It was only two thirty in the afternoon, so we still had plenty of time.
So I asked Master, "Master, are we going in now?"
Master took a deep breath and spoke to me again. "No rush. We've been traveling for quite a while. It's still early, so let's rest for a bit. We'll go in at dusk and enter the city after ten tonight."
Hearing Master say that, I immediately nodded. "All right!"
Then Master pointed to a tree, signaling for us to rest over there...
Although Master and I had arrived early, we did not enter the mist right away.
I observed the area outside for a while. The mist was no different from ordinary mountain fog, heavy with moisture.
I had previously learned from Chen Hui that there used to be a river here. Ghost Cry City had been a small riverside border town, a post station where passing merchants traded. Later, for various reasons, the river changed course. Then Fox Grudge appeared in the city, and the place was completely abandoned. No living people came near it anymore, and it gradually became a forbidden zone.
This time, we had no idea what we would encounter inside.
Even with Master beside me, I did not dare relax in the slightest.
So we waited and waited until dusk, when the sky began to darken.
Only then did Master and I prepare to sneak in.
Before entering, Master said, "Xiao Jiang, put on your cloak. My cultivation is higher than yours, so I can suppress my own aura."
I nodded. "No problem, Master!"
With that, I took the Phantom Moon Cloak out of my bag.
I draped it over myself and pulled up the hood.
My human aura was instantly cut off.
Even the sea-transformed ghosts in Yin Mist
