Chapter 1 The Wounded

That's right, the personnel hunting the Giant-Headed Bloodhounds in Ruoyun Stone Ground suffered widespread casualties all because of the appearance of the Yangxu ghost.

According to the wounded, the Yangxu ghost seemed to be just passing by, but it clashed with the clustered Giant-Headed Bloodhounds.

In Fang Yue's concept, guilie and guiyi (ghosts and anomalies) seemed to have little difference.

But they themselves are independent existences, and there is no such thing as harmonious coexistence.

After the conflict broke out, the violent Giant-Headed Bloodhound packs impacted the hunters, causing heavy casualties.

If the Giant-Headed Bloodhounds hadn't been targeting them, simply injuring people incidentally during the battle, probably few of them would have returned alive.

Having experienced this incident, most of the wounded outside suffered psychological shadows. If Fang Yue wasn't the captain, they probably wouldn't be willing to mention the Ruoyun Stone Ground again.

It is estimated that after recovering from their injuries this time, they will not go hunting Giant-Headed Bloodhounds again in the future.

But why would the Yangxu ghost group appear in Ruoyun Stone Ground... are they here for me?

Fang Yue thought about the ghost curse of the Yangxu ghost on his body. He had been staying in the village these days, so comfortable that he hadn't taken it to heart at all.

After all, Mo Village has an ancient formation. Even if it breaks a hole, the deterrent power of the formation is still there, and he is not afraid of small ghosts.

Seeming to see what Fang Yue was thinking, the Blood Hunter sat up straight.

"Ye-ge, maybe they really are coming for you."

"How do you say that?"

The Blood Hunter frowned.

"I heard it from others. I heard that a few days ago, people saw solitary Yangxu ghosts appearing near Mo Village one after another. But they didn't suddenly hurt people, and some people couldn't recognize the Yangxu ghosts at all, so they didn't take it seriously, thinking they were just passing ghosts.

But as time went by, the number of Yangxu ghosts around Mo Village increased instead of decreasing, gradually forming a group. This kind of team action by ghosts is already tricky, and the Yangxu ghosts are not weak, making them even more difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, after they reached a certain scale in number, they began to disperse, forming separate small group actions.

Therefore, Mo Village no longer sent people to pay attention to their movements.

I didn't expect that after the Yangxu ghost group was divided into zero, they would be active in Ruoyun Stone Ground, and also have conflicts with the Giant-Headed Bloodhound group.

And I... just encountered an unexpected disaster."

Speaking of the end, the Blood Hunter sighed deeply.

Luck, sometimes, is just so bad.

A day earlier, a day later, he would not have encountered this conflict between ghosts and the hunting group, but he just happened to meet it.

"Condolences..." Fang Yue also sighed, and then said, "But from what you said, these Yangxu ghosts should have nothing to do with me."

The Blood Hunter looked at Fang Yue strangely.

"Ye-ge, don't you think that the initial target of those Yangxu ghosts was you in Mo Village? Don't forget that your ghost curse is still there, and it is much stronger than the one I and Doctor An encountered before. But Mo Village has a formation, and no ghosts dare to enter the village to mess around. They are not willing to leave, so they naturally wander around the village, waiting for an opportunity."

Ah this...

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat. Listening to the Blood Hunter's analysis, it seemed that there was really some possibility.

Just...

"Just for me alone, a Yangxu ghost group of this size was dispatched? That's unlikely, right?"

The Blood Hunter shook his head slightly, only saying, 'Don't underestimate any kind of ghost curse', and then lay down.

"I'm tired, let me be alone."

Having just been told that he was a cripple, the Blood Hunter's mood had not eased, and he was deeply shocked. Fang Yue naturally understood.

Leaving the room, leaving him time to be alone, Fang Yue frowned and thought for a while, left Doctor An's medical clinic, and went straight to the formation eye where Captain Lang Wu was.

After a while, Fang Yue arrived at the place.

"Captain Ye, how is the situation of the wounded at Doctor An's medical clinic?"

Captain Lang Wu had also just received first-hand information. Seeing Fang Yue coming over, he immediately asked.

Fang Yue briefly explained the situation at the medical clinic, and then asked about the Yangxu ghost group.

If the Yangxu ghosts were really coming for him, then the problem would be serious!

Fang Yue didn't want to stay in Mo Village all the time, but returning to the village with a ghost curse, given the size of the Yangxu ghost group mentioned by the Blood Hunter, he would be torn apart in minutes, and wouldn't be able to step out of Mo Village for a second.

Therefore, the top priorities are to find out the true purpose of the Yangxu ghosts, and to find a way to solve his own ghost curse.

"The Yangxu ghosts did frequently appear near Mo Village a few days ago, but no casualties occurred. Instead, they retreated far away when they saw people. Unaware people thought they were harmless little ghosts. I have never seen this kind of intelligent behavior of the Yangxu ghosts before. To be precise, I have only seen the Yangxu ghosts a few times. kanδん

However, since the Yangxu ghosts didn't hurt people, I naturally didn't take them seriously. It wasn't until the number of Yangxu ghosts increased that I had the idea of sending people to clean them up, but before I could take action, they began to disperse and form small groups, and then scattered away—it can be said that there is not even a single Yangxu ghost to be seen near Mo Village now.

Since this is the case, I naturally didn't take them to heart. I didn't expect them to gather in Ruoyun Stone Ground and cause such a thing."

As he spoke, Captain Lang Wu showed a bit of guilt and regret.

For a [Houtian Yiliu] (Acquired First-Rate) realm powerhouse like him, the Yangxu ghost, a [Black-Level Initial Stage Ghost], posed no threat at all.

If he had been more decisive at the time, and had taken the lead in dealing with the [Yangxu ghost] group before its numbers had accumulated, the situation would never have become so tricky now.

"That disciple who was favored by Lady Ni Dongmei is probably doomed..."

Captain Lang Wu said meaningfully, and Fang Yue raised his eyebrows.

"She has her own destiny. If she really dies young, then it is fate."

When there is no danger outside, Fang Yue may not even go out to look for clues, let alone now that the [Yangxu ghost] group outside is very likely targeting him.

Going out now is just courting death?

"I'm just saying... you're overreacting..."

Captain Lang Wu gave a dry laugh.

He wanted to please Lady Ni Dongmei. This Seventh Elder of the Jibing (Extreme Ice) Sect is in a high position of power. If Mo Village has her help in the future, it will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

This is different from the Liehuo (Blazing Fire) Sect and other sects.

The Liehuo Sect and other sects only accept disciples in the Blackgreen Mountain Range area. Apart from sending an elder to seek medical treatment more than ten years ago, they have never sent anyone with status and real power from the sect to Mo Village. They basically drew a clear line with Mo Village and handled official business.

Captain Lang Wu didn't know why the people outside didn't dare to designate the Blackgreen Mountain Range as their territory, maybe because of Lord Han, maybe because of the formation in Mo Village, or for other reasons.
