When Soul Hooking Horse-Face heard Shen Luo's words, his expression changed drastically, and his mood became extremely unsettled.
Back then, when Jinghe Dragon King imprisoned Emperor Tang's soul, he had personally participated in it and knew the process in detail. Jinghe Dragon King's daughter later joined the Demons' side, so it was hard to guarantee that Jinghe Dragon King had nothing to do with the Demons. And the mysterious figure who worked with Jinghe Dragon King was definitely not a good person. It was very likely that he was also on the Demons' side.
Shen Luo had just asked if there were Demons spies in the Underworld during the Demonic Tribulation, and his words clearly implied that he thought so too.
"Thank you, Shen Daoyou, for reminding me. This matter is extremely important. I'll send a message to Lord Zhong Kui." These thoughts flashed through Soul Hooking Horse-Face's mind instantly. He bowed deeply to Shen Luo, took out a black jade token, and was about to activate it with a hand seal.
"Wait." Shen Luo's gaze moved, and he raised his hand to stop Soul Hooking Horse-Face.
"Shen Daoyou, what's wrong?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face asked in astonishment.
"Fellow Daoist Horse-Face, I admire Lord Zhong Kui very much. It's just that we haven't found out the identity of that mysterious figure yet. Anyone is suspicious. If I hadn't known Fellow Daoist Horse-Face for a long time and destroyed the Demons' conspiracy together, I wouldn't have told you about this," Shen Luo said.
"Shen Daoyou, you suspect Lord Zhong Kui? This … is impossible … "Soul Hooking Horse-Face's eyes widened.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful," Shen Luo said slowly.
"Alright, then I'll secretly investigate it myself first." Soul Hooking Horse-Face's expression changed, and he finally put down the jade token in his hand.
"I'll leave this matter to Fellow Daoist Horse-Face. If you need my help, feel free to ask," Shen Luo said.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face nodded slowly.
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to find the people of Chang 'an. Let's go." Shen Luo flew into the forest ahead with the Soul-Haunting Horse-face.
As soon as the two of them entered the forest, the darkness in front of them immediately surged. Several black shadows flew out and pounced on them.
"Haha, what pure Yin energy! All of you, come over to Grandpa!" Zhao Feiji also flew out from his Qiankun Bag. He opened his mouth and spat out a black and red light, which wrapped around the black shadows.
These shadows were actually several snake-shaped Sound Beasts. When Zhao Feiji's Ferocious Divine Light wrapped around them, their bodies quickly melted. They were frightened and wanted to escape, but they couldn't get out of the Ferocious Divine Light.
In just a few breaths, the snake-shaped Sound Beast turned into several streaks of black gas and entered Zhao Feiji's mouth.
Zhao Feiji patted his belly, looking very satisfied.
Soul Haunting Horse-Face looked at Zhao Feiji with goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but take two steps back.
Facing the ghost in front of him, he had a feeling of encountering a natural enemy. If the two of them fought, he believed that his end would definitely be the same as those snake-shaped Sound Beasts.
"This is my spirit pet, Ghost General, fellow daoist doesn't have to worry." Shen Luo explained.
"It turned out to be fellow daoist's spirit pet." Soul Haunting Horse-Face breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still some fear in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Feiji.
The three of them continued to move forward. Wave after wave of Sound Beasts continued to attack. Many of them were powerful and comparable to the masters of the Dacheng stage. However, no matter how many Sound Beasts came, they all became Zhao Feiji's meal without exception.
The more Soul Haunting Horse-Face looked at Zhao Feiji, the more frightened he was, and the more he was in awe of Shen Luo.
He really didn't understand how the Human Race boy, who was worse than himself in the past, not only improved his cultivation base by leaps and bounds in this short period of time, but also subdued such a powerful subordinate.
The three of them were unimpeded all the way, and it didn't take long for them to come to a huge ruined city in the depths of the mountain forest. The ruins were unusually tall, more than ten times larger than ordinary houses, and the ruins were so vast that they couldn't see the end of it with their spiritual awareness and eyes.
The buildings in the ruins were basically blue-gray, exuding a trace of aura fluctuations, but it was not Yin Qi.
Shen Luo's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. Were these ruins not from the underworld before?
"This is the Nameless Ghost City?" He asked.
"Yes, Shen Daoyou, don't think that this city is inconspicuous. In fact, the scope is very vast, and this ruin is not only on the ground. There are several layers of space underground. Even with my cultivation base, it will take a long time to explore all of them." Soul Haunting Horse-Face said.
Shen Luo nodded slightly, but he didn't care about this matter and descended.
"Who is it?" Several figures shot out from the ghost city and greeted them. They were several figures in black robes. There were both men and women, and their cultivation base was not weak.
"Don't be presumptuous. This is Shen Luo from the Temple of Spring and Autumn of the Tang Dynasty. I invited him to search for the souls of the people of Chang 'an." Soul Haunting Horse-Face also flew down and shouted in a deep voice.
"Elder Horse-Face." The few people saw Soul Haunting Horse-Face and were shocked. They hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"These are the disciples of the Netherworld Palace?" Shen Luo looked at them.
The Netherworld Palace was a sect that didn't exist more than a hundred years ago. He also only learned about this sect recently. It was said that when the Demonic Calamity broke out, the Netherworld Palace created this sect to fight against the Demons.
Although the Netherworld Palace hadn't been around for long, the Dao arts in the sect were exquisite, and definitely not inferior to the old sects like Fangcun Mountain and Life Transformation Temple.
"What's the situation now? Have you found the people of Chang 'an? "Soul Haunting Horse-Face asked.
"We've already searched the first two levels of the nameless ghost city, but we haven't found anything. The elders are leading the disciples of the Netherworld Palace and the Yin Deities to the third level. However, many powerful Yin beasts and ghosts suddenly appeared on the third level, so the search progress is very slow." A bald middle-aged man respectfully said. He was a demon.
The Netherworld Palace didn't only recruit human disciples. They also recruited demons and Demons. It was just that they weren't as famous as Fangcun Mountain.
"Yin beasts and ghosts? I got it. I'll go there in a while. You guys continue to search the upper levels. "Soul Haunting Horse-Face frowned and said.
"Yes." The few people answered. They glanced at Shen Luo before turning to leave.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Horse-Face has also joined the Netherworld Palace, and your position is rather high." Shen Luo smiled.
"Lord Zhong Kui asked me to join as a foreign affairs elder of the sect. I'm responsible for teaching the disciples of the Netherworld Palace about the various places in the Three Realms. I've embarrassed myself in front of Shen Daoyou." Soul Haunting Horse-Face said helplessly.
Shen Luo didn't talk much about this. He continued to move forward with Soul Haunting Horse-Face. Soon, they arrived at the depths of the ruined city.
There was a dark tunnel that led underground. It was more than a hundred feet high and bottomless.
"Master, I'll go down first to open the way for you." Zhao Feiji felt the Yin Qi in the tunnel become denser. His eyes were full of excitement. He flew in before Shen Luo could respond.
Shen Luo shook his head and didn't stop Zhao Feiji. He went in with Soul Haunting Horse-Face.
"In addition to the surface of this nameless ghost city, there are four levels underground. Each level is larger than the previous one. Divine senses are restricted underground. It's probably difficult to find the people of Chang 'an City," Soul Haunting Horse-Face said as he walked.
