"Ah!"
Bai Yujing then realized that the other party was speaking to him, but he didn't quite understand the language. After spending a hundred points to exchange for this ancient language that had almost fallen out of use, Bai Yujing finally understood her question.
Bai Yujing roughly understood that this person probably didn't grasp his peculiar situation and thought he was also a member of the divine race, just like the Fairy Clan had once considered Bai Yujing to be a deity.
However, Bai Yujing decided to continue with what she said. After all, the few of them were no match for this Mountain Spirit, let alone this terrifying woman. Bai Yujing immediately replied, "I don't know either, but I do have many differences from ordinary people."
The woman gently sniffed the scent on Bai Yujing. He still had a bandage wrapped around his head, with faint traces of red blood on it. The woman leaned in closer, and Bai Yujing suddenly recalled the scene he had seen earlier in Mountain Ghost Village, where this woman had drained someone to nothing. Could it be that it was his turn this time?
At that moment, Lin Ruoqiao became anxious and raised her gun, shouting, "Let him go!"
Bai Yujing quickly spoke up, using Chinese for the first half and ancient language for the second half: "Don't, don't be impulsive, don't kill her!"
The moment the gun was raised, several Mask Mountain Ghosts kneeling on the ground immediately turned their fierce gazes toward Lin Ruoqiao, making it clear that these creatures were not human but ferocious beasts that preyed on others. The woman didn't even look at them; with a wave of her hand, Lin Ruoqiao was sent flying several meters away, and her gun fell to the ground. Li Hao rushed over anxiously: "Lin Ruoqiao, are you okay?"
Lin Ruoqiao fell to the ground and took a while to get up; however, she wasn't seriously hurt. At that moment, Bai Yujing noticed the woman getting closer to him and even licking his forehead. Bai Yujing instantly felt a chill run down his spine as the woman's eyes brightened, seemingly more certain of Bai Yujing's identity.
"That's right, it's this scent! You opened the entrance? No, it was that traitor who opened it. If you came in with that traitor, you should be on the divine mountain now and not scattered here. Another descendant of the divine race has entered!"
At this moment, they saw the gate of Fallen City slowly opening. The woman seemed to have anticipated this situation; these Mountain Spirits were very familiar with the various strange occurrences in Ancient Mi Kingdom. As she looked at the slowly opening city gate, a row of figures on the city wall that had been closely watching below retracted as if acknowledging that the Mountain Spirit Clan could enter the city.
"Let's go in and take a look; these old geezers are still alive!"
The woman waved her hand, and immediately the Mountain Spirits kneeling on the ground stood up again. Four strong Mountain Spirits lifted the sedan chair, carrying Bai Yujing and the woman inside as they walked inward. Bai Yujing was pulled to the side by the woman, leaning against her thigh. This posture felt utterly shameful; the woman resembled an emperor, while he felt like a favored consort from a television drama.
Bai Yujing's face turned dark. If it weren't for his injuries, he would definitely make those Mountain Spirits pay for this. Li Hao and the others followed behind, entering the city with them. After all, to leave this place and ascend the mountain, they had to pass through this city, which seemed to guard an important passageway to the mountain. As the city gates opened, a group of Mountain Spirits surrounded the woman's sedan chair and walked into the city. Bai Yujing immediately saw a sea of heads in this ancient city; however, these people all looked as if they were cast from the same mold, wearing Vine Armor, their faces obscured and resembling lifeless dolls.
The people in this Fallen City wore strange smiles on their faces. Every household had lights on, shadows flickering inside as they peered out of their windows. The voices and gazes seemed devoid of any human warmth, leaving only strangeness and malice in their eyes. Regardless of what they were in life, at this moment, they could hardly be considered human.
In addition to soldiers and Cavalry clad in Vine Armor, there were many civilians dressed in ancient robes. However, their eyes were just as lifeless as those of other spirits. A multitude of spirits crowded along both sides of the street, layer upon layer, surrounding the Mountain Spirits. Despite so many spirits mingling with the Mountain Spirits, the air was eerily quiet; not a sound could be heard. This oppressive silence heightened everyone's tension, as if a weight was pressing down on their chests.
Li Hao and his companions couldn't help but swallow hard. Even though they had recently encountered countless grand scenes and bizarre situations, being in such a ghostly place made everyone feel uneasy. While not all present were atheists, they had been educated since childhood; this kind of existence and phenomenon that defied scientific explanation was beyond their comprehension.
These spirits had completely lost their nature and memories, leaving only greed and desire behind. Whether it was the living who entered or the Mountain Spirits, they were all incredibly tempting to them. One by one, it seemed they could no longer suppress their instincts and were about to rush forward to devour the hundreds of Mountain Spirits along with Bai Yujing and his companions.
Watching the restless spirits emitting eerie laughter and strange sounds, Bai Yujing recalled the corpses he had seen earlier on the mountain—those who had accidentally wandered into a town in the Ancient Mi Kingdom, ending up dismembered.
Li Hao and his group followed behind the Mountain Spirits, walking among a large crowd of monsters. Outside, countless spirits eyed them hungrily, making them feel weak in their calves as they walked.
"Will we be able to get out alive this time?"
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see how Old Bai remained calm even when that Mountain Spirit boss held him hostage? We need to stay steady too!"
"That woman has taken a liking to Bai Yujing's beauty; she might want to take him back as her consort. Of course he's not worried! As for us, without any backing or connections here, we're definitely doomed!"
"Damn it! Old Bai is so cunning; he even used beauty as a strategy!"
At this moment, Bai Yujing was nervously observing the surroundings, ready to take action at any time, completely unaware that Li Hao and a few others were secretly slandering him.
At this time, the Mountain Spirits walking in front suddenly raised the Azure Lantern, and the Crimson Firelight shone out. Instantly, the light spread out, causing the evil spirits surrounding the road to scream and retreat. Many evil spirits even directly lost their souls due to the illumination. The Mountain Spirits held hundreds of Bronze Lanterns, firmly restraining these restless ghostly beings.
Immediately, those fierce ghosts that had just been extremely menacing scattered or retreated far away, hiding in the dark alleys of the street to observe the incoming outsiders. The street suddenly became spacious as the Mountain Spirits lowered their lanterns and continued forward, marching in an orderly line toward the center of the Ancient Mi Kingdom's capital.
