Just as Jiang Yunjiu was about to follow the main group, Su Yan grabbed Jiang Yunjiu's arm and said firmly, "You don't have to follow. Just follow me."

Jiang Yunjiu was slightly stunned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, but she did not resist and followed Su Yan.

Su Yan had just taken a few steps when he was pulled to a corner by Lao Wang. Seeing this, Jiang Yunjiu had to stop and wait for Su Yan to finish his business.

He looked around nervously, checking his surroundings to make sure no one was staring at him. Then he lowered his voice and whispered, "Xiao Su, did you bring the things I asked you to bring?" His eyes were full of eagerness and anticipation.

Su Yan helplessly put his hands up to indicate that he didn't have it, with a look of grievance on his face: "I really did bring it to you, but Uncle Yin took it away when he saw it. I can't do anything about it. You know Uncle Yin's temper, how could I dare to argue with him?"

When Old Wang heard this, he flew into a rage and started cursing Yin Shao. "Not only did he not allow everyone to sell me alcohol, but he also took away the alcohol I bought secretly! No way! I have to fight him so hard that his mother won't even recognize him!"

His face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked so angry that he wanted to eat Yin Shao alive.

After saying that, he pulled a passerby over and said anxiously, "Help me guard the door!"

The passerby looked helpless and advised: "Are you going to fight the deputy city lord again? Forget it, you can't win."

Lao Wang was now furious and yelled angrily, "Don't worry about it!"

He strode towards the City Lord's Mansion angrily.

Su Yan walked to Jiang Yunjiu, sighed softly and said, "You'll get used to it in the future." There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Su Yan turned around and walked towards her residence with Jiang Yunjiu. Jiang Yunjiu followed behind her with light steps.

Jiang Yunjiu walked, looking at everything in the ghost town curiously.

The houses on both sides of the street are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are a wide variety of shops and stalls. At first glance, it seems to be no different from other cities.

It’s just that the eyes of passers-by were shining when they looked at us, and there seemed to be curiosity and inquiry in their eyes.

While walking and observing the surrounding environment, I found that the cultivators here were almost all at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and the air was filled with powerful spiritual fluctuations.

I also saw a monk lying in a corner and snoring. He was dressed in rags, like a beggar on the street.

When his eyes moved to the Qingji Sword beside him that exuded a cold aura, Jiang Yunjiu was shocked and realized that this person was Senior Nan Xiu who had disappeared for twenty years.

Su Yan noticed that Jiang Yunjiu paused as he looked at the man in front of him, so he introduced him, "He should be Nan Xiu, who is in the top five of your ranking list. I heard about him in Yangluo City, but here he is at most in the top fifty." Su Yan's tone was calm, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact.

Jiang Yunjiu couldn't believe it. Senior Nan Xiu had entered the Ascension Stage from the Mahayana Stage in one step. In the outside world, he would be a top-tier existence, but in Ghost Town, he was only ranked in the top 50.

I couldn't help but wonder: How many strong people are there in this ghost town?

Su Yan seemed to see through Jiang Yunjiu's thoughts and continued, "The difference between Ghost Town and the outside world is that here people only pursue their own Dao heart. Outside, they will do anything for power, wealth, and fame. In this long struggle, I'm afraid they have long lost the original intention of why they practiced."

Besides, you should be curious about why some of them would rather enter a ghost town with no way out than stay in the outside world, right? " Su Yan raised his head slightly and looked into Jiang Yunjiu's eyes, as if guiding her to think deeply.

Jiang Yunjiu said, "Because of the royal family?" Her voice was crisp and cold.

Su Yan nodded lightly and said, "That's right."

"We're here. This is where I live." Su Yan stopped and turned sideways so that Jiang Yunjiu could see her home clearly.

Jiang Yunjiu looked up at Su Yan's residence. It was a simple yet elegant building, with a vermilion gate and grayish-gray tiles, revealing the sedimentation of time. She turned around and looked around, and suddenly found that the city lord's mansion was across the street.

Su Yan walked up and knocked on the door, saying loudly, "Old man, I'm back!" Her voice was clear, loud, and full of energy.

After a while, an old man with white hair and wearing a white robe opened the door.

His eyes first fell on Su Yan, with a bit of affection, and then he saw Jiang Yunjiu, stunned for a moment, turned his head, and said to Su Yan in feigned anger: "Old man, old man, can't you call me Master! You have no respect for your elders and no manners at all!"

Su Yan stuck out his tongue and introduced Jiang Yunjiu with a smile: "Guest, you will stay here for a few days."

Jiang Yunjiu bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, senior."

The old man nodded seriously in response.

Seeing the old man's pretentious look, Su Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to Jiang Yunjiu, "Ignore him, he's not like this usually. He's just pretending to be so serious." After saying that, he made a face at the old man.

Jiang Yunjiu smiled lightly and followed Su Yan into the house.

The old man stroked his beard and looked at the two people going away and said to himself, "She's here, so he should be here soon, right?"

In a deep and quiet forest, a seemingly dilapidated building stands alone.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed, and Bai Jin's figure appeared out of thin air.

"No way, this teleportation formation isn't very friendly to those without any cultivation, is it?" Bai Jin complained as he struggled to get up from the ground.

He stood up and stretched his aching body vigorously, thinking with lingering fear that he was almost crushed by the powerful spiritual energy of the formation.

A sinister growl was heard, and a group of wolves appeared from nowhere and surrounded Bai Jin.

Bai Jin's expression instantly grew serious. He quickly pulled out his sword from his space bag and gripped it tightly in his hand. He stared warily at the pack of ferocious wolves in front of him, muttering, "Is this really that unlucky?"

One of the wolves said to the taller wolf in front, "King, this man appeared here out of nowhere. He is an ordinary person." The wolf king stared at Bai Jin with his dark green eyes, as if judging whether he was really posing no threat.

The wolf king spoke in human language, his voice was low and intimidating. He looked at Bai Jin and said, "Why did you, a human, come to the Soul Forest?" His tone was full of confusion and vigilance.

Bai Jin was relieved to see that the Wolf King had no intention of attacking him immediately, and he quickly said, "I was transported here by the formation, and I didn't know this was the Soul Forest."

He continued, "By the way, why is this place called the Soul Forest?" Bai Jin's eyes were full of curiosity.

After hearing his words, the Wolf King's expression turned serious. He stared at Bai Jin with a sharp gaze and asked, "From the outside?"

Bai Jin was confused and wondered where he had been teleported to.
