"That remark from Yuan Muye quickly enraged the evil ghost.

“Negative emotional value from Ouyang Dachun +999…”

“I see you’re looking for death.”

Ouyang Dachun was clearly provoked by Yuan Muye, and he quickly locked onto him, heading straight for him.

Sensing the great threat, Yuan Muye didn't hesitate and immediately began to dodge.

His dodging speed was quite fast, thanks to Yuan Muye not forgetting to improve his Lingbo Weibu (Microstep Gait) when he was enhancing his strength.

After the evil ghost missed his strike, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

“Kid, you’re pretty good at running away, huh?”

“That’s right, much faster than you think,”

Yuan Muye didn't waste any time.

Hearing Yuan Muye say that, the evil ghost became even more furious.

“Negative emotional value from Ouyang Dachun +699…”

“Ouyang Dachun, after all these years, that’s all you’ve got.”

Yuan Muye suddenly called out Ouyang Dachun's name.

The evil ghost was shocked to hear someone call out his name so abruptly.

He looked at Yuan Muye and asked curiously, “How do you know my name?”

“How I know isn’t important. I just know your name. Don’t be too presumptuous. A master sent us here this time. If you dare to attack us, your only end will be…”

“What?”

Ouyang Dachun stared at Yuan Muye with a sinister gaze.

“To be scattered into ashes. You finally got out, so I advise you to recuperate first.”

Yuan Muye said calmly, putting on a composed demeanor.

But in reality, he was panicking inside.

The old Taoist stared at Yuan Muye, also curious as to how Yuan Muye could call out the evil ghost's name.

Ouyang Dachun looked at Yuan Muye, seeming hesitant.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yuan Muye continued, “Ouyang Dachun, both of us are at the Da Neng (Great Power) realm. Do you think you can defeat both of us and devour our souls? If we stall you until the people behind us arrive, do you think you can leave here alive?”

Yuan Muye was now gambling that this guy wouldn't dare to confront them head-on.

In reality, Yuan Muye and the old Taoist, combined, were definitely not a match for the evil ghost before them.

Ouyang Dachun pondered for a moment, stared at the two of them, and then said, “Kid, I’ll let you off today, but after I recover to my peak strength, I will definitely come back and devour your soul.”

The next second, the evil ghost disappeared from the spot.

The old Taoist was shocked by this scene, never expecting Yuan Muye to persuade the evil ghost to leave with just a few words.

He stared at Yuan Muye, shocked, and said, “Young friend, what kind of trick is that?”

“What kind of trick? You don’t need to worry about it. The most urgent thing is for us to leave here quickly.”

Yuan Muye felt it was too dangerous to stay in this place.

Hearing Yuan Muye’s words, the old Taoist felt it made a lot of sense, and quickly said, “Alright, wait a moment, I’ll put the sack on my back.”

Before long, Yuan Muye also found Ghost King, released him from the jade stone world, and prepared to leave this dangerous place.

After a brief preparation, the two quickly headed up into the sky.

Before long, they were in the forest, and soon they returned to the Taoist temple.

The old Taoist dug a pit and buried all the bones, then said to Yuan Muye, “Young friend, thanks to you this time.”

“No need, this is what I should do. We had an agreement to begin with.”

After a pause, Yuan Muye continued, “Taoist priest, what do you plan to do next?”

“This poor Taoist hasn’t decided yet.”

“How about this, Taoist priest, why don’t you come down the mountain with me? This place isn’t a good place after all. It’s not safe to stay here all the time.”

Yuan Muye earnestly advised.

The old Taoist thought for a moment and said, “Alright, but this town-guarding sword must not be moved under any circumstances.”

He reminded Yuan Muye, who was speechless upon hearing this, but still said, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in this town-guarding sword.”

Of course, what Yuan Muye said was against his true feelings.

But from the Taoist priest’s tone, it could be heard that this town-guarding sword was very important.

Although Yuan Muye wanted it very much, he wouldn’t do something like taking what belonged to others.

The old Taoist simply packed up some things and went down the mountain with Yuan Muye. Because Yuan Muye was curious about the deserted village, he planned to go down and take a look with the old Taoist.

The old Taoist naturally knew that there was a village here, but he had never seen living people living here. Now, hearing Yuan Muye say that there were living people inside,

He also became curious and followed Yuan Muye forward.

Relying on his memory, Yuan Muye soon arrived at the place where the old man lived before.

He stood at the door. It was about seven o’clock in the evening, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen.

Yuan Muye raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the sound of “bang, bang, bang” rang out.

But there was no response from inside.

Yuan Muye shouted, “Old man, are you home?”

His voice began to drift here, but no one answered.

The old Taoist said to Yuan Muye, “Young friend, are you mistaken? How could there be living people in this place? This poor Taoist has been here for many years, and I have never…”

Before the old Taoist could finish speaking,

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from inside, “Wait, I’m coming.”

Then a flurry of hurried footsteps came, and before long, the door creaked open.

A figure quickly walked out from inside, it was the old man Yuan Muye had seen before.

The old man stared at Yuan Muye, the two staring at each other. After waiting for a while, the old man opened his mouth and said, “Young man, where have you been? Weren’t you going to tell us stories?”

“Yes, I’m going to tell you stories. Didn’t I come back?”

Yuan Muye knew that there must be something wrong with the people in this village, so he also wanted to unravel the secrets of this village to see what these people were up to.

The old Taoist stared at the old man, his expression also changing.

After the two went inside,

The old man said, “You sit down first, I’ll go call them over. The people before were all looking for you. Young man, they even blamed me for hiding you.”

After the old man left,

Yuan Muye asked the old Taoist, “Taoist priest, did you see anything wrong?”

“No, but it is indeed a strange thing that there are living people in this place, and even more so that living people shouldn’t appear in this place at all.”/

The old Taoist frowned slightly.

This old Taoist’s strength is stronger than Yuan Muye’s. If the old Taoist can’t see anything wrong, then Yuan Muye can only treat them as living people.
