There was a big red lantern hanging on the door of the inn. It was very eye-catching in the dark night. The coach was parked alone at the side. The interior of the coach was empty. Obviously, all the passengers had gone in.
Luo Kai walked to the door and stared at the four blood-red words on the signboard, "Evil Inn".
There was a couplet on both sides of the door, "Shuttling between the two worlds of Yin and Yang, moving unhindered in the universe."
The two worlds of Yin and Yang were easy to understand. They were the positive and negative space. However, the phrase "moving unhindered in the universe" was a bit too arrogant.
"Sir, Evil Inn only accepts evil spirits from all directions. We don't accept living beings!"
An old man dressed in ancient clothing suddenly appeared in front of the door and spoke to him in a hoarse voice.
The old man's body was a mass of condensed fog. It was cold and strange. He was indeed a life form of the Dark Realm. He was also the ghost of the Underworld in the legends.
Luo Kai's eyes flickered with starlight. Traces of red killing intent appeared on his body. He said indifferently, "You shouldn't have appeared in this world."
The old man looked at him from head to toe and smiled sinisterly, "Sir, your killing intent is very strong. After you die, you will definitely be a top-grade evil spirit. You will naturally be the same as us."
Luo Kai wasn't sure if the soul could still exist after death. The creature in front of him looked exactly the same as the ghost in the legends. However, it was actually a different kind of life form. It wasn't transformed from a human after death. For example, the creature that looked like a beautiful woman was just a kind of insect from the microscopic universe.
The old man continued, "Sir, your killing intent is so strong. No matter when you were alive or after death, you must be a strong expert. Our Evil Inn respects the strong the most. I'm sorry that we can't entertain you before you die."
Luo Kai's face turned cold and said, "Let go of the people just now. Otherwise, I will kill all of you."
The old man's body slowly became brighter, and a cold and hoarse voice sounded from all directions, "Heh heh … What an arrogant tone. The world of the dead is not something that the living can understand. Dear guest, please leave."
Luo Kai naturally wouldn't leave. He was thinking about how to kill these strange creatures. It was difficult to use physical means. It seemed that only spiritual power could work.
"Old Hou, let the guest in." Right at this moment, a charming and languid voice suddenly sounded out from within the inn.
The old man's body slowly solidified. He turned around and replied respectfully, "Yes."
Then, he made an inviting gesture to Luo Kai. "Please come in."
Luo Kai thought to himself. With his current strength, other than the gods, nothing else could pose a threat to him, so he followed the man in. The inn was filled with a cool, mint-like fragrance. At a square table in the lobby, a few people were drinking and chatting, their bodies shrouded in mist.
He focused his mind and tried to see the faces of these people, but he felt that the layer of fog was like some kind of barrier, and neither light nor mental power could pass through it. As for talking, he couldn't hear anything.
The old man asked, "Would you like to stay in the inn, or would you like to have a meal before leaving?"
Luo Kai's murderous intent had been suppressed. He wanted to see what these creatures were like. He said coldly, "I would like to stay in the inn."
"Then, please wait for a moment. This inn hasn't received a living person for a long time. It needs to be cleaned up. Xiao Cui, bring the guest a pot of Hundred Spirits Wine."
Luo Kai sat alone at a table and observed silently. Aside from the guests at the table, there were a few servants and maids in the inn. They were looking at him and whispering to each other. They didn't look any different from humans, and their habits seemed to be exactly the same.
A young girl wearing an ancient Chinese costume came out from the back of the hall, brought him a pot of wine, and then left. She didn't even look at him.
Luo Kai used his mind to feel the wine pot in front of him. It seemed that there was only a cold air inside. He thought for a moment and gently poured out a cup. A layer of silver-white fog flowed into the cup and kept spinning. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't eat.
A charming voice came from the next table. "This is Hundred Spirits Wine. It's brewed from a hundred souls. It's a great tonic for humans."
Then, a rough and hoarse voice sounded. "It's just a human with a lot of vitality. Sister Sadie, let me just eat him."
Then, another elegant voice sounded. "Our Evil Inn hasn't received a human for many years. It's not good to eat him directly."
"Okay, this little guy is quite interesting. He'll be the first human guest since our Evil Inn reopened. How about this? Today's food and accommodation are all free." The charming voice decided.
Luo Kai turned to look at them and asked, "Are you evil spirits?"
The charming voice seemed to be a bit unhappy. It said coldly, "I don't like that name. I prefer you to call us ghosts and gods."
"Ghosts and gods?"
Luo Kai smiled faintly. Although he couldn't see the face of the speaker, with his current state of mind, as long as there was something that could threaten him, he would feel a sense of danger. Now, he didn't feel any danger, which meant that these strange creatures were at most equivalent to human Saints.
The charming voice suddenly chuckled. "Hehe, you're the first customer of our Evil Tavern after it opened. Our Ghost God Race is committed to building a good relationship with humans. In fact, our two races can rule this world together. What do you think?"
Luo Kai frowned. He didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "What about the people on the bus just now?
Why did you bring them here? "
A misty shadow slowly stood up from the next table. It walked to Luo Kai's table and poured a glass of Hundred Spirits Wine for itself. Then, it slowly said, "I won't hide it from you. We ghosts and gods need to feed on the essence of humans, just like how you humans raise cows and sheep. I won't harm their lives. Instead, I'll give them the best food and shelter so that they won't have to worry about living for the rest of their lives until they die of old age."
"Sister Die, why bother explaining to this human boy? Since he dared to break into the intersection of the Dark Shadow Realm, I'll turn him into an evil spirit. Then, he'll understand everything." A shadow at the next table stood up angrily.
A shadow beside him hurriedly pulled him back. In a voice that Luo Kai couldn't hear, the shadow advised, "This human's Blood Qi is so thick. He's definitely not an ordinary person. We've just arrived in this world. It's best not to make a fuss."
The furious shadow couldn't wait any longer. He turned around and said, "Sister Die, this boy's Yang Qi is very strong. After eating him, my strength will definitely increase. Why don't you just let me eat him tonight?"
"No, this human not only has strong Yang Qi, but his physical strength and mental power are also very high. His willpower is also very strong. It's not easy for us ghosts to deal with such a person. Humans are indeed the spirits of all living things. The intersection of positive and negative energies has only been a few dozen universe years, and such a life form has already been born."
"Yeah … When humans were just born, they were just one of the many living things. Later, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi sharply decreased, and the other powerful life forms went extinct. Humans relied on external forces to become the overlords of the Middle World … However, all living things have their own weaknesses. That's why we ghosts were born and fed on the essence of humans."
A few shadows whispered. Although Luo Kai couldn't hear what they were saying, he could feel their hostility. He secretly gathered his strength. His still blood slowly flowed, and a silver light flashed between his eyebrows. If he wanted to deal with these creatures that were in between the real and the void, he could only rely on the Blade of Severance or use the Heaven and Earth Thunder Roar. He could already feel the explosive power that was gradually recovering between the heaven and earth. It was the power of thunder and lightning that could suppress all living things!
