🌺🍀Chapter 5 : The Locked Ancient Temple 1

As your group were rushing, following the mob crowd chasing the shadow. You suddenly smell something and halt on your tracks. Xie Lian however did not falter his steps and continue chasing them.

"Stop! It's dangerous!" Xie Lian said.

The three people hesitate for a moment but Xiao Pengtou resisted. "Nothing ventured,Nothing gained! I won't give up like him!" He said and entered the forest. "Let's go!" And the rest of them followed him too.

You rubbed the bridge of your nose while walking beside Xie Lian. "Guess nothing can stop their greediness." You muttered then focused on the dark path between the forest.

Half of the mob group came behind you two holding torches when all of a sudden you all heard a scream. Xiao Pengtou and the others rushed out from the forest covered in blood. Your body went stiff in fear as blood was presented in your eyes. Xie Lian noticed your mood and push you back away.

"Stay there [name]. I know how much you hate the sight of blood." he said. You didn't say anything and just nod your head. You had enough of smelling rotten corpse, stench of blood...it was too much for your senses!

Xie Lian took a torch from a random mob, stepping forward and threw the torch in between the darkest path of the forest. As the torch is in mid air, it revealed many dead bodies hanged on the trees. And blood dripped down from the bodies to the trees.

You held a hand to your mouth, looking away and stumbling back. Then a hand held your hand and it was Nan Feng. "Thanks..." You muttered.

"I certainly didn't expect that the ghost groom, a wrath, has something to do with Green Immor." Nan Feng said. Fu Yao huffed. "It's gonna be tricky." he said.

Xie Lian tilted his head. "Who is Green Immor?"

Fu Yao folded his arms, nearly rolling his eyes."A ghost whose cultivation level is near devastation. His favorite trick is hanging corpses upside down in the woods," He paused then stared at you. You narrowed your eyes while staring at him blankly. "And is madly infatuated with Immortal God [Name]." he finishes. You shrugged your shoulder at the statement.

"What? [Name] is that true?"Xie Lian asked you in disbelief. You sighed. "Yes, there was one time I ran across him and kindly greeted him...he began following me without knowing." You explained, a chilling shiver ran down your spine. "Good thing someone helped me that time...it was totally creepy."

"..." Seeing how [Name] is creeped out by it, they didn't bother to ask who.

Nan Feng spoke. "After the attack of the slave-goblins, we parted ways. [Name] should have passed here. Have you noticed anything unusual?" You held a hand under your chin, thinking. "Well..." A thought in your mind made you realize something.

"What?" Fu Yao asked interrupting your thoughts. "I met someone when I was in the sedan chair. He..."

Then you began telling what happened after someone helped you down the sedan chair, crushing the magical array and leading you safely through the forest. You realize the reason this person opened an umbrella is because you two were walking through the forest of hanging corpse made by the Green Ghost Immor. And this person was...

"You mean the perilous magical array was crushed by one stamp of him?"Fu Yao confirm. You nod your head. "Could he be the Near Devastation Green Immor you're talking about?" Xie Lian asked. Nan Feng shrugged. "Maybe. Does he have any distinctive features?"

"Silvery Butterflies..."

"What kind of silvery butterflies?"Fu Yao asked. You saw Nan Feng must've realise who just by looking at his expression. "Silvery, transculent..."

"...and not looking like living creatures?" Xie Lian continued, co forming your thoughts. You snapped your fingers. "That's right!—eh? You've seen one, Lian?" Xie Lian nod his head.

Immediately, Fu Yao started running. "We need to get out of here!"he said. "But we haven't found the ghost groom. We can't go!" you shouted. Fu Yao stop on his tracks. "[Name] is right!"Xie Lian said agreement. "The ghost groom is nothing but a wrath." Fu Yao sighs."The Green Immor is just near devastation. Do you know who the master of the silvery butterflies?" He asked.

Xie Lian shake his head and said. "I don't know. Please go ahead." Fu Yao sighs. "We don't have time to explain. In a word, the situation is beyond you two."He then turn his heels back."We need to head back to heaven and report this."he said. [Name] smiled. "Then you should go now." You said.

Fu Yao seemed reluctant to leave and wait for your next words. "Firstly, he didn't seem to have any ill will. Secondly, if he's indeed as intimidating as you said, then I shouldn't just leave others behind." You explained then turn to your friends behind. "I'm gonna stay here with Xie Lian and Nan Feng." You smiled in reassurance. "You head back and get help." You said. And with that Fu Yao left without another word.

All of a sudden, you three heard a commotion nearby and saw the mob group dragging a young man full of bandages wrap around his head. Saying the young man was the ghost groom, Xiao Ying dash towards them and protected the boy, pulling behind her. Xiao Pengtou resisted and pulled the bandage boy's arm. Having enough of this you appeared before them and yanked the boy out from his grasp.

"That's enough!" You said, pulling the boy behind you. "Ma'am, please help us!" Xiao Ying exclaimed. You looked over your shoulder and stare at the young man fr behind. This young man has something strange...you can't point put what...

Xie Lian stepped infront of you. "He is not the ghost groom. The real one should be in the vicinity." he said. Xiao Pengtou scoffed. "I was wondering why you were acting oddly. It turns out that you're all accomplices of the ghost groom!" He said, pointing his finger to you and Xiao Ying."I've seen it! You masqueraded yourself as angels of justice, but you're actually filthy robbers and murderers!" You gave him a blank expression before rolling your eyes. "Oh please, you don't have solid proof to confirm we are accomplices of the ghost groom. Stop spouting such nonsense!"

Your words irked him. Xiao Pengtou rolled up his sleeves. "I'll kill you for the sake of---" A silk white band hit him in the chin and fell on the ground.  You turn around and it seems like Xie Lian didn't like how Xiao Pengtou had treated you, then rouye nuzzles against you before it returned under Xie Lian's sleeves.

The mob group snarled holding their weapons when Nan Feng gave them a death glare, when the trees swayed and the blood splatter down.

"It's not safe to stay here. Let's go!"
