Neon lights flickered.
Music drifted lazily through the bar.
The bartenders looked bewildered, unsure what had happened.
"We're leaving."
Gu Qingshan rose and headed out of the bar.
The Crow and Yu Juan followed.
The three of them left the bar and walked along the deserted streets at night.
Yu Juan casually set up a soundproof barrier and said to Gu Qingshan, "Those evil ghosts came to kill you. You came through unscathed, while every last one of them disappeared. That's a huge problem."
Gu Qingshan said, "So that dragon kept urging me to hide."
The Crow asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I haven't decided yet," Gu Qingshan replied.
The Crow was a little surprised. "That doesn't sound like you. Evil ghosts never give up halfway, especially when it comes to killing. They've already lost some of their people, so they're even less likely to let this go."
Before Gu Qingshan could answer, Yu Juan said, "That girl just said the evil ghosts guarding the other side were probably hit by a dragon curse. They won't be a problem for a day."
"Even so, we need to think of something fast." The Crow shot him a meaningful look.
—He had taken part in Fei Yue's plan and knew what Gu Qingshan was really planning.
Gu Qingshan nodded. "I'm thinking."
Just then, Yu Juan suddenly said, "Ever since we came back from the Holy Spirit World, I've had this feeling that I'm about to advance. What about you two?"
Gu Qingshan and the Crow exchanged smiles.
"Colorful Rooster, my Direct Death Silver Crow has already advanced, and so has the Dragon King," the Crow said smugly.
Yu Juan froze, feeling rather dejected. "I thought I'd be the fastest. Anyway, did either of you gain any new abilities?"
