Whoo…

After leaving the village, the night wind became even colder.

After floating for a while, the ghost with a pair of red eyes seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around.

Luo Qingzhou was also looking at it, but he did not stop walking.

“Hmm? Why is this human walking this way? Could it be that he knows about that cave abode? Let me follow him and take a look. ‘

With this thought in mind, the ghost floated to the right and made way.

This human’s blood and Qi were exuberant. As soon as it approached, it felt a burning sensation all over its body.

It was as if someone was roasting him over a fire. It was very painful.

Luo Qingzhou pretended not to see it and continued walking forward. Soon, he entered the forest.

Then, he stopped and deliberately looked around aimlessly.

The ghost followed behind. When it saw this scene, it secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “So he did not discover my cave abode. I’lljust ignore him and stay away from him.

Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked back. When he saw it floating toward the forest on the left, he immediately followed it.

According to the book, most ghosts did not have any consciousness and had no intelligence. They only had various instincts.

Resentment, ferocity, fear, attacking, evil deeds, and so on.

Once a person became a ghost, he might only be able to have these involuntary emotions for the rest of his life.

However, this ghost had intelligence and consciousness.

And he was actually cultivating.

However, from the looks of it, this ghost’s intelligence was very low. It seemed to have just gained intelligence.

Luo Qingzhou was very curious about what had happened to it.

The forest was pitch-black at night.

The trees were dense and the bushes were lush.

The mountain wind blew on his body, rendering him exceptionally cold.

The ghost floated unsteadily in front. It was unknown if it was thinking about something or if it had just developed intelligence and its senses were slow, but it did not notice the person behind it.

Luo Qingzhou followed it unhurriedly, his gaze fixed on it.

Once it stopped or looked back, he would hide behind the tree and become one with it.

The ghost’s body might be able to pass through the tree, but its gaze was not able to do so.

The ghost continued to float deeper into the forest.

Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at the gradually disappearing village. He was a little worried.

However, he felt that he was going to be okay.

It had been a few years since demon beasts appeared here.

They rarely appeared anywhere else.

It was said that the Black Forest in the north of the city was where the demon beasts gathered.

Every creature needed a suitable environment to survive.

There seemed to be a special substance in the Black Forest, and the terrain there was complicated. It was suitable for demon beasts to survive.

To martial artists, the entire body of demon beasts was a treasure.

Therefore, there were many martial artists hunting demon beasts.

Once a demon beast left the Black Forest’s protection, it would probably be hunted down by a martial artist very quickly.

Therefore, gradually, very few demon beasts left the Black Forest.

This small mountain village had been attacked by demon beasts a few times. Other than a few elderly guarding this place, there were no longer any living creatures. It was meaningless to demon beasts.

There was even less to worry about ghosts.

Although Xiao Die was a woman and had weaker blood and Qi, she was very young and had a healthy body. Ordinary ghosts could not do anything to her.

At most, it would sneak close and blow the cold wind, causing that little girl to have a nightmare.

As Luo Qingzhou thought this, he suddenly realized that the ghost in front of him had lowered its feet to the ground and crawled into a lush bush at the side.

Luo Qingzhou waited for a few minutes before walking over.

He pushed aside the bushes and saw a deep cave hidden inside.

He hesitated, then crawled in.

The cave was not narrow. He could advance by bending his body slightly.

After walking for more than 10 minutes, a collapsed stone door suddenly appeared on his right. The ground was filled with shattered stones.

Luo Qingzhou stood at the entrance and looked inside.

Inside was a spacious stone room. The top of the stone room was very high, about seven to eight meters tall. There was a stone embedded in it.

The stone was emitting a weak light that illuminated the stone room.

Looking at the stone that had a few parts caved in, Luo Qingzhou deduced that there should be other stones, but they must have already been broken off and taken away by other people.

The stone room was in a mess.

In addition to the gravel on the ground, there were also decaying bookshelves and tattered futons.

There was even a skeleton with broken limbs lying in the corner.

In the other corner, there were a few wooden boxes.

The wooden box had long been opened. It was empty.

Luo Qingzhou walked into the stone room and looked carefully.

Clearly, someone had entered this place long ago and taken away everything here.

The ghost floated in the corner and was looking at him in fear with its red eyes. “He… Why is he here too? Did he come with me? Can he see me?’

Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and suddenly realized that an old book was revealed in the corner below it.

He walked over, brushed away the rubble and dust, and picked up the book.

Looking at it carefully in the weak light, there were a few small words scrawled on the cover: “Regarding Soul Refinement.”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat. Soul refinement? Astral projection?

He quickly rummaged through the ground again, pushing aside the rubble and mess, searching everywhere.

However, this book seemed to be the only thing left in the entire stone room.

The ghost floated high in the air, trembling.

Every time Luo Qingzhou approached, it would drift to another place to dodge.

Luo Qingzhou held the tattered book and looked up at the ghost.

The skeleton in the corner might be an otherworldly expert who had exhausted his lifespan and died here, leaving behind many things.

Most probably, this ghost had unintentionally barged in and gained an opportunity. That was why it could activate its intelligence and started cultivating here.

Then, someone accidentally discovered this place and came in to take everything away.

As for why this book was left behind, perhaps those people were just ordinary people who only cared about treasures and did not recognize this book to be a valuable one at all.

Or perhaps those people were also soul cultivators and had such books, so they did not care for it at all.

Luo Qingzhou thought for a while and looked at the ghost. Just as he was about to speak, the ghost suddenly seemed to have gotten spooked. With a whoosh, it instantly entered the wall behind it and disappeared.

Luo Qingzhou froze.

He did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately took the book and left the cave.

If he left Xiao Die alone in the village, that girl would probably cry with fright if she woke up and could not find him.

He started running in the forest.

His speed was fast as he was feeling very energetic and could feel energy coursing through him.

Even though some sneaky ghosts were hiding nearby, they fled in panic and retreated.

Luo Qingzhou quickly returned to the small courtyard.

After entering the house, Xiao Die was still lying in her robe in the corner, sleeping soundly.

The explosive sound when he used the Thunder Fist previously probably frightened the nearby ghosts and made them flee.

It was said that firecrackers were lit during the new year to dispel and scare away evil spirits.

Now that he thought about it, it made sense.

The ghosts were weak and had a guilty conscience, to begin with. They only dared to appear quietly in the quiet night. With the sudden explosive sound, the crowd of ghosts immediately parted. Luo Qingzhou had exuberant blood and Qi. They were probably scared out of their wits and fled far.

Luo Qingzhou sat down in a corner and closed his eyes to calm himself. After calming down, he slowly opened the book in his hand.

At the same time.

In the long corridor of the Chengguo Residence.

On both sides of the vermilion railing, two figures stood in the shadows of the trees.

First Madam’s expression was still dark and unfathomable.

Second Butler Wang Cheng lowered his head and reported with an ugly expression, “They’re all dead. Wang Pu is also dead… From the fatal injuries on their bodies, the other party is a martial artist… I didn’t expect the Qin family to think so highly of that kid. They secretly sent guards to follow him… The people guarding the road out of the city didn’t see that kid return. He might still be outside, or he might have entered the city through another gate.” There was still no change in First Madam’s expression.

Wang Cheng said fearfully, “Recently, a few poems by that kid have been circulating. Everyone says that… that his poems are good… and they think that the Qin family thinks so highly of him because they want to nurture him so that he can do well in the imperial examination next year…”

First Madam suddenly turned to look at him with a malicious gaze, like a poisonous snake in the night.

Wang Cheng’s body trembled. He shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything else. He was drenched in a cold sweat of fear.

First Madam stared at him sinisterly for a long time before suddenly sighing and saying slowly, “Go to Yin County. Go personally and invite her back.”

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Then, his expression changed slightly and he said in a trembling voice, “S-Sorceress Ba?”

Calmness returned to the First Madam’s face. She looked at the night in front of her calmly. Her voice was calm, but it sounded a little sharp. “That b*tch was killed by her sorcery. I want that little b*stard to die like that b*tch! They can have a family reunion underground.”

Wang Cheng’s heart skipped a beat and a chill ran down his spine. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “I’ll set off tomorrow. Madam, don’t worry. This time, I’ll make sure that kid dies a violent death!”

At this moment.

In another mansion in MO City.

In a pavilion in the back garden, a snow-white figure was sitting and reading quietly under the moonlight.

A cold girl held a sword and stood at the side, motionless.

At this moment, a pretty girl in a pink dress walked in from the round door and entered the pavilion. She stood beside the snow-white figure and said in a low voice, “Sir hasn’t returned yet, Miss. Do you want to…”

There was silence in the pavilion.

The evening breeze blew past, and the lotus leaves in the pond in front of the girl fluttered. The water rippled, and the shattered moonlight shone into the girl’s dark and deep eyes.

The snow-white figure still did not speak but she slowly put down the book in her hand.

She sat there and did not move. Her eyes were looking at the moonlight reflected on the surface of the pond. She slowly slipped into a daze.

The pink-dressed girl’s expression relaxed. She raised her head and looked at the cold girl standing at the side. She suddenly smiled and said, “I saw that you just came back. How many times have you gone out to take a look?”

“Hmph!”

The cold girl hugged her sword and turned her face away. She also looked at the pond and ignored Bai Ling.

Her pretty face was still as cold as ice..
