Some were couples, some were families of three, all of whom were people who had gone missing in the neighborhood.
At this moment, Ji Fengyu suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw a bloody corpse, a young man in his teens, whose abdomen and face had been gnawed away, exposing the white bones.
Based on the bite marks left on the bones, this was most likely done by a group of living people.
"How inhuman! They've started eating people at this level of hunger?"
Ji Fengyu shook his head, stepped over the corpse, and prepared to continue forward.
But suddenly, the corpse seemed to be activated by the aura of a living being. It sprang to its feet and charged towards Ji Fengyu.
Ji Fengyu didn't even turn his head. A bear paw slammed down, and the living corpse was instantly smashed into pieces.
"Trash, so weak!"
After walking for an unknown amount of time and seeing countless Eastern Ying corpses, Ji Fengyu finally reached the end of the ancient road.
This place seems to be a quaint little town, but it's pitch black inside and there's not a sound to be heard.
Suddenly, a delicious aroma of meat wafted from ahead, making Ji Fengyu's mouth water uncontrollably. He looked up and said, "Again?"
Ji Fengyu stepped forward and saw a group of Eastern Ying men in the center of the town stuffing a group of old and weak people into a boiling pot.
Strangely, this small town had no food, but it had large pots and dry firewood.
It seems that this group of people, like him, had endured hunger to get here, but in the end, they could not resist their hunger and prepared to cook their companions.
There were already several gnawed corpses next to the large pot, but the Eastern Ying men seemed unsatisfied and continued to stuff living people into the pot.
Cries and pleas for help echoed throughout the town.
"Suke!"
"Ya M Butterfly!"
Ji Fengyu couldn't understand the language, but he still raised an eyebrow and controlled the Black Bear Martial Spirit to step forward. Even he couldn't bear to look at the scene of cannibalism.
With a roar, the Black Bear Martial Spirit quickly killed several Eastern Ying men.
Seeing that the weak woman had been rescued, Ji Fengyu turned and left.
But not long after, the aroma of meat wafted over from that direction again.
Ji Fengyu didn't move again. He sighed deeply, held the Fuzhu Jade in his hand, and sat down to meditate.
As he realized, the longer one stayed in this Ghost Domain, the hungrier one would become, until one lost one's mind.
But whether you eat people or are eaten, you will fall into the trap of the Strange Spirit.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Fengyu suddenly woke up. He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, looked up, and saw that the red moon in the sky had turned into three.
It seems he has stepped into the third level of the Ghost Domain.
He looked around and realized he was sitting in front of a grave.
"Unlucky!"
After getting up and observing, Ji Fengyu realized that the place here was exactly the same as the Grave Mountain he had observed before leaving the Ghost Domain Realm.
It seems he has already arrived at the true Ghost Domain.
Just then, a food aroma wafted over. Although it wasn't the smell of human flesh, it still whetted his appetite.
His saliva kept flowing, and the more Ji Fengyu it, the more it flowed, completely out of his control.
"Damn it, this isn't over yet..."
Smelling the aroma of food, Ji Fengyu arrived at an open space.
Many Eastern Ying people are lying here, including quite a few junior high school girls dressed as students, as well as residents of nearby towns.
Many people were knocked unconscious, but even so, their saliva continued to flow.
In the middle of the crowd, a pot of soup was simmering. Ji Fengyu stared wide-eyed and saw Lin Yi talking to a woman.
He had seen that woman before; her name was Meng Yilan, and she was the Alliance Leader of the official Ghost Controller Alliance. The Strange Spirit she contracted with was very powerful.
Lin Yi turned his head and nodded to him.
An unnamed rage surged within Ji Fengyu, leaving him speechless.
At this moment, a man dressed in an official blue robe came up and handed over a bowl of soup, saying, "Brother Ji, have some."
Ji Fengyu raised an eyebrow. "You know me?"
"My Zhao Kexing, the assistant of the Alliance Leader Meng, and a member of the Ghost Controller Alliance. Great Master Lin just introduced you, saying that you arrived later than he expected."
"He kicked me into this Ghost Domain, how could I not be slow..."
Ji Fengyu, with a dark expression, offered an explanation and then accepted the soup from Zhao Kexing.
The soup had a strange smell and was green in color; it was unclear what it was made from.
"Hey buddy, what's this?"
"Don't worry, the grass roots and wild grass nearby aren't Ghost Domain or dirty things. They're filling and easy to digest. I just drank three bowls."
Ji Fengyu pinched his nose, wanting to take a sip, but immediately spat it out. The taste was too strong, bitter and astringent, with an earthy smell.
To be honest, even in his Gap World, he had never tasted anything this awful.
Even shit smells better than this stuff.
"Brother Ji, don't waste it. Even the Eastern Ying underground can't get a taste of this. I'm only sharing a bowl with you because we're on the same side."
"Thank you, I can handle it, I won't drink it."
Ji Fengyu patted Zhao Kexing on the shoulder, returned the soup to him, and then stormed over to Lin Yi.
"Hey Lin... brother, this isn't how you play games with people..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi took out two pieces of chocolate. "Want some?"
"Yes, yes, I was presumptuous just now..."
Ji Fengyu's expression changed swiftly. He decisively caught the two pieces of chocolate. He was extremely hungry at the moment, and the chocolate could indeed shut him up.
Meng Yilan smiled to herself.
Then, Lin Yi looked at Ji Fengyu and explained, "After I came in, I also entered the Three-Layer Illusion of the Ghost Domain Realm illusion, just like you. However, my cultivation level is higher, so the Ghost Domain's abilities cannot affect me. Therefore, I was directly teleported here."
"As for you, a member of the prestigious Ji Family and an elite of the Demon Suppressor Division, you should be able to successfully overcome the first two illusions, so I didn't bother with you. Besides, this is also a good opportunity for you to hone your skills. What do you think?"
Ji Fengyu nodded after swallowing two chocolates. Lin Yi's praise instantly dispelled his resentment. At that moment, he felt ashamed for not understanding Lin Yi's good intentions.
"You're right. This experience has indeed been useful to me, Brother Lin. I was too impulsive just now."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "No problem, I found the girl. She's lying in the crowd. Go and keep an eye on her for me. I still have something to talk to Meng Meng."
Ji Fengyu obediently did as instructed and left.
Soon, he found the girl in Lin Yi's photo among a group of junior high school girls. The girl had exquisite features and was even more beautiful in person than in the photo. She lay quietly on the grass, looking fresh and beautiful in comparison to the ordinary girls next to her.
"No wonder she wanted to save someone, she's so beautiful."
Ji Fengyu did not approach, but instead sat down to meditate and circulate his True Qi to resist hunger.
Although he had just eaten the two chocolates Lin Yi gave him, in the Ghost Domain, food in his stomach would be digested quickly, and he felt that intense hunger again.
On the other side, Lin Yi and Meng Yilan continued their previous conversation.
"If I help you, what benefits will the Eastern Ying Government give me?"
If Lin Yi finds Meng Yilan and Yoshida Shoichi's daughter inside the Ghost Domain, he can easily break through the Ghost Domain in a short time and take the two of them and Meng Yilan's team away.
However, the current problem is that Meng Yilan refuses to leave. Instead, she wants to rescue all the surviving Eastern Ying people on this Grave Mountain and also asks Lin Yi to help suppress the evil people of this Ghost Domain.
Saving people and suppressing Strange Spirit are both acceptable, but Lin Yi won't do anything that doesn't bring him any benefit.
Meng Yilan knew Lin Yi's temper. She thought for a moment and said, "They promised that after I resolved the troubles of the Number Three Ghost Domain, they would compensate me with ten portions of Extraordinary Blue Spiritual Material and one Source Stone. If you are willing to help, you can have all of these things."
Lin Yi shook his head. "It's not enough. It might be enough to save people, but the people who suppress the Ghost Domain will cost another price."
"Then there's nothing I can do unless you talk to them yourself."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "I can understand saving people, but why do you insist on dealing with these Ghost Domain beings?"
Meng Yilan thought for a moment and asked Yu, " Great Master Lin, have you ever heard of the Seven Divine Ghosts?"
Seven Divine Ghosts!
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly having some recollection of it.
He remembered that when he first met Old Fourth Gu, after being trapped in that white mist Ghost Domain, he easily broke through the Ghost Domain by relying on a long-standing Domain Breaking Talisman from Ancient Pool Village.
The Domain Breaking Talisman seals a trace of the Raging Ghost's aura. The Raging Ghost is said to be one of the Seven Divine Ghosts, with a mysterious and ancient origin.
Later, he heard the Old Village Chief talk about the Seven Divine Ghosts, saying that the Seven Divine Ghosts were Undying and could easily control the inherent evil in humans and stir up their desires.
Could it be that this Ghost Domain creature is one of the Seven Divine Ghosts?
Judging from his methods, it seems to be related to binge eating.
"What do you have to do with the Seven Divine Ghosts and Demons?"
Meng Yilan stood up and said, " The Seven Divine Ghosts are extremely fast-growing Strange Spirit. The Strange Spirit that is currently trapping us is the Gluttonous Wraith. A few days ago, it, along with several other Professional-level Wraith, descended upon Eastern Ying and launched a series of Ghost Domain, abducting hundreds of thousands of people."
"I've discovered that every time it activates its Ghost Domain abilities, it grows considerably. Just a few hours ago, it had already abducted tens of thousands of people. Think about it, if it continues to grow, not only will Eastern Ying be destroyed, but we will also be affected. At that point, it will be unrealistic to deal with this Strange Spirit."
"Kill it, and you should get something out of it, right?"
Meng Yilan frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Yi Yiyu: "Yes, I won't lie to you. The Strange Spirit I contracted is called Seal Ghost Prison. Every time I suppress a Strange Spirit, I can control its death, gain some of its abilities, and easily control it."
" Seal Ghost Prison?"
Lin Yi was somewhat shocked. No wonder Meng Yilan traveled all over the world collecting ghosts; her contracted Strange Spirit were so special.
Perhaps the Strange Spirit contracted by the current members of the official Wraith Controller Alliance have all been suppressed by Meng Yilan.
No wonder Elder Chen is so confident in the Wraith Controller Alliance, and is not afraid that these members will have their minds and emotions corrupted by Strange Spirit.
It seems that the Strange Stone on his chest is far inferior to Meng Yilan's Seal Ghost Prison.
"I can help you, but you'll owe me a favor."
"Alright, I, Great Master Lin Meng Yilan, will definitely keep your words in mind from now on."
Meng Yilan showed a look of joy. To be honest, she had never seen Lin Yi go all out before.
However, through her conversation with Elder Chen, she learned that Lin Yi was very strong, even stronger than her.
