Li Mu looked at the young female cultivator in front of him and did not speak.
The two of them were strangers to each other, and she took the initiative to find him. It was definitely not for the purpose of striking up a conversation, but for some other purpose.
Sure enough, seeing Li Mu's gaze, the female cultivator took the initiative and said: "I just heard in the shop that fellow Taoist wanted a complete map of the ghost realm. I guessed that the fellow Taoist wanted to go deep into the ghost realm. It happened that we also went deep into the ghost realm.
The idea of hunting ghosts in the ghost realm is not as good as that we go together. There are dangers in the depths of the ghost realm. One more person will give us more power to protect ourselves."
Behind the woman, there were three cultivators standing, two men and one woman. The girl's cultivation looked like she had just gathered her strength, while the two men had already entered into supernatural powers.
The woman who was talking to Li Mu also had magical powers, which was the same as the cultivation level that Li Mu showed.
After all, the ghost realm is not a human territory. The complex environment makes the ghost realm more dangerous than the demon kingdom.
It's just that hunting little ghosts in the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts is okay. If you want to go deep into the ghost realm and hunt more powerful ghosts, the practitioners must go together. This small town is full of practitioners looking for partners.
The ghosts and resentful spirits in the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts can no longer meet the needs of practitioners above the God Gathering Realm. What they want to hunt are ghosts in the Soul Realm.
Li Mu looked at the woman and asked, "Do you have a complete map of the ghost realm?"
The woman nodded, and then said: "But with our strength, we can go deep into the ghost domain for at most five hundred miles. If we go deeper, we will be in danger. I don't know if you are willing to go with us. Who will kill the ghosts on the way and their soul power?"
Whoever belongs to it, if it was killed by a joint effort, we will distribute it according to the contribution."
Shangguan Li entered the Ghost Realm first. If Li Mu wanted to get the map, he had to go back to Shendu. Since these people had the map, Li Mu didn't want to bother.
At most, you can help them for a while and treat it as a reward for getting the map.
In the woman's expectant eyes, Li Mu nodded and said, "That's fine, but can you let me see the map of the ghost realm first?"
The woman readily handed a jade slip to Li Mu. Li Mu put it against his forehead for a moment, then returned it to her and said, "Thank you very much."
Later, the woman introduced several other people to Li Mu: "My name is Wu Qian, this is Taoist friend Zhang Man, Taoist friend Ding Liang, and this is Taoist friend Chen Yingying. I don't know what you call me?"
"Li Mu."
Although he has not yet revealed his true identity, there are many people with the same name in the world, so he is not worried that others will suspect him.
When the two male cultivators heard Li Mu's name, they didn't feel anything strange. However, the girl named Chen Yingying's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "It's the same name as my ancestor..."
Li Mu smiled slightly and asked casually: "Little girl, which sect are you from?"
The girl said: "I am from the Talisman Sect, what sect are you from?"
The girl reported herself to her sect, and Li Mu couldn't help but look at her twice. In addition to the ancestral court, the Fu Lu Sect also had many outer sects, and the Divine Fu Sect was one of them. In this way, he could barely be considered a Fu Lu Sect.
disciple.
Of course, Li Mu would not reveal his identity and said: "I have no sect and no sect, just a casual cultivator."
After introducing their identities to each other, Li Mu knew that among the four of them, except for Chen Yingying, who was barely an outer disciple of the Fu Lu Sect, the other three were casual cultivators, so they had to risk their lives to go to the ghost realm to obtain soul resources.
.
As for Chen Yingying, she went down the mountain to practice.
Having the cultivation level of gathering gods at the age of eighteen or nineteen can be regarded as a small talent. However, it is necessary for a young disciple like this to undergo some training after his breakthrough in cultivation level.
The five of them walked into the Hundred Ghost Bamboo Forest together. Wu Qian reminded: "Everyone should get together and don't get separated. It's not bad here. After going deep into the ghost realm, once we get separated, it will be difficult to meet again..."
After walking into the bamboo forest, a faint mist began to fill the surroundings. This mist contained a strange power. Even the spiritual thoughts could not probe too far. For practitioners, the spiritual thoughts were eyes. The spiritual thoughts were suppressed, and everyone
They all lost their sense of security and became very vigilant.
Occasionally, souls will fly out from the mist. These souls are full of violent energy and have no spiritual intelligence. They just instinctively desire human blood and yang energy. They are also the targets of the practitioners.
As for those soul cultivators with spiritual intelligence, those who enter the ghost realm cannot hide away. In such a place, the strength that soul cultivators can exert far exceeds their own strength. If they encounter soul cultivators, they will be prey.
His identity as a hunter often changes.
Li Mu didn't take much action all the way. The souls that rushed out of the mist and attacked them were all eliminated by the other four people. At first, everyone encountered only resentful and evil spirits. As they went deeper, they began to have more and more evil spirits.
The evil spirit of the fourth realm appears.
At this time, everyone will often work together to kill him and share the soul power equally.
At a certain moment, the fog in front of them fluctuated again. Except for Li Mu, the other people immediately cheered up. Soon, several figures walked out of the fog.
But this time, what emerged from the fog was not a ghost, but a human being.
There were also five people on the opposite side. When Wu Qian and others saw this, not only did they not relax, but their expressions became more nervous. At the same time, the faces of the people opposite also showed signs of vigilance, and some of them had even grasped their weapons.
The atmosphere between the two parties was very tense. After a while, the five people walked towards the fog on the left, and their figures quickly disappeared.
The four people around Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Qian looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is this your first time in the Ghost Realm, Fellow Daoist Li?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I have indeed never been here before."
"No wonder." Wu Qian shook her head and said: "If Fellow Daoist Li comes to the ghost realm again in the future, you must remember that the most dangerous thing here is not the ghosts without intelligence, nor the powerful ghost cultivators, but human cultivators like us.
, if you encounter one, hide if you can, but if you can’t hide, don’t take it lightly..."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "Thanks for the reminder."
Wu Qian saw that his expression was indifferent and she didn't seem to take it to heart. Instead, her face became more serious and continued: "Fellow Daoist Li may not know that a large part of the practitioners who died in the ghost realm did not die at the hands of ghosts, but died at the hands of ghosts."
In the hands of companions and other practitioners, there are no rules here. Things like killing people and seizing treasures after seeing the treasure happen every day..."
Li Mu could only be more solemn and said: "I understand."
Wu Qian looked at the three people beside her and said, "But you don't have to worry, Daoist Li, Daoyou Zhang, Daoyou Ding, and sister Yingying, we have cooperated many times. We originally had a companion, but he is in retreat these days.
You didn’t come together, so we invited you.”
After meeting other groups of practitioners nearby, they obviously became more united and marched forward for dozens of miles, killing several evil spirits and a fierce soul. When the four of them were happily dividing their soul power,
Li Mu suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced in a certain direction inadvertently.
There was only thick fog in that direction, nothing unusual.
More than ten breaths later, the expressions of Wu Qian and the other two male cultivators suddenly changed. They looked in the direction that Li Mu had just looked at. A shadow rushed out from the thick fog and rushed towards the few people.
Feeling the powerful aura fluctuations on the phantom's body, several people's expressions changed at the same time.
"not good!"
"It's a ghost from the fifth realm!"
"This is still on the outskirts, how can there be ghosts here?"
The few people encountered along the way were at most the evil spirits of the fourth realm. Ghosts are equivalent to the fifth realm of human practitioners. Although they have no spiritual intelligence and can only act based on instinct, they are not something that the fourth realm can compete with.
Wu Qian made a decisive decision and immediately said: "Everyone calm down, attack together, look after each other, and don't get separated!"
At this time, the importance of the team is reflected.
A person with magical powers will not be the opponent of a ghost in the fifth realm, but four magical powers and one concentrated spirit can compete with a ghost without spiritual intelligence. Of course, the most important thing is that Li Mu
Now, if it weren't for Li Mu's secret tactics, the sudden appearance of the ghost would have been a life and death battle for them.
They entered the ghost realm and had never encountered a ghost before. The four of them were already extremely nervous, but as they kept trying, they realized that the ghost didn't seem to be that powerful.
Its attack power is not high, but its defense is very weak. It roared after being hit by several people's spells.
"That's it?"
"The ghosts in the fifth realm are nothing more than this..."
"By absorbing his soul power, we will make a lot of money this time!"
…
Realizing that this ghost's strength was nothing more than this, after being suppressed by them from the beginning, the four of them were no longer as nervous as before. Instead, they became excited and expectant, and the light of spells and magic weapons intertwined even more intensely.
If this ghost soul can be harvested, each of them can receive a huge amount of soul power, which can be used for cultivation or exchanged for spiritual jade. The trip will be worthwhile.
Although the ghost had no intelligence, it was defeated by several "weak" beings and became manic. It roared, and the Yin Qi from several miles around was sucked into his mouth, and its size enlarged several times.
, the aura on his body immediately increased dramatically.
The ghost suddenly changed, and the smiles on the faces of several people faded. Under the powerful aura, their hearts were trembling with fear.
At this time, the ghost looked up to the sky and let out a roar, swooping down towards the four people.
Li Mu stood behind the four of them and glanced at the ghost lightly.
With just one glance, the body of the flying ghost trembled, and he suddenly ran away behind him as if desperate.
Li Mu threw out a talisman, and a bolt of thunder flashed through. The ghost was immediately seriously injured and fell to the ground, unable to float again.
Li Mu walked up to them, with a look of pity on his face, and said: "It's a pity that this high-level talisman was given by the elders. He still has the power to resist. Let's take action together."
Several people reacted and were about to take action to completely disperse the ghost's soul.
call out!
A ray of green light flew from the fog and passed through the ghost's body. The ghost's body collapsed, leaving only pure soul power, which was condensed into a soul group by several figures walking out of the fog.
The male cultivator named Zhang Man's face immediately darkened and he loudly said: "What do you want to do!"
Among the people, a young man glanced at him lightly and said, "We killed this soul. Why shouldn't we collect his soul power now?"
Chen Yingying took a step forward and said angrily: "Obviously it was us who injured it first, but it was you who stole our prey!"
The young man sneered and said: "It's a joke. The ghosts in the ghost realm have no masters. Whoever kills them belongs to them. Can you kill the ghosts with just a few of you?"
After he finished speaking, a chuckle came from behind Wu Qian.
"When did the Xuanzong disciples get so mixed up that they competed with casual cultivators for soul power? If word of this spreads, I'm afraid it will become a laughing stock in the cultivation world. What do you think, Qing Xuanzi?"
Among the several figures, the face of the young man who had been silent until now suddenly changed. He stared at the young man opposite and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Mu walked out from behind Wu Qian and said calmly: "I'm just a casual cultivator who can't stand what you are doing. It's strange. Xuanzong is the largest sect in the world and a well-known and upright family. How can he do such a thing of blocking the road and robbing?"
You, one of the top ten disciples of Xuanzong, are trying to steal the soul power of casual cultivators in the ghost realm. Do the elders of your sect know?"
