My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Chapter 376: City Attack by Deviant Ghosts

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tang Han walked the two out of the city and proceeded all the way towards the north. Yes, walking! He said at first that his house was just at the edge of the city, but once they started walking, they walked for almost one hour, and went right into a thick forest. The other party showed no intention to stop.

“My house is right inside this forest and not far away. We’ll reach within an hour.” Tang Han smiled very naturally and said.

Yi Qing: “...”

Shen Ying, “...”

The two’s footsteps stiffened. Shen Ying who had never had such a long walk except that time opening the plane, suddenly had an urge to press the pastry in her hand onto his face.

He said it was NEAR!

“Master...” Yi Qing seemed to understand her thoughts. He took a step forward and squatted down in front of her. “Let me carry you!”

“Oh.” Shen Ying put away the pastry in her hand and leaned over on Chef’s back very naturally.

Yi Qing stiffened for a moment. The heat source which suddenly touched his back became a wave a warmth which seemed to flow into the bottom of his heart. He paused for a short while before standing up steadily and walked towards Tang Han in front of them.

Tang Han looked at this strange master-disciple pair and somehow felt that something was wrong, but he didn’t know what. He didn’t pay much attention to it, but continued on leading the way, while starting to introduce the situation of that city to Yi Qing.

Only then did the two learn from him the situation of this small world. Just like they had guessed, spirit qi here was thin, such that there wasn’t the saying of immortal cultivation at all. Neither was there any cultivation sect. There were only Mystic cultivators who cultivated in Mystic Taoist methods. While they also used spirit qi for cultivation, what Mystic cultivators knew were only shallow sorceries to dispel evil and avoid harm. They didn’t seek immortality like immortal cultivators.

Only then did Yi Qing understand why he brought the two to walk instead of directly riding on the sword. He can’t ride a sword in the first place. Examining the cultivation on him, he was indeed only at the starting level of Qi Refinement.

All that these Mystic cultivators did on ordinary days were chasing away ghosts and sealing off demons, taking the security of an area as their responsibility, without any thoughts about Immortal Ascension. Besides, what they mainly dealt with were the deviant ghosts that he mentioned just now.

Tang Han said deviant ghosts, unlike normal ghosts, had a killing nature. The stronger deviant ghosts could even devour souls, and they liked to eat living humans most. And the Qing He County just now tens of thousands massacred by deviant ghosts in a night due to an invasion of deviant ghosts. No living person was left in the whole city. After that, the Mystic sect sent dozens of Taoists who worked together to kill of those deviant ghosts. And that was why it became a ghost city.

“The ghost aura was too strong inside that city.” Tang Han sighed and shook his head. “The Mystic Clans and Taoist Sect came up with many methods but none could cleanse the ghosts from the city. So they could only block this area.” He led the two towards a hut in the woods and asked them to sit down before continuing, “My cultivation is low, and Tang Clan sent me to guard this place to prevent mortals from entering in case they get hurt.”

Yi Qing placed a dish of pastries and a cup of tea on the table in front of Shen Ying out of habit before turning to ask, “Fellow Daoist Tang, besides the deviant ghosts’ massacre, has there been any other big happenings in the city?”

Tang Han thought about it and shook his head. “I’ve never heard of any. Why is Fellow Daoist asking?”

Yi Qing frowned. It doesn’t make sense. If it was only a massacre by deviant ghosts, why only Song Ren had such an immense grievous energy? He turned to look at Song Ren, who followed them all the way. “Has Fellow Daoist seen this ghost?”

“Ghost?” Tang Han was stunned. He looked in the direction in which he pointed, but his eyes did not focus. He seemed to suddenly remember something. “Fellow Daoist means that some ghost followed us out of the city!”

His expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. He turned to take a peach wood sword from the drawer beside him, produced a seal and shouted loudly, “Bold evil ghost, you still want to harm humans. Why don’t you show yourself quickly! Heaven and Earth are black and yellow, ghosts and spirits not to be born, leave!”

With that said, he directly stabbed the sword towards... the cupboard beside Song Ren.

A hole was made on the door of the cupboard.

Shen Ying, “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

Song Ren, “...”

After the stabbing, he let out a long breath and looked all around, before saying to Yi Qing, “Fellow Daoist, is the ghost that followed back dead?”

You must be kidding me!

(๑ົ̅ˊ̱ˋ̱ົ̅๑)

No wonder he did not give Song Ren a single look from the beginning. He couldn’t see him at all! How low was that cultivation?

Yi Qing’s mouth twitched. He bent a finger to point at the center of his eyebrows, directing the spirit qi within him to concentrate in his eyes.

Only then did Tang Han see Song Ren, and the peace wood sword in his hand tightened. “There’s a ghost indeed!”

Yi Qing hurried to stop him. “Wait a minute. This ghost is a bit special and different from those ghosts in the city. That’s why we brought him with us.”

“Special?” Tang Han was stunned, and then he remembered something and the look of understanding came to his face. “Can he be the messenger ghost that you both took? Your sorcery is deep indeed that you can even command evil ghosts. Sorry, I’ve not been polite enough!”

Yi Qing, “...”

He touched his own eyes and excitement flashed on his face. “May I know what sorcery that Fellow Daoist used just now, that it can actually help me see the ghost without any external objects?”

Yi Qing felt speechless. External objects are needed for seeing ghosts?

“I mobilized the spirit qi in your body.”

Tang Han was stunned for a moment, before opening his eyes wide abruptly. “Fellow Daoist has... helped me open the Heavenly Eye!” He suddenly felt a great excitement, and the look he gave Yi Qing was so bright that it seemed to glimmer. A great superior indeed! No wonder he could cleanse the whole ghost city.

What the hell was opening Heavenly Eye?

Yi Qing felt the immense communication difficulties from not being in the same cultivation system. He hurried to change the subject. “May I know what sect is the Mystic Daoists that Fellow Daoist mentioned?”

“Mystic Daoists is not a sect.” Tang Han smiled. He became even more certain that the two came from a great clan that hid from the world, or why would they not even know what Mystic Daoists is? “Mystic Daoists is an organization started jointly by great clans of Mystic cultivators. It exists mostly for killing deviant ghosts and protecting the orthodox of the world. It is formed by the best of Mystic cultivators from every Clan. All of them are Mystic cultivator masters of the third level and above.

So it’s a place like an immortal alliance.

Tang Han’s look was full of admiration. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and said with some excitement, “Oh yeah! With the cultivation of you two, if you want to join the Mystic Daoists, there must not be a problem.” He was only unsure what level of Mystic cultivation masters they were.

“Where is the Mystic Daoists?” Yi Qing continued.

“Right in Longxing City.” Tang Han gave the two a look. “You two have solved the matter of Qing He County, which made a great achievement. If you indeed have the intention of joining the Mystic Daoists, I can produce a letter of recommendation.”

Something went across Yi Qing’s eyes. He didn’t explain but said, “We’ll trouble Fellow Daoist then.”

“Don’t be too courteous, Fellow Daoist Yi. You’ve done a great kindness in solving the Qing He ghost city. This is little work on my side! It’s meant to be!” With that said, he walked directly to an inner room, took out calligraphy brush and ink, and started writing.

In a short while the recommendation letter was finished and handed to Yi Qing.

“It is the closest city from here. It is several kilometers away, and the way is rather complex. Maybe I’ll bring you both...”

“That’s not necessary!”

Before he finished, the master and disciple spoke together. Walk any further and their legs would break!

“...”

Why did he feel looked down upon?
