Chapter 578 Ghosts

Li Musheng studied the blood-red seal in his hand. Inside the carriage, Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran both suddenly looked up and stared at him.

Suddenly, strange phantom shapes began to appear behind Li Musheng. Although these phantoms were only vaguely outlined, they exuded an eerie aura that made people extremely uncomfortable, like evil spirits and ghosts.

These illusory silhouettes, whose true appearances are obscured, seem to be rooted in the void. Their faint gazes seem to pierce through endless distances, all staring intently at Li Musheng with malice.

Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran naturally knew that Li Musheng was studying various martial arts techniques and treasures, and that he would often cause some strange phenomena and special noises.

Although they were already used to this, the inexplicably chilling phantoms appearing around Li Musheng now were somewhat different from before.

The two women felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation and impending death, as if their lives would be completely devoured the moment they got even slightly closer to those illusory figures.

For a moment, the air inside the carriage seemed to freeze. Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran both instinctively stiffened and dared not move. The eerie atmosphere around them made it difficult for them to even breathe.

Just then, Li Musheng finally withdrew his gaze from the blood-red seal in his hand, and then slowly turned his head to look behind him.

In an instant, his gaze met those nascent phantoms that were constantly trying to take shape but remained only as blurry outlines.

Those seemingly malevolent forces, which appeared to come from nowhere, seemed to freeze and solidify in an instant.

At the same time, the look of doubt that had appeared in Li Musheng's eyes as he stared at the nascent phantom gradually cleared, and then he showed a look of sudden realization.

"So the Underworld really exists."

Li Musheng held the blood-red seal containing the sacred law of the Yellow Springs and murmured to himself, but at the same time he slowly shook his head.

While the Yellow Springs do exist, they are different from the Yellow Springs of popular legend!

With this in mind, the true essence of martial arts appeared in Li Musheng's hand, covering the entire blood-red seal.

The next instant, the nascent phantoms that had emerged from behind him seemed to be under unbearable pressure, suddenly twisting and vibrating, and then bursting open into wisps of blurry afterimages that unwillingly dissipated in mid-air.

Only then did Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran, who were standing to the side, finally emerge from the overwhelming fear that came from their bodies, as if they had been rescued from drowning, and began to breathe heavily.

"Your Highness... what were those just now?"

Cang Yinyue's gaze swept over the blood-red seal in Li Musheng's hand, then she looked at Li Musheng with a surprised and uncertain expression and asked.

"Those things are ghosts."

Li Musheng stroked his chin and began to speak, then explained with a thoughtful expression:

"Actually, it wasn't until today that I confirmed through the Yellow Springs Sacred Method that the legendary Yellow Springs really exists."

"And what you just saw must be a ghost living in the underworld."

Upon hearing this, both Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran were stunned. Shen Anran said in disbelief:

"Does Your Highness mean that those vague rumors are true? Could it be that after death, people really go to the so-called Yellow Springs Hell and become vengeful ghosts there?"

However, when faced with Shen Anran's question, Li Musheng shook his head and said:

“Although I can sense that there is indeed a place called the Yellow Springs in this world, I don’t know whether those ‘ghosts’ in the Yellow Springs were originally there or were transformed from people who died and entered the Yellow Springs.” “After all, although I can sense the existence of the Yellow Springs, I can’t find where this place is.”

Upon hearing this, both Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran fell silent.

The so-called underworld or other ancient and illusory legends in the world are actually too far removed from them.

Before meeting Li Musheng, one of them was a secret agent burdened with the hatred of his family, and the other was a member of the martial arts world with a family legacy.

In the past, they wouldn't have cared about these intangible and invisible things, and might never have been able to access the secrets at this level in their entire lives.

But after following Li Musheng, they saw more and more, and began to realize their own insignificance, and that Li Musheng's pursuits were far removed from what they had always wanted to do.

"If there really is such a place as the Yellow Springs, when we die and enter it in the future, Your Highness may be able to find its location and visit us while you're there."

At this moment, Shen Anran slowly raised her head and looked at Li Musheng with a deep expression before speaking.

Cang Yinyue, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly. She and Shen Anran knew that even if they devoted themselves to cultivating martial arts for several lifetimes, they would never be able to reach the level that Li Musheng had reached.

And Li Musheng's future path is destined to be one that they cannot walk alongside him.

At this moment, what they hoped for was that, perhaps a long time from now, Li Musheng would not forget them.

At this moment, Li Musheng was slightly taken aback by the two girls who had suddenly become somewhat sentimental.

He was clearly discussing the world's hidden secrets with the two of them, sharing the joy of discovering the truth of the world.

However, the two of them seemed to have wandered off-topic, clearly straying from the main point.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng stroked his chin, glanced at Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran in front of him, and said:

"I'm not trying to be mean, but even if you two girls really do go to the underworld in the future, they will definitely become the most beautiful female ghosts. Do you think I would be willing to let you go?"

Upon hearing this, the emotions that Cang Yinyue and Shen Anran had just been building up suddenly froze.

Immediately, both of them almost lost their composure, and looked at Li Musheng with extremely complicated expressions.

Just then, a hawk with feathers as black as ink pierced the sky, circled several times above Li Musheng's carriage, and finally swooped down, landing smoothly on the roof of the carriage.

Li Musheng naturally sensed all of this immediately. With a casual grab, the falcon perched on the carriage fell into his hand.

Then, Li Musheng took a sealed letter from the falcon, opened it, and glanced at it.

Then, he turned to look at the carriage behind him, called over the Great Chu King and the Earthly Ancestor, and handed them the letter.

"It seems that something has happened in the Great Chu Dynasty."

Li Musheng spoke slowly, and after reading the contents of the letter, both the Great Chu King Xun and the Earthly Ancestor frowned in disbelief.

The two faced each other, both utterly shocked.

"The Great Chu royal family actually wants to submit to the Great Wu Dynasty? How is that possible!" (End of Chapter)
