In the water dungeon, the barrier was removed, and a few "clicking" sounds were heard under the circular platform. The circular platform suddenly moved and began to float slowly towards the shore with the people on it.
The circular platform stopped at the shore and did not move. The team of people in robes divided into two teams and stood on both sides, waiting for the people on the circular platform to come down.
The people on the stage looked at each other, and finally walked down the stage without saying a word.
Seeing that everyone on the circular platform had come down, the robed man began to lead the way, leading everyone out of the water prison. After passing through a narrow and winding passage and climbing a hundred-meter-long staircase, everyone finally saw the scenery outside.
It was dark at this time, but the moonlight was bright, and there were unknown glowing monsters flying around.
We walked along a gravel road for a while, climbed a long flight of stairs, and finally stopped in a spacious square.
The square is built on the top of a hill. In the center of the square is a sycamore tree several hundred meters high. The branches of the sycamore tree are heavy with white sycamore flowers, and the ground of the square is covered with fallen white flowers, as if it had snowed heavily.
The air is filled with the fragrance of paulownia flowers. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but the fragrance is a bit strong, which is a little different from the impression that paulownia flowers should have.
"Manager Tonghua, we have brought the people here."
A man in a robe took a few steps forward and bowed to the sycamore tree in the center of the square.
"I see."
The paulownia flowers on the ground spun without wind, forming the shape of a woman. The paulownia flowers suddenly dispersed, and a familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
"Are they all here?" Tonghua looked at the monk in front of her and asked the robed man in front of her.
"Yes, all the people in the dungeon are here," the man replied.
"Okay, you all go back first." Wutong ordered.
"Manager Tonghua, the young master has ordered me to watch from the side." The man's voice was flat.
Tonghua clenched her hands, then quietly released them, curled the corners of her mouth, and looked at the man: "Okay, where is the young master?"
"The young master came back, asked me some questions, and left quickly." The man replied.
Tonghua nodded and ignored the man. She looked back at the towering tree behind her, and her smile became more and more weird.
There are more than thirty people, but there are actually only five teams. There is one unconscious person in each team. Together with Yan Baibai and Zhu Qingwu, there are a total of seven unconscious female cultivators.
A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of the paulownia flowers became stronger.
The paulownia flowers on the ground began to float up, spinning and gathering together. When the wind stopped, the paulownia flowers fell down, forming seven circles with the paulownia tree as the center.
"Everyone, you are all extraordinary people to be here." Tonghua came in front of everyone and said loudly, "I believe you are all worried about something. Don't worry, we will not harm your lives."
"During the time you were imprisoned in the water dungeon, you must have been wondering what our purpose was and how to escape."
"Everyone, there's no need to worry so much. We just want to find one person, and that person is among the seven unconscious female cultivators."
\"Once we find that person, the others can leave."
"Are you telling the truth?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"Of course it's true. After all, everyone's identity is there. Although it's your fault for breaking in, we don't want to take the initiative to cause trouble." Tonghua smiled gently.
Tonghua's words directly broke the agreement among everyone in the water prison to break out together.
Not to mention that they were on someone else's territory, so their chances of escaping were already slim. Even in the water dungeon, they had only decided to take a gamble just to save their lives. Now, since the ghost world had made a promise, everyone was feeling a bit hopeful.
What if the female cultivator that the ghost world is looking for is not a member of our team?
If you don't take action, just wait and you can get out safely without getting stuck.
Everyone who had been in a tense state since coming out gradually relaxed, except Yan Baibai.
"System, do they really have a way to find me?" Yan Baibai began to feel uneasy.
"Host, I scanned the scene and discovered that this square is covered in a powerful magic formation, with the paulownia tree as the center of the formation. The trunk of the paulownia tree is covered in spirit-calling runes painted with a special pigment. I've determined that this formation is an ancient forbidden technique with no records of its use. I don't know if it was successful."
The system continued, "However, the birth date and eight characters on the soul-summoning talisman are indeed yours, the host. However, this type of talisman was originally only used on those who had recently died and whose souls had not yet dispersed. It has no effect on living people like the host. But when combined with this forbidden technique, I don't know what the consequences will be."
"System, is Yuetong not here?" Yan Baibai suddenly realized this problem.
"Yes, host." The system said, and added: "But he is coming here quickly."
“How long will it take?”
"With his current strength, it would take him about fifteen minutes to get here from the Buddhist sect."
"So anxious..." Yan Baibai thought for a moment: "It seems that he is not aware of what happened today."
"It seems so, host." The system said quickly: "Otherwise, why wouldn't Yuetong come to witness the host's return with her own eyes?"
"It seems that this was the idea of the Wutong Flower Demon." Yan Baibai said again.
"Yes, host." The system tried to make amends, "Otherwise, how could Yuetong be willing to use this forbidden technique on the host, which is not sure whether it is dangerous?"
