The underground hall wasn't very big. There were only a few hundred people on both sides. Now that Wang Hu's group had Zhao Hai's help, the situation immediately changed. It didn't take long before the attacking cultivators were repelled. The retreating cultivators left behind more than a hundred corpses.
It wasn't until the cultivators of the Ghost Shadow Gang retreated that Wang Hu and the others let out a long breath. Then, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
After some time, Wang Hu and the others calmed down. Then Wang Hu walked towards Zhao Hai and knelt down in front of him. Zhao Hai quickly pulled Wang Hu up and said, "Brother Wang Hu, what are you doing?"
Wang Hu's eyes turned red as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, we would've been finished."
Zhao Hai smiled as he patted Wang Hu's shoulder and said, "Alright, there's no need to be so polite. Tell me about the Ghost Shadow Gang. Right, have everyone help me move the corpses of the Ghost Shadow Gang. I have a use for them." Wang Hu nodded and had everyone move the corpses. Then he led Zhao Hai to a small cave nearby.
After entering the small cave, Wang Hu opened his mouth and said, "This Ghost Shadow Tiger appeared a year ago. No matter who created it, the strength of those who join the Ghost Shadow Gang will increase in a short period of time. However, their temperament will also change greatly. They will become very cruel, bloodthirsty, and more aggressive. Sometimes, the Ghost Shadow Gang's members will have internal strife. Naturally, we will join such a gang. Therefore, the Ghost Shadow Gang has invited us to join several times, but we didn't agree. I didn't expect that they would suddenly attack us while we were resting, catching us off guard."
Zhao Hai said, "Does the Tyrant Blade Sect know about the appearance of the Ghost Shadow Gang?"
Wang Hu shook his head and said, "They shouldn't know. We rogue cultivators have our own set of rules. No matter what happens in the underground maze, we won't tell the Tyrant Blade Sect. Therefore, I don't think the Tyrant Blade Sect knows what happened in the underground maze."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then can you tell me about the Ghost Shadow Gang. Aside from their rapid increase in strength and their bloodthirsty nature, what other characteristics do they have?"
Wang Hu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what other characteristics they have. Right, they controlled some places in the underground maze and listed them as forbidden areas of the Ghost Shadow Gang. They don't allow anyone to enter. If they enter those places, they would be hunted down by the Ghost Shadow Gang."
Zhao Hai't his brows as he said, "What kind of places are those forbidden areas? Is there anything special about them? "
Wang Hu thought for a moment and said, "It's not a special place. It's just some of the more dangerous places in the underground maze. I heard that those places produce some special herbs and some special demon beasts. There are also some places where zombies roam. We don't dare to go to those places normally."
When Zhao Hai heard Wang Hu, his brows couldn't help but tighten. There were zombies in the underground maze? How come he didn't know about it before? If there were zombies, then that meant that the place had a lot of Yin Qi. Places with a lot of Yin Qi weren't only good for the Undead, they were also good for the cultivation of ghost cultivators.
At this time, the other people also carried the corpses in front of Zhao Hai. However, when Zhao Hai looked at the corpses, he couldn't help but stare. This was because he couldn't feel any soul force in the corpses. Zhao Hai tried to throw some black gas at the corpses. Sure enough, it didn't have any effect. The soul force in the corpses had completely disappeared.
Zhao Hai looked at the corpses on the ground. His brows wrinkled even more. He carefully thought about the corpses and the differences between them and the others.
After carefully thinking about it, Zhao Hai suddenly thought of something. In addition to their cultivation being somewhat unstable, their souls seemed to be very weak. Moreover, there was a black gas between their eyebrows. This black gas was very abnormal. If Zhao Hai wasn't mistaken, the black gas on their faces was their Death Qi. In other words, even if these people didn't die, they wouldn't be able to live for long.
However, Zhao Hai was sure that these people wouldn't die so easily. There was something strange about the Death Qi. As for what it was, he still couldn't figure it out. However, he believed that he would figure it out sooner or later.
The others were somewhat confused as they looked at Zhao Hai. They didn't know what Zhao Hai was doing. Zhao Hai looked at Wang Hu and said, "Big Brother Wang Hu, this matter is a bit strange. I'm afraid that the Ghost Shadow Gang has some background. If you believe me, then you shouldn't enter this underground labyrinth for some time. It's very dangerous here."
Wang Hu nodded and said, "Alright, I believe you. We won't enter this labyrinth for some time. With the Ghost Shadow Gang here, we wouldn't dare to enter this labyrinth."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's good. Big Brother Wang Hu, you should leave first. I'll go in and take a look. I want to see what's going on with the Ghost Shadow Gang."
When he heard Zhao Hai, Wang Hu immediately became nervous. He quickly said, "No, Mister, you really can't. It's too dangerous. You don't know, but the Ghost Shadow Gang has a lot of people. Moreover, some of them have already reached the Transcending Realm. It's too dangerous for him to stay."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Rest assured, I'll be fine. You should leave." Wang Hu saw that he couldn't persuade Zhao Hai. He nodded and took out his jade token, preparing to leave.
Zhao Hai turned his hand and took out a small transmission formation. Zhao Hai gave the transmission formation to Wang Hu and said, "Brother Wang Hu, this is for you. If you need anything in the future, you can use it to inform me." Wang Hu nodded and said, "Brother Wang Hu, this is for you. If you need anything in the future, just use it to inform me."
Wang Hu excitedly received the transmission formation. Then he gave a big bow to Zhao Hai and crushed the jade token. His body flashed with white light as he disappeared. The other people in the hall also left with Wang Hu. These people didn't dare to stay in the labyrinth.
Seeing that these people had left, Zhao Hai turned his head and looked at the dead cultivators. Then he sighed and waved his hand. A fire appeared on the corpses. Before long, the corpses turned into ashes.
Zhao Hai glanced at the hall, then he turned and went into a nearby cave. After a few turns, he disappeared. To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't think that he would return to the underground labyrinth one day. But now, the Ghost Shadow Gang really attracted his attention.
Before, Wang Hu said that there were some places in the underground labyrinth that were listed as forbidden areas by the Ghost Shadow Gang. He didn't know what they were doing there. Zhao Hai decided to go to the forbidden areas of the Ghost Shadow Gang.
Zhao Hai had been to the underground labyrinth before, so he was very familiar with it. Before long, Zhao Hai arrived at a more dangerous place. After looking at the entrance of the dangerous cave, Zhao Hai immediately noticed that in addition to a dangerous skull sign, there were also a few words, "Ghost Shadow Gang Forbidden Area, Outsiders Are Not Allowed to Enter!"
Zhao Hai looked at the cave entrance and didn't see anyone. However, this didn't mean that Zhao Hai didn't find anything. He found several formations at the entrance of the cave. It seems like the entrance was indeed sealed by the Ghost Shadow Gang.
Zhao Hai looked at the cave and decided to go in. However, he didn't want to go in from the entrance. With an intention, Zhao Hai's figure slowly sank into the ground and disappeared. He wanted to go in from the ground and see what was going on inside.
Zhao Hai used his Earth element Divergent Ability, so there was no difference between the underground and the surface. Before long, he flashed into the cave. Zhao Hai looked around and saw that there were a lot of formations inside the cave. Some of these formations were for warning, but most of them were for attacking. If a group of Rogue Cultivators were to come in, then these formations would be enough to kill them.
After sneaking about a kilometer into the cave, the formations disappeared. However, at the same time, Zhao Hai saw several Ghost Shadow Gang members. These Ghost Shadow Gang members had dense black qi on their forehead. Even their bodies were emitting a trace of death qi. Zhao Hai could even smell the stench of corpses coming from their bodies.
Zhao Hai's brows wrinkled even more. After sneaking about a kilometer forward, Zhao Hai finally saw a large space. This space was very big. Most importantly, there was a dense Yin Qi in this space. This Yin Qi was essential to the creation of Undead. Naturally, it was also something that Ghost Cultivators couldn't do without.
But what surprised Zhao Hai the most was that in this huge space, he felt a gloomy feeling. This was a feeling that he would only feel after encountering a Ghost Cultivator.
Zhao Hai didn't go out from the cave. Instead, he continued to sneak forward. Suddenly, he stopped because he heard two people talking. One of them said, "Senior Brother, this is really a good place. Not only is it very good for cultivation, there are also so many silly Rogue Cultivators providing us with soul force. In a few days, they will become our corpse slaves. Senior Brother, how did the Hall Master find this place? I heard that this is the Tyrant's Blade Sect's territory. Isn't the Hall Master afraid that the Tyrant's Blade Sect would discover us? "
The other Cultivator shook his head and said, "Don't worry, those Rogue Cultivators have their own rules. They wouldn't casually tell the Tyrant's Blade Sect about this place. This place is very good. We can build a base here. When the time comes, we can kill our way out and take control of Mani Coiling City. Hahaha, when the time comes, we can give the Tyrant's Blade Sect a big blow. Even if we fail, there are so many people in Mani Coiling City that they can provide us with a lot of soul force. Isn't this good?"
Ghost Cultivators, Zhao Hai was now certain that the one who spoke was a Ghost Cultivator. To be honest, this was a good choice for them to build a base here. No matter where the light is, it's hard to avoid the darkness. Nobody in the Tyrant's Blade Sect would think that the Ghost Cultivators would build a base here. If they were to make a move in the future, then the Tyrant's Blade Sect's Mani Coiling City Branch wouldn't be able to deal with them. When the time comes, Mani Coiling City would fall into their hands. This would be a huge blow to the Tyrant's Blade Sect.
