But to her great surprise, what she saw when she woke up was a dark brown wooden roof.

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Qi sat up and looked around. Everything he saw was dark, and the tables and chairs in the room were all dark brown, emitting a faint gloomy aura.

She looked down at herself and found herself lying on a dark brown wooden bed. She was wearing a pure white double-breasted ancient costume dress, tights and long boots. She had no idea why she had become like this.

Wen Qi got out of bed and pushed the door open to go out.

Outside the door was a dark green forest, and the wooden house was built in the gap between the trees. Looking up, I could see the dark sky, with large patches of dark clouds floating in the sky, which made me feel very depressed.

Wen Qi frowned in confusion, and his soul power burst out of his body, instantly covering the entire forest.

The imagined obstacle did not appear, but instead a group of ghosts were seen fleeing in panic. Behind them, a huge ghost over five meters tall was chasing them relentlessly.

Estimating the direction and distance, it would take less than five minutes to reach where Wen Qi is standing now.

Wen Qi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to rashly participate in the unknown fight. She floated up the tree in a flash. Before coming up, she also did some psychological preparation. After coming up, she unexpectedly found that she didn't seem to be that scared.

She was a little surprised. Why hadn't she discovered before that the soul leaving the body could cure acrophobia?

After the fear is gone, looking down from a high place is a different kind of scenery, which is quite interesting.

Soon, a group of souls rushed to the wooden house. At the same time, the giant ghost also caught up, and the soul power condensed into two huge maces in his hands, smashing down at the fragile souls below.

This is really a huge kill.

The ghost exploded on the spot and turned into the purest soul power, dissipating to the surroundings. But before it could completely disperse, the giant ghost opened his mouth and sucked in all the soul power.

The remaining ghosts took advantage of this gap to continue fleeing.

After the giant ghost absorbed the soul power, it chased after them again. Soon, the ghosts ran away.

Just as Wen Qi was about to jump down from the ground, a group of ghost soldiers wearing armor and holding spears suddenly appeared, led by a general riding a war horse and holding a spear.

After landing, this group of ghost soldiers chased the giant ghost without stopping.

Wen Qi subconsciously followed, wanting to see what was going on.

Not long after, the ghost soldiers caught up with the giant ghost who was killing ghosts.

The general rode on his horse and commanded the ghost soldiers to surround the giant ghost. The giant ghost was blown up with just one round of sprint. All the ghost soldiers absorbed the soul power together, but most of it entered the general's stomach.

After absorbing the energy, the group of ghost soldiers disappeared again just as suddenly as when they came. During the whole process, they didn't even glance at the ordinary ghosts.

Wen Qi was a little confused. What was going on?

There were only a dozen or so ghosts left, including men, women, young and old. Every ghost had an expression of relief at surviving the disaster and confusion about their future lives. They stood there for a long time without moving, because they really didn't know where else to go.

Wen Qi sensed her surroundings and after confirming that there were no other souls present, she quietly fell from the tree and landed in front of the group of ghosts.

The ghosts were frightened at first and subconsciously wanted to run away, but were blocked by Wen Qi with his soft soul power film.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm." Wen Qi tried his best to appear kind, "I just want to ask you a few questions."

The ghosts couldn't escape, so they could only huddle together, their faces full of fear.

Wen Qi pursed his lips, gave up trying to comfort her, and asked directly, "Where is this place? What happened to those ghost soldiers just now? And where did the giant ghost chasing you come from?"

After waiting for two seconds, no ghost spoke. Wen Qi frowned and had to resort to trickery. "I'll count to three. If you don't answer, I'll start killing ghosts."

“One…two…”

"They are the ghost soldiers of the Eastern Ghost Emperor." A voice came from the ghost group that was huddled together and couldn't tell them apart, "The ghost soldiers are here to hunt down the giant ghost."

"This is the border between the territories of the Eastern Ghost Emperor and the Emperor of Fengdu. Going further west, you will reach the territory of the Emperor of Fengdu. The giant ghosts you mentioned are actually hungry ghosts. They have been hunting everywhere like this and eating non-stop. They are the most hateful existences in the entire underworld."

Wen Qi was even more confused.

The underworld? Isn’t this the name before the underworld was established? And hasn’t the King of Fengdu unified the underworld long ago? Why do they still have their own territories? Haven’t the hungry ghosts been suppressed in hell for a long time?

Could it be that she not only went to the underworld, but also went to the underworld thousands of years ago when the underworld had not yet been established? Then can she still go back? ! Taking a deep breath, Wen Qi forced herself to calm down. Don't panic, don't rush. In addition to her, Mingren and Liu Ran were also sucked in by the vortex. The most urgent task is to find them first, and then think about how to go back.

After walking around twice, Wen Qi suddenly grew a pair of wings on her back and flew straight to the west. She didn't stop until she passed the forest and entered the so-called territory of the King of Fengdu.

Although Wen Qi knew that the King of Fengdu from ten thousand years ago was a completely unfamiliar ghost to her, she still felt an infinite sense of security in her heart whenever she heard the name.

After landing, Wen Qi took out the secret book of metaphysics, released Taotie, hugged its neck and whispered: "I need you to help me find Mingren and Liu Ran, please."

Taotie tilted his head and rubbed her face, humming a few words to comfort her, then broke free from her arms and stepped back, suddenly growing larger until he became a ten-meter-tall behemoth.

Wen Qi landed lightly on its head and sat cross-legged.

Taotie sniffed around, then spread its legs and ran away.

Leaving the task of traveling entirely to Taotie, Wen Qi began to ponder.

First of all, she was sure that this incident must have been done by Xuye and the Western Ghost Emperor behind him, but how did they manage to travel through time and space? Since they were able to send her here, could they also come here themselves?

Also, what was their purpose in sending her ten thousand years ago? To deal with Feng Ce? But whether she was there or not, it didn't affect Feng Ce's strength!

Or did he want to kill her completely so that there would be no huge obstacle to their plan?

The more Wen Qi thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. However, the Western Ghost Emperor overlooked one problem. She was not from this world at all! She came from another world. As long as she still existed in that world, she would still appear in front of Feng Ce at that time.

Sighing, Wen Qi thought, it must have taken a lot of effort to get her over there, but it was a pity that it was all in vain.

After thinking about it, Wen Qi came back to her senses. When she looked up, she saw a huge city in front of her. The city wall and the city gate were a hundred meters high. Through the city wall, she could see the towering peaks inside. Above the city gate hung a huge plaque with two large characters written in a flamboyant style - Fengdu! Taotie stopped cautiously at a distance and said, "Yiya": Liu Ran and Mingren's auras are inside.

But Wen Qi didn't listen at all. She stared at the words on the plaque in a daze. She was very sure that those two words were definitely written by Feng Ce! She was a little shocked in her heart. It was true that she had said before that Feng Ce was a perennial bachelor.

"Let's go in." Wen Qi jumped down from Taotie's head. "You're too conspicuous like this. You'll become an ordinary puppy."

Taotie obediently turned into a wolfhound, with its ears erect, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, and looking much more pleasing than its original appearance.

Wen Qi and Taotie walked to the gate of Fengdu and looked around. There was not even a ghost standing guard. The gate was tightly attached to the wall, looking like a barrier.

She was a little worried. How could she get in?

Wen Qi raised her hand and pushed against the door, but to her surprise, the push went in vain, and she fell right in! Taotie quickly bit her clothes, but she dragged him into the door.

Wen Qi almost fell to the ground. When he stood up and looked back, his face was full of surprise.

She just came in like this? Wen Qi subconsciously looked down at her hand, and then suddenly realized that it was because of the ring that Feng Ce had given her! It actually had the function of opening the gate of Fengdu!

She couldn't help laughing and raised her hand to kiss the ring.

"What are you doing?"

A familiar voice sounded in the distance. Wen Qi turned around and saw Feng Ce in a black robe standing ten meters away from her. He had an expressionless face and indifferent eyes. It was a completely unfamiliar expression.

Even though he knew it was what he should do, Wen Qi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart and almost cried.
