Just then, Zhao Hao placed his hand on their shoulders and instantly dodged dozens of feet backward.
Almost simultaneously, the monster appeared where they had just been.
The flowers, trees, and even a large rock that had just been there were instantly corroded away after being enveloped by it.
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing swallowed hard. If the two of them were enveloped like this, they would be digested instantly.
"Huh?" The monster was clearly puzzled by the speed of these people, so the head at the top suddenly opened its mouth and roared.
A series of sharp, piercing sounds rang out. Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing were both Grandmasters, and had even cultivated Yin Spirits. However, they were seriously injured at the moment, and were also extremely uncomfortable by the piercing shrieks. This was an attack targeting the soul!
At the same time, the monster trembled, and the corpses on its body seemed to come alive, each enveloped in black mist, surrounding them from all directions.
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing simultaneously drew their swords, their sword energy piercing through the corpses one by one.
However, those corpses were already dead. After being pierced, they fell to the ground and were quickly enveloped by the black mist, returning to the battle.
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing's expressions changed drastically. These things were too strange, endless and impossible to kill.
Moreover, they sensed that the Yin spirits attached to the longsword seemed to be somewhat corroded and polluted by the black energy.
Just then, a golden light flashed, and the corpses screamed and fell to the ground.
A large golden hand pierced through the black mist and grabbed the monster behind it.
The black mist melted away upon seeing the golden light, just as snow melts upon seeing the sun.
The monster struggled desperately, letting out painful roars; it never expected this person to be so strong.
The opponent just broke its spell, which has severely damaged its vitality. It doesn't know how many more people it will need to eat to recover.
Zhao Hao's gaze fell on the golden palm, which was also sizzling as it was corroded by the other party's black energy.
He frowned: "What kind of monster are you?"
The monster didn't answer him, but instead cursed angrily, "I work for the Ghost King. If you dare to mess with me, the Ghost King will not let you get away with it!"
"Ghost King?" Zhao Hao raised an eyebrow. "What is that?"
The monster was startled, and a look of fear appeared on its face: "How dare you insult the Ghost King! You are doomed, and your soul is destined never to be reborn!"
Zhao Hao snorted coldly, and golden light shone brightly in his hand. The monster screamed, and the black mist on its body almost completely disappeared, making it look like a skinny black dog.
"Who is the Ghost King?" Zhao Hao asked sharply.
The monster felt extreme pain and could only reply, "The Ghost King is the king of all ghosts, an incomparably powerful being. All of us ghosts must obey his commands."
"You just said you were working for the Ghost King, what were you working on?" Zhao Hao continued to ask.
The monster hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't resist the golden light emanating from Zhao Hao and quickly replied, "The 'Baopuzi'. I was ordered to find the 'Baopuzi'."
“The Master Who Embraces Simplicity?” Zhao Hao was taken aback; the name sounded like a Buddhist scripture.
"That was written by the Immortal Lord Baopu with all his heart and soul. Legend has it that it contains the method to become an immortal. The Ghost King wanted to become a ghost immortal, so he mobilized all the ghosts in the world to help him find it," the monster replied quickly.
"Is there really a way to become an immortal?" Zhao Hao's breathing quickened suddenly. Over the years, he had sent out countless people and resources, but he had not found a way to become an immortal.
Now that the five signs of decay are approaching, he has developed an inexplicable obsession with the art of becoming an immortal.
Even Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing perked up their ears. Becoming an immortal is an immense temptation for every cultivator. In their world, becoming an immortal was just a vague legend, but who knew that there would be clues in this world.
"I don't know. The path to immortality was cut off back then, and no immortals have emerged for a long time. But the Immortal Lord Baopu appeared out of nowhere and amazed an era. Later, I heard that he had ascended to immortality, so the Ghost King wanted to find his book, 'Baopuzi,' to study it," the monster replied.
"Where is the 'Baopuzi'?" Zhao Hao demanded.
"This..." The monster hesitated, but thinking of the pain it had suffered before, it quickly replied, "I heard that a large tomb appeared in the Zhichuan area not long ago. The things that came out of it are related to the Immortal Lord Baopu. Moreover, Zhichuan is also the place where the Immortal Lord Baopu once sought enlightenment, so everyone guesses that there may be something in the tomb."
"Where is Zhichuan?" Zhao Hao asked.
The monster gave him a brief description.
Li Changsheng couldn't help but say, "It's so far away, will you even make it in time? I'm afraid the contents inside have already been obtained by powerful figures nearby."
The monster replied, "That tomb has extremely strong restrictions, and it's not open yet. I should hurry over there."
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing exchanged a glance, both wanting to go there to see if this thing, which even the Ghost King was interested in, truly held some kind of opportunity to become an immortal.
Unfortunately, they knew that they had no choice but to listen to Zhao Hao now.
At this moment, Zhao Hao looked down at the monster in his hand: "How does the Ghost King you mentioned compare to me in strength?"
The monster's face twisted in agony: "You may be powerful, but you're far inferior to the Ghost King. You'd better let me go, or else..."
Zhao Hao snorted coldly, and with a flash of golden light in his hand, the monster was instantly crushed into ashes.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Li and Xuan asked cautiously.
“This monster has some strength. If we can make it do things, then the Ghost King is obviously not simple,” Zhao Hao said after a moment of silence. “Anyway, we are completely in the dark right now, so why don’t we go to Zhichuan to take a look?”
