Chapter 565 Return to the Inner Ring
The moment the Pus-Bag Ghost General's grandfather heard the words of the Great Elder, his face suddenly turned pale. Even though the Great Elder was right in front of him, he didn't care. He just released his spiritual consciousness frantically, covering the situation of the entire Heart Island.
Almost instantly, the Pus-Bag Ghost General's grandfather found the two hungry ghosts lying in the stone forest in the west of the Heart Island. One of them was his grandson's personal servant, and the other was his precious grandson.
"Grandson!" The Pus-Bag Ghost General's grandfather cried out in shock, and even didn't care about saluting the Great Elder. He flew up directly and disappeared from the venue in the blink of an eye.
After the Pus-Bag Ghost General's grandfather disappeared, the faces of many ghost lords in the entire venue began to become a little solemn. Sharp spiritual consciousness surged from their consciousness thresholds and swept towards every corner of the entire Heart Island.
The ghost lords present were all extremely powerful, and their spiritual power was naturally extraordinary. After so many powerful consciousnesses appeared, the pressure on Huan Yin suddenly increased. Especially the consciousnesses of the ghost lords, which made him tremble with fear, fearing that he would be discovered if he was not careful.
With cold sweat flowing down his back, Huan Yin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he never said a word. Under the cover of Wumian, he was like an ordinary rock, motionless.
Huan Yin believed in Wumian's power, and at this most critical moment, Wumian did not disappoint him. Even though the consciousness of the great elder swept over him no less than three times, he did not find his existence at all. This made him have no accidents even though he was almost only a few feet away from those terrifying and powerful ghost lords.
Huan Yin's eyes were fixed on the great elder who had just turned around, and his memory of the appearance of the hungry ghost who might have mastered the method of escaping from the ghost realm continued to deepen in his heart.
It was an old hungry ghost face, and it could be vaguely seen that it was somewhat similar to Lu Xin. However, this face is obviously more stable, more vicissitudes, and more ferocious. Especially the mysterious feeling on this face, which seems to be born, makes Huan Yin feel dizzy after looking at it, as if he will be completely trapped in it if he stares at it for a long time, and it is difficult to extricate himself.
With Huan Yin's cultivation and concentration, it is natural that he will not be affected by the Great Elder without performing any Taoist magic. But he knows very well that he will be affected by the Great Elder just by looking at him. This not only means that there is a huge gap between his cultivation and the Great Elder, but also means that the Great Elder is a strong man with great supernatural powers. And such great supernatural powers are by no means ordinary Taoist magic.
"Ancestor, you have to help me remember his appearance. One day, we will come here to find him again." Huan Yin sent a voice message to Xue Buping.
Xue Buping responded solemnly this time: "Don't worry, I will never forget the scar on his face."
Yes, there is actually a shocking scar on the face of the elder, starting from his left eye, across his entire face, and all the way to his chin. This scar makes his face as a hungry ghost look even more hideous. I'm afraid this is also the best evidence that he followed the ghost king to fight in the past.
"Elder, it seems... there seems to be nothing unusual." Not long after, when all the ghosts had scanned the entire Heart Island several times, a middle-aged ghost said.
The elder nodded and said in a deep voice: "No abnormality is the biggest abnormality. A ghost general in the early stage of life, do you think he would faint in the stone forest of my heart island for no reason?"
Waving his sleeves, the elder faced all the ghosts and shouted: "Notify the whole island to impose martial law, and search the heart island inch by inch. This is the most central place in my ghost domain, and there is no room for any mistakes. Especially near the Ghost King Palace, you must search carefully. If the bad guys peek at the ghost king's road, it will be bad!"
After that, the elder grabbed Lu Xin, jumped up, and disappeared in the field in a few flashes. Looking at the direction he fled, it was obviously heading towards the Ghost King Palace.
After the elder disappeared, the other ghosts naturally followed the order, without retracting their spiritual consciousness, and ran in different directions, notifying the patrolling hungry ghosts on the heart island while searching carefully.
Ten breaths later, the entire Xindao meeting place was empty, leaving only Huanyin beside him, panting like a survivor.
"Ancestor, we have to prepare to return to the inner ring." Huanyin knew that now was his best chance to escape, so he smiled knowingly, flashed out from the rocks like a ghost, crossed the Xindao meeting place, and headed for the edge of the Xindao.
Not long after, the entire Xindao was like a pot of boiling water, and hungry ghosts of varying cultivation were constantly searching for invaders everywhere. However, they did not notice, and they could not have imagined that in the place where many ghost lords had just finished their meeting, a demon was taking advantage of the venue's proximity to the seaside and quietly moving towards the seaside. After a while, he plunged into the sea, as if he had never appeared on Xindao before...
Two days later, at the seaside of the inner ring of the ghost domain, Huanyin, dressed in a white robe, carefully climbed out of the water and walked to the shore.
This time, Huan Yin chose the original route when he came back from Xindao. Because he had the aura of a dragon and the aura of the spirit-descending method, the road was quite smooth. Huan Yin did not encounter any attacks from sea monsters and easily returned.
"Damn, I'm finally back. You've done a great deed this time. You must let Jiang Chu, that old man, give you some benefits, otherwise you'll suffer." Xue Buping's voice sounded a little excited.
After shaking his arms, Huan Yin's face was not good. He hesitated for a while and said with some worry: "The leader... I don't know how he is now. I hope everything is fine."
Huan Yin did not forget that among all the ghost marquises, only Ghost Marquis Li did not attend the Xindao meeting. If this strange thing is a coincidence, it would be a joke.
Carefully calling out the power of Wumian, Huan Yin once again returned to the same turtle breathing state as when he was in Xindao. Then he took off, and in a few flashes, he disappeared at the seaside, and flew towards the direction of the Ghost Marquis Mansion in his memory.
Not long after, Huan Yin came to the side of the Ghost Marquis Mansion again. The Ghost Marquis Mansion at this moment seemed to be no different from what Huan Yin remembered, but the four hungry ghost guards who should have stood at the gate of the mansion were no longer there.
"Something has happened in the mansion!" Huan Yin's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he sent a voice message to Xue Buping.
Xue Buping also fell silent at this moment, and he obviously found something wrong. However, after a while, he still said: "Could it be... Could it be that the four of them went out for a walk?"
"Walk?" Huan Yin's voice was a little unpleasant.
"Look at the mansion gate and the courtyard wall, and those roofs. Can't you see that they have all been renovated? This... Could it be that this place has experienced a war and has just been renovated again?"
This time, Xue Buping didn't say anything anymore. The current situation is really very bad. Even the heartless Xue Buping began to worry more and more about Ghost Marquis Li.
With a grit of his teeth, Huan Yin's body flew out of the air, and under the blessing of the time method, he instantly flashed to a roof in the outer courtyard of Ghost Marquis Li's mansion, and squatted down carefully.
Huan Yin's move was undoubtedly quite bold, but he knew that he was in the inner ring, not in the heart island. The hungry ghosts here are not as strong as those in Xindao, and there are fewer patrolling hungry ghosts, and there is no such consciousness that constantly sweeps within the area. Therefore, he is still somewhat confident in doing this.
After confirming his own status and feeling that he is foolproof, Huan Yin stood up cautiously and looked around. This look made Huan Yin's heart sink even lower.
Similar to what Huan Yin had seen before, the entire Ghost Marquis Mansion still maintains its original appearance, and the building shapes have not changed much. But with his experience, how could he not tell that those houses and buildings are almost all newly built, and they are intentionally restored to their old appearance?
"This is no longer the Ghost Marquis Mansion. A great war took place here, and almost everything was destroyed. Now, someone deliberately restored everything here, obviously wanting to lure members of my organization into the trap! From this point of view, although the organization has suffered a disaster, there must be someone who escaped. However, I don't know if the leader escaped. With his cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult." Huan Yin quickly guessed most of what happened in the Ghost Marquis Mansion.
"Second Ancestor, what should we do now? I'm afraid everything about the escape organization has been discovered." Xue Buping also saw the problem a little thoroughly, so he asked.
Huan Yin's eyes moved sideways and soon fell on the two hungry ghost guards not far from him. Huan Yin didn't recognize these two hungry ghost guards at all. Obviously, they were replaced later. At this moment, the two of them were whispering to each other, talking about something.
"There will always be some shrimp soldiers and crab generals who can't help but discuss right and wrong. Let's listen to what they are saying first." Huan Yin responded to Xue Buping while rushing behind the courtyard wall where the two hungry ghosts were.
