Chapter 553 Ghost King Palace
After Huan Yin activated the faceless power to the maximum and ensured that he and Xue Buping's auras were well hidden, he turned into a stream of light and quickly followed the path he planned on the map towards the Ghost King Palace. go ahead.
Along the way, although Huan Yin was extremely fast, he was also extremely cautious. Because he knows very well that the Ghost King's Palace is the most central place in the entire ghost domain. The closer it is to it, the stronger the protection and patrol forces will be. If he is accidentally discovered, he may die instantly without a burial place. .
Huan Yin had even thought about it. He would not really come into contact with the Ghost King Palace unless absolutely necessary. At most, he would just wander around it. After all, the Ghost King's Palace is too sacred a place for hungry ghosts. Huan Yin doesn't believe that he can walk within the scope of the Ghost King's Palace at will with his current power as a fate-realm demon cultivator.
The further he went, the more correct Huan Yin's judgment became. Along the way, it was only a short distance, but Huan Yin had already encountered no less than five groups of patrolling hungry ghosts. The cultivation levels of these patrolling hungry ghosts are quite advanced, and one of them even has a higher level of cultivation than Huan Yin. Fortunately, Huan Yin had the Faceless Treasure to hide him, and by acting cautiously, he was able to keep his journey safe.
It is obvious that in the area where Huan Yin is currently located, the patrol force is far stronger than in the outer areas of Heart Island, and the cultivation level of the hungry ghosts patrolling is much higher than that of those in the outer areas. But even so, after Huan Yin crossed a certain distance, Xue Buping's slightly worried voice still came out: "Second Ancestor, the situation seems to be a bit wrong, you have to be careful."
Huan Yin nodded but did not respond. He knew what Xue Buping was talking about. Judging from what was drawn on the map, Huan Yin was now very close to the Ghost King's Palace. Although there are indeed a lot more patrolling hungry ghosts here, and they are a lot stronger, Huan Yin didn't even notice the slightest bit of protective power. This is really strange.
You know, this is near the Ghost King's Palace. According to common sense, a large number of sentries and protective formations should be placed here to ensure absolute safety. After all, this place is completely different from the place Huan Yin passed before. It is the real core area of the entire ghost domain, and the necessity of protection is self-evident. However, the Ghost Lord of Heart Island didn't seem to think about protecting this most sacred area of the Ghost Domain at all, giving the impression of a completely neglectful attitude.
Huan Yin didn't believe that the ghost princes in the Heart Island would really not take this place seriously. If they thought so, it would only put Huan Yin himself into a very bad situation. He knew that the weaker the protection here seemed, the more dangerous it was. After all, the power of protection must exist, it's just that Huan Yin hasn't discovered it yet.
After maintaining high speed and moving forward for about thirty breaths, the golden light transformed by Huan Yin suddenly flashed deep in the stone forest, and he turned into a human figure again.
With his figure revealed, Huan Yin wore a white Taoist robe covering his whole body, looking quite dashing. However, unlike his temperament, his face was now full of solemnity, and his eyes were constantly scanning around.
According to the map, the distance between Huan Yin and the area where the Ghost King Palace is located is probably less than thirty feet. This distance is already extremely close, but the line of sight is blocked in the stone forest, so I can't feel it at all.
Now, Huan Yin is a little afraid to move forward, because even in this place, Huan Yin still has not encountered any protective force, which is really strange. What's even more strange is that since Huan Yin entered the area fifty feet away from the Ghost King's Palace, even the patrolling hungry ghosts have disappeared. This obviously means that the hungry ghosts are not patrolling here at all.
"What the hell is going on?" Huan Yin was extremely depressed now. He was a little confused about the protection and patrol methods here that completely violated logic. And according to Huan Yin's judgment, those powerful and mysterious Heart Island Ghost Lords are holding the so-called Heart Island Ghost Lords meeting in the area in front of him, so now he does not dare to use even the slightest bit of spiritual consciousness and can only Observe with the naked eye. This made Huan Yin's situation even more difficult. He was afraid that he would accidentally step into a certain defensive formation, be caught instantly, or even be killed directly.
After Huan Yin's words fell, there was a long silence. He knew that this meant that Xue Buping could not give him any useful advice, and he was still at a loss. He shook his head helplessly, and a trace of bitterness that was difficult to conceal appeared on Huan Yin's face.
"At this point, I can only bite the bullet." Huan Yin sighed and carefully looked at the road he was about to set foot on several times. After confirming that it should be fine, he cautiously walked forward again.
This time, Huan Yin did not walk very fast, because every time he took a step forward, he would observe it for a long time with extreme caution. In addition, the path in the stone forest was full of twists and turns, so it seemed that the straight distance was only thirty feet, but it took Huan Yin half a moment to walk.
Half a moment later, Huan Yin turned out of a path in the stone forest. He knew that judging from what was drawn on the map, turning off this path would lead to the area where the Ghost King's Palace was located.
Huan Yin's breath had been held for a long time. He had confirmed several times before that there should be no accidents when turning from this road. However, when he was actually standing outside the path, he still couldn't help but look shocked, and quickly moved back and retracted.
This is not because Huan Yin encountered a hungry ghost or some protective force, but when he turned off the path, he saw a flat open area. If he walked into that area so arrogantly, he would be easily discovered by the hungry ghosts without the cover of the stone forest.
"Damn it, the map didn't even show that the Ghost King Palace was on a flat ground. My whereabouts were almost exposed." Huan Yin cursed in his heart, and cold sweat dripped down his back. The mistake just now almost made his action fail completely.
After calming down, Huan Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Along the way, his spirit has been in a highly tense state. Although he has not encountered any accidents, his mental strength is a bit exhausted.
"Those ghost lords should be in front." Huan Yin encouraged himself and told himself that this mission was about to be completed. Then, he carefully poked his head out from behind a stone pillar that blocked his body again, and looked in the direction of the empty space just now.
The color of the empty space was no different from the color of the entire Heart Island, it was completely white. However, the size of this empty space was probably two hundred feet in radius. Because there was almost no cover inside, the feeling of coldness here was particularly strong, which made Huanyin's breathing slightly hurried after seeing it.
There was not a single hungry ghost. At least, Huanyin did not see any hungry ghosts in the empty space that he could see clearly at a glance without releasing his spiritual sense to explore.
"How could this be? Aren't those ghost lords holding a meeting here?" Huanyin felt a little strange. Although he thought that those ghost lords might go directly to the Ghost King Hall for a meeting, after all, the Ghost King Hall was too sacred for hungry ghosts, so this possibility should be minimal.
Finally, with some doubts and contradictory thoughts, Huanyin moved his eyes to the center of the empty space, where the Ghost King Hall was located.
The magnificent hall is no longer the white color, but a bit like brown. This is probably the original color of the building material that looks like jade but is not jade. The hall is crystal clear, but it is opaque and looks quite strange. Even with Huan Yin's knowledge, he doesn't know what materials are used to build this hall.
The architectural style of the hall is quite conventional, completely different from the many buildings Huan Yin has seen in this ghost domain. It is not ostentatious, and there is no sense of hideous horror. It is completely like an orthodox Taoist temple. Especially the material of this hall is strange. If you stare at it for a long time, you will feel that there is a moderate and peaceful atmosphere lingering around the entire hall, and you can even feel a Taoist fairy idea.
Such a hall, not to mention that it does not look like something in this ghost domain, even if it is placed in the whole hell, it is completely out of place. Such an architectural style, I am afraid that Huan Yin is the only one who has seen it among the demon cultivators in the whole hell, because this style is basically the architectural style of the human world!
If there weren't eight huge, ferocious and terrifying Rakshasa statues around the hall, the whole hall would not even be worthy of this ghost island.
With his mouth wide open, Huan Yin was breathing rapidly, and even forgot that he should be careful and cautious. His mind was almost blank, and the shock made Huan Yin's mind only have one sentence constantly circling: "Isn't this the Wuliang Hall?"
