Lu Yang lit torches in the dark cave.

But the torch was extinguished by a gust of cold wind as soon as it was lit.

"Something's not right!"

Lu Yang frowned as he looked at the extinguished torch. Could it be a demon's lair? Why does it look so gloomy?

Whoosh!

Just then, a dark shadow flashed past Lu Yang, making him feel a chill down his spine and his hair stand on end.

"Good heavens, it's haunted!"

Lu Yang also became interested. The ghost's aura wasn't strong, probably not even as strong as Lin Chuang's, who had just become a ghost. So there was nothing to worry about.

This is a world of cultivation, teeming with demons and monsters. For many cultivators, these are the resources they need for their cultivation.

With the Thousand Soul Banner in hand, Lu Yang prepared to give this ghost a new home.

Even with the three outside, the number of ghosts in the Thousand Soul Banner is still less than fifty. The goal of reaching the Thousand Souls threshold is still a long way off, and it urgently needs to be replenished.

Whoosh!

Lu Yang was unprepared before, but now that this ghost dares to linger in front of him, how can he let it go?

He unfurled the Thousand Soul Banner in his hand; after all, it was a top-grade magic weapon, how could a mere imp be able to defeat it?

Before the little devil could pass by again, he was caught inside the Thousand Soul Banner.

"Ah! A ghost!"

Ah!

What the hell is that noise!

After retrieving the little ghost, Lu Yang slowly withdrew from the cave. This little ghost actually had intelligence and could speak, which meant there was still information to be obtained.

Since that's the case, there's no rush to explore the cave. This cave doesn't look that simple. Let's try to gather some information first, so we don't fall into a trap.

Outside the cave.

Lu Yang unfurled the Thousand Soul Banner, and the little ghost he had just taken in was surrounded by a group of ghosts within the banner, trembling in fear.

You know what, he really is a little devil!

These ghosts, generally, retain the same appearance they had in life as they died. The little ghost that Lu Yang just collected actually looked like a six or seven-year-old boy.

It was plump and round, but unfortunately it had a ghostly aura that made it repulsive.

"Kid, tell me, how did you get into this cave?"

Ah!

Upon seeing Lu Yang, the little devil burst into tears as if seeing a close relative.

"Brother, it's a ghost! Quick, save me!"

To be honest, Lu Yang couldn't see the slightest trace of acting on his face.

"You're a ghost yourself, so why are you afraid of ghosts!"

It should be noted that this little devil possesses an aura equivalent to the third level of Qi Refining, making him one of the top-tier ghosts among the Thousand Soul Banner's creatures.

Apart from Lin Chuang, who was just taken in, there are almost no ghosts to compare with.

The result was quite the opposite; ghosts are afraid of ghosts!

"Yeah, I'm a ghost too. Hmph, you all get out of my way."

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, the little ghost suddenly realized, "That's right, it's a ghost too. Since we're all ghosts, what's there to be afraid of?"

With this thought, the little devil's courage immediately grew.

However, although it seemed to be quite imposing, it was clearly all bark and no bite. Most importantly, the ghosts within the Thousand Soul Banner were all under Lu Yang's control. Not to mention this little ghost, even if some fierce ghost appeared, without Lu Yang's command, these ghosts would not dare to retreat.

"Oh no, they're not afraid of me, what do I do, what do I do?"

Seeing the little devil's appearance, Lu Yang couldn't help but shake his head. "Tell me, how did you end up in this cave?"

Cave dwelling!

The little devil looked confused. "You mean here? I don't know either. I feel like I've always been here."

It's always been here!

So they died inside?

"Do you know what else is inside?"

This time, the kid nodded quite frequently, "I know, I know, it's all empty inside, just a skeleton, nothing else."

It's just a skeleton!

Lu Yang's gaze fell on the kid, a broad smile on his face. "Kid, are you sure?"

The little devil nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. If it were anyone else, Lu Yang might have believed him. But given the condition of that cave, the little devil said there was nothing there.

You're kidding me!

With a wave of his hand, dozens of ghosts instantly pounced on the little ghost. The little ghost panicked immediately, crying out, "Hey, make them stop! I'm going to die!"

Under Lu Yang's control, dozens of ghosts began to steal the little ghost's ghost energy bit by bit. The little ghost's ghost body was gradually becoming thinner and thinner. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the ghost body disappeared.

So here's the question: what does a ghost become when it dies?

"Big brother, please save me, I don't want to die!"

"Please, please."

……

Lu Yang watched the little devil throw a tantrum, rolling around and acting cute, his eyes filled with cold indifference. Suddenly, the little devil's ghostly eyes met Lu Yang's, and a surge of ghostly energy erupted from within him.

boom!

Supported by this ghostly energy, the little devil's aura actually rose from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage.

"Hmph, what a ruthless brat. He looks young, but he's vicious and cruel to children."

At this moment, Lu Yang no longer saw the chubby, cute little devil; he had clearly seen an old devil disguised as a little devil.

Lu Yang maintained his Qi Refining Level 4 cultivation and squinted at the old ghost. Luckily, he acted quickly and directly unleashed his Qi Refining Level 4 cultivation. Otherwise, this guy might have actually broken through the Thousand Soul Banner.

"Hmph, a brat is one thing, but if you're an old ghost pretending to be young, that's a different story. Tell me, what are you up to? Why are you rushing to run into my Thousand Soul Banner? Have you had enough of living?"

A ghost at the mid-stage of Qi Refining would still pose some threat to Lu Yang if it were in that cave. He didn't know why this old ghost was so foolish as to run into his Thousand Soul Banner.

However, as soon as Lu Yang said this, Old Ghost immediately became anxious.

"You're talking nonsense! Who would run into your soul banner? If you didn't want me, would I have been able to get in? You junior, your cultivation technique is quite righteous, but your heart is extremely vicious. You actually carry such a wicked magic weapon with you. You're simply not human. If you have the guts, let me out, and we'll try again."

Old Ghost was indeed furious. The cave's grand formation suddenly disappeared, and Old Ghost was overjoyed. He wanted to go out, but before he could even float to the cave entrance, he saw Lu Yang enter.

Feeling Lu Yang's spiritual energy, the old ghost's saliva immediately started flowing.

With such spiritual energy, whether you absorb it or let it reside within you, it would be a wonderful thing.

After thinking it over, the old ghost decided that it was better to remain in a host body. With the subsequent cultivation techniques, he might still be able to successfully possess another body. For an ordinary ghost that has been separated from its body for a hundred years, it would be impossible to possess another body again.

But he is different. There is Yin Soul Wood inside the cave. After he goes out, he can nurture it and combine it with his cultivation technique. He still has a chance of success.

Thinking of this, the old ghost immediately prepared to take refuge, but as soon as he got close, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and was so frightened that he quickly retreated.

Upon closer inspection, he was just a minor cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. Judging from his bone age, he was only a little over ten years old and was probably inexperienced in the ways of the world. I probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger; just a little fright would be enough to destabilize his soul and allow him to take over.

"It must be because I've been locked up for so long that my senses are playing tricks on me," the old ghost thought, and prepared to approach again to take a look.

Who would have thought that this young cultivator had already sensed him, and before he could get close, a large banner was rolled over.

The old ghost was shocked and immediately tried to unleash his ghostly power to resist, but before he could do so, the Thousand Soul Banner activated and directly suppressed him within the banner.

He spends his days hunting eagles, yet today he was pecked in the eye by one. The main problem is Lu Yang's appearance; it's just too deceptive. Who would have thought that this righteous and naive man would possess such a demonic artifact?

That bastard pretending to be weak while actually being strong is truly despicable.

Since Lu Yang has already made a mistake, he will make a big one. You should know that his ghost body is still in the form of a little ghost. Even if Lu Yang has a demonic artifact, he should still have some compassion.

Who would have thought that this little cultivator was completely black inside and out? Not only was he not bewitched, but he also allowed dozens of ghosts to devour him.

This is truly despicable! Who exactly is the demonic one?

There was no other way but to expose his ghostly power. However, just as he was about to unleash his ghostly power and break through the Thousand Soul Banner, he was directly suppressed by a powerful force.

This cunning and treacherous little cultivator has actually hidden his cultivation level; he's definitely a demonic cultivator.
