“After hearing Dongkui’s story, Ying Naiyan still had doubts but didn’t say much.”
“After all, her cultivation was only at the Heaven Ghost Realm, so she had nothing to comment on regarding a half-step Ghost King powerhouse’s experience.”
“On the contrary, Dongkui was completely unrestrained, casually sitting across from Ying Naiyan.”
“She decisively drank the spirit tea before her, showing a look of enjoyment.”
“Truly had slept too long.”
“Even this spirit tea containing a bit of ghost energy made her spirit body feel comfortable.”
“Not bad, not bad, it’s better to be awake.”
“Wait, Dongkui suddenly remembered something important.”
“She propped herself up on one hand on the table, leaning close to Ying Naiyan, slowly closing her eyes.”
“This sudden action startled Ying Naiyan, who instinctively retreated half a step.”
“What was this about?”
“Kissing?”
“No, that’s a bit much.”
“Even if you’re a half-step Ghost King, you can’t be so presumptuous, right? Besides, we’re both female ghosts, boss.”
“Just as Ying Naiyan prepared to firmly refuse, Dongkui suddenly opened her eyes and said disappointedly, ‘It shouldn’t be you.’”
“That sentence left Ying Naiyan completely confused.”
“Not me? Senior, what are you talking about?”
“Dongkui furrowed her brow slightly, trying to recall.”
“When I was sleeping before, I once sensed a very familiar aura.”
“But I just can’t remember to whom that aura belonged.”
“Now it seems it’s probably not you.”
“Ying Naiyan’s mind stirred, and she quickly said, ‘When I brought ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) you back, it wasn’t only me, but also my husband Ye Yu. Maybe the familiar aura comes from him.’”
“Dongkui suddenly became interested.”
“Your husband? Where is he? Let me see him quickly.”
“Ying Naiyan nodded slightly, then took out a communication stone to contact Ye Yu.”
“But after several calls, there was no response.”
“This made Ying Naiyan’s heart suddenly sink.”
“Could it be something happened to him?”
“Thinking this possibility, Ying Naiyan became panicked.”
“She swiftly flashed her figure and arrived at the Ye family’s Baiying Hall.”
“There, hundreds of soul remembrance lamps were stored.”
“Each direct disciple of the Ye family would at birth link a trace of soul power to their soul lamp.”
“When the ghost exists, the lamp is lit.”
“When the ghost vanishes, the lamp goes out.”
“At this moment, the soul lamp related to Ye Yu was completely extinguished.”
“The meaning was obvious without saying.”
“Ying Naiyan simply could not accept this fact.”
“She involuntarily stepped back two steps.”
“Her soul body became turbulent.”
“Fortunately, a hand pressed on her shoulder from behind, injecting a portion of ghost energy.”
“This quickly restored Ying Naiyan’s calm.”
“Dongkui could not help but ask, ‘What’s wrong? Did something happen?’”
“Ying Naiyan opened her mouth.”
“But no words could come out; only tears kept falling.”
“The next day.”
“Ying Naiyan came to a valley outside Bitter Cold City.”
“Ye Yu had previously told her.”
“If anything happened to him, she could come check the bamboo house here.”
“At first, Ying Naiyan even jokingly told Ye Yu to stop saying such unlucky words.”
“But unexpectedly, less than ten years later, it really came true.”
“Ying Naiyan quietly stood outside the bamboo house, waiting a long time before finally summoning courage to unlock the sealing array and push open the door.”
“The space inside was not large, just a simple one-room.”
“There, Ying Naiyan found a handwritten letter from Ye Yu.”
“Yes, she was certain it was written by Ye Yu himself.”
“Because besides her husband, no one else could write such wild, large, and ugly characters.”
“That was truly Ye Yu’s style.”
“The letter was not long, less than a hundred words.”
‘Soul shattering is not the end. After everything is gone, there will be a new beginning. Perhaps then I will no longer be a Ghost Immortal, but a celestial immortal of the Heavenly Realm.’
“After reading it, Ying Naiyan was utterly confused.”
“What does it mean that after everything is gone, there is a new beginning?”
“And how could a Ghost Immortal become an immortal? They’re completely different concepts.”
“Ying Naiyan sat in the bamboo house for several days but couldn’t understand the meaning of the letter.”
“Could it be that Ye Yu wanted her to ascend to the Heavenly Realm?”
“How was that possible?”
“After several days, Ying Naiyan took the letter and left the bamboo house.”
“She began to roam the entire Underworld.”
“She was a rational person but still wanted to find a miracle.”
“What if Ye Yu was still alive?”
“Though she knew it was impossible, what if?”
“Moreover, even if Ye Yu truly had vanished like smoke and clouds.”
“As his wife, Ying Naiyan had the right to know why her husband had died.”
“If it was an accident, Ying Naiyan wouldn’t say anything.”
“But if he was killed, then Ying Naiyan would do nothing else this life.”
“She would live for revenge, never dying until justice was done!”
“After centuries of searching, Ying Naiyan finally found news of Ye Yu in the western Underworld.”
“To be honest, even after such a long time.”
“Ye Yu’s name in the southern Underworld’s Langlang City was still resoundingly famous.”
“With one man’s strength, he fought against the leaders of fifty-eight ghost sects, and they ultimately died together.”
“Yes, they perished together.”
“At that time, due to the obstruction of the formation barrier, the ghost sect elders outside had no knowledge of what happened inside.”
“After everything calmed down.”
“The ghost sect elders dared to remove the formation barrier.”
“But they found the scene inside was terribly tragic.”
“No living ghosts remained.”
“In this case, naturally, they assumed it was a mutual destruction outcome.”
“As for glowing spots or such, they never saw any.”
“They only noticed a huge pit beside the riverbank.”
“They thought it was the scar left by Ye Yu’s battle with the ghost sect leaders and didn’t think much more.”
“But everyone unanimously agreed Ye Yu was truly ruthless, no, he must be a ruthless ghost.”
“One against fifty-eight, nearly wiping out all the ghost sects in the western Underworld.”
“This ending was truly unexpected.”
“However, one thing puzzled them deeply.”
“Where exactly was Langlang City, and why had no one ever heard of this ghost city?”
“Could it be a hidden ghost city, and that’s why the ghosts that emerged from it were so powerful?”
