“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.
