Chapter 373: It’s So Hard to Act As A Ghost
The matter of Caro Zhengyang entering seclusion for seven hundred years and finally becoming a Prime Emperor powerhouse had become the hottest topic in the cultivation world.
On the Beast Tamer Alliance’s website, there were people writing posts to discuss these things every day. However, in a large number of posts discussing Caro Zhengyang, there were occasionally a few posts about Kui Mountain’s female ghost causing trouble.
Because they were young, the young Beast Tamers were filled with curiosity about this world. When they found out that there was actually a female ghost’s vengeful spirit causing trouble on the Divine Moon Empire’s Kui Mountain, they actually opened an adventure seeking friend post on the alliance website—
[Three days later, I’ll go to Kui Mountain to investigate the truth. Do you dare to come?]
The original poster posted a gathering thread and gathered the Beast Tamers who were interested in the female ghost of Kui Mountain to investigate the truth.
Soon, many Beast Tamers responded.
First post: “I’ll go! My house is not far from Kui Mountain. We can reach it in half a day.”
Second post: “I want to register too. I’ve wanted to meet this female ghost for a long time.”
Third post: “Count me in!”
Fourth post: “Everyone, be careful. The situation has been unstable recently. The Blood Peacock Organization is looking for an opportunity to harm the Beast Tamers. Everyone, it’s best to run around less recently.”
The fourth post’s reply was like a blow to the head, making this group of impulsive youths come to their senses.
In the end, there were eight Beast Tamers who were willing to go to Kui Mountain to search for ghosts. There were five men and three women. These eight people met in the Prosperous Capital the next night. They stayed in the Prosperous Capital for the night and set off for Kui Mountain early on the third day.
The southwest region of Kui Mountain was under the jurisdiction of Huayang Province. The nearest city was Huayan City. It was close to noon when the eight of them arrived at Huayan City safely.
In order to earn extra money and satisfy the curiosity of others, these eight people even opened a live-stream.
After arriving in Huayan City, they rented two SUVs and set off along the cement road towards Kui Mountain.
Six hundred years ago, Kui Mountain was also a famous cultivation mountain in the Divine Moon Empire. Ever since the Su Clan of Kui Mountain was exterminated, Kui Mountain had become a barren mountain. Now, there was actually no place to go.
The off-road vehicle stopped at the foot of the mountain range. The eight of them abandoned the car and walked into the deep forest. As they communicated with the netizens in the live-stream, they searched for traces of the female ghost.
“According to the residents of the town at the foot of the mountain, the female ghost is active in this barren mountain. Every day after five o’clock in the afternoon, we can hear the female ghost’s cries on Kui Mountain.”
As the young man holding the camera recorded the scene in front of him, he asked his companions in a low voice, “What time is it now?”
A female voice replied gently, “It’s almost five. There’s still three minutes.”
“Everyone, be quiet. The time to witness the ghosts is coming.”
Everyone stepped on the grass and continued to go deeper. After walking for more than ten minutes, they still did not hear any cries. The live-stream room was instantly filled with boos.
[It’s a rumor! It must be a rumor! Su Tingxue has been dead for more than 600 years. Her corpse has long been weathered by the Black Dome, and her soul should have dispersed long ago.]
[Boring! There’s no ghost!]
After hearing no cries for a long time, the adventurer team began to suspect the authenticity of the rumors.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark and the road was becoming more and more difficult to walk, a girl suggested, “It’s almost dark. Why don’t we retreat first?”
“Since we’re already here, let’s wait a while longer. Perhaps we’ll see the female ghost?”
“Ah, well…”
Just as everyone was hesitating, someone in the live-stream suddenly said, “What is that?!”
“What?” Seeing the comments in the live-stream, the eight Beast Tamers of the adventure team were somewhat puzzled.
[Look at the fog in front of you!]
At this moment, the Beast Tamer in charge of photography also realized that something was wrong. He called his companions to look in front. “Quick, look in front. What’s that?”
In front of them, there was actually a thick black fog rapidly spreading from the depths of the desolate mountain.
“Fog? What fog comes so quickly?”
In the live-stream, a knowledgeable Beast Tamer immediately pointed out: “It’s not fog! It’s resentment! A large amount of resentment!”
[God, there’s so much resentment. How aggrieved had the owner of the resentment been?!]
After knowing that this wasn’t fog but resentment, the adventurer team was somewhat stunned.
“Could there really be a ghost?” The timid female cultivator was already trembling.
For a female ghost to be able to produce such a powerful grievous energy, her cultivation level must have been high. They were just a group of little fellows who had just awakened their beast forms. How could they be a match for such a powerful soul?
At this moment, someone discovered a figure moving in the fog.
“Look! A woman appeared on the camera!”
The Beast Tamer audience in the live-stream widened their eyes and stared at the woman’s shadow in the fog. They wanted to see if it was a fake person or a real ghost.
Even Xuan Ye stared at the screen.
“Ah! Ghost!”
When the eight members of the adventure team saw the female ghost, they suddenly threw away the camera, turned around, and ran. They only heard their screams getting further and further away.
The camera was lying on the ground. The resentment quickly rushed over and covered the camera with a layer of fog.
At that moment, a long-haired woman in a wide-sleeved dress suddenly floated past the camera. Wherever she floated, the grievous energy would follow.
After the eight youths ran back to the car, they remembered that the live-stream wasn’t closed yet, so they hurriedly went online and closed the live-stream.
At this point, this ghost visit was completed.
After the live stream, the entire cultivation world believed that there was a female ghost at Kui Mountain.
Sheng Xiao finished watching the live stream and asked Yu Huang, “How many days has Feng Si and Kong Qing been at Kui Mountain?”
Yu Feng said, “It’s been more than a week.”
“Tsk, these two people have quite a tacit understanding.” One was in charge of controlling the grievous energy, while the other was in charge of pretending to be a ghost. Their cooperation was flawless, and it was enough to deceive everyone.
After the live-stream ended, Xuan Ye sat in front of the computer alone and opened the live-stream replay. Xuan Ye skipped two-thirds of the live-stream. At this moment, the adventure team happened to capture the scene of resentment surging over.
Xuan Ye let go of the mouse and looked at the scene on the live-stream camera without blinking.
Resentment quickly surged from all directions as an illusory woman’s figure floated in it. Then, the adventurer team threw away the camera and ran.
The camera fell to the ground and was quickly blurred by the thick resentment aura. At this moment, a slender and graceful ghost shadow quickly passed by the camera.
Xuan Ye suddenly pressed the pause button!
He took a screenshot of this scene and zoomed in on the photo.
After the photo was taken, the female ghost’s blurry face was clearly shown. Xuan Ye trembled when he saw Su Tingxue’s side profile.
“M-Mentor? It’s really you!”
Xuan Ye suddenly stood up, turned around, and pushed open a door at the back before walking in. This was his collection room, which was filled with antiques and treasures from various eras.
In front of an ancient shelf, there hung a slightly yellowed drawing paper. The woman on the paper was wearing a white dress with wide sleeves. Her long black hair was draped behind her shoulders like a waterfall.
She was sitting behind a table and concocting medicine.
It was a woman who looked gentle and beautiful.
It was Su Tingxue, who Xuan Ye had drawn.
Su Xuanye placed his hand gently on Su Tingxue’s cheek. He recalled all those years with Su Tingxue, and his heart ached.
“Mentor, do you hate me?”
…
At night, stars filled the sky above Kui Mountain.
The terrain of Kui Mountain was steep, and the river and high mountains intersected each other. It was extremely steep. Su Xuanye’s psychic power turned into a staircase as he slowly walked down from the sky and arrived at a mountain in the northern suburbs of Kui Mountain.
This mountain was originally Su Tingxue’s residence. In order to completely remove any traces of Su Tingxue’s existence, the mountain that she had lived on had been cut off at the waist.
Su Xuanye stood on the flat mountain peak and looked down at the river at the foot of the mountain. He couldn’t help but think of how he was naughty when he was young and jumped into the stream at the foot of the mountain to take a bath. In the end, he was so forgetful that he forgot to go home for lunch. Su Tingxue found him and whipped him with the bamboo vine.
The moonlight cast a layer of silver light on the river. This scene was so beautiful that it made one’s heart flutter. However, the person who would whip him with the bamboo vine had long become someone of the past.
The mountain breeze blew past and lifted Su Xuanye’s snow-white hair.
Suddenly, a smooth hand grabbed a strand of white hair and pulled it gently.
Su Xuanye sensed that his hair had been grabbed. A look of shock flashed across his eyes.
Mentor?
