Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Chapter 195 Surface Cracks

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Chu Yu stopped hesitating and turned back into the house. He wanted to open the window for some fresh air, but found that the window had been nailed shut.

Many things in the house were covered in dust, but Chu Yu could understand the current situation in Pingyuan County. After all, she was not here to stay.

The door of the room was not locked. Boss Yang just pasted talisman paper and scattered salt and glutinous rice on the floor. He probably estimated that Chu Yu would not dare to go out at night, or he did not intend to lock Chu Yu up.

The light, which was already cold, was getting dimmer and dimmer. There was no sun in this place, so it was even darker and nothing could be seen.

The whole city became quieter.

After noticing that Boss Yang had left, Chu Yu pushed the door open and walked out.

She avoided the salt and glutinous rice on the ground and landed quietly on the first floor.

If Boss Yang saw Chu Yu's light figure, he would probably be frightened to death.

The inn was extremely quiet. Chu Yu listened attentively, but there was no movement from the direction where the owner lived in the main courtyard.

She has no intention of alerting the enemy for the time being. Liu Yunhuan might be in Pingyuan County, and so might the ghost cultivator who could take her away from Li Heng quietly. They might also be here.

For some reason, the ghost cultivator has not shown up. Chu Yu recalled the trace of blood he brought back when he was tracking his power. He could only pray silently in his heart that he was really injured.

So she now restrained her breath, just like an ordinary person, except that her movements were more agile.

"Ghost cultivators use their souls to strengthen their souls, and devour other ghosts to increase their cultivation."

"But the three souls and seven spirits of the living are firmly fixed in their bodies. To devour the spirits of the living, scaring them to the point of making their spirits unstable is the best way."

"The first three realms are not the same as what we call them. We call them Gathering Spirit, Gathering Qi, and Gathering Pills. Ghost cultivators call them Gathering Souls, Gathering Souls, and Gathering Forms. The realms after that are similar to those of human cultivators, except that some words have to be changed. For example, Spiritualist, Spiritual Master, and Spiritual King correspond to Ghost Warrior, Ghost Master, and Ghost King respectively."

"So, whatever horrible thing is haunting that girl, it's not good news."

Shenhun told Chu Yu everything he knew about ghost cultivation, which provided great help to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was walking alone on the street. After thinking for a while, she decided to climb onto the roof. She moved quietly on the roofs of the people in Pingyuan County and could not be noticed at all if no one was paying attention.

No one wanted to come to the street, which meant that bad things would happen here at any time of day or night. When Qingqing and Xiaolin left, Chu Yu noticed that they tried their best not to make any noise, so they must have some concerns.

As he was thinking, Chu Yu soon arrived at the outskirts of the city.

The towering city walls protruded straight into the dark night sky, and Chu Yu felt a yin energy sinking.

Pingyuan County has been like this for several months. It's amazing that the people here have been able to survive here for so long. The evil energy can easily corrode the minds of the living and make people crazy. Even if they are not harmed by ghosts, they cannot withstand the influence of this evil energy.

Could it be that there are other monks here who provide protection to the people of Pingyuan County?

The next second, Chu Yu rejected this idea. If there really were powerful cultivators around, Pingyuan County would not be like this.

When Chu Yu arrived at the outskirts of the city, he just remembered the strange force chasing him during the day.

As he was recalling, Chu Yu heard a loud sound of the ground cracking outside the city.

The force seemed to sense that he was here, and it broke through from the city gate.

But it seemed as if it was hesitating about something, and the crack did not spread to the city.

In a flash, Chu Yu, standing on the side of the eaves, saw a tiny crack appear on the bluestone floor.

This frightened Chu Yu so much that he quickly moved away from the city wall and walked for a long distance. He listened carefully and found that the strange force did not follow him.

"Huh, it's okay. We can't demolish the people's houses." Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu was certain that the force was chasing him. He had originally been hoping for the best, thinking it was an earthquake or something, but he didn't expect that there was really something coming towards him.

But strangely, she couldn't feel where the force that caused the floor to crack came from.

Seeing that the force did not follow into the city, Chu Yu returned to the Yang Family Inn swiftly.

Unexpectedly, after I had been away for only a short while, I heard some noise coming from the main courtyard.

Although the people over there spoke in low voices, each one was more urgent than the other.

Boss Yang scolded, "Didn't I tell you to go back?"

Chu Yu was a little surprised that the next person to speak was Xiao Lin: "Uncle Yang, if I hadn't given that comb to Qingqing, she wouldn't have become like this!"

"What's the use of saying this!" Hearing this, Boss Yang became even angrier.

"Please stop talking..." This weak voice came from Qingqing. She wanted to stop the two from continuing to talk about the comb, but no one paid attention to her.

There was also a faint sobbing sound of a woman, probably Qingqing's mother.

"I want to get the comb back so that that thing won't bother Qingqing anymore." Xiao Lin's firm voice was then heard. Through the shadow of the window, I could see that Xiao Lin suddenly untied her hair, picked up something from the table, and was about to put it on her head.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

The people around him had no time to stop him, and Kobayashi just picked up the comb and started combing his hair.

"Xiao Lin!" Qing Qing couldn't help but open her mouth to stop him. In just a moment, she seemed to have seen something extremely horrifying. The girl who had endured for so many days couldn't bear it anymore and immediately started screaming.

"what!!!!"

Qingqing picked up a pillow and hit one direction like crazy. Her mother hugged her with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't stop her extremely panicked daughter.

Boss Yang quickly went over to hold his daughter down. Xiao Lin helplessly combed her hair with the comb, muttering helplessly, "Why is it useless? Why is it useless? Why..."

The Yang's Inn was in chaos, but the streets outside were very quiet. It seemed that other people had long been accustomed to the screams coming from some household at night. They had no ability or dare to do anything about it.

There was chaos in the room, and suddenly, the door of their room was pushed open by a strong force.

"Oh!"

The double doors opened, revealing a white figure standing in the center.

Everyone was startled by the noise. Xiao Lin, who had been combing his hair, was also frightened at this moment, and his hand holding the comb hung in the air in a daze.

Qingqing gradually calmed down at this moment, as if the intrusion of Chu Yu, the uninvited guest, disrupted the ghost cultivator's plan.

In other words, the ghost was also confused and had no time to scare people.
