If it had been someone else who was more timid and afraid of ghosts, they would have been trembling in fear. They might not have screamed, but they would have retreated hastily, trembling. However … neither the lady in white nor the seven ghosts beside her would have expected that the person they were facing right now was someone who had no fear of the so-called strange spirit body at all. In fact, there was even a hint of impatience on Wang Baole's face.
Almost as soon as the white-robed female ghost pounced on him, Wang Baole glared at her. Without any hesitation, he lifted his right foot and kicked out with a bang.
The kick landed on the white-robed female ghost's body, ignoring her soul as if it had landed on a real body. The female ghost let out a miserable shriek as she was sent flying back dozens of feet.
"Is that all you've got? Trying to act all mysterious?" Wang Baole snorted coldly. He raised his right hand and unleashed the Dark Art, Soul Guidance. Instantly, multiple images appeared on his hand. The multiple images transformed into a gigantic, pitch-black ghostly hand. As soon as the ghostly hand appeared, the chilly aura in the surroundings intensified. If the ghostly wind that the woman had summoned was compared to a ferocious ghost, then what was unleashed from Wang Baole's body right now was the Ghost King, which had surpassed a ferocious ghost!
As he reached out with his Soul Guidance Hand, the white-robed woman's face, which had disappeared, reappeared. Her expression was one of disbelief and astonishment. She screamed and tried to flee, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, her body was grabbed by Wang Baole's Soul Guidance Hand.
The illusory female ghost couldn't struggle at all. In an instant, Wang Baole grabbed her by the neck and dragged her in front of him.
"Trying to act mysterious is one thing, but how dare you try to fool around in front of your Grandpa Wang?" Wang Baole glared. He grabbed the female ghost, swung her up, and slammed her into the ground. As if he hadn't vented enough of his anger, he raised his leg and kicked the female ghost a few more times. The female ghost's cries grew more and more pitiful.
His Cultivation base, which was comparable to that of the great circle of Core Formation, was now like a piece of paper in front of Wang Baole. He couldn't unleash the slightest bit of power, as if he had met his natural enemy!
She emanated an aura that could strike terror into the hearts of all living things, but it was completely useless against Wang Baole. There was no question … that as a Netherworld Child, Wang Baole had played with millions upon millions of souls in his Netherworld Dream. Among them, there were many that surpassed the level of this white-robed female ghost, and some that could slaughter an entire world. However, all of them were extremely obedient in front of Wang Baole, and none of them dared to act rashly.
After all … the Underworld Sect was a colossal organization that ferried souls. As a Netherworld Child, if Wang Baole was frightened by such a small ghost, he felt that the fallen Laozu of the Underworld Sect would be so angry that they would come back to life.
At that moment, under Wang Baole's punches and kicks, the female ghost screamed even more miserably. She even began to beg for mercy, but it was to no avail. The change in attitude was too shocking, and the seven little ghosts were all dumbfounded. Two of them were so frightened that they started crying.
They were crying for real, unlike the sinister and strange aura that had formed from their auras. However, the sound of their crying was unpleasant to the ears, and Wang Baole glared at them.
"Shut up! If you cry again, I'll eat you. Sing for me!"
The moment he shouted, the two children who were crying immediately shuddered and stopped convulsing. As they trembled, they wanted to cry but didn't dare to. They wanted to run but didn't dare to. They could only watch as their mother was punched and kicked by Wang Baole until her soul was about to dissipate.
Then, one by one, they began to sing.
"Mommy, mommy, I'm hungry …."
"Mommy, your fingers don't taste good. I'm so hungry, I still want to eat …."
"Don't hit me, don't kill me, don't peel off my skin. Mommy, it hurts …." The voices of the seven ghosts trembled. As their singing echoed, they realized for the first time that the singing was too terrifying. They were frightened by their own singing.
Eventually, Wang Baole got tired of listening to them. He waved his hand, and the seven ghosts hurriedly retreated and fled. In their young minds, Wang Baole was already on the same level as the Devil God. He was extremely terrifying.
As the seven ghosts fled, Wang Baole kicked them a few more times until the white-robed female ghost was unconscious and her body was about to dissipate. Then, he grabbed her and placed her in front of him. He glared at her and snorted.
"This is the first time I've seen a little ghost like you dare to appear in front of me," he said coolly. "Oh well, I guess I'll just eat you." Wang Baole had seen some Underworld Sect disciples in the Underworld Dream who had secretly eaten ghosts. After all, the Underworld Sect was a huge place. If he ate a few occasionally, no one would investigate. Besides, even if they did, it would be pointless. After all, the Underworld Sect was the enforcer of souls.
Although he had never eaten ghosts before, he was aware of their methods. Considering the severe shortage of snacks, Wang Baole had been waking up in the middle of the night many times in the past few months because of hunger. As he looked at the female ghost, he couldn't help but swallow and lick his lips.
Suppressing the urge to eat the ghost, Wang Baole decided that it would be best to first examine the area. Therefore, he put the ghost away, then walked over to Fang Mu's corpse. After examining it, his face grew unsightly.
Based on the Underworld Sect's understanding of ghosts, Wang Baole could tell that Fang Mu hadn't been killed by his spiritual body. Instead, he had been killed by a soul search. There were no other injuries on his body. Clearly, he had been suppressed in an instant. After a forceful soul search, his brain couldn't take it anymore, and his soul was destroyed.
This method was extremely cruel. After a moment of silence, Wang Baole examined Fang Mu's corpse and put it away. After all, he was a Federation Seedling. Although he was dead now, he couldn't be buried in a foreign land.
In the silence, Wang Baole was very frustrated. Although everyone had been mentally prepared when they arrived at the ancient greenish-bronze sword, Wang Baole still sighed in his heart when he saw it with his own eyes.
However, he quickly composed himself and looked up at the golden beetle. With a flash, he went to the big hole in the shell. After examining it, he found two corpses inside.
One of the corpses was that of a middle-aged man. He wore the Dao robes of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. His clothes were tattered, and he had been dead for many years. Not only was the aura of death on his body thick, but even after death, the waves of energy from his body made Wang Baole's pupils contract.
The other corpse that had perished together with him wasn't a Vast Expanse Dao Palace cultivator, but a three-headed, six-armed … Never-Ending Clan member!
The two of them had obviously gone through a great battle when they were alive, and in the end, both of them perished together. This beetle was obviously one of their airships. After the two of them died many years ago, this beetle also fell and was buried in this highland.
This time, it had risen from the sea of fire following the changes in the area. It could be imagined that after some time, everything here would disappear in the next change in the area.
The two's storage treasures were also gone, let alone items like identity tokens. Wang Baole didn't believe that they had been destroyed. He was more willing to believe that someone had taken them away in advance.
There was a slight possibility that the person who had taken them away was the one who had killed Fang Mu.
"Killed Fang Mu and set up a trap here …" Wang Baole searched around but didn't find anything. After leaving the golden beetle, he simply took out the unconscious female ghost. He grabbed her neck and shook her violently. The female ghost immediately woke up. When she saw Wang Baole clearly, she immediately screamed, her body trembling like a sieve.
"Make any more noise and I'll eat you!" Wang Baole said coldly.
The female ghost immediately shut up. Although she was still trembling, she didn't dare to utter a single word.
"Tell me, what's going on here?" Wang Baole looked at the white-robed female ghost and asked slowly. His tone was calm, but when it landed in the female ghost's soul, she trembled again. She didn't dare to hide anything and vaguely transmitted her consciousness.
"The Never-Ending Clan … manipulated … lured … to kill you …"
"Hmm?" When he heard this, Wang Baole's eyes suddenly narrowed. He formed a seal and sent a streak of Nether Fire into the female ghost's glabella. After that, it flew back. This was a small Dharma spell that Wang Baole had learned in the Dark Sect. It could be used to test the truthfulness of a soul's words. After that, he asked in detail. After a while, his face turned even darker. He finally understood that there was a living Never-Ending Clan member who had manipulated this female ghost to come here and kill him.
However, this Never-Ending Clan member obviously didn't expect him to be a Child of the Underworld. He was the least afraid of souls.
Hundreds of thoughts ran through Wang Baole's mind. Although he only knew a few clues, and this white-robed female ghost's consciousness didn't seem very clear, he could still sense that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and the ancient greenish-bronze sword were very complicated.
"There's actually a living Never-Ending Clan member?!" Wang Baole took a deep breath and decided that it was best to leave this place as soon as possible. Hence, he was about to deal with this female ghost when at that moment …
In an empty space far away, the seven little ghosts who had originally escaped appeared carefully, trembling with fear.
