265: Chapter 269 Mysterious Town

"Let me first help her understand Karma."

Soon.

Lu Chen appeared at the place where Qiao Wei was.

Earlier, she had already sent him her location.

Qiao Wei was passing by a small town.

Lu Chen appeared before the town.

He found that this town looked eerily shrouded in Yin Qi.

Although it was only afternoon.

the town was completely deserted.

Only a few small stalls that hadn't been packed up in time could be seen.

scattered about.

And the eyes of those stall owners were filled with fear and unease.

Soon.

Qiao Wei came before him.

She bowed respectfully and said.

"Master."

Lu Chen nodded to her.

Then he asked.

"What happened in this town? Why does it feel like a ghost town?"

Qiao Wei replied.

"Yes, Master. Earlier, when I passed through here, I sensed an extremely dense concentration of Yin Qi."

"But now that aura has completely disappeared. I don't know if some Ghostly Entity is causing trouble."

Lu Chen nodded.

Qiao Wei was also a Ghostly Entity.

So she was naturally very sensitive to that kind of Yin Qi.

Lu Chen's gaze swept across the entire town.

However, he didn't sense anything unusual.

Only faint traces of ghostly Qi remained.

This meant a Ghostly Entity had indeed been here before.

And that Ghostly Entity had already left.

Otherwise.

it would have been utterly unable to conceal its aura in front of him.

"Let's go ask them."

Lu Chen said.

pointing at those stalls.

Qiao Wei nodded.

Soon.

the two approached a stall.

He asked.

"Old man, give us two sweet potatoes."

The stall owner was an old man in his sixties.

Seeing them, he couldn't help but ask.

"Are you two newcomers?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"Then you should leave quickly. Go now while you still can."

As the old man spoke.

his face was filled with terror.

Lu Chen immediately became interested.

In his previous life, he was also an ordinary person.

Perhaps in this life, he was a bit stronger.

Ahem, ahem.

Perhaps much stronger.

But it hadn't been that long since that time.

He knew the feelings of ordinary people.

So what caused this old man to look so terrified?

He asked in a calm tone.

"Old sir, can you tell me what exactly happened in this town? Why do I feel something is strange here?"

Hearing this,

the old man's face turned even paler.

He urged them.

"Don't ask. You two should leave immediately."

Then he quickly packed up his stall.

and hurried away.

He didn't even take money from Lu Chen.

Lu Chen turned to look at Qiao Wei.

and said,

"Go, follow him. If any sudden situation occurs that you can't handle, notify me immediately."

Qiao Wei bowed to Lu Chen.

then followed behind the old man.

Lu Chen stood there.

pondering what might have happened here.

There was ghostly Qi.

but it was very faint.

Furthermore,

this aura was unfamiliar.

It wasn't like the aura on Qiao Wei.

"Hmm, alright. I'll stay here tonight to find out the specifics. Let me see just what manner of being you are."

Lu Chen began to stroll around the streets.

Occasionally, he would encounter a few people.

But their behavior also seemed very strange.

They seemed to be talking to themselves.

But Lu Chen could clearly hear what they were saying.

As if they were whispering directly into his ear.

"Seems another unlucky soul has arrived."

one of them said.

"That's for the best. We can live one more night without worrying about being eaten."

"True. But that young man is so handsome, it's really a pity."

Hearing this,

Lu Chen's interest grew even stronger.

He realized,

being here actually excited him more than his previous battles with demonic creatures.

He couldn't help but look forward to nightfall.

wondering what thrilling things would happen.

He remembered watching many movies of this genre in his previous life—Ghostly Entities, Death Gods, aliens, or other things taking over a town.

Then people would fall into prolonged terror.

He also recalled a plot from one movie.

It was about a village plunged into darkness.

For a month, there was no light of day.

A Ghostly Entity infiltrated that village.

and began a bloody massacre.

Was that what was happening here?

Imagine,

a Ghostly Entity crawling up behind him.

licking its lips.

ready to bite his neck.

But no matter what,

it couldn't touch him.

because his entire body was enveloped within the Chaos Domain.

Without his permission,

nothing could touch him.

He wondered how that Ghostly Entity would react.

Confused?

Utterly baffled?

Hahaha.

Next,

Lu Chen walked almost everywhere in the small town.

Then he came to an inn.

Surprisingly,

this inn was completely different in style from the eerie, Yin Qi-filled environment of the town outside.

There were serving maids.

People were moving about.

Everything seemed perfectly normal.

There was definitely something wrong with this place.

So he activated the Eye of Destruction.

Instantly,

the entire environment changed.

It was all an illusion.

Damn!

"This illusion is so powerful that even my naked eye couldn't see through it? I had to activate the Eye of Destruction?"

"Who is the mastermind behind all this?"

Lu Chen was genuinely curious.

Moreover, Lu Chen could see.

the serving maids in this inn were all Ghostly Entities.

More importantly,

their base power was at least at the level of one stellar force.

Furthermore,

the Yin Qi on these Ghostly Entities was very strange.

—clearly of a higher essence than the power inherent to the Ghostly Entities of this world.
