosts and so easily deal with a large number of them.
He honed his skills diligently during his lifetime, aiming to overcome numerous challenges and become a high-level Awakened One. He was all too aware of the power and strength of a high-level Awakened One.
The person before me is unfathomable!
Then Huang Ya sighed to himself. Back then, he wanted to improve himself through high-intensity training and then represent the Huang family to spar with high-level awakened individuals.
Unfortunately, none of his wishes came true.
A sudden gust of cold wind blew by, and Su Peng, without hesitation, transformed into a dim gray shadow and retreated into the darkness to escape quickly.
Huang Ya finally snapped out of his shock, looked in the direction where Su Peng had disappeared, and said resentfully, with a hint of resentment:
"Damn it, he got away!"
Li Yu had actually noticed Su Peng's ghostly movements long ago, but he wasn't in a hurry to kill him, so he didn't stop him.
Li Yu withdrew her gaze, her eyes finally landing on the faint figure behind Huang Ya.
The girl was thin and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over. She looked slightly flustered and seemed to be in a completely unstable mental state.
Huang Shasha hadn't seen a living person in a long time, and she was still a little shy in the face of Li Yu's observing gaze, but she also looked over curiously and secretly sized up Li Yu.
Huang Ya glanced warily at Li Yu, then turned back to remind her, "Sasha, tell him we have to go."
"Um...you..." Huang Shasha mustered her courage and looked at Li Yu, timidly trying to speak, but Li Yu responded directly:
"No need to relay the message, I can hear you."
Huang Ya was taken aback, and his gaze toward Li Yu was filled with a strange look.
The other party is not only a powerful Awakened One, but also an Awakened One who can communicate with ghosts.
He had wandered here for many years and had seen many people come to exorcise the ghosts, including many awakened individuals with super strong mental abilities, but their abilities were limited to seeing or sensing the existence of ghosts.
Aside from his sister, Huang Ya had never seen anyone who could communicate directly with him as a ghost.
"Thank you very much, friend. We'll be going now. Until we meet again!" Huang Ya said, about to leave with Huang Shasha. Clearly, he didn't want to get too involved with such a powerful and dangerous person.
Li Yu suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path, and asked Huang Ya curiously, "You're already a ghost, why are you bringing a living person with you and lingering here?"
"Don't you know the effects of ghosts on the living, especially in a place where such a large number of ghosts gather?"
“Every moment she stays here is hastening her death.”
Li Yu had long observed that in such an extremely cold and yin place, even if Huang Shasha was an awakened one, she would be greatly affected and harmed in the long run.
"..." Huang Ya did not answer, but turned around and glanced at his younger sister behind him.
Having become a ghost, he was naturally well aware of the harm that ghostly energy could cause to the living.
His sister's increasingly frail body, her ever-growing dark circles under her eyes, and her trembling even in her sleep from the cold all felt like knives stabbing into his heart.
But Su Peng and his gang had sworn to exterminate the Huang family and avenge their grievances, and their pursuit of Huang Shasha was relentless.
For his sister's safety, he had no better option than to bring her to his side.
However, in order to reduce the harm caused by the yin energy, he tried his best to approach and take care of his sister alone, and even refused help from other benevolent ghosts for this reason.
Sensing that Li Yu's words contained no malice, but rather a hint of inquiry, Huang Ya's tense soul relaxed slightly, and he calmly replied:
"You look unfamiliar, and your strength is extraordinary. You must have just arrived in Kangcheng not long ago. Did you come alone?" He tried to change the subject.
Li Yu waved her hand gently: "I came with a whole regiment."
"A whole regiment?" Huang Ya, who had only given a casual and polite reply, was suddenly stunned. He carefully examined Li Yu's young face, and his heart was filled with shock.
