Chapter 131 CHAPTER 130 : Encountering Yaksha Spirits
"Hey, you dare to lie to my face. Get lost. You all will be banned from stepping even a foot on our hotel from now onward." The middle-aged man said and waved at those 6 bald monks sending them all flying out of the hotel. Then the man apologized to Joey and his group and disappeared from there.
Joey booked two rooms. Then they went up to their rooms.
After nightfall, the Huai Yun city became so quiet. It seemed like no one lives in this place.
After midnight, three silhouettes sneaked out from the hotel. They all wore the black hooded robes the same as those worn by the assassins that Joey had killed before.
They were flying high up in the sky. They were Joey, Rose, and Hai Yun. Joey used an invisibility and aura suppression formation array on them keeping all of them invisible in the sky.
Then, they flew all around the city observing anything unusual. It was a new moon day. So, it was completely pitch black dark.
After observing for 2 hrs, suddenly white mist started covering the city slowly. When the city was completely covered by the white mist, two figures suddenly appeared on the highway.
They quickly walked toward the small mountain beside the western side of The Huai Yun City.
After reaching the bottom of the mountain, the two figures took out a paper talisman each and started chanting a spell.
After the cast the spell on the paper talismans, suddenly the two talismans rotated rapidly and new space appeared before them. Then, the two looked at each other and one of them spoke, "The portal to the secret pocket space is opened. Are you ready?"
"Yes, I am ready. Let's go inside." The other replied. Then, the two entered inside that distorted space. After they entered, the circle of the distorted space became smaller and smaller slowly.
"Ladies, the fun part of our investigation is about to begin. Let's go inside." Joey said and entered inside it. Later, Rose also followed behind Joey afterward.
"Alright, this will be the last time I will agree with him." Hui Yun murmured to herself and entered inside the distorted space too.
Just after she entered the distorted space vanished completely and the thick white mist covering the city vanished too gradually.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Joey, Rose, and Hai Yun appeared inside a forest and fell on the ground hitting hard with their butts.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" The three screamed with pain at the same time.
They stood up slowly and caressed their behinds.
"I feel like something is wrong with my body. " Hai Yun said.
"What is going on? Why is my body not like before?" Rose also asked with confusion.
Joey also felt it too. Then, he suddenly started to understand something.
"Floral lady, you try flying up," Joey suggested.
Hai Yun jumped up high in the air and tried to fly. But, suddenly she was pulled down by a heavyweight. She again fell on the ground with her butt.
"Ouch! " She screamed with pain and asked, "Why can't I even fly in the air?"
"Alright, I know what is going on here," Joey said.
"Then tell us ." Hai Yun demanded quickly.
"This world seems to have different laws compared to our world. So, we feel our bodies unnatural. " Joey explained.
" This world has more gravity than ours. What do you mean? I can't understand what you are saying." Hai Yun asked again.
"My bad! What I mean is this world has more solid natural laws than ours. So, we are all restricted by this world law. But, worry not, it is also a good thing. Now, we can now comprehend a higher level of natural Daos and laws from this place. " Joey explained again.
Rose looked at Joey and saw that he was not affected by the restriction of these new world laws.
"Don't worry. Firstly, you two try to adjust your body weight. " Joey said.
After a few minutes later, they felt natural again. Then, both of them tried to fly again but failed repetitively.
"Let's find some human settlement first," Joey suggested.
Then, the three started traveling around the forest. What they encountered were beasts of different strengths. They just met a lvl 5 leopard beast and had a fierce fight with it. They killed it finally after expending much of their effort.
"The beast in this world is also many times stronger than that of our world's beasts with similar cultivation based." Hai Yun said.
They traveled for a week and finally came out of the forest reaching a vast plain grassland. Then they saw some human settlement at the far horizon.
"Isn't that huts? We finally found it." Rose spoke pointing at those huts.
"Alright, let's go there and observe those villages first," Joey suggested.
Both the ladies agreed to his idea. After these few weeks, Hai Yun started to follow Joey's suggestion unconsciously.
After they reached the village, they hid around it and started observing the whole villagers for a week.
During this week, they came to understand and learned many things about the villagers. The village was called The Morning Dew Village and the whole villagers were yaksha spirits that had formed the human form. But, the interesting thing was that they all think themself as normal humans.
(meaning: they don't know their own identity. In the mythology of India, Yaksha is a class of generally benevolent but sometimes mischievous, capricious, sexually rapacious, or even murderous nature spirits who are the custodians of treasures that are hidden in the earth and in the roots of trees. They are powerful magicians and shape-shifters.)
All of them didn't have a single ounce of essence qi in their bodies.
Joey and the two came to understand that, the villagers were tormented by the nearby local powerhouse, Black Panther tribes. Every year, they will come to collect crops, their women, and children. The black Panther Tribes were a group of panther beasts ruled under a lvl 7 Panther emperor. In short, they used the group of Yaksha spirit as their slave, and sometimes they brutally tortured them.
