Chapter 503: A Living Being (1/2)

Xue Wei was puzzled when he found out that the Ghost Realm had so much technology, and the seals that they accepted were quite harsh.

However, at least they allowed attacking for self-defense. If even self-defense was banned, then it was obvious that no one would enter another city than the one they had settled in, and then they would truly become a backward world.

Each city would become an independent country that would not interact with others, and as a result, their advance, both technological and cultivation wise would slow drastically.

Xue Wei was somewhat puzzled. Was he also going to get a seal, and would these seals even work on him, since he was not a ghost?

If they did not work on him, then he was not likely to be allowed entry into the city.

If he did enter, and something went wrong, everyone would suspect that he was the culprit.

There were many things that he needed to take into account, but after considering for some time, he knew it was not possible to stay out of the village.

He had to enter the village and learn about how the Ghost Realm worked. He had only been in the desolate areas and the carriage so far. Visiting a village would be good to slowly adjust to the more populated places within the ghost realm.

When they arrived at the entrance, a group of guards appeared from behind the gate, opening it laboriously, and then went to inspect the inside of every single carriage in order to put the seal on each of the ghosts.

However, these guards were deep in shock when they saw Xue Wei and Lan in the middle-aged ghost's carriage.

At first, they thought that something was amiss, but their eyes widened in shock after observing them closely. Were these not living beings?

Although all ghosts knew that some living beings could enter the Ghost Realm, it was not something that had happened before according to their knowledge.

At least, no one had experienced it before.

”Stretch out your hand,” the guard said after hesitating for a moment and furrowing his brows.

Xue Wei nodded his head. He understood the seriousness of this matter and obediently stretched out his hand.

A white gleam of light shone from the guard's hand, and a strange rune appeared on the back of Xue Wei's hand. The rune seemed to be embedded into his hand, no one could feel it when putting their hands on top of it, but when looking at it, then everyone could see it.

The guard was looking somewhat hesitant. He had not thought that the rune would actually appear on the hand, he had thought that it would be impossible for Xue Wei, who was alive, to be affected by the death energy of the Ghost Realm, but it proved that he had been mistaken.

Frowning, he did not know what to do. Looking at the rune, it seemed that it had been successful, but how could he test it?
