Chapter 19

Many people frowned, especially Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong, who looked at Chai Ren with displeasure. They had just managed to calm Bu Ye, but Chai Ren had deliberately provoked him.

However, Chai Ren met Hong and Liang's gazes without fear, as if to show his noble character and unwavering principles.

Just as Chai Ren was secretly pleased with himself, Bu Ye sneered and then looked at Chai Ren, saying, "Even if I haggle, at least it's a fair deal. But what about you? You can't fight, but you run faster than anyone. Now that the situation has stabilized somewhat, you stir things up to draw attention, causing internal unrest. You, who have no ability, can't stand to see others with ability. When others put in effort, you only cause trouble and drag them down. Isn't that exactly what you are?"

Although no one understood what Bu Ye meant by "drawing attention," they all felt a sense of satisfaction! Bu Ye's words were like a slap in the face to Chai Ren, and Chai Ren couldn't even dodge because that's exactly what he did.

Chai Ren's face stiffened, and his mood plummeted from the heights to the depths, as if his image had suddenly changed from noble to despicable...

In just a moment, Chai Ren was so angry that he started to tremble, on the verge of losing control and starting to curse.

However, at this moment, Bu Ye looked directly into Chai Ren's eyes and said casually, "Think about Yang Zhaocai before you speak."

Instantly, Chai Ren stopped trembling, and his whole body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Isn't Yang Zhaocai the best example of someone who provoked Bu Ye?!

Seeing Chai Ren's reaction, Hong Zhongwei, Liang Xiong, and others were overjoyed, almost bursting into laughter.

This Bu Ye, though he had become unfamiliar, still had his charming side.

"Ah!!!"

Without warning, a scream from a distance startled the entire camp.

Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong almost simultaneously stood up and rushed out. They had repeatedly instructed everyone not to make loud noises, so that scream indicated that something was definitely wrong!

At this moment, Bu Ye also stood up and immediately followed Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong toward the source of the sound.

"What's going on? Be quiet!" Due to his injury, Hong Zhongwei was the first to reach the scene and immediately lowered his voice to a roar.

"Ghost!!"

"Ghost!!"

The villagers in front kept shouting and retreating.

Liang Xiong's heart skipped a beat, but he still pushed through the crowd to the front.

The dark red moonlight illuminated the hillside, but it wasn't very bright. From his position, Liang Xiong could only see large patches of darkness below.

However, about a hundred meters away, in the dark forest, a faint white mist was floating irregularly! The white mist would sometimes be exposed to the moonlight, and other times it would drift into the darkness or be blocked by the trees. Most importantly, the white mist seemed to be in the shape of a person!

A ghost?!

At this moment, Hong Zhongwei and Bu Ye also ran over and immediately saw the white mist in the distance.

Their eyesight was much better than that of the villager who had seen the mist up close while urinating. It was clearly a ghost in the shape of a person!

However, it was too dark at night, and they couldn't see the ghost's face clearly.

In this world, ghosts were not just mythical creatures but real, though rare. Many people had never seen one in their entire lives.

The villagers, who were in the midst of fleeing, were understandably terrified when they saw a ghost floating near their camp. Some children were already crying in fear. Luo Xiu was nearby, but her son, Xiaomao, was quite brave, hiding behind her leg and peeking out with half his head.

Luo Xiu reached back to hold Xiaomao's head while looking at Bu Ye's back. Since Bu Ye ran over, her gaze had never left him.

No one knew how much she regretted it. After her husband's death, her greatest wish was to find someone to rely on for her and her son. Now, Bu Ye was one of the three heart cloud awakened in the village, and they had a history together. His character was also good. Who could be more reliable than Bu Ye? But during the two most difficult nights for Bu Ye, she had chosen to remain silent.

"Don't worry, ghosts fear strangers. With so many of us together, he definitely won't dare to come over," Hong Zhongwei suddenly said.

At this moment, Liang Xiong also said, "Don't worry, he will leave when it gets light. I'll stay here to watch over everyone tonight."

With these two powerful figures speaking, everyone felt a bit more at ease.

No one questioned why Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong didn't go to check it out themselves, because catching and exorcising ghosts was not something ordinary heart cloud awakened could do. At least dual cloud awakening was required. Dual cloud, meaning heart cloud and abdominal cloud, but in the entire Xiao Kingdom, there were probably only a handful of dual cloud awakened, far beyond the reach of these mountain villagers. Even Hong Zhongwei and Liang Xiong felt that the only option was to wait until dawn.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. Bu Ye suddenly said, "I'll go check it out."

Then, without consulting Hong and Liang, Bu Ye directly went down the hill toward the ghost.

"Bu Ye!" Hong Zhongwei didn't want Bu Ye to get into trouble. He was severely injured and still needed Bu Ye's help, so he quickly spoke up.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Bu Ye said without turning back, his steps not slowing down at all.

Hong Zhongwei frowned, and Liang Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with him."

"Alright," Hong Zhongwei had to agree.

Luo Xiu actually wanted to call out to Bu Ye, but she felt she had no right to speak. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out.

"Mom, is Uncle Bu going to catch the ghost?" Xiaomao asked excitedly.

Luo Xiu: "..."

The night in the mountains was very dark, and it was impossible to see anything beyond ten meters. Bu Ye's steps were very fast, and his figure quickly became blurry in the crowd's sight.

Heart cloud awakened had much better vision than ordinary people. At this moment, Bu Ye could see about thirty meters without activating his heart cloud blood stars, so walking was not a problem.

Soon, he was only fifty meters away from the ghost, and Bu Ye had to focus, even activating his heart cloud blood stars!

The heart cloud was already quite dark, and under the moonlight, it wasn't very noticeable, but the seven blood stars were quite bright, emitting a true star-like blue light in Bu Ye's body!

This scene, seen by the people on the hill, was like a small, mysterious constellation suddenly appearing in the dark forest, with the constellation perfectly outlining Bu Ye's silhouette.

But before the people on the hill could be happy, the ghost in the distance suddenly became agitated! It moved faster, growing and shrinking, clearly sensing Bu Ye's approach!

Even some people with weaker mental resistance could faintly hear the ghost's fierce howls and cries in their heads!

Even Hong Zhongwei was worried, and Liang Xiong, who was chasing after Bu Ye, subconsciously slowed down.

But no one knew that although Bu Ye was also nervous, he was even more excited!

The heart cloud blood stars, the twelve major stars, could be activated by everyone, but the six specialized minor stars were extremely difficult to activate. Now, the opportunity was right in front of him, how could Bu Ye let it go!

He wanted to provoke the ghost to attack him, then use the cancer cells to absorb all the ghost's power and activate the small star on his right forearm!

Bu Ye's steps quickened, forty meters, thirty meters!

At this moment, the ghost suddenly stopped, its form changing and expanding, growing sharp claws and fangs, and suddenly roaring at Bu Ye, ready to pounce! But Bu Ye hadn't even had time to provoke the ghost.

Seeing a ghost in the dark forest at night, with it baring its fangs and claws and seemingly ready to pounce, and hearing terrifying ghost cries, anyone would be afraid, and Bu Ye was also very cautious. But this caution was quickly replaced by surprise.

"Yang Zhaocai?!!!"

Bu Ye finally saw a familiar face on the ghost's already distorted face, recognizing that the ghost was Yang Zhaocai!

He would have been better off not shouting, as this shout directly awakened Yang Zhaocai's ghost's memory. The ghost let out a venomous, fierce howl, and with a cold wind, Yang Zhaocai's ghost directly pounced on Bu Ye!

"Give me back my life!!!"

At that moment, Bu Ye heard Yang Zhaocai's shrill cry amidst the ghost's howls.

At the same time, a chill rose in Bu Ye's body, and he felt the threat of death again.

But!

The moment the ghost pounced on Bu Ye's body, the cancer cells in Bu Ye's body suddenly sprang to action!

This time, Bu Ye saw clearly that it wasn't the cancer cells themselves moving, but they released a gray energy that seemed like a soul, actively meeting the ghost that had entered his body!

The white ghost, upon encountering the cancer cells' gray energy, melted like snow in boiling water.

Bu Ye's brain again heard Yang Zhaocai's terrified howl. This old man, who was already dead, never expected it to be a trap!

"Ahh..."

Yang Zhaocai's ghost struggled to retreat, and the part that hadn't yet entered Bu Ye's body also tried to pull out.

But something even more astonishing happened. The gray energy released by the cancer cells suddenly grabbed the white ghost and started to pull it in forcefully! The strength was completely disproportionate. If the cancer cells' gray energy was a strongman, then the white ghost's energy was just a toddler in kindergarten!

With a "whoosh," in the blink of an eye, the gray energy released by the cancer cells pulled the remaining part of Yang Zhaocai's ghost into Bu Ye's body!

The feeling was as if the cancer cells, which had not known the taste of the ghost the first time, now knew it and liked it!

Bu Ye was initially stunned, and by the time he reacted, Yang Zhaocai's ghost had completely disappeared, and a faint black mist appeared on the surface of his cancer cells again.

Success!

However, the amount of black mist seemed to be less than the last time with Yang Yuanda.

At this moment, the people on the hill were already scared stiff, including Liang Xiong.

They all saw the ghost pounce on Bu Ye, and then Bu Ye didn't move at all.
