497 h.e.l.l Port (2)

However, the two of them didn’t put away the giant’s corpse immediately. Instead, they looked into the distance at the same time and their eyes gleamed.

In the direction they looked, two longswords whistled over from the storm.

Their might was astonis.h.i.+ng as they broke through the storm and arrived instantly. However, their target wasn’t Xu Qing and the captain but the other giants.

In the blink of an eye, as the flying swords swept out, three giants let out blood-curdling cries. Their bodies trembled as the flying sword pierced through their chests, exterminating their vitality.

At the same time, two figures whistled over from the storm.

These two people, a man and a woman, were both wearing white robes with a cape on their backs. Under the dim sky, there seemed to be dark fire on their robes, so their arrival was like two lumps of fire.

Xu Qing recognized their clothing at a glance. They were none other than the Sword Holders.

He had even seen the male cultivator before.

The captain also recognized him.

The other party was none other than the Sword Holder who had chased after the Golden Core old demon when Xu Qing and the others were patrolling the Immortal Enrichment River.

At that time, the other party knew that the Golden Core old demon wasn’t completely dead and deliberately gave Xu Qing and the captain a chance to pick the corpse.

At that moment, the two Sword Holders rushed out of the storm and headed straight for the giants. After they kept the giant’s corpses that they had killed, they looked at Xu Qing and the captain.

There was no communication between them. The two Sword Holders nodded at Xu Qing and the captain before turning to leave, entering the storm again.

Xu Qing had never seen the female Sword Holder before. He noticed that the other party was carrying a seven or eight-year-old girl on her back.

This little girl wasn’t a human. There were two slowly squirming tentacles between her glabella and a black strap that covered her eyes and was tied behind her head.

She silently lay on the woman’s back as though she was asleep.

After watching the two Sword Holders leave, Xu Qing glanced at the captain. The captain then spoke in a low voice.

“They aren’t the Sword Holders of the Yinghuang Province.”

Xu Qing could tell this as well. After all, during the Sword Holder a.s.sessment back then, all the Sword Holders from the Yinghuang Province were present. Although there were many of them, he had observed all of them.

“They should be doing some missions.” As Xu Qing spoke, he kept the giant he had killed. As for the other giants here, they had already scattered and fused into the wind, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Qing took a look and quickly rose into the air under the captain’s urging, returning to the flying s.h.i.+p in the storm.

Not long later, the flying s.h.i.+p left and traversed the storm. After flying for more than half a month, they finally arrived at the first transit station in the Yunfeng Province at dusk.

Xu Qing only had a rough idea of the route of this trip and didn’t know the details. Everything was planned by Purple Mystic Fairy and Lord Fifth.

For everyone’s safety, this plan was a secret. Other than Xu Qing and the captain, the others probably didn’t even know about it.

From the sky, this transit location looked more like a chaotic market.

There were many mud huts that protected them from the storm. There were many cultivators from all races.

Among them, there were also some black-clothed men with many earrings on their ears and malicious ghosts tattooed on their faces.

These people walked in the city square. Wherever they pa.s.sed, all the foreign cultivators would be on guard.

“This is the territory of the Ghost Mark Sect. The Ghost Mark Sect is one of the large factions in the Yunfeng province. They rear malicious ghosts and their spells are sinister.”

Purple Mystic Fairy’s voice echoed in Xu Qing’s mind. This was a voice transmission only directed at him.

When Xu Qing heard this, he took a few more glances at those men in black.

From the tattoos on their faces, he could faintly sense some obscure fluctuations. They were somewhat similar to the deviant ghosts he had seen in the ghost cave.

Their arrival attracted the attention of the cultivators.

However, as Purple Mystic Fairy alighted from the flying s.h.i.+p, everyone in the market fell silent. The pressure that belonged to Nihility caused the expressions of those men in black to change.

There were also a few men in black who immediately came over and respectfully welcomed them, sending them to the inn in the market.

“Rest for a night. Tomorrow, the night and day will alternate. The moment dawn breaks, a ghost s.h.i.+p will come to h.e.l.l Port. We’ll borrow the ghost s.h.i.+p to move forward.”

“The marketplace here will become a ghost lane at night. If you don’t have the ability, don’t go out recklessly.”

In the inn, Purple Mystic Fairy calmly spoke. After she finished speaking, she walked into her room. The others also suppressed their curiosity about ghost lane and the ghost s.h.i.+p Zi Xuan had mentioned and returned to their respective rooms.

“h.e.l.l Port? What’s a ghost s.h.i.+p?” The captain stood beside Xu Qing and asked curiously.

Xu Qing shook his head. His curiosity wasn’t that strong but he was a little interested in the ghost lane that Purple Mystic Fairy had mentioned.

This reminded him of the market he had visited in the Phoenix Forbidden.

Night soon fell. As the whimpering wind outside continued to echo, Xu Qing, who was cultivating cross-legged in the inn’s room, had a change in expression.

He could sense that at that instant earlier, the aura outside seemed to have reversed yin and yang, alternating between life and death. He had experienced this scene before and wasn’t unfamiliar with it.

Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he walked to the window.

Standing there, he pushed open a gap and looked outside.

The appearance of the market outside had changed drastically.

Countless ghosts and monsters floated on the streets. They had all kinds of sinister appearances, like a night parade of a hundred ghosts.

At the same time, many stores appeared, selling items needed by the dead.

In the distance, in the center of the market, there were a large number of iron chains that bound a large foot.

This huge foot floated in the air. Its entire body was green and it looked sinister. Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed the moment he saw it.

He had a faint feeling that this green foot seemed to come from the same source as the monk’s head he had seen in the Phoenix Forbidden’s ghost market.

“It was dismembered and scattered in different ghost lanes?” Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He simply pushed open the window and leaped out.

Previously, he had seen many good things at the ghost lane but he couldn’t afford them. Ever since he came to the Yinghuang Province, he had killed many people. Although he didn’t deliberately gather the heart blood, he had quite a lot of souls that could also be used as a currency.

Xu Qing felt that he could go take a look again.

However, in order to avoid the trouble caused by the shadow last time, Xu Qing didn’t let the shadow cover him this time. Instead, he activated the Third Heavenly Palace, causing his entire body to be filled with the aura of the Poison Restriction Pill.

Only then did he enter the ghost market and blend into the ghosts.

Time flowed by and Xu Qing’s journey in ghost lane was very smooth. He bought many ghost poison items.

Seeing that it was close to the break of dawn that Purple Mystic Fairy had mentioned, Xu Qing was about to return. However, not long after he walked out, when he pa.s.sed by a store, a faintly discernible voice rang out from the store.

The ghost lane was silent, so the faint sound of singing was quite conspicuous.

The voice didn’t feel out of place and fused with the market.

“The previous life is not here, but the afterlife is always here. I cut off the lovesickness and drew the mortal world…”

The instant this song entered Xu Qing’s ears, he stopped in his tracks and abruptly turned his head to look.
