C9 A Strange Village

The flickering lights gave Nan Yudia a very strange feeling. It was now the third quarter of an hour. There should not be any lights in such a remote village. This village was really a little strange!

Of course, this was only Nan Yudia's feeling. Even if there was something strange in the small village... With her strength and realm, as long as she was careful, she should be fine. Seeing that Qi Zhuohao was so sleepy that his eyelids were heavy, she nodded and agreed to Qi Zhuohao's suggestion.

In places like small villages, most of them were mortals. There were very few martial artists. As for martial artists above the Yun Vein, it was almost impossible to appear!

As a martial artist at the Yun Meridian Realm, Nan Yudia did not have any problem sleeping for two or three days. But Qi Zhuohao was different. He was only a mortal. He did not sleep for a night. The next day, he did not have the strength to continue on his journey. He needed to replenish his sleep every day.

Of course, Nan Yudia's thoughts were not completely correct. If Qi Zhuohao cultivated the Fury Skill in the Fire Crystal Coffin, he did not need to sleep!

Nan Yudia felt somewhat helpless. He brought Qi Zhuohao along, and they only had half of the day's travel time. It was good that Qi Zhuohao needed to rest. They also needed to avoid being tracked by the Wen family. They could only travel at night and rest during the day. Once they reached Thousand Stars County, they would be safe.

Nan Yudia was not worried about herself, but Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao's situation. The experts of Wen family had all seen it. If the Wen family tracked down Qi Zhuohao's whereabouts... Qi Zhuohao! She had to think for Qi Zhuohao's sake!

Not long after, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia arrived in front of a small village on the road. There were only twenty to thirty households in this small village. Nan Yudia was even more surprised. This small village... Why was every house lit with candlelight?

There were no relay stations or inns in the small village. Could it be that the people in the village liked to light the lanterns and sleep?

"Qi Zhuohao, I keep feeling that this place is very strange. I think we should leave quickly!"

The more Nan Yudia thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Her voice was very low and very soft. Hearing this, Qi Zhuohao did not think much of it. Such a small village. Moreover, the village was built on the side of the main road. It was not too far away from Taihee Town. What could be so strange about it?

"Miss Nan, I think you must be tired! If we don't sleep here, are we going to sleep in the wilderness?"

Qi Zhuohao did not want to sleep in the wilderness, especially at night. It was summer in Hongwu Continent, and the mosquitoes were biting hard!

While they were talking, Qi Zhuohao had already walked up to knock on the door of a house. Nan Yudia shook her head helplessly when she saw this. Perhaps she was overthinking it. She quickly walked up, but she was secretly vigilant and vigilant in her heart.

Qi Zhuohao knocked on the door for a while, but the room was still dead silent. Nan Yudia's heart became more and more nervous. Even Qi Zhuohao felt that something was wrong. It was impossible that the people in the room could not hear such movement!

"Step back!" Nan Yudia said and went forward to kick the door open. She saw everything in the room and there was not a single person in her and Qi Zhuohao's sight.

"No one lives here, but the candlelight is on. This..." Qi Zhuohao felt his scalp tingle. Could it be that this was a ghost village?

Nan Yudia subconsciously took out the dagger from her waist and said in a very serious tone, "Come, let's go to another house to take a look!"

As soon as she said that, Nan Yudia ran out of the house first. Qi Zhuohao quickly followed. After kicking open all the houses in the village, Nan Yudia and Qi Zhuohao did not see a single person. This was actually an uninhabited village.

However, since there was no one living here, who lit the candles in the village? What was the purpose of his actions?

Each and every one of these thoughts appeared in Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia's minds. The two of them were very puzzled. Could it be that there was really a ghost?

If it was in the past, Qi Zhuohao would never believe in the words of ghosts and gods. However, after personally experiencing the world, he firmly believed in the words of ghosts and gods. There were many profound and unfathomable things in the world. This place should be a ghost village.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhuohao's hair stood on end. The village was deathly silent, and fear spread through his heart.

As a warrior, Nan Yudia naturally believed in the existence of ghosts and gods. Just like the ghost cultivators in Hongwu Continent, they were in the form of ghosts!

Thinking of the ghost cultivators, Nan Yudia immediately felt relieved. At the same time, she became even more nervous in her heart. She did not dare to hesitate. Without saying a word, she pulled Qi Zhuohao and ran out of the village. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, Nan Yudia and Qi Zhuohao had just run about fifty to sixty meters away. Even the trees in the village were laughing. It moved without wind and made a rustling sound. It made people's hair stand on end!

Suddenly, a figure drifted over and stopped in front of Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia. Both of them subconsciously stopped in their tracks. Nan Yudia was still relatively calm, but Qi Zhuohao was so scared that he almost fainted.

This figure was actually transparent. His appearance was the same as a human's, but he had terrifying fangs in his mouth and long fingernails on his fingertips. They were like sharp blades and gave off a cold feeling.

"This is a ghost, no, a ghost cultivator!" After regaining his senses, Qi Zhuohao felt a wave of fear in his heart. A ghost cultivator was formed after a warrior died and cultivated a ghost cultivation technique. They were just like devils, ferocious and bloodthirsty.

"Jie Jie Jie! Since these two lowly humans had come here, why would they be in such a hurry to leave? This seat has not eaten for many days. Tsk tsk, such a pure soul, this seat's luck is really not bad!"

This spectral cultivator looked like an old man. His words caused Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia's facial expression to change drastically. By now, they had understood that the reason why this village was empty was because of this spectral cultivator.

Evil demons were actually warriors who cultivated evil cultivation techniques, the cultivation of evil cultivation techniques. Generally, it required the organs of children, the blood essence of young girls, and so on. As for ghost cultivators, they were actually considered warriors. It was just that the cultivation of ghost cultivators also required the consumption of human souls. This was the reason why ghost cultivators and demons were the public enemy of human warriors. They were both the embodiment of evil. It was extremely dangerous!

"Old thing, how can it be so easy for you to kill us!"

Although she was afraid, Nan Yudia had no choice. She had to fight with her life on the line. Only then would she and Qi Zhuohao have the chance to live. Qi Zhuohao was a mortal. Now that he had encountered a spectral cultivator, she could only rely on her.

However, Nan Yudia's heart was pounding. The old ghost cultivator did not reveal his realm. She wondered if she could deal with him.

"Jie Jie, what an arrogant girl. She is merely at the ninth layer of Meridian Accumulation. You actually dare to speak so arrogantly to me. I will slowly torture you first. When you're on the verge of death, I'll suck your soul again. Interesting, interesting! "

The spectral Cultivator laughed crazily without any restraint. His realm was suddenly revealed. At this moment, Nan Yudia's eyes were filled with fear. This ghost cultivator was actually an Essence Incarnating Stage warrior. In front of this old ghost cultivator, she was like an ant that could be crushed to death!

The classification of the realms of spectral cultivators was the same as that of warriors. This spectral cultivator in front of her... She was an expert of the same realm as Nan Yudia's grandma. There was a huge gap of three realms between her and this ghost cultivator. Nan Yudia had an impulse to cry. Today, she was doomed to die.

Nan Yudia felt helpless and helpless in her heart. She had just escaped from the Taihee Town, but now, she had fallen into the hands of an even more terrifying Essence Incarnating Stage spectral cultivator. Fortune comes in pairs, misfortune comes in pairs. This sentence was indeed the most logical thing in the world!

Nan Yudia was also secretly annoyed by Qi Zhuohao. She had long felt that this village was very strange, but Qi Zhuohao refused to listen. Now, it was good that he had fallen into the hands of an Essence Incarnating Stage ghost cultivator. There was no way for him to escape from death!

"Qi Zhuohao, run! I will hold him back!" Although she was annoyed by Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia was not very angry with him. Furthermore, she could not blame Qi Zhuohao for this. It was also a mistake that she did not stop Qi Zhuohao.

Nan Yudia knew that she would die for sure. Now, she could only fight with her life on the line to buy some time for Qi Zhuohao. As for whether Qi Zhuohao would be able to escape alive in the end? It all depended on Qi Zhuohao's luck.

When he heard Nan Yudia's words, Qi Zhuohao was extremely touched. He didn't want to die, but he couldn't leave Nan Yudia behind and escape alone. Besides, he was just a mortal, and he didn't have any profound energy in his heart. How could he escape?

Qi Zhuohao was very clear that this spectral cultivator was much more terrifying than the Black Wind Bear Grandma Meng killed!

"Miss Nan, I won't leave, and I can't escape either. Since I'm going to die, I'll accompany you!"

Not only did Qi Zhuohao not escape, he even took a step forward to protect Nan Yudia behind him. Nan Yudia sighed in her heart. When faced with difficulties, one could see true feelings. She really did not misjudge Qi Zhuohao. If Qi Zhuohao escaped, there was still a trace of hope. Why did he need to do this?

"Jiejie! I can't tell that a mere mortal like you would have such courage. However, kid, I won't pity you."

The old ghost cultivator laughed strangely. Then, he looked at Nan Yudia and said, "Girl, after I suck this mortal kid's soul, I will slowly torture you. I have said before that I won't let you die so easily!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old ghost cultivator suddenly opened his mouth. Suddenly, a transparent tongue extended out like a python and rushed towards Qi Zhuohao's head. Qi Zhuohao subconsciously closed his eyes.

However, just as the old ghost cultivator's tongue was about to touch Qi Zhuohao's head... The old ghost cultivator let out a miserable cry. There was no longer a trace of him on the ground. He... He disappeared into thin air.

Although his eyes were closed, Qi Zhuohao understood what had happened. It was the Fire Crystal Coffin that had devoured the old ghost cultivator!

The crisis of death had passed just like that. Qi Zhuohao opened his eyes in a daze. He knew that the Fire Crystal Coffin still had many uses, but he never thought that the Fire Crystal Coffin could actually devour ghost cultivators. Didn't this mean that the Fire Crystal Coffin was the bane of all spectral cultivators!

The feeling of surviving a disaster made Qi Zhuohao very happy. Nan Yudia looked at Qi Zhuohao with a blank face. She couldn't see the red light emitted by the Fire Crystal Coffin. In her eyes, the old ghost cultivator had disappeared into thin air.

However, Nan Yudia heard the scream of the old ghost cultivator before he disappeared. She guessed that the disappearance of the old ghost cultivator was not a coincidence. It must have something to do with Qi Zhuohao. That was an Essence Incarnating Stage ghost cultivator! How did Qi Zhuohao do it?

Nan Yudia was shocked and confused. She could not see through Qi Zhuohao anymore! Actually, she misunderstood Qi Zhuohao. How could Qi Zhuohao have the ability to kill the old ghost cultivator? This was all because of the Fire Crystal Coffin. It could be said that it had nothing to do with Qi Zhuohao!

There were too many questions in her heart, but Nan Yudia did not ask. It was already enough that he was still alive. Why should she care so much? This was Qi Zhuohao's secret. It was better to let it be buried in Qi Zhuohao's heart.

"Qi Zhuohao, that spectral cultivator should be dead. We are safe now. Let's find a room to rest."

After saying this, Nan Yudia turned around and walked into a room. The old ghost cultivator was dead, and they already knew about the situation in the small village. They no longer had any fear of this small village. They would stay here tonight...
