Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 520



Chapter 520: 520

The three continued to move around until they found a shop where they could sit down . Xue Wei found some parchment, an inkstone, and a calligraphy pen from his storage treasure .

As a cultivator, Xue Wei had full control over his movements, and while he had no experience with drawing, he soon found that it was quite simple .

Although he was not experienced, the drawing was easy to recognize . The woman on the drawing was extremely beautiful . While the actual technical level of the drawing was rather lacking, the image itself was stunning enough for everyone to forgive it .

Even Lan was shocked upon witnessing the painting of his beloved, and his eyes turned moist for a moment while he became lost in memories .

Xue Wei himself was also rather astounded to see that he had such artistic skills . It was not something he had attempted before, and frankly, he thought that it would be impossible to draw something nice; however, when he held the pen in his hand, he felt as if it was an extension of his arm, and just as easy to control .

After drawing a stack of these paintings, Xue Wei and Lan glanced at one another again . How were they to spread them?

At this moment, the female ghost spoke up, "I would suggest that we head towards the Whispering Oak Inn . It is a chain of inns that are present in the entire Ghost Realm, across all the regions, and in all major cities .

"This inn focuses on information gathering while also letting people rest when they travel from place to place . It is also the faction in control of the transportation arrays . "

Xue Wei and Lan were both rather surprised when they heard what she said . They had not thought that such a faction would exist in the Ghost Realm, but it was exactly what they needed .

Xue Wei found some more paper and began drawing an illustration of Tie Haolong and his father . He also wanted to draw one of his mother, but he had never seen her before, so he did not know how she looked like .

Lan had also never met her in person . While he knew everything that happened to her due to his connection to that world, he had never actually met her, so her facial features were too blurred in his mind to be able to draw anything out from .

Xue Wei had drawn the three illustrations of the three different figures, and he paid the owner of the shop for the time he had stayed there with some of the spirit liquid he had gotten from the merchant . Afterwards, he and Lan followed behind the female ghost .

"Have you been here before?" Xue Wei could not help but ask, as he saw how confident she was in the direction she was walking . It was as if she had been here many times before, but the female ghost shook her head .

"The Whispering Oak Inn is located in the center of all cities," she began explaining . "Even the most powerful ghosts in the ghost realm dare not cause problems when it comes to this faction, and it is one of the few factions in this entire Ghost Realm . To get ghosts to work together is extremely hard . "

Xue Wei nodded his head . It made sense, so he also held some hope that this place would be able to help them with locating the people they were looking for .

Lan also felt his heartbeat rise, and he could not help but feel hopeful that they knew of Li Zhiqing . Although he had patiently waited for so many years, he was unable to keep the same aloofness now that he was in the Ghost Realm .

While he kept a hope that she was still a ghost, he had to admit that the fear of her having been consumed had long since entered his heart .

He was scared of facing the truth . When he had not entered the Ghost Realm yet, he still held onto the hope that she was having a decent life somewhere else, and that he could reunite with her at some point .

However, now that he had entered the Ghost Realm, he suddenly began to feel fear . What if she did not exist anymore? What if she had been consumed by someone else, and her light had been extinguished forever?

Xue Wei understood Lan’s worries, but he was not sure what to say . He was not that good at comforting others, and he could not say for sure that she still existed in this Ghost Realm, as he really did not know .

While he was hoping for it with all his heart, he could not assure Lan about something he himself was insecure about .

Lan understood Xue Wei’s thoughts, and he was not expecting to be comforted . However, he could feel that he was worried about him, and he felt moved .

After a bit of time, they arrived at the very center of the city . Here was a massive square which was bustling with activity, ghosts were rushing through the busy streets, and Xue Wei was quite shocked by the scurrying ghosts .

Why were they rushing around like this? Was there anything they needed to do? This Ghost Realm was truly confusing for Xue Wei . Many of the common things from the world of the living did not exist here, but even so, everyone was hurrying to do something all the time .

He shook his head; it did not matter to him why they were so hurried; instead, he looked around the square, his eyes focused on a building on the opposite side of the square . It was magnificent .

The building was towering towards the sky, it looked domineering, and not many dared to get close to it, and those who did were all looking at the building with reverence as they slowly made their way through its doors .
