Chapter 505: Masking Life Force (1/2)

It was not only Xue Wei who was on high alert; Lan was also observing everything with scrutinizing eyes.

Although he had sealed his power, he held many advantages against others at the same strength. He had his experience and insight. He also had his abilities, even though their power had scaled down alongside the sealing of his powers.

Although he and Xue Wei were aware that it was risky to allow the ghosts to mask their lifeforce, they also had a certain amount of faith in themselves.

Xue Wei had an affinity with the lightning element, and he knew that lightning was the ultimate enemy of the ghosts. While this world consisted of ghosts as the only living beings, they were all known as dark and evil creatures.

Lightning was pure and heavenly; it could strike any evil creature down, and was the nemesis of anything which was evil.

Although Xue Wei's lightning would not make him unbeatable in the ghost realm, it was still a great assistance for him, and it would allow him and Lan to escape.

Lan and Xue Wei disembarked from the carriage. They looked at the gates that had been closed, their eyes were solemn, and their muscles taut.

If they encountered the slightest threat, they would fight back, but they soon noticed that the ghosts were extremely polite to them, and explained everything they did in detail.

They had nothing living to try their mechanism on, but after explaining it well, Xue Wei felt a lot more relieved. They were not extinguishing the life force within him; they were merely going to hide it by putting a token on his body that had an illusion inscribed within.

This illusion blocked all traces of life force, and those who looked at them would see a ghost-like existence like any other.

Their eyes would seem all black, and their aura would be cold and gloomy. Their cultivation base would also look very different from their actual strength, but more similar to that of the ghost realm's cultivation base.

Lan and Xue Wei were feeling quite good when they realized that they did not need to alter anything in their bodies, and that they merely had to carry a token with them, but even then, they did not let go of their vigilance.

Xue Wei accepted the token. The wood it was made from was dark purple, and there was a pulse of energy erupting from it every second.

He looked at the inscription on the token, he was not familiar with the runes, but they seemed to work in the same way as the inscriptions he had learned.

Xue Wei felt cold energy shrouding him as he held the token. It was not uncomfortable, but it caused a chill to run through his body. However, it did not permeate into his body; it was merely the skin that felt the chill.

Xue Wei was even more convinced that this token would not affect or influence his body.
