I rode my horse and hurried towards the place where the distress signal was sent.

The closer I got, the more storytellers there were, but they were all telling the story of Lanruo Temple.

It wasn't until I approached Heishan Town that I finally heard a relatively true story.

It was rumored that thirty years ago, there was a tree demon granny in Lanruo Temple who was sealed by the former master of the Demon Hunting Bureau.

In order to break the seal, the tree demon granny gathered the surrounding monsters in Lanruo Temple.

Every person who entered Lanruo Temple would witness a stunning scene.

Dozens of women performed on the stage, each one a peerless beauty.

Those who were captivated by the scenery would fall into the trap of the tree demon granny.

In the midst of pleasure, they would be drained of their essence by countless vines.

A scholar named Ning Caichen happened to pass by this place, but he was not moved by the scenery.

A female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian took pity on him and decided to spare his life.

Thus, a love story between a human and a ghost was born.

Later, Ning Caichen met Yan Chixia, the greatest cultivator in the world.

The two of them returned to Lanruo Temple and killed the tree demon granny.

From then on, Lanruo Temple became an abandoned temple.

However, no one knows what happened to Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in the end.

The storyteller sighed and said,

"The paths of humans and ghosts are different. Even after experiencing numerous tribulations, it's difficult for them to be together."

But the Demon Hunting Bureau's leader who came with me didn't care about this.

He turned to me with a smile on his face and said,

"These wandering artists love to make up stories. They've never seen ghosts in their lives."

"Actually, in the end, Nie Xiaoqian died, cut in half by Yan Chixia's sword. Ning Caichen was heartbroken and stayed in Lanruo Temple."

"It's been several decades now, and in such a remote place, I suppose Ning Caichen is probably dead."

I scratched my head and then looked at the leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau in confusion.

"How do you know all this?"

The leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau looked proud and patted the Seven-Star Sword on his back.

"When we killed the tree demon granny, I was also involved. This sword was given to me by Yan Chixia himself."

I couldn't help but feel respect. It turns out the leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau was such an incredible person several decades ago.

But in the next moment, I realized something was amiss.

The leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau was only in his thirties, which means he went to Lanruo Temple when he was four or five years old?

Before I could ask, the leader of the Demon Hunting Bureau stood up and told me to infiltrate Lanruo Temple at night.
