Chapter 380: Surrounded by Ghostly Aura

"The real ghost clan…"

Jiang Yun’s question seemed to trigger some memories for Bai Ze, who fell silent and immersed himself in recollections of the past.

Jiang Yun didn’t rush him, but instead crouched down and carefully examined the body of this disciple from Ghostly Samsara Hell.

As a skilled healer who knows a lot about making medicine and curing illnesses, Jiang Yun needed to understand the bodies of different animals. That’s why he had plenty of chances to examine animal bodies in Mang Mountains.

Even though he never came across any human bodies, his grandfather taught him all about how human bodies are built.

Looking back now, Jiang Yun believes that maybe it was because he was the only human in Mang Mountains. Otherwise, his grandfather might have asked him to study human bodies too.

Instead of waiting for Bai Ze to explain what a ghost clan is, Jiang Yun decided to take a look himself. Maybe he could figure out the differences between a ghost clan and human race.

Jiang Yun first removed the other person’s black ghost mask, revealing the face of a young man who looked quite handsome, but with an unusual pale complexion.

After carefully inspecting the body of the person claiming to be from the ghost clan using his special sense, Jiang Yun didn’t find anything strange inside.

"Everything seems normal with your body, and I don’t see any ghostly aura Bai Ze talked about."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yun suddenly remembered something he overlooked.

"Life fire!"

Jiang Yun’s divine sense directly rushed towards the opponent’s life fire.

Sure enough, upon the almost extinguishing life fire of the opponent, Jiang Yun finally saw several strands of black gas as thin as a hair.

These black gas and the opponent’s life fire were tightly entwined, inseparable.

Even when Jiang Yun’s divine sense swept past, these black gas seemed to respond, trembling slightly.

Obviously, these black gas should be the ghostly energy that Bai Ze mentioned, and the reaction of the ghostly energy also surprised Jiang Yun a little.

"This person’s life fire is so weak, in theory, it should be on its last legs, close to dying, but it still seems lively. Perhaps it’s these ghostly energies at work!"

"The reason why he thought he wouldn’t be killed may also be due to trusting these ghostly energies too much!"

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun raised his hand and shot out two Spirit Qi, directly entering the opponent’s body, reaching the location of the life fire, hoping to seize a strand of ghostly energy.

However, as soon as Jiang Yun’s Spirit Qi appeared, all of these black gas instantaneously drilled into the life fire, disappearing without a trace.

"Pretty interesting!"

Jiang Yun frowned slightly, surprised to find that the ghostly aura seemed to have some level of consciousness, knowing how to evade.

If he had just scanned this place with his divine sense earlier and the ghostly aura had hidden within the life fire, he still wouldn’t have noticed anything.

This further piqued his interest!

"*Buzz!*"

A crack appeared on Jiang Yun’s forehead, shooting out a strand of his own life fire and transforming into a human form.

Just then, the man with the ghostly face opened his eyes, waking up and locking eyes with Jiang Yun’s scrutinizing gaze.

Although he couldn’t see Jiang Yun’s life fire, recalling Jiang Yun’s earlier words about wanting to study his speech, made his already pale complexion almost translucent. With a trembling voice, he asked, "What… what do you want to do?"

"Don’t be nervous, just examining your life fire!"

Jiang Yun pointed his human-shaped life fire towards the other person, causing their already flickering fire to weaken even more.

"Ah! What have you done? Why do I feel like I’m dying!"

The man suddenly let out a panicked scream.

Although he couldn’t see the life fire, the weakening of his own life fire naturally made him feel his life slipping away.

Ignoring his cries, Jiang Yun transformed his life fire into a human form, reaching out two fingers directly into the other person’s life fire.

At that moment, the hidden black ghostly energy immediately appeared and rushed towards Jiang Yun’s fingers with eagerness.

The sensation was like a cat catching a whiff of fish!

"Ah, what have you done? Spare me, spare me!"

As the ghostly energy within the life fire diminished, the man’s breath grew weaker and weaker.

Under the shadow of death, he lost his previous arrogance and finally begged for mercy.

This further proved Jiang Yun’s earlier guess.

The reason why the other party could still be lively in such a weak Life Fire situation was because of these evil spirits at work.

Moreover, these evil spirits clearly liked vigorous Life Fire, so after sensing their own Life Fire, they immediately surged towards it.

Although letting evil spirits invade Life Fire was definitely not a good thing, Jiang Yun hesitated no more and let those few evil spirits drill into his thread of Life Fire.

"What are you doing!"

Bai Ze’s startled cry suddenly sounded, and only then did he snap out of his memories, just in time to notice Jiang Yun’s actions.

"You are truly reckless, do not take that strand of Life Fire back into your body, once invaded by evil spirits, you will end up like him, turning into a ghost slave!"

However, Jiang Yun was completely unmoved.

After quietly feeling the ghostly breath hovering over his life fire, he left a trace of ghostly aura for the ghost-faced man.

Then, his strand of life fire carried the remaining ghostly aura, instantly returning back into his body and merging completely with his life fire.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Yun’s mind suddenly heard countless strange sounds.

Each sound was filled with feelings of sadness, pain, terror, and despair, deeply shaking Jiang Yun’s soul.

Even his life fire, stimulated by these sounds, began to weaken gradually.

At the same time, somewhere in this world, a disciple of the Grand Medicine Sect widened his eyes to the extreme, watching an elderly man slowly withdraw his hand from his body, showing a look of unwillingness.

Initially, he thought the ghost was easy to deal with, but unexpectedly, he ended up dying at the hands of the ghost.

The ghost had a large, blood-red lump on its head, currently extending its tongue to lick the fresh blood dripping from its fingers, saying, "The taste of blood is good!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect trembled heavily and asked, "You, can you speak?"

This is simply impossible, he has already killed dozens of dark spirits, knowing that dark spirits do not have consciousness, let alone speak.

The old man grinned at him and said, "Who told you I am a dark spirit…"

As he was speaking, the old man suddenly turned his head, looked in a certain direction, and licked away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his still extended tongue.

"Such a lively life!"

"I never expected that here, someone could detect my ghostly aura, but you dared to merge my ghostly aura into your own life fire, it’s truly foolish…"

However, at that moment, his eyes suddenly emitted two dazzling cold lights.

After a slight tremble, his body even became ethereally transparent.

The disciple of the Grand Medicine Sect also widened his eyes, watching the old man in front of him who had become transparent, and trembled violently once again.

"Boom!"

The illusionary body exploded, turning into a sky full of gray and black mist.

Following that, the black mist crazily surged and gathered together. In an instant, it reformed into a black human figure.

Wearing all black clothes, with a white ghost face mask on the face!
