Chapter 66 – Five Ghosts and A Coffin
Under the hazy sky, a group of dark shadows flew past the clouds.
When they came a little closer, Ye Chen was finally able to see their real forms.
There were five ghosts holding a coffin, flying in the endless dark night. A normal person would have fainted upon witnessing this, imagining that they were there to take his soul and drag him to the deepest parts of hell. However, Ye Chen was a martial artist, who would even take on life and death challenges for his training. How could he be afraid of such trivial things?
He felt that the five human figures were not ghosts, but rather warriors who had trained some kind of special martial art, that allowed them to travel without an actual form.
“Clasping Yuan Realm warriors! They must be Clasping Yuan Realm warriors!” Also, from their odd Qi vibrations, he realized that their cultivation level should probably be higher than the Sky Cloud Martial School headmaster’s, maybe just slightly lower than Luo Xinglie’s cultivation level.” Ye Chen’s soul power was extremely powerful, he could just take a glance at someone and get an idea of their cultivation level. If he was unable to find it that way, he made a rough estimation by comparing their Qi vibrations with that of the people he met prior to them. That was why he chose to try and sense those white hazy figures’ cultivation levels by comparing them to people he met, as he was unable to directly see through their cultivation.
Ye Chen felt a cold sweat emerge down his back. He could not help but wondered ‘What the hell is in that coffin? A human? Or just a corpse? No way, five Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors carrying a mere corpse? Are you joking? There’s only one explanation left, there should probably be a human in that coffin, a warrior whose cultivation is not any lower than the Clasping Yuan Realm.
An Astral Reaching Realm warrior!
Ye Chen licked his dried lips, he didn’t dare to move an inch. The Astral Reaching Realm warriors in the Windy Nation had been inactive for a long time. The strongest warriors known would certainly be the leaders of the five martial institutions. The leaders of the Emerald Martial Palace, the North Snow Martial Academy, the Purple Sun Martial Palace, the Rudra Martial School and the Sky Cloud Martial School, were all at the peak of Clasping Yuan Realm and were known to be extremely strong. They rarely faced opponents that could rival their strength. But, that was only under the condition that those Astral Reaching Realm warriors remained inactive, otherwise even they would be powerless.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the entire sky. Those five figures continued flying in front of the dark clouds while emitting a terrifying aura. As their white robes flew behind them due to the wind, they looked just like ghosts, or rather like reapers.
After they flickered across the sky, the five ghosts and the coffin completely disappeared in the distance, leaving only the dark clouds behind them, seemingly unreal.
Ye Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead, while still a little scared.
“Young warrior, what are you still doing outside? Your room is ready.” the man said to Ye Chen through the window, as he was already inside the house.
“Alright.”
After taking care of the dark brown horse, Ye Chen turned to leave.
The guest room was not big, there was a bed, a table and a chair in the room; there was also an oil lamp hung to the wall. The shining orange colored light it emitted, barely brightened the room.
“You take a good rest. Call for me if you need anything, I will definitely fulfill your wishes.” The man stood by the door, while unable to hide his joy. He was still thinking of the five silvers! It was not expensive to live in the Yellow Stone Village. Five silvers is enough for his family to live very well for three months, instead of just barely surviving.
Ye Chen thought about it and said: “It might rain later tonight. You go find some people and build a shed for my horse. Here are ten silvers, give it to those who are willing to work.”
Finished speaking, Ye Chen handed over another two pieces of silvers.
“Okay, okay, I will go ask them. Only fools would not be willing to do it.” The man’s eyes were shining like diamonds, he took the silvers with great respect.
