Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 554: 554

Although Xue Wei did not know much about this specific area, he could easily guess that there were certain restrictions that made it hard for ghosts such as Mo Lian and the branch leader to enter .

From what Mo Lian said, it was a place that could allow new ghosts to gain strength rapidly, but the risks were imaginable .

Before reaching any conclusions, Xue Wei looked at the two ghosts to explain the details of the area, and after a bit of hesitation, Mo Lian began to explain .

"The area is gruesome, even when compared to the usual cruelty of the Ghost Realm . The regulations make it so that only those who have been within the Ghost Realm for less than fifty years can enter; anyone else will be automatically rejected .

"This also means that it is purely age that determines if one can enter, so the difference in strength among those that live within is very different .

"Some enter as soon as they arrive in the Ghost Realm, but if they are unlucky and encounter someone who is stronger, their energy will be consumed right away .

"It is quite similar to the rest of the Ghost Realm, in that the strongest survive, but due to the smaller size of the area, it is much more common to encounter someone else .

"Also, it is usually only a few ghosts who reach a particular strength within, while the others become prey to the strong .

"Upon realizing the reality of this area, many might try to escape, and while the experts will often let these ghosts inside, they never let them out . "

Xue Wei nodded his head understandingly . He knew that this world was coldblooded, and he was not feeling any aversion due to it; however, even though he accepted that this was the reality for all ghosts, he still feared for his friend, and wondered if he still existed .

Before knowing of the existence of the Ghost Realm, Xue Wei had never considered reuniting with Tie Haolong . For him, death was final, and there was no way to change it .

Now he knew that there was this chance to find out what happened with this friend, to whom he owed so much, so he was not going just to throw it away . He felt that he should at least try his best to locate him, and give him a new chance at life .

Although Xue Wei was now aware of the existence of the Ghost Realm, he knew that this was not a place he could come to often . In fact, he understood that this was likely to be his only possibility to visit, so he did not want to leave with regrets .

Even if he could not find Tie Haolong, at least he would have given it his all in trying to find him .

"We, the branch leader and I, can’t enter the area, so you and Lan will have to depend on each other inside . We will keep looking for your friend in the rest of the Ghost Realm while you are inside .

"It is possible to bring short-range communication devices inside, but they do not have a long reach . We will place a ghost outside the area to receive all your messages and deliver them to us, but it will still be slower than if we are by your side . "

Both Lan and Xue Wei nodded their heads . Truth be told, Xue Wei could not help but glance at Lan with a bit of hesitation . They had arrived in the Ghost Realm for the sake of meeting Mo Lian, but now that they had found her, they had to split up for some time to locate a person Lan did not even know .

Lan looked at Xue Wei’s furrowed brow and could not help but chuckle . How could he not understand his friend’s thoughts?

"It is fine," he said reassuringly . "If I am by your side, there should be no danger in this area, and I also do not fear that Mo Lian will vanish . Even if she does regret her decision of leaving the Ghost Realm with us, then I will respect her choice; the main reason to locate her was to see if she was okay . I wish to give her the best, and let her experience life once more, but I am not in a position to force her to accept my desire . It is her life, and only she can make her own decisions . "

Lan had understood many things, and he was completely sincere while assuring Xue Wei that it would not be a problem to enter this area with him .

The words showed respect and understanding towards Mo Lian, but he was not saying it to get her favor; everyone present could see that after meeting her, he had indeed found an inner peace .

This form for respect was new and foreign to these ghosts, and a strange feeling was bubbling inside Mo Lian’s chest .

She could not understand what kind of relationship she had with Lan before, but currently, she felt that she wished to get to know this person again . When he looked at her, he did not look at the person she was before, but at who she was now . The feeling of being accepted for who she was now was truly making her feel complicated .

Initially, she just wished to make use of his previous affection, but now she felt that she was not able to do so . She truly wanted to see the world of the living with this man by her side .

Xue Wei could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise . Although Lan seemed extremely casual when he said these words, the ghosts were not aware of his personality, but he was .

Lan might have understood certain aspects about his obsession with Li Zhiqing, but he had always been a trickster . Even this unintended confession was actually a sleek way of showing emotions to the woman whom he decided to bring home and marry .
