Ling Mo Xie shook his wrist, and the ghosts bound by the transparent chains immediately wailed and rushed towards the wronged spirits and resentful beings. In an instant, Resentment surged, and the air was thick with malevolent energy.
The sounds of wailing and roaring intertwined. Ling Mo Xie was not idle either; his proficiency in Shattering the Sky had reached its maximum, and he activated the next skill: Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky!
Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky was slightly stronger than Shattering the Sky, with damage comparable to Flying Immortal Sword. It was expected that when he activated the next skill, it would surpass Flying Immortal Sword and be Not Bad.
“Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky!” With the Coiling Dragon Sword raised high under the system's control, he swung it towards the resentful being in front of him. A blinding white light flashed as it struck solidly against the body of the resentful creature.
Ling Mo Xie advanced towards the lord's mansion with the ghosts. Accumulating small gains could lead to significant rewards; these seemingly insignificant Experience Points added up to something considerable. After half an hour, his experience bar had increased by nearly half, which was astonishing compared to other cultivators who were diligently training.
However, it was not all optimistic. After half an hour, Ling Mo Xie had only approached within about three thousand meters of the lord's mansion. Moreover, as he got closer to the mansion, resistance grew stronger, slowing his progress even further.
Seeing that the ghosts were about to disappear, Ling Mo Xie reluctantly let them hold off the wronged spirits and resentful beings while he continued to summon using Please Summon Fragrance.
Chen Yan sat steadily on the back of Big White, seemingly indifferent to everything happening around him.
However, Ling Mo Xie keenly noticed that those powerful resentful beings seemed to intentionally or unintentionally avoid Chen Yan's direction.
Could Chen Yan be some noble-blooded Spirit Beast? Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brow and thought for a moment but ultimately shook his head. Big White also had impressive bloodlines but posed no deterrent to these resentful beings. Chen Yan looked like nothing more than a lion—albeit a smaller version—and he couldn't recall any lion that could be considered more noble than the White Tiger Bloodline!
“Aw!” As Ling Mo Xie advanced, letting the ghosts deal with the wronged spirits and resentful beings while he summoned Underworld Creature, he soon arrived within two hundred meters of the lord's mansion.
He could vaguely see the magnificent buildings of the lord's mansion. The imposing structure was shrouded in thick Resentment, with terrifying howls emanating from within that sent chills down one's spine.
“Aw?” Big White turned to Ling Mo Xie, letting out a soft cry. “Do we really have to go in? We could level up in the square instead, right? I can feel that the Resentment inside the lord's mansion is much denser than that in the square!”
Ling Mo Xie looked down at Big White, only to see Chen Yan still maintaining his calm demeanor, seemingly unfazed by the overwhelming Resentment emanating from the lord's mansion ahead.
What is this guy's background?
Ling Mo Xie was even more curious about Chen Yan's origins, but now was not the time to think about that. He glanced back at the twenty-one ghosts behind him; he had become increasingly skilled at using Please Summon Fragrance, and his speed in summoning Underworld Creatures had improved significantly. These twenty-one ghosts had been summoned not long ago and were all still full of energy.
"Come in! Since you're here, why not step inside? Do you think I'm taking you for a walk?" Ling Mo Xie nodded, glanced at Big White, and said.
"Let's go!"
With that, he took the lead and walked toward the City Lord's Mansion.
Just as Ling Mo Xie stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, a creature filled with thick Resentment suddenly burst out from behind the Crimson Gate.
It lunged at Ling Mo Xie's neck!
"Die!" Ling Mo Xie was startled; his mind instantly focused on Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky. A thunderous explosion rang out, and the creature's dark blood dripped to the ground, staining it with inky flowers. The creature fell to the ground, retreating a few steps, its crimson eyes glaring at Ling Mo Xie as if ready to pounce at any moment.
Ling Mo Xie took a few steps back and got a clear look at the creature. It was a dog, covered in many swollen lumps resembling pus-filled blisters. It must have been the guard dog raised by the City Lord's Mansion. After being infected by Resentment, it had actually reached the level of a high-level vengeful spirit, matching Ling Mo Xie's current Level of eighty!
"Master, I told you! Look! Even the guard dog is this Not Bad; this City Lord's Mansion... it’s more dangerous than we thought!"
Big White's voice echoed in Ling Mo Xie's mind. However, Ling Mo Xie quickly used several skills to kill the dog and shook his head, saying, "Let's go in and take a look first. If it really doesn't work... we can always retreat!"
With that, Ling Mo Xie urged the ghosts to float into the City Lord's Mansion.
Upon entering the mansion, the air was incredibly foul. The dense Resentment made it feel oppressive, and a sense of resentment stirred within him.
"Ao ao!" Ling Mo Xie turned around and saw two red-eyed vengeful spirits approaching him. After using two Detection Skills, he realized they were two Advanced Grudge Ghosts!
The ghosts under Ling Mo Xie's command were also perceptive; upon seeing the vengeful spirits charge out, they rushed forward in a swarm. With their sea of people tactics, they quickly dealt with the two Advanced Grudge Ghosts.
However, Ling Mo Xie did not feel optimistic; instead, his heart grew heavier. He had just entered the Lord's Mansion and had not yet delved deep, yet he was already encountering Advanced Grudge Ghosts. If he went further inside, who knew what else he might face?
Once the two vengeful spirits perished, the surroundings fell silent, except for the distant sounds of howling. The dark Resentment enveloped the entire Skywind City, and even within the Lord's Mansion, it was worse. Despite Ling Mo Xie's Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could only see about ten meters ahead.
"Let's first check the main hall, then the Guest Room and Garden. However, I think the most likely place is still the Guest Room," Ling Mo Xie seemed to be speaking to the ghosts and Big White, or perhaps he was just talking to himself.
The architecture in this world was not much different from ancient Chinese buildings. The main hall should be aligned with the central axis facing the main gate. Ling Mo Xie cautiously led the ghosts toward the main hall.
"Pat pat!" The sound of Ling Mo Xie's footsteps echoed loudly in the pitch-black Resentment.
"Awoo!" A howl erupted as an Advanced Grudge Ghost suddenly charged at Ling Mo Xie from within the dark Resentment. It was quickly resolved by a few ghosts; it wasn't an Elite monster, and after Ling Mo Xie's level-up, the summoned ghosts were significantly more numerous than before.
Although vengeful spirits and resentful monsters occasionally emerged from the Resentment, Ling Mo Xie safely arrived before the main hall of the Lord's Mansion.
Through the Resentment, he could vaguely see that the hall's doors were wide open. Inside, chairs appeared somewhat disheveled, and a teacup lay shattered on the ground.
The hall seemed rather quiet, with no suspicious items that could be sources of Resentment.
