I didn't care whether the bride was wearing my clothes or not. I pulled the flatbed cart towards Liantian Bridge and said, "Help me watch my step. Tell me if there are any gaps so the cart doesn't fall."

My eyes couldn't see, but my ears could hear, and I could feel the flow of yin energy around me.

Ghosts were coming up from under Liantian Bridge.

The Huangjin Lishi (Yellow Turban Warriors) had smashed many gaps in Liantian Bridge. With my eyes unable to see, I couldn't fight ghosts on this kind of ground. I could only walk forward step by step.

I hadn't taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a rustling sound, like countless rats swarming towards me from behind.

Zhao Yuezhu screamed, "Li Po! There are hungry ghosts behind you, hungry ghosts!"

I immediately reacted. The hungry ghosts Zhao Yuezhu was talking about weren't ordinary starving ghosts, but a type of ghost that dominated the Hungry Ghost Realm.

These hungry ghosts were only the size of a normal person's finger, with small heads and large bellies, and thin, bony limbs.

If these hungry ghosts appeared alone, even a sorcerer wouldn't need to take action. An ordinary person with strong blood energy could slap them to death.

However, hungry ghosts always appeared in droves, even covering the sky and earth. A hungry ghost horde was like a locust plague, an ant colony sweeping everything away, leaving nothing but barren land within a hundred meters in a short time.

Anyone caught by hungry ghosts would be devoured, leaving not even bone fragments behind.

Sorcerers also dreaded encountering hungry ghosts. Most people chose to turn and run, as fast as they could!

But could I run now?

As I smiled wryly, explosion-like sounds erupted behind me, and bone-chilling yin energy suddenly swept past the soles of my feet.

The spirit talisman I had placed on the cart was working. With the protection of the spirit talisman, the hungry ghosts couldn't climb onto the cart.

"Rise!" I roared, raising my hands behind me and driving the two Soul-Chasing Ropes into the cart's planks. As the dragon head buckles on the Soul-Chasing Ropes tightened, I pulled the ropes and strode forward.

Zhao Yuezhu exclaimed, "Your feet!"

"My feet are fine, my bones aren't broken!" Having walked this far, I was sure my bones were fine. The reason I couldn't stand just now was just because the pain from the recent injury hadn't subsided. Now, my legs wouldn't delay me.

Just a few seconds later, I felt a sharp pain in my arms and shoulders, as if they were being torn by teeth. I gritted my teeth and stepped forward.

After walking a short distance, I said, "I'll pull you as far as I can. If we're lucky, I can take you across Liantian Bridge."

"Once we're across the bridge, we'll be out of the hungry ghosts' range, and you'll be safe."

After saying just a few words, I felt streams of blood flowing down my body.

Before the warm droplets of blood could reach my waist, they were licked into countless tiny mouths.

I had been using my true qi to protect myself, and we had cultivated body-refining techniques, so the hungry ghosts couldn't tear through my skin and enter my stomach to devour my internal organs for the time being.

It was just a little skin injury for now. Once the hungry ghosts had eaten all my skin, I would really have to find a place to wait for death.

Zhao Yuezhu cried as she said, "Li Po! Aren't you a sorcerer? Run! Run quickly! Come back and save me when it's light."

I laughed and said, "Little girl, have you been watching too many dramas? Shouldn't you be shouting, 'Go away, don't worry about me!'"

Zhao Yuezhu cried even louder, "What time is it? You're still joking! Run!"

"You're a sorcerer, sorcerers should be cold-blooded and ruthless, they should be selfish. Why aren't you running? Run!"

"I'm not a very cold sorcerer!" After making a joke, I said, "I don't know what you've been through to have such a prejudice against sorcerers."

"But, I can tell you this. Sorcerers have the ability to walk between yin and yang, and to draw their swords and slay ghosts. They will kill people and seize wealth. But, in the end, sorcerers are still people."

"People! There must be good and bad, right and wrong. You don't even hate people, do you?"

My voice sank, "I, Li Po, am a disciple taught by Jiangyang bandits. I'm definitely not a good person. You haven't seen me kill people, I don't even blink when I strike."

"But, this bad guy also has his principles. One of them is that as long as the client doesn't cross my bottom line, I'll do my best to complete the deal. That's a sorcerer's honor, you understand?"

"Little girl, if I have the chance in the future, I'll tell you about the martial world and explain some principles. But now, it's probably not possible."

Zhao Yuezhu sobbed, "Li Po, don't talk anymore, run! I don't blame you, I really don't blame you."

I laughed, "Actually! It's not bad to have a beauty crying for you when you die! When people see it, they'll think: 'Wow, this guy is dead, and there's a beautiful woman crying her heart out for him!'"

"Then I'll have a lot of face lying in the coffin! Maybe I can even laugh a little!"

"Hey! Look, I'm enjoying this treatment in advance. Cry a little more."
