Chapter 62

t

Dogs were barking in front of poor families’ homes . There was a snowstorm and a gloomy atmosphere .

Mu Yi racked his brain trying figure out what it could mean . He had read the sentences in a poetry book and they closely resembled the current night . Although there were barking dogs, poor families, and the moon was in the sky too, unfortunately there was no snowstorm, otherwise the sentences would have matched the night perfectly .

The place mentioned in the letter was in the Western district of the city . The letter also stated that Mu Yi could only come alone, otherwise, Su Jinlun would be killed . Mu Yi didn’t intend to bring anyone, from the beginning .

Ordinary people couldn’t help him in a fight against a corpse-ghost, unless there were a lot of them, they would all just die . The enemy wasn’t stupid, if Mu Yi had brought many people, they would have just escaped .

Mu Yi’s destination was an abandoned and run-down old village . There used to be hundreds of people in the village . They had all died at some point and nobody knew the reason why .

It wasn’t strange that nobody wanted to live there anymore . People said that village was haunted . Some people even called it Ghost Village .

Mu Yi had learned a few things during his time with Xie Zheng . Xie Zheng never managed to solve a handful of rare cases and the massacre that occurred in the village in the past was one of those cases . When Mu Yi mentioned the village, he frowned, but he still explained what he knew about the situation there to Mu Yi . Mu Yi would have to make the decision about how he should proceed .

Mu Yi wasn’t worried . It didn’t matter whether there were ghosts or not . People were far scarier than ghosts . He neither lacked body protection charms nor evil spirit slaying charms . If there were ghosts, he would be able to destroy them easily . Alternatively, he could put them in the Ghost King Banner and raise them .

The connection between Mu Yi and the Ghost King Banner had grown deeper . The power of the banner had grown better than before as well . The only problem was that it was broken and Mu Yi didn’t know how to fix it . He was still waiting for an opportunity to do so .

It was pitch-black in the village when Mu Yi arrived . It was scary . It felt as if monsters were about to jump out of a dark corner at anytime . Mu Yi was brave, he only glanced around momentarily before entering the village .

Mu Yi probably looked careless and absent-minded to anyone who glanced at him, but actually in his left sleeve was the copper lamp and in his right sleeve was an evil spirit slaying charm . He couldn’t be reckless . It was possible someone would attack him immediately .

He also brought three, five thunders charms which were easily accessible . The fact that he had come to the village at night was a bit inconvenient for him . He had just begun practicing cultivation and didn’t have the Celestial Vision yet . He had to reach the second difficulty only then would he have the opportunity to activate it .

His mind strength gotten much better, though . He could now use his mind strength to sense things . He could sense ghosts and people if they were within ten meters of him .

The atmosphere was really gloomy in the ghost village, maybe it was because nobody had lived in it for a long time .

Mu Yi had just passed through the gate when his muscles stiffened . In front of him, he saw a silhouette in white clothes illuminated by the moon . The silhouette was motionless and Mu Yi could only see the person’s back which only made the entire scene scarier .

Mu Yi moved his head slightly to the side without even realizing it . He had somehow sensed the danger in the moment and reacted .

A cold wind brushed against a part of his face . It burned for some reason . Mu Yi’s heart started pounding when he felt it . This would be a very dangerous fight, even more dangerous than the fight he had with the hoodlum .

It was an arrow that had brushed past his face . The person who shot it was definitely an expert . The person wasn’t any weaker than Su Yan . When he had shot Xugui back then, it was incredible . Maybe Little Frost’s bandits had such an expert .

Mu Yi was strong but he had only just started cultivating . His strength wasn’t that great . If he got injured, it’d would be disastrous . Mu Yi ran away and entered a building . He was scared . It was most likely the reason why his enemy had noticed him . A person’s Qi was easier to detect when they were scared .

Mu Yi was convinced that his enemy had prepared everything necessary to capture him . The first arrow was only the beginning . He had just found a place to hide when he saw two silhouettes in black clothes appear . The blades in their hands gleamed in the moonlight . They ran towards him with an obvious intent to kill .

Mu Yi was startled, but he raised his right hand and threw the two evil spirit slaying charms at the silhouettes . As they got closer to him, Mu Yi sensed that they were just ordinary people . They could be martial artists at most . However, after considering their methods, he determined they weren’t experts .

The two fighters weren’t even close enough to strike Mu Yi and his two charms had already landed onto their chests . White lights flashed, a horrible shriek sounded out in the space, and blood splattered across the room .

Mu Yi’s evil spirit slaying charms were much more effective than in the past . If Xugui fought against Mu Yi with his current abilities, he would suffered a crushing defeat . Back then, Mu Yi had just reached the second step of the first difficulty . He wasn’t good at drawing magic symbols .

Now, he had already reached the third step, it was the last part of the first difficulty . His body was filled with much more strength . One more step and he would enter the second difficulty . It’d be completely different from the first . Mu Yi’s ability to draw magic symbols were much better now than back then .

Xugui had used the Ghost King Banner back then and Mu Yi had no choice but to use his five thunders charm . Now, it would be different . Xugui no longer possessed the Ghost King Banner . Mu Yi’s current five thunders charms could crush Xugui in one strike .

Xugui was smart . He knew that Mu Yi had become stronger as time passed . He dispatched people specifically to see how strong he had become and also to tire him out .

The two people collapsed . On the other side of the building, cold lights twinkled in the dark . It was as if a snake was moving towards Mu Yi to bite him . He realized it was a sword and it was moving fast .

Mu Yi had just finished attacking, but the enemy didn’t give him time to breathe before launching another attack . An ordinary person would have panicked and failed to do anything . Mu Yi utilized his mind strength so even though it was dark, his senses were sharp .

Mu Yi smiled mockingly when the enemy attacked . Another white light appeared, it illuminated the enemy’s face for a moment before it exploded .

There was a loud sound and then a gigantic hole appeared behind Mu Yi . Some stones fell down above his head .
