Mu Huai re-entered the village while Ming Shu sat outside waiting for him. About an hour later, he and Ye Cong emerged from the fog.

A few people followed behind them. They seemed to be not lightly injured.

Being able to survive at the hands of evil spirits, these people’s strength was also not ordinary.

“Lord, are these things evil spirits?” Ye Cong asked Mu Huai while bandaging himself.

Evil spirits... which were really strange to him.

It can be said that he only heard of them in some stories and legends.

“Yes.” They were evil spirits, suppressed by the first emperor of the Wushang Dynasty several hundred years ago.

Ye Cong swallowed a mouthful of cold air and looked back into the village with a lingering fear. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the village was almost obscured completely.

If it weren’t for the lord’s sudden appearance, they might have been buried inside.

...

Evil spirits came out from everywhere and proceeded to slaughter human beings day and night. It seemed their mission was to consume all humans.

The people were in a panic, fleeing from place to place. But the number of spirits was too great; no matter where one went, bloodthirsty spirits were expected to be encountered.

No prelude and no buffering. In just one night, the war between humans and spirits began.

Blood and bodies occupied the entire world.

Mu Huai was going to find the Dragon Root, the place where the evil spirits were suppressed.

He intended to order guards to escort Ming Shu back to the imperial city. In the current situation, it was not realistic to go to the border. It might be better to place her inside the protective scope of the Heavenly Temple.

This was perfectly identical to Ming Shu’s plan: going back to the city for delicious food. But after they walked a distance, Ming Shu suddenly changed tack.

It turned out Ming Shu saw Cheng Jinyun, the fake female protagonist, who seemed to be looking for the Dragon Root as well. In order to gain Hatred Points and complete her mission, Ming Shu had to sacrifice the opportunity to return to the imperial city for fine food.

Cheng Jinyun didn’t meet Mu Huai’s team, but they were moving in the same direction.

The farther they marched, the more often they saw withered trees. In the end, large areas of deadened plants were presented to their eyes, and no green could be seen on the whole mountain. They seemed to have arrived at a lifeless world.

“Almost there.” Mu Huai looked into the distance. Within sight was only dead vegetation. Still and silent.

The evil spirits’ powerful aura had made these plants die.

“Even if you find it, what can you do?” Ming Shu stood next to Mu Huai with her arms crossed over her chest, smiling lightly.

Mu Huai shook his head. He didn’t know what to do. But at the very least, he couldn’t do nothing and just wait around.

“Why are you coming then?”

Ming Shu laughed. “Just to have a look; I won’t do anything.”

“Sounds like a new way to find yourself dead.” Mu Huai maintained his cold voice.

“Isn’t Uncle seeking death himself?” So many evil spirits have already been wandering everywhere. He is now going to their place of origin. Aren’t there even more of them?

Mu Huai glanced at her. His lips moved, but no voice was heard.

Then he ordered, “keep going.”

Ming Shu closed her mouth and caught up with Mu Huai, who was walking faster. “Uncle, how do you think evil spirits taste?”

Mu Huai’s cold expression cracked. “You want to eat evil spirits?”

What the hell? Are you going to eat all kinds of creatures in this world? Do you want to eat a human?

Ming Shu shook her head. “No.”

“Then why ask?” Mu Huai was speechless.

Ming Shu honestly answered: “I just want to know what evil spirits taste like.”After all, I have never eaten one.

Mu Huai rolled his eyes internally. “Since you don’t eat them, don’t ask.”

“Are they tasty?”

“I don’t know.”

Several evil spirits following far behind Ming Shu and Mu Huai were really shocked. They looked at each other fearfully. Did they just hear someone saying that she wanted to eat evil spirits?

It’s always the evil spirits who eat people, how did it become a human eating evil spirits?

This was not good. They had to share this news with the evil spirit king.

...

Withered trees stood all over the mountains, and the whole world was colored in gray, lifeless and hopeless.

A group of small evil spirits were circling around a cave, discussing fiercely.

“That’s what she said.”

“She also said evil spirits taste bad.”

“Right, right, this human should dare to eat us and dislike our flavor.”

A man was sitting on a stone chair in the middle of the cave, his hair falling over his shoulders. With a feminine face, surrounded by a strong aura of evil, it seemed hard to tell if it was a he or a she.

After listening to the small evil spirits’ report, the man’s flame-like red lips curled slightly. “Was that human really saying this?”

“Yes, yes, we heard it clearly.” The spirits nodded immediately.

“Go and bring her back.”

A human who dares to eat evil spirits? Interesting.

“Catch her, catch her!”

“Let’s go, brothers, to catch that bold human!”

The evil spirits walked out excitedly. But soon their voices disappeared like someone had pressed the pause button. The entire cave, even the mountain and forest, were caught in silence.

The man realized something. He quickly got up and went outside.

In the mountain forests outside, a group of people already awaited. They vigilantly studied the evil spirits. Some spirits lay on the ground not far away; it was uncertain if they were dead or alive.

“Well.” The man smiled as he partially covered his mouth. “You’ve arrived so soon.”

These were the people of the Heavenly Temple. They searched for the place with the strongest aura of evil as quickly as possible. And surprisingly, they succeeded. It was lucky of them to find this nest.

“Monster! You won’t survive unless you surrender!” a man in black clothes stepped forward and shouted. His voice shattered the silence of the mountains.

“Come, come, I heard similarly boring declarations several hundred years ago, can’t you humans think up some new words?” The man laughed with a voice that was neither masculine or feminine, the sound very harsh. “The humans of that time died long ago, but we are still alive. Don’t you think we spirits are the masters of the world?”

“Long live the king!”

“Long live the king!”

The little evil spirits shouted slogans with excitement.

Ming Shu, resting against a tree, watched the scene from a distance. However, the two sides kept talking nonsense for a long time. All they did was talk!

Are they going to fight or not?

I’m hungry.

“Who is your master now? Won’t he come out to meet me? After several hundred years, I didn’t expect you humans to become shrinking violets, hahahaha.” The male spirit smiled willfully.

“Huo Hu.”

A voice of vicissitudes echoed from the sky.

The evil spirit looked up in surprise.

An old man descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.

Huo Hu stared at the old man for a moment and smiled. “You know my name. It seems you are their master?”

The master revealed a solemn expression. “How did you come out?”

“It doesn’t matter how we come out. What’s important is that we are released now.” Huo Hu’s face suddenly turned gloomy, and his sharp voice pierced the air. “Human! You must pay for what you have done to us. Blood for blood!

“Boys, kill them for me.” Huo Hu laughed to the sky. “We’ll use their blood to pave the road of our prosperity.”

This world will only belong to we spirits.

Hearing this, all the evil spirits’ blood boiled and they rushed over with their weapons.

The old man waved away several evil spirits charging toward him. His body moved fast, hurtling at Huo Hu.

Huo Hu was still laughing wildly. “Old man—cunning humans! If it weren’t for you humans playing dirty tricks, how could we have been suppressed by you? This time, you are not so fortunate.”
