Chapter 160: Visiting

In the latter part of the night, Li Yi stood guard in the room. He had not slept all night and hesitated not a moment to slay any ghost bold enough to approach, ensuring the safety of the area and also preventing the life span of the three from being stolen.

Thus the night passed.

Only when daylight dawned did the Yin energy filling the heavens and earth begin to rapidly disperse. Some confused ghosts did not know to leave and were gravely injured by the sunlight, quickly dissipating. Those evil spirits simply could not survive the first sunrise. For a moment, the world seemed purified.

However, Li Yi understood that only those ghosts posing no real threat had dissipated. The truly powerful, intelligent ghosts had already retreated before the dawn. These ghosts would reappear on the first day of the next month to continue stealing people's life spans, an endless cycle.

His zealous ghost hunting last night had merely shielded the few people by his side.
