Chapter 25 Is He Back?

Even a level-five evil ghost, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should have been eliminated.

As Yuan Muye finished speaking, he noticed that both Chief Chen and Li Yuan were staring blankly at him.

"Captain Yuan, has your strength improved too quickly? Have you already reached the Jushen realm?"

"What Jushen realm? No, no..."

Yuan Muye had no idea how the cultivation realms in this world were divided. His progress to this point was almost entirely due to the system's help.

At this moment, Yuan Muye walked towards the frozen level-five evil ghost.

Looking at the huge evil ghost encased in ice, he couldn't help but feel a bit dazed. He hadn't expected his strength to be so formidable.

Without delay, he raised his hand and tapped on the ice.

Instantly, the frozen evil ghost shattered into ice fragments.

The Yin energy dissipated in an instant.

However, as the Yin energy dissipated, Yuan Muye suddenly felt an even stronger Yin energy, as if it were spreading and about to crush him.

The direction of this Yin energy was from that temple.

The temple appeared somewhat dilapidated, but its overall area was still quite large.

Judging from the state of the dilapidated temple, one could imagine its appearance when it wasn't in ruins.

It must have been very prosperous, with flourishing incense offerings.

Now that the Yin energy was so heavy, who knew what kind of transformation had occurred within.

In fact, Yuan Muye was filled with curiosity about everything that was happening. The world had suddenly become a place overrun with evil ghosts.

Why had the evil ghosts, originally under the jurisdiction of the Diyu (the underworld), suddenly lost their restraints?

And where had the Diyu, which was supposed to be managing the situation, gone?

Yuan Muye remembered that when he was first reborn, the system had notified him that he had become a Junior Land God.

Later, by completing some tasks, he became an Intermediate Land God.

He remembered the system's notification at the time that as long as he completed some more tasks and became a Senior Land God, he would be able to connect with the Diyu.

Perhaps he could then see what the Diyu was really like?

Could it be that the Diyu was also declining?

Yuan Muye pondered these trivial matters.

But his gaze remained fixed on the temple, without any distraction.

Li Yuan watched as Yuan Muye effortlessly eliminated the level-five evil ghost.

He suddenly realized that his previous bickering with Yuan Muye was completely meaningless.

Yuan Muye's strength was so great that he was simply a weakling compared to him.

Moreover, a level-five evil ghost that even his chief couldn't handle had been so easily eliminated by Yuan Muye.

It seemed that the gap between him and Yuan Muye was not small at all.

Regaining his composure, Yuan Muye walked up to Chief Chen and said, "Chief, now that the level-five evil ghost has been eliminated, our mission is considered complete, right?"

"Of course, it's complete," Chief Chen said with a smile.

"But now we don't know the situation with the other teams. I wonder if they need our support?" Chief Chen suddenly said.

Whether they needed support or not, Yuan Muye didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

"Chief, let's leave here first."

The presence in this temple gave Yuan Muye a sense of unease and danger.

"Fatty, Yajie, let's go."

After Yuan Muye finished speaking, he didn't want to linger here, lest he attract unnecessary trouble.

Li Pangpang and Wang Yajie quickly snapped out of their daze upon hearing Yuan Muye's call, and they both walked over. The three of them began to leave the place.

Seeing Yuan Muye's eagerness to leave, Chief Chen couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, thinking that this place was a relatively dangerous one.

He also gave the order, "Everyone, follow me."

The group packed up and left the area.

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed from within the temple, "Is he back?"

"Is he back?"

The voice echoed, but few people heard it.

However, Yuan Muye suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the temple.

Seeing Yuan Muye turn around, Li Pangpang couldn't help but ask, "Lao Yuan, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, I wasn't looking at anything."

But just then, a voice suddenly sounded in Yuan Muye's mind, "Did you hear that voice just now too?"

It was Yuan Xiaoyao speaking. Yuan Muye was stunned for a few seconds.

He had indeed heard a voice just now.

However, Yuan Muye didn't answer Yuan Xiaoyao. Instead, he said to Li Pangpang and Wang Yajie, "Didn't you guys hear any strange sounds just now?"

The two of them paused for a moment and said, "What sound? No, we didn't."

They both looked at Yuan Muye with blank expressions.

"It's nothing," Yuan Muye said casually.

After walking a few steps, he turned back again, looking at the dilapidated temple.

Perhaps there was a secret hidden inside?

But even if there was a secret hidden inside, it wasn't something Yuan Muye could uncover in his current state.

Compared to the Yin energy that had emanated from it earlier, Yuan Muye still felt a strong sense of oppression.

Once he left the vicinity of the temple, Yuan Muye immediately felt much lighter.

Gently exhaling a breath of stale air, Yuan Muye adjusted his mindset.

...

Meanwhile, Liu Quanzhen and Zhao Tian were hiding in a corner.

Both of them were wearing masks, but the surprise in their eyes couldn't be hidden.

They both looked shocked. At that moment, Liu Quanzhen said, "What's up with this kid? I'm finding it harder and harder to understand him."

Zhao Tian was already a man of few words, and he simply responded softly, "Mm."

But the turmoil in his heart was like a storm raging within.

"Never mind him. Let's hurry up and find Wang Zhengyang. According to reliable sources, he's already come in," Zhao Tian suddenly said.

"Alright," Liu Quanzhen agreed.

Their main purpose for coming here this time, of course, was to kill Wang Zhengyang.

The two of them quickly moved into position and spotted Wang Zhengyang on a pavilion.

Wang Zhengyang was sitting on the pavilion, with a shadow beside him, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"What do we do if he has someone with him?" Zhao Tian suddenly asked.

Liu Quanzhen said in a low voice, "Let's wait and see."

About five minutes passed, but Wang Zhengyang still showed no sign of moving.

After a while, Zhao Tian seemed to have finally run out of patience and said, "I'll go lure the person away."

Liu Quanzhen glanced at Zhao Tian, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Alright."

Zhao Tian acted quickly, launching a swift attack on the person next to Wang Zhengyang.

The person's reaction was also quite fast, and he exchanged blows with Zhao Tian.

Zhao Tian basically made one move and then quickly changed positions without stopping.

The person next to Wang Zhengyang indeed gave chase.

Wang Zhengyang, however, stood in place and cursed, "Kill him for me! I want to see him alive or dead!"
