Chapter 424: The Forgotten Ghost Village (2/2)
Feiyun became interested. A village disappearing by the Jin River that would occasionally appear again with some strange things inside causing mysterious deaths?
It was similar to the Yama’s Decaying Blood. Even strongest Giants would die mysteriously after having contact with the blood.
A disappearing ancient village and a qi image left behind by an Enlightened Being… all of these signs showed that this village was not ordinary. Perhaps there was a great secret hidden here.
The old woman was asleep late in the night. Feiyun sneaked out of his room without issuing a single thud. He planned on checking the ghost village nearby, perhaps a discovery was waiting there for him.
“You swindler.” Xiaoxiang was already standing outside as if she knew that he would try to go there.
Feiyun wasn’t surprised at all. After all, her shabby cultivation couldn’t escape his divine intents at all.
“You want to go too?” He quietly asked.
“If you’re going, why can’t I?” She replied.
“As long as you don’t piss your pants, you can… Wait, something is happening.” Feiyun gazed towards the horizon and saw three white rays flying towards the river shore. They were three monks wearing white buddhist robes. Their powerful aura showed that they were at Heaven’s Mandate.
“Looks like the monks from Faith are also paying attention to this ghost village.” He murmured.
There was no moon tonight, one couldn’t see their fingers in front of them. They could still hear the sound of Jin River in the distant and saw a tiny village on the other side with bright lamps. However, it was eerily quiet.
The three monks from Faith were standing outside of the village with all kind of artifacts such as a buddhist mirror, wooden bead, and a vajra scepter.
They were digging randomly while using the mirror to illuminate the village.
Feiyun was even further away. He became a bit anxious after seeing the ghost village.
He leaned closer to the ground and listened. There were faint screams and waves of nefarious laughter coming from below. They were intermittent and quiet, as if hell was right below.
However, when he used his divine intents to scout, there was nothing down there but the noises were certainly audible.
Ye Xiaoxiang copied him and slowly lied on her stomach to listen with her ear. She heard the same horrifying noises.
“Master said this ghost village had appeared six hundred years ago. Our seniors back then have also entered but no one came out.”
“It happened more than one thousand years ago too. An Enlightened Being came by on coincidence and used a supreme technique to enter. He never appeared in the cultivation world afterward…”
“If we can find the path that Enlightened Being used, maybe we can get in too.”
One of the monks suddenly shouted: “I found a trace of that senior, he certainly came from the northeast.”
“Come, let us search.”
The three powerful disappeared into a thicket near the village by the northeast.
Ye Xiaoxiang’s eyes lit up as she whispered: “We’ll follow them too.”
Feiyun shook his head and said: “Wait a minute.”
A bit later, three wails came from the village, followed by three red rays flying out of the thicket like pillars of blood. The night sky became even more horrifying.
“We’re leaving now!” He quickly dragged her towards the horizon whether she wanted to or not.
On the next morning during breakfast with the old woman, Feiyun planned on visiting the village again. Even if it wasn’t around, there should still be some strange things left behind.
However, once he got one foot out of the door, he quickly went back in and hid his aura then closed the door.
He just saw two familiar people just now on the old street, Dongfang Jingshui and Dongfang Jingyue. Why were they here at this tiny village?
He didn’t want them to know of his location, especially Dongfang Jingyue. He had complicated feelings for her because each time seeing her, it was as if he was seeing Shui Yueting again...
