Chapter 52

Xiaoming arranged Er Dan and Rabbit Knife in a secluded place, and then he came to the edge of the valley alone.

"The valley walls are so steep!"

However, such a slight slope was no challenge for Xiaoming. Xiaoming used the secret technique "Gentle Breeze" and drifted down the valley like a leaf. Of course, Xiaoming couldn't fly, but "Gentle Breeze" could make his soul as light as a breeze, allowing him to easily float up and down as long as he had something to support him. In simpler terms, it was like walking on flat ground even when climbing a slope.

After drifting down for several hundred meters, Xiaoming finally reached the bottom of the valley.

The fog at the bottom of the valley was much denser, and one couldn't see anything beyond ten meters.

"What thick fog!" This was the first time Xiaoming had seen fog in the Ghost Realm. He had previously thought that the Ghost Realm wouldn't have fog; at least, Sin City never had fog.

Exploring deeper into the fog, Xiaoming soon discovered that this valley seemed incredibly barren.

As he walked, he didn't see a single tree soul; not to mention tree souls, he couldn't even find a single grass ghost. This place was a completely lifeless wasteland.

Because there were no plant ghosts, the valley was eerily quiet.

"Can't see anything, where am I supposed to find a malevolent ghost?" Without plant ghosts, Xiaoming couldn't even ask for directions.

Moreover, his visibility was only a few dozen meters, and he had no idea how large this fog-covered valley was. In this place, Xiaoming was completely in the dark and had no idea which direction to go next.

Just as Xiaoming was at a loss, he suddenly heard a series of light footsteps.

"Is this...?" The footsteps weren't loud, and if they were outside the valley, Xiaoming might not have heard them. However, the valley was so quiet that the sudden sound of footsteps immediately caught Xiaoming's attention.

Then, Xiaoming saw a human ghost shadow "whoosh" past him. It seemed that the ghost didn't even notice Xiaoming as it passed by.

"Hmm... Is this ghost blind?" The ghost wasn't blind; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to run so fast. It was just that the ghost's "vision" wasn't as good as Xiaoming's, and it could only see a few meters ahead, not the Xiaoming who was over ten meters away.

Xiaoming was slightly stunned and then used "Gentle Breeze" to silently follow the ghost. It had to be said that "Gentle Breeze" was really a very useful secret technique, good for hunting, escaping, tracking, ambushing, climbing mountains, and diving into water. No wonder the Heavenly Withered Pavilion considered it a non-transmissible secret art.

"Was just worried about not having a guide, and I ran into such a stupid ghost!" Xiaoming followed the ghost at a leisurely pace.

As he got closer, Xiaoming noticed that the stupid ghost was faintly surrounded by a blood glow, not very strong but quite noticeable.

"It's a malevolent ghost!" Just entering the valley and encountering a malevolent ghost made Xiaoming even more certain that this place was a gathering place for malevolent ghosts.

Watching the stupid ghost run ahead, Xiaoming really wanted to kill it with one shot to see how much merit reward he would get—Xiaoming had never killed a malevolent ghost before! The black-robed malevolent ghost he encountered last time was killed by the ghost ant army, not by Xiaoming himself.

However, with the fog in the valley, Xiaoming knew that if he really itched to kill this malevolent ghost, he would lose his guide.

"Just hold on, just hold on!" Xiaoming thought, "Once we reach the destination, I'll finish it off with one shot!"

The poor little malevolent ghost had no idea that it was about to become a "merit package."

The valley was very large, and Xiaoming followed the little malevolent ghost for several miles, but the scene remained the same dense fog.

"I wonder how many malevolent ghosts are gathered in this nest?" According to Xiaoming's understanding, there were actually many malevolent ghosts outside Sin City.

It's important to know that malevolent ghosts don't just appear among human souls; they can also appear among other races. Even if each race only had a few malevolent ghosts, with thousands of races, there would be thousands of malevolent ghosts. Of course, each race wouldn't have just one or two malevolent ghosts, so the total number of malevolent ghosts across all races would be very large.

Thinking about the countless malevolent ghosts that might be hiding in the valley, Xiaoming became even more vigilant.

He couldn't afford not to be vigilant!

It's important to know that, at the same soul strength, malevolent ghosts are undoubtedly much stronger than ordinary ghost cultivators. Although Xiaoming was confident in his own strength, he was also very clear that this malevolent ghost nest was full of dangers.

Suddenly, Xiaoming felt a chill—knowing how dangerous this place was, was he really courting death by going in?

Knowing there's a tiger on the mountain, yet heading straight for the tiger mountain?—No, that's definitely the act of a fool! Knowing there's a tiger on the mountain, you still run up to die, what else could you be but a fool?

And at this moment, Xiaoming suddenly realized—he was doing exactly what a fool would do!

"Little Jin, Little Jin!" Xiaoming called out to the ghost talisman in his chest.

Xiaoming was still very clear-headed. Although the five-ghost talisman wasn't a "good person," it had saved him once and taught him the ultimate technique "Casting God Formula" that could lead him to the ghost immortal realm. In summary, the five-ghost talisman was definitely more beneficial than harmful to him!

"What is it?" Little Jin said lazily, "Don't bother me if it's nothing, I'm busy cultivating!"

"Uh..." Xiaoming was taken aback, "Aren't you just a talisman spirit, why do you need to cultivate?"

"Ridiculous!" Little Jin sneered, "I'm a talisman spirit with ideals and aspirations! Moreover, the higher my cultivation, the more I can help you!"

"Oh?" Xiaoming's eyes lit up, "What kind of help?"

"That's none of your business! The help you should get at the Spirit Gathering stage, I've already given you; before you reach the Soul Condensation stage, don't expect me to help you anymore—no matter how high my cultivation is, I won't bother with you!" Little Jin had a completely superior attitude, "So, what do you want?"

"Um..." Xiaoming stammered, "If I encounter danger, will you save me like last time?" Xiaoming strongly felt that if he continued deeper into the valley, he might encounter an irresistible danger.

"Is that it?" Little Jin rolled his eyes, "Of course not! Even if you die, I won't care about you!"

"Uh..." Xiaoming was speechless, "I'm at least your host, and you're at least living in me, won't you help a little?"

Little Jin said softly, "Actually... I'm not very satisfied with you as a host!"

"..." Xiaoming fell silent.

After a moment of thought, Xiaoming realized he couldn't follow any further!

Who knew what kind of danger he might encounter if he continued. If he ran into a malevolent ghost at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage, he might not even have a chance to escape!

Go!

Xiaoming was very decisive!

Better safe than sorry! If he died in the Human Realm, he could still live another life in the Ghost Realm; but if he died in the Ghost Realm and his soul was scattered, he would be gone forever.

However, before leaving, Xiaoming was unwilling to let the little malevolent ghost go. He wanted to try and see what kind of reward he would get for killing a malevolent ghost.

"Hehe, little malevolent ghost, blame your bad luck!"

Xiaoming activated "Soul Devourer," and his long spear shot out like a venomous dragon, piercing the little malevolent ghost's back.
