The incense stick by the bedside was burning, its wisps of smoke curling upwards as if they were sentient, swirling around Huang Kun.

Huang Kun complained, but his body moved quickly.

He hurriedly put on a coat, picked up the incense stick, and strode to the study.

Place the incense sticks in a specific spot on the table, then sit in a chair and slowly close your eyes.

The next moment, the blue smoke suddenly spread out, enveloping the surroundings.

When Huang Kun opened his eyes again, he was in a Chinese-style living room, the same place where the meeting had been held during the day.

The heads of the other families also arrived one after another, all in this projection manner.

"What's wrong? Is it in such a hurry?"

Bai Mashan looked sleepy, yawning and complaining.

Wang Qingxian tapped the table and pointed to the large screen at the front of the room.

"This is a video from Wanhe City. Take a good look. We underestimated Xia Tianqiong after all."

Upon hearing that it was related to Xia Tianqiong, all the family heads' sleepiness and complaints vanished, and they immediately looked intently at the screen.

The video was taken from a slightly distant location, but it's still fairly clear.

After a short while, Cui Jiu suddenly sighed, "There are at least ten fierce ghosts, and the other dozens are all malevolent ghosts. The strongest one is the female ghost who single-handedly wiped out thousands of wolf ghosts."

The female ghost's strength should be above that of the fierce ghost, but whether she has reached the level of a ghost general is not clear from the video.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Shanke stared at the screen, his expression unusually solemn. "Even if he is a cunning general, if all eight of us join forces, we might be able to put up a fight against him."

Huang Kun immediately retorted, "Why should we confront him head-on? Didn't we agree beforehand that he would explore the eerie scenes?"

This can be considered doing a favor for our Xinglian; it's always a good thing to be stronger.

Wang Qingxian sat opposite him, his face suddenly turning cold. "Even bizarre scenes might not be able to stump him. We need to make a backup plan."

Mo Qiankun frowned and reminded him, "You'd better not do anything reckless. Even if you do, it only represents your Wang family and has nothing to do with us."

Wang Qingxian smiled inexplicably but did not reply.

The other family heads present suddenly fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

...

Time passed quietly, and I don't know how much time had gone by.

Xia Tianqiong slowly opened his eyes, his expression indifferent, like an old monk who had been sitting in meditation for many years.

Gently turn your stiff neck; it makes a soft clicking sound.

He found himself sitting in an orchard, surrounded by all sorts of fruit trees, many of which were already bearing fruit.

Suddenly, a woman was seen not far ahead, wearing a pink halter dress and carrying a small bamboo basket on her arm, picking spirit fruits.

The woman sensed something and turned around to look.

A hint of joy appeared on her face. "Boss, you're finally awake!"

Xia Tianqiong stretched his arms and slowly stood up. "Xiao Tao, how long did it take me to have this epiphany?"

Xiao Tao walked over carrying a bamboo basket. "406 days have passed here, and five days have passed outside."

"More than a year!"

Xia Tianqiong clicked his tongue in amazement. It really took a long time to have an epiphany; it felt like it had all passed in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, his body is fine even without food, otherwise he would have starved to death long ago.

Even without eating, I still felt hungry, so I casually picked up a spiritual fruit from Xiao Tao's basket, not knowing what it was, and started eating it.

"During this time of sudden realization, has anything been happening outside?"

"some."

Xiao Tao picked up a fruit and answered while munching on it, "The strange creatures in Wanhe City have all been caught, and not many new strange creatures emerge from the cracks every day. My brother told me to tell you to go to the next city as soon as possible."

"Heh, your brother's getting bolder and bolder, daring to order me around? Tell me the next thing, this is nothing."

"Oh, don't blame my brother, he was catching ghosts for my sake. Boss, I have good news for you. My control over the power of time has increased a bit, and now time acceleration can be increased to 92 times."

"Yes, that's certainly good news. Anything else?"

Xiao Tao tilted her head and thought for a moment, "That wolf demon has already agreed to sign the human-master contract, and all its descendants have also agreed."

Xia Tianqiong suddenly stopped chewing. "So it went so smoothly? I thought it would rather die than submit!"

"At first, it was unyielding to the death, until its brother came back, captured a few of its offspring, and threw them into the Evolution Pool in front of it. Only then did it agree and persuade its offspring."

"That's great! More than three thousand Netherworld Wolves, which are more than three thousand mounts, can form a wolf cavalry, which we'll call the Weird Wolf Cavalry, and then we can conquer cities and territories everywhere."

Xia Tianqiong laughed heartily, very happy.

Of course, it was just a casual remark, purely for fun.

Xiao Tao continued, "Besides these, there's something else. A tall building appeared outside that can move around. There are four characters written on the top of the building that I don't recognize. My brother said it says 'Wujian Restaurant'."

Upon hearing these four words, Xia Tianqiong automatically pictured the image of the Ghost Bride in her mind.

It's been a long time since I've seen her; it's time to go see her.

The next moment, he vanished from the spot, leaving Xiao Tao's ghostly domain and appearing in Wanhe City.

It was daytime outside, but thick, dark clouds were rolling across the sky.

The air was muggy; this was the prelude to rain.

Summer sky floated in mid-air, and at a glance, a gray mist could be seen in the center of the city, like a dark cloud that had fallen to the ground.

However, a section of the spire was visible.

The Wujian Restaurant rarely appears during the day, unless there are special circumstances.

Xia Tianqiong was puzzled, wondering if they were waiting for her here on purpose!

With doubts in his mind, he teleported to the vicinity of the Wujian Restaurant.
