Chapter 619: Failed After Trying
【Happy Lantern Festival, and even happier updates. 】

The south gate of Hongsong City, Chu Fei had never been here before.

As soon as Chu Fei arrived in Hongsong City, he met the Jinhua Merchants Group on the main road east of Hongsong City. The Jinhua Merchants Group’s headquarters in Hongsong City was also located at the east city gate.

Later, the Lord of Red Pine City inspected the motorcycle team, and even sent off and welcomed the motorcycle team back at the East Gate. The Trial Tower is also at the East Gate.

Even if Chu Fei ran away to the Lan family this time, he went out from the East City Gate and then headed south.

Therefore, in Hongsong City, Chu Fei was most familiar with the East Gate. As for the north and south directions, Chu Fei had never been there. He had been to the West Gate once, when the Cangyun City delegation was being welcomed, and Chu Fei went to watch the excitement.

When we arrived at the direction of the South City Gate, we saw Zheng Chengan floating in the air from a distance.

But when he first came to the direction of the South Gate, Chu Fei saw death. Under Zheng Chengan, there was a small family, and at this time, desperate screams came one after another.

This small family was divided into two parts by an invisible dividing line: the inside could not get out, and the outside could not get in.

The inner circle was about 100 meters in diameter, and the people inside screamed in despair. They wanted to run out, but were intercepted by an invisible existence.

There were people outside kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, begging Zheng Chengan who was in the air; however, Zheng Chengan didn't even seem to look at these people!
Chu Fei came near Zheng Chengan and looked down. In Chu Fei's perception, he could "see" two blurry shadows shuttling back and forth, and the people in this small family fell one by one.

Chu Fei also "saw" that with Zheng Chengan as the center, an inverted, almost completely transparent "bowl" was formed, covering the core area of ​​the small family below.

Obviously, this is a kind of application of life energy, or protective qi, and it already has some of the flavor of "immortal magic".

Also, Zheng Chengan didn't use wings to float in the air. In contrast, Chu Fei had to use wings to float.

Only by observing closely can you know how powerful the 12.0 peak cultivation is. In front of Zheng Chengan, Chu Fei had a sense of looking up at a mountain - this was not only an insurmountable mountain, but also a comparison of the size of the mountain and the human body.

Compared with a 10.0 expert like me, who is just getting started, and a 12.0 expert at the peak of his skills, it's like the comparison between an ant and an elephant.

However, these thoughts only flashed for a moment before Chu Fei drove them out of his mind. Although Zheng Chengan was good, he was old. It was said that he was over 160 years old, ten times his own age.

If I live to 160, I will definitely find a 16.0 master to play with. Chu Fei activated the Ah Q mental defense...

Zheng Chengan looked at Chu Fei. As an old man, he seemed to know what Chu Fei was thinking at a glance. However, he just smiled and pointed down and said, "There should be two or three ghosts down there. I'm not sure how many there are. Can we kill them?"

Chu Fei smiled bitterly, "Senior, if there is only one, I would still dare to try. This is not an inheritance base where you can have countless chances. This is reality. If you die, you are really dead."

Zheng Chengan nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Then do you have any way to confirm how many ghosts there are down there, and whether they are the same as the ones you saw in the inheritance base?"

Chu Fei used his electromagnetic perception ability, coordinated with Zheng Chengan's perception and the vision of the two, and quickly scanned the circle. He soon found a ghost and pointed out its location.

"One?!" Zheng Chengan was surprised. "How could there be only one? There were two just now! One ran away in the blink of an eye?"

"There should be a secret escape route or something like that. It's normal for a family like this to have a secret escape route or something like that."

Zheng Chengan nodded, a little helpless, "There's only one left, go and try?"

"Okay." Chu Fei agreed immediately and flew down. "But the ghost spirit is too dangerous after all. Please, senior, take over the formation."

"No problem. By the way, the existence of ghosts has not been made public yet, so you can just say that you have discovered a fierce ghost. This is the concept that everyone will be most likely to accept."

Chu Fei nodded and slowly fell down. At the same time, countless ghosts' fighting skills and information flashed through his mind.

First, give your shadow a "projection" and "write" something into it so that the ghosts can't enter. This is one of the means of self-protection.

Then Chu Fei just floated in the air and moved towards the direction of the ghost.

As they moved forward, some survivors screamed, but these survivors were just ordinary people. The outstanding practitioners were already dead. Chu Fei asked these guys to find a place to hide.

There were still some people who had some common sense and asked Chu Fei what this thing was.

"Evil ghost." Chu Fei replied indifferently.

"Don't evil spirits appear at night?"

Chu Fei: "How about I come over in the evening?"

Someone was stunned.

Chu Fei continued to move forward and found that the trapped ghost was so anxious that he didn't even care about killing people, which allowed many people to survive.

When it found Chu Fei flying towards it, the ghost immediately hid in the shadow of a person and followed the person forward. As people gathered, the ghost moved among the shadows of everyone, so that Chu Fei could not lock onto the ghost.

Chu Fei could not see the ghost hidden in the shadows, even with electromagnetic perception. Only when it flashed through the gaps between the shadows could Chu Fei find a trace of it.

Chu Fei was a little speechless and wanted everyone to disperse. Unfortunately, when Chu Fei said there was a "ghost" and that the ghost could hide in the shadows, there was only panic.

Zheng Chengan looked down from a high altitude and found that when the ghost completely disappeared into the shadows, he also lost the ability to track it.

The reason why I lost the ghost before was because of this reason. Ghost, ghost, a soul-like body with various strange abilities!

Facing the ghost, many common sense experiences were useless. Even if Chu Fei had some experience, he could not say that he was sure, and the information Chu Fei had was from thousands of years ago.

After so many years, the ghost could not have remained unchanged! If it weren't for Zheng Chengan's raid, Chu Fei would not have rushed up directly.

Just looking at these people running around, Chu Fei still frowned.

The ghost itself is difficult to kill, and it would be even more difficult if there were a group of messy people providing cover for the ghost. But these people can't be killed, after all, Zheng Chengan is watching over them.

But at this moment, Zheng Chengan's voice suddenly came to Chu Fei's ears: "Everyone in this small family can be killed. It has been found out that these are real Tianlong people."

Chu Fei suddenly realized, and then he felt an indescribable awe in his heart. There were more than 50 people in this "encirclement", and they were abandoned just like that.

But at the same time, Chu Fei also understood Zheng Chengan’s meaning: as long as the evil spirit could be killed, these fifty people would have died for a good cause.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Fei shouted: "Everyone disperse. The evil spirit can hide in everyone's shadow. As long as everyone's shadow is not connected, the evil spirit cannot move.

Based on what we know so far, it seems that evil spirits can only hide in people's shadows. Because humans have spirituality!"

Before Chu Fei finished speaking, everyone screamed and separated.

Zheng Chengan's voice rang in Chu Fei's ears: "Is there any difference between a person's shadow and other shadows?"

"I don't know." Chu Fei responded as a matter of course, and of course he answered through telepathy.

Zheng Chengan: ...

But Chu Fei immediately continued: "But from my experience, ghosts seem to be able to hide only in human shadows. Maybe human shadows are really special.

There is a term called high-dimensional projection. It says that everything in the three-dimensional world is a projection of the higher-dimensional world. Although this statement was later considered wrong, it does make sense.

Human consciousness and soul are extra-dimensional beings, so perhaps human shadows are indeed unique in some way."

In the sky, Zheng Chengan nodded and stopped talking. Chu Fei continued to separate the people and search for the ghost.

"Found it!" Chu Fei rushed towards a person, who was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, not even able to scream - Chu Fei rushed towards him, did this mean that the evil spirit was hiding in his shadow? !
At this moment, the ghost suddenly jumped out from the shadow, but instead of killing the man, it rushed towards Chu Fei.

Perhaps because of Chu Fei's coercion, or perhaps because of Zheng Chengan's obstruction, the evil spirit became fierce.

I only saw the ghost figure flash by, and then it became invisible and disappeared.

But Chu Fei had already locked onto the ghost with his powerful electromagnetic perception, so being invisible was useless. And Chu Fei had already noticed that the ghost did not have the ability to attack from a distance.

At close range, the strong observer effect makes the ghost's invisibility ineffective, and the ghost directly reveals its figure and sprints madly.

The ghost without a physical body accelerated very quickly and approached Chu Fei in the blink of an eye. When Chu Fei wanted to fight back, this guy's figure flashed, and his body turned at two sharp angles. The moving trajectory was like a zigzag lightning, and he swooped into Chu Fei's shadow.

But this time, Guiling miscalculated. Chu Fei's shadow had been "filled" with "data" in advance. Therefore, Guiling was like a bird hitting a transparent glass, and his figure was immediately ejected and flew backwards.

Chu Fei seized the opportunity, and with a flash of his knife, he swept towards the ghost. But this time, Chu Fei did not use the "belief in victory", but just a normal attack.

The knife flashed and the ghost was split open, but it recovered immediately, and it seemed that there was no visible damage.

The ghost took the opportunity to counterattack, but Chu Fei was well prepared. He injected strong faith (mental strength and will) into his defense. The ghost's attack fell on Chu Fei's protective qi. With a clang, the protective qi was split!
The attack of the ghost was a bit illusory, and Chu Fei's body-protecting qi was not real either. However, the collision between the two was like the collision of steel.

Chu Fei didn't have the energy to think about anything mysterious. His protective Qi was actually split apart, and cold sweat broke out. Fortunately, Chu Fei had rich combat experience. He dodged slightly sideways, then kicked out with a kick, which was wrapped in the protective Qi that had been added, and directly kicked the ghost away.

After the ghost was kicked out by Chu Fei, it entered an invisible state in mid-air.

Chu Fei did not pursue, but fell into thought.

Although invisible, Chu Fei's multiple senses, combined with the influence of Zheng Chengan as a "bystander", allowed him to clearly lock onto the target.

After a few brief encounters, Chu Fei discovered the situation of this ghost - because it had no ability to attack from a distance, it was not as difficult to deal with as the ghosts in the inheritance base; but this ghost's means of attack were extraordinary!
"Perhaps, the ghost's long-range attack is a high-level ability. Of course, it is not ruled out that the "watching" of the great master Zheng Chengan seriously affected the performance of the ghost. Also, the means of attack are not ordinary. Sure enough, after thousands of years, the ghost has also evolved." Chu Fei thought for a while, and then moved forward towards the ghost.

When the ghost is invisible, it cannot move, or it relies on inertia to move. In short, it cannot exert any force, otherwise the invisible state will be broken.

However, this kind of invisibility is not good enough under the joint "supervision" of Chu Fei and Zheng Chengan.

So when it saw Chu Fei chasing after it, the ghost spirit did not contact Chu Fei, but moved away again.

The ghost without a physical body was like a ghost during the transfer process. No, it was a ghost. It could accelerate, turn, and make right-angle turns instantly, and run dozens of meters in a blink of an eye.

According to current data calculations, the ghost's teleportation speed can reach 5 to 6 times the speed of sound!
Chu Fei frowned at Gui Ling's method of avoiding fighting. This guy didn't fight, nor did he hunt the remaining ordinary people. He just occasionally used the figures of these ordinary people to hide and escape.

It's stalling for time!

After Chu Fei chased her twice, this thought came to his mind.

However, even if you think of this, it is still difficult to kill the ghost. Even if Chu Fei's movement speed can break the speed of sound, it is still far away from intercepting the ghost.

Chu Fei felt a little regretful. He had a chance just now but didn't kill the ghost. Instead, he wanted to study it or even just do nothing. As a result, the ghost learned his lesson and didn't fight head-on.

Perhaps the brief collision with Chu Fei made Gui Ling aware of the danger.

There was no other way, Chu Fei could only contact Zheng Chengan in the sky and gradually shrink his defense.

Under Chu Fei's guidance, the encirclement became smaller and smaller. But in order to prevent the ghost from leaving, the remaining fifty people also gathered together.

When the encirclement was reduced to more than forty meters, Chu Fei frowned even more deeply.

The encirclement was smaller, with more than fifty people crowded together, and his own movement speed was affected. Instead, the ghost's movement speed became more agile, and his figure jumped back and forth among the shadows of more than fifty people!

Just when Chu Fei was at a loss, Zheng Chengan's cold voice fell: "Don't hesitate, kill everyone! You must kill this ghost! Anyway, everyone here is a Tianlong, and no one is innocent."

Chu Fei was silent for a moment, then slowly looked up at the five survivors, or should we say surviving Celestial Dragons, and his eyes became cold.

Then looking outside the defense, there were still many people kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Zheng Chengan in the sky.

Chu Fei's expression was somewhat serious and conflicted - killing someone in front of so many people was not a good idea.

It’s not that Chu Fei is being too sanctimonious, but shouldn’t murder be done secretly?

How about killing everyone and eradicating the entire clan?

And why didn't you, Zheng Cheng'an, take action, but asked me to do it? I haven't officially become an inspector yet, do I have to show my loyalty?

However, thinking about how powerful Zheng Chengan was, Chu Fei finally had to make up his mind and prepare to take action. After all, you said that these people are all Tianlong people.

But at this moment, the ghost suddenly jumped out from the shadows, swept past a dozen people in an instant, devoured their souls, and then its figure became blurry.

Chu Fei suddenly thought of something, but before Chu Fei could attack, he saw a faint water light fluctuation around the ghost figure, and then it disappeared!
The ghost left! Just left out of thin air!
At this moment, Chu Fei thought of a characteristic of the ghost: it is unknowable. The perception range of the ghost is about one hundred kilometers.

If someone within a hundred kilometers says the ghost's "real name" or remembers the ghost's detailed appearance, the ghost will appear in front of this person, but the price is that this person will die and his soul will disappear.

Obviously, someone had just sacrificed himself to assist in the transfer of the evil spirit.

However, Chu Fei thought of more: the rest of Gui Ling's companions had probably begun to recruit traitors and establish their own organization.

Ghosts are intelligent life forms, completely different from alien species!
As for why some people would rather die in exchange for the transfer of the evil spirit, perhaps it is because they are threatening the lives of their entire family!
