If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 532 Ghost State Customs
Leng Ningshuang was planning to walk in carelessly, not caring at all about the big word "evil" on the stone tablet, but Li Yanmo did not act immediately. He glanced at the territory of the evil demon tribe and then at the stone tablet in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yanmo turned around immediately.

Leng Ningshuang naturally didn't think that Li Yanmo was afraid, so she quickly followed him and asked, "Brother Li, did you find anything?"

"It's not that I discovered anything, but I'm a little surprised that there's no one guarding this demon-suppressing pass."

"That's because there's absolutely no need to worry about the fierce demons crossing this border."

Li Yanmo pinched his chin and thought for a moment before asking, "Although the name of the Xiong Yao Clan begins with the word 'Xing', they are demons, not monster beasts. They know what they should and shouldn't do."

"Of course. Although the demons may have been arrogant and domineering in the past, they are very smart and know who to provoke and who not to provoke." Leng Ningshuang raised her finger and shook it left and right. "The ruler of this world is the Dayu Dynasty. If you provoke the Dayu Dynasty, you will really face catastrophic disaster. On the other hand, the Taoists appear united, but they are all two-faced. It is impossible for them to unite and wipe out the demons."

"So the demons are only arrogant and domineering in front of Taoist monks, but are quite well-behaved in front of Dayu. Sometimes they even try to show goodwill to Dayu by undermining the arrogance of Taoist monks."

This is the biggest difference between demons and demon beasts.

When monsters transform into human form, they not only have the same appearance as humans, but their way of thinking is no different from that of humans. However, monsters and beasts are still influenced by their animal nature. Coupled with the three thoughts of greed, anger, and ignorance, monsters and unusual wild beasts can easily lose control, so they must be heavily guarded.

But no matter what, it's not necessary to just erect a monument.

Not to mention that the word "凶" on the monument is facing Guizhou, so who is it trying to scare?
Seeing Li Yanmo's thoughtful expression, Leng Ningshuang knew that Li Yanmo had some ideas, so she didn't urge him to go to the territory of the fierce demon tribe quickly. Instead, she put her hands behind her back like a young man who came to travel, whistling and admiring the scenery along the road.

The Xiong Yao Clan existed right between Guizhou and Juezhou. To reach them, they had to traverse the entirety of Guizhou. Guizhou was truly vast, and a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to fly for who knows how long to traverse it. Therefore, they had been sitting in the magical carriage the entire way. While they would sometimes glance out the window at the scenery, the speed of the magical carriage meant they could only see lines of various colors.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang arrived at a town called Yinmu Town.

The layout of Yinmu Town is similar to that of Luoyang Town. It takes an ordinary person a month to take a carriage along the main road heading north to reach Sanmu City, which is similar to Risheng City.

The buildings here follow the consistent style of Ghost State and are all made of fine wood, but their shapes are completely like large coffins. No matter how many people there are, they cannot conceal the eerie atmosphere.

The residents all had pale faces, and although they were walking under the sun, they felt a little cold.

When Li Yanmo first arrived in Guizhou, he felt that the architectural style here was very gloomy and he didn't want to stay, so he didn't pay special attention to observing the people of Guizhou. Now, the more he looks, the more he feels something is wrong.

Leng Ningshuang noticed the strange look in Li Yanmo's eyes and leaned over to whisper in Li Yanmo's ear, "Brother Li, these people are native to Guizhou. Don't give them strange looks. It's impolite."

"Of course I know."

Although he agreed verbally, Li Yanmo always felt something was strange, so he sent a message to Nuyao in the Foundation Building Tower, asking her to check out the situation. Nuyao's answer made Li Yanmo suddenly feel a chill.

"There's no one alive here."

"Are you sure there are no living people here?" Li Yanmo asked immediately.

Although their cultivation was in a mess, Li Yanmo asked himself if he was still capable of judging whether the other party was alive. Although these people from Guizhou were pale, their blood and energy were surging in their bodies, and they were obviously alive.

Nv Yao poked her head out, looked around, and then her eyes landed on the nearest person from Ghost State. "This blood and energy... is from a living person, but the karma on this person is too heavy. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a living person, but more like a ghost."

After observing for a while, Nv Yao also became a little uncertain. "It feels a little off. It seems like the Great Desolate Dao, but not entirely. Do you have any way to get a Golden Core or Nascent Soul from this sect?"

"The Golden Core and Nascent Soul of the Ghost Sect disciples? It shouldn't be a difficult task," Li Yanmo pinched his chin and thought for a while before nodding.

Surrendering and confiscation does not mean that all previous actions can be written off, so many disciples of super sects have been thrown into prison, including the Ghost Sect. It is not difficult to arrest two of them.

But there is a more convenient way.

While waiting for someone, Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang decided to go to a restaurant and eat while waiting. With their level of cultivation, they could have practiced fasting long ago, but eating is a normal human nature, and they are not a fasting sect.

But when the restaurant brought the rice, Li Yanmo lost all appetite.

Two pitch-black chopsticks stood upright on the crystal clear rice. Even though it was steaming, Li Yanmo still felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Li Yanmo looked elsewhere. Regardless of whether there were guests or not, there was food on every table, and chopsticks were placed upright on all the rice.

Even Leng Ningshuang paused for a few seconds before pulling down the chopsticks and picking up the rice as if nothing had happened.

During the period, customers came in from time to time. They did not greet the store owner and went straight to find a seat to eat. The waiter did not pay any attention to them. Everyone was doing their own thing.

Li Yanmo ate his meal in a subtle mood. It was not that he was afraid of ghosts. There were two female ghosts living in his foundation-building platform.

In the world of cultivating immortals, ghosts were an integral part of the society, but this strange atmosphere of not knowing whether they were alive or dead made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the food, and I didn't realize that I was actually eating toads and worms while eating.

Soon the person Li Yanmo was waiting for arrived.

Xiao Yun clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Master—"

"Come on, sit down and eat with us," Li Yanmo waved with a smile.

"Okay—" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and he sat down with anticipation.

Soon a bowl of rice with chopsticks was placed in front of Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun was silent for a few seconds, then looked around and his expression suddenly became strange.

He had heard people talk about Guizhou, but he only knew that the customs of Guizhou were strange. He didn't expect them to be so strange that it was a little creepy.

The shadow of the Eight Desolate Emperor emerged from behind Xiao Yun. He was extremely surprised by the customs of Ghost State, and he quickly noticed the abnormalities of the people of Ghost State.

"What the hell is going on in this ghost state?"
