“Then let’s rest first and wait for eleven.” Lonemoon announced the end of the meeting. The four got up and left, going back to their own rooms.

Seeing them walking further away, Fatty finally turned back and said, “Master, though there’s no demonic aura in this city, there is Ghost Qi. I’m afraid…”

I know.” Lonemoon nodded. He naturally could also realize that what was in this city were not demons, but ghosts. “Just watch out and don’t let anything happen to them. It’s also good that they gain some experience!”

Fatty nodded, before he got up and prepared to leave with Mushroom. Lonemoon turned his head, but saw that Shen Ying sat still and looked right at him.

“What?”

“Supper!”

“There’s none today. Leave, leave!”

“…” Sigh. She missed Chef again!

Shen Ying had to take out pastries from the bag and go out while eating.

“Oh yeah.” Lonemoon suddenly remembered something and added casually. “Shen Ying, tonight you’d better not…”

Before he could finish, he saw that the person had already gone away, and had to take back his words. Never mind, it was only a ghost.

What was in this city was no demon. Since the moment that he entered the city, he had already noticed that this was a ghost who survived by eating human souls. Besides, it was very probably going to ascend to Ghost King soon. The reason for the city people’s lethargy was that a part of their soul was sucked away.

Ghosts were actually easier to deal with as compared the demon kind, if they could find it first, of course. These disciples had never come in contact with ghosts and souls, so it was only normal that they couldn’t understand what it was for a moment. So long as their spirits were stable, they wouldn’t be controlled by the ghost.

With Shen Ying’s ability, even the most powerful ghost would find it hard to capture her. After all, she was the person who had beaten the Ghost King till he cried.

So whoever that things happened to, nothing would happen to her… or they would!

“Where is she?!” Lonemoon looked at the empty room and felt an immense fatigue.

Fatty looked totally confused as well. “I didn’t see Miss Shen go out.”

“Look for her! Hurry up and look!” He shouldn’t have loosened his grip on the one without a little bit of a sense of direction!

“Yes!” Just as Fatty was about to go out of the door, a loud ring of a bell came into their ears. The sound was simple and remote, it passed through the whole Quhang City instantly. It went into their ears, and for a moment they felt their spirit vibrating, as if something was going to get out of the body.

The four disciples hurried to activate spirit qi and protect their heart and veins before suppressing that feeling.

But a clanging sound actually came from the door. Zhi Lin who followed them all the way fell down at the entrance of the inn downstairs. There was a bit of a bloodstain by the corner of her mouth. Vaguely, she showed signs of her soul leaving her body.

“Little Lin!” Jian Xing was shocked. He directly jumped downstairs and held the person on the ground. He split out a bit of spirit qi to protect her heart and veins. Only then did Zhi Lin’s face look better.

“Big Brother…” Zhi Lin looked at the person in front of her with remaining fear. Suddenly, she seemed to have remembered something, she looked up at the people upstairs and said, “Oh yes, Exalted Master, I saw Big Sister Shen in the street just now. I called her, but she didn’t respond, as if… as if she was controlled by something.”

Lonemoon was shocked. His figure flashed and he was already beside her. “Where did you see her?”

“On the street right in front!” She pointed to the outside.

Lonemoon turned and rushed out. He went searching along the direction she gave, others hurried to follow.

Once they came out, they realized that though it was pitch-dark midnight, the streets outside were full of people. Upon closer look, they were the residents of the city from the day. Every single one of them had their eyes closed, their faces expressionless, and they walked towards the same direction like lost souls, as though they were controlled by something. There was not the slightest bit of sound.

A disciple activated his spirit qi to check their souls, yet his face paled. “Their… Their souls are not in the bodies!”

Others froze for a moment. And then, they pushed open the doors of the homes and walked inside to look. Yet they found shadows lying on the beds. These were the souls of those people in the streets, yet their expression was painful, as though they were experiencing some horrible nightmare.

“It was the bell rings just now!” Jian Xing said in a deep voice. “Their souls were shaken out of their body by the ringing. Something got control of their bodies.”

“Let’s find Shen Ying first!” Lonemoon said with a deep voice and he flew up directly. He released his divine perception and glanced over the dense crowds in the streets, before he noticed a familiar figure in the street, walking step by step towards the city gate, following the crowds. Upon closer look, there was a bit of vague Ghost Qi tangled on her leg.

“There!” Lonemoon flew down directly. He waved a hand to dispel the Ghost Qi around Shen Ying’s feet, and she stopped immediately.

Others followed over. Fatty spoke subconsciously, “So strange. Why would Miss Shen be bothered by mere Ghost Qi…”

“Shh…” Before he could finish, Lonemoon suddenly turned back, his face anxious and his voice pressed low. “Don’t speak!”

“Huh?!” Others froze right where they were.

They thought something big happened to Shen Ying. Yet upon closer look, they realized that she had her eyes shut tight and her face expressionless just like other senseless bodies, only that… the sounds of soft snoring came.

Fatty: “…”

Jian Xing, “…”

Everyone: “…”

She was sleeping, right? Her soul did not leave her body, but was simply asleep!

Before others could react, Lonemoon’s transmitted a voice transmission seriously, as though they were facing some powerful enemy. “Go, hurry up and get the pillow and quilt from her room. Don’t make any sound, if… you don’t want to die!”

The disciples looked totally confused, but they still obediently went back for quilt and pillow.

“Hurry, hand them to me, be careful!” Lonemoon took the quilt from their hands, took a deep breath, before walking forward with immense care, and then wrapped it around Shen Ying with immense care. And then, he held the person with extreme care, and placed her on the quilt laid on the ground.

His movement looked like a slow-motion replay. He even held his breath throughout the whole process, scared of making a sound.

Only when he placed the person back into the quilt, did he let out a long breath and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Good, good, she didn’t wake! I was so scared.

The on-lookers, “…”

“Master.” Jian Xing looked at the figures who had gradually exited the city, he couldn’t help but send a voice transmission saying, “The people in this city…”

Lonemoon turned and gave them a look, before nodding, “All of you should go! If you encounter something, try to keep a distance when fighting. I’ll look after Shen Ying here. Fatty, look after them.”

“Yes, Master.” Fatty nodded. He gave the four disciples a look, before taking Mushroom and flying off with the crowd going out of the city.

Zhi Lin turned back and gave Lonemoon a look. Something flashed in her eyes, and then she hurried to follow them on her sword.

The group followed the figures all the way out of the city. However, outside the city, thick, white mist covered the whole sky, such that one could only see clearly within one foot. They had to fly down, in case they were separated by the mist.

Everyone said that Yi Qing was the number one Sword Cultivator in the world, with a swordsmanship and cultivation that no one could surpass. Whether it was when he was cultivating in the Lower Realm, or when he was in the Ten Heavens of the Upper Realm, he has always been undefeated. Yi Qing laughed and said: “That is because you do not know of my Master. If we speak of cultivation, I am not as good as she by a long mile. Thinking about it, at the start, out of the ten Heavenly Emperors of the Upper Realm, my Master beat up nine, and the one left was myself.” “Master? You actually have a Master! Who? How come we never heard of it?” “My Master is…. Eh? Master? Master! And my Master? Has anyone seen my Master?” A person next to them quietly raised her paw. “I am here!”
