The group of wandering cultivators they were following turned out to be demons in disguise.

The group of people led by Zhao Yue seemed to have a close relationship with the group of demons disguised as independent cultivators. They seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with each other. They were guarding the miasma-filled area deep in the Ailao Mountains.

Fortunately, the cultivation of the demons and evil cultivators in the human world has been basically sealed. If they use it forcibly, they will be punished by heaven. That’s why they didn’t realize that they were being followed by Chu You and others.

The other party had more people and more power, so Chu You and others did not dare to act rashly. They were secretly trying to find out what they were up to.

But the other party just stayed there without moving, doing anything, and not talking much.

Half a month passed in one go.

Ji Chen imitated the gestures Chu You had taught him:

"It's not a solution to just keep guarding it, right?"

Chu Youhui gestured: "We have to defend it, there must be a ghost here!"

In her previous life, when she was on a mission to guard a target, sometimes she would stay there for a month or two, and she was used to it.

For the past half month, they have been staying in the same place for almost a month, and their eating and drinking habits are kept simple.

Given Chu You's usual crazy personality, Ji Chen and Shen Tu Yin were afraid that she would get suffocated.

Unexpectedly, she was the most patient one.

They discovered that when they thought they understood Chu You, she would always reveal a new side of herself that was unknown to them.

In the reincarnation mirror!

While protecting Shentu Yin and arguing with the major sect leaders!

currently!

Just like opening a blind box, there will always be surprises, accidents... shocks!

Chu You had no idea what the two were thinking. He stared intently at Zhao Yue and the others and discovered that the group of Zhao family members headed by Zhao Yue suddenly started to move.

They lit several bonfires according to a strange formation.

The others surrounded Zhao Yue and began to kneel down, muttering words they could not understand.

Zhao Yue stood in the center, with her head tilted back and her hands outstretched towards the sky.

The miasma around them was getting thicker and thicker, making it impossible to see their situation clearly.

Chu You wanted to get closer, but Shen Tu Yin held him down and quietly wrote on his palm:

"I can see and hear clearly, so there's no rush."

Chu You was shocked and pulled Ji Chen, who was about to get up on the other side, and wrote the same message on his hand.

Ji Chen almost broke down. Is his third senior brother really a human?

The miasma was so strong that they couldn't even see each other clearly from such a close distance, but he could actually see and hear so far away?!

Third Senior Brother must be a fake alchemy cultivator!

About a cup of tea later, when the miasma gradually dissipated, a group of people came from afar. They were the seven people who came to look for Jiang Xinbai.

Zhao Yue quickly asked his men to work together with those wandering demon cultivators to disrupt all the things that had just been burning, and then covered them with branches and leaves around them, and went to meet them.

After some communication, Zhao Yue told them that this place was just a special geographical location that caused the miasma to surround it, and there was nothing unusual. Then he took everyone, including his direct disciples, out of Ailao Mountain.

During this period, Jiang Xinbai and Yelang specifically asked Zhao Yue and others whether they had seen "Lin Xiner" and others, but to no avail.

Only after making sure they were far away did Chu You dare to move, and he and Ji Chen looked at Shen Tu Yin impatiently.

Shentu Yin was stared at by two pairs of bright eyes, feeling both amused and helpless:

"Zhao Yue, under the direction of someone unknown, reached an agreement with a group of demons disguised as independent cultivators. He was to go to the Southern Kingdom's palace to reunite with his own people. He intended to control the Southern Kingdom's imperial power, join the conflict between Dongchen and Beixiang, and initiate war against Xiliang Kingdom."

Chu You: "They want to unify the world?"

Shentu Yin shook his head: "They are not interested in the imperial power of mortals. It seems that they just want to cause more killings."

Kill?

Chu You looked again at the source of the miasma that they had covered up, but still found nothing unusual.

Quietly, he gathered the star-like divine power in his dantian into his eyes.

When I saw it, I was shocked!

When did so many ghosts appear in this forest?!

Flying in the air, crawling on the ground, jumping around...

Almost all of them died in an accident. Some had their heads missing, some were missing arms and legs, and some were stabbed so their intestines fell out...

Most of them are men.

Moreover, they were all wearing the clothes of soldiers or officers.

There are also a few who look like refugees fleeing, and some who go to Ailao Mountain to "hunt for treasure".

What was even more bizarre was that they seemed to be drawn towards the source of the miasma by some special force.

Chu You seemed to understand something:

"Zhao Yue and the others want to bring disaster to the human world and create more vengeful spirits!"

"how do you know?"

Ji Chen was still wondering whether his father, the emperor, was in danger, but when he heard Chu You say this out of the blue, he became even more curious.

Chu You tried to tell them the truth:

"I said I saw many souls around me who died in battle, or who died fleeing famine, or who died searching for treasure. Do you believe me?"

Shentu Yin's expression was stern. Ji Chen instinctively moved closer to Chu You. His two long legs began to tremble like cooked noodles, and his voice trembled even more:

"W-where?"

"They're everywhere. There's one crawling under your feet."

Chu You spoke the truth, but Ji Chen was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hugged Chu You's waist with one hand and walked out:

"This place is too weird. Let's go out and talk about it."

"and many more!"

Chu You really didn't expect that he would actually "hold" himself and run away when he was scared. He patted his arm:

"I have to go to the source of the miasma. Those souls are very resentful, and that's where they all go."

"That's where they're all going. Let's not go there."

Ji Chen was really scared, because when he was a child, his mother always loved to tell him ghost stories to scare him!

When Chu You first met Chu Yue, he knew that he was afraid of ghosts, so he patted his arm to comfort him:

"Otherwise, you wait here, and Third Senior Brother and I will go over and take a look?"

"do not want!"

There were ghosts all around him. Although he couldn't see them, he was even more scared because he was alone!

"Then you two stay here and I'll go alone?"

“Not even that!”

How could Ji Chen be at ease? Shentu Yin would not agree either.

In the end, the three of them went together.

Using light skills, he walked inside for another half a day before he vaguely saw a large black hole about two meters in radius with a dark green halo.

There was a gloomy and evil aura all around.

"There's an evil aura!"

Yun Banjian Kongming's voice sounded from Chu You's consciousness.

It was pretty much what she guessed:

"What do evil spirits usually do with these vengeful spirits?"

Yun Ban saw that the other party seemed to be hesitant for a while, and then slowly replied:

"Evil spirits have always had no bottom line. They only care about the purpose and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goal.

Absorbing evil spirits could be for the purpose of strengthening oneself, or it could be for some other more sinister purpose."

"What will happen if I barge in rashly?"

“It’s a dead end!”
