Chapter 848: Chapter 240: Yellow Springs Underworld’s Unending Vastness, Central Capital’s Myriad Sects Forming the Academy

As Li Yuan was observing and pondering, he suddenly heard a scream nearby. He turned his head and saw a man dressed like a county native being pounced on by a female ghost in white. The ghost was greedily devouring something, and Li Yuan instinctively felt it was devouring longevity.

He looked back repeatedly and saw many panicked citizens running around. The little girl from before was crying heart-wrenchingly, crawling in fear on the ground.

These people were clearly those who had gone missing.

And within the shadows of the wilderness were many Ghost Servants.

In the eyes of these Ghost Servants, these living people were like tasty treats, each one of them pouncing and chasing after them.

One of the female ghosts, dressed in tattered clothes and with a bloody face, set her sights on Li Yuan and began to walk towards him shufflingly.

Li Yuan stared at the female ghost, thinking for a moment, then flicked his fingers, taking out a ghost coin with a "1 cent" denomination from the [Equipment Bar].

He raised his two fingers, his gaze quietly observing the reaction of the Ghost Servant.

Suddenly, that female ghost seemed to be provoked, running toward the money in Li Yuan’s hand.

Li Yuan waved the money.

The female ghost actually followed his movements, turning her head.

Li Yuan laughed, waving even more recklessly.

His movements quickly attracted the attention of several nearby Ghost Servants.

Clearly, the "1 cent" in his hand was more attractive than those living people.

Many Ghost Servants put the living people down and rushed towards Li Yuan at great speed.

Li Yuan smirked slightly, intending to use Withered Fire to eliminate these Ghost Servants, but just as the thought formed, an unimaginable strong repelling force came from all directions.

The pitch-black Yin Qi transformed into tremendous pressure like ocean currents, while he was like a bubble that had just started inflating.

Li Yuan put away Withered Fire and instead snapped back to reality, throwing the "1 cent" far away.

The money flew afar, and those Ghost Servants, like hungry dogs seeing bones, pounced on it.

From afar, many other Ghost Servants also put down the citizens they were chasing and rushed quickly towards the money.

Li Yuan watched this scene.

His previous conjecture received a small confirmation.

’Ghost coins are actually longevity coins.

They are formed by the condensation of human longevity.

Previously, Ghost Street had some integrity, only collecting the longevity of those harboring sins.

But now this completely new Ghost Street seemed indiscriminate, absorbing anyone and everyone.’

Li Yuan’s method of throwing money to lure ghosts immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Men and women around rushed to him, shouting "Master, save us," "Master, save us," "Where is this place," "Uncle, uncle"...

Various voices mixed together.

Li Yuan said, "Follow behind me, don’t ask, don’t speak, don’t stray too far."

When weak, he sought survival.

But when strong, he wouldn’t refuse if he could help a fellow kinsman in need.

But if among this group, anyone dared to use "you must do this or that for us" to morally coerce him, he would personally throw those people to the Evil Ghosts.

However, in times of chaos, which citizen would conduct moral coercion? Each one followed timidly behind him, both respectful and fearful.

Immediately, Li Yuan began to walk deeper into the wilderness, grabbing a "1 cent" and started waving it.

As he moved, many Ghost Servants who had previously pounced on ordinary people were all attracted, and behind him, more and more people began to follow.

This group of people advanced continuously through the wilderness.

But no matter how far they traveled, there seemed to be no end.

All around them were always gray, always monotonous scenery, always murky yellow heavy flowing water.

Seeing the number of people behind him increasing, Li Yuan suddenly thought of something. Withered Fire was transported by Domain Power to create a circle of withered white a mile around him.

As soon as this color appeared, deep black Yin Qi began to press in.

Li Yuan’s group suddenly became a giant red bubble, and with a loud "pop," they were squeezed out of that place. Upon reappearing, the surrounding scenery had transformed into a bustling market in the Human World, into a town.

The citizens in the market looked at this sudden group of people, exchanging puzzled glances.

And the citizens returned to the Human World were dumbfounded, too exhilarated to speak.

Li Yuan quietly left.

Only after returning from the ghostly realm did these citizens remember him, kneeling on the ground, hands clasped, yet only at this moment did they realize they still didn’t know that master’s name.

On this land, many had gone missing, but Li Yuan soon found another place devoured by Yin Qi and actively concealed his Yang Qi to enter.

He entered time and again, each time taking people out with him.

He traversed the boundless wilderness, where the scenery showed no hint of change.

Soon, his pocket of 30 "1 cent" ghost coins ran out, making his movements difficult.

At each location, Evil Ghosts would pounce, and he either killed them instantly, getting himself ejected from the Ghost Realm, then figuring out a way to re-enter, or he had to hide and avoid confrontation as much as possible.

During one of his excursions, he saw a Dragon Banner flying distantly, a sign of the Human Emperor’s arrival, but he had no intention of meeting, opting to move away and re-enter the Land of Evil Ghosts.

However, within the Ghost Land, he didn’t encounter the Human Emperor, but did see some soldiers, as well as Sixth and Fifth Grade experts.

Li Yuan speculated: The Human Emperor could not enter this Ghost Realm, but the army he brought could.

Unfortunately, those of Fifth and Sixth Grade could enter but not exit.

This "Land of Evil Ghosts" was unlike "Ghost Street," here one could only enter but not leave.

Days passed by.
