"Don't worry, I'll take care of the search." Shen Luo stopped after going a few hundred feet underground. He flipped his hand and took out an item. It was the Mountain River Map.
He formed a seal with both hands, and the Mountain River Map glowed with a bright white light. It spread out and landed on the ground of the tunnel.
Rays of yellow light shot out from the Mountain River Map and merged with the ground below. Balls of yellow light also appeared in the Mountain River Map and changed rapidly.
Shen Luo's fingers formed seals quickly, and the magic power in his body was swallowed by the Mountain River Map. It was ten times more powerful than activating any other magic treasure.
His face gradually turned pale, but his casting speed did not slow down.
The yellow light in the Mountain River Map twisted and changed, forming a yellow shadow.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face looked at it and was shocked. The yellow shadow was a miniature map of the area. It was the Nameless Ghost City. The ground and the four underground levels were clearly shown.
In this miniature map, there were flashing lights of various colors. They were mainly black and gray, but there were also a few of other colors. The brightness also varied.
"These lights are the living beings in the Nameless Ghost City? The brighter the light, the higher the cultivation? " Soul Hooking Horse-Face was shocked. His gaze quickly stopped at the tunnel leading to the underground. It was where he and Shen Luo were. There were two flashing lights, one golden and one black.
The golden light was unusually bright, far brighter than the black light beside it.
"As expected." Soul Hooking Horse-Face was convinced. He looked at the Mountain River Map with a burning gaze.
There was actually such a heaven-defying treasure in the world. No wonder Shen Luo was confident that he could find the souls of the people in Chang 'an.
Thinking of this, Soul Hooking Horse-Face hurriedly looked for the souls of the people in the miniature Nameless Ghost City. He could not identify which light spots they were.
At this moment, Soul Hooking Horse-Face saw Shen Luo's gaze stop at a corner of the fourth level of the Nameless Ghost City. There were dozens of weak light spots. They were very inconspicuous. If one did not look closely, it would be difficult to find them.
"Could these be?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face was about to speak when the miniature Nameless Ghost City suddenly dispersed. The spiritual light on the Mountain River Map dissipated, and it fell to the ground like an ordinary picture scroll.
Shen Luo's face was incomparably pale. He sat down on the ground, his spiritual energy completely exhausted.
He forced himself to take out a pill and swallow it. Then, he closed his eyes and began to refine it.
"It seems that using this scroll consumes a lot of energy," Soul-Hooking Horse-Face thought to himself. He stood to the side to protect Shen Luo.
After a long time, Shen Luo stood up, picked up the Mountain and River Map, and put it away.
The probing divine ability just now was one of the abilities of the Mountain River Map. This map could connect and communicate with the surrounding earth veins to probe the situation in the surrounding terrain.
This probing divine ability was the ability of the Stately Painting's deep restriction. He had recently sacrificially refined the Stately Painting to a rather deep level. At the same time, he combined the experience of using the Stately Painting in the dream to develop this divine ability.
It was just that using this divine ability consumed a lot of magic power. With his current low cultivation level, he could only maintain it for a few breaths of time.
"Shen Daoyou, are you alright?" Soul Hooking Horse-Face asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Let's go. There's no time to lose. Let's save the people of Chang 'an." Shen Luo flipped his hand and took out two Earth Escape Talismans. He stuck them on himself and Soul Hooking Horse-Face.
Yellow light flashed, and the two of them burrowed underground. They went straight to the corner of the fourth level of the Nameless Ghost City.
As for Zhao Feiji, Shen Luo didn't summon him back. He let him move freely in the underground space to hunt lunar beasts to replenish himself.
The two of them quickly traveled underground and soon arrived at the first level of the Nameless Ghost City. It was similar to the ruined city above ground, but it was relatively well-preserved.
Shen Luo and Horse-Face didn't stop there. They continued to burrow down. The second level of the Nameless Ghost City was similar to the first level. It was just that the space was wider, and the buildings were taller.
Shen Luo stopped at the second level and asked, "The style of the buildings here is very different from the Underworld. It doesn't seem to be the original buildings here."
"Shen Daoyou is right. The Nameless Ghost City didn't belong to the Underworld in the past. It suddenly appeared here thousands of years ago when the entire Underworld was shaken. I was far from being born then, so I don't know much about this place. I only saw some records in some ancient books, "Soul Hooking Horse-Face said.
"Oh," Shen Luo replied and looked at the several huge stone pillars.
There were ancient patterns carved there. They were connected with each other. They looked like some kind of array runes, but they were different from the Spirit Patterns, Demon Patterns, and even Devil Patterns that he knew.
If that was all, he wouldn't care too much. The Boundless World was full of strange things. It was normal for some strange array runes to appear. However, these runes gave him a faint sense of familiarity. It was as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Eh, this is?" Fire Spirit's surprised voice sounded.
"My friend Fire Spirit, do you recognize these array runes?" Shen Luo asked hurriedly.
"These are ancient wizard runes. I didn't expect to see them today. Looking at you just now, have you seen wizard runes before?" Fire Spirit said.
"Wizard runes!" Shen Luo's mind flashed. He remembered where he had seen these runes. It was in his dream. He had gotten one of the 12 Wizard Artifacts, the War God Whip. The runes on the whip were similar to the array runes in front of him.
"Could this be the Wizard Tribe's relic?" He thought to himself. His eyes lit up.
Shen Luo had always been curious about this tribe that had dominated the Wilderness in ancient times. In his dream, he had obtained an Ancestral Sorcerer Artifact and the Great Formation of the Twelve Divine Beings. He had never expected that he would come across a Sorcerer Tribe relic today.
It seemed that he and the Wizard Tribe were quite fated.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you want to study these ruins, you'll have plenty of time in the future. Let's save the people of Chang 'an first." Seeing that Shen Luo was in a daze, Soul-Hooking Horse-Face coughed and suggested.
"Mm, let's move on." Shen Luo came back to his senses. He activated the Earth Burrowing Charm and continued to dive down. Soon, he went through the ground and arrived at the third level of the Nameless Ghost City.
As soon as Shen Luo entered, he felt that there was a chilly aura in the air around him. It attacked his body. He shivered and his limbs felt like they were frozen.
"Insidious poison?" He raised his eyebrows and hurriedly activated the Suzaku True Fire in the Pure Yang Sword. It swam around his body and immediately dissolved the insidious poison.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face's body also flashed with a black light. His slightly black face quickly returned to normal.
Before the two of them could do anything else, a few black figures shot out from the surrounding darkness. A strong wind blew in their faces.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face's face turned slightly pale. He moved his body and flashed dozens of feet away.
At this moment, a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed in front of them. It formed a huge lotus. The few black figures screamed and flew back. They seemed to have been injured.
In the center of the red lotus, Shen Luo waved his sleeves. A few red sword shadows shot out. There was a layer of red flames on them. They pierced through the bodies of the few black figures.
The screams of the few black figures stopped abruptly. They lost all their breath and revealed their true forms. They were human-shaped ghosts.
These ghosts wore blue ghost robes and light purple tall hats. They looked different from ordinary ghosts. Although they had died, their corpses didn't dissipate into Yin Qi. They were still surrounded by powerful Yin Qi.
