Chapter 6: 6. The Demon Cultivator Receives the Invitation for the Second Time
Black Heart Mountain is gone?
As they descended the mountain, the Heartless Old Man’s expendable disciples each wore a look of confusion on their faces.
Although they had been forcibly taken to the mountain at first, intimidated by the Heartless Old Man’s fierce reputation, they inevitably felt apprehensive. But after acquiring the Sevenfold Demonic Body Scripture, that unease was replaced by joy.
After all, this was a superior cultivation technique!
But soon, they all became happy. For one, the Heartless Old Man seemed to have disappeared; for another, Black Heart Mountain had also disbanded. This meant that from now on, they could act without any worries, even if they decided to join a righteous sect with this superior cultivation technique.
And watching his fellow disciples descend the mountain, Tan Shuchang managed a slight smile.
He had provided them the best possible path, a brotherhood. As for their future, it was up to their destiny.
"The Master is dead, and this certain-death situation has been resolved."
"Next, what I need to consider is that bizarre game..." Speaking of which, Tan Shuchang’s attitude towards this strange game was actually somewhat complex.
After all, if it weren’t for this sudden bizarre game inviting him, he might not even have found such a suitable fierce ghost!
He would not have had the strength to kill the Heartless Old Man.
But such places involved with the word ’bizarre’ could certainly not be considered benevolent.
"Oh yes, there’s also that damnable thief who stole my journal!"
Whenever Tan Shuchang thought of this, he couldn’t help feeling irritated.
The place where he stored his journal had been specially processed; otherwise, it wouldn’t have remained undisturbed for so many years.
Previously, when Tan Shuchang gathered his fellow disciples, none could trigger his sense, indicating that the thief who stole his journal was someone from outside Black Heart Mountain!
However, before Tan Shuchang could thoroughly investigate the suspects, a familiar attribute frame appeared before him.
Player: Tan Shuchang.
Level: Ding-Eight (Ding level, upgradable through one bizarre game experience)
Malice Resistance: Jia-One.
Contamination Resistance: Jia-One.
Destruction Resistance: Jia-One.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll lock up the doors and windows first."
When Tan Shuchang talked about locking up, he naturally meant to use the coercive powers from cultivation techniques, fearing that he might scare the fierce ghost when the time came, allowing it to use the terrain and the advantage of being the host to escape.
After all, compared to the fierce ghost that had always stayed in the eerie game, Tan Shuchang, who was only here for the second time, was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of information.
Playing in an away game, the most important thing is to be cautious and anticipate all possible occurrences in advance!
"Seven Shadows, Seal!"
A black shadow condensed behind Tan Shuchang, and with a flicker, it split into seven. Each split shadow then directly entered different spots, whether in the walls, floors, or ceilings, diversely.
Before long, Tan Shuchang felt he could sense every corner of the dormitory building.
"The fierce ghost is still not here, it seems it will only appear at night..."
Having realized this, Tan Shuchang found a spot and began to patiently wait.
Just as Tan Shuchang was sealing the dormitory building tightly, several figures began to slowly approach it.
These figures were all players of the eerie game.
Initially, these players were approaching cautiously, but upon spotting others, they immediately joined those they recognized.
Because the players participating this time belonged to two different player groups.
"It’s you guys!"
These two player groups had significant conflicts in the past.
"Alright, calm down everyone. This game instance is the Endless Dormitory with a very high chance of a group wipeout! I suggest we stop fighting and agree that no one will attack others during this instance!"
It didn’t take long before someone stood up and curbed the conflict between the two sides.
And to this, both groups of players had no objections.
These people were experienced players, so after the conflict was suppressed, it only took them a few minutes to come up with a feasible exploration plan.
However, what none of these experienced players of the eerie game expected was that their plan had to be scrapped almost as soon as it was formed.
Because...
"Why are all the doors of this dormitory locked?"
