"Ugh--"
"It seems we really have been abandoned."
Qiu Sheng sighed helplessly.
Previously, when Uncle Nine brought Su Feng back to Renjia Town, he subdued all the ghosts wandering in Renjia Town in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
At the same time, the effect of the Yang Protection Array was enhanced to prevent ghosts from outside from suddenly barging in.
The two of them were left inside to ensure the formation remained intact.
But how could they possibly stay still all night?
"Is everything alright in town now? Shall we go outside and take a look?" Qiu Sheng suddenly suggested.
Wen Cai, however, drooped his mouth, kicked aside the wooden box placed in the corner, cleared a space, and leaned back lazily with his legs crossed.
"No, let's just listen to Young Master Su and wait here. We'll get scolded again if we go out later."
Although this wasn't the first time they'd been taught a lesson, this time it was particularly serious.
Even the usually calm and collected Young Master Su complained and rebuked them... He naturally felt somewhat ashamed.
"Tch, coward."
Qiu Sheng pursed his lips, put his hands on his hips, and continued to look at the rain outside the street.
He didn't know how to get through that night.
Are we supposed to count stars until dawn...? But the problem is, there aren't any stars overhead, not even a moon.
Just then, Qiusheng suddenly heard some strange noises.
It sounded like someone was calling his name.
"Huh?..." Qiu Sheng paused, then peeked out from under the eaves. "Did you hear that just now? It sounded like someone was calling my name~"
"Where's that sound? Are you hallucinating?" Wen Cai remained lying flat, seemingly bored.
"Qiusheng—"
"Qiusheng—"
This time, the sound came from a distance and was especially clear.
"Huh? There really is a sound?"
The two were startled and looked in the same direction at the same time.
To the side lies the direction of the town entrance, beneath which lies a pitch-black expanse of darkness, beneath that tall signboard.
Only endless raindrops fall...
"Qiusheng—"
"Literary talent——"
The two listened carefully and realized it was a woman's voice.
In the dead of night, a woman is calling my name?
The events of the day sent chills down their spines, and they trembled uncontrollably.
"Holy crap, could it be a ghost?"
Don't scare me!
Their cultivation level was insufficient, and their daily training was basically just going through the motions.
He can't even be called an exorcist; he's not even as good as one of Uncle Nine's toes.
If they were to encounter a vengeful ghost seeking their lives at this time, they might truly perish here.
Just then, the woman's voice came again, and it sounded somewhat excited.
"Hey, what are you all doing? Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, I'm right here!"
Finally, their gazes converged on the edge of town, where a "person" was waving at them from the grassy field.
"Xiao Li?!"
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai said in unison, their eyes suddenly lighting up.
That's right, the person who appeared in that open space was none other than Xiao Li, who had appeared at the theater last night.
However, after dealing with the ghost messengers, Xiao Li also disappeared, leaving them quite disappointed after searching for her for a while.
Upon hearing the beautiful woman calling out, the two men, though somewhat suspicious, still eagerly rushed out of the rain and headed towards the town entrance.
Strangely, Xiaoli just stood outside the town, outside the copper coins set up by the array... and showed no intention of coming in.
"Xiaoli? What are you still doing here?"
"Aren't you afraid, being a young woman all alone so late?"
Despite the torrential rain, Qiu Shengwen ran to Xiao Li.
Xiaoli was soaked to the bone. Her thin gauze dress could not hide her graceful figure; in fact, the rain had helped to conceal it.
The already transparent gauze dress, once soaked, would reveal a glimpse of spring, making Qiu Shengwen stare wide-eyed.
"And you're one to talk! I didn't see you guys at the theater. Where did you go?" Xiaoli stomped her feet angrily and playfully punched Wencai's chest.
This intimate contact with a beautiful woman caused Jiao Wencai's brain to shrink, and his eyes almost burst with tears.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the situation at the time, or why Xiaoli knew the ghost messenger, or why she disappeared after the ghost messenger was driven away.
They've all been forgotten.
"On the contrary, what are you all still doing here?" Xiaoli raised her eyebrows, her bright eyes looking over curiously.
"Hehe, of course..." Wen Cai was so captivated that he almost blurted out what Uncle Jiu and Su Feng had told him.
Fortunately, Qiu Sheng still retained some sense and pinched Wen Cai's thigh hard, interrupting him from saying what he was about to say.
"Ahem...that's nothing to worry about. It's raining so hard, if Miss Xiaoli wants to go home, we can take you."
As Qiu Sheng spoke, he glanced at the copper coins on the ground, then looked up at Xiao Li's unnaturally pale complexion.
At this moment, several questions arose in his mind, making him feel somewhat strange.
But just then, a strong wind suddenly blew in from afar...
The entire area seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and strange rustling sounds could be heard from within.
Even Xiaoli, who had been grinning (about getting money), couldn't help but be surprised and looked into the depths of the forest.
Such powerful spiritual energy!
Where did this come from?!

Chapter 273 The Qi of Heaven and Earth! Ten Thousand Ghosts Unleash!
A dense spiritual energy swept over everything.
Like streams of clear spring water, spreading outward from a certain point...
Xiaoli could feel every nerve in her body being stimulated by this spiritual energy, and her eyes suddenly glowed.
"Xiaoli? What's wrong?"
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai exchanged bewildered glances, both puzzled by Xiao Li's sudden and strange actions.
Before anyone could respond, Xiaoli hurriedly turned and left, disappearing into the fields in an instant.
"I go!"
The two were nearly startled.
"What was that just now?!"
It just floated away on the spot?
real or fake?
A hazy feeling was awakened, and a beautiful fantasy was shattered!
Wen Cai felt a chill run through his body, and his expression was frozen stiff.
"Hurry up and follow!"
Qiu Sheng quickly replied.
He was unaware of what had just happened, but he did understand the overwhelming spiritual energy that had invaded him!
The spiritual energy that even someone like him, whose cultivation and spiritual attainment are clearly insufficient, could clearly sense was extraordinary!
"cocoa……"
Wencai pointed to the array on the ground, and said with difficulty, "Master told us to stay here and not leave..."
"What time is it now? Why do you still care about this place... Besides, Young Master Su has already caught all the ghosts in the town, so what's there to be afraid of!"
Qiu Sheng hurriedly left a message, then, ignoring Wen Cai's attempts to stop him, he braved the torrential rain and ran wildly into the dark rain ahead.
"Oh dear! This, this..."
Wen Cai hesitated for only a second before following Qiu Sheng's footsteps.
……
A violent storm raged, with thunder and lightning.
Su Feng stood atop a high mountain, using three spirit stones at his feet to aid him in spreading the spiritual energy within his body.
He will use himself as bait to attract all the ghosts within a hundred miles.
It's like a delicious dish; its aroma alone is enough to attract all the starving ghosts...
Such temptations are irresistible to all demons and monsters!
