Chapter 559: Manipulating Emotions (1/2)
Lan and Xue Wei exchanged glances yet again. Although Lan had returned to being a deity once more, he was still a foreigner within this realm, and he did not understand much of what was going on around them.
Even so, it seemed that most of the ghosts they encountered were caught in some sort of illusion, and only the one they had been followed seemed to be sober.
”Let's guard him?” Xue Wei was naturally a little confused as to why this ghost would trust them enough to let the two of them guard him while digesting the overflowing essence, but based on their current situation; this guy seemed to be their best chance to understand the circumstances of the area.
”For now, we should stay. It all depends on how long it will take for him to cultivate. If it is less than a day or two, then I don't really mind staying around to guard him, but if it takes longer than that, then we can begin to discuss if it is worth the time wasted.”
Xue Wei contemplated for some time. He was not against guarding this person, but if it took too much time, it might not be worth their effort.
The entire Ghost Realm was a desolate and barren land, but this area was like a desert. As far as one could see, dunes would rise into the distance, but no wind would appear, which could have caused these dunes to form.
The whole area contained a great feeling of uncertainty. Even Xue Wei and Lan felt uncomfortable being here, though they could not put their finger on exactly where this unexplainable emotion came from.
The air felt stagnant and heavy. It was dry and uncomfortable to breathe, and although there was no strong sunlight, it still felt unpleasant to stay within the desert.
Although they had decided to take a break, neither Xue Wei nor Lan was exhausted. They had merely walked around in the sand for some time and witnessed the battle of a few ghosts.
As experts of a high rank, this was not enough to cause them any strain, but they still felt as if someone was grasping their heart, ready to squeeze it at any time, which was causing their minds to be overly active and vigilant.
Their minds were never able to calm down, and the strain of their minds was much more intense than that on their bodies.
It was clear that there was something very wrong with this area. Could this sense of discomfort have anything to do with the ghosts losing their minds or falling into a hallucination?
Even the heaven and earth essence within this area was much lesser than that of other places within the Ghost Realm, so even though Xue Wei was also cultivating, his speed was much slower than before.
Even so, since they had decided to wait for some time, he still felt the need to enhance his strength rather than waste the moment.
Lan was also seated cross-legged by his side. His seal had become increasingly hard to unravel as the upper layers were much more thoroughly sealed than the lower ones.
