Dust swirled around, turning everyone into figures caked in mud.
"We’re in trouble, Yun Ran hasn’t co out yet!"
Uncle Gu looked around and didn’t see Yun Ran’s figure; his face covered in dust was indiscernible, but the urgency in his voice was clear.
Old Master Gu checked his grandson and saw he looked perilously injured, but in reality, there were no wounds. Although sowhat perplexed, he was ultimately relieved.
Only then did he turn to his two nephews: "What exactly happened!"
The two Uncle Gus, upon seeing Old Master Gu, were like bullied children finally seeing their parent.
They hurriedly spilled the beans, recounting everything that had happened without leaving out a single detail.
"Unfortunately, we were discovered, and in the urgent situation, Yun Ran probably didn’t have enough ti to escape."
Old Master Gu’s eyes narrowed slightly; as the saying goes, with age cos cunning. He quickly extracted the ssage Yun Ran wanted to convey from those words.
"There must be a Magic Artifact or Array capable of opening the Ghost World nearby the clubhouse. The entrance was discovered by a big shot from the Ghost World and destroyed, causing the clubhouse to collapse directly."
If they could find the thod to open the Ghost World, perhaps they would still have a chance to save Yun Ran.
Now, ti is money.
The powerful figures from the Xuan Sect previously summoned to Huannan by Xie Xuzhi hurried over, and with their arrival.
They quickly found an ancient-looking but mysteriously charged large seal among the ruins of the clubhouse.
"This seal is one-ti use, and it’s a pity it’s broken. Soone must have seen the original and made this imitation."
But even an imitation such as this had enough power to open the entrance to the Ghost World without detection.
This ant that their enemy’s strength far exceeded their expectations, and just the materials of this large seal were not sothing ordinary people could gather.
Imdiately, the expressions on everyone’s faces grew grim.
When Xie Xuzhi arrived, his gaze towards the Zhao Family’s clubhouse, now collapsed into rubble, was so cold it seed it could freeze people to death.
Gu Yuan cautiously reported the previous events to Xie Xuzhi, and even though Xie Xuzhi already knew the details, hearing them again still aroused an angry emotion.
Over the years, very few things could stir his emotions, but this ti, what Zhao Mingzhu had done filled him with intense revulsion.
No matter how useful the Zhao Family had been as pawns, at this mont, Xie Xuzhi had already decided to replace them, and as for the voices within the Xie Family, he could choose to ignore them!
"Eldest young master, it’s my fault. I overestimated myself. Even though Yun Ran had predicted my fate and warned , I still harbored hope and let her take on the deadly calamity that was mine. She could have left the Ghost World smoothly..."
Xie Xuzhi slightly raised his eyelids to look at Gu Yuan. To bla Gu Yuan? Not really, he wasn’t soone who displaced his anger onto others.
But, because Gu Yuan didn’t follow the order to withdraw, leading to Yun Ran being trapped in the Ghost World, Xie Xuzhi wouldn’t lighten the matter just because Gu Yuan was his confidant.
"Once this is over, confine yourself for three months of solitary!"
If it were normal tis, Gu Yuan would certainly feign ignorance and act foolish. Not to speak of three months in solitary confinent, even three hours would make him feel as if he were losing his life.
The solitary confinent of the Special Administration Bureau was a punishnt for those in the Xuan Sect who made mistakes, tailored specifically for them. Without shedding a layer of skin, one couldn’t co out.
But in this mont, Gu Yuan was willing to accept his punishnt. If Yun Ran died in the Ghost World, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Trapped in the Ghost World, Yun Ran covered herself with the silk her junior brother had given her, dodging here and there.
Back then, she used to criticize her junior brother for ’not doing his proper job’ and studying so ghost cultivator stuff. This silk fabric was refined by him, capable of blending in with ghost cultivators’ magic artifacts.
She thought the silk fabric looked quite nice at the ti, so she reluctantly accepted it, never expecting that it would actually co in handy now.
The Ghost King wandered outside for a while, looking left and right, before cautiously approaching Yun Ran.
"Master, previously, you not only split the Ghost Gate with rit but also shattered the Ghost General’s Execution Seal with Dragon Spirit.
Now, the outside checks are extrely strict; it’s said that every three steps there’s a sentry, every five there’s a post, and that’s no exaggeration. If you’re thinking about finding a place to open the Ghost Gate anew, I’m afraid it’s not happening."
[Host, what do we do now? You can’t hide here for long, the big shots of the Ghost World have all been alard.
If they don’t capture you and throw you into the frying pan for a sizzle, they’ll lose all face. Not to ntion, Dragon Spirit is a great tonic; you’re now the Ghost World’s Most Wanted.]
"What can I do? Just go with the flow!"
The Dragon Spirit, an attractive target for ghosts wanting a bite, is now leisurely swirling around as a tattoo over Yun Ran’s heart.
The Ghost King and Ginsengfruit are both extrely anxious, but it’s Yun Ran and the Dragon Spirit, the doers of the deed, who are acting as if nothing’s happened.
[Open the door!]
Hearing the Ghost Soldier’s voice from outside, the Ghost King becos shocked and looks frenetically at Yun Ran.
"Master..."
"Show so Ghost King spirit! If I’m really found out, just say that I coerced you and then lead the way in capturing !"
Such a timid Ghost King made Yun Ran speechless.
But having no other options, she could only make do with what she had.
The Ghost King sohow finds her backbone at Yun Ran’s words, imdiately standing up straight with a commanding energy as she opens the door.
When the Ghost Soldiers see that the one opening the door is a ghost soon to be promoted to Great Ghost King, they quickly step back several paces, also lowering their heads.
These Ghost Soldiers are only slightly more powerful than those evil ghosts who have lost their spiritual wisdom.
But in the presence of a higher-level ghost, they shudder in fear, worried about being devoured if the other party takes a disliking to them.
"Scram!"
The Ghost Soldiers imdiately scram, not daring to linger even a mont longer.
Chasing away the Ghost Soldiers, there won’t be any other Ghost Soldiers coming this way for a while.
This buys Yun Ran a bit of ti to rest as she was also injured when the Dragon Roar shattered the Execution Seal.
Yun Ran releases a Little Paperman to protect her as she begins breathing control to heal.
[Host, you’re really okay with trusting this Ghost King? Rember you caught her before; if she decides to betray you...]
Yun Ran has rit and Dragon Spirit on her, both of which are great tonics; if the Ghost King harbors bad intentions, then Yun Ran will truly be between a rock and a hard place.
"Do you think I’m stupid? Although I lifted her sealing, she’s not completely free. If she dares to develop a murderous intent towards , she won’t even be able to remain a ghost!"
The Ghost King, aware that Yun Ran is performing breathing control, doesn’t dare to co close and sits obediently by the door, glancing over at this side from ti to ti.
Whenever her eyes et those of the Little Paperman, she imdiately shifts her gaze away, ingraining her cowardice deep into her bones.
