Chapter 373
The group walked not too slowly, but they already explored quite a big area.
There were basically no living creatures in this mythical continent full of ghosts. All they could see were all kinds of zombies. The most powerful zombie king had noticed their whereabouts, but he wasn’t sure whether he could fight against three nascent soul cultivators at the same time. He simply had to give up after hesitating.
Along the way, Tianle looked extremely worried, and he was even scared from time to time by some stuff suddenly emerging.
He already completely twisted Xu Ziyan’s sleeves, and there were many spots of water stains on them – they were all stained with sweat.
Xu Ziyan could tell that Tianle was really nervous, and this kind of nervousness wasn’t faked.
Initially, Xu Ziyan was worried that this was some kind of trap set by Tianle, but he was gradually convinced by looking at his torn sleeves.
“Where is this damn door hidden?!” Tianle felt resentful – he would never be so afraid of ghosts if his damn master didn’t trick him so much! He felt unlucky enough to encounter this continent full of phantoms and they now even couldn’t find the way out.
“We have checked three quarters of the mainland, and we should be able to find it soon.” Xu Ziyan comforted him.
“There seems to be something over there.” Xu Zirong suddenly pointed to the woods in a distance said so, as he just saw a flash of red streamer. In this world full of darkness, that flash of streamer was very eye-catching.
“Okay, let’s go and have a look.” Xu Ziyan walked over. Just now, Tianle had been pulling his sleeves this whole time, and he’d already pissed off Xu Zirong even if that’s not his original intention.
He had been feeling the super miserable gaze from Xu Zirong this whole time, and in order to prevent another disaster, they might need to “retreat” for another two weeks after this trip!
After walking a few steps, a huge black shadow rose from the gloomy forest in front of him.
Tianle pointed tremblingly and asked, “what…what is that?”
Xu Ziyan couldn’t help frowning. Judging from its size, the ghost hidden in the woods was obviously extraordinary, but it was impossible to make them give up searching.
Now that they had already searched three-quarters of the entire continent, they might discover the next light curtain door soon.
Since Zirong said that there was a red light flashing in the woods, there was a high possibility for the door to be hiding there. Xu Ziyan would never give up even if their purpose was to pass through that world as soon as possible.
It’s only that…
He silently turned his head and glanced at Tianle who was clutching his sleeve tightly, but his footsteps seemed to be nailed to the ground.
==Damn it, what should I do now? Am I going to shove him away and what will happen if I do?
Xu Zirong noticed that Tianle had been completely petrified, and his whole body was as stiff as a fossil.
Xu Zirong really wanted to kill him immediately if he could, but they did fight together against the snow demon just now, it would thus be inappropriate for him to turn face.
“Ahem, I’ll go and get rid of that thing. Zirong, watch him for a while.” Xu Ziyan was very helpless, as Tianle had turned into a stone sculpture. If he didn’t take any action, he was really worried that he would just pass out…
It would be really surprising to see a nascent soul cultivator passing out just because he’s too afraid of ghosts. Xu Ziyan was just a little worried that he’d kill them both once he woke up.
Even a guy with clinginess disease had his dignity!
Xu Zirong’s didn’t have any advantages with his blood spells in dealing with ghosts, and they even became more inferior comparing to Purple Night Divine Thunder, which carried evil-breaking attributes on its own.
Xu Ziyan naturally had to act on his own if he wanted to kill all the ghosts, it’s only that Tianle still refused to let him go.
Xu Ziyan tugged lightly, but Tianle was in such a petrified state that he refused to let go even a little bit.
Xu Ziyan: == I might have to cut off his sleeve today.
A flash of lightning popped out from his fingertips, and he cut off half of his sleeve. However, this inadvertent action strongly stimulated Tianle, making him completely out of the state of petrification and turned into a state of madness…
Xu Ziyan: =?=Wait, wait a minute, what’s going on?
Tianle’s eyes turned blank, but the moves in his hands became extremely fierce. He jumped up suddenly and rushed towards the ghost in the woods. A dazzling light burst out from his body, like a scorching sun falling from the sky.
“Oh!” Any ghosts would be afraid of sunlight, and even those old ghosts with profound level of cultivation could only avoid the damage of sunlight to a certain extent, and an old ghost who had been around for many years would definitely not be able to defeat Tianle, who turned himself into the sun.
The huge black shadow in the woods suddenly enveloped the sun that Tianle had formed, but the black weapon couldn’t completely cover the light inside.
No one had an idea how Tianle did it, but the layers of black shadows were quickly penetrated layer by layer by the dazzling white light, and finally—like a destroyed star, the burst of light wiped out the entire continent, lighting up the sky.
A tidal wave of spiritual power spread out from the center of the explosion, and all the ghosts touched by this wave turned into flying ashes instantly…
Xu Ziyan: =?= shit! Is this a nuclear bomb or what…
Wait, what about Tianle? Could it be that he’d blown himself up?
After the dazzling light and violent fluctuations gradually dissipated, Xu Ziyan rushed to the center of the forest.
The phantom aura that once surrounded this place was completely wiped out. However, since ghost was its main attribute, the aura would soon surround it again.
It’s just that the forest at this time no longer looked as gloomy as it used to be. Although the black trees still looked depressing, it’s still better.
The huge black shadow they had seen before didn’t even leave any trace behind. Xu Ziyan searched around and finally found Tianle trembling and huddling under a tree.
Seeing Xu Ziyan, Tianle rushed up almost full of tears. He firmly grabbed Xu Ziyan’s other sleeve and refused to let go no matter how fiercely Xu Zirong stared at him.
Xu Ziyan was silently looking at the pitiful Tianle and felt really speechless. So what about being afraid of ghosts? How could you almost wipe off the whole continent if you’re so scared?
No wonder Tianle wasn’t worried of any danger even though he’s so frightened. Once his fears reached a certain extent, his maniac mode would be turned on automatically.
Even Xu Ziyan found it so tricky to deal with Tianle under this condition, and it’d be impossible to kill him with his impeccable escaping skills.
“Cultivator…let’s…let’s go.” Although there were no ghosts around, Tianle still looked scared.
Fortunately, this time Xu Zirong didn’t mistakenly look at the streamer. What was hidden in the depths of the forest was indeed a light curtain door leading to the next world.
This time, the light curtain door was in vibrant green. After walking in the dark ghost world for a long time, everyone felt a lot more relaxed with such bright colors at first glance.
“Let’s go.” Xu Ziyan didn’t like the world of ghosts and monsters either. There were rotting corpses and skeletons everywhere, even half a day felt like years with a sick guy constantly pulling his sleeves.
After passing through the light curtain again, they saw a vast grassland.
The grassland looked endless, and there was a soft breeze, setting off layers of green waves.
With fresh air and a wide vision of green fields, this place was like a paradise compared to what they had previously seen.
“Ah!” A scream broke the tranquility here.
Xu Ziyan looked over and saw a group of cultivators running away in panic. They seemed to be chased by something behind, and the cultivator who had just screamed was dragged into the grass by a huge force when Xu Ziyan turned his gaze.
These cultivators didn’t have a high level of cultivation, and the one reaching the highest level was a golden core cultivator. When they saw Xu Ziyan from a distance, they couldn’t help looking surprised. Then, they turned ecstatic and all ran towards Xu Ziyan.
“Stop!” Xu Zirong suddenly stepped forward and shouted at the people from afar.
The leading cultivator’s eyes darkened. He raised his head suddenly with a look of grief and anger, “cultivator, please save us!”
Xu Zirong’s eyes sharpened, “don’t blame me for being rude if you don’t stop.”
The group of cultivators secretly passed a few glances to each other, but they soon turned a deaf ear and ran towards them. They seemed determined that nothing would be done against them.
“Hum.” Tianle snorted coldly and shot a cold flying knife.
He once again became his old self after coming out of the ghost continent. Besides the Xu brothers, ‘one of his kind’, he saw everyone else as enemies.
After noticing his friend being ignored, he immediately attempted to seek justice for Xu Ziyan.
It was indeed super easy for a nascent soul to attack a golden core. The leading cultivator’s throat was cut through by a small knife. The rest of them immediately stopped and looked at the opposite side in panic.
Tianle flipped the bangs on his forehead leisurely and blew towards the kinfe, “my knife always hits the right target!”
As soon as he said so, he immediately turned away and looked at Xu Ziyan flatteringly, “so? Did I look handsome?”
Xu Ziyan: == What’s the use of looking handsome? Aren’t you psychotic anyway?
Before Xu Ziyan replied, one of the cultivators was agitated, “how courageous you are! We aren’t enemies and yet you dared to attack a disciple from the Nine Realms Immortal Sect. I assume that you were taking advantage of the fact that none of our elders are here.”
“You guys looked so sneaky and didn’t stop even after I shouted. Do you think it’s normal if I didn’t do anything?” Xu Ziyan didn’t want to look weak and refuted.
