Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 181 Charge, Disciple!

"This is the first time you've used it to call me!"

From afar, Coral's voice reached Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun's ears. It was that kind of reverberant sound, echoing from all directions, a unique way of communication among the Quanxian tribe.

Bai Chenxue jumped up and down a few times, trying to make herself more noticeable. She waved vigorously at the huge wave and greeted it, "Coral! It's been days! How are you?!"

"Puff-"

With a splash, Coral's figure emerged from the waves. He wore a strangely styled silver-gray metallic armor, and his fishtail transformed into two legs—this time, normal legs encased in metallic armor. Then, he flew towards where Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun were.

"long time no see!"

As she spoke, Coral landed in front of the two of them, and pulled out two wax apples from somewhere, giving one to each of Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun.

Bai Chenxue picked up the wax apple with delight and took a bite: "Wow! Thank you, Coral!"

"Thank you!"

Shen Yun thanked her, and although he felt a little embarrassed, he saw Bai Chenxue eating right in front of him, so he started eating as well.

While eating a wax apple, Bai Chenxue asked curiously, "But Coral, why are you dressed like this?"

Coral seemed to have been waiting for someone to ask, and with an unusually happy expression, she boasted, "These are the clothes that Fellow Daoist Zhu Tu gave me yesterday. They're said to be one of the most famous traditional costumes in the Blue Star Realm. Although they're a bit heavy and not very convenient in the water, they're really beautiful! There's also a helmet and a visor, but Fellow Daoist Zhu Tu said they're not finished yet and he'll give them to me when they're done! How about it! Isn't it beautiful?"

Bai Chenxue looked at the strangely styled silver-gray armor on Shanhu's body and insincerely praised, "Haha, it's quite beautiful!"

Shen Yun seemed quite interested. With envy in his eyes, he reached out and touched the metal decorative nails sticking up on Coral's shoulder. The cold metal still had some water stains on it, giving it a unique feel.

"So cool!"

Seeing the admiration in Shen Yun's eyes, Coral became even happier. He said excitedly, "Right! Fellow Daoist Zhu Tu also told me that this outfit is called 'Kamirai Yida'! Although it's a bit hard to remember, it sounds very imposing! This outfit is made entirely of metal and leather! It's unique in our Quanxian tribe!"

Upon hearing this name, Shen Yun couldn't help but twitch his lips: "A dozen...a dozen cards? Hmm...that sounds pretty impressive..."

Bai Chenxue asked in a private message, "What do you mean?"

Shen Yun replied instantly: "Nothing!"

"What's going on?! So mysterious!"

Coral was unaware of their subtle interaction. With a smile in his eyes, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Is such that,"

Upon hearing Coral's question, Bai Chenxue immediately forgot about "a dozen card faces." While crunching on a wax apple, she said, "We've encountered a problem! There's a place where there are invisible little ghosts everywhere, and we're guessing there might be a reason behind it. We'd like to ask if your Quanxian clan can communicate with ghosts?"

Coral asked, somewhat puzzled, "It's possible, but why would we need to communicate with a ghost?"

"Of course, we need to find out the cause!"

As Bai Chenxue spoke, she carefully explained the details of the well mission to Shanhu.

Coral was easy to talk to, nodding and saying, "I see, then I'll go take a look for you!"

The three of them arrived near Chang'an City via a teleportation array, and then Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun led the way, guiding Coral to Gray Sand Eye.

About ten minutes later, they were informed that Zhen Junzi and the others who were heading to the Gray Sand Eye had also arrived, and everyone looked at Coral expectantly. "Here..."

Coral's expression gradually turned serious, even angry. He said, "There are indeed many wronged souls here, and most of them are little devils!"

"Kid?"

"They are ghosts that were formed from the deaths of young children. It's strange, these wronged spirits are all very weak and don't seem to have any lingering attachments. Why can they survive in this place?"

Coral explained, then muttered to herself, "And many of them look like they're about to dissipate. Even these, logically speaking, can only last three to five days at most!"

Jia Xiaoren scratched his head and said, "That's strange! It can't be that someone comes and kills a group of people every now and then, and it keeps repeating, right? The monsters that lived here before were captured a month ago!"

"Let me ask a few questions!"

As Coral spoke, her figure suddenly became somewhat transparent, and then slowly flew into the eye of the gray sand, a scene that looked rather eerie.

The coral's translucent form darted back and forth in the distance. Then, a sudden gust of wind rose near the gray sand eye, whipping up grayish-white sand and gravel. The coral, however, seemed unaffected, moving swiftly between the sand and gravel as if chasing something.

A moment later, the coral flew back like a silver-gray ball of light.

"how is it going?"

"Any results!?"

"Can we communicate?"

What did they say?

Everyone asked questions at once.

Coral said with difficulty, "I'm really sorry, these ghosts... these ghosts can hardly be called ghosts anymore. They are all extremely weak wronged souls. Their seven spirits are almost completely scattered, and only one of their two souls remains. The 'Linghui' soul is long gone, so there is no way to communicate. There are a few little ghosts who can still understand what I say, but they refuse to communicate with me honestly. They run around everywhere, or they deliberately make strange noises to scare people."

Jia Xiaoren shrugged and said dejectedly, "Damn it, I'm stuck on the quest!"

Zhongzhou Jinli pondered, "So, the laughter back then must have come from those 'kids'?"

Bai Chenxue also asked, "Are those little devils running very fast? We can't catch them?"

Coral replied, "They're not particularly fast runners, but they can squeeze through cracks, and I can't do anything about it! However, what bothers me more is why these wronged souls are so weak, yet they've been kept here for so long?"

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much for now," Jia Xiaoren suddenly said. "Since they're just a bunch of brats who can't do any real harm to us, why don't we go explore the place Jin Cai mentioned? Maybe things will work out in the end! What if we find something?"

Zhen Junzi said, "Wow! Old Jia, it's rare for you to offer such a constructive suggestion!"

Jia Xiaoren spat and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you agree or not!"

Zhen Junzi agreed with the idea, but he still confirmed it several times: "Let's do it this way! But, Brother Shanhu, those ghosts really aren't much of a threat, are they?"

Coral replied, "They pose no threat. Given their condition, even an ordinary person with strong yang energy would probably not dare to touch them!"

"Alright then! Disciple! The time for your training has come!"

Zhen Junzi gleefully pushed Bian Yuanzhi into the sand and shouted, "Charge! Apprentice!"
