Chapter 459: Chapter 323: Entering the City God Temple Ruins!

“I plan to enter the City God Temple ruins and talk to the City God.”

Xu Yang said, “Director Chen, are you going to the City God Temple ruins as well?”

Chen Jingzhou originally wanted to say no.

After all, Xu Yang had arrived, and everything was guaranteed. By that time, he could learn about the situation inside the “Ghost Realm” through Xu Yang.

However, before he could speak, Xu Yang pulled him into the gray fog and said, “What a coincidence? I have something to ask you… let’s talk while we walk.”

“I…”

Chen Jingzhou looked back.

The road they had taken was gone, and all they could see was a vast expanse of rolling gray fog, which was the same in all directions.

After a moment’s stupefaction, Chen Jingzhou quickly resumed the “Smiling Tiger” appearance, and said, “A few days ago, the Ghost Realm of the City God Temple ruins expanded, engulfing the surrounding residential areas, and the people in several residential buildings didn’t have time to evacuate.”

He briefly explained the situation.

“Our Silver City branch has sent four teams of 12 people to investigate it, but they didn’t return, so I decided to go in myself, and I didn’t expect to meet you, Director Xu.”

He laughed and said, “With Director Xu taking action, there is hope for those people to be saved.”

Xu Yang waved his hand and said, “I am not a god, and if people die, I can’t save them… Of course, if they are alive, I won’t stand by and watch.”

As they walked forward, Xu Yang asked about the situation of the City God Temple ruins.

“Wait!”

10 minutes later, Xu Yang suddenly stopped and said seriously, “There’s a problem!”

“The City God Temple ruins are located underground of the former Silver City Institute of Technology… and there are many buildings around the Silver City Institute of Technology. Where are those buildings?”

Hearing this, Chen Jingzhou looked up at the surrounding area.

All he could see was still a piece of gray sky and earth, in which he couldn’t distinguish the directions or see any buildings.

He tried to use the true meaning of martial arts to disperse the gray fog.

However, the next moment…

Whoosh!

A ghostly figure suddenly rushed out from the depths of the gray fog.

The figure was covered in blood, with a fierce aura, and appeared to be a red-robed ghost. Its eyes were mad, seemingly devoid of sanity, and crashed headlong into Feng Zhaoqing’s true martial arts intent, spreading around him like a moth to a flame. With a puff, it was ignited by Feng’s powerful martial arts intent and exuberant Qi and blood, and after a few bizarre screams, it turned into ashes.

Chen Jingzhou was an experienced martial arts Grandmaster.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, with unparalleled Qi and blood and martial arts intent, just half a step away from the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm.

That red-robed ghost directly crashed into him, which was no different from seeking death.

Chen Jingzhou blinked and wondered, “What’s going on? The intelligence of red-robed ghosts that can cultivate to this level is not bad, so why would this one seek death?”

Xu Yang looked around.

He found that within the gray fog, faint ghosts appeared, all rushing towards their location.

Immediately, he activated his mana and formed a protective barrier in front of him, blocking all the ghostly figures.

He looked closely and found that these ghosts had bloodshot eyes and mad expressions on their faces.

Obviously…

Their sanity had been greatly affected.

Xu Yang caught a ghost into the mana barrier and beat it to pieces on the ground with a hammer. The twisted ghost remained insanely violent, providing Xu Yang with no “merit” at all.

Chen Jingzhou looked dumbfounded and asked, “Director Xu, what are you doing…?”

Holy crap!

Were the rumors outside true?

Was Director Xu…

Something mentally abnormal?

The ghost was just an ordinary red-robed level, and Xu Yang could crush it with just a finger, so why torture it like this?

“I’m exorcising ghosts.”

Xu Yang ignored Chen Jingzhou’s expression, struck the ghost again with a hammer, turning it into a “physically transcended” ghost, and asked, “Where did all these ghosts come from in this fog?”

“The gray fog can devour ghosts.”

Chen Jingzhou said, “Once the ghosts approach, they will be swallowed by the fog… and it seems that this place can enhance the ghosts’ abilities, affecting their sanity. I’ve seen many Minor Demons swallowed by the fog before, but now they all appear as red-robed.”

“Director Xu, what should we do next?”

Xu Yang waved his hand, the mana shook, and the dozen or so red-robed ghosts in front of him were killed one by one. Then he activated the “Heavenly Eye” to look forward again.

The way ahead was still shrouded in fog.

However, within the fog, there appeared buildings.

What he saw was the gate of the Silver City Institute of Technology, which was wide open. At the top of the gate hung a row of human head lanterns, each holding a red candle. The mouths of the heads were all open, emitting red lights, and the dim red light reflected in the gray fog made the scene look even more eerie.

“Go!”

“Let’s go in!”

Xu Yang’s eyes moved slightly, and he walked toward the open gate.

However, in Chen Jingzhou’s eyes, there was still only a gray fog, without any buildings. Xu Yang took out the “Heavenly Eye Talisman” and attached it to Chen Jingzhou’s forehead.

“Director Chen, activate the Daoist talisman and take another look.”

Chen Jingzhou followed Xu Yang’s instructions and used the “Heavenly Eye Talisman”, and the view before him changed.

He looked around and saw several residential buildings. The lights in the rooms of the buildings were still on, albeit very dim in the fog, and he said urgently, “Director Xu, the lights are still on… those people must still be alive!”

As he said this, he wanted to go for the rescue, but Xu Yang stopped him.

“Director Chen, as long as they’re alive, it’s enough.”

“Even if you go over there now and manage to bring them out of the building…but can you actually get them out of the Ghost Realm?”

Xu Yang looked over as well and saw the numerous ghostly shadows around the building, estimating that there might be nearly a hundred of them. He said, “As long as they’re alive, that’s good. The top priority right now is to find the City God… Only with his approval can we rescue them.”

The two entered the school.

They saw that the original location of Silver City Institute of Technology’s sports field had collapsed into a massive pit.

Within the pit, gray fog rolled like smoke, continuously drifting outward.

“It looks like the ruins of the City God Temple are underneath.”

Xu Yang came to the edge of the pit and looked down, only to see a strange iron door in the center of the ruins. The door was wide open, and the darkness inside was accompanied by an eerie Yin wind blowing out.

Vague sounds of singing and dancing could also be heard.

However, instead of entering the pit right away, Xu Yang turned and walked towards a school building nearby.

Chen Jingzhou, being aware of the dangers within the Ghost Realm, had no choice but to follow closely behind Xu Yang, asking, “Director Xu, where are we heading now?”

Xu Yang said, “We’re going to the piano room upstairs to find a female student.”

Chen Jingzhou was surprised and asked, “The students from Silver City Institute of Technology have already moved away… Wait, Director Xu, are you talking about the female ghost hiding in the piano room?”

As the Director of the Silver City branch,

Chen Jingzhou was quite familiar with Silver City Institute of Technology.

He knew about the “haunted piano room” incident and had seen the detailed files, even knowing that the “female student” was named Pang Juan.

“Her name is Pang Juan, right?”

As Xu Yang climbed the stairs, he laughed and said, “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have remembered her name… Pang Juan is a friend of mine. I have to owe my current piano playing skills to her.”

Chen Jingzhou: “Director Xu, you even know how to play the piano?”

Xu Yang: “Just a little, just a little… I have a wide range of interests and want to learn a bit about everything… Although my piano skills have reached performance level, I haven’t touched a piano since childhood.”

“……”

Chen Jingzhou was baffled by this statement.

Damn!

If you haven’t touched a piano since childhood, how did you get to performance-level skills?

However, now was not the time to delve into such matters.

There were no ghosts blocking their way inside the building.

However, as the two went up the stairs, a set of footsteps kept following them.

Chen Jingzhou wanted to turn back and look, but was stopped by Xu Yang.

As soon as they entered the building, Xu Yang noticed the footsteps and his powerful divine sense had “seen” the source of the footsteps… It was a three-foot-tall mud sculpture statue. The outer layer was painted with a dark red paint that had peeled off in some places. It followed silently behind Xu Yang and Chen Jingzhou, looking rather dull and clumsy.

Its movements were clumsy, and its footsteps were heavy.

Especially when climbing the stairs, its footsteps made loud clattering sounds, echoing in the empty building.

The key issue was…

Despite that, it still had the appearance of being a “surveillance expert.”

It ran to the corner of the stairs, stuck out half of its head to sneak a peek at Xu Yang and Chen Jingzhou, and then rolled to another corner to continue observing…

This successfully amused Xu Yang.

It made Xu Yang, who had wanted to smash the mud statue to death with a single blow, hold back.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the fourth-floor piano room.

The door of the piano room was still locked, and the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” that Xu Yang had personally attached to it was still there. This made him breathe a sigh of relief…

Since the “Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman” was still there,

It meant that no Yin spirits had attacked the piano room, so the chances of Pang Juan being “alive” were quite high.

He knocked on the door.

There was no response from inside the piano room.

Instead, the mud sculpture statue ran out, its little legs creating afterimages, and hid at the door of the adjacent classroom.

The door of the classroom was closed, and the statue’s large stomach was half-exposed outside.

It carefully stretched out its head to glance at Xu Yang and Chen Jingzhou, and then quickly pulled it back, patting its chest. It had a terrified look on its face, as if it was relieved that it hadn’t been discovered.

“Pang Juan.”

“Are you still there?”

Xu Yang spoke up, “It’s me, Xu Yang.”

However, there was still no sound from inside the piano room.

With a clatter, the mud sculpture statue ran out again.

It rolled around, trying to sneak past Xu Yang and Chen Jingzhou, but Xu Yang grabbed it with one hand as he turned around.

Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh with anger, biting his teeth and saying, “Damn it… Do you think I’m air?”

With a disbelieving look on its face, the statue exclaimed, “Impossible, this can’t be… My tracking skills are unbeatable, how did you find me?”

“Ding!”

“The evil god is scared. Merit points +100, physical constitution +1, tracking +1.”
