Chapter 500: Middle-Aged Ghost (2/2)

The Middle-aged Ghost was not unintelligent. To have been able to become a ghost, he was naturally rather shrewd and powerful. He had instantly sensed the breath of life from the two creatures in front of him, and while he was jealous of the life force, it no longer held any attraction to him.

Ghosts could not use life-force for anything. They needed souls to increase their strength, and since they were dead, the souls of the dead were much more compatible with them. A living soul might even do more damage to them than it assisted.

While this meant that they would not be treated as food in the Ghost Realm, it did not mean that they would not encounter danger.

Ghosts were much more ruthless than the ones on the surface world. They lived off consuming each other, and thus the constant battle and scheming against one another made survival a hard thing.

”Come with me,” the middle-aged ghost finally said after considering his options.

”I will explain the Ghost Realm to you.”

The man had decided to help them, not because he pitied them, but because the ox-headed man had taken an interest in them.

The ordinary ghost had no way of knowing about a Rule Breaker, so when they looked at Xue Wei, they did not see anything special about him.

The only thing different about him was that he had a strange but very beautiful blue snake with four wings by his side that seemed to have a weird temper.

Xue Wei and Lan threw a glance at one another, and without the need to say anything, they knew what the other thought. Joining this caravan would be beneficial to them.

Xue Wei and Lan headed to the carriage that was occupied by the middle-aged ghost. They were quite surprised as to why no one else had exited the carriages to see them, but upon entering, they instantly knew why.

Inside the carriage was a big image of what was happening outside. It displayed everything, including sound, and everyone within the carriages would have known precisely what happened as if they had been there themselves.

The strange energy that the carriages were running on and the technology were utterly foreign to Lan and Xue Wei, causing both of them to be perplexed.

The middle-aged ghost smiled when he saw their reactions. He had previously been quite curious about these two living beings that had suddenly appeared in the Ghost Realm, and their reactions made him even more interested.

The Ghost Realm did not only take the dead from Xue Wei's native world, but they also accepted the dead from many other worlds that had no contact with the Ten Courts of Hell, and thus it was incredibly vast, with many different districts.

Seeing that Xue Wei and Lan were new to the whole realm, the middle-aged man began explaining in detail about its layout and rules.
