Chapter 139: The Misty Hole
Shen Luo felt around his body and discovered that the elixir and gold rope he had obtained from the Demon Fox and Commander Wu last time were still on him. This put his mind at ease somewhat.
He turned around, casting his gaze in all directions, only to find that all he could see was a vast expanse of white fog, its destination unknown.
After a brief contemplation, he lifted his foot and started walking in the direction opposite to the Ghost Gate Pass.
After walking about a hundred yards in one go, Shen Luo noticed the dense fog before him growing thicker while the chilling Yin wind around him was also becoming fiercer.

When Shen Luo thought he would never be able to escape, the fog in front of him suddenly dispersed out of nowhere. The wind sound instantly disappeared, and he felt a sudden ease in his body, stumbling a few steps forward before finally steadying himself.
Before Shen Luo had the time to celebrate the relief, he lifted his head and saw himself standing in front of a ruined archway. On it, there was a damaged inscription that read “Ghost Gate Pass”. Below the inscription, there were three more characters with a black-red color which spelled “hate”, that looked terrifyingly horrific.
“I’m back again!”
