Chapter 416: The Thoughts of The Fox Demon

Some people revealed thoughtful expressions. The middle-aged man looked at the crowd and said sternly, “I shouldn’t have said this, but now…”

He sighed, gritted his teeth, and spoke again.

“I’ve encountered those filthy things in the mountains before, and there was more than one of them!”

“What?”

These words immediately gave everyone shock.

The man had encountered those things, and not just one?

“You’re joking, aren’t you? If you really did run into one, how could you come back alive?”

The middle-aged man looked at the crowd, but before he could say anything, someone stood out and said, “You’ve met that person too?”

They looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

The middle-aged man was also taken aback, but he immediately nodded as if he knew who they were talking about.

“What are you guys talking about? What person?”

The crowd was a little anxious by the two’s riddles. The two looked at each other, and the middle-aged man continued, “The one we’re talking about is the Fox Immortal who lives on this mountain!”

“Fox Immortal?”

Everyone was shocked. If the word “ghost” was taboo in the village, then Immortals were the existences everyone believed in and worshipped.

“There’s a Fox Immortal in this mountain?”

Even though a Fox Immortal was not as reverent as a real Immortal, they were still considered Immortals!

Since ancient times, Immortals had always opposed those dirty things. If there was a Fox Immortal in the mountain, would it watch so many people be killed by those dirty things?

“That’s right. Originally, Its Lordship forbade us from speaking of its existence, but now…”

At this point, the middle-aged man did not say anything more. Instead, he looked at everyone. “I can only say this much. It’s up to you to decide whether you’re coming.”

After that, the middle-aged man turned to look at those willing to go to the rescue and waved his hand.

“Let’s go!”

Under his leadership, more than half of the people on the team followed. The rest hesitated for a while before they gritted their teeth and chased after him.

“I hope there really is a Fox Immortal in this mountain.” Many people prayed in their hearts.

At this point, even the most unwilling person could not escape back to the village in peace. If they did that, they would be isolated when everyone returned from the mountains.

It was human nature. If they were in the majority, they would not have any psychological burden even if they did evil.

However, if they were isolated, they would suffer endless attacks even if it was a small matter.

…

Deep within the forest in Saint King Mountain, a patch of bush collapsed, and the shrubs were cut off, revealing a large area of neat and flat ground.

“Rogue ghosts? Why are there so many rogue ghosts here?”

Lin Qiye floated in the air and looked at the young men lying on the ground. His face darkened.

He had killed all the ghosts surrounding the group of young men, and those screams came from the ghosts being purified.

So many ghosts gathered in one area. Could there be a leader? Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.

Generally speaking, it was not strange to occasionally encounter one or two rogue ghosts in the mountains.

But this time, it was a group. Judging from their movements, they were in a team and organized, not merely a bunch of scattered individuals.

Lin Qiye could not help but suspect that there was a leader behind this.

“Could it be a tiger demon? But what’s with the formation in the mountain? That should be something only cultivators can master.”

According to common sense, anything that involved the immortal path was on the opposite side of evil.

The tiger demon controlled the rogue ghosts to do evil, so they were definitely the targets of the cultivators.

However, there should be cultivators in Saint King Mountain, so why would a tiger demon be allowed to stay here?

Everything was strange. Lin Qiye was on high alert and secretly listed Saint King Mountain as a temporary forbidden area.

He glanced at the young men lying on the ground and trembling. His mental power turned into a warm current to calm everyone’s emotions.

“Get up, all of you. I’ve already killed the evil creatures.”

Lin Qiye’s figure appeared. Under the comfort of his mental power, the men recovered and looked up in the direction of the sound.

“Ghost!” Someone couldn’t help but shout out the moment they saw Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye frowned and used his mental power to scan the area. Everyone was instantly immobilized.

“Aren’t you all quite bold? And you, when you entered the mountain, didn’t you say that you were going to bring a female ghost back to be your wife? Why are you so terrified now?”

Although more than half a year had passed, Lin Qiye still looked like a chubby baby.

His body was translucent as he floated in the air. Anyone could tell at a glance that he was a ghost.

“Please spare me, my lord! Please spare me!”

The short young man who was called out by Lin Qiye shrunk his neck and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

The others held their breaths and looked at Lin Qiye in horror. They did not dare to move.

Lin Qiye was a little speechless. He turned to look at everyone and said, “I’m not a zombie. What are you guys holding your breath for?”

Upon hearing his words, everyone’s expressions became stiff.

However, someone who was a little braver asked tentatively, “My lord, did you kill t-those things just now?”

The questioner was tensed, but he was considered the braver one among the group. He had witnessed the process of Lin Qiye killing the group of rogue ghosts.
