Chapter 162 – A good well, actually lost?


“Alright.” Li Hengsheng turned and left.

After returning to his tent, Li Hengsheng took out his token.

“It’s still a bronze one.”

Li Hengsheng thought that after killing so many members of the Ghost Clan the night before last, his bronze token might have turned into a silver one. However, seeing that it was still bronze, he couldn’t help but wonder how many merits were needed to upgrade it to silver?

He infused his Divine Soul into his token.

Li Hengsheng then saw his merit points.

A total of over sixty-seven thousand!

This number was quite astonishing, several times more than before. It seemed that if he wanted more merit points, he would have to venture into the forbidden area.

However, with the damned Longevity Sect around, he feared that entering the forbidden area would be a death sentence.

While sixty-seven thousand merit points were not few, they were not enough to buy even half a drop of dragon blood essence.

The road ahead was long and arduous!

In the evening, Li Hengsheng sat at the entrance of his tent, wiping his Chasing Immortal Spear.

He was preparing for the arrival of the night.

At this time, Zhou Jun returned from outside.

He was carrying quite a few things.

“Third Senior Brother, where have you been? What are these things?” Li Hengsheng curiously asked Zhou Jun.

“Wood,” Zhou Jun replied, “I also searched around and found quite a few good things in the Sky-Overturning Ghost City.”

Zhou Jun mysteriously pulled out an inconspicuous piece of black iron from the pile of junk, saying, “Look at this, it’s a piece of black spotted iron, very precious. Surprising, isn’t it?”

“And this.”

Zhou Jun picked up something that looked like a necklace from the pile of junk and said with a smile, “This is a jade pendant that someone left behind.”

“A jade pendant?” Li Hengsheng looked at the thing in Zhou Jun’s hand in surprise. What did this thing have to do with a jade pendant?

“I don’t know, only the string is left,” Zhou Jun said matter-of-factly.

Li Hengsheng was speechless.

The jade pendant was gone, what use was it to pick up the string? Could you use a sword tassel as a Divine Weapon?

“Recently, it’s getting harder and harder to find wood. I went out and only found this much, just enough for us to burn for one night,” Zhou Jun said, “But it’s almost over. In a few days, we can leave this ghost place.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hengsheng felt somewhat reluctant.

He could earn merit points here, but where could he earn merit points after leaving this place with his current cultivation level?

Unless he went to the Cloud Wilderness to kill ghosts.

But that was no different from seeking death.

So while he was still here, he would kill as many as he could.

Night fell.

Another massacre began.

Li Hengsheng did not venture into the forbidden area again, but stayed outside to kill members of the Ghost Clan. Lu Shiran wanted to enter the forbidden area, but was expressly forbidden by Lu Hanyan.

Furthermore, Lu Hanyan restricted Lu Shiran from seeking out Li Hengsheng.

In Lu Hanyan’s view, Li Hengsheng was not worthy of their Guanglan Palace, so she would never allow Lu Shiran to be with him.

She would limit their contact.

Upon learning that she couldn’t see Li Hengsheng, Lu Shiran was on the verge of tears, loudly questioning Lu Hanyan why two people in love couldn’t be together?

Upon learning that he couldn’t see Lu Shiran, Li Hengsheng was on the verge of laughing until he cried, finding for the first time that Lu Hanyan had a cute side.

After several days of continuous fighting.

Everyone was getting further and further away.

Li Changqing was always paying attention to the movements of the Longevity Sect. He felt that the Longevity Sect would definitely not give up so easily, so they would definitely appear.

However, by the morning of the twelfth day, the Longevity Sect still hadn’t appeared.

This made Li Changqing even doubt whether the Longevity Sect had really been scared away?

In the early morning, everyone had fallen into a deep sleep.

They had fought all night and were already exhausted.

Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai felt that the absence of the Longevity Sect was not necessarily a good thing. They might have a bigger plot.

“The last day is here, let’s hope nothing goes wrong,” Xue Qianbai said. Sixty disciples from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land had come, and now fifty-two were left. It was a good result.

The main reason was that during these twelve days, there were hardly any powerful opponents, which was completely different from usual.

On this last day, Xue Qianbai wanted to bring all the remaining disciples back safely.

“Anyway, it’s the last day. We just need to be careful.”

Li Changqing said seriously.

As all the disciples fell into a deep sleep, the entire Sky-Overturning Ghost City became incredibly quiet.

Everyone was conserving their energy, waiting for the final battle tonight. After tonight, they could leave the Ghost Devil trial and return to the outside world.

It was noon.Everyone woke up and had their meals as usual.

What surprised all the sects was that Zhanhe Residence and Dao Mountain Ancient Land were still serving meals.

This made them wonder how much food Zhanhe Residence and Dao Mountain Ancient Land had brought with them.

Not only food, but their clothes and pills were also plentiful, they were not lacking anything. This left many people scratching their heads, unable to figure out how they managed to do it.

“Last day, last day of eating this crap!”

At this moment, in a broken house near the outermost periphery, two men at the peak of the innate realm were with two young disciples. They were from the Wu family of Water City.

These two young disciples glared at the bun in their hands, which had already hardened into a rock.

They looked at it as if it was their enemy.

One of them said fiercely, “After I get out, I don’t want to eat buns for the rest of my life!”

The other disciple also muttered, “Me too, I want to eat meat, I want to eat a lot of meat, I also want to find that Changqing Trading Company, I want to buy their food.”

The two innate elders shook their heads with a bitter smile, their eyes also filled with a hint of helplessness.

Not to mention the disciples, even they were tired of eating.

Fortunately, it was the last day.

After they get out, they would find a place to have a few drinks. If there was such a thing next time, they wouldn’t want to come.

“What a pity.” One of the disciples said, “Xiaosong and the others can’t go back.”

Hearing this, the other disciple also fell silent, and the atmosphere fell into sadness. The Wu family had brought five disciples this time, but now only the two of them were left.

Gate of No Return.

At this time, Chen Guan was feeding his junior sister Yang Si.

Yang Si only had one arm left, but her life was saved. She had been hiding in the camp these days and had not gone out. Yang Si’s mood had also fallen to the bottom.

A young girl in the prime of her life had lost an arm.

When Yang Si woke up and found that this was not a dream, she didn’t speak for many days.

But Chen Guan didn’t dislike Yang Si, he still took care of her every day.

“Senior brother, I don’t want to eat.” Yang Si looked at the dried meat handed over, then turned her head to the other side, “You don’t have to feed me, you go do other things, I can do it myself.”

Ever since Yang Si lost an arm, Chen Guan felt Yang Si’s indifference towards him.

But Chen Guan didn’t give up, he still took care of Yang Si meticulously every day. Even if Yang Si was cold and didn’t talk to him, Chen Guan didn’t mind.

The more this happened, the more upset Yang Si felt.

In Yang Si’s heart, Chen Guan, such an excellent senior brother, should have a very good Dao companion.

To accompany him through his life.

To witness his glory.

Not a disabled waste like herself, who would only drag Chen Guan down in the future, without any use.

She lost an arm, and it was the hand she used to wield a sword.

Yang Si felt that her life was over.

So Yang Si didn’t want to drag Chen Guan down, she was cold to Chen Guan, hoping that Chen Guan would know the difficulties and retreat, and leave her.

Hearing Yang Si’s words, Chen Guan slowly put down the dried meat. Seeing Yang Si turn her head and not look at him, Chen Guan took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, then grabbed Yang Si’s other hand.

Then Chen Guan directly pulled Yang Si up, his face also darkened, “Come with me.”

Yang Si was startled, not knowing what Chen Guan wanted to do.

“Senior brother, let go of me, what are you doing, where are you taking me?” Being pulled by Chen Guan, the disciples of the Gate of No Return also subconsciously looked at the two.

Even the strong ones of the Gate of No Return showed surprised eyes, what happened?

Ignoring Yang Si’s struggle, Chen Guan pulled Yang Si directly onto the street.

“What are you doing!” Yang Si struggled hard against Chen Guan’s hand.

But how could she be stronger than Chen Guan?

Just when Yang Si thought that Chen Guan’s patience with her had reached its limit and wanted to teach her a lesson, Chen Guan suddenly shouted, “I, Chen Guan of the Gate of No Return, swear here in front of the seniors and peers of the Eastern Desolate Land!”

“I will only love Yang Si in my life, I, Chen Guan, will marry Yang Si as my wife in this life, from beginning to end, never abandon her. I hope all the seniors and peers will witness this for me! If I break my promise, let me, Chen Guan, be struck by lightning and die a terrible death.”

Chen Guan’s voice was loud and clear, almost everyone from all sects heard it.

Many people came out to watch the excitement.

“Oh my god, so handsome.” Some female disciples saw Chen Guan’s appearance and immediately thought Chen Guan was really handsome.

“If there is a boy willing to do this for me, I would have no regrets in this life.” A female disciple said enviously.”Ah, the youth of today…” An elderly man chuckled, reminiscing about his own youthful days.

At this moment, Chen Guan had become the center of attention.

On the side, Yang Si was already in tears.

She never expected that Brother Chen Guan would do such a thing.

Looking at Chen Guan, Yang Si could feel his deep affection for her.

Meanwhile, on a distant rooftop, Lu Shiran was eating and watching the scene, murmuring, “This seems interesting. I should have my husband do this for me in the future.”

“Hiss.” Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but shiver. What just happened? Why did he suddenly shiver?

Chen Guan looked at Yang Si, whose face was covered in tears, and directly embraced her, “Junior sister, I will treat you well.”

However, just as many disciples started to cheer, a sudden scream broke the atmosphere!

The sound was particularly piercing. Everyone followed the sound and found a disciple from a noble family running onto the street. He was in extreme pain. Before he could run a few steps, black smoke began to rise from his body, and then he fell to the ground.

There were no signs of life left.

“What’s going on!”

Everyone was greatly surprised.

How could a disciple just die like that?

“Not good, it’s poison!”

At this moment, three people ran out from the farthest house, two innate elders and a disciple from a noble family. They were the three from the Wu family.

They were just discussing what to eat after going out tomorrow, but who knew that things would change so suddenly.

One of their disciples had just died like this.

“Look over there!”

At this moment, someone pointed to the distance.

From all directions of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City, a purple mist was emerging!

The mist slowly rose and gradually moved towards where everyone was.

At this point, all the experts from various sects swiftly jumped onto the rooftops.

“Everyone, stay away from that thing. Don’t inhale the purple mist!”

At this moment, a figure appeared on the street in the center of the crowd!

It was Yan Zhentao from the Medical King Valley.

He looked solemnly at the purple mist in the distance.

All the sects and noble families near there quickly gathered in the middle.

“Brother Yan, what is that?” At this moment, Yu Fengxian from the Iron Knife Sect walked up to Yan Zhentao and asked.

“This is a miasma from the Cloud Wilderness.” Yan Zhentao said solemnly, “It originates from the Water Dream Marsh in the Cloud Wilderness, but I don’t know why this miasma would appear here.”

“Water Dream Marsh.”

Yu Fengxian’s face changed. The Water Dream Marsh in the Cloud Wilderness was an extremely dangerous place, known as a place even ghosts would not dare to enter.

Li Changqing and others were also looking at the purple mist. Li Changqing knew in his heart that it was likely the work of the Longevity Sect.

But what did the Longevity Sect want to do? Did they want to poison all the experts in the Eastern Desolate Land with this miasma?

Wasn’t that a bit of a joke?

This miasma was indeed powerful, but there were many Grandmasters among the experts present. To think that they could resist the Grandmasters and annihilate them with this miasma.

That was simply a pipe dream.

“Elder Yan, what should we do?” Someone quickly asked.

“Don’t panic.” Yan Zhentao said at this moment, “This miasma is indeed powerful, but as long as you don’t inhale it into your body, you’ll be fine. Besides, we from the Medical King Valley came prepared this time. We brought a lot of medicine.”

“Qingge.” Yan Zhentao called out to the distance.

“Uncle Yan.” Mu Qingge came over and took out a small bottle.

“This is our Medical King Valley’s Clear Spirit Liquid, which can detoxify all poisons. As long as we apply this to our noses, we’ll be fine.” Yan Zhentao continued, “But there are too many of us, it’s not practical to apply it to everyone.”

“Get some water. I’ll pour the Clear Spirit Liquid into the water, and then we can soak a cloth in it and wear it on our faces. That way, we won’t be poisoned.”

Yan Zhentao told everyone.

“Great idea!”

Some disciples quickly went to fetch water from the ancient well in the Sky-Overturning Ghost City.

In a short while, the water was ready, and everyone quickly lined up to soak their cloths and cover their mouths and noses.

Fortunately, the miasma was moving very slowly, giving everyone enough time.

Otherwise, it would be easy for most people to fall here.

“You’re not using it?” Xue Qianbai looked at Li Changqing.

He noticed that Li Changqing didn’t go to get a cloth.

“I don’t need it.”

Li Changqing was wearing a mask on his face. How could he cover his mouth and nose with a cloth?

If he took off his mask, wouldn’t his identity be exposed?Therefore, Li Changqing had no intention of dealing with it. After all, this miasma was of no use to him. The power of his Divine Soul spread around, forming a simple shield.

The miasma couldn’t touch him at all. After all, he was doing it secretly, and no one knew he was using his strength.

Xue Qianbai glanced at Li Changqing unexpectedly, but didn’t say much.

Like everyone else, they covered their faces with wet cloths.

After all, not everyone was like Li Changqing, who could use his strength infinitely. They had to conserve their innate true essence here.

At the same time, everyone became vigilant because the appearance of this miasma was very strange, and it seemed very likely that a great danger was approaching.

Everyone felt that compared to the danger that was about to come, this miasma was nothing more than an appetizer.

Slowly, the miasma enveloped everyone.

This purple miasma obstructed people’s vision, making it difficult to see clearly.

Fortunately, the Clear Spirit Liquid from the Medical King Valley was really useful, and no one was hurt by the miasma anymore.

“Be careful, we don’t know when other dangers will come. Be vigilant and beware of enemy attacks.”

At this time, some strong people were instructing their disciples.

These people were also on edge.

“Dashan, go fetch some more water.” At this time, an elder from the Iron Knife Sect instructed a disciple, “The cloth in your hand is about to dry out.”

“Yes!”

The disciple called Dashan quickly picked up the bucket and ran to fetch water.

The ancient well was not far from where they lived.

Dashan had fetched water several times before and was very familiar with the process.

However, a moment later, Dashan suddenly ran back, shouting with a ghost-like expression, “Elder, something’s wrong!”

“What’s so alarming?” The elder of the Iron Knife Sect asked with a frown.

“The well… the well is gone!”

Dashan said with a horrified face.

“What!” The elder was somewhat surprised, but still said, “Nonsense, how could the well run away? I think you just can’t see clearly and went to the wrong place.”

“It’s impossible, it’s definitely there.” Dashan insisted he was right.

At this time, Yu Fengxian didn’t say a word, he ran to the place where the well water was.

After a while, Yu Fengxian also came back, shaking his head and saying, “The well is really gone.”

This statement made all the strong people in the Eastern Desolate Land feel a chill.

A well that was fine before, suddenly disappeared?

Could a well run away on its own?

The disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land and Zhanhe Residence gathered together. Li Changqing was close to Li Hengsheng, worried about the danger, so he could take action in time.

Time passed bit by bit, everyone was vigilant about changes, but no one spoke.

At this time, they couldn’t run around randomly, it was easy to fall into a trap. What they needed to do now was to wait.

Wait for the changes.

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

The oppression was so uncomfortable that it seemed like they could hear their own heartbeat.

Finally, after two hours, the purple miasma gradually disappeared and vanished with the wind.

Everyone could finally see the scene in front of them clearly.

This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when the miasma completely disappeared, all the strong people in the Eastern Desolate Land were shocked by the scene in front of them.

At this moment, a huge imperial city appeared before their eyes!

The imperial city was majestic!

It was boundlessly vast.

Everyone in front of this imperial city was like a grain of sand in the sea. The momentum that permeated from this imperial city, even after countless years, was still so sharp.

It gave everyone a heavy sense of oppression.

“The imperial city of Sky-Overturning Ghost City…”

A strong man muttered in a daze.

The Sky-Overturning Ghost City was incredibly vast. Over the years, no one who participated in the Ghost Devil trial had ever reached the imperial city.

Thirteen days was not enough to touch the core of the imperial city.

Today, they actually saw the imperial city.

In this imperial city, there was once a legendary figure.

The Sky-Overturning Ghost Master!

A strong man who was invincible in an era.

A true land immortal!

Brothers, throw a couple of monthly tickets if you have them in your hands.

Some people die, but they are not completely dead…
