Chapter 1 After the Rain

After a period of cultivation, dawn arrived quickly.

Yuan Munye slowly opened his eyes and saw a dim light shining in from outside, giving the feeling that a heavy rain was about to fall.

But this was the daytime here.

In this gloomy weather, even slightly higher-level evil ghosts could be active 24 hours a day.

As for humans wanting to survive in this place, it was basically impossible.

Even the situation in Fire City back then wasn't as bad as it was now.

Yuan Munye frowned slightly, and called out "Yuan Xiaoyao," but after calling out, he found that Yuan Xiaoyao didn't respond.

Yuan Munye felt a little curious and worried. A wisp of his primordial spirit directly entered the Great Fish Sword and discovered that Yuan Xiaoyao had fallen into a deep sleep.

Probably breaking through a realm.

After all, she had devoured so many evil ghosts, so breaking through was very likely. Yuan Munye suddenly thought of a rather terrifying thing.

If Yuan Xiaoyao continued to devour at her current rate, what level would she reach in the end?

Yuan Xiaoyao would definitely be able to advance from a Level 4 evil ghost to a Level 5 evil ghost this time.

Ordinary evil ghosts basically couldn't improve their cultivation through her method.

Thinking of this, Yuan Munye paused slightly.

He suddenly became curious about who Yuan Xiaoyao's parents were.

How could they give birth to such an evil ghost?

Or a natural-born evil ghost...

Since Yuan Xiaoyao was in a deep sleep, Yuan Munye didn't disturb her. Instead, he started walking down from the building. The desolate scene outside really shocked Yuan Munye.

The wrecked cars and corpses everywhere caused waves of emotions to constantly rise in Yuan Munye's heart.

It was basically impossible for humans to survive in this place.

Just then, a couple of Level 2 evil ghosts discovered Yuan Munye.

They immediately revealed a sinister smile and said, "We didn't expect there to be any fish that slipped through the net. We brothers are in luck."

The two evil ghosts weren't very high level.

Yuan Munye didn't delay. He raised his hand and killed the two evil ghosts.

Two ghost stones quickly fell to the ground. Yuan Munye squatted down and picked up the ghost stones.

These ghost stones were still somewhat useful to Yuan Munye, so he carefully put them away.

Suddenly, his aura spread outwards, catching a movement. Yuan Munye immediately said, "Come out!"

As soon as he said this, Yuan Munye's gaze quickly landed behind a wrecked car. It seemed like someone was hiding there.

Yuan Munye continued, "Come out now, or don't blame me for being rude."

After waiting for a while, Yuan Munye finally saw a thin boy walk out. The boy was probably around ten years old.

He was covered in dirt and looked rather miserable.

The little boy stared at Yuan Munye and said after a moment, "You, are you a human?"

"That's right, I'm a human."

Yuan Munye also cooperated with the answer.

The little boy was as if he had discovered another world, and shouted, "You're really a living person! Did you kill those two evil ghosts just now?"

Yuan Munye nodded noncommittally, and the little boy was immediately excited.

Yuan Munye didn't know what to say for a moment, but he was also curious about where this place was.

In fact, he had already guessed that this must be a county town that had fallen under Jiang City.

The little boy blinked and looked curiously at Yuan Munye.

After a simple exchange of glances, Yuan Munye asked, "What is this place?"

When the little boy heard this, he knew that Yuan Munye had come from outside, so he said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

He didn't answer Yuan Munye, but instead asked Yuan Munye two questions.

After a pause, Yuan Munye said, "I'm from the Jiang City Supernatural Special Forces Bureau."

When the little boy heard the words "Jiang City Supernatural Special Forces Bureau," his expression changed, and he immediately said, "You still have the nerve to come here?"

Yuan Munye was puzzled for a moment, but he quickly understood.

Now that the city had fallen into such a state, the little boy was still living in the city.

Clearly, the people from the Jiang City Supernatural Bureau had already given up on this place.

At the same time, they had also abandoned these people.

Yuan Munye felt a little唏嘘 (xīxū, a sigh of regret) in his heart and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After all, this behavior was indeed a bit excessive, but if viewed from a macro perspective, doing so might not be wrong.

If they continued to get entangled here, it would be a terrible thing if the other cities fell.

"Are you willing to leave here with me?"

Yuan Munye didn't say any more nonsense.

"None of you are good people..."

"Negative emotion points from Xiao Jian +299..."

There was resentment, but not much, so they could still talk.

"Your name is Xiao Jian?"

Yuan Munye suddenly said.

The boy named Xiao Jian was suddenly stunned for a few seconds when he heard Yuan Munye call out his name. His gaze fell on Yuan Munye. "How did you know my name?"

"That's none of your business. If you follow me now, you might have a chance to live. If you don't leave, when the evil ghosts run rampant here, you won't be able to survive."

Yuan Munye didn't say any nonsense to the little boy.

When the little boy heard Yuan Munye say this, he frowned slightly. He naturally knew that the current situation was very bad. After waiting for a while, he said to Yuan Munye, "Are you really willing to take me away?"

"Of course, I can take you back to Yanjiang County or Jiang City."

Yuan Munye said indifferently.

When the little boy heard this, his eyes lit up. He naturally knew that Jiang City and Yanjiang County were still intact and had not been invaded by evil ghosts.

And he had just seen Yuan Munye kill the two evil ghosts in minutes.

He also roughly knew Yuan Munye's strength.

However, he still didn't agree immediately.

Yuan Munye looked at the little boy who still seemed hesitant, and asked, "Do you have any other concerns?"

"Yes, there's more than just me here, there are other people. If you want to take us away, take all of us away. Otherwise, I won't leave alone."

The little boy said what was on his mind.

Yuan Munye responded softly, but didn't say anything more.

The little boy could still think of his friends, which showed that he was also a loyal person.

"Okay, how many people are there?"

Yuan Munye asked.

"Come with me."

The little boy's gaze fell on Yuan Munye.

"Alright."

Yuan Munye didn't say anything nonsense and agreed directly.

The little boy started running in front, and Yuan Munye chased behind.

But after running for a while, suddenly a cloud of black mist appeared in front, and a huge evil ghost appeared, blocking the path of the two.
