Chapter 286: Chapter 185: Human, God, and Ghost Appear Together

The abandoned courtyard had moss growing on the stone steps, and the walls were covered in ivy. It was very quiet here, isolated from the clamor and chaos of the town.

Wu Yaizu’s eyes were bloodshot, and tears glistened in his beard, filled with reluctance.

"Crying for what? Once you’re outside and have a wife, you’ll forget about Grandma." The old lady said with a smile.

She hung a jade plate carved with a deity around Xiao Wu’s neck, warning him not to take it off on the way.

Then she looked at Qin Ming and reminded him, "That piece of cloth on you, I couldn’t discern its origin, but it should be extraordinary. Carry it as you travel."

Qin Ming immediately understood that there might be some ’demonic trouble’ ahead, and he needed to carry an ’evil-suppressing’ item.

"Grandma, you need to help me collect debts later. Those old guys broke their promises, all claiming they didn’t carry their stakes and would give them next time." Wu Yaizu complained.

"Alright, I’ll handle it." The old lady nodded.

In the strange little town, various transactions took place, the most frequent being information trade, followed by the sale of soul medicine and Cultivation Technique exchanges.

Suddenly, Purple Mist rose from the Temple, accompanied by thundering roars. This kind of Heavenly Power was quite terrifying, even changing the expressions of some old folks.

"What’s going on, why does it feel like it’s coming for us?"

"Oh no, my soul is about to be pierced through!"

...

In the chaos, the Four Tusked White Elephant was lying on the ground, unable to stand, and the golden-haired elder on its back was struck by the purple Divine Mace, charred all over, his body trembling.

A calamity from nowhere!

They felt wronged to the death, having never provoked the Temple, nor entered it, so why were they attacked?

"Crack, boom, crackle!"

Above the town, Purple Qi swept across the sky, thunderbolts falling one after another. A Divine Mace pierced through the sky, occasionally diving down.

The stronger someone was, the more they would be targeted, and a group of people screamed in pain, fleeing in embarrassment.

It must be said that there were indeed formidable individuals here, possibly an old senior, withstanding several strikes from the purple Divine Mace, and still able to get up quickly in the end.

"Alright, that’s enough." A black-robed person in the Temple reminded.

In the morning, the body would collapse, in the evening, the soul would leave. Qin Ming and Wu Yaizu started their journey at noon, personally escorted by the old lady, already on the way.

Along the way, crimson fog spread, various inexplicable cries rose and fell, at times people howling, at other times eerie laughter echoing, quickly followed by mournful wailing.

Furthermore, faint shadows loomed from the bloody mist, constantly approaching. If not for the old lady accompanying, her body emitting holy radiance to protect them, the two would definitely be unable to get through.

"This is too terrifying!" Even Wu Yaizu, a local, felt his scalp tingle.

A bloody scent wafted over as a large black claw pressed down. Without mentioning its main body, just the dripping blood from the sharp claw was a few meters long.

However, when it touched the divine light emitted by Grandma Wu, with a hiss, it ignited and, amidst a roar, quickly retreated.

Qin Ming’s expression changed. This segment of the path was indeed dangerous. If it were just him and Wu Yaizu, they’d never make it through.

Amid the damp heat and stench, a tongue over ten meters long appeared, along with an enormous pallid face closing in, trying to lick them.

With a boom, it was pierced by the divine light from the old lady, exploding entirely.

Nearby, shadows were densely packed, and the crucial thing was that they were monstrously huge, all standing like mountains. Even a casually extended claw blocked half the sky.

Dark clouds pressed down, which turned out to be insect wings, accompanied by a sharp proboscis, as if piercing through the night sky.

Thud, thud...

The ground shook as enormous feet passed by, causing nearby hundred-kilogram stones to bounce along.

In the bloody mist, it seemed all kinds of Demon Monsters roamed, with Demons dancing wildly, an apocalyptic scene, how could ordinary people survive encountering this?

The old lady scolded, "You’ve been dead for so many years, what’s the point of tormenting the locals now? A bunch of cowards, in your day you were hard as rock, when the Forbidden Land was breached, each one was shivering like a chicken and got killed."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s heart trembled. Just looking at the size of these Demon Monsters, one could tell how strong they were back then, yet they were so fragile in the face of some unknown existence?

It can only be said that the person who breached the Fourth Forbidden Land back then was overwhelmingly powerful!

At this moment, the old lady was like a deity statue, bathed in Pure Yang Light, clearing the path, either repelling or igniting various giant figures.

Along the way, Demons were unceasing, ghostly wails and howls filled the air, an endless variety of monsters appeared, traversing through Hell.

Even Xiao Wu was terrified. Is this his hometown? What kind of monstrous creatures were those ancestors, with their esteemed appearances? Huge as mountains, bizarrely shaped.

Without a word, they swiftly forged ahead, finally reaching the edge of the Fourth Forbidden Land.

Once there, the old lady halted. She couldn’t go any further, seemingly bound by some force, unable to escape the confines of the Forbidden Land.

In the haze, it seemed there were chains linked to her back, pulled taut. This was her limit.

"Grandma!" Wu Yaizu cried immediately upon seeing this.

"Silly child, I’m fine. This is not so bad; with attachments at heart, there is a place to return to. This is the path I came from, lest I become Lost." The old lady comforted him.

Lastly, she wiped Xiao Wu’s tears, looked at Qin Ming, and said, "Child, please take care of Xiao Wu for two months. He is very adaptable and will get used to the outside world soon."

Qin Ming nodded immediately, saying, "Don’t worry."

In the end, the old lady outlined a route for them, provided with a map, instructing them not to take the wrong path, for even outside the Forbidden Land, it wasn’t entirely safe.
