While officials and ancient families were searching for Xia Tianqiong, he had already driven away from Lin'an City and headed to Jiuhua City, more than 600 kilometers away.
We set off around 3 p.m., and by 7 p.m., night had fallen, and we had already covered two-thirds of the distance.
As traffic on the highway thinned out, Xia Tianqiong became increasingly cautious.
The supernatural is most active at night. Although with his current strength, he is not afraid of most supernatural beings in the early stages of their arrival, if he were to encounter a supernatural being blocking his way while driving on the highway, it would likely cause a car accident, resulting in injury or death.
"Let's stop at the next service area, stay overnight, and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Xia Tianqiong made up her mind and reduced her speed to the minimum speed limit on the highway.
Even in the event of an emergency, there is still time to brake.
"Xia Tianqiong!"
As he was driving, he suddenly paused, then looked around as if searching for something.
He felt like someone was calling his name; it wasn't that he heard any sound, it was just a very strange feeling.
But after looking around, there was nothing unusual inside or outside the car.
Among the bizarre occurrences, several involve using names to enforce death rules.
Xia Tianqiong had to become cautious.
However, nothing happened for the next ten minutes or so.
The roadside sign indicated that it was two kilometers to Minggang Service Area.
His vigilance relaxed slightly.
At that moment, a red light appeared in the left rearview mirror, gradually increasing in intensity.
Upon closer inspection, a red sedan chair appeared out of nowhere behind the side of the road, emitting a faint red glow.
In the darkness of the night, it resembled a giant lantern, both alluring and bizarre!
The sedan chair was carried by eight burly men dressed in blood-red clothes. Their faces were stiff, their eyes were white, and they looked like dead men.
They move with light, unhurried steps, yet each step covers a distance of tens of meters.
Xia Tianqiong was driving at over 60 km/h, and the sedan chair actually caught up with him.
"The Bride in a Ghostly Sedan Chair?"
A name immediately popped into her mind, startling Xia Tianqiong so much that she slammed the accelerator to the floor.
This is an extremely dangerous and bizarre situation—no, there are two.
The sedan chair and the bride are two eerie things, and their rules of death are the same as those of the "mysterious mother searching for her baby," which were not deciphered by humans in the previous life.
The official records about them are only simple, and even their levels are unclear.
All that was known was that two of the monster hunters who had made contracts with the monster generals were also killed by them.
Xia Tianqiong cursed his bad luck inwardly. There are so many strange things in the world, how could he have encountered such an unsolvable and dangerous one?
The SUV suddenly darted off, reaching a speed of 160 km/h in a very short time.
At such high speeds, a slight mishap could result in a fatal accident.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, but his peripheral vision was constantly checking the rearview mirror.
Startled, the red sedan chair followed steadily behind, the distance between them not increasing at all, but gradually closing in.
This is clearly a rule, and it's impossible to get rid of them by speed alone.
Gradually, the sedan chair caught up with Xia Tianqiong's car and sped alongside him on the highway.
Suddenly, a slender, fair hand reached out from the side of the sedan chair curtain, lifted the curtain, and revealed a bride with a red veil on her head and wearing an exquisite wedding dress.
Through the red veil, Xia Tianqiong couldn't see the other person's face, but he inexplicably felt as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.
The delivery ghost and the ghost baby residing inside the body trembled together, as if they were afraid of something.
Xia Tianqiong didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, and directly used Shadow Teleportation.
Will you be my groom...?
A soft, melodious voice came from under the red veil, and before the last "ma" was uttered, Xia Tianqiong suddenly disappeared from the SUV.
The next instant, it appeared in a field forty or fifty meters away, then disappeared again, only to reappear even further away.
The ghost bride was clearly taken aback for a moment. "You ran pretty fast! You didn't even let me finish speaking."
With a hint of complaint in her voice, she suddenly lifted the red veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful and delicate face with light makeup.
With bright eyes, red lips, and arched eyebrows, she resembled a lady from a noble family in ancient times, and looked like a normal human being no matter how you looked at her.
She watched Xia Tianqiong's departing figure, her embroidered eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"How can a living person possess the power of reincarnation?"
The sedan chair carried by eight men turned around, seemingly to chase after Xia Tianqiong.
The Ghost Bride gently stopped her, "Never mind, the Prison Tower has appeared in the mortal world, I need to get there as soon as possible, I'll look for him later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sedan chair continued moving along the highway.
They hadn't gone far when they suddenly vanished into thin air, as if they had entered another space.
The night was thick, and darkness enveloped everything.
Xia Tianqiong can use Shadow Teleport at will, but the furthest she can teleport each time is only about fifty meters.
It teleported several times in succession until it was two or three kilometers away from the highway, and only stopped when it realized that the red sedan was not chasing it.
"The strange phenomenon has only just begun to appear, how could such a powerful one have already appeared?"
When I escaped, I communicated with the delivery ghost, the gambling ghost, and the mirror ghost. They didn't recognize the ghost bride, but based on her aura, they could determine that she was at least a ghost general, or even possibly a ghost king.
In the previous life, a demon general was enough to destroy a city with a million inhabitants, and the Ghost King was even more terrifying, capable of creating demon cities in the human world.
Xia Tianqiong stood in the wilderness, gazing at the distant highway, feeling extremely fortunate.
The strange bride was probably just passing by and didn't intend to chase him, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape.
The SUV was definitely damaged, and besides, he didn't dare go back to look for it.
