"When my brother finished showering and put on his big shorts to join us, those conversations were unbearable!"Young Master, are the things on Ghost Market any good""Who knows, I've never used it… But..."You can't even see the terrain here, how do you know you've been here before" I turned to look at my brother.

Everyone was summoned over. Xiaonie quickly jumped to my side, on guard. Shen Qingrui and the others also gathered around.

"It's just a feeling... I feel like I've been here before... Wasn't that sorceress said to have taken over a village in the Mi Jiang River Valley Could this be under Mu Wanchen's rule" my brother asked.

It is highly probable that if this were a parallel space of the Misty River, we should be able to find people from the Wuzhi Wangcheng.

To be honest, I only have a superficial understanding of the Mekong River Basin. I once visited a village of corpse-worshipers and took a boat upstream to reach the magnificent and densely populated City of the Spirit Kings.

I have no idea how large the entire Mekong River basin is or how many secluded villages there are.

The Ghost Princess previously used Qi Ke Xin's body to come here. She brought ghosts to forcefully occupy a village and clashed with Mu Wan Chen. Her pistol wounded Mu Wan Chen, thus forging a feud between them.

Later, Jiang Qiyun and Mu Wanchen had a secret conversation. Mu Wanchen said he was going to make some preparations...presumably to restrain and subdue these ghosts that had been wandering for hundreds of years.

"Let's get out of here quickly. We should leave this valley, as it's likely close to where the Ghost Princess resides. If we're only dealing with a few vengeful spirits, that's manageable, but if she has other means at her disposal, we'll be outnumbered. Let's get out of here first; perhaps the pursuing soldiers will also arrive by teleportation." I turned to Shen Qingru and the others.

Xiao Nie sniffed the air and frowned, "…This is a teleportation portal, there must be guards... You're saying this now, it seems a little late..."

Huh

As I heard it say that, goosebumps erupted all over my body. In the grayish fog, a few points of eerie green light began to flicker and grow brighter.

These deceased individuals have become zombie husks, and they are all hundreds of years old ghosts. Even if we use the "Lìyù Shōuxié" ritual, it might not be able to handle them instantly…" Xiaonie warned me.

I looked around, those emerald lights were will-o'-the-wisps, flickering up like a path leading to the graveyard.

I've dealt with these ancient ghosts before. When I used the soul chains of the prison of evil to bind them, they would struggle desperately, even breaking free.

My cultivation hasn't reached an absolute advantage yet, so I can't fight them head-on.

"Brother...do you have any way" I looked at my brother with eyes full of reliance.

My brother frowned deeply, his face grave as he said: "According to my many years of experience in the world, it's not easy to make a big commotion near the other party's lair... At this time... running is the right thing to do!"

Huh

My brother, having gauged the direction, grabbed my wrist and ran forward.

Xiaonie jumped forward and ran ahead of us, leading the way.

My brother yelled back, "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor by heaven. You guys run for your lives! Whoever gets separated don't expect me to come save them! If you don't want to die, run faster! It's safe ahead!"

"...How did you know it was safe ahead" I asked, my breath coming in short gasps.

"Just giving them something to look forward to," my brother replied.

Alright, alright... I ran while keeping an eye on the terrain around me and told Xiao Nie, "Run towards where there's water! We might encounter Mu Wanchen's people near the river!"

Otherwise, running all over the place blindly, who knows how vast it is!

How powerful is the Great Shaman King exactly I have no idea, but Mu Wanchen, this straightforward humanoid weapon, seems kind enough. If he knew we were fleeing in disarray, he should come to our rescue, right

In the valley, corpses lay scattered everywhere, bones piled high. Villagers slain by the Ghost Princess's band were haphazardly dumped here, along with numerous animal carcasses, making it a veritable charnel house.

This kind of place, if left unattended for too long, will breed corpse rot and miasma, becoming a place that no living person can enter.

We were running out of breath, and had to dodge the rotting corpses controlled by ghosts. It felt like we'd stepped into a zombie game.

My brother had the乾坤 法劍, and I was holding the 紫霄如意. These two things ward off evil and break demons. We hacked down several zombies covered in rotten flesh until I saw a familiar color and couldn't help but stop.

"What's wrong Xia Qiao! Snap out of it!" my brother shouted.

"That... that clothing belongs to a resident of the Witch King's City..." I pointed at the corpse lying on the ground not far away.

The corpse had swelled into a giant, lying in a big "V" shape. Its skin was black and green, with swollen limbs, a distended stomach, and a head that looked like a balloon.

The body had several large bumps, its lips were turned outwards, and its tongue was also sticking out. It looked horrifying!

His clothes were bunched up by his swollen body, he... uh... was completely exposed from the waist down.

A ghost possessed this corpse, he moved sluggishly, his legs seemed to be awkwardly bulging with something between them like two balls.

"Damn! This sight could make you puke for half a year!" My brother swung his hand, cleaving through a skeletal remains, and pulled me away. "Don't look anymore! Such a disgusting scene, you wouldn't be afraid of becoming frigid after seeing this"

Ahem...

"I, I'm just worried about Mu Wanchen! I'm afraid the Wuzhuang Mountain City will suffer heavy casualties..."

"Find him later, there's no rush—"

As soon as my brother spoke, a bolt of lightning struck the rotting corpse of the giant watcher, exploding like a water balloon. The stench of decay filled the air!

A stench hit us, and we wrinkled our noses in disgust. We were sure we'd absorbed some of the poison from the corpses.

"Are you crazy!" My brother roared at Shen Qingrui.

Shen Qingrui retorted unconvinced: "What use is such a disgusting corpse What are we keeping it for It's still so ruffian even after death! Absolutely repulsive!"

"Xiao San'er is still acting innocent! Get out, get out! Don't cause trouble for me!" My brother cursed as he ran.

He suddenly asked, "Xiao Qiao, last time when you sent Qin'er to find the antidote, you scolded Mu Wanchen. He heard it, why not scold him again"

Still scolding

Last time I called him a scumbag, he got back at me by making Jiang Qiyun jealous on purpose.

Xiao Nie suddenly stopped in his tracks, baring his teeth and looking at the exit of the mountain valley ahead.

Look at its puffed-up fur, could there be a strong enemy ahead

"Hooo... Hooo..." a guttural roar, like the sound of a beast with black, viscous saliva, arose.

At the exit of the valley ahead, there were a dozen rotting, flesh-hungry dogs, their eyes fixed on us as we approached.

"Little Ni, quickly use your handsomeness to conquer this pack of dead dogs!" My brother said hurriedly.

Xiao Nie frowned and said, “These things are all poisoned. I can’t bite them! Let me carry you across—”"You come with the land official first, I'll go ahead."Okay, okay, that's best.Even without me, he could let go and move freely. Watching him disappear before my eyes, a sense of calm settled in my he...
