The group entered the Dry River Ghost City.
Unlike the bustling and clean Fengxian City, the Kuhe Ghost City is full of weeds and ruins, resembling a dilapidated village.
The demons walking along the road all had restless eyes, secretly observing the group.
Due to the powerful aura of Chongjiu and Zeus, naturally no one dared to approach.
Lou Qiongshang frowned, wondering if her master was even here.
His master was also an extremely clean person, how could he bear to stay in such a place all the time?
Even Zeus frowned. "When I last came here, it wasn't like this. How has the dried-up river been managed?"
Last time I came, although this place was chaotic and not prosperous, it wasn't like this.
Shu Jianyue used her spiritual power to look around but did not see the person in the portrait. She looked at Lou Qiongshang and said, "I checked, and your master is not here."
Then he looked at Zeus and asked, "I just thought of a question. His master is a human, so how can he be the King of Ghosts in the Ghost Realm?"
"Uh... of course not." The Ghost Realm is full of ghosts and spirits. Humans would have problems if they stayed there for too long. How could a human be made Ghost King?
But then I thought about how the Ghost King of the Dry River resembled that Willow, which made me a little strange.
Zeus looked at Lou Qiongshang and said, "If what you painted is correct, your master is indeed still alive. As for why he resembles the Ghost King Kuhe, we can only find out by finding Kuhe."
Shu Jianyue looked at him and asked, "Can't you, a judge, find out the whereabouts of the Ghost King?"
"I didn't put any tracking charms on him, so how am I supposed to find out where he is?" Zeus glanced at her irritably.
However, he did not mention that he could summon the Ghost King to his presence.
Why bring it to them? They'll probably leave once they've finished speaking.
He hadn't had enough of looking at the beautiful women yet.
Zeus glanced at the ghosts who were still secretly observing them and said, "Let's go check out the Ghost King's Palace in the Dry River first."
The group headed towards the Ghost King's Palace. Along the way, Shu Jianyue held Yan Xi's hand tightly, while the eyes of the ghosts were all subtly watching Yan Xi.
Chong Jiu, who was originally walking in front, slowed down a step when he saw this and stepped back to Yan Xi's other side, pulling Yu Chuan over as well.
Seeing this, Zhou Rong silently moved closer to Lou Qiongshang.
Lou Qiongshang glanced at him and then turned to face away from him.
The group arrived at the Ghost King's Palace. The Ghost King's Palace was not as dilapidated as the outside, but it could still be described as relatively tidy.
The city guards, who had seen Zeus before, immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Judge of the Heavens. Are you here to see the King?"
"Otherwise, why would I be here to see you?" Zeus glanced at him. "Where is your King of Demons?"
The city guard immediately shook his head and said, "We don't know where the king went either. He left the city three days ago and hasn't returned since."
Three days ago was the time when they came to the Ghost Realm.
Zeus looked at Shu Jianyue and asked, "Why don't we wait here for him to return?"
Shu Jianyue glanced at him and said, "If you need anything, do you always have to wait for him to come to you?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong; Zeus was clearly trying to fool them.
Zeus felt a slight pang of unease, but laughed and said, "Of course someone summoned me. He's not qualified to make me wait."
"Then aren't you waiting for him right now?" Shu Jianyue looked at him with a half-smile.
"Call him back, or I'll beat you up again." Chong Jiu looked at him coldly.
Since Shu Jianyue hadn't mentioned it before, he wasn't in a hurry. He had originally planned to stay here for one night to explain the matter of the River of Oblivion.
Zeus pursed his lips. "Besides threatening me, can't you do something practical?"
"Heh, it seems getting beaten up isn't practical enough for you." Shu Jianyue pulled Yan Xi back several steps.
Zhong Jiu stood still, his meaning quite clear: he was making room for him to beat someone up.
"No, I'll call him back right away." Getting beaten up again would be too disrespectful for him as a judge.
Zeus immediately summoned the River Ke, but after waiting for a while, the River Ke did not come. So he changed his approach and sent a message to the King of the Dry River, but he still did not receive a response.
Zeus was secretly annoyed and looked at Chongjiu, saying, "No response."
Chong Jiu just looked at him calmly without saying a word.
"Alright, I'll try again." Zeus sent another message, and this time he received a response, but the other party said that he was in seclusion and asked him what his orders were, but he would do it as soon as he came out of seclusion.
Zeus stroked his chin. Why isn't he in seclusion in the Ghost King's Palace? Why is he going out to seclude himself?
So he asked where the other person was in seclusion, and said that he was currently in the Ghost King's Palace in Kuhe City and that he would go to find him now.
There was no reply from the Ghost King of the Dry River.
Zeus looked at Chongjiu and said, "He said he was in seclusion. I asked him where he was in seclusion, but he didn't answer."
"So, he probably knew you were looking for him, so he hid."
"How did he know?" Shu Jianyue didn't believe that the other party had detected it because of his strong mental power.
If someone with mental power were to probe her, she couldn't possibly not sense it.
Zeus shrugged. "I don't know about that."
Shu Jianyue looked at Lou Qiongshang and asked, "Does your master know how to read faces and tell fortunes?"
Lou Qiongshang shook her head, "I've never heard him mention it, so it's unlikely."
This is not a good solution.
Chong Jiu glanced at the Dry River Ghost King Palace and said, "Let's rest here for now and talk about other things tomorrow."
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow at him, knowing that he was still thinking about Chen Xin in the River of Oblivion.
Zeus immediately ordered the people of the Ghost King's Palace to prepare guest rooms; it would be best if they could find a place to stay.
He even secretly arranged for himself and Yan Xi to be in the next room.
Little did he know that while his plan was well-thought-out, Shu Jianyue was also quite wary of him, and directly sent Chong Jiu to Yu Chuan's room, leaving Yan Xi to share a room with her.
Then Lou Qiongshang cleverly moved into the room originally assigned to Yan Xi, which was next to Shu Jianyue's room.
Seeing this, Zeus looked at Lou Qiongshang with displeasure and gestured that he wanted to switch rooms with him.
Lou Qiongshang wasn't afraid of him, nor was she stupid. Why would she trade with him? His purpose was so obvious. If she weren't outmatched, she would have taught him a lesson.
Shu Jianyue didn't care how they allocated the resources, as long as they didn't bother them.
Chong Jiu pulled her to sit down beside him, set up an array in the room, and then explained that he could enter the River of Oblivion. He explained the reasons and planned to go down to the River of Oblivion the next day.
Shu Jianyue hesitated for a moment and then asked, "May I go down and take a look together?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "I can guarantee that I will be unharmed, but I can't guarantee that you will be the same. After all, I have my mother's blood, but you don't."
"Father, can I go down too?" Yan Xi suddenly asked.
Chong Jiu nodded. "Logically, it is possible. You are my bloodline and the successor of Youying. Wangchuan should be unable to do anything to you."
Yan Xi's eyes lit up. "Can I go downstairs with Father?"
