and said, "Master Mu, I don't trust anyone else. I can only come to seek you out three times like Zhuge Liang…"I ran back to the room to take a shower. Our room only had a freestanding bathtub tucked...Are there ghosts around me

"...It seems like there's only a red-cloaked female ghost and the ghosts raised by Chūlíng before that bothering me. Nothing else, right... I can see them, but I don't have a physique that attracts ghosts." I answered honestly.

The little wife looked very wronged. She was only a few years older than me, and she looked so cute that I just wanted to pinch her cheek. She pouted and said, "I know, it's just me who ghosts remember...I mean, haven't you noticed that there are many ghosts in this area of the spell formation"

I was startled, there are ghosts everywhere

I didn't feel that creepy vibe at all...

The little wife shook her head. "Some ghosts aren't malicious, they're ignorant and clueless, just wandering aimlessly in certain places... You really didn't see That shouldn't be possible."

The problem is, I really didn't find where there were ghosts... Huh

Suddenly, an idea struck me. I remembered the numerous bronze mirrors of various sizes that were scattered throughout the interior of the Wuzhishan Citadel.

There, shadowy figures seemed to gather. Could they all be ghosts

I broke out in goosebumps. My little apprentice glanced around at the people, and I pulled her aside and whispered, "This place is secluded from the world, unaffected by heaven or earth. It's had its own reincarnation system since two thousand years ago... These are things I shouldn't tell you, go ask Mu Wanchen about it. I think he wouldn't hide anything from you..."

Yes, that's definitely it. They don't care about heaven or earth here, so life, illness, and death are naturally different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people are born from the gathering of heaven and earth spirits, they eat grains, live, age, get sick, and die. But they possess strange arts and various kinds of exotic poisons. The deities they worship are ancient gods who have vanished without a trace and whose whereabouts are unknown.

It seems to have nothing to do with heaven, the world, or the underworld.

The masked priestesses and shamans on the altar, clad in golden armor by the guards, were obedient and unresisting. They allowed the guards to one by one remove their masks and verify their identities.

The entrance to the altar was blocked. After a moment of panic, the witches calmed down and immediately followed Mu Wanchen's orders. Some gathered around the altar to form a circle and cast spells, while others guarded the cave entrance leading to the altar.

"Si Yun should still be here. His cultivation isn't that powerful, he couldn't enter the otherworld's realm, so today's commotion in the southeast corner was probably to attract our attention while he infiltrated." Mu Wanchen instructed Liang Xiaoguo: "You bring people to check each one thoroughly, and only let them go after a complete examination. Don't matter men, women, or children, everyone needs a thorough check."

"Yes!" Liang Xiaoge nodded, he glanced at the white-bearded elder lying on the ground, and asked worriedly, "What about Elder"

"...Let Lian Long come to save him, no one is allowed to leave the altar." Mu Wanchen said as he summoned Gu spirits.

That terrifyingly huge spider, the Soul-Sealing Spider, appeared. The young wife was so scared her face turned pale, she hid behind her master, whispering in a low voice, “… This thing is even scarier than a snake.”

Feng Hun is... a bit scary looking.

We usually don't fear small spiders, but when we see a giant venomous spider with a belly as big as a fighting bowl, a head like a basin, two large fangs, and eight thick legs covered in stiff black hairs like they were just brushed, we can't help but feel a little scared.

Last time it sealed my soul, it tore my clothes to shreds. It was those “leg hairs” of its that caused the trouble.

It wasn't scary when it was small, but now that it's bigger, it looks really creepy. And it's starting to shed its silk.

Thread after thread, each glinting with a cold light, began to weave into a vast net that shrouded the passageway, now transformed into an otherworldly realm.

Feihun remained steadily at the center of the spiderweb, the black qi emanating from it unable to pass through its net. It intended to stay there, motionless, simply guarding it.

"That... will the Soul Binding Spirit keep it contained That old monster seems really powerful. " I was a little worried that the skinny, skeletal hand would suddenly reach out—how could that soft, sticky spider web possibly hold it back"

"Don't worry, many of the barriers in Wuzhuang City are guarded by the power of sealing souls."

Sihuang was about to leave with her people when she was stopped at the door by Liang Xiaog. She growled softly, feeling a bit indignant: "Do you dare search me!"

"How could you dare not Aren't you just a woman You won't suddenly grow a beard, so what are you afraid of" Liang Xiaoguo scoffed and didn't buy it.

Just now, Si Huang didn't give Mu Wanchen face, and Liang Xiaoge also didn't want to give her face.

Furthermore, our little princess said that your traitorous Siyun is also here. Who knows if he's colluding with you Siyun escaped, and you have the crime of lax supervision. Now you don't even want to make amends The Wuzhu King is being too lenient towards you... If it weren't for the fact that it's not easy for you women to be in charge, I wouldn't be so tolerant! You've been spoiled rotten, your tempers are even bigger than our little princess'!

Is he praising me or insulting me

Si Huang pressed down her anger, turned to look at the people behind her, and ordered: "All of you, go find! See if there's Si Yun! If there is, bring him back immediately. If not... that little rascal, you'll be skinned alive!"

She glared at Liang Xiaoge menacingly.

Liang Xiaogē stiffened his neck and said, “Just take it off. I’m not afraid of death. If I die, I’ll cling to you, making you see a bloody spirit every day!”

"You—"

Liang Xiaogge let out a nonchalant grunt.

Si Huang's younger sister, Si Dun, looked a little panicked. She was Si Yun's aunt and favored her niece more than others. Moreover, she had a grudge against me since I was the former princess consort Mu Wanchen's younger sister.

Why do they want this bracelet so badly It's definitely not for status or power. This bracelet must be hiding some kind of secret.

The passage in this other dimension and the spatial rift on the altar have been sealed. It takes time to find someone in this valley, but they will eventually be found.

Mu Wanchen was casting spells to repair the altar. The shattered stones had returned to their original positions, but the cracks on top could not be repaired.

I was helping bandage the wounded while keeping an eye on the surrounding activity. Even with a large crowd, everyone would eventually be checked.

Soon I heard a guard shout, “That man, take off your mask! No one is allowed to cover their face!”

Beneath the distant mountain wall, Siyun hid among the crowd. But he dared not remove his mask—his face was no longer whole. Removing it would make him look like a monster, and everyone would keep three feet away from him.

Mu Wanchen and Si Huang almost leaped forward at the same time. With a flash, Mu Wanchen's sword point was aimed at his throat, while Si Huang opened it with the flute in her hand.

The atmosphere was rather tense. Si Huang lowered her voice and said, "Mu Wanchen, are you going to kill them all just because Si Yun dared to touch your wife"

Mu Wanchen replied indifferently: "You should know what happens to traitors... He has repeatedly gone too far, this time even colluding with the old monster to disrupt the sacrifice. How should we punish such a traitor Si Huang, you need to know when to stop protecting him."

Si Huang narrowed her eyes and looked at Si Yun, who was wearing a mask, and sneered, "Don't you want to know why the old monster wants to ruin the sacrifice Si Yun, you should know some secrets—"Get in the car, it's not safe here!" Xie Ge urged me."Oh, oh..." I quickly opened the other car door and got in.Xie Ge said that this is a border checkpoint, where dragons and snakes are mixed, with m...
