"What is he doing?" Mu Anxiao continued to watch the retreating ghost, frowning.
Feng Qishi followed Mu Anxiao's gaze, staring at the ghost's retreating back until he disappeared. Feng Qishi then said, "He was probably scared away."
"He was indeed scared away," Wan Sha stated indifferently, standing behind Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi with her arms crossed.
As Mu Xiang was about to speak to Wan Sha, who had spoken with a profound expression, she sensed something was wrong. She quickly turned her head in the opposite direction of where the ghost had run and said, "This is not good."
Wan Sha, not sensing the situation over there, followed Mu Xiang's gaze and looked in that direction, asking, "What..."
Before she could finish, a cry for help came from the direction Mu Xiang was looking.
Hearing the sound, Wan Sha's eyes widened: "It's a woman's voice."
"Yes," Mu Xiang and Wan Sha exchanged glances.
"I'll go see," Mu Anxiao said. As she was about to step towards the direction of the sound to investigate, Wan Sha stepped forward and blocked her. Mu Anxiao asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'll go. You and he," she glanced at Feng Qishi, "stay here and wait."
"Are you really capable of doing this?" Mu Anxiao worried that Wan Sha would renege.
"If I'm not capable, then five years will be deducted from the ten. Regardless of how much I help you, I will not ask you to add more years," Wan Sha said earnestly.
Mu Anxiao could see that this matter was extremely important to Wan Sha. Since she had said so, Mu Anxiao decided to trust her this once. "Alright, you go ahead."
"..." Wan Sha didn't bother to agree to Mu Anxiao with a firm tone. She turned to look at Mu Xiang and said, "Together."
"Okay," Mu Xiang nodded, touched the jade in her embrace, and left with Wan Sha.
In the next moment, Mu Anxiao watched Wan Sha and Mu Xiang leave. Just as she was about to sigh, the voice of the wolf demon came from the dilapidated room, "In short, all of your souls taste good, and they can also enhance your demonic arts. Not bad."
Hearing the wolf demon's words, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but exclaim.
Feng Qishi, thinking of Lin Yan being inside, felt his heart sink and quickly said, "This is bad. The wolf demon must be in cahoots with the imposter." His expression became tense.
Mu Anxiao thought for a moment and immediately blocked Feng Qishi, who was about to rush in, saying, "Wait." She placed her hand on his chest.
Feng Qishi was stunned. "How can you make me wait when my disciple is inside?" He grabbed Mu Anxiao's wrist.
"I know, let's listen," Mu Anxiao said, looking down at the dog spirit crouching by the pillar without speaking.
Feng Qishi had not noticed the dog spirit's presence. As Mu Anxiao lowered her head, he followed her gaze and frowned, "Why is it here?"
"Come to find its master, of course," Mu Anxiao said indifferently.
"Is that so?" Feng Qishi did not pry further. He released his hand, turned, and took two steps forward, crouching beside the dog spirit.
The dog spirit looked up at Feng Qishi. Remembering the instructions from the female ghost, it did not bark.
Feng Qishi reached out and stroked its dog head, then looked up at Mu Anxiao, who had turned and gone to the door to eavesdrop, remaining silent.
Inside.
After the wolf demon began to talk about being a soul-eating wolf demon, everyone fell silent.
Mu Long continued to cry.
The fake Lin Yan was already fearful of the wolf demon's abilities. Now, after hearing him say this, his inner anxiety could not be calmed.
The black-clothed female ghost also dared not be arrogant again and returned to the side of the group of ghosts.
The wolf demon looked helplessly at the silent ghosts and then at the people who had also become fearful of him. He asked knowingly, "Oh dear, why isn't anyone talking to me anymore?"
Fake Lin Yan: "You... you eat souls?"
Wolf Demon: "Of course. But," he touched his belly, "I haven't been fond of that taste lately. I like souls like yours." His gaze fell upon the ghosts.
The ghosts trembled.
The wolf demon added, "Especially lone souls that are about to be revived. The texture," he smacked his lips, "is extremely delicious." He gave a thumbs-up.
Mu Anxiao leaned against the dilapidated wall by the door. Listening to the wolf demon's exaggerated words from inside, she shivered, thinking that the guy was indeed quite good at talking nonsense.
"What's wrong?" Feng Qishi noticed Mu Anxiao's expression.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao put her finger to her lips and shushed him.
Feng Qishi sighed and continued to pet the dog's head.
Inside the dilapidated room.
After the wolf demon said this, everyone fell into silence. Even Lin Yan was so scared that he retreated another step.
The second ghost looked at its companions on both sides and mustered the courage to ask, "As long as we don't possess their bodies and get revived... will you not eat us?" He pointed to the group of people in the corner.
The people's eyes lit up.
The wolf demon smiled, "That's the idea, because I'm not too hungry yet."
"Are you telling the truth?" the third ghost also showed signs of being moved.
"Of course, it's the truth. If not," the wolf demon glanced towards the door and continued, "wouldn't I be chasing that guy right now?"
The guy the wolf demon was referring to was the first ghost who, to save its soul, had escaped without regard for the external environment or Mu Anxiao and the others.
The second and third ghosts exchanged glances after hearing the wolf demon's words. The second ghost then said, "Then... I'm leaving... don't chase me."
"I'll give you three counts. Those who don't run will be in trouble," the wolf demon seized the opportunity and said deliberately.
The ghosts' eyes widened at the wolf demon's words.
Fake Lin Yan: "You're trying to scare them, aren't you?"
"Why would I try to scare them?" the wolf demon retorted.
Fake Lin Yan listened to the wolf demon's unfriendly retort and recalled the wolf demon's fearless spirit. He thought it would be good if they all left, as his purpose had already been achieved. Keeping them here would only be a waste of his demonic arts. Conversely, the wolf demon had helped him.
Previously, he didn't want to offend them, which was why he had only let the wolf demon take one Lin Yan. Now, he wished they would all leave, except for that male ghost with the surname Mu.
"It seems..." Fake Lin Yan deliberately paused and said, "you really do eat souls." He glanced at the male ghost.
It was fake Lin Yan's doing that they could be seen by mortals.
In their eyes, fake Lin Yan was as dangerous as the wolf demon. The reason they weren't preparing to flee was that they chose to believe fake Lin Yan. Some of the ghosts thought fake Lin Yan would expose the wolf demon with his own methods, but who knew he would say the same thing.
Thinking about it, their thoughts were completely shattered after fake Lin Yan's words.
The moment fake Lin Yan spoke, the wolf demon's lips curved upwards. "Three counts. Those who can't escape will be my sheep." He then began to prepare to count down.
