"My younger brother learned the news from Xiang'er's servant and immediately flew to Youwang Ghost Cave, hoping to catch up with them before they entered! But when he released his divine sense, there was no trace of them anywhere. Fearing that his divine sense had been mistaken, he rushed to the ghost cave again, yet still found nothing..." the old man hurriedly replied.
"Are you certain they have already gone in?" Zhu Cheng asked anxiously. After all, Zhu Xiang was his son, and You Zhongquan—whom Xiao Hua had come looking for—was involved as well.
"This younger brother cannot be entirely certain..." The old man hesitated before saying, "After all, today is the fifteenth day of the seventh month. This younger brother dared not approach the ghost cave too closely..."
"Huh? Why was it the fifteenth day of the seventh month again?" Xiao Hua, who had been listening closely, froze. Indeed, when he had encountered Huang Yi at Tianmen Mountain before, it had been the Ghost Festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. Now that he had arrived on Cangxian Continent, encountered Huang Yi's reincarnation, Chang Yuan, and had only just accepted Chang Yuan as his disciple, he had run into the Ghost Festival again. And although Zhu Cheng had not yet revealed the truth, Xiao Hua already had a vague feeling that this matter was surely connected to fierce ghosts and wandering souls once more! Only this time, the one caught up in it... was You Zhongquan.
"The fifteenth day of the seventh month?!" While Xiao Hua stood stunned, Zhu Cheng's face turned deathly pale as well. Clenching both hands into fists, he roared, "That unfilial son! Since he knew today was the Ghost Festival, how could he rashly enter Youwang Ghost Cave? Wasn't that simply courting death?!"
