Yunli sighed, it seemed that she couldn't expect to rush during the day to avoid danger.
After confirming her invisibility, breathing and communication status again, she stepped into the city gate. The long street was dark, only a little better than being invisible. The streets were bustling, and as far as she could see, they were all ghost cultivators!
Even though they had been prepared, Yunli still couldn't help but feel numb when seeing this scene. Their move was tantamount to breaking into a ghost's nest and having to come in again.
His fingertips tapped the crystal on his waist, and in the next second, two wisps of breeze blew up around him. In the whistling night wind, these two wisps of breeze were insignificant and could easily be ignored.
Those were the two female cultivators from Hehuan Valley, Song Qi and Qian Yuan. After them, Yunli floated up and entered the city third.
During the day, they made a precise plan to search the city. After Yunli, there were Shi Liang from Purgatory Valley, Zhou Jun from Tianzhumen, then Wei Lin, and then Li Ming and Cheng Yu from Phantom Palace.
In this way, if any one person is exposed, Yunli and Weilin will be able to provide timely reinforcements to ensure the safety of everyone to the greatest extent.
Considering that the ghost cultivator's soul is powerful and the sound transmission may be detected, Yunli specially made several crystal stones to transmit the message.
This is a secret communication method of the Phoenix Clan. The advantage is that it is extremely secretive, and even the Immortal Lord of Jiuzhong Xingque can hardly detect it. The disadvantage is that only the sound of crystal stones can convey limited information.
However, it is enough to deal with the current situation.
Yunli carefully avoided the ghost cultivator on the street and turned into the sixth shop. This was a small shop selling paper utensils, with lifelike paper swords, paper knives, paper houses, and paper boats.
The scariest thing is the paper-tied people, there are men and women, old and young, their mouths and eyes are scarlet, and combined with the dim lights in the store, it's really scary.
Business in the shop was very good, and the ghost cultivators who came to buy paper utensils almost crowded the shop. Yunli almost twisted herself into a twist to avoid them.
She searched every corner of the shop and found no trace of living people. She returned the same way and returned to the street. Then she secretly exhaled and prepared to go to the twelfth shop.
"Hey, these low-level ghost weapons are of no use. Even a thunder beast can't stop it from sneezing." A contemptuous voice sounded next to her. Yunli looked over and saw a man leaning against the door of the paper shop. He raised his head slightly and showed a hint of arrogance.
Facing his sarcasm, the customers in the paperware shop either looked sullen or had anger in their eyes, but they pretended not to hear and continued to buy paperware enthusiastically.
Yunli glanced at him, then looked away, and left quickly. The second generation ancestor was everywhere.
Shops were searched one by one. Soon, the eight people had searched all the shops on the street. Without any clues, they turned to the next street.
As time passed, everyone became more and more skillful in avoiding ghost cultivators and searching stores. Yunli also got some information from the conversations between ghost cultivators.
They gathered here to go to a place called Guiwang Mountain to seal a monster.
From their words, it is not difficult to tell that the monster is very strong, stronger than any ghost cultivator in the Ghost Secret Realm.
A long time ago, their ancestors paid a heavy price to seal it. However, the monsters were fierce and kept hitting the seal. It needed to be reinforced every hundred years. To strengthen the seal, all the ghost cultivators in the city had to work hard.
Therefore, in the paper shop, those low-level ghost cultivators would rush to buy ghost weapons in order to come back alive.
This matter had nothing to do with them, so Yunli didn't take it to heart and continued their search. When they reached the third street, she felt the soft sound of the crystal in her hand.
It was Shi Liang from her latter family who sent the news, and he found the clue.
Yunli hurriedly sent the news to the others and ducked over. After they met, Shi Liang took her to the backyard of the shop and gently removed a few dead leaves in the corner of the yard. There was a small drop of blood at the junction of the wall and mud.
The blood stains had dried up and turned dark brown, but Yunli still recognized from the remaining aura that it was the blood of the Jindan stage leader of the Phantom Palace.
She was deeply impressed by the leader. She remembered that the young man named Duan Xingyi escaped first, but was caught by him in a panic and dragged into the secret realm.
Was he killed?
Yunli's heart sank slightly. An Ran was also in the golden elixir stage. Although she practiced diligently and became exquisite in swordsmanship, she had never experienced a life-and-death battle. This time in the ghost secret realm, ghost cultivators were good at soul power attacks. I don't know if she could handle it. Gotta come?
Soon, Yunli suppressed her worries, carefully opened her senses, and explored her surroundings one by one. She found the remaining aura of another Phantom Palace disciple and a psychedelic array under a tree!
A psychedelic array laid out by spiritual power.
Did they hide in the formation? Yunli frowned, feeling something was strange.
At this time, Shi Liang also discovered the psychedelic array. He thought Yunli didn't notice it, so he knocked on the crystal stone to remind her.
Yunli's heart suddenly twitched, and even Shi Liang could see the psychedelic formation. There was no reason that a ghost cultivator with a powerful spirit couldn't see it.
Even if they are chased and lost, they should be investigated carefully.
Obviously, this psychedelic array set up by human spiritual power is a carefully laid trap.
She hurriedly tapped the spar to signal Shi Liang to leave quickly, and at the same time sent a message to others that they might have fallen into the trap.
As soon as I left the backyard, I felt a strong aura falling outside the door, "Surround it up, no ghosts are allowed to leave!"
Following the majestic order, a ghost cultivator named Xuanyi held a jet-black spear and stood up in all directions, surrounding the shop without falling from the sky or the ground.
The weapons of these ghost cultivators are unified, and there is not much difference in their cultivation level. Any one of them is stronger than the female ghost in white that they encountered before. They look like guards in the city.
The crystal on his waist made a sharp sound. It was Shi Liang who was so panicked that he kept asking. Yunli tapped the crystal lightly, indicating that he should be calm and wait and see first.
At the same time, she carefully recalled the route she took and the things she touched after entering the courtyard.
This group of ghost guards came just now. Apparently they only learned about it after she entered the backyard. There should be second-hand preparations left by ghost cultivators around the psychedelic array to prevent them from being fooled.
After surrounding the shop, the two ghost guards went straight to the backyard, and soon came out again, raising their voices and reporting back: "Chief, there is no one."
The leader of the ghost guards snorted coldly, slowly rose into the air, raised his hands and pressed down, and the majestic Yin Qi suddenly poured in. Many weak ghost cultivators couldn't bear it and were knocked to the ground on the spot.
Yunli was a little surprised. In terms of soul alone, the weakest ghost cultivator present was stronger than Shi Liang. However, Shi Liang could withstand it, but these ghost cultivators could not.
It seems that the body's protection of human cultivation is much stronger than imagined.
"Humph, it's still a big fish!" Before he finished speaking, a piccolo suddenly appeared in the hand of the leader of the ghost guards.
The sound attack is no more powerful than other soul attacks, but it attacks without distinction between friend and foe.
When he blew it, not only she and Shi Liang would be exposed, but also other people in nearby shops.
