Good lord, learning to strong-arm transactions, are we!

Fang Yue's face darkened.

This guy just pops out of nowhere, gives a passage of text, and then starts demanding money.

Good lord, I say, good lord.

[I am Fang Yue, and I did not heed the advice of the great and noble Parchment of Time, continuing to follow my previous idea of hunting down lone Yangxu ghosts.]

[But before I could hunt down many Yangxu ghosts, I found myself surrounded by a vast army of Yangxu ghosts, with no way to retreat. I was trapped in a dead end.]

[It turns out that the Yangxu ghosts' Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge), is able to detect the surrounding situation through the death of ordinary Yangxu ghosts and direct them.]

[Although Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) doesn't know who I am, merely remotely directing because the surrounding Yangxu ghosts are being killed, I am still in a desperate situation.]

The words that appeared in Fang Yue's mind from the parchment made Fang Yue's back feel cold.

If he had really carried out the bold plan just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He didn't expect that Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) to have such an ability.

Fang Yue felt a sense of being troublesome.

[Stone! Don't think about welching!!]

While Fang Yue was still thinking about countermeasures, the parchment started fussing.

Rolling his eyes, Fang Yue directly fed it black embers, and then asked, "If I only attack the Yangxu ghosts, but don't kill them, will it alarm Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge)?"

[I am Fang Yue, facing a group of Yangxu ghosts blocking my path, I want to choose to cut off the legs of a few Yangxu ghosts, and then quickly go deep to find the whereabouts of Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge).]

[I succeeded. The other Yangxu ghost groups did not react in any way, and Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) was not alarmed.]

It works!

Fang Yue felt relieved. Although the parchment was unreliable sometimes, it was still trustworthy in this regard.

After giving another 1g of black embers, Fang Yue lurked closer to the Yangxu ghosts in front.

After approaching a certain distance, Fang Yue immediately began to accelerate his sprint.

In the past, his attributes were not high, and his movement speed was not fast.

Now, as a second-rate Houtian realm expert, his speed was no longer comparable to that of Yangxu ghosts.

From starting to sprinting into the territory of the Yangxu ghost group, it only took three to five seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the Yangxu ghosts all let out roars.

"Mie!!"

Scattered around, they all rushed towards Fang Yue with murderous intent.

However, due to the distance, only the three closest Yangxu ghosts successfully blocked Fang Yue's path.

With a sinking expression, Fang Yue suddenly drew his saber.

Lengyue Dao (Cold Moon Saber)!

Without using the Liehuo Xinfa (Blazing Fire Heart Sutra), without using the Xinghuo Daofa (Starlight Saber Technique).

Fang Yue simply used his 170 points of high Force stat, using brute force to chop at the legs of these three Yangxu ghosts.

Buzz!

Like a Iaido slash, Fang Yue instantly passed by these three Yangxu ghosts like a saber light, crossing paths with them.

And the three Yangxu ghosts flew backwards, their legs already separated from their bodies.

When the other Yangxu ghosts continued to approach, Fang Yue had completely distanced himself.

In this way, he wouldn't be discovered by Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge).

Fang Yue verified the map provided by Captain Lang Wu, confirmed the location, and soon had a goal.

It was a pile of fire.

From a distance, it looked like a small flame.

It wasn't until the distance was closer that Fang Yue discovered that many Yangxu ghosts were circling around the fire pile like a sacrifice.

This scene looked quite strange.

As far as Fang Yue knew, in the dark night.

Flames could only be ignited by burning lifespan.

But at this moment, there was nothing in the flame.

This made Fang Yue feel very strange.

But soon, he saw the pile of flames surrounded by the group of Yangxu ghosts gradually shrinking.

Then, the nearest Yangxu ghost crashed into it.

The flames suddenly soared high, crackling.

Whether it was because the flames were extremely fierce, or for some other reason, this Yangxu ghost was directly burned to ashes when it crashed into the bonfire, instantly evaporating like steam and turning into fuel.

"Mie!"

"Mie!"

"Mie!!"

The other Yangxu ghosts all roared lowly, which continued for a while before subsiding.

This strange scene made Fang Yue's heart panic.

What did this group of Yangxu ghosts want to do? And why were they chasing after him so relentlessly?

This was the most strange thing about Fang Yue. Logically speaking, he was just an ordinary passerby, who had killed a few more Yangxu ghosts, and accepted the ghost curse. Anyone who killed Yangxu ghosts multiple times should be infected with this kind of ghost curse.

Why was it that when it came to him, it was such a big deal, and even Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) among the Yangxu ghosts was dispatched.

Fang Yue continued to patiently lurk.

The location where Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) appeared, as provided by Captain Lang Wu, was nearby.

And the strange situation in front of him was obviously a bit abnormal, and should be related to Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge). Maybe he could find Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) by squatting here.

While Fang Yue was waiting, three more Yangxu ghosts jumped into the flames.

Just when Fang Yue was getting a little impatient, feeling that he might have found the wrong place… the flames that had soared high suddenly rose into the air, turning into a fireball the size of a human head.

The fireball slowly grew goat horns and a goatee, turning into a goat face, and slowly opened its mouth.

"Mie! Mie mie mie. Mie mie mie!"

Fang Yue: …

The importance of understanding a foreign language!

Fang Yue was a little dazed. He couldn't understand what the ghost thing was saying at all.

But the surrounding Yangxu ghosts clearly understood, and the mie mie mie sounds rose and fell, responding.

"Mie!"

Suddenly, in the Yangxu ghost group, a slightly stronger Yangxu ghost gave a loud mie and walked to the bonfire.

At this moment, the eyes of the other Yangxu ghosts looking at this strong Yangxu ghost all became very respectful and envious.

Just when Fang Yue didn't know what had happened, the goat head composed of flames suddenly crashed into the body of the strong Yangxu ghost.

"Mie!!"

The eyes of the strong Yangxu ghost seemed to be spewing out flames, burning fiercely.

The already strong physique was amplified again, becoming taller, to the point where people could only look up to it.

And on the chest of the strong Yangxu ghost, traces of flames slowly emerged, burning a pattern of a goat head.

"Mie!!"

This Yangxu ghost roared again, as if its goat horns had become sharper.

And the surrounding Yangxu ghosts all slowly knelt down.

"Mie! Mie! Mie! Mie!"

The mie mie sounds were endless.

At this time, Fang Yue could basically confirm that this guy was the so-called Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) among the Yangxu ghosts.

It's just… Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) actually appeared like this?

Fang Yue thought that Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) was like other Yangxu ghosts, possessing a physical body, and was protected by these ordinary Yangxu ghosts.

Now it seemed that its appearance was somewhat similar to the ancient folk rituals of inviting gods to descend.

Watching Gui Zhi (ghost knowledge) continue to communicate with other Yangxu ghosts, Fang Yue couldn't help but shout in his heart.

"Parchment, are you there? Translate what they're saying for me."
