Wo Wan's voice trembled, even trembling at the end. Although Chen Zhou didn't hear it, Wo Wan's voice lingered in the air for a long time, echoing in the air. It was hard for Chen Zhou not to hear it.

"Master, what... what exactly happened?" Wo Wan asked Chen Zhou with some fear.

Chen Zhou was still confused about what was going on.

In the silence, only the sound of horses' hooves, "tap tap tap tap...", and the voice Wo Wan had just uttered echoed in the air.

The fog could no longer be considered a light fog; it grew thicker and thicker until it completely enveloped Chen Zhou and Wo Wan. Now, Chen Zhou could no longer see the carriage that was constantly approaching him and Wo Wan, and even the sound of horses' hooves had disappeared!

Just now, Chen Zhou seemed to have stopped thinking. He didn't know what he was doing. When he came back to his senses, he was already in this state. Chen Zhou and Wo Wan were surrounded by layers of thick fog. The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Wo Wan, it seems we've fallen into another trap?" Chen Zhou could only ask Wo Wan curiously. Chen Zhou wasn't very clear about these unorthodox methods, and he couldn't very well say that they had fallen into another formation.

Having lived in the Northern Kingdom for so many years, Wo Wan naturally had some understanding of these strange things. That's why Chen Zhou asked Wo Wan for advice. Chen Zhou really couldn't figure out what the situation was.

"We... seem to have... entered... the City of Ghosts..." Wo Wan stood frozen in place, her whole body tense, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke, especially when she uttered the last two words, she herself was quite incredulous.

Chen Zhou once talked to a disciple of his sect about where people go after they die. The disciple confidently replied that it was the Ghost City.

At that time, Chen Zhou had just transmigrated, and it could be said that he suddenly had the memories of two people in his mind. Therefore, Chen Zhou's memories were chaotic and disorganized. So Chen Zhou directly said that people go to heaven after they die.

Unexpectedly, no one understood what heaven was; they only knew about the ghost capital.

Chen Zhou remembered it clearly. He remembered that those people looked at him strangely and said, "You don't even know what a ghost is?"

Chen Zhou was completely stunned. Afraid that his identity as a time traveler would be exposed, he immediately lied and said that no one had told him that, and that his paradise was just a place he had imagined. Then the children explained to him what ghosts were.

According to folklore, Ghost City is the place where everyone goes after they die. When a person dies, Ghost City will send someone to take him to Ghost City.

Those little devils only knew these things, and then they knew nothing else. As for what was inside the Ghost City and what would happen, Chen Zhou was very curious at the time, so he kept asking them questions. But they were just children, how could they know so much?

At that time, Chen Zhou was very curious about this ghost, so he naturally remembered the name Ghost Capital. Now, when he heard these two words from Wo Wan's mouth again, Chen Zhou couldn't help but get excited. Before Chen Zhou could answer, a series of hoofbeats entered their ears again.

"Tap tap tap tap tap..."

Not long after the sound of hooves approached, Chen Zhou sensed a huge object stop beside them. Sure enough, as the sound of hooves faded, the carriage they had just seen stopped beside them. This was the same carriage they had seen earlier. Now, the carriage stood there quietly, without making a sound, and even the horse was silent, standing there motionless like a puppet.

There was a visible black aura around the horse. It was the first time Chen Zhou had ever seen such a black aura. The first feeling Chen Zhou got from the black aura was that it was lifeless.

It seems to be death!

"Could this be the carriage that's here to pick us up?" Chen Zhou said in disbelief. Just now, Chen Zhou recalled what the disciples in the Sword Cloud Sect had told him, and now it had indeed come true. If it really was as Wo Wan said, that this was the road to Ghost Capital, then this carriage was sent by Ghost Capital to pick them up.

"Since I was little, I've heard people say that the most eerie place around the Northern Kingdom isn't actually the Ghost Path, but the mysterious jungle road that leads into the Northern Kingdom from the Wolong Mountains. Many people have mysteriously disappeared along this road, but because of the large flow of people, everyone assumed they were robbed. So no one took it seriously, until one of the survivors said he saw a ghost. He said that this road actually connects to the Ghost Capital, and everyone who passes through it could potentially enter the Ghost Capital."

"I always thought it was just a legend. I've traveled this road many times since I was a child and never found anything, so I gradually thought it was just a rumor. I never imagined it was true. This road really leads to the Ghost Capital! All those who disappeared were taken to the Ghost Capital!" Wo Wan said in great shock, her words filled with horror.

Chen Zhou broke out in a cold sweat. Neither of them had died, nor had they felt any pain. So it could be said that neither of them had died. Why were they invited into Ghost City?

"We haven't done anything wrong, have we? Why were we invited into Ghost City? This road is so dangerous, why is it still in use?" Chen Zhou couldn't help but ask.

Chen Zhou is extremely frustrated. How could the management of the Northern Kingdom not have resolved such a problem? Such a big issue has arisen, yet they still allow this road to remain open.

“I suspect it’s likely that this road is only open to specific people, so it’s not dangerous for others. Besides, only one person escaped and told me about it, and that person went mad in the end. Who would believe the words of a madman? This road is related to the lives of many merchants from the North and South, and it’s not something that can be closed just by ordering it to be closed.” Wo Wan frowned.

Chen Zhou stared intently at the carriage that had stopped in front of them. This carriage was much larger than any he had ever seen before, which is why it seemed like a behemoth to him. The horse, shrouded in black mist, was more than a meter taller than Chen Zhou.

Therefore, Chen Zhou and Wo Wan had to jump at least a meter to get into the carriage.

Just as Chen Zhou and Wo Wan were both silent and unsure of what to do, a step slowly descended from the carriage and stopped beside their feet.
