novelxo Chapter 769 Arrival
"It's no wonder that the two of you are willing to share him; your husband is an absolute beast, and my body is beyond exhausted." Yun Gongzhu replied with a strange smile. "Fortunately, I have reached the Emperor God Realm, and my lightning tribulations have repeatedly tempered my body. Otherwise, I would not be able to survive under his onslaught, and I would fall unconscious because of him."
Ling Yu'er nodded in agreement. "A cultivator in the Five God Realms is truly remarkable, and I truly can't wait to reach that stage so I can help my husband face our enemies."
"Enemies?"
"Yes." Xiao Xiao answered Yun Gongzhu. "However, we cannot tell you about them, and it would be better if you did not get involved in our private affairs, or it would be detrimental to yourself."
"Are your enemies that strong?"
Xiao Xiao pointed at Zhou Yu. "Our enemies are much stronger than her, and we won't be able to face them head-on."
Not only was Yun Gongzhu shocked by that, but the other two women were also shocked, and Qiao Lingzhi asked her. "How can you guys have problems with those powerful cultivators, Big Sis Xiao?"
"I can't tell you anything."
Qiao Lingzhi pouted her lips and grumbled in her heart, as Xiao Xiao and the others were always secretive with them.
"That's the village." Suddenly, Yun Gongzhu spoke as he pointed towards the Death Village.
Nangong Nichang and Qiao Lingzhi trembled in fear after they turned towards the village, especially since the atmosphere in the area was so quiet and the place looked gloomy.
Unlike them, Ling Xiya and Ling Yu'er looked very excited, and Xiao Xiao then looked up at Zhou Yu. "What about that woman? Did something happen to her?"
"No." Zhou Yu pointed to a building in the middle of the village. "That woman was hiding there in her beast form, and I was protecting her, but she didn't seem to be able to get rid of her fear after she saw that ferocious ghost last night."
"A ferocious ghost?" Yun Gongzhu looked at her in surprise.
"Yes." Zhou Yu told her directly. "The Gui Clan of the Earth Cloud Realm are ghost cultivators, and they use ghosts as their tools, especially the ghosts of dead humans carrying deep grudges. However, turning an ordinary ghost into a ferocious ghost is not easy, and they need a lot of sacrifice for that."
"So they were the culprits behind their deaths? And they deliberately used their ghosts to strengthen their ferocious ghosts?"
"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded to her. "Unfortunately, not many people know about ghost cultivation techniques, so they have never been able to solve the mystery behind their deaths."
Yun Gongzhu agreed with that, as he himself had never heard of or met ghost cultivators before, especially since they acted secretively and were active at night. "Are you able to destroy that ferocious ghost?"
"I can't kill it because a ferocious ghost is tied to its summoner, and we can only kill it if we also kill that person." Yun Gongzhu raised her eyebrows after he heard that, and Zhou Yu explained it to her again. "Mo Chen can do something about the ghost villagers, especially since he has a strong light qi, and he can use it to purify them, so they can enter the circle of reincarnation."
lightsΝοvel Yun Ghongzhu fell into thought for some time before she asked her again. "Then what about that ferocious ghost? If we don't exterminate it before Mo Chen purifies the ghost of those villagers, I'm afraid it will attack other villages, and the number of victims will be even greater."
"Haha." Zhou Yu giggled at that. "Even though we can't destroy that ferocious ghost, Mo Chen also has something we can rely on, and you will know his special qualities later."
'Does that mean you want Yun'er to absorb that ferocious ghost, Big Sis Yu? Wouldn't that be a problem for him? Moreover, you said that it's tied to the summoner, so I'm afraid he'll be affected by them.' Xiao Xiao asked her via voice transmission.
'Yes, I want Ling Yun to absorb it, and it will become valuable nutrition for his devil core.' Zhou Yu answered as she turned to her. 'However, you don't need to worry about him, especially since a ferocious ghost no longer has consciousness, and its summoner's consciousness won't be able to affect him either.'
'I hope you're right.' Xiao Xiao released a soft sigh. 'I really don't want Yun'er to be influenced by those evil cultivators, or she will become as evil as them.'
'Don't worry, it will never happen.'

After they arrived at the Death Village, Zhou Yu called Ling Yun, and he stowed the Icarus after everyone got off it.
However, the two young ladies immediately hugged his arms with trembling bodies, and Qiao Lingzhi said to him. "Ugh! Mo Chen! We shouldn't spend much time in this village! This village is extremely eerie; I certainly do not wish to encounter those ghosts, much less that ferocious one."
"I am also afraid of those ghosts, and I don't want to spend the night in this village, so we have to complete the mission as quickly as possible." Nangong Nichang said it as she hugged Ling Yun's arm very tightly.
Unlike them, Ling Xiya and Ling Yu'er immediately entered the village without hesitation. "Brother/Husband! I'll check the other side of the village!"
Ling Yun smiled in amusement at their antics, and he hugged their waists. "All right, you don't need to be scared like this, and their ghost's appearance should be no different from when they were alive."
"No!" Both women shook their heads and hugged his arms tighter, and he could feel their big and soft mounds pinching his arms.
Meanwhile, Tian Yueling was standing quite far behind them, but her expression looked complicated after last night's events, and she still didn't know what to talk to them about. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows when she saw a two-horned white deer walking limply out of a building, and it turned into a woman who was none other than Jiao Lu.
"Hehe! There she is, safe and sound." Zhao Yu said it with a chuckle.
However, they could clearly see that Jiao Lu's face was deathly pale, and her eyes were also puffy as those ghosts kept wandering throughout the village all night long.
Jiao Lu was stunned for a moment after she saw their group, but she immediately dashed towards them, and he jumped at Ling Yun once she arrived in front of them, causing him and the two women to fall backwards.
"Ouch!" Nangong Nichang and Qiao Lingzhi screamed loudly.
"Huaaa! I'm so scared, Mo Chen!" Jiao Lu cried hysterically as she hugged Ling Yun. "Huaaa! Your wife is really evil! She left me in this cursed place alone!"contemporary romance
'Tch! She is a beast, and her cultivation is higher than mine, but she is such a crybaby!' Ling Yun inwardly grumbled as he lifted Jiao Lu to her feet. "It's okay; nothing bad happened to you, and we're here now, so you can stop crying."
"No!" Jiao Lu shouted at him as he cried louder. "Huaa! You don't know how scary that ghost is! Its body is so big, its eyes are red, and its appearance is really scary! I'm really scared that it will swallow me alive!"
Hearing that, Qiao Lingzhi and Nangong Nichang became even more frightened, and their faces turned deathly pale. However, Xiao Xiao embraced their shoulders and calmed them down. "You two have no reason to be this way, and we will safeguard you against any harm that the ghost may inflict."
"En." They nodded at her, but they still couldn't shake the fear in their hearts.
Ling Yun then pushed Jiao Lu back and asked her. "Is there only one giant ghost?"
"Yes." Jiao Lu nodded to him. "However, there were many other ghosts last night, and they were probably the ghosts of the villagers."
"What did they do last night?"
"I don't know." Jiao Lu replied with a firm shake of her head. "I'm too afraid of that giant ghost, so I don't dare move from my spot, let alone peek at them."
"I see." Ling Yun seemed a little disappointed after he heard that. 'Xiao Yin!'
[What can I do for you, Master?]
'I want you to scan this entire village and find that ferocious ghost's hideout as quickly as possible.'
[All right, I'll do it right now, but I need time to find the ghost's hiding place.]
'It's fine.' After that, Ling Yun immediately led them into the village, but Jiao Lu had no intention of letting go of his arm.
However, Tian Yueling and Yun Gongzhu immediately went to another area to check, and Xiao Xiao took the two young women to another area as well.
"What should we do now?"
Zhou Yu shook her head at him. "We can't do anything for now, especially since those ghosts only come out at night, so we have to wait for night to face them."
"Are... are we really going to spend the night here?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded to him. "I have taken a mission about this village, so I will complete the mission by freeing the ghosts of the villagers from the control of that ferocious ghost."
[Master, you should go to the hill behind this village; I found a hidden cave there, and there is an interesting item that might be useful for you.]
