Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 69 - Ghost Terror

The night in Black Rose City was much colder than some of the places Yao Han's entourage had been to. Uncle Kai said this had already started since some girls disappeared without news.

Night cold does not puncture the skin, but it can make the skin goosebumps and hair sitting up. A distinctive feature of the gripping atmosphere that makes people frightened.

Yao Han took out his supplies. Uncle Kai was also invited to dinner. Uncle Kai was embarrassed, but Yao Han said just think of this food as payment because the three of them were staying at the skinny man's place.

"Since struck by terror, the Mayor began to apply the rules so that all residents shut themselves in the afternoon. At least it can slightly overcome the problem of the disappearance of family members, especially the girls. The rules were tightened when I lost my wife in the afternoon, I was out looking for firewood." Uncle Kai told me a little after dinner.

The Black Rose City was led by a man named Shi Ban. People called him Mayor Shi and had already served for ten years.

Under his leadership, the Black Rose City was much more peaceful and prosperous than before, especially since he was the strongest cultivator in the city. The practice is in the early foundation stage. Then all that changes when the ghost terror and people disappear attack.

Yao Han asked Uncle Kai to rest, while he and the others would discuss. Uncle Kai hesitated a bit to let the three young men move on their own, so offered to come help.

Uncle Kai could only resign because the young man insisted on convincing himself not to worry. If more and more people are involved, fear will even be discovered by the mastermind behind this terror. They plan to move quietly.

Before entering the room and resting, Uncle Kai reminded to be careful especially when wanting to go out of the house to check the condition of the city.

"Are we moving tonight?" Honghao asked as he stared alternately at Shenghao and Yao Han.

"Actually faster is better, but we need preparation. We don't know how strong this terror or ghost has. What do you think, Brother Yao?"

Shenghao turned his gaze to Yao Han who looked pondering. The young man had just finished asking for the opinions of his two teachers.

"Hm... I more or less agree with you. In my estimation, the strength of this evil person is strongest in the Foundation Realm and has been trying to move slowly to scare everyone in this city. If he had already reached the Core Realm or Soul Realm, it would not be difficult for him to make this entire city his ghost army."

Yao Han delivered a sentence like Yutian's analysis. As a person who used to come from a black stream, he understood how ghost-controlling cultivators worked. Yao Han's submission made Shenghao and Honghao nod in agreement.

"You have a point, Brother Yao."

Shenghao then took out two pieces of talisman paper, then attached them to the entrance of Uncle Kai's house and room door. When the talisman was activated, Yao Han felt something warm and invisible envelop Uncle Kai's house.

This talisman is called the Protective Amulet, its function forms a protective layer within a certain area of a building. Ghosts, evil spirits, and the like that were supernatural would not be able to enter into this protector as long as his strength did not exceed the Foundation Realm.

That night, Shenghao was busy making a very powerful Soul Cleaning Amulet to injure and even exterminate evil spirits. With his current abilities, his artificial talisman would function well as long as the enemy did not possess strength exceeding that of the Mortal Foundation.

Yao Han actually did not need any preparation. If the opponent was too troublesome, he would inevitably send the enemy to the Dimension Pagoda and be finished off by his two teachers. Just filling his free time, he chose to continue making talismans that contain the power of lightning. Honghao himself chose to meditate.

In the midst of their activity, the sound of music was heard. This sound is not foreign because it comes from a flute musical instrument. However this time it was not Yao Han who played it.

"Brother Yao, I think there's something that matches the beauty of playing a flute like you" Shenghao chirped. Yao Han chuckled.

The flute's voice was indeed melodious, but Yao Han felt that something was a little unnatural given the situation of Black Rose City being engulfed in ghost terror.

"I went out for a minute to check." Yao Han moved from his seat.

Honghao offered to accompany, but was subtly rejected. Yao Han could take care of himself and just check around Uncle Kai's house. Shenghao handed over a talisman that served as a tracker and had Yao Han put it under the robe he was wearing.

"Oh, what an interesting fetish." Yao Han was amazed.

Shenghao explained that all members of the White Lotus Sect were obliged to put up this talisman. The ones Yao Han wore could be used to track down a person within a hundred meters, while the ones used by the members of the White Lotus Sect could reach hundreds of kilometers.

Yao Han came out and activated the power of his eyes. Besides the residents who are busy with activities in their homes, there is nothing suspicious. The sweet sound of the flute was no longer heard. Yao Han then jumped onto the roof of Uncle Kai's house. His movements were smooth as it used the Heavenly Wind Steps.

The cold night had not had much effect on Yao Han since he had the pure spirit root of the fire element. After looking around once more, Yao Han cross-legged and made a hand spell. Yao Han used one of Feng Xian's wind element magic teachings, namely Fused With the Wind.

This technique is very unique because the user can use the wind as a tracking medium to see the surrounding environment, at a glance similar to the Heavenly Senses. The disadvantage is that the user must be in a stationary position.

Since his eyes in particular could not see for more than a hundred meters, Yao Han used this one magic.

Finishing completing the hand spell movement, Yao Han closed his eyes. At first he felt something wrapped around his left arm. Without opening his eyes, Yao Han instantly knew it was Yutian in the form of a jade snake coming out from the Dimension of Pagoda to accompany him.

Yao Han's 'vision' area slowly surpassed a distance of a hundred meters, then wider again and again. Yao Han checked carefully for nothing to miss, until some time later he felt something flying.

Yao Han's forehead shriveled deeply, this something moved quite fast and further and further until it disappeared somewhere.

"You found something suspicious, Han'er? yutian asked as the student opened his eyes.

Yao Han said his findings and made Yutian cluck softly.

"Not wrong, it must have been his ghost and moved to the ghost controller's hideout. Quickly tell your two friends."
