Li Yi stared in the direction Wang Qiao had left, his expression unusually solemn. He still couldn’t understand why this man had suddenly appeared before him and why he had disappeared just as abruptly.
If he possessed such ability, wouldn’t he easily kill all of them if he wished?
But he did not take any action.
"Are he and I the sa kind of person? Afraid that my death would trigger the resurgence of fierce ghosts... What do these words an? Do I have sothing in common with him? This should be impossible; today is my first day crossing into this world, and I have no connection with this world, so how could I be connected with Wang Qiao? He must have mistaken for soone else."
At this mont, many doubts surfaced in Li Yi’s mind. The few words Wang Qiao had spoken seed to reveal a lot of information, yet he did not understand their significance.
After all, he was still unfamiliar with this world.
If possible, it would be best to consult a local person.
However, exceptional individuals like Wang Qiao seed rare in this world. Their squad had scoured the city without encountering anyone like Wang Qiao. All the people they t were ordinary, leading Li Yi to believe that transcendent powers were held only by a very few in this world.
Those few individuals were extraordinarily powerful and capable of dealing with the evil spirit they had encountered.
The rareness of people with extraordinary powers ant that the Cultivation Circle in this world was small and exclusive, typically unapproachable by ordinary folks.
"However, Wang Qiao said before he left that I would receive a letter in three days, inviting us Cross-borders to deliver it together. What does this statent an?" Li Yi pondered for a mont, but still could not understand it and eventually decided to stop thinking about it and focus on handling the imdiate matters.
Looking at Xu Qiui’s body on the ground, he didn’t hesitate and imdiately took her body out of the urban area to a deserted suburb.
If there were ghosts in this world and incomprehensible, horror-inducing evil spirits, it was perhaps better not to keep Xu Qiui’s body but to cremate it.
In the suburb, he gathered so dry trees, chopped them into segnts, piled them up, and set them alight to cremate Xu Qiui’s body.
He watched beside the fire for several hours, ensuring that no one else took notice. Once Xu Qiui’s body was nearly fully cremated, he unleashed several palms, bursting with Qi Cultivation Martial Artist’s Qi and Blood Gang Qi, and all the remaining embers and unburned bones were pulverized into powder. Then, with the expulsion of Jin Qi, they dispersed into the wilderness as dust.
With that, Xu Qiui’s traces in this world were thoroughly eradicated.
"Sorry, I couldn’t take your body or ashes back ho. I can only offer you ’dust to dust, earth to earth’ here," Li Yi lanted as he looked at the ground’s ashes, then without lingering, turned and walked away.
He didn’t wander aimlessly through the outskirts but retraced his steps back to Dazhuang City.
Having experienced the terror of ghosts in this world, Li Yi did not want to encounter any fierce ghosts or evil spirits when alone. Since most ordinary people could live well in the city, he believed it would be relatively safer for him to blend in, and he thought that such terrifying entities would be rare.
After all, if such things were everywhere in the city, it wouldn’t be inhabited by now.
But where should he go now?
Li Yi looked at the city streets in the deep night, roaming aimlessly and contemplating his next move.
"Perhaps I should have a talk with Wang Qiao. Although he was hostile towards us, he did not attack directly. Maybe I could try contacting him to obtain so information about fierce ghosts and the transcendent powers of this world." He considered this possibility and, rather than seeking information from others, decided it might be better to find Wang Qiao.
However, when he returned to the previously sealed building, Li Yi was stunned.
The caution tape was gone.
The building that had been dark was now lit up again as if everything had returned to normal.
What happened?
There was such a terrifying thing in the building; why had it suddenly been unsealed?
Wait.
Li Yi imdiately realized that the threats in the building must have been dealt with, which was why the caution tape around the building was removed and the building reopened.
"Was it Wang Qiao who handled it? What thod did he use to deal with that old theatrical costu..."
Li Yi was eager to learn what kind of thods could deal with the ghosts of this world. If there was a chance, he definitely wanted to learn them, as navigating this world could be too dangerous otherwise. If he encountered a ghost again, he, as a Qi Cultivation Evolver, would have no power to resist and could be easily killed just like an ordinary person.
Because the caution tape was gone, he really couldn’t find Wang Qiao at that mont.
Having no choice, he decided to leave and find a place to rest.
However, Li Yi didn’t have an identification card in this world, couldn’t stay in hotels, and did not want to leave too many traces. After so thought, he decided to find a building’s rooftop to stay. It offered a broad view, posed less risk of danger, and he was also curious to try out the Cultivation speed in this world.
Arriving at a not-too-tall residential building,
Li Yi looked up, his Jin Qi exploded beneath his feet, and he leaped up. As his strength was about to drain, he kicked against the wall, using this second burst of power to soar upwards again. In just a few seconds of lateral movent, he had reached the rooftop of the residential building.
He was about to set down his backpack and begin ditation.
Suddenly,
Li Yi felt sothing, his eyes shining brightly, and he sharply turned to look in a certain direction.
It was the rooftop of a residential building opposite.
By this ti, it had already beco late at night, and normally, ordinary people should have been asleep, but in his line of sight, he saw a woman in pajamas standing on the balcony, staring blankly in this direction with her phone in hand. It seed that she had inadvertently witnessed Li Yi soaring up the building and even captured it with her phone.
"What bad luck, to be seen at this hour," Li Yi muttered, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He had intended to ignore it, but considering the peculiar nature of the Cross-border, he decided he still had to talk to the woman and at least delete the evidence from her phone.
With that thought, he had no choice but to sling his backpack on again, then take a few steps back and with a fierce charge, he leaped from the tall building of over ten stories.
In just an instant, he had already soared between the two buildings.
"No, no way, did he just jump down from the rooftop? Is he even human?" Zheng Yaoyao, standing on the balcony, was taken aback by this scene. She was initially up for so fresh air due to her inability to sleep, but she never expected to see soone scaling the walls, reaching the rooftop in a few seconds.
She had thought it was her illusion at first, only to see that person jump down from the rooftop again.
But the distance he jumped seed a bit far... wait, sothing’s off, it seems like he’s coming towards .
Zheng Yaoyao, frightened, hurriedly ran back into her room.
But in the next mont,
a faint noise, accompanied by the trembling of the ground, arrived, and a tall figure had leaped from mid-air, landing precisely on the balcony.
The Qi Cultivation Martial Artist’s technique of releasing force allowed Li Yi to land almost noiselessly.
He stood up calmly and then walked toward the room.
"You, you don’t co any closer..." Inside the room, Zheng Yaoyao, trembling, held her phone, trying to call the authorities, but her hand shook so much she could hardly hold the phone steady.
"Delete what you just fild, and I’ll leave imdiately," Li Yi said. "I’m just passing through and have no intention of harming you."
"I didn’t film anything just now, I was just taking selfies on the balcony," Zheng Yaoyao quickly explained.
"Your word doesn’t count; I need to check for myself." Li Yi walked over, snatched the phone from her hand, and then squeezed hard.
The phone was crushed instantly in his hand, beyond any hope of repair.
Li Yi then took out ten thousand yuan from his backpack and tossed it onto the nearby table, "This is compensation for you, go buy yourself a new phone."
He was not the type to bully others. Since he had destroyed her property, it was only natural to compensate her.
After finishing this, Li Yi turned and walked toward the balcony, planning to leave and find another building to rest in.
"Wait, wait a mont." Seeing that Li Yi was not a bad person and harbored no intent to harm her, Zheng Yaoyao found the courage to call him back and asked, "Please, are you the rumored Ghost Tar?"
Li Yi, originally about to jump off the balcony, abruptly halted his step at the ntion of Ghost Tar.
Ghost Tar?
Li Yi turned his head to look at the woman, "What is a Ghost Tar?"
"A Ghost Tar, of course, deals with ghosts, don’t you know?" Zheng Yaoyao explained.
So, people who deal with ghosts are called Ghost Tars? That’s what the transcendent people of this world are known as.
At that mont, Li Yi recalled the Wang Qiao he had encountered earlier, who should have been soone dealing with ghosts, also known as a Ghost Tar.
"I’m not a Ghost Tar. Where did you learn about the existence of Ghost Tars?" he imdiately approached her, his eyes intensely focused as he inquired.
Zheng Yaoyao felt as if she was being stared at by an ultimate fierce beast at that mont. A primal fear surged through her, draining her strength almost entirely, nearly causing her to collapse to the floor.
Ordinary people can’t withstand the overwhelming presence of an Evolver since the disparity in life levels is too vast.
It’s akin to a common person facing a fierce tiger; just a close look from the tiger can make their legs go weak, and Li Yi’s presence before a common person is akin to that of a tiger at the top of the food chain, so it was normal for Zheng Yaoyao to feel terrified.
Realizing this, Li Yi imdiately regulated his Qi-Blood and contained his aura, allowing Zheng Yaoyao to feel slightly better.
"I want to know everything about Ghost Tars. If you can tell , I will give you so unexpectedly good benefits," he earnestly stated.
As the suffocating pressure from Li Yi’s presence eased, Zheng Yaoyao caught her breath, afraid to hide anything, and said, "I, I don’t know much. I heard about Ghost Tars from a colleague, who also learned this from watching a live broadcast online."
"A live broadcast?" Li Yi asked. "Which broadcaster was talking about Ghost Tars?"
"A broadcaster nad Wardgil Yingbangbang ntioned it, but the broadcasting channel has already been shut down," Zheng Yaoyao replied.
Shut down?
That makes sense.
The transcendent powers in this world are held by the Ghost Tars, and with their limited numbers, they cannot be exposed to the public eye. If the upper echelons wanted to restrict this information, most common people would struggle to know, and broadcasters like that revealing insider information are certain to be banned.
"If the broadcasting channel is shut down, the information might have still spread. How much do you know?" Li Yi asked, looking at her.
