Chapter 163: Ghost Realm
The scene shifts, and when Chen Lan opens his eyes again, he has arrived at an utterly unfamiliar place.
It's shrouded in fog, with nothing visible around, not a single sound.
Just as Chen Lan was about to use his Divine Sense to see where he was, a bell rang out.
"Ring ring ring~"
Chen Lan looked in the direction of the bell sound; there was still a foggy area, but an orange ghostly flame appeared, swaying in the wind, moving towards him.
"Living beings, do not proceed; dead ones, retreat!" A peculiar voice sounded, hoarse as if it was stuck on a thousand-year-old phlegm.
Living beings, do not proceed; dead ones, retreat?
This is rather interesting.
Soon after, Chen Lan clearly saw what it was: an orange flame, but with human facial features, resembling a human head, slowly floating over while intermittently shouting as if warning the surroundings.
"Hmm?" The ghost flame stopped, looking at Chen Lan with an inquisitive gaze, sniffing its nose and suddenly widening its eyes in surprise: "Human, you're a human, yet another human has arrived."
After speaking, it specifically looked around, confirming no one else was present, and then showed a human-like lewd expression: "Hehehe, no one's here, so I will enjoy this feast alone."
In its view, Chen Lan appeared red, which meant his Yang energy was exceedingly abundant, so abundant that one drop of blood could instantly fill the flame.
If it absorbed him completely, it would definitely become the strongest Ghost Emperor in this Yin Realm!
In an instant, the ghost flame lunged forward suddenly, intending to consume Chen Lan.
"Perfect timing." Seeing this, Chen Lan grinned.
Just wondering where to learn about this world, and now a creature came voluntarily. Do a Soul Search, and know everything.
"Human, I will make your death painless." The ghost flame scoffed as it lunged.
But the next moment, it saw a big hand come forth, suddenly capturing it immobile.
"You're special; you actually have Foundation Establishment Realm."
"You're not an ordinary human!" The ghost flame was caught, utterly horrified; this was a cultivator!
"Who told you I'm ordinary." Chen Lan said with a faint smile, his eyes glowing purple, a powerful Soul Dao Power instantly ravaging the ghost flame.
"Terrifying Soul Attack Technique!" Witnessing this human wielding such means, the ghost flame was completely hopeless.
In no time, it gradually turned to ash, dissipating into the world.
It was originally a soul; being subjected to Soul Search was unbearable, instantly turning to dust.
"So, this is the Yin Realm, also known as Ghost Realm." Chen Lan processed the memories in his mind and understood where he was.
The Yin Ghost Realm can be called Yin Realm or Ghost Realm, it's a world where ghosts reside.
However, a portion of humans exists here too, those who accidentally fell into this world. Ghosts call them runaway food, and they also hunt ghosts, exchanging them with the Ghost Hunting Association for funds or food.
Unthinkably, this world of ghosts can actually have a ghost hunting organization; it's laughable to talk about.
Yet, ghost creatures can do nothing about this association because it has an Immortal Emperor, just as Ghost Realm has a Ghost Emperor. Both are of the same realm, but no one dares to make the first move.
Thus, ghosts hunt humans, and humans hunt ghosts.
Moreover, the time flow here is different from Blue Star; a minute on Blue Star equals a day here.
Which means Yan Yu, having been captured here, has probably been here for at least five days!
Knowing this, Chen Lan couldn't be bothered using Divine Sense to scan the world any longer, better check on Yan Yu instead.
After entering this world, he had sensed Yan Yu's location; she was unharmed, only unconscious.
Thinking of this, he vanished on the spot.
...
Cyan Ghost Tower.
This is the most famous brothel in the Ghost Realm, with many performer ghosts, it's a place beloved by male ghosts and the hardest to leave from.
But today, Cyan Ghost Tower wasn't open to the public; rather, a male ghost had booked the entire place, inviting guests from all sides.
"Congratulations, great king, on taking another concubine today. Truly an occasion worth celebrating!"
"Indeed, the great king is truly fortunate, stumbling upon a beautiful woman just by going out, seemingly destined to unite the two of you."
"Though this beauty is human, her charm is genuinely exquisite; the great king is quite lucky in love."
"Great king, how's the beauty? Have you tried?"
In Cyan Ghost Tower, a fair-faced, elegant and noble male ghost gently fanned himself with a folded fan, his mouth curled upwards in a laugh that seemed to ascend to the heavens.
Around him were various ghosts, speaking among themselves.
Today, it turns out, was the grand day for this male ghost; he was taking a concubine, none other than a human.
He was a renowned ghost king there, of powerful strength with Saint King Realm, respected widely, having taken thousands of concubines, almost taking one every month; it had become routine for the ghosts.
"Hahaha, indeed the beauty is stunning, but regrettably, until now, I haven't even touched her." The male ghost sighed, shaking his head, looking regretful.
Upon hearing this, the ghosts were astonished; this ghost king was notoriously lustful, always eager around beautiful female ghosts; now he claimed he hadn't touched one?
Could he be affected, lacking the energy?
Quite a few male ghosts revealed imperceptible disdain in their gazes.
"Why, great king, do you not fancy her?" a ghost lackey asked.
"Of course not, but I can't act. Her soul is under a strong protective force; mere proximity burns me." The ghost king was troubled; never had he encountered such a thing.
Normally, seeing female ghosts, he would instantly want to taste them, but now, he endured seven days without touching, utterly exasperated.
"But no worries, I already used a Magical Treasure to extract her soul; just wait until tomorrow for the protection to disappear, then I can do as I please." The ghost king smirked lewdly, licking his lips in great wantonness.
"The great king is truly cunning!"
"Impressive, impressive, you have my utmost respect."
While at the highest level of Cyan Ghost Tower, in a dimly lit room, an ethereal translucent soul body lay quietly on the bed.
A black-red candle lit on the table emitted no light but continuously spewed thick black air, slowly infiltrating the soul body, nourishing it, gradually turning it black.
Instantly, Chen Lan appeared out of thin air, frowning at the soul body on the bed; it was none other than Yan Yu.
At this moment, Yan Yu's eyes were closed, showing no sign of awakening.
Yet beside the bed, a set of glaringly red wedding attire was placed.
"Steal my Dao partner, never have they died!"
