Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang screamed at the visage of the figure standing before him. This was something he had never come across. Even if the world was filled with myths that there were all sorts of cultivators, he did not expect this to be true. 

Before him stood an old man with an ethereal glow radiating from his body. However, what scared him was that this old man was missing a pair of legs. Shi Lang could not comprehend what he was witnessing. He had encountered ghosts and spirit cultivators in his past life, but it was such a long time ago that his brain could not compute this event.  𝑜𝐯𝗅xt.𝓬𝒐𝑚

As he screamed, the old man frowned and scolded him, “What are yous creaming for, brat? Never seen a wandering spirit before? What well have you been living in for all your life?” 

Shi Lang was shocked to hear such words. He was embarrassed. To cover his image, he retorted, “You undying piece of spirit energy, who are you accusing of living in a well? Do you not have any manners? Why did it not jump out of nowhere? Is it not obvious for a human to exclaim when you decide to scare them like this?”

The old man scoffed, saying, “I have never seen a human who can lie without batting their eyelid.” 

Shi Lang was facing complete disdain from this old ghost. Since his words could not salvage his impression, he used his strength. The next moment, a spark of lightning appeared on his body. The old ghost opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, “Hey! Can you not listen to the word of reason? Why do you have to act like this, be civil.” 

Shi Lang sneered and said, “Give me one good reason to be civil with an uncouth old ghost?” 

The old ghost sighed and said, “Young man, if you feel like vanquishing me with your lightning will bring you peace, then feel free to do so. However, you will only be ending my chance to reincarnate. Are you sure you wish to bear that karma on your destiny?” 

Shi Lang frowned and replied, “Old man, I do not stir up trouble, but you should know how to act humble.” 

The old ghost nodded and said, “Fine, how about we both take a step back?” 

The terran retracted the lightning energy and asked, “Fine, now will you tell me what is happening here? Also, call out that other fellow. You both are spooking me.” 

The old ghost smiled. His pale face looked even more terrifying. Shi Lang found that the old ghost had less hair on his head, and his eyes were sunken. His gums looked abnormally red. Sure enough, this guy was a classic fit for the ghosts described by the books. 

The old ghost turned and said, “Young Master Min, come over. This guy is not scary like those fellows.” 

After the old man finished his words, a young child walked over. This guy was wearing an emerald green hanfu, which made him look like some prince. Shi Lang could not help but marvel that this young child seemed stronger than the old man. The old ghost said, “Yes, he is stronger than me in terms of spiritual strength, but he is still a child, so he is not much developed in that department.” 

The young boy raised his head and said, “Grandpa Li, what are you talking about? What department is Min not developed in?” 

Shi Lang realized what the old man was talking about. The old ghost watched the young ghost flaring up and said, “No, no, young master, you misunderstand. I meant to say that you are benevolent and not cunning like those old fellows and humans from the lost bird sect.” 

Young Master Min snorted, and the baby fat on his cheek trembled. He said, “Those bastards, they dare to take away my future wife. I wish to beat them up.” 

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow in surprise and asked, “Young Master, why did they take away your bride? How dare they?” 

The young ghost looked at Shi Lang, and with an indignant expression, he said, “Hmph, they think we do not know what they do here in the name of spiritual cultivation? They use the Yin energy in us to balance their defected Yang Energy. They have been doing this for centuries and managed to escape these crimes. Every few years, some person would come down the mountain and take away a Ghost Lord.” 

Shi Lang mumbled, “Ghost Lords.” 

Old Ghost Li said, “The realm is similar to human cultivation levels.” 

Realization dawned upon Shi Lang, who nodded as he asked, “Young Master Min, do you wish to avenge your future wife?” 

Young Master Min widened his eyes and nodded. He said, “I am also a Ghost Lord, but I hid far away when those people came. You tell me what we have to do. I assure you that if you are strong enough, all the elder brothers and sisters in the valley’s depths will help you.” 

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I would like to meet all these people you have mentioned. Do not worry. I am sure of my strength and will not shame your name.” 

Young Master Min thought for a bit before he said, “If you can solve the arrays in the next five zones, I will take you to the Lost Valley Council. You will get to meet my elder siblings then.” 

Shi Lang nodded and said, “I will not shame you, Young Master Min.” 

The young man nodded in approval and said, “Follow me.” 

Shi Lang nodded and followed the pair of ghosts. Lie Hu was very anxious with this situation. However, the terran told it with spiritual bond that the ghosts were afraid of lightning. The big cat relaxed and Shi Lang arrived in another natural formation. 

He took his spear and after scanning the area he attacked the nodes. This followed up for another five zones and Young Master Min clapped. He said, “Young man, you do have some skill. I will give you that.” 

Shi Lang was caught between laughter and tears. He needed the help of these ghosts, otherwise, he would have showed them his skills. With this thought he arrived in the depths of the valley.
