Chapter 460 Small Town

Pei Yun nodded, and the five of them began to look around the wooden bridge carefully, but until sunset, they did not find anything unusual about the bridge.

The sky gradually darkened until night fell. Pei Yun and his four companions wanted to find a hidden place to rest for the night, but they did not expect that the bridge had changed.

A water curtain-like barrier appeared in the middle of the wooden bridge, and a faint red light emanated from the surface of the barrier, as if it was a passage to another world.

The five people looked at each other, and finally, led by Duanmu Xu, they all walked into the barrier together...

As soon as they entered the barrier, the originally empty and dark surroundings suddenly became brightly lit. The five people looked at the noisy street in front of them, the people coming and going on both sides of the streets hung with lanterns, and the laughter and ethereal sound of piano coming from the tall buildings not far away. They were all stunned for a moment.

But the group soon realized that the people in this town were not human, but ghosts, and they all carried some resentment.

"Are we...into the ghost market?" Bai Chengming asked uncertainly.

"Why are there so many resentful souls here?" Duanmu Xu's expression became serious.

Pei Yun's divine sense had already explored the town once, and said: "There is no one in the whole town except us..."

At this time, the barrier passage behind the five people had disappeared. Xu Moshuang said, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. Let's go into the town first to see what's going on."

The five of them all agreed with her proposal, but as soon as they left the wooden bridge and stepped into the street, the resentful spirits closest to them sensed their presence. They all turned their heads towards them, their eyes glowing red, revealing their undisguised greed:

"It's a living soul! I haven't felt such a wonderful taste in a long time!"

"Not good!" The five people felt a little creepy under the gaze of these wronged souls. Ling Ziyan closed the spirit fan in his hand and said, "Run away quickly."

Before he finished speaking, these resentful souls rushed towards Pei Yun and his group at an extremely fast speed. Of course, the five of them were not pushovers either, and each of them used their own steps to escape in one direction...

Wherever the five people went, the aura of living souls they left behind attracted a large number of resentful souls. The densely packed resentful souls gathered behind them, chasing after them...

"What should we do? The barrier has disappeared. How can we escape?"

"How could there be such a strange place on this Qiankun Dao treasure map? Isn't this a holy place for treasure hunting?" Ling Ziyan couldn't help but complain.

Pei Yun's spiritual sense was the most powerful among the five people. She led the other four people to constantly change direction and escape towards a place with fewer people. However, as time passed, there were more and more resentful souls behind them, and they were about to be completely surrounded.

The next moment, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out in the distance. Pei Yun's heart moved and he said, "Go there!"

The five people immediately flew towards the source of the red light. After a while, they found that these resentful spirits seemed to be afraid of the red light. When they entered the range of the red light, the resentful spirits no longer chased them, but stared at Pei Yun and the other four unwillingly, and finally could only disperse.

Pei Yun and his companions breathed a sigh of relief and had time to look around. They saw a huge ginkgo tree in front of them, and the ground was covered with yellow ginkgo leaves. A woman in red with loose hair was sitting under the tree, looking up at them.

Pei Yun and his four companions discovered that the woman in front of them was also a ghost, but her strength seemed to be much stronger, and the resentful souls in the entire town did not dare to approach her.

The woman was charming, and her every frown and smile was full of charm. She smiled at Pei Yun and the other four and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen a soul come to my place..."

"My name is Duanmu Xu. My companion and I accidentally broke in here. Could you tell me the way out?" Duanmu Xu stepped forward and saluted.

At this time, the five people no longer had any expectations for treasures and only wanted to leave this strange place.

The woman stroked her long black hair that fell on her shoulders and said, "If you want to leave here, you must first help me find my husband. As long as you find my husband and bring him here, I will promise to teleport you out..."

This request was beyond the expectations of the five people present. Ling Ziyan frowned and asked, "Miss, can't you find your own husband? You can't find him, let alone us..."

"He is in this town, but he is hiding among these resentful souls and I can't find him." The woman said with a rather resentful tone.

Pei Yun said: "We are outsiders, living souls. Once we step out of this land, we will be tracked by the resentful souls outside and will not be able to help you find your husband..."

"That's fine. I can put a seal on you. As long as you are willing to help me find my husband, this seal can seal your soul within twelve hours. But if you don't find my husband within twelve hours, you will stay here forever. Even if you have the power to destroy all the resentful souls in this town, you can't escape from here..."

The woman said threateningly with a smile, "What about outsiders?"

The five of them discussed for a while, and Duanmu Xu said, "We agree."

The woman said, "Stretch out your hands." Seeing the five people stretching out their hands, she cast a sealing spell on the palm of each of them.

"From now on, within twelve hours, you can search the town freely. Let's start." The woman made a gesture of invitation.

Pei Yun and the other four turned around and left the ginkgo tree. Xu Moshuang secretly transmitted a message: "With the strength of the five of us, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this girl. Why don't we just do it? As long as we kill her, we can go back..."

Bai Chengming shook his head: "Although this woman is a vengeful spirit, we have not seen through her strength. This may be an illusion created by her. And... I am very curious. Pei Daoyou's pet sensed that there is a treasure here. What exactly is this treasure?"

"Also... this woman's request is also very strange. She asked us to help her find her husband. There must be something unspeakable going on here." Ling Ziyan also started to analyze.

Pei Yun said: "This woman should not be human. I have been to the demon world before. Although she hid very deeply, I still smelled a demonic aura."

The four of them were shocked when they heard her words, and they all fell into deep thought for a moment. After a moment, Duanmu Xu said, "We only have twelve hours to crack the secret of this town. Why don't we split up and use the communication talisman to inform everyone if we find any clues."

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and Pei Yun chose a direction where no one else was going...

With the sealing talisman in her hand, the resentful spirits around her no longer paid attention to her and only treated her as one of their own kind.

There is a long river in this town, which divides the town into two parts. On one side is a bustling market with shops and restaurants, and on the other side are the alleys where the townspeople live. Pei Yun walked in the alleys to explore.

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the other side of the river, it is much quieter here. Many courtyards have their doors closed, and the sound of dogs barking can be heard from time to time, which makes the place seem a bit eerie in the dark and lonely alley.

At this time, Pei Yun saw three middle-aged women gathered at a corner not far from him. This seemed to be the back door of the courtyard, which was exactly opposite the two courtyards. Under the dim light, the faces of the three resentful spirits looked a little weird.

"...Have you heard? The beautiful lady from Mr. Zhang's family has been favored by the eldest young master of the Wu Mansion. This is going to be a good show to watch!"
