The old woman's small eyes were filled with unshed tears.

She really wanted to say, how would I know that a seemingly delicate and weak kid like you would turn out to be such a violent maniac!

She vowed to stay away from people with that kind of appearance in the future.

"Alright, hurry up and talk." Qiao Yu grinned, and the old woman shivered immediately.

"Legend has it that Ghost Mountain is the intersection of the underworld and the mortal realm. There are countless vengeful ghosts there. They cannot be reincarnated, cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, and can only wander on this Ghost Mountain for all eternity."

"The ghost fog on Ghost Mountain is where the vengeful ghosts hide. As long as they smell the aura of the living, they will definitely swarm out and harm people!"

Hearing this, Qiao Yu raised his head and looked at the thick fog on the top of Ghost Mountain.

For a moment, he seemed to really see countless vengeful ghosts shouting.

"Give me back my life!"

"I died so unjustly!"

"The heavens are unfair!"

One miserable and bloody corpse after another struggled before Qiao Yu, dragging their broken limbs and constantly pouncing towards him.

"Qiao Yu! Wake up!" The Mechanical Empress's voice startled Qiao Yu from the illusion!

Qiao Yu suddenly closed his eyes, a trace of fear flashing in his heart. Ghost Mountain could affect his mind even from this distance.

This Ghost Mountain seemed even more terrifying than he had imagined!

"What else do you know? Keep talking!" Qiao Yu questioned the old woman.

"Sir, I really don't know anything else. Please, let me go!" The old woman's face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd shape.

"Oh? Really? Then do you know where the Ghost Eye is?" Qiao Yu asked seemingly casually.

The old woman's face changed instantly upon hearing the words "Ghost Eye"!

"What... what Ghost Eye... is it a ghost's eye?"

"Looks like someone isn't being honest!"

How could Qiao Yu miss the change in the old woman's expression? He took out a two-meter-long golden broadsword from his storage space!

The moment the golden broadsword appeared, a majestic dragon's roar terrified the old woman, turning her face pale.

The crowd watching outside couldn't sit still any longer.

Xiao Tian Ce slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Qiao Yu, who was holding a broadsword in the picture, and shouting at Tang Wumou.

"Wumou, you old fool! You call this a mage? What kind of mage carries a two-meter-long broadsword around?"

"Referee Jin, I want to report the Tang family for cheating!"

Jin Yixiu looked embarrassed and directly looked at Tang Wumou: "Patriarch Tang, please give an explanation."

Before Tang Wumou could speak, Qiao Yu spoke first in the copper mirror image.

He looked at the old woman with a friendly expression.

"Old woman, don't be afraid. I am a pig butcher, so it's reasonable for me to carry a pig-slaughtering knife, right?"

Xiao Tian Ce: "....."

Tang Wumou: "..."

Jin Yixiu: "..."

A two-meter-long pig-slaughtering knife? Are you going to slaughter Zhu Bajie?

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Qiao Yu grinned at the old woman, revealing his pearly white teeth: "Even if you can't remember about the Ghost Eye, I will definitely not use this knife to chop you."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he waved the broadsword in his hand, and for a moment, the air was filled with the sound of the blade whistling.

Old woman: "...I, I seem to suddenly remember again."

"That's right." Qiao Yu directly placed the knife on the old woman's neck: "Speak quickly."

The old woman was trembling all over with fear.

"I, I only know the location of one of the Ghost Eyes!"

"Where?"

"It's on the Ghost Monk's body! As long as you can kill the Ghost Monk, you can get the Ghost Eye!"

"Ghost Monk?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Ghost Monk. He was originally a virtuous monk who vowed to save all the vengeful ghosts on this Ghost Mountain!"

"That day, he bathed and burned incense, wearing a golden kasaya and holding a lapis lazuli Buddhist staff, and resolutely stepped onto Ghost Mountain!"

"For a time, the Ghost Mountain was filled with Buddhist light, transforming into a golden Buddha! As if a true Buddha had descended into the world! But before long, the golden Buddha was swallowed by the ghost fog!"

"Later, when people saw the virtuous monk again, he had already become the Ghost Monk!"

"There is a dilapidated temple on Ghost Mountain, and the Ghost Monk is always there!"

"If you want to deal with the Ghost Monk, you can make your knife more baleful. Baleful aura can restrain the Ghost Monk's yin energy!"

The old woman told everything she knew in one breath. At this moment, she was saying everything she knew without holding anything back. The reason was none other than the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade on her neck being too terrifying.

She vowed that she would never foolishly stay at the entrance of the village and scare people again.

Little did she know that the various families outside had already set their sights on her!

To be innocent but possess a treasure is a crime.

One must know that the appearance of the four Ghost Eyes is completely random.

And as long as they beat up this old woman, they would be able to obtain the whereabouts of one of the Ghost Eyes. This was simply a huge temptation for them.

Many family patriarchs had already recorded Qiao Yu's methods of beating the old woman just now, preparing to imitate them in the future.

The old woman didn't know the miserable life she would face in the future. She looked at Qiao Yu expectantly, hoping that Qiao Yu could let her go.

"Is there anything else you're hiding?" Qiao Yu tilted his head.

"I... I don't think so." The old woman shook her head.

"Okay, thank you. I'll ask you one last question and you can leave."

Qiao Yu's words made the old woman breathe a sigh of relief. She could finally get rid of this madman.

"Do you like sweet zongzi or savory zongzi?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Savor—" The old woman just opened her mouth when she saw the murderous intent suddenly appear on Qiao Yu's face. She quickly changed her words: "Sweet! I like sweet zongzi!"

"Phew!"

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade.

"It's good that you like sweet zongzi. I just like killing people who eat sweet zongzi."

Swish!

The blade flashed, coupled with the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade's enchantment effect of increasing damage to opposite-sex creatures by 20%, the old woman's head was directly chopped off and flew into the air.

The old woman's heart was filled with resentment. Why did Qiao Yu still kill her even after she told him everything?

She was only in her eighties. She just wanted to live. What was wrong with that?

[Detected that player Qiao Yu has resolved an ordinary NPC through close combat. Golden Dragon Crescent Blade's baleful aura value +1.]

Looking at the prompt from the Otherworld System, Qiao Yu was slightly stunned. This time, it didn't provide him with free attribute points, but instead provided him with something called baleful aura value.

Baleful aura value? What is that?

[Baleful Aura Value]: 1/100

Warm reminder: When the baleful aura value is full, the Golden Dragon Crescent Blade can obtain an additional enchantment effect: Demon Slayer.

"Ghost Mountain... there are vengeful ghosts on the mountain... Demon Slayer?"

Qiao Yu muttered. He vaguely felt that this Demon Slayer enchantment effect would definitely be of great help to him when he went to Ghost Mountain.

It seems that killing a hundred people will fill the baleful aura value.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but cast his gloomy gaze towards Tang Aotian and the other two.

The look made Tang Aotian and the other two instantly feel a chill down their spines. The only girl hugged Tang Aotian's arm and was about to cry.

"Brother Aotian, is Qiao Yu possessed by something dirty?"
