A Hua Tian Realm expert had become food for the Ghost King, leaving not even a wisp of their soul.
Devouring a Hua Tian Realm expert appeased the Ghost King Zhu Li by more than half. He turned and slowly flew towards the formation beneath Chu Lingwei, his body soon disappearing within it.
Chu Lingwei wished to follow Ghost King Zhu Li inside, but her communication talisman stirred.
With just this movement, Ghost King Zhu Li vanished.
Chu Lingwei sighed internally, realizing she could only wait for Ghost King Zhu Li to reappear.
Senior Brother?
Chu Lingwei activated the communication talisman she had just received. It was from her Senior Brother, informing her that he was in Bohai Town and wished to meet her.
Senior Brother was here?
Chu Lingwei was somewhat bewildered. Their Master had sent her here, and within days, her Senior Brother had arrived. Was their Master worried about her safety?
"Let's go. We'll meet Senior Brother first." Chu Lingwei glanced at the mountain, then boarded her magical artifact and sped towards Bohai Town.
"Senior Brother, why are you here?"
When Chu Lingwei arrived at the address her Senior Brother had given her, she found him sitting under a plum blossom tree, drinking tea.
"Little Junior Sister, how have these past few days been?" Leng Xingzhi did not answer directly.
"It's been alright. Haven't done anything." Chu Lingwei thought about her actions over the past few days and realized she hadn't accomplished anything. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Oh, that's an interesting way to put it." Leng Xingzhi chuckled. It seemed his Little Junior Sister was complaining.
"Yes." Chu Lingwei sighed. Apart from meeting Grandpa Yu and him mooching a few meals, she had done nothing else. "Senior Brother, why do you think Master sent me here?"
Chu Lingwei was very confused. There must be a reason why Master had sent her so far away.
"What do you think?"
Leng Xingzhi smiled, looking at his Little Junior Sister. A faint trace of ghostly energy on her made him frown. He cast a cleansing spell, and Chu Lingwei felt a chill.
"Senior Brother, what was that?" Chu Lingwei looked at her Senior Brother, puzzled. She had used a cleansing spell after leaving the Bohai Forest.
"You have ghostly energy on you."
Leng Xingzhi's reply was calm. His cleansing spell had removed the ghostly energy from Chu Lingwei.
"What?!" Surprise flashed in Chu Lingwei's eyes. Ghostly energy, she still couldn't fully grasp how it could manifest physically.
"Little Junior Sister, don't you know?"
Chu Lingwei paused. She hadn't intended to tell her Senior Brother about Ghost King Zhu Li.
"Senior Brother, truly, nothing escapes your eyes." Chu Lingwei chuckled sheepishly.
Leng Xingzhi sighed softly, "Little Junior Sister, you shouldn't hide such a major matter from your Senior Brother."
"So, Senior Brother, you came because of this?" Chu Lingwei was filled with questions. Did Senior Brother already know about the Bohai Forest incident, or had he just found out?
"Weiwei, are you trying to trick me?" Leng Xingzhi's eyes held a doting look. His Little Junior Sister was already keeping things from him.
"No, I just want to know why Master sent me here." Chu Lingwei smiled, poured herself a cup of spiritual tea, and slowly drank it. "Senior Brother, that ghost is called Ghost King Zhu Li, do you know him?"
As Chu Lingwei spoke, she looked into Leng Xingzhi's eyes, inquiringly.
"Ghost King is merely a cultivation level in their ghostly path. As for the name Zhu Li, I haven't heard it." Leng Xingzhi shook his head.
Chu Lingwei nodded. A Ghost King could be considered equivalent to the supreme realm of human cultivators, a very high existence.
"He has killed many human cultivators." Chu Lingwei's eyes flashed with helplessness. Thinking of how the Hua Tian Realm expert had been devoured without any resistance, Chu Lingwei couldn't imagine how many people had become ingredients for his sustenance.
"Little Junior Sister need not worry. Your Senior Brother has come this time to slay it." Leng Xingzhi stood up, his expression stern as he looked in the direction of the Ghost King in the Bohai Forest.
"Is Senior Brother alone?" Chu Lingwei was a little worried. Although her Senior Brother was incredibly powerful in her eyes, this was a Ghost King.
Suddenly, the man in black robes appeared in Chu Lingwei's mind. She secretly wondered how high his cultivation had reached.
"Isn't there also Little Junior Sister? Senior Brother still needs Little Junior Sister's help." Leng Xingzhi turned with a smile and looked at Chu Lingwei.
"Of course. As long as Senior Brother needs me, I will go through fire and water." Chu Lingwei promised with a smile. Even if Leng Xingzhi hadn't said this, she would have found a way to go along.
"Good. Little Junior Sister, get some rest. Senior Brother needs to prepare some artifacts. We will depart in three days." Leng Xingzhi nodded and called the innkeeper over. "Weiwei, this is a Leng family inn. You can rest here."
"Fairy Chu, please follow this old servant." The innkeeper bowed respectfully.
"Thank you."
Chu Lingwei nodded to Leng Xingzhi and followed the innkeeper to her room. Looking out the window, she could see the inn where she and Yu Qinghong were staying.
It was also the inn Chu Lingwei had always suspected was problematic.
"Oh, this is very close to the Bohai Inn."
"Yes." The innkeeper smiled and nodded. "The Bohai Inn belongs to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, which is why it looks so grand."
Surprise flickered in Chu Lingwei's eyes. The Bohai Inn was an establishment of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
"It's actually an establishment of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Does Senior Brother know?"
"Young Master knows." The innkeeper nodded. They would definitely report such crucial information to the Leng family.
"Good, thank you, Innkeeper." Chu Lingwei gestured for the innkeeper to leave.
After the innkeeper left, Chu Lingwei walked to the window and looked at the entrance of the Bohai Inn not far away. At this moment, cultivators were constantly entering and exiting, making it very lively.
Who would have thought that such a big secret was hidden within that inn?
Chu Lingwei closed the window, took out her communication talisman, and reported her safety to Yu Qinghong.
Soon, she received a reply from Yu Qinghong. They were now a thousand li away from Bohai Town, and he hoped she could find him now.
Chu Lingwei told him that she had to re-enter the Bohai Forest in three days and couldn't go to him now.
After sending out the communication talisman, Chu Lingwei did not receive a reply from Yu Qinghong for a long time.
A thousand li away.
Yu Qinghong looked at the communication talisman in his hand, his entire face contorted in anger.
"Grandpa Yu, what's wrong? Is Weiwei..." Nan Xiang had just heard Yu Qinghong say he had received Chu Wei's communication talisman and was happy to know she was alive.
Seeing Yu Qinghong's expression change, her heart also tensed.
"What could happen to her? She's just unwilling to throw her life away." Yu Qinghong stood up and sighed. "You all shouldn't stay here either. Leave quickly."
