"What the hell?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had just witnessed the Ghost King being suppressed by Immortal Lord Baopu, so why was another Ghost King appearing?
At this moment, Yan Xuehen quickly flew to Zu'an's side and explained, "Didn't I say on the mountain earlier that the Adventurer Guild found it strange that your highest bounty had appeared and went to investigate? Although I haven't been in the Adventurer Guild for long, I know that the guild is very meticulous in its arrangement of various tasks, let alone this kind of highest bounty that has never been seen before, as if it appeared out of thin air."
"I realized something was wrong, so I secretly investigated. The more I investigated, the more alarmed I became. It turned out that the bounty was issued by the Ghost King. But the Adventurers' Guild would never listen to the Ghost King's orders. I secretly investigated the relevant documents and found that the Ghost King had never contacted the guild. Instead, it was the guild leader who directly issued this mission."
"During the investigation, I discovered by chance that Zang Ao seemed to have some health problems, and he had to hide away every night to practice a certain martial art."
"Because this matter is related to you, I couldn't help but investigate it, and I ended up seeing the Ghost King emerge from his body."
Yan Xuehen quickly explained the whole story, her beautiful face now filled with panic, clearly still feeling lingering fear when she thought about that scene.
Jing Teng couldn't help but glance at her again, thinking that this woman was willing to take such a big risk for Brother Zu, and their relationship was obviously not ordinary. Why did Qiu Honglei say that it was absolutely impossible for them to be together?
There were also several other women, all of whom seemed quite intelligent, but none of them seemed to think there was anything wrong with it.
Just then, a series of cracking sounds echoed throughout the tomb. Zang Ao's body completely split open, and the bones on his back opened like a gaping maw towards the sky. Countless black mists and skulls emerged from the opening, condensing into a ghostly face in the air: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with them. Allowing you to join was a mistake."
Looking at Zang Ao's empty body on the ground, there was no flesh or internal organs left.
Zuan and the others were immediately horrified. They finally understood why Sun En had been deceived even though he had clearly examined his body and confirmed his death.
It turns out that this guy's true form is the Ghost King, and the Ghost King has no life fluctuations, which is why Sun En couldn't detect it and made a fatal mistake.
"Ice Stone Woman, how did you escape from him?" Yun Jianyue was somewhat surprised. Yan Xuehen's cultivation was about the same as hers, and having just witnessed the Ghost King's power, she didn't think she had a chance to escape.
Before Yan Xuehen could answer, the enormous human face couldn't help but look around: "Where's that old man from last time?"
There seemed to be a hint of apprehension in his tone.
Yan Xuehen replied, "He's outside. He just ran into an old friend and chatted for a bit. He'll be here soon."
At this moment, the Ghost King laughed: "Hahaha, little girl, you still want to fool me? If that person really came, how could he let you come alone to your death?"
Yan Xuehen sighed. She was indeed not good at lying, so she could only explain to Zu An and the others: "When he discovered me, I tried to escape desperately, but he was too strong. Just when I was in despair, I suddenly encountered the Chief Priest."
"The Grand Master?" Zu'an and the others perked up, having almost forgotten about his presence.
It is said that he was sealed in here along with Zhao Hao. Since Zhao Hao is here, he should also be in this world.
The group encountered many powerful beings in this world, but they were mostly from opposing factions. Finally, they encountered a big shot from their own faction.
"It's a pity we just ran into Zhao Hao outside the tomb," Yan Xuehen said with a worried expression as she recounted what had just happened.
We just agreed to send people over for rescue, but it looks like they're going to perish here too.
"Zhao Hao is such a troublemaker, he's everywhere!" Zu An was speechless.
The surrounding goddesses had strange expressions. Before this, even though they were on different sides from Zhao Hao, they actually admired him to some extent, simply because he was too powerful and they were already used to his reputation as the number one person in the world.
But now, hearing Zuan curse him like this doesn't seem out of place at all.
The Ghost King laughed: "It seems that the old man won't be able to make it in time. Who else can you rely on now?"
Jing Teng said in a deep voice, "When did you take control of Zang Ao's body? Or have you been Zang Ao all along?"
"There's no need to worry. I'm not interested in your romantic relationships. The Zang Ao you met at the beginning is of course still alive," the Ghost King said, seemingly unconcerned about showing off his most prized possession. "Back then, when I escaped from the depths of the Great Tomb, I lost some memories, but I vaguely remembered that you were very important to me. So I seduced a handsome young man to get close to you. Sure enough, you women are easily attracted to handsome young men."
Those in the know, like Zu'an and Qiu Honglei, realized that it was no wonder Zang Ao was able to pass through so many concealment formations and appear in front of Jing Teng so coincidentally. It turned out that there was a big shot behind him, which explained everything.
Jing Teng's face was pale, as if he was bitter or self-pitying, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Zuan gently patted her hand and answered for him, "At that time, it was only because she had just been enlightened by the Immortal Lord and had a natural goodwill towards humans, coupled with her curiosity about the human world, that she fell into your trap."
Jing Teng looked up at him, and his previously dull eyes instantly brightened like stars.
Qiu Honglei's face twitched. "Isn't this cheesy? I almost threw up."
However, since we had planned to join forces with them, it wasn't a good time to act rashly.
