Chapter 567 My Lord!
There are many hungry ghosts in the inner ring of the ghost domain, so Huanyin did not dare to fly in the air. However, with his current cultivation and means, even if he just flies close to the ground like now, constantly shuttling between buildings and trees, the speed is also very fast. Moreover, this way of moving, combined with his ability to hide his breath, makes it almost impossible for him to be discovered by the hungry ghosts around him.
Therefore, with Huanyin's hard work, he only took less than an hour and a half to successfully step into the dense forest on the east side of the terrifying mountain.
Huanyin tapped his toes lightly, and landed on the trunk of a nearby big tree like a ghost, and temporarily fell silent. Not long after he hid, a team of hungry ghosts dressed in uniform, who were obviously on patrol, passed quickly below him.
"Damn it, those demon cultivators are really good at looking for trouble, making our ghost domain so restless. I should have been drinking tea at home now, but now I have to come here to search for them. If I really catch them, I will send them to the fighting demon field one by one!" A rather sturdy hungry ghost in the patrol team cursed.
"Hush, keep your voice down, Ghost Two is also patrolling nearby. His eldest brother really intercepted a demon cultivator last month. As a result... As a result, there were a dozen good players in his eldest brother's team, and they were all killed by the seriously injured demon cultivator. Now Ghost Two will go crazy as long as he hears the word "demon cultivator", and will kill anyone who mentions it." Another hungry ghost in the same team lowered his voice and reminded.
"Is he really that powerful? He is still so good at fighting even after being seriously injured?" The sturdy hungry ghost was obviously startled, and his voice instantly became much smaller.
"Humph, isn't it? They even have the courage to pretend to be ghosts, how can they be ordinary people? If you ask me, if we really run into a demon cultivator, it's better to beg for mercy. You still want to kill them, can you do it?"
Huan Yin followed this team of demon cultivators for a short distance, and found that what they were talking about was of no help to him, so he turned around and continued to move towards the Terrible Mountain.
On the way, Huan Yin encountered many patrols composed of hungry ghosts. Some of them were weak, and some were quite strong. However, what they talked about were all things that Huan Yin already knew, or some exaggerated nonsense. Therefore, even if Huan Yin followed them for a while like before, he still didn't get any meaningful news.
After moving forward a distance into the depths of the dense forest, Huan Yin and the Terrible Mountain were probably less than ten miles away. While flying, Huan Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped and landed on the ground.
After carefully observing the surroundings and making sure there were no problems, Huan Yin squatted down carefully and reached out to sweep away a few dead leaves on the ground.
After the dead leaves were swept away, a bloody "辶" emerged on the land that was originally covered by it, mixed with the yellow soil on the ground, and looked a little looming.
"It's the mark of the organization. They really escaped here!" Huan Yin showed joy on his face, looking at the inconspicuous "辶", knowing that it was written a little crooked, like the meaning of a symbol formed by chance.
"I don't know which fellows are still alive, and I don't know how Zhang Tao, the old slave, is doing." Huan Yin raised his face, his expression changed several times, and flew out again, heading towards the direction of the terrifying mountain.
A distance of more than ten miles is very short for a cultivator like Huan Yin, but Huan Yin walked for a full hour in such a short distance because he carefully looked for the organization's mark.
During this hour, Huan Yin found a total of four "辶", almost one every three or four miles. The last one he found was at the foot of the Terrible Mountain.
Avoiding a patrolling group of hungry ghosts, Huan Yin narrowed his eyes and forgot about the high mountain beside him, and said to himself with certainty: "They must be here."
After saying this, Huan Yin flashed and rushed into the jungle again, finding a remote place to hide temporarily.
Huan Yin knew that it was too early now, and it was the time when the hungry ghosts were searching most frequently. The Terrible Mountain was bare, and if he rushed up the mountain rashly, he could not guarantee that he would not be discovered by the hungry ghosts.
Now Huan Yin had to wait, and when the many hungry ghosts had finished their work, he could take the opportunity to go up the mountain to look for more clues.
Time passed quickly while hiding and waiting. Huan Yin hid in the dense forest, watching the patrolling hungry ghosts passing by him again and again, until four hours later, the 48th team of hungry ghosts he met walked over, cursing and talking loudly.
"It's time to call it a day! Damn, this job is too hard. I've been searching for a month and got nothing. It's so boring!"
"Isn't it? I'm just looking for something to do. Could it be that this search will become a routine job in the future? I really hate those demon cultivators!"
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Huan Yin said to himself: "Is it time to call it a day? That's great."
Huan Yin knew that there would be hungry ghosts responsible for searching patrolling back and forth later. However, the number of patrolling hungry ghosts at that time would be much smaller, and their patrol frequency would be greatly reduced. They would almost just take a look and do things carelessly. Therefore, there would be no trouble if Huan Yin took action at that time.
After waiting for another half an hour, when Huan Yin was sure that most of the patrolling hungry ghosts around had dispersed, he looked at the terrifying mountain not far away, flashed, and rushed over in an instant.
Huan Yin was proficient in Taoism and had the faceless bodyguard, so his figure was like a ghost in the forest. He soon arrived at the foot of the mountain and went up the mountain without hesitation.
After a while, Huan Yin came to the mountainside and hid behind a big rock. Just when he wanted to look around for the organization's mark, Huan Yin accidentally lowered his head and saw a "辶" written on the ground again.
With a slight smile, Huan Yin thought that the companion who left the secret code was very careful, and even guessed that the organization members would probably hide behind this boulder after going up the mountain.
Looking back, Huan Yin set his sights on the top of the mountain. He knew that this was not the end, because the mark of the end had not appeared yet.
After observing the situation below the mountain from behind the big rock, Huan Yin confirmed again that the hungry ghosts below the mountain would not discover him, and then he flashed out from behind the big rock and floated to the top of the mountain like a breeze.
Along the way, Huan Yin searched very carefully. Because he knew that the "辶" mark appeared on the mountainside, which meant that the hiding place of the organization members was above the mountainside. The area above the mountainside was not large, so he might come to the real end at any time, and he might miss the end at any time.
Unknowingly, Huan Yin had reached the top of the mountain. When he was shocked to find that he had reached the end, he suddenly became a little nervous.
"Could it be that the companions who left the signal were chased here and eventually died?" Huan Yin thought so, and then he began to gently brush the gravel and dust on the top of the mountain with his hands, searching inch by inch.
After a while, on the left side of the mountaintop, a very small "Shield" word was dug out by Huan Yin and appeared in the mixed soil.
His eyes lit up, and Huan Yin knew that this was the place where the organization members were hiding. However, he observed repeatedly but did not find any clues that someone was hiding here.
Huan Yin knew that the members of the organization were good at hiding, changing and concealing their breath. The best proof was that they could all disguise themselves as hungry ghosts. So it was normal for Huan Yin to not find any clues without releasing his spiritual consciousness. Moreover, even if Huan Yin released his spiritual consciousness, he would probably not find any clues. After all, the hungry ghosts should have searched here many times, but they had no results.
"I hope Zhang Tao is here too." Huan Yin thought so, and then he released a ray of spiritual consciousness very cautiously, but not for investigation, but to establish contact with Zhang Tao.
Huan Yin and Zhang Tao had a special relationship, and they could sense each other through the Soul Binding Technique. Especially because Huan Yin was the master, he strengthened the effectiveness of the Soul Binding Technique on Zhang Tao when he left the inner ring three months ago, so even if he wanted to sense Zhang Tao in the Heart Island, it would not be difficult for him to even control Zhang Tao.
However, in order to ensure his own safety, Huan Yin had already completely stopped breathing when he entered the Heart Island, and did not dare to release any spiritual sense for sensing. Therefore, until just now, Huan Yin had actually been disconnected from Zhang Tao for three months. Now he had no idea what Zhang Tao had done during his absence, what choice he made when the disaster was imminent, whether he was still alive, and whether he was still with the members of the organization.
However, for Huan Yin now, if he could directly sense Zhang Tao at the place where the organization left the end mark, it would probably be the most direct and safest way for him to find his companions. If he could not sense Zhang Tao, he would have no choice but to boldly release more spiritual sense to try to sense other members of the organization hiding here.
After releasing his spiritual sense slightly, Huan Yin started to operate the Soul Binding Technique. For Huan Yin, this was not a difficult task. Especially because the target location he wanted to explore was right in front of him, which was even easier for him.
Almost at the moment when Huan Yin released his spiritual consciousness in conjunction with the Soul Binding Technique, the induction that was engraved in Huan Yin's heart like an instinct came as expected. Then, a surprised old man's voice sounded in Huan Yin's mind.
"My Lord!"
