The sun finally set completely.
The entire Tianmeng Mountain was plunged into darkness.
"Zhou Hong, don't turn on the light." Just as Zhou Hong was about to switch on the room light, Liu Zhen Feixu quickly stopped him.
"Why? Isn't it scarier in the dark without lights?"
"If you turn on the light, won't it make us more obvious? The ghosts didn't know we were here, but turning on the light is like telling them there's someone in this room?"
Zhou Hong was speechless and had no choice but to refrain from turning on the light.
What Zhou Hong didn't know was that at this moment, at the foot of Tianmeng Mountain, a car had arrived. This was a special vehicle of the Six Doors. Seated in the car were two experts from the Six Doors, and in addition, a white-bearded old Taoist priest.
"Daoist Tianhong, in your opinion, what kind of evil spirit is causing the hauntings on Tianmeng Mountain?" one of the Six Doors experts asked.
The old man with the white beard pondered for a moment and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions. Let this old Taoist ascend the mountain to investigate first."
"Daoist, are there really ghosts in the world?" The other Six Doors expert suddenly asked.
"All things in the world have two sides, a front and a back. The front is Yang, and the back is Yin. My Maoshan sect has been fighting against Yin demons and ghosts for thousands of years. Although I don't know much about the Yin world, I can at least confirm that the world we live in is not just the part that can be seen with our eyes."
"Daoist Tianhong, if there are really ghosts on Tianmeng Mountain, then what should be done?"
"I have extremely Yang artifacts here. Even if the ghosts are powerful, they cannot cause any trouble in our Yang realm." The old Taoist looked confident. This old Taoist was Daoist Tianhong, a highly skilled practitioner from Maoshan.
"Daoist Tianhong, I heard that you can project your soul out of your body. Is that true?" one of the Six Doors experts asked in disbelief.
"Heh heh, to project one's soul out of the body requires extremely profound cultivation. I have cultivated for fifty years to barely achieve soul projection. However, my cultivation is not deep enough. If my soul were to leave my body, I would instantly enter the Yin realm. At that time, my soul in the Yin realm, upon slight contact with a ghost, would be annihilated. Just as ghosts coming to our Yang realm are easily annihilated by us."
"It seems that the Maoshan sect has delved too deeply into this area. I am truly impressed."
"Alright, the car can stop here. I will go up the mountain alone. You should leave as soon as possible."
"Daoist, you must be careful. We will come back to pick you up at dawn."
"Good." After speaking, the white-bearded old man turned and walked up the mountain alone.
The two experts from the Six Doors dared not follow. Although they were experts in martial arts, they were helpless when it came to Yin entities like ghosts.
At this moment, Zhou Hong was unaware that the Six Doors had found an old Taoist priest from the Maoshan sect. He and Liu Zhen Feixu were still in the room.
However, Zhou Hong was itching to go out and see what was happening, but he was worried that Liu Zhen Feixu would be too afraid to stay alone in the room.
Just then, outside the window of the room where Zhou Hong and the others were staying, a shadow flashed by. The shadow seemed to emit a red light, making it very conspicuous.
"Zhou Hong, did you see that?"
"I saw it. I'm going to take a look." Zhou Hong wanted to chase after it.
"Don't! I'm scared to be alone." Liu Zhen Feixu quickly grabbed Zhou Hong, preventing him from going out.
Zhou Hong was helpless. He had never met such a timid woman.
Liu Zhen Feixu was also filled with admiration. Seeing ghosts and still daring to go out and chase them, she really didn't know what Zhou Hong's courage was made of.
Zhou Hong propped himself on the window and looked out through the glass.
Just then, Zhou Hong saw a woman in red standing faintly on the mountainside outside.
"Zhou Hong, what did you see?" Liu Zhen Feixu asked.
"I saw a woman in red standing on the mountain."
"Ah, is that true?"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, come and see."
Liu Zhen Feixu quickly leaned over and looked outside. Indeed, in the darkness of the night, a woman in red was standing on the mountain peak. However, because she had her back to Zhou Hong, her face could not be seen.
At this moment, the woman in red seemed to sense that someone was watching her and immediately turned her gaze towards Zhou Hong's direction.
Zhou Hong saw the face of the woman in red and was startled, because the face of the woman in red was exactly the same as Liu Zhen Feixu's. Su Dan Novel Network
Zhou Hong rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he was not mistaken. The woman in red on the mountain peak had a face that was truly identical to Liu Zhen Feixu's.
"Feixu, did you see? That woman in red looks exactly like you." Zhou Hong quickly turned to look at Liu Zhen Feixu behind him. However, Liu Zhen Feixu, who had been standing behind him and looking outside with him just moments ago, had now disappeared.
"Where did she go? Did she hide under the covers again?" Zhou Hong gave a wry smile. She was too timid.
Zhou Hong continued to look outside.
At this moment, the woman in red on the mountain peak suddenly shouted, "Zhou Hong, save me!"
"This must be an illusion," Zhou Hong thought to himself. He ignored the woman in red on the mountain peak, no matter how loudly she screamed. Such a small trick couldn't fool him.
However, the fact that this woman in red could create an illusion for him indicated that the ghosts in this mountain were extraordinary.
"Liu Zhen Feixu, did you hear the woman in red on the mountain peak shouting? She even asked me to save her. Isn't that ridiculous?" Zhou Hong looked back towards the bed.
However, he heard no response from Liu Zhen Feixu.
"Liu Zhen Feixu? Why aren't you speaking?" Zhou Hong immediately rushed over, turned on the room light, and lifted the covers.
He saw Liu Zhen Feixu lying on the bed, motionless, her face ashen, clearly having breathed her last and turned into a corpse.
"Damn it!" Zhou Hong exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing that Liu Zhen Feixu was dead. She had been a living person just moments ago.
"How is this possible?" Zhou Hong was stunned.
Zhou Hong checked and found that Liu Zhen Feixu had likely not been dead for more than a few minutes. As for the cause of her death, it was obvious: her soul was gone.
Zhou Hong was also shocked. The spectral entities of this mountain had, right under his nose, without a sound, siphoned away Liu Zhen Feixu's soul, leaving only a corpse.
"Zhou Hong, save me. Why is this happening? I was clearly in the room, why did I suddenly appear here? I'm so scared." At this moment, the woman in red on the mountain peak began to cry. Listening to her words, she sounded exactly like Liu Zhen Feixu. It was then that Zhou Hong realized that this woman in red was actually Liu Zhen Feixu's soul. She herself didn't know that her soul had left her body and thought she had inexplicably appeared on the mountain peak.
Without further ado, Zhou Hong immediately opened the door, rushed out, and sped towards the mountain peak.
