The First Commandment Returns

But no matter how thorough they were, there would still be omissions. After all, these local people were not Wu Heng's Blood Floss Demon army.

They did not possess the ability to spot evil ghosts at a glance.

Yet after devouring the memories of living people, the few newly born evil ghosts were instantly frightened into trembling by the memories they inherited.

They immediately realized that if they dared remain in cities or human-inhabited areas, given the terror of Eerie Manor, they would surely be crushed to pieces by the two patrollers!

Thus, they did not dare linger for even a moment. One after another, they fled deep into the mountains and ancient forests, hiding like wild animals and staying far away from human territory.

Some did not even dare possess human bodies anymore, since they were far too conspicuous. Instead, they attached themselves to wild animals.

Although possessing wild animals would gradually leave them as muddle-headed as beasts, they had no other choice.

At the same time, in the snowy plateau region, Wuliji, who had been chosen as a "ghost soldier," quickly completed his first round of bell-carrying patrols because the region he was stationed in was sparsely populated.

"Whoa—!"

At that moment, he suddenly yanked back on the reins of his galloping horse.

A lone wild yak had appeared a hundred meters ahead. Having lived on the grasslands his entire life, he could tell at a glance that it was a female yak.

Remembering the herd of yaks he had seen behind him earlier, he assumed that it must have been separated from the herd.

Wuliji was in high spirits. Ever since becoming a ghost soldier, he had felt as though his entire body was filled with inexhaustible strength, and he suddenly wanted to do a good deed.
