Martial God Asura

Chapter 6205: Haunted?

Elder Liu sensed Chu Feng’s gaze and explained with a smile, “There is a ghost inside.”

“A ghost?” Chu Feng was perplexed. 

‘Ghost’ was a term more commonly used by mortals, but it often referred to a cultivator’s soul. Elder Liu, as a Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist, should be aware of that. It was perplexing that he would use the term ‘ghost’ here. 

“Brother Chu Feng, Elder Liu isn’t joking with you. This place is haunted.” Xianhai Shaoyu walked over and wrapped his arm around Chu Feng’s shoulders. “You can ask my parents and grandfather if you don’t believe it.”

“Well…” Xianhai Shaoyu’s parents smiled. 

Xianhai Shaoyu’s grandfather, on the other hand, looked a little awkward. Upon meeting Chu Feng’s gaze, he flashed a mischievous smile and said, “Grandson-in-law, you should put more talismans on. Someone with your talent is bound to meet with the ghost.”

“Grandfather, you’re talking nonsense again!” Little Fishy harrumphed.

“There are no outsiders here anyway. My grandson-in-law is worthy of you, and he has just saved our clansmen’s lives. Shouldn’t you marry him to repay the debt our Immortal Sea Fish Clan owes him?” Little Fishy’s grandfather teased.

“Grandfather, you…” Little Fishy’s face turned red. Powerless to retort, she directed pleading eyes at her parents. “Look at what grandfather is doing! Stop him!”

But Little Fishy’s parents merely smiled.

Little Fishy’s grandfather guffawed. “You think the two of them dare to stop me?”

In truth, Little Fishy’s parents currently had a very high opinion of Chu Feng. Not only did they witness Chu Feng destroying the God Clansmen despite being only at rank one True God level, but they had also seen him destroy the terrifying God Mother with a black sword. 

Only the foolish Jie Tianran would continue to make light of Chu Feng. 

“What’s going on?” Chu Feng asked. 

Those present quickly shared the details with Chu Feng.

The cultivation resources here had to be refined first before they could be assimilated, and they couldn’t be moved to another location either. 

However, there was a steep cost to refining the cultivation resources. Most powers couldn’t shoulder the cost even if they discovered this place. Doing so burned a hole even through the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s deep pockets. 

There was no age limit to assimilating the cultivation resources, which was why many Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s experts, including Little Fishy’s parents and grandfather, had cultivated here. 

But even after the cultivation resources were refined, there remained a bizarre quality to them. There were cases where people were transported to a peculiar realm, where they came face to face with a female ghost. 

After analyzing the cases, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan realized that those who encountered the female ghost were their top prodigies. 

So far, only a handful of people had met the female ghost.

Little Fishy’s parents encountered the female ghost each time they cultivated here, but Little Fishy’s grandfather had never met her, which suggested that his talent might be inadequate. That was also why he looked a little awkward. 

It was also for the same reason he was certain Chu Feng would encounter the female ghost.

“Did you all meet the same female ghost?” Chu Feng asked Little Fishy’s parents.

“Mmhm.” Little Fishy’s parents nodded. 

“The same ghost…” Chu Feng was intrigued. He turned to Xianhai Shaoyu and asked, “What does the female ghost look like?”

“I don’t know. It’s my first time here,” Xianhai Shaoyu replied.

“It’s your first time here?” Chu Feng was surprised to hear that. 

“You see, there are different ways to refine the cultivation resources here. Elder Liu came up with a special refinement method that maximizes a junior’s cultivation efficiency. So, we decided to reserve the cultivation resources here for our juniors. It has been decades since we last came here,” the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief answered the question. 

Chu Feng didn’t expect the Immortal Sea Fish Clan to have been preparing this place for decades.

“What does the female ghost look like?” Chu Feng asked once more.

“She has blurry features, making her face hard to distinguish. What’s more frightening about her is her eerie disposition. I can’t put it in words well, but it’s bad enough to affect your cultivation. However, you have nothing to worry about. The talisman papers work. We have never met the female ghost again since we started plastering on the talisman papers,” the Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s Clan Chief replied. 

Xianhai Shaoyu burst into laughter. “I don’t intend to use the talisman paper. I’m going to meet the female ghost.”

He turned to Chu Feng and asked, “Brother Chu Feng, why don’t you give it a try too since you’re so curious?”

“Sure. I’m interested in meeting the female ghost too. A tragedy may have happened here, and the buildup of malice gave rise to a vicious ghost. Perhaps the female ghost is seeking someone to redress her grievances. 

“It’s also possible that the female ghost is looking to siphon a man’s soul to take him as her husband. Brother Shaoyu, you have to be careful. Female ghosts are particularly into guys like you,” Chu Feng said as he patted Xianhai Shaoyu’s shoulder. 

“Stop pulling my leg, Brother Chu Feng. You must have read too many novels to even think of such a thing,” Xianhai Shaoyu retorted with a smile, though his smile looked a little stiff. 

“I’m not pulling your leg. The world is large enough for anything to be possible. There could be a ghost in there. I have heard many stories. Some encountered a ghost and had their yang energy siphoned to death. Some suffer from nightmares every night till they are scared to death. And there is no lack of formidable cultivators and world spiritists among these people! Many mysteries in this world can’t be explained by common sense,” Chu Feng said grimly. 

Xianhai Shaoyu’s expression further stiffened. “Brother Chu Feng, stop scaring me. Are you saying that ghosts truly exist?” 

By this point, his excitement had already eroded to fluster. 

“What’s wrong, brother? Your face looks pale. Are you afraid?” Little Fishy snickered.

“Afraid? Me? How’s that possible? I’m just intrigued by Brother Chu Feng’s words.” Xianhai Shaoyu awkwardly scratched his head. 

He didn’t believe in ghosts, which was why he dared say those words. But Chu Feng’s words planted a seed of doubt in him, making him wonder if ghosts truly existed. That, in turn, made him panic. 

Chu Feng had accomplished so many unbelievable feats that his words carried weight, no matter how much they defied common sense. 

Xianhai Shaoyu was so flustered that he didn’t notice Chu Feng’s mischievous smile.

Chu Feng was indeed teasing him. He, too, didn’t believe in ghosts.
