I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 620: You've all lost your mind, right?

Chapter 620: You've all lost your mind, right?

When Gu Heng arrived at Mingyuan Mountain, it was already dawn.

The wandering ghosts in the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls are not harmed by sunlight, but they seem to particularly hate sunlight, so they all found places where they were not exposed to sunlight long ago and all shrank back.

Seeing this, he also extinguished the Primordial Soul Lamp and put it away.

"Are those cultivators here?"

Gu Heng stood not far from Mingyuan Mountain, looking around, but saw no trace of human activity. He could only continue searching deeper into the mountains.

After entering the mountains, they wandered around for about an hour or two. By then, the sun was high in the sky, and they could no longer see any ghosts. Gu Heng continued walking and finally saw the "traces of human activity" he was looking for.

...or rather.

dead.

This was a campfire that had been extinguished, and there seemed to be five or six corpses nearby. Gu Heng couldn't quite tell them apart because there were only bones left, no flesh or blood. They looked as if they had been gnawed clean and even divided up, leaving a mess on the ground.

"Oh dear, that's terrible."

Gu Heng shook his head.

Although he was a seasoned veteran who had weathered many storms, he still felt uncomfortable seeing these pitiful creatures being devoured until they were nothing but blood and flesh.

It seems that those wandering ghosts are not without threat. He has the Primordial Soul Lamp, so there is no difference between day and night, and he is safe. But others cannot enjoy this kind of good fortune.

The system's existence ultimately brought him benefits. Continuing forward, when he reached the mountainside, Gu Heng heard voices talking, but it seemed the other person had also heard his footsteps, and thus questioned, "Who's out there?!"

Gu Heng stopped in his tracks.

He was all too familiar with that voice.

“Miss Fei’er, I am Gu Heng.”

The other party was silent for a moment, and then he saw two figures run out of the entrance of a cave. As expected, it was Bai Feier, while the other person, Gu Heng, was a little surprised.

It was that fellow Daoist Li Feiyue.

But this is not surprising. Although Li Feiyue said that she was a "lone cultivator", everyone in this kind of place hopes to find a companion.

Gu Heng just wanted to get Bai Feier away from this place of trouble as soon as possible. Everything was a deception, a conspiracy. Staying here would only make them food for that Death Soul Witch King who had the strength of an Immortal Venerable!

He couldn't control what others did, but he had to help Bai Feier.

He was prepared; if he could meet Li Feiyue, all he could do was mourn for his fellow Daoist's misfortune for a minute.

"Young Master Gu! You're actually here!"

Bai Feier looked slightly tired and not particularly energetic, but she was overjoyed to see him as if he were her savior.

"Miss Fei'er, where are the others?"

"They... all went off to fight their own battles."

Bai Feier looked somewhat dejected: "After arriving here, I felt something was wrong. The place is filled with the aura of evil spirits, and there are even malevolent ghosts roaming around at night. There are even vengeful ghosts with the cultivation level of immortals wandering around. It is an extremely dangerous place!"

"After I arrived here, I originally planned to have the disciples of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect continue to stick together, and also to bring others along, so that it would be easier to deal with weaker vengeful ghosts. But these days, as we kill more and more evil ghosts, their soul power has also begun to grow stronger..."

"Therefore, everyone began to oppose my idea of ​​avoiding war, stopped obeying my orders, and left on their own."

At this point, a bitter expression appeared on Bai Feier's face.

No way.

Although the nights were indeed terrifying when she first arrived in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, she had actually lost more than a dozen disciples at the beginning. Sticking together was a last resort, after all, there were still many dangers in this filthy place.

but.

After killing those evil spirits wandering the wasteland.

Everyone could sense that their strength was increasing at a visible rate!

Moreover, he seems to have become stronger a little too quickly!

Not only has his soul become stronger, but it seems that his cultivation level is also increasing by leaps and bounds!

Of course.

Everyone just saw this as a "trial," a new round of trials.

Danger is certainly present, just like the Holy Dragon Cave. But should we give up taking the initiative and watch others' strength advance by leaps and bounds simply because of danger?

That can't be done.

Seeing others progress faster than you is worse than death.

Therefore, hunting ghosts became something everyone longed to do.

Bai Feier was naturally extremely vigilant, because the "Immortal Palace" sword in her hand was reminding her that there was a rather dangerous aura lurking in this area, and she could not stay for long and had to leave as soon as possible. Therefore, she did not lose her composure despite her sudden increase in strength.

But others don't think that way. The only reason people are willing to listen to her is because when they first arrived, they were a bit lost and confused, and it would be good to have someone to guide them.

Therefore, once they figured out what kind of "opportunity" this place could bring them, they were very unhappy with Bai Feier, who was wary of fighting.

Once the first person leaves, a second will follow.

Bai Feier couldn't stop them either.

Preventing others from becoming stronger is no less than killing one's parents.

"...Your disciples have also left?"

Gu Heng discovered that Bai Feier used to have quite a few disciples who obeyed her without question. It was one thing for those she didn't know to ignore her, but even those disciples ignored her and ran away?

really do.

This place is so dangerous, and even though someone is willing to protect you, you refuse to go and experience it for yourself.

All Gu Heng could say was that he should respect other people's fate.
