<h4>Chapter 1626: Unexpected disaster</h4>


    There were banging sounds as if invisible hands were knocking at the inn’s door. Thenterns outside were swaying in the wind. Their mes had already been blown out, leaving nothing but darkness.


    The crowd inside the inn were quiet as they listened to the movements outside. Except for those who were lying on the table drunk, the others were staring outside vigntly.


    The people on the second floor acted the same as those on the first floor. However, they tookfort in having one moreyer of the protective boundary.


    When everyone stared out at the sight below with vignce, Feng Xiao was still asleep in the corner of the second floor. It was normal that he couldn’t hear the eerie whistling sound of the wind because he had set up a soundproof boundary.


    “Tch! What an easy-going man.”


    A loose cultivator nced at the sleeping Feng Xiao and sneered. “He won’t have any idea how he dies.”


    The others also nced at Feng Xiao, watching the spectacle with interest.


    As the night grew deeper and closer to midnight, some of the men prepared to go out while others decided to watch. Primordial spirit fruits could be picked in the valley at the back mountain, less than a hundred meters away from this ce.


    Those on the first floor went together in groups. Although they knew that Yin energy was the heaviest at midnight, tonight was the time when primordial spirit fruits ripened and fell to the ground. All kinds of ghosts would contend for the fruits, not to mention them.


    Even ghosts would get a hundred years of cultivation after obtaining a piece of primordial spirit fruit. If they wished for the primordial spirit fruit, they had to view with those ghosts!


    The inn guests went out one by one, some in groups and some alone. Gradually, even people on the second floor also went out. Only the old man was shuttling the inn back and forth to pack things.


    When he came to the second floor, he found Feng Xiao sleeping soundly in the corner. The old man smiled and sat down to one side.


    At midnight, the moon was covered by a dark cloud. At this time, the inn’s door was swept open by a strong wind. The cold night wind came in apanied by loud mournful cries. Faint white shadows also came floating in.


    Tables on the first floor were destroyed and pushed aside. Countless white shadows drifted in from outside. After being jolted fiercely, several loose cultivators on the first floor who were sprawled drunk on the floor immediately stood up.


    “Hahahaha...”


    Those loose cultivators let out a burst of heartyughter. The stream of air shook faintly from their mighty pressure. The expressions on their faces were malicious. With an abrupt swept of their gaze, their sights were directed at those remaining on the second floor.


    “It’s bad! They’re being possessed by the ghosts!”


    Theplexions of several of the loose cultivators on the second floor changed. Watching the possessed loose cultivators broke the boundary and tried toe up, they couldn’t help looking at the old man sitting by. “Can this boundary stop them?”


    The old man stroked his beard and nced downward. “This boundary is to block ghosts, not people. Unless something unexpected happens, the boundary will not be able to withstand the destructive attacks of those people.”


    “What? You damn old man! If it can’t withstand those attacks, how shameless you are to charge us one hundred gold coins!” A few of them shouted loudly, flustered and agitated. They carried swords in their hands, ready to fight.


    However, as soon as they finished yelling, the boundary on the second floor was split open with a bang. As the possessed loose cultivators were still rushing forward, countless ghosts swept ahead of them with an intent to entrap those men...
