"Because of this?"
The man’s face twisted, not expecting the Ghost King to be completely unyielding.
"What are you all staring for, get moving!"
The man shouted sharply, circulating True Qi within his body, while trying hard to cut off the departure of Yang Qi. At the sa ti, a rainbow cloud broke through the suppression of the gray fog, spreading in the main hall, emitting a fragrance of a hundred flowers.
"As expected, you still have the strength to resist," the Ghost King sneered, then flipped the Treasure Mirror in his hand, and a beam of light shot out, covering the colorful cloud and fixing it in mid-air.
"What?"
The man’s pupils constricted, and he flickered to escape from the Ghost King’s grasp.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
The Ghost King’s hand suddenly extended two more feet, capturing the man once again.
"Still pretending to be injured, crafty indeed, but it’s useless," the Ghost King chuckled, "Inherited Abnormal People are indeed difficult to capture. The Profound Nether Qi can’t fully seal you, but it can suppress half of your strength, you think I don’t know?"
"What?" Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed.
In the next mont, the woman and Yan Hongxia suddenly erupted.
The female twirled around, and Lu Zheng saw her transform from one into two, then four, and in a single breath, sixteen people filled the hall, each performing a dance, launching spiritual attacks towards the Ghost King.
Yan Hongxia spat out the Sword Pill, which swirled in the sky and transford into a three-foot white sword light aid directly at the Ghost King.
Lu Zheng was dumbfounded!
My goodness, none of them were actually restrained?
Since they couldn’t break the array, they just pretended to be captured, reached the core, and then exploded?
And they held such tacit cooperation to first eliminate the Ghost King, who threatened both parties?
Damn, they were all actors!
Earth Puppet Lu Zheng shivered, and the Cloud Qi in his body broke through the gray fog’s restriction. Although there was still gray fog clinging to him, he could still exert most of his strength.
"Taiqing Imperial Decree, Flying Cloud Breaks Evil, Hasten!"
"Taiqing Imperial Decree, True Cloud Demon Slayer, Hasten!"
Earth Puppet Lu Zheng pinched a seal technique with his hand, joining the ranks of those besieging the Ghost King.
"Hmph!"
The Ghost King snorted coldly, turning the Treasure Mirror in his hand. The light scattered, clouds dispersed, sword light retreated, and even the woman’s spiritual attack and her transford figures vanished one by one.
The four of them were all faking it, but the Ghost King was well aware of everything.
He knew that these few people still had the strength to fight, but he had a trump card in hand and was confident in suppressing them, already weakened by half.
So he didn’t mind speaking with them initially, acting out a play, after all, he had been hiding for so long without conversing with anyone.
...
"Magical treasures are formidable!"
Once they made their move, everyone’s aura could no longer be hidden. Although the Ghost King was powerful, he wasn’t at an overwhelming level. At least the four of them working together should be able to win.
However, when the opponent had that incomparably powerful Treasure Mirror in hand, the situation instantly turned into a one-sided crush.
"Open!"
The man finally broke free while the Ghost King was using the Treasure Mirror to deal with the others, but half of his Yang Qi was already sucked away, rendering him genuinely weak.
"Snatch that Treasure Mirror!"
The woman twirled again, producing dozens of phantoms and lunging towards the Ghost King from all directions.
"Petty tricks!"
The Ghost King didn’t even use the Treasure Mirror, rely dispersing Ghost Qi to shatter those phantoms.
The sword light controlled by Yan Hongxia darted back and forth around the Treasure Mirror but couldn’t sever the connection between the Ghost King and the Mirror.
As for Earth Puppet Lu Zheng, he was far inferior to his true body, and now suppressed once more, he fought with great difficulty.
The man was injured, almost solely dodging, occasionally launching sneak attacks, using Lu Zheng and Yan Hongxia as shields, while the woman transford her form, avoiding direct attacks.
Though these two also occupied part of the Ghost King’s attention, the majority of the pressure fell on Yan Hongxia and Lu Zheng.
"Can’t seize it!"
After attacking together for a while, not only did they fail to grab the magical treasure but were once again weakened by the Ghost King.
"Now it’s your turn!"
The Ghost King looked at Lu Zheng, sneering, reached out and Earth Puppet Lu Zheng flew towards him involuntarily.
"Brother Lu!"
Although puzzled by Lu Zheng’s earlier passive performance, Yan Hongxia still reached out to grab him.
But Lu Zheng shook his head and pushed Yan Hongxia away.
"It’s urgent now, if we keep dragging on, we’ll all die here, we can’t delay anymore!" Earth Puppet Lu Zheng shouted.
"What?" Yan Hongxia was taken aback.
"Don’t expect anything from those two. Be careful yourself!" Earth Puppet Lu Zheng glared at Yan Hongxia, looked towards the doorway, then suddenly turned and lunged at the Ghost King.
"Hmm?"
Unexpectedly, instead of resisting desperately, Lu Zheng dashed forward!
"What do you plan to do?"
Earth Puppet Lu Zheng also sneered, disregarding the Ghost King’s attack and protection, mobilizing all his True Qi, and collided directly with the Ghost King. Although heavily injured, he managed to touch the Treasure Mirror.
"What!" everyone was shocked.
Not resisting, it should’ve allowed the Ghost King to suck all his Yang Qi dry, killing him instantly!
He was risking his life to seize the Treasure Mirror, to give others a chance!
What a good person!
Lu Zheng obtained the Treasure Mirror, severed the connection between the Ghost King and the Mirror temporarily using all his True Qi, and took the Mirror in hand.
The woman and the man exchanged a glance, their eyes shone, and they lunged together to seize the mirror from Earth Puppet Lu Zheng.
"Sothing’s wrong!"
But the Ghost King suddenly shouted, realizing he hadn’t extracted any Yang Qi from the person before him.
"You’re not human!"
The Ghost King roared sharply, reaching out to snatch the Treasure Mirror back from Earth Puppet Lu Zheng.
But Earth Puppet Lu Zheng flung the Mirror with a spinning motion, sending it skimming across the hall, through the air, to the doorway.
Yan Hongxia was waiting at the doorway!
From the mont all four moved simultaneously, Yan Hongxia sensed sothing was off.
She knew roughly about Lu Zheng’s strength and the Dharma Artifacts he possessed. Although not surprised by his act of being captured, upon their exposure and engagent, Lu Zheng’s lack of impact was too lazy.
Yan Hongxia initially thought Lu Zheng was still hiding his skills, but when the Ghost King targeted him, wanting his Yang Qi, and he still perford this way, Yan Hongxia realized Lu Zheng had a plan.
...
Sure enough, the other Lu Zheng suddenly appeared beside her when she caught the Treasure Mirror.
"Don’t resist!"
Then Yan Hongxia watched as this Lu Zheng opened the cap on a gourd at his waist and said, "Collect!"
Yan Hongxia felt darkness engulf her and found herself in another space.
"This is..."
Lu Zheng’s voice sounded in her ear, "This is a Storage Gourd. It cannot withstand attacks, do not resist. I will get you out of here first."
...
After saying this, Lu Zheng sank into the ground, speeding southeastward underground.
"Buzz!"
The Treasure Mirror was completely severed from the Ghost King, and in its wake, strands of Light of Fortune pursued, rushing into the Jade Seal.
A hundred and twenty-two strands!
...
Monts later, in the darkness, Yan Hongxia heard Lu Zheng say "Release," and found herself back in the dense forest.
Looking back, the Ghost Manor was nowhere to be seen.
"What about the manor?"
"I’m already two miles away, of course you can’t see it," Lu Zheng said.
Yan Hongxia: ⊙_⊙
"So, you used the Earth Travel Technique to bypass that Illusionary Array?"
Lu Zheng nodded, saying naturally, "Yes!"
