Seeing Su Chen nod, the young man's eyes widened.

After a long while, he took several steps back in disbelief and looked at the man carefully.

"Did you take some kind of immortality elixir?"

"How can you not get old?"

Then, squinting, he nodded in realization: "You've mutated!"

Su Chen laughed.

The man smiled and shook his head.

“My younger generation has never been very clear-headed, unlike his mother in that respect.”

Before the young man could get angry, he looked at the tenement building and raised his eyebrows.

"The yin energy and evil aura are very strong."

Su Chen nodded: "A Xuan Master has already gone in."

"Shall we go in and have a look around?"

"I think I smell a familiar scent."

Su Chen: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

The young man wanted to go with them, but was stopped.

"Aren't you moving?"

"Go back quickly."

youth:"……"

"Moving won't make a difference in a little time."

"Aren't you going shopping? Can't I go shopping?"

Su Chen chuckled, while the man shook his head: "Fine, if you want to see it, then come along. Just don't wet your pants later."

"Me? Wet your pants? You're kidding!"

After finishing his sentence, the young man took the lead and walked forward with a swagger.

As soon as he entered the tenement building, he paused, seeing that it was dark and dusty with cobwebs everywhere.

"Master Su, no one has lived here for a long time."

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, it should be."

He looked down and saw a relatively clean path worn into the ground, with blurry shoe prints along the side.

“I remember there were quite a lot of people here when I was a child. Then they said they were going to do something and everyone moved away. We used to sneak here to play cards, but we left after a short while because we felt cold.”

As he spoke, the young man rubbed the back of his hands and chuckled dryly, "When I said it was cold, it really did get goosebumps~"

Neither Su Chen nor the man laughed; they simply watched him quietly.

The young man's smile froze.

"Master Su, you, you, you're so capable, you won't get into any trouble, right?"

Su Chen didn't answer.

The young man suddenly felt a chill rise from his tailbone, and his limbs seemed to be sealed shut, unable to move. He froze for a moment, his eyes filled with terror, and then he jumped up: "Mommy! Help!"

Seeing him dart away, the man finally smiled.

"So timid!"

Su Chen comforted him, "Being timid is good. When you encounter problems, you know to seek help instead of trying to tough it out."

He then made an inviting gesture, and the two of them walked together toward the stairwell.

After walking only a few steps, I could hear low murmurs in my ears.

The two continued walking up the steps without stopping.

At this moment, in a small room on the third floor.

Xia Liwei frowned as he watched the pointer on the compass in his palm spin incessantly, like a headless fly: "I can't find the direction."

Yu Shengjie scoffed, "If you can't find it, then put away your broken compass. It's all rooms, just four walls. I don't believe we can't find our way out by exploring little by little."

Gong Zi reminded Du Jingnian from behind, "It might still be a domain; a crude method probably won't get us out."

Yu Shengjie, whose silk threads had split into four and were extending out to explore, was somewhat frustrated upon hearing this: "If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, what do we do? Are we just going to wait here to die?"

Xia Liwei reminded him, "Don't get angry. Being agitated will only affect our thinking."

Du Jingnian nodded: "That's right, let's think about it carefully, there must be some flaws. Don't rush, take it slowly."

Su Chen and the man arrived on the third floor and looked at one of the rooms.

"Aren't you going to save them?" the man asked Su Chen.

Su Chen shook his head: "Let them gain more experience. Let's go up and watch the excitement."

"know?"

Su Chen nodded and didn't hide anything: "One of them is practically my apprentice, but his abilities are currently a bit lacking."

He was far from being bad; he wasn't even at the entry level of a Xuan Master. Among the four, he was at the very bottom.

Fortunately, both Xia Liwei and Yu Shengjie were quite protective of Du Jingnian, and even if there was danger, they could hold on for a long time.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, the man casually reached out and grabbed the boy who was making faces and sticking out his tongue. The boy was stunned for a moment, then quickly screamed in terror.

More souls surrounded him, and after discovering the merit on Su Chen's body, they observed him curiously for a while. Then, someone shouted, "Go!"

The group of spirits immediately rushed towards Su Chen.

Su Chen flipped his hand, and the Vajra Bell appeared in his palm. With a slight shake, an extremely cold bell sound resonated, causing the souls to freeze for a moment.

By the time they recovered, Su Chen and the man had already gone up to the fifth floor.

The boy, whose throat was being choked, finally realized that he had met his match and began to struggle desperately.

"Let go, let me go, let go."

Sixth floor.

The man finally let go and looked at the boy indifferently.

What exactly is going on inside this building?

The boy rubbed his neck, didn't answer him, but instead questioned, "How could you grab me?"

"They can't see me at all; they just walk right through me when they see me."

The man grinned and waved his hand in front of the boy: "Because I specialize in eating little devils."

The boy froze, and then his soul began to tremble.

"Mom, Mom, someone wants to eat Xiao Bei!"

"Help!"

He tried to run away, but the man pulled him back.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't know you could see me. I'm sorry, Uncle. Please let me go."

Man: "Call me Grandpa~"

"grandfather!"

"Hey, not bad." The man ruffled the boy's hair, then pulled out a small yellow croaker with his other hand and handed it to him. "Here you go!"

"Gold?"

"dislike?"

"I love it, Mom! I have gold now! I can make you a gold necklace!"

The boy held the small yellow croaker in his hand and quickly leaped upwards, shouting as he did so.

Su Chen exchanged a glance with the man, smiled, and went upstairs again.

Seventh floor.

A faint stench of decay lingered.

Su Chen raised his hand, and a dozen or so corpses quickly floated out of a room.

The commotion was quite loud, and some spirits were so frightened that they floated up, crying out, "There's a dead person! No, don't come any closer!"

She was stopped by the spirit: "What are you shouting for? How many years have you been dead yourself?"

"I didn't see it when I died!"

……

Su Chen escorted the corpses out of the tenement building before looking around and remarking, "There are quite a few of them."

The man nodded: "It seems that almost all of them are on this floor, while the top floor is empty."

As he was about to continue upwards, he lifted his foot slightly, and almost all the spirits blocked the staircase.

"Hey, don't go up there, you'll die if you do."

"Do you feel a chill run down your spine? Your ancestors are warning you, don't go up there to your death!"

"Stop arguing with him, just knock him out and lock him in the room downstairs."

"Yes, at least they can live a little longer that way. If they know what's good for them, they might leave."

Su Chen understood.

Du Jingnian and his group were trapped on the third floor. Actually, they wanted to go up to the eighth floor, but they were all trapped by the others. No one knows how they were trapped in that room.

So much yin energy and malevolent aura...

Su Chen glanced at the densely packed souls on the stairs. Although each soul was quite stable, it wasn't enough to deal with Yu Shengjie and Gong Zi, was it?

Just then, a spirit cried out.

"Old Yu, Old Yu, you've caught two more! Come quick!"
