Qiao Wensong gently withdrew his jade-colored palm and smiled slightly.
Faced with the Five Ghost Kings, even though it was only him and his disciple present, he seed to show little fear or dread.
Looking down at the young cultivator, who was so scared he sat collapsed on the ground, he said kindly:
"Little brother, don’t worry, just tell us what you saw."
The young cultivator was so frightened by Brahma Ghost King’s actions that his soul nearly left his body. He glanced at the Five Ghost Kings in terror, only to find their eyes filled with cold malice, making his heart even more fearful.
Qiao Wensong saw the panic in his heart and spoke even more gently:
"Rest assured, I promise as long as I’m here, no one can harm you."
Hearing Qiao Wensong’s words, the young disciple seed to grab the last straw of salvation. Faced with death and the fear of the Five Ghost Kings on one hand, and the olive branch extended by the Chief of the Jade Pot Realm, his decision was almost made in an instant.
He didn’t hesitate at all, speaking quickly:
"His clothing has changed; it can’t be a mistaken ssage from the past. And being so close to Red Sky Palace, without any change of direction, he must be headed for Red Sky Palace!"
While speaking, he pinched a spell, displaying a blurry scene in the void of a large bird and a golden-red figure disappearing into the distance.
Whoa—
Almost at the sa ti, Qiao Wensong suddenly grabbed Ji Wujiu and flew directly out of the palace.
The young disciple stared in shock at their departing figures, then his face changed dramatically:
"Senior! Senior! Save ! Save ..."
However, Qiao Wensong did not turn back at all to his cry for help, disappearing from view in an instant.
He was left entirely rigid, turning his head in terror, and then he saw the gloomy faces of the Five Ghost Kings...
A few breaths later, another head with eyes wide open, dead and unavenged, was added to the vat soaked with Thousand Soul Soaking Corpse Water.
"Fool! How could he believe what that Qiao Wensong said!"
The Corpse-digging Ghost King spoke through gritted teeth.
"Enough! The most important thing now is, we absolutely can’t let that Bird Taoist fall into the hands of Red Sky Palace! If Qiao Wensong really catches him and finds out the truth, we’ve thoroughly offended the Jade Pot Realm, and we might even provoke a disaster! Although the Jade Pot Realm might not dare to act personally, that old dog ’Yun Zaitian’ from Red Sky Palace might not resist their orders!"
Vine Grinding Ghost King spoke with a serious expression.
"So what should we do now?"
Ghost King Xicai, Brahma Ghost King, and Hated Soul Ghost King all asked in unison.
"What to do?"
Vine Grinding Ghost King showed a pondering look, then quickly made arrangents:
"We need to use the teleportation array we secretly set up at the border of Hundred Ghost Mountain and Red Sky Palace!"
"Luckily, old dog Yun Zaitian went to Jade Pot Realm with his people to curry favor with Master Changying of their realm, so Red Sky Palace might not be well-staffed now. We must intercept the Bird Taoist before he reaches Red Sky Palace, and if necessary, we’ll fight those people from Red Sky Palace! Without Yun Zaitian, we might not be at a disadvantage!"
The arrangent from Vine Grinding Ghost King was imdiately approved by the other four.
"Okay!"
"Good! If worst cos to worst, we’ll have a big fight!"
Saying this, the four flew straight out.
...
In front of the ochre do-shaped domain.
Yun Qi smiled and said:
"This place is called ’Child Insect Valley’, not renowned, so it’s no wonder, Taoist Friend, that you haven’t heard of it before."
Chong Hua displayed a polite smile and nodded:
"It’s my own limited knowledge."
Yun Qi chuckled while shaking his head and raised his hand as an invitation:
"Haha, Taoist Friend, don’t flatter us. The valley is modest, I hope you won’t mind, please."
"Not at all."
Chong Hua smiled faintly, taking steps into the domain.
All around, several people maintained friendly smiles, but in this mont, each of them couldn’t help but hold a certain expectation in their eyes.
However, this expectation imdiately ca to a halt.
Just as Chong Hua was about to step in, he suddenly stopped and turned to Yun Qi, curiously asking:
"By the way, I heard there’s a Red Sky Palace near Hundred Ghost Mountain..."
The mont the words ’Red Sky Palace’ ca out, the expressions of the people behind him didn’t change, but their eyes narrowed.
Yun Qi’s gaze subtly swept over the people behind Chong Hua, then t Chong Hua’s gaze, and smiled:
"Indeed, there is a Red Sky Palace near Hundred Ghost Mountain. Haha, Taoist Friend said earlier your knowledge was limited, it seems that was modesty."
Chong Hua shook his head:
"Not modesty, just an old friend of mine, She Ye, once ntioned it..."
Saying this, he glanced at Yun Qi, seeming hesitant.
Without change in expression, Yun Qi, with a touch of curiosity, asked:
"Oh? What did Taoist Friend She Ye say?"
Chong Hua hesitated for a mont and then spoke:
"He said, Red Sky Palace has always been a thorn in the side of Hundred Ghost Mountain, and they’re considering asking one of the Three Realms for assistance, intending to capture everyone within Red Sky Palace and refine them into a Divine Corpse... I just wondered if Red Sky Palace is far from here, if it’s not far, I might go take a look."
Hearing Chong Hua’s words, the people standing behind him showed subtly deepened and colder gazes.
Yun Qi’s expression didn’t change, simply nodding:
"Red Sky Palace and Hundred Ghost Mountain indeed have a poor relationship, it’s not too far from here. After you rest, we will take you to see, by the way, which one of the Three Realms is it?"
Chong Hua smiled and said:
"I don’t know that, you know how the Three Realms are... haha."
He laughed lightly twice.
Yun Qi’s eyes slightly narrowed, scanning over Chong Hua’s face, then showing an understanding expression.
