Chapter 193: Studying the Scripture, Taking on a Disciple, and Entering the City

Chapter 193: Studying the Scripture, Taking on a Disciple, and Entering the City



In the quiet of the night, Luo Chen was alone in the Green Thatched Cottage.

In his hands was a brand-new bamboo scroll, none other than the Foundation Establishment gift from Li Yixuan.

"Jade Elm Emperor Scripture"

It was specially transcribed and even selected second-stage Violet Qi bamboo as the material for the bamboo slips.

Luo Chen had paid a significant price for this technique.

Five thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

And allowing the Li family to join the alliance of Luo Tianhui, Nan Gong family, and the Great River Gang.

They would not interfere with the pill business.

It was merely a way to establish a connection and avoid any future conflicts with the three major powers.

This was not an unfounded worry.

Anyone could see that after Luo Chen's Foundation Establishment, the originally weakest Luo Tianhui had suddenly become the strongest local power in Da He Fang!

Under his command was a powerful fighter like Wang Yuan, capable of challenging Foundation Establishment cultivators.

There was also a second-stage Explosive Ape, a subjugated beast that could serve as a means to reach Foundation Establishment.

Additionally, there were numerous experienced Qi Refinement stage experts who had been tempered through countless battles of blood and fire.

This level of strength was awe-inspiring! Even though they might not outnumber the Mountain Destruction Gang, their unity was even stronger.

If Luo Chen had any intention to move against the Li family, the Nan Gong family and the Great River Gang would most likely get involved due to their shared interests.

Wouldn't this lead to a repeat of the Mountain Destruction Gang incident?

"This girl's insight is truly remarkable!"

Murmuring to himself, Luo Chen unrolled the Jade Elm Emperor Scripture.

He read through it once and then used the system to check if he could begin cultivating it.

After receiving confirmation, he was sure that there were no hidden tricks within the technique.

He turned off the system.

Luo Chen didn't plan to use the system to start cultivating the technique.

Although he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage and could now learn a second-stage technique, the cost of starting a second-stage technique had returned to normal.

However, after starting the Imperial Stream Fluid, he only had three Achievement Points left.

The quantity was insufficient! But he wasn't worried.

With the foundation of the Great Perfection Eternal Spring Technique, he could seamlessly transition to the Jade Elm Emperor Scripture.

"Although the Jade Elm is gentle, it can dissect a sheep and butcher a cow. Embracing the essence of fire, it soars with the phoenix and rides the monkey."

"In a damp and gloomy land, even riding a horse is a concern. The vine binds the armor, suitable for both spring and autumn."

...

The night passed, and Luo Chen woke up from his meditation.

Looking at his attribute panel, he noticed the change in the technique section.

The Great Perfection Eternal Spring Technique entry had already disappeared.

In its place was:

[Technique: Jade Elm Emperor Scripture Beginner 2/100, Divine Spirit Demonic Annihilation Perfect 351/500, Ten Thousand Beasts Scripture 10/100]



"Indeed, my judgment was correct."

"If I had switched to the Jade Spring Hellfire Scripture, it would have taken at least several months to barely begin cultivating it. The subsequent cultivation would have been even more inconvenient."

"On the other hand, seamlessly transitioning to the higher-level technique of the Eternal Spring Technique allowed me to quickly start cultivating it."

"Moreover, the effects are even more remarkable!"

Luo Chen could feel that the special effects of the Great Perfection Eternal Spring Technique were still active.

Effects like automatic Qi recovery and purifying Essence Energy were still functioning.

If that was all, it wouldn't be a problem.

But he could also sense that his proficiency in the Jade Elm Emperor Scripture was rapidly improving.

The efficiency of improvement far surpassed that of other techniques!

In just one night, his proficiency had soared to level 2 instead of the initial level 1 for beginners.

The main reason for this was the already Great Perfection Eternal Spring Technique.

"It won't be long before I achieve a basic level of mastery, or even a higher level, in this scripture!"

Luo Chen was confident.

However, he couldn't yet determine the effects of the Jade Elm Emperor Scripture.

Since he had just started cultivating it, he couldn't obtain specific data.

Moreover, the massive medicinal power within his body hadn't been completely refined, which also affected his judgment.

"A long period of seclusion is necessary!"

"But..."

Luo Chen's eyes flickered slightly. Before entering seclusion, he had one more matter to attend to.

He stood up and closed the small door of the Green Thatched Cottage.

Luo Chen stepped on the clouds and descended from the mountain peak.

...

The Alchemy Hall, the Alchemy Pavilion! This was built by Sima Huiwang's people based on the Duan family's original foundation.

It wasn't meant for pill refinement but served as a temporary resting place for Luo Chen after he finished refining pills.

However, since yesterday's Foundation Establishment Ceremony, the Alchemy Pavilion had been tightly shut.

Outside the Alchemy Pavilion, the increasingly aged Qu Han Cheng paced back and forth on the walkway with a worried expression.

Pale-faced and delicate Mi Li stood at the entrance of the pavilion.

"Uncle Qu, don't worry."

Qu Han Cheng stopped and sighed.

"How can I not worry? Ling Jun has been kneeling in the Alchemy Pavilion all night, and I don't know how the President will punish him."

Refining pills without Luo Chen's permission was a major taboo.

In Luo Tianhui, Luo Chen's word was law.

And the Alchemy Hall was established by him, so no one dared to disobey his orders.

Qu Lingjun had committed a serious offense by refining pills without permission.

Mi Li bit her lip and said softly, "Maybe it won't be a punishment?"

Qu Han Cheng was taken aback...

Just as he was lost in thought, a gentle breeze blew by.

Luo Chen appeared before Qu Han Cheng and Mi Li, accompanied by Sima Huiwang and Murong Qinglian.

"President..."

Luo Chen glanced at Qu Han Cheng, causing the old man to swallow his words.

"Wait outside."

Leaving those words behind, Luo Chen approached the Alchemy Pavilion.

The massive copper doors slowly opened, allowing soft light to shine through and reveal a straight-backed figure kneeling on the ground.

As Luo Chen's tall figure entered, the copper doors closed once again.

"President, you won't punish Ling Jun, will you?"

Qu Han Cheng couldn't help but ask Sima Huiwang.

Sima Huiwang smiled and said, "Rest assured, it's a good thing."

Seeing Qu Han Cheng's continued confusion, she shook her head and laughed, "With Ling Jun's pill refinement talent, who would be willing to punish such a promising talent?"

Qu Lingjun's pill refinement talent.

Was it high?

Others might not know, but to Luo Chen, it was undoubtedly exceptional!

Looking at the kneeling youth, Luo Chen felt a sense of dizziness.

He remembered the young boy who had been carried by Tang Quan and flown through the sky, crying in fear.

In the past, he was a little brat who would get flustered and turn red in the face during his own exams.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he has grown into a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth, an extraordinary sight.

His eyebrows and nose bridge resembled that of an old man in Qu Hancheng.

But the curiosity in his eyes and the determination in his tightly closed mouth were somewhat similar to his own.

Indeed, this young man shared a few similarities with himself.

They both had mediocre talents and an extraordinary passion for alchemy.

The difference was that he had the advantage of the system, while the young man possessed an astonishing talent for alchemy that would astonish the world!

He could refine a low-grade first-tier pill within a hundred attempts.

With such talent, if it were to be publicized, one could imagine the competition among the smaller sects to recruit him, even if the major sects might hesitate.

Of course, the outcome of such a situation would be hard to predict.

Even with Luo Chen's exceptional intelligence, he had faced suppression from Uncle Mi, Miao Wen, and others.

How far could Qu Lingjun, with his frail and immature shoulders, go on the path of immortality?

An unspoken silence filled the grand hall.

After a long while, Luo Chen finally spoke softly.

"Qu Lingjun, do you know why I asked you to kneel here for the night?"

"Huff..."

Hearing Luo Chen's question, the young man exhaled deeply.

He relaxed his entire body and smiled.

"Whatever the President asks me to do must be for my own good."

Er...

Luo Chen couldn't hold back anymore.

They had agreed on a question-and-answer session, and after three rounds, they would get to the main topic. Damn, the style was not being maintained.

Luo Chen waved his hand impatiently.

Three objects appeared in front of Qu Lingjun.

As Qu Lingjun gazed at the three floating objects, his eyes lit up instantly.

"From this moment on, you are my disciple!"

"Lingjun, I pay my respects to the Master!"

Without any hesitation, Qu Lingjun knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

This was the proper etiquette for showing respect to a teacher.

A jade pendant floated out of Luo Chen's hand.

He looked at Qu Lingjun with a mysterious gaze.

"There aren't many rules in my sect."

"First, you must not defy or disrespect your teacher!"

"Second, you must not engage in evil deeds. In all your actions, you must uphold principles."

"Third..."

"Do you remember?"

Qu Lingjun suppressed his excitement and nodded firmly.

"I remember."

"In that case, make a vow to this jade pendant!"

Qu Lingjun didn't hesitate and raised his palm, speaking with the innocence of a child.

As he made his vow, the jade pendant trembled with a faint spiritual light.

When he finished, the pendant broke in half.

One half fell into Luo Chen's hand, and the other half landed in front of Qu Lingjun.

"From now on, you and I will have the name of master and disciple. You can also claim to be my disciple, Dan Chen Zi!"

Luo Chen put away the jade pendant.

This was the magic of the Soul-Binding Oath.

Unlike Wang Yuan's grand oath to uphold the Dao, this oath ensured that Qu Lingjun would not defy Luo Chen as long as his cultivation remained lower than his master's.

If he were to betray or harm his master, the backlash would cause him to lose all his cultivation.

Of course, he could also enjoy the benefits of this arrangement.

Holding the other half of the pendant, if he ever found himself in danger, no matter the distance, Luo Chen would sense it.

In essence, this method had a hint of darkness.

In major sects, they often used soul lamps or life seeds as substitutes.

Luo Chen currently lacked those means, so he had to be clever and use the Soul-Binding Oath and the jade pendant to establish their master-disciple relationship.

Moreover, if Qu Lingjun cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage on his own, the effect of this oath would significantly decrease.

But who knew when that would be.

Time would always prove some things.

Just as the words "disciple of Dan Chen Zi" were spoken, the three floating objects descended in front of Qu Lingjun.

"The first is a jade green saber, my most frequently used magical tool. Although it's a low-grade tool, it's part of a set of seven mother-child sabers. When formed into an array, its power rivals that of a high-grade magical tool."

Qu Lingjun was overjoyed.

After so many years, he had just reached the third level of Qi Refinement.

He was not far from the fourth level.

This magical tool was perfect for his future use.

"The other two are my years of alchemy insights and a Violet Cloud Brass Cauldron."

"Thank you, Master, for your generosity!"

Qu Lingjun put away the three items and sincerely bowed to Luo Chen again.

Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He had always liked this child and had nurtured him from an early age.

Even when he almost left Da He Fang to go to the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, he had asked Zhou Yuanli to take care of him.

Now that Qu Lingjun had displayed his exceptional talent for alchemy, he could inherit Luo Chen's legacy.

"You must not neglect your cultivation; your life depends on it. Without longevity, everything is an illusion!"

Qu Lingjun hesitated, "But Master, with my four Spirit Roots, is there really a chance for the Dao?"

Luo Chen smiled.

"Don't you know that I have five Spirit Roots?"

"Lingjun dares not compare himself to the Master."

Luo Chen shook his head, "Don't underestimate yourself. In the grand scheme of things, there's always a glimmer of hope. The Dao is the path to immortality."

"And my path is through alchemy."

"If you master the art of alchemy, you won't have to worry about cultivation resources!"

Qu Lingjun looked perplexed.

It wasn't until he looked down at the alchemy book in his hand, titled 'Alchemy Dust True Interpretation,' that he seemed to understand.

His gaze then fell on the Violet Cloud Brass Cauldron.

Finally, he nodded firmly.

"Disciple, I remember!"

Luo Chen hummed and waved his hand.

The bronze doors of the Alchemy Pavilion slowly opened.

Sima Huiwang and Murong Qinglian entered together.

"Sister-in-law, please register Qu Lingjun as my personal disciple."

Murong Qinglian hummed in acknowledgment.

"Huiwang, from now on, Qu Lingjun's status will be raised to the late Qi Refinement stage, and he will receive a bottle of high-grade Jade Marrow Pill and a portion of Spirit Nourishing Liquid every month."

"Don't give him too many other pills; they might affect his cultivation."

Sima Huiwang nodded immediately, her gaze on the young man filled with envy.

In their time of weakness, they never had such good fortune.

To be directly taken in as a personal disciple by a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

Even in the current Luo Tianhui, Qu Lingjun's treatment would be a unique privilege! After all, he carries the title of Luo Chen's only personal disciple.

After settling everything, Luo Chen stood up with a sudden realization.

"With all matters here concluded, I will be entering closed-door cultivation for a period of time."

"All the affairs, big and small, within the sect will be under your full authority, Huiwang."

"If there are external enemies that cannot be stopped, seek out Wang Yuan, the Hall Master."

"Postpone dealings with the major powers regarding the Jade Marrow Pill for now. As for the Fasting Pill, Mi Li will take the lead. Additionally, if Qu Lingjun wishes to refine pills, the Alchemy Hall and the Medicine Hall will provide their full support."

His voice still echoed in the hall.

But Luo Chen's figure had already disappeared without a trace.

Only Qu Hancheng's aged voice, trembling with joy, remained, drawing attention.

...

Three days later.

In the inner city of Da He Fang.

No, it should be called the Ghost City!

A lone figure, clad in Netherworld Robes and carrying a Radiant Green Lantern, walked slowly.

If anyone familiar with him were here, they would be astonished to find that this was none other than Luo Tianhui's leader, Dan Chen Zi?

He had just reached Foundation Establishment, and instead of consolidating his stage, he's come to this extremely dangerous Ghost City?"

In just a few short years, this Da He Ghost City had become increasingly perilous, even terrifying.

The number of Ghost Generals, initially just one, had now grown to a full nine!

Ghost Generals were equivalent to second-stage demonic beasts in the demon race and Foundation Establishment in the human race.

A solid second-stage combat power! Even if their minds were not clear, due to the advantage of the ghostly terrain, they often displayed strength far surpassing that of human Foundation Establishment cultivators.

For this reason, the major powers had refrained from exploring the Da He Ghost City in recent years.

They could only turn a blind eye, pretending it didn't exist.

This was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Everyone worried about the hidden dangers of the Ghost City.

Yet, they couldn't bear to give up the resources near Da He Fang.

Luo Chen could understand their thoughts, especially after chatting with the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, he gained a clearer understanding of the dangers within the Ghost City.

Among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Wang Hai Chao's Great River Gang had explored the most times.

However, the one who had ventured the deepest was Li Yixuan, the female cultivator.

She practiced the Huai Shade Art and was exceptionally skilled in controlling Yin Qi.

Previously, she had explored the Ghost City alone and reaped many benefits.

The reason she hadn't returned was that she had been besieged by two Ghost Generals and forced to leave.

So, under these circumstances, why did Luo Chen insist on going to the Da He Ghost City, abandoning stage consolidation, and exploring it?

This brings us to the reason why, some time ago, Luo Chen, on a whim, used his Spirit Eye Technique to observe the Ghost City.

In that single glance.

He clearly saw an extremely resilient Spirit Energy fluctuation deep within the Ghost City, standing out amidst the dense and eerie ghostly energy!

"That's the fluctuation of a second-stage Spirit Vein, and I'm absolutely certain I'm not mistaken!"

Walking slowly on the seemingly familiar yet unfamiliar streets, Luo Chen's heart stirred as he recalled that moment.

He had to come!

The most suitable cultivation place for a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator was a second-stage Spirit Vein.

Such places were extremely rare both inside and outside Da He Fang.

Usually, there wouldn't be many Foundation Establishment cultivators lingering in first-stage Spirit Vein areas.

Unless they were family cultivators like Mi Shuhua, Nan Gong Jin, and Li Yixuan.

Family ties and the reluctance to leave the abundant resources here kept them in place.

Or perhaps.

They were sect cultivators sent by their sect to manage the sect's businesses in remote cities and towns, given the task with a time limit.

Even if it wasn't a second-stage Spirit Vein.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators often had secret methods to aid their cultivation.

Like Mi Shuhua, who used a Spirit Gathering Formation to transform a second-stage Spirit Vein.

Or Duan Kunqian, who activated the Ice and Fire Spirit Springs to temporarily create a second-stage Spirit Vein.

But doing so required immense resources.

Therefore, they primarily assisted in pill refinement for their cultivation.

After advancing to Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen also faced this dilemma.

To break through Foundation Establishment, he frequently activated the Ice and Fire Spirit Springs.

In the end, he succeeded.

However, his accumulated mid-grade Spirit Stones were almost entirely depleted.

There were still many circulating low-grade Spirit Stones in Luo Tianhui, but they were all of inferior quality.

So, he no longer had access to a second-stage Spirit Vein.

Nor did he have any suitable second-stage Spirit Pills and Potions for cultivation.

The only suitable Imperial Stream Fluid was also unavailable due to the difficulty in finding the main ingredient and the high cost of refining, making it impractical for regular use.

He couldn't possibly kill the little red spirit he had just managed to enslave for pill refinement!

In the end, Luo Chen could only place his hopes in the Da He Ghost City.

"Phoenix Descending Mountain!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the second-stage Spirit Vein is clearly located within the Phoenix Descending Mountain."

Luo Chen recalled Sima Xian's casual words from before.

The High Stage Nascent Soul Sect had a secret method to gather and enhance Spirit Veins, raising their grade.

Heavenly Wave Immortal City was established on this foundation.

Da He Fang also had this potential!

The Spirit Vein hidden in this region was enormous.

Even after many years, the area around Da He Fang remained a place of abundant Spirit Energy.

If one were to count the numerous smaller Spirit Vein branches scattered around, it would further highlight the grandeur of the Da He Spirit Vein.

It's no wonder that such a deep and vast first-stage Spirit Vein was chosen as the foundation for an immortal city.

"Pang Ren Xiong, a Golden Core Adept, has been in Da He Fang for nearly a year!"

"He couldn't have been idle all this time!"

"The only suitable cultivation place for him is a third-stage Spirit Vein."

"Therefore, he most likely used the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect's secret method in advance to slightly enhance the grade of the Phoenix Descending Mountain's Spirit Vein."

"This should be the source of the resilient Spirit Energy fluctuation I witnessed."

Luo Chen pursed his lips and walked determinedly towards the Phoenix Descending Mountain.

The aura around him gradually became less human-like.

This was the wonder of the Great Perfection Breath Concealment Art!

Luo Chen had already mastered it long ago.

He could mimic the aura of others.

He had once used it to mimic the aura of a demon wolf and had gone unnoticed by a second-stage demon wolf.

Now, as he entered the Ghost City, he had a plan in mind.

Apart from the Netherworld Robe and the Green Firefly Lantern, which were magical tools specifically targeting ghost creatures, his cultivation and mastery of various spells were his greatest advantages!

As another dense ghost creature passed by in a daze, Luo Chen's heart was filled with determination.

Sure enough, ordinary ghosts were unable to detect him and instead treated him as one of their own.

Furthermore, due to the natural pressure from his breakthrough in cultivation, these low-level ghosts even subconsciously regarded him as a Ghost General.

"Returning to this place, the scattered cultivator market in the south of the city has already fallen into such a state of disrepair."

Looking at the numerous signboards and the wide street filled with scattered white bones, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh.

That dramatic change had indeed altered the fates of too many people.

Suddenly, Luo Chen's footsteps halted.

A pair of Spirit Eyes gazed into the distance at a dilapidated house not far away.

A figure sat cross-legged inside the house, with flags standing tall beside him, his face contorted in an extremely hideous manner.

"It's him!"

...

Luo Chen never expected to encounter this person at this time and in such a place.

Li Da!

One of the few Qi Refinement Stage 9 experts in the Great River Gang.

If that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But Li Da's unique experience piqued Luo Chen's interest.

He had once explored the cave mansion of Soul Refining Ascetic Gu Yue together with Gao Tingyuan and their subordinates.

That exploration had been fruitful for both of them, especially for Gao Tingyuan, who obtained the incomplete Soul Refining True Art.

Although it was incomplete, it provided him with another path to Foundation Establishment after his Dantian was damaged by external force.

Unfortunately, he hadn't completed this path yet when he encountered Luo Chen.

"Now even Li Yixuan dares not enter the Ghost City, but Li Da dares to come here alone. Quite a bold move."

Luo Chen had no intention of disturbing him.

His purpose for coming here was to solidify his cultivation in the Phoenix Descending Mountain's Spirit Land, and it wouldn't be wise to create unnecessary trouble.

However, just as he was about to leave, his heart stirred.

"That magical tool..."

His feet moved.

Footsteps approached from outside the house.

Li Da, with his hideous expression, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Get out!"

With a light shout, three silver needles were thrown out of his hand.

But in the next moment, the three silver needles mysteriously floated in mid-air.

"How is this possible..."

Li Da's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously tried to stand up.

However, the immense pressure forced him to remain seated, unable to move an inch.

At the entrance.

Luo Chen gestured slightly, and the three silver needles fell into his hand.

He casually brushed them, and the spirit power imprints on them disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Li Da's heart trembled.

It was that move again! Previously, Luo Chen had effortlessly deflected Wang Hai Chao's attack using what seemed to be this spell.

Now, at the Qi Refinement Stage, he was even more powerless against this move.

"What kind of magical tool is this?"

Luo Chen's voice carried a hint of interest.

Li Da, with a hoarse voice, said, "Ghost Mother Needles, a first-grade superior magical tool."

Ghost Mother Needles? Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, sensing that these three silver needles were not as simple as they appeared.

"Is it also from Soul Refining Ascetic Gu Yue?"

"Yes." Li Da's body trembled, and a black aura flashed across his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Dan Chen Zi, I swear I've done nothing to offend you. Can you let me go this time?"

"Really? But you were quite impolite just now when you attacked me!" Luo Chen chuckled.

He was right.

Indeed, very few Qi Refinement Stage cultivators dared to attack a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

The last one to do so was the person standing before him.

"Do you think you can replicate his achievements? Don't make a joke out of the Immortal Cultivation World!" Li Da's face turned pale in an instant.

With a glimmer of hope, he said, "As compensation, I'll give you the set of Ghost Mother Needles, Senior."

What a Senior! The generational gap in the Immortal Cultivation World was indeed hard to adapt to.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and looked at the flag in front of him.

"That's not enough. Unless you sell me this magical tool and then leave the city immediately."

"No!"

Instinctively, Li Da refused without hesitation.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake.

Before Luo Chen could react, Li Da's entire body rose into the air, and the flag wrapped around him, transforming him into a black wind that flew towards the rooftop.

Luo Chen watched this scene quietly.

As ten vengeful souls rushed towards him, he waved his sleeve.

A surge of pure spirit power swept out.

Wherever it passed, the ten vengeful souls were completely dispelled.

In the sky, Li Da watched with a trembling heart and mind. What kind of spell was this?

The spell was ineffective against it, the magical tool was ineffective, and even the vengeful souls had no resistance.

But to let himself be bound without a fight was absolutely impossible.

This magical tool was related to his Foundation Establishment opportunity.

"Run!"

"In this Ghost City, he wouldn't dare to pursue me openly."

Just as Li Da thought he had a chance to escape, his face changed drastically in the next moment.

Hundreds of vines, like snakes and pythons, shot up from the ground and surged towards him.

Not only that, countless green vines spread out from all directions, quickly forming a cage.

Turning around, he saw Luo Chen waving at him.

"No!"

A shrill howl disappeared into the green vine cage in an instant.

Faintly, a flash of blood appeared.

"The Grand Perfection Ensnarement Technique indeed has its merits."

Seeing this, Luo Chen nodded.

Then, a vine wrapped around a large bundle and crawled back.

Luo Chen grabbed the bundle without hesitation and left the spot.

The commotion just now would surely attract various Ghost Soldier-level ghost spirits, so it was better to leave quickly.

As expected, shortly after Luo Chen left, countless ghost spirits began to wander from all directions.

They gathered at the spot, looking confused as they didn't find any enemies.

It wasn't until a tall Ghost General arrived that they slowly dispersed.
