After Zhang You and the Old Daoist left the vicinity of Fahua Temple, they plunged headfirst into the dense fog.
Following the paper crane, they knew that on the other side of this black fog lay a cluster of buildings.
These were the houses they had seen right after entering the Ghost Domain.
They had been separated by the black fog and lost their trace.
According to the Old Daoist, this region of black fog was called the Burial Ground of Yin.
It was a large-scale 'Ghost Wall' formed over many years by a place with concentrated Yin energy. While within it, one's position was constantly shifting!
"If the paper crane gets eaten, can we not get out?"
Zhang You crushed a strange creature resembling a four-unlike-anything in his hand, absorbing a wisp of blue-white energy.
Along the way, he had also obtained some blue-white energy from the Old Daoist.
This kind of strange creature was called a Mist Ghost, an evil entity born from the Burial Ground of Yin absorbing the resentment of some living beings, and it belonged to a type of Yin Soul!
Not long after they entered, they were ambushed by Mist Ghosts, and in a moment of carelessness, the guiding paper crane was damaged!
And the two of them were lost!
"If we're lucky, we can catch a Charm Ghost and then we can get out!"
The Old Daoist had no better solution for the moment!
Of course, there was another method: relying on their powerful strength to directly blast apart the Burial Ground of Yin, and then they could escape.
But obviously, they didn't have that ability for the time being!
After dealing with several more ambushes by Mist Ghosts, they still hadn't found any sign of a Charm Ghost.
Charm Ghosts were a special type of Mist Ghost, possessing extremely strong mental power and appearing in very small numbers.
They could cause people to hallucinate without their knowledge and incite inner rage, turning loved ones against each other.
Charm Ghosts could also summon other Mist Ghosts, and they were skilled in evasion, with top-notch escape techniques.
Coupled with their naturally timid and cautious nature, they were usually very difficult to catch.
Most importantly, controlling one could help find a way out of the Burial Ground of Yin!
They didn't know how much time had passed!
Suddenly, a Mist Ghost flashed past them rapidly, leaving behind only a chilling laughter.
Judging solely by the pitch, it sounded like a little boy's voice.
Moreover, the Old Daoist had clearly seen the opponent's appearance, and it was indeed a Charm Ghost!
But it didn't show itself again after that.
After dealing with dozens more waves of Mist Ghosts, both of them began to show signs of fatigue.
The Old Daoist held a stack of talismans in his left hand and a spirit sword in his right, with several talismans protecting his body.
"Give me a few talismans to protect myself too!"
Zhang You couldn't help but complain as he watched the Old Daoist fully armed.
"Do you need them?"
The Old Daoist didn't look back.
"Of course! I'm so young, I haven't even gotten married yet! I don't want to die early! Hurry, hurry, give me a couple of talismans to play with, the kind that have destructive power when thrown!"
Zhang You patted the Old Daoist's shoulder.
"Here!"
The Old Daoist lowered his head, took out a few talismans, then turned around and looked up.
"Holy crap!"
"Monster, die!"
Zhang You and the Old Daoist were both startled by each other's appearance and attacked simultaneously.
Zhang You reached out his right hand towards the Old Daoist's neck.
The Old Daoist casually threw a talisman from his hand, and his spirit sword also thrust forward without hesitation.
"What are you?"
Zhang You's blood energy erupted, resisting the talisman's attack. In his left hand, he gripped the spirit sword, while his right hand broke through the talisman's defense and grabbed the Old Daoist by the neck.
He looked at the other's rotten face and chuckled.
"I was about to ask you what you are?"
The Old Daoist also looked at the other's skinless face, and dozens more talismans rose behind him, shooting towards Zhang You.
As Zhang You applied force, the Old Daoist had already transformed into a paper effigy.
And around him, more than ten talismans formed a formation, restricting his movements.
"Die!"
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
The Old Daoist held a Mysterious Thunder Talisman and attacked Zhang You.
"Good timing!"
Zhang You's blood energy surged, and he broke free from his restraints, throwing a punch at the Mysterious Thunder Talisman.
"Bang!"
After a loud explosion, both Zhang You and the Old Daoist were sent flying backward, lying motionless on the ground.
"Hee hee hee..."
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a Yin Soul drifted out from the depths of the black mist.
A single eye occupied two-thirds of its head, its hair was sparse, it had no legs, and its round body had two arms.
"Hee hee hee..."
It drifted around for a long time and then sent out other Mist Ghosts to take a look.
After repeatedly confirming there was no danger, it finally chose to approach the Old Daoist.
It had witnessed the entire battle and felt that Zhang You was more dangerous.
Just as it lowered its head to absorb the Old Daoist's essence, the surroundings suddenly lit up, enveloping everything.
The Old Daoist unleashed a talisman from his hand, shooting it towards the Charm Ghost.
The Charm Ghost reacted extremely quickly and dodged it.
"This is a Charm Ghost?"
Zhang You also climbed up from the ground, looking at the Yin Soul floating in the air.
Earlier, when the Old Daoist discovered the Charm Ghost, he had sent a telepathic message to Zhang You, asking him to cooperate in a play!
"Ah..."
The Charm Ghost panicked when it realized it was trapped. Suddenly, it let out a piercing scream.
"Quick, capture it! It's calling for other Mist Ghosts!"
The Old Daoist's expression changed, and the light screen began to shrink.
Although Mist Ghosts were not very strong individually, they were numerous, making them troublesome to deal with.
The Charm Ghost's cries became increasingly mournful and sharp, and the surrounding Yin energy began to gather.
"You go capture the Charm Ghost, I'll handle the Mist Ghosts outside!"
Zhang You walked out of the light screen, waiting for the Mist Ghosts' arrival.
"Waga waga... gugu..."
Soon, more and more strange cries filled the air. As far as the eye could see, there were countless Mist Ghosts of various, bizarre shapes, all in spirit form, lunging towards them with bared teeth and claws.
They stretched as far as the eye could see!
"Old Daoist, hurry up! There are quite a lot of these things!"
Zhang You was already at full strength after his recovery.
"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"
His blood energy erupted, and he went all out. A tiger's roar that echoed through the heavens swept outwards.
The Mist Ghosts in its path exploded instantly.
Streams of blue-white energy flowed into Zhang You's body.
The dense fog around them thinned considerably.
"Four Symbols: White Tiger: Shatter Void Hammering the Ground!"
Seeing the Mist Ghosts around him charging fearlessly, Zhang You concentrated all his blood energy into his right fist and slammed it into the ground, creating a deep crater.
The shockwave swept outwards again, collecting another large wave of blue-white energy.
At the same time, the light screen behind them disappeared, and the Old Daoist had captured the Charm Ghost.
He looked at the sky-obscuring Mist Ghosts outside and twitched his lips.
Zhang You unleashed a few more sonic blasts, gaining several more waves of energy.
He felt that he was getting closer to the next Great Body Tempering.
"Let's go! If we delay any longer, those big guys are going to come out!"
The Old Daoist called out, took out another spirit sword, reinforced his defenses with talismans, controlled the Charm Ghost, and charged in a direction.
Zhang You repelled the Mist Ghosts behind him and gained a large amount of blue-white energy.
Then, he followed behind the Old Daoist and charged out.
They killed a large number of Mist Ghosts along the way, and as they were about to break free from the Burial Ground of Yin.
Suddenly, a massive figure appeared in front of them. With its thick arms, it scooped up a large number of Mist Ghosts, grabbing them in its palms, and then directly threw them into its mouth!
And behind them, another big guy had already arrived.
They were caught between a pincer attack!
