Chapter 933: Chapter 895 Ghost Town (Please Subscribe)_1
After several hours, Xu Sheng and the people of Gui Xuan Sect finally succeeded in crossing the Luo Shen Basin, only to find the scenery before them vastly different from before...
The concentration of spiritual energy alone was far denser than on the other side, even though he didn't need to absorb spirit force for cultivation...
"We've finally returned. This time, the battle against the Jiao Dragon cost us dozens of disciples, a significant loss for our Gui Xuan Sect indeed!"
"Indeed, and that was with that man's help; otherwise, I'm afraid we would have all ended up as food in the Jiao Dragon's belly."
"Tsk, he was just lucky, surviving after being swallowed by the Jiao Dragon. How did it become solely his achievement in your words?"
"Exactly, if not for us restraining and attacking from the outside, how could it have gone so smoothly!"
Although Xu Sheng indeed provided great help in slaying the Jiao Dragon, their capabilities should not be overlooked!
The Elder and several other elders all turned their gazes toward Xu Sheng...
The former, though grimacing, finally asked, "Young friend, are you truly determined not to come with us to Gui Xuan Sect? With your strength, you could at least be granted the position of an elder!"
Xu Sheng shook his head without hesitation and declined, "No need, thank you Grand Elder for your kindness."
Getting this answer, the Elder showed no surprise, but he sighed with regret...
The other elders exchanged glances and spoke in turn, "Young friend, I have high hopes for you! With your talent, you'll surely rise swiftly once you reach Central State."
"That's right, the doors of our Gui Xuan Sect will always be open for you! Should you choose to come, you'll at least be guaranteed the position of an elder!"
"Since you insist on heading to Central State, then let us part ways here!"
After taking a glance at them, Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Hmm!"
Immediately after, the people of Gui Xuan Sect chose to leave, and within just a few seconds, they disappeared from Xu Sheng's line of sight...
With no alternative, he scanned the immediate vicinity for notable landmarks, only to open the map delineating Central State's detailed layout once again...
Although he had traversed the Luo Shen Basin, he was still at least halfway from Central State, a distance not quickly coverable...
Moreover, the sky had already started to darken, clearly a sign to find a place to rest...
Consequently, he flew toward the direction indicated on the map at the highest possible speed on his sword...
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a massive town finally came into his view...
The number of people here wasn't considerable, but definitely not small either...
A cursory sensing with spirit force revealed that anyone around him had reached the Scattered Immortal Realm, common as cabbages at a glance!
Even before reaching Central State, the distribution of strength here was already absurd, almost unimaginable how terrifying Central State's might must be!
However, it seemed they were starting to leave in twos and threes as dusk was about to fall...
Just as Xu Sheng was about to step forward, an old voice stopped him...
"Wait! Young friend, did you come from elsewhere?"
Xu Sheng turned his head to look, only to see an elderly man with white hair, to whom he replied indifferently, "That's right, is there a problem with that?"
Could this town be like the time he encountered Shangguan Lin, harboring a demon cultivator or something?
After hearing the reply, the elder's cloudy eyes fixed on Xu Sheng's face for a few seconds before he said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be looking for a temporary place to stay!"
Xu Sheng's brows slightly furrowed, intending to sense the elder's cultivation level with his spirit force, but the Elder's presence was like a black hole, elusive and unfathomable...
The more it was so, the less simple he appeared...
The level of caution in his heart instantly surged...
"It is so, but what does that have to do with you?"
The elder's eyes deeply looked at him and said, "If that's the case, follow me..."
At that moment, the townspeople around them also got a clear look at the aged man, their complexions turning a sickly pale as they exclaimed, "Look, it's that guy, is he going to strike at someone again?"
"I've heard that no one he takes has ever come back alive!"
"The lad over there, you better leave quickly, don't believe that guy's words! He will kill you!"
Xu Sheng, hearing this, glanced at them with scrutiny and then swept his gaze across the elder who had already taken a few steps away!
After weighing his options multiple times, he still chose to follow...
Subsequently, the elder led Xu Sheng into a dilapidated thatched hut...
Quickly lighting a candle afterward, the faint glow illuminated the room...
After seating himself, he said in an indifferent tone, "Sit down..."
Hearing the words, Xu Sheng composedly took a seat...
Immediately, he looked towards the other person and took the initiative to ask, "Senior, those people who were speaking just now..."
He couldn't help but fear that the earlier situation wasn't baseless...
The elder's turbid eyes flickered a few times as he indifferently said, "Those people? Are you sure?"
Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Senior, what do you mean?"
The words spoken by this man were somewhat elusive to comprehend...
Those people?
He had already clearly felt the spirit force fluctuation from every one of those people!
The elder did not answer but continued indifferently, "I'm asking, are you certain those were people?"
With these words, the atmosphere in the room dropped to zero in an instant...
Xu Sheng peered at the elder's serious face, which was void of any joking, and said solemnly, "Could it be… they aren't human?"
The elder did not speak, acknowledging Xu Sheng's response by his silence...
The candle, which was emitting a faint light, began to flicker continuously as if sensing something was about to happen...
After a while, the elder spoke up again, "The people you saw, they're all dead!"
Xu Sheng's heart startled, but he did not interrupt, waiting for him to continue...
The elder took a deep breath, his voice now chillingly sinister, "This place is indeed what it's called, Ghost Town! It gathers the souls of those who have been refined into revenants. I suppose the time is almost upon us!"
After hearing these words, Xu Sheng's eyes subconsciously shot towards the sky, only to see the night had set in, erasing the last trace of light...
Suddenly, a drastic transformation occurred!!
Every building within the small town that his eyes could clearly make out began to disappear slowly...
And then, turned into nothingness...
But that wasn't all; the revenants, who were no different from living people, began to grimace savagely, their bloodthirsty, murderous eyes turned a crimson red. Even their limbs started to transform...
A few minutes later, eerily terrifying screams filled the entire space, sending chills to the core...
"Heeheehee!"
