Without realizing it, more than a month had passed since the incident at Old Wang's house. Since parting ways with Old Wang, we had traveled many roads and visited numerous villages. However, we hadn't encountered any peculiar or strange events, let alone any ghostly disturbances. Not a single person had even mentioned a ghostly shadow.
It was as if, during this past month, all ghostly entities had found places to hide themselves away. Or perhaps it could be said that they were avoiding us.
At first, I thought it was the old man's doing since, after all, he was the Ghost King, and all ghostly entities should listen to him. Thus, I shared my thoughts with my master. But my master shook his head repeatedly after hearing me out, saying that the old man, the Ghost King, was only the Ghost King of the Paradise Realm and not the ruler of all ghostly entities in this world, so it couldn't be his doing.
