Daoist, There Are Ghosts Here

Chen Yu and the other two continued exploring the ruins. After finally making it here, they couldn't possibly return empty-handed!

After advancing another li or so, black mist suddenly filled the air, and dust billowed everywhere. As if recalling something, Chen Yu shouted, "Quick, take out your magical artifacts!"

As he spoke, Chen Yu had already taken out his Alms Bowl. Ye Fan also produced a bronze lamp, while Zhang Sanfeng took out a bronze plaque. The three poured Divine Power into their Buddhist artifacts, and the three treasures shone, illuminating the area around them. By then, dozens of emaciated dried corpses had surrounded them.

Suddenly, Ye Fan seemed to sense some danger. He swiftly poured Divine Power into the bronze lamp and raised it toward the direction from which he sensed the threat.

Boom!

A streak of green light collided with the bronze lamp, producing a deafening roar.

Failing in its first strike, the green light instantly changed direction and lunged at Chen Yu beside him. Chen Yu likewise poured Divine Power into the Alms Bowl and fiercely smashed it at the green light.

Perhaps the green light had strengthened its attack, or perhaps Chen Yu's Alms Bowl was inferior to Ye Fan's bronze lamp. The green light blasted the Alms Bowl aside, struck Chen Yu, entered his body, and burrowed toward his Sea of Consciousness.

"Chen Yu!" Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng were both horrified, but there was nothing they could do. They could only pray that the Chat Group would protect Chen Yu.

At the same time, Chen Yu felt his thoughts grow sluggish, but it lasted only an instant before he returned to normal. At the same time, he felt as though he had taken some miraculous tonic. His mind became clear, and the range of his Divine Sense expanded several times over.

Moreover, some memory fragments had appeared in his mind, including the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor.

Chen Yu first told Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng that he was fine. Then, his consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness. He had to figure out what had just happened.

"Little Black, did you see what happened just now?"

"Master, I only saw a streak of green light rush in. Just as I was about to activate my devouring power, it suddenly exploded and merged into this Sea of Consciousness."

It suddenly exploded?

Was it because of the Chat Group, or the book within his Sea of Consciousness?

He did not dare look up either, afraid that he would faint. The place he was in was far from safe, and the consequences of passing out here were impossible to predict.

He stopped dwelling on it and withdrew his Divine Sense from his Sea of Consciousness.

This had been a huge harvest. That was the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor. Even if he gained nothing else afterward, it would not matter.

Chen Yu and the other two continued pressing deeper. After traveling an unknown number of li, they stopped halfway up a mountain and watched the Demon Emperor Tomb from afar.

They did not dare go any farther. Whether it was the Desolate Ancient Savage Beast resembling a Qilin or the Nine-Headed Green Flood Dragon, either could easily tear them apart. Yet those Desolate Ancient Savage Beasts were merely being used to pull carriages.

Suddenly, a terrifying fluctuation came from ahead. Even though Chen Yu and the others were standing far enough away, they were still affected. Without hesitation, all three immediately retreated.

"Damn it, we're too weak. We can't even watch the show."

Chen Yu complained as he retreated. Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng felt the same way. Only after withdrawing far enough did they stop.

Boom!

A tremendous roar came from the direction of the Demon Emperor Tomb. Major figures had begun attacking the Demon Emperor Tomb. Dazzling divine light pierced the heavens and earth, while boundless demonic power battered the surroundings.

Even Chen Yu and the others, who had already retreated far away, felt their hearts pound with fear. Those standing closer naturally had it even worse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Major figures struck again and again, forcefully confronting the Demon Emperor Tomb. Endless divine light and terrifying demonic power swept in every direction, making it seem as though the entire world were trembling.

Boom!

Another powerful attack tore open a corner of the Demon Emperor Tomb. Streaks of multicolored light shot in every direction. Looking carefully, one would discover that they were weapons.

The major figures all reached toward the sky, hoping to intercept those sentient weapons, but some still slipped through and flew into the distance.

Whoosh!

A streak of multicolored light landed on the stone wall behind Chen Yu and the others. Seeing this, Chen Yu did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately rushed over.

Without even looking at what it was, he lightly touched it with his finger and sent it to the Chat Group Mall, then quickly returned to Ye Fan's side.

"Haha, this Daoist's luck has finally turned! I actually came across a sentient weapon." Just then, Duan De, who had abandoned them earlier, flew over on a rainbow streak.

Upon seeing Chen Yu and the other two, Duan De immediately wanted to turn and flee. But when he thought of the sentient weapon behind them, he forcibly restrained the urge to leave.

Duan De landed in front of the three and said, "Three brothers, where did you go earlier? I fought a mysterious existence in a great battle and only defeated it after tremendous effort. When I turned around, you were gone. I thought you had met with disaster."

Hearing that, Chen Yu silently cursed Duan De's ancestors in his heart.

Chen Yu revealed a delighted expression and said, "Daoist, we've been searching everywhere for you! We nearly lost our lives looking for you. You said you would show us the world, but you ended up losing yourself."

"Another streak of light just landed behind us. We were about to see what it was. Daoist, would you like to come with us?"

Ye Fan and Zhang Sanfeng said nothing beside them, quietly watching the two try to outplay each other.

Duan De was delighted inwardly, but his expression remained calm. "Fine. This Daoist will go take a look with you."

After a while, the four stared silently at the empty hole before them. Chen Yu muttered softly, "Could some great expert have retrieved it from afar?"

Duan De rolled his eyes wildly. What sort of great expert would be so bored that he would retrieve a sentient weapon from afar?

Moreover, Duan De suspected that one of the three before him had used some unimaginable method to take the treasure. Yet he could not find the treasure on Chen Yu or the other two.

With the sentient weapon gone, Duan De wanted to slip away.

"You're too weak. Wait here while I go look for other treasures."

With that, he shot away in a flash, not giving Chen Yu and the others any chance to speak.

Only a quarter of an hour later, another streak of multicolored light flew over. Chen Yu and the others, who had not yet left the stone wall, swiftly dodged aside. The light plunged straight into the rock face.

This time, Chen Yu could not touch it and send it to the Mall, because the treasure had sunk deep into the mountain.

However, Chen Yu was not slow. Divine Power surged from his fingertips as he swiftly cut through the stone, retrieved the treasure inside, and found that it was a fan. Chen Yu did not inspect it closely and uploaded it to the Mall again.

"Hahaha..." Fatty Duan's laughter rang out as he landed steadily beside Chen Yu and the other two. Smiling with narrowed eyes, he said, "Three brothers, where is the sentient weapon? Hurry and take it out so this poor Daoist can have a look."

Let him have a look? Wouldn't that be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—never to return?

Chen Yu shook his head and spread his hands. "Daoist, you must be joking. To be honest, I also wanted to see what a sentient weapon looked like, but I never got the chance."

Duan De quietly looked at Chen Yu and said, "Does little brother think this poor Daoist would believe that?"

"Daoist, that treasure really disappeared on its own. We didn't take it. If you don't believe me, search us."

Chen Yu directly spread his arms, looking as though he would let Duan De search him at will.

Search them?

Search his ass!

With a sweep of Divine Sense, there was nothing.

Duan De did not say a word. He turned and rode away on a rainbow streak, muttering, "Strange. Truly strange. Where did everything go?"

Whoosh!

After some time, another streak of multicolored light flew over and sank into the stone wall ahead.

Chen Yu did not hesitate. He swiftly retrieved the treasure and uploaded it to the Mall.

"Let's go. We're leaving this place."

"Hahaha..." Before the three could leave, Duan De rushed over again and landed in front of them.

Duan De looked at Chen Yu. "Little brother, you can't handle the treasure in your hands. You should let me hold it."

Chen Yu looked puzzled and spread his hands. "Daoist, I haven't seen the treasure you mentioned. This place is haunted, so we were planning to leave."

"Just now, I went to dig up the treasure, but I found nothing. It happened once, then twice. We don't want to stay here anymore."

"Daoist, come with us."

Before Duan De could react, Chen Yu and the other two charged toward another mountain peak.

No matter what Duan De was thinking now, the truth would become clear once Yan Ruyu emerged. It was Yan Ruyu who had taken all the treasures from before.

It was perfectly reasonable for a fallen Demon Race princess to collect a few sentient treasures.
