It was already late at night outside, but the huge space inside the mountain was as bright as day.
A glowing sphere hung from the top of the cave, emitting a blue-white light that illuminated the town below.
At this moment, at the passage leading to the outside world, more than a dozen young men were frantically moving rubble, trying to reopen the passage.
Liu Zhentian stood behind, stamping his feet anxiously, muttering repeatedly, "Ugh! How could this happen? I should have known better than to be stuck in traffic, I should have never come here, I should have known..."
Liu Zhengguo suddenly remembered something and quickly interrupted him, "Father, the courtesan signed a contract with the human ruler. You can destroy it with just a thought."
"Yes, yes, I'm really getting senile. How could I not have thought of such a simple method?"
Liu Zhentian slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what was going on.
He then silently wished for the courtesan in red to die immediately.
A dozen seconds later, Liu Zhentian's expression turned even more grim. "I can't sense it anymore, but the contract is still there."
...
A dozen seconds ago.
Xia Tianqiong and the red-clad courtesan sat in the broken void bus, traversing through the void according to the direction the courtesan sensed.
Suddenly, a large amount of contract power appeared, wrapped around the courtesan, and tore her to pieces.
That's how domineering the power of contracts is!
However, the courtesan was, after all, a fierce and monstrous being. She did not die on the spot, but instead reformed into a monstrous form, though it had dimmed considerably.
If it happens twice more, it will probably disappear completely.
"Young master, Liu Zhentian wants to kill me."
The red-clad courtesan paled, her pretty face filled with terror. She looked at Xia Tianqiong and cried out loudly.
Xia Tianqiong didn't panic. Holding the red veil, she quickly walked over.
When he last met the ghost bride, he asked her many questions about the uses of the red veil, one of which was to prevent the power of the contract from killing the ghost.
Upon seeing the red veil, the courtesan in red screamed in terror, "Young master, are you also going to kill me?"
Xia Tianqiong shouted, "Don't move, or you'll die!"
He strode forward and, amidst the courtesan's panic, draped the red veil over her head.
The next moment, the power of the contract seemed to have no target. After circling around twice, it dissipated into nothingness.
"Thank you, young master!"
The courtesan in red had transformed into the appearance of a ghost bride, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
The red veil's isolating function not only shields the power of the contract, but also blocks the connection between the red-clad courtesan and Liu Zhentian.
Xia Tianqiong didn't say anything. He suddenly realized that he had made a very basic mistake.
The courtesan in red could sense Liu Zhentian, and Liu Zhentian could naturally sense her as well.
Disappearing for several days and then suddenly reappearing, then rushing towards the other party—anyone with a brain would suspect something is amiss.
There was actually no need to take the courtesan out of the chessboard space. As long as it was confirmed that Liu Zhentian was not dead, finding him would be very simple.
He also has an orange cat!
Perhaps because I was so excited to learn that Liu Zhentian was still alive, I forgot about the orange cat.
...
Inside the cave, the lights were on.
The town sits quietly at the bottom of the cave, covering a considerable area with various buildings densely packed together.
It is clear that many different styles of houses are interspersed together, including very old classical courtyard houses and more modern three-story buildings.
These were clearly built in different eras, spanning a long period of history.
The town is surrounded by fields planted with wheat, corn, rice, and various vegetables; the area is not very large.
Liu Zhentian led his men back to the town, but the blocked passage would take several days to clear, so he gave up on the idea.
"Without the guidance of the courtesan in red, Xia Tianqiong would not have been able to find this place."
That's all he can do to comfort himself now.
Liu Zhengguo nodded solemnly, "He most likely used the Sealing Chessboard to temporarily seal the courtesan, which is why he can't sense her. Father, you should immediately break the contract, so that even if the courtesan reappears, she won't be able to sense your location."
"I know it was deactivated just now, but there was no feedback, so I'm not sure if it was successfully deactivated. It's a very strange feeling."
Liu Zhentian and Liu Zhengguo led a group of people to the entrance of the town, where they could already see the bustling crowd inside.
Suddenly, the space ahead blurred, and a yellow bus appeared.
Through the car window, Liu Zhentian saw a young man holding a cat, looking at him with the same astonished expression.
"Xia Tianqiong!"
Liu Zhentian's old eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Xia Tianqiong was also a little confused. Following the direction given by the orange cat, she drove over, but unexpectedly ended up right in front of Liu Zhentian.
Especially after seeing Liu Zhengguo, he was filled with doubt. Didn't this guy commit suicide?
He fed the corpses to the trees, so how did they end up here?
After a brief moment of shock, he quickly ordered the bus to accelerate and crash directly into it.
Run him over!
"Run!"
Liu Zhengguo roared and simultaneously waved his hand, unleashing a massive blue fireball that slammed directly into the bus.
boom!
With a loud bang, the bus was blown apart, but the wreckage continued to move forward with inertia.
Six or seven young men who were unable to dodge in time were immediately knocked away, their fate unknown.
Although Liu Zhentian was very old, he was agile and managed to dodge it.
The bus was merely a manifestation of the bus chairs; after being blasted apart, it gradually transformed into ghostly power and then vanished without a trace.
Liu Zhengguo looked on expectantly, hoping to see Xia Tianqiong's corpse.
Just as he was looking around, Xia Tianqiong emerged from his shadow.
It only emerged halfway out, patted his leg, and then immediately disappeared.
