The forbidden love between a ghost and a villain

The Northern Territory is a bitter and cold place that everyone in the cultivation world shudders at.

Located in the far north, it has thin spiritual energy and is covered with ice and snow all year round.

Like giant silver dragons crawling in the sky, the peaks pierce the clouds and shine dazzlingly in the sun.

At the foot of the mountain, dense primeval forests cover the rolling hills like a dark green velvet carpet.

Tall cedars and tall firs grow intertwined, with thick snow piled between their branches and leaves.

Beyond the forest, there is a completely different scene.

There is a barren frozen land with no grass growing.

Just bare rock and snow-covered ground.

This wild scene gave birth to many ancient monsters.

This place also became a place of exile for expelled monks.

No sect or force is willing to set foot in this place, allowing it to remain primitive and cruel.

Li Chengze and Shen Meng headed north, flying on their swords for several days.

Affected by the Northern Territory, the spiritual energy in his body was almost gone, and he could hardly support himself to continue flying with the sword.

The snowfield under my feet is boundless, as if there is no end.

Shen Meng looked at him worriedly, her eyes full of anxiety.

They couldn't land in the forest, as there were too many unknown monsters there.

With his current cultivation level, he would definitely become food for monsters.

Li Chengze gritted his teeth, holding on to the last bit of strength, and glanced down.

Suddenly, he was halfway up a snowy peak that towered into the clouds.

Found a hidden cave, the entrance of which was covered by snow.

Without caring too much, Li Chengze landed at the entrance of the cave.

As we entered the cave, a warm feeling hit us.

It turns out that this cave is located on the edge of a dormant volcano.

The geothermal heat makes the cave as warm as spring, which forms a sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside the cave.

"It seems we are lucky." Li Chengze looked around and said with relief.

"This place can be used as our base for cultivation for the time being."

Shen Meng nodded and looked at the environment inside the cave. There was a different world inside the cave.

The warm and moist air gently wrapped around Shen Meng's soul.

The top of the head is not completely closed, and you can see a small hollow like a skylight.

Occasionally snowflakes would fall in, but they would be melted into crystal droplets by the warm air in mid-air and disappear silently.

The soil under my feet was obviously affected by volcanic ash and showed a strange dark red color.

It emits a faint smell of sulfur, but is surprisingly fertile.

The surrounding stone walls are dotted with colorful crystal minerals, which flicker with a hazy light under the weak light coming in from above.

The entire cave is illuminated like a dream, warm and quiet.

Several unknown green plants grow tenaciously between the rocks, adding a touch of vitality to this slightly monotonous cave.

Shen Meng took out the flowerpot containing gold ingots from the storage bag and gently placed it on a flat ground in the cave.

Almost as soon as it touched the soil, Yuanbao couldn't wait to stick his body out of the flowerpot.

He shook his head towards Shen Meng and said softly:

"Thank you, Master!"

"Be good and practice hard. In a few years, you won't have to carry your original body around anymore."

Shen Meng smiled and touched Yuanbao's head.

"Yes, master!" Yuanbao responded happily, then took root in the soil and began to practice with concentration.

Shen Meng also laid out her only spiritual stone at the roots of Yuanbao's tree.

"Master, what should I do?" Jin Bao tilted his head and watched Shen Meng laying out the spirit stones for Yuanbao, and asked weakly.

According to Shen Meng's preference, Jinbao has now become the size of a palm.

Even though it's still a skeleton, it looks super cute.

"Jinbao, I remember that you seem to be able to create illusions and barriers!" Shen Meng asked, recalling the blood sea and maze illusions.

"Yes Master."

"Then go help us set up a barrier within the cave!

It would be best if it were a barrier that even a divine beast couldn't detect."

Shen Meng thought that this was the Northern Territory, and such a good cave must be inhabited by monsters.

So he ordered Jinbao to set up a barrier.

After all, Jinbao is an advanced puppet made by the stars, and his strength is comparable to that of a divine beast.

Shen Meng still didn't want Jin Bao to take action unless it was absolutely necessary.

That would be too conspicuous and would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, Master!" Jinbao flew to the cave entrance, waving his little paws.

One golden barrier after another enveloped the entire cave.

After settling everything, Shen Meng could finally calm down and practice.

She took out the black iron coffin given by the Sword Master and placed it in an empty space in the corner of the cave.

He opened the coffin and put all the soul stones he had collected and the soul stones given by Li Chengze into it.

Li Chengze watched Shen Meng's smooth operation and realized that Shen Meng's adaptability was even better than his.

I can't help but wonder what she's doing:

"Meng'er, what are you doing?"

"This is a treasure given by the Sword Master. I'll test it out first." Shen Meng explained with a smile.

"He said this is a cultivation space, and that cultivation inside is a hundred times faster than outside!"

Shen Meng turned to look at Li Chengze with a sincere look on her face: "Wait until I come out, then it's your turn to try."

"Yeah, I'll just listen to Meng'er."

Li Chengze was not idle either. Seeing Shen Meng practicing so actively, he also wanted to speed up his practice.

After Shen Meng closed the coffin, Li Chengze's eyes immediately turned cold.

Xiao Hei's voice sounded in his mind:

"Master, it's been several days, and I still haven't been able to break the seal.

Master, do you know who did this?"

"I roughly guess who did it." Li Chengze raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the black iron coffin.

"Master, this person is too evil. He actually sealed the master's..."

"Okay, stop talking."

When Xiao Hei told Li Chengze about the scene in his sea of ​​consciousness, he guessed that it was Shen Meng who did it.

Recently, my realm has begun to loosen. If the demonic energy had not been sealed, I probably wouldn't be able to cultivate spiritual energy so quickly.

But he didn't understand why Shen Meng did this.

For her, he would never use magic energy.

Could it be that she didn't believe he could do it?

Lying in the coffin full of soul stones, Shen Meng naturally had no idea what Li Chengze was thinking.

Now she only wants to cultivate to the level of Ghost Emperor, escape from the Three Realms, and not be chased by others all the time.

Thinking about how I could only run away with Li Chengze, I felt ashamed of myself.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a third time. I won’t do it again next time.

At this time, Jinbao also came back after setting up the barrier. He jumped onto the coffin.

Sitting cross-legged, his dark skull eyes stared at Li Chengze.

Without his master's permission, Jinbao would not easily appear in front of Li Chengze.

It reappeared half a quarter of an hour after it lost contact with its master.

His skeletal intuition told him that there was something wrong with the man in front of him.

He wanted to protect his master, fearing that the man in front of him would do something strange.

As Shen Meng thought, at night,

Sure enough, a monster came and searched back and forth outside the cave for the entrance.

Monster: "Where's the cave? It was there this morning, why can't I find it now?"

Tiandao: "Poor kid, you should move to another cave!"
