Chapter 1745: 853 Ghost King Strikes (2nd Tael)

Xuanping Hou laughed angrily, "Chu Feipeng, is it? Fine, take it."

After speaking, his smile vanished, "Where is my son?"

Shangguan Yun tightly clenched her fingers and said sternly, "Qingqing is in a Villa near Shengdu. Once the situation stabilizes, I will bring him back."

...

"Damn it!"

On the other side, within Ghost Mountain of Pu City, Min Hongyi was leading his men searching in the woods, but a group of rough men surprisingly got lost.

A soldier pointed at the knife mark on the big tree beside him and said, "General Min! Here’s the mark we made earlier! We’ve looped back to the original path!"

Min Hongyi frowned.

People who lead soldiers in battles usually have a good sense of direction, but somehow, in this forest, all the trees look the same. The sun had set, and neither the moon nor Hesperus was visible, making it impossible to discern directions.

Based solely on experience, they kept moving forward, logically they should be able to find their way out, but they ended up back at the start.

Such damn strange occurrences!

Swish!

A soldier suddenly sensed a shadow swiftly passing by on one side, and he quickly turned his head, "Who’s there!"

However, all that met his eyes was a pitch-black and silent forest.

"Fifth Brother, what’s wrong?" A companion amusingly patted his arm, "Are you really this scared? Surely you’re not that cowardly?"

Another companion also chuckled, "Yeah, just because it’s called Ghost Mountain, does that mean there are actually ghosts? Even if there are, we’re following Master Min, why should we fear ghosts and spirits?"

Those words resonated with Min Hongyi.

Indeed, there is nothing Min Hongyi fears. From heaven above to evil spirits below, what nonsense is Ghost Mountain? It’s merely a rumor crafted by a bunch of cowards, nothing to be afraid of!

The strange feeling in Min Hongyi’s heart dissipated, and maybe his courage even startled the heavens, as the cold wind blew away the clouds above.

As soon as the moon appeared, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if they’d returned to the living world.

Before they could finish that breath, screams erupted from the back of the team, "Xiaoluo is gone! He was just talking to me! Suddenly... suddenly he disappeared!"

Everyone’s hearts sank. Min Hongyi grasped the dagger at his waist with a steely gaze, "Five people per group, move together!"

The Jin soldiers put away their weapons, linking arms. It felt safer this way; after all, it was unlikely for all five to vanish at once.

...

"Hey, lass, how much longer do we have to go?"

Terrified out of his wits by ghosts, Tang Yueshan coolly sat back on his horse, claiming that he acted like that to protect her, definitely not out of fear!

"Almost there," Gu Jiao said, "There should be a cave ahead, we’ll spend the night there."
