An Inauspicious Place

"Yes, both of those things are possible. Either a seal somewhere has been broken, causing long-suppressed Spiritual Energy to pour out all at once, or it fell from the sky and landed in this world, causing a sudden explosion of Spiritual Energy overnight. 🐸☆ ♢🍬"

Qian Ye expressed his opinion. Although he already knew the truth, he couldn't reveal it, fearing they wouldn't be able to accept it, so he only hinted at it.

He added, "At this point, I can only offer a guess. I don't know what happened or where it originated."

Zhou Quan and Chu Feng did not refute it. Qian Ye said he did not know the truth, so they, as ordinary people, knew even less.

Not long after, the train stopped again.

The passengers' anxieties returned; they were utterly uncertain, as their journey on the train had been fraught with difficulties since boarding.

We're going on and on, and what should have been a day trip to the final destination is now like an old man pushing a cart. I don't know when we'll finally reach our destination and get home.

The biggest worry for everyone is that if the train is blocked halfway, they will be helpless and unable to call for help. The worst thing is being in the middle of nowhere, where they won't even be able to hail a taxi home.

Asking them to walk hundreds or even thousands of miles back on foot is absurd; let alone whether they have the stamina, it's questionable whether they can even walk that far.

Having water and food is good. Otherwise, being hungry and thirsty, it would be a problem whether they could even get out.

Chu Feng and Zhou Quan were on tenterhooks. 🍧☠ 🐊♥

Qian Ye saw it all, but remained silent.

As a highly powerful immortal being, no matter what happens in this world, it won't harm a single hair on his head.

Ah~

As everyone waited anxiously for the train to continue its journey, a scream was heard from outside the train.

In such an atmosphere, a scream would be enough to terrify everyone even more.

No one knew what was happening, and they all craned their necks to look out the car windows, hoping to see who was screaming outside and what had happened to make them scream in such terror.

Some people couldn't wait any longer, mainly because their view was obstructed and they had no idea what was happening outside, so they got out of the car to check.

Ahh~

Suddenly, two more screams came from outside, startling the people in the carriage, especially the women, who also screamed in unease.

"What's going on outside?" a female passenger suddenly asked.

"This is an ancient battlefield where many people died. It couldn't be..."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, such a thing wouldn't happen," Zhou Quan interrupted the woman.

"If not, then what happened outside?" another female passenger asked anxiously, her face already deathly pale. Nothing had happened yet; if something had, she would have fainted on the spot. 🌷🐙 ♪♟

"Yes? What's wrong with this world? What happened? After boarding, the train kept stopping and starting, it was really suffocating."

"I hope nothing's wrong, otherwise we'll have a hard time getting home!"

"Chu Feng, why don't we go down and take a look too?" Zhou Quan wasn't sure either; seeing is believing. To put others and himself at ease, they had to go down and see the real situation first.

"Okay." Chu Feng immediately got up, wanting to go down and take a look as well.

Zhou Quan stood up, walked out of his seat, and looked back at Qian Ye: "Do you want to go down and take a look?"

"Okay." Qian Ye also stood up and got off the train with the two of them.

With its own strength, it doesn't even need to get out of the car to see the outside scene.

Including the vines hanging down from the sky like chains, and a hanged man suspended from them.

The passenger must have witnessed this scene to have screamed in terror.

Qian Ye and the other two got off the train and went to the front of the train, where they saw a group of passengers gathered around it.

A man was staring blankly at the dome, his trembling legs revealing his extreme fear; he had forgotten to move away.

The other two men were so frightened that they quickly retreated to the carriage door; the two screams they had just heard came from these two men.

"Look everyone, there's someone hanging from the sky!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone quickly looked over, and sure enough, there was a person hanging from the dome.

More accurately, it was a man hanging there, with a head of thick, unusually long hair, dressed in ancient clothing, and carrying a bronze-colored sword.

At this moment, blood was dripping from his body.

The male passenger was positioned directly beneath the hanging corpse, blood splattering on his face, making him appear exceptionally horrifying in the darkness.

"What... what is this? A demon?"

"A demon? An ancient battlefield... it really might be possible!"

"What kind of logic is that? Maybe they were filming a movie. Didn't you see he was still wearing his costume?"

"Filming? It doesn't look like it! I've never seen a film shoot where people are suspended in the air. And look at those huge iron chains hanging down from the clouds. Filming would never involve such a scene. Aren't such fantastical scenes all computer-generated special effects? How could they possibly film something like this on a railway?"

"The government wouldn't allow it, and without even a word. Didn't you see that even the train conductors didn't know about it? It's clearly not true. And even the film crew didn't see it, so how could it be filming? Are you trying to make me laugh?"

"A demon! It must be a demon!" Several people were so frightened that they quickly hid back inside the carriage.

Then, screams of frightened women echoed through the train.

"Those aren't chains at all, they're vines, vines hanging down from the sky. The corpse was bound to these vines." Chu Feng suddenly realized that the "chains" in the sky weren't real chains, but just vines.

"A vine? A vine that fell from the sky?" Zhou Quan looked at the sky, his heart pounding.

Unheard of! How could vines possibly hang down from the sky?

All the passengers who witnessed this scene were filled with unease.

Including Chu Feng.

After all, he was still just an ordinary person and had not yet discovered his potential. Although he was bold, he was still unsettled by the strange atmosphere.

Zhou Quan had already stepped back to Qian Ye's side and asked him, "Brother, what do you think?"

Qian Ye looked up and saw several vines that had already reached the roof of the carriage, within easy reach to climb up. "Actually, the method is very simple. To find out the truth, we have to follow the vines and climb up to their roots to find out where they came from."

"This... who would dare to climb up there?!" Zhou Quan shook his head, indicating that no one dared to climb up, and he certainly wouldn't dare to try.

"Then I'll go up and give it a try." Qian Ye immediately took action, climbing onto the top of the train and grabbing a vine to start climbing.

"This person..." Zhou Quan hesitated, thinking himself the bravest of them all, but it turned out this person was even bolder. "It truly proves the saying, 'The world is a vast and wondrous place!'"
