Chapter 789: Soul Flies
The Skull God stretched out his smoke-like hand, twisted his nonexistent body, and said, "Big fool, let's go find the Cheng family."
Fu Xin simply said, "Don't go too far."
The Skull Monster laughed and said, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
"I'm just quiet, not stupid."
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who doesn't know what's going on. I wouldn't dare to ruin the lord's virtue."
Fu Xin followed behind the Skull God, watching the old man indulge in his evil thoughts. The smoke and the laughing bones wandered in the night, heading towards Haozhou.
On the other hand, although Gong Mengbi had already set out for the North Sea, he was not in any hurry.
His Taoism is far superior to that of the ghost fairy, and he flies faster. He might reach the North Sea before her.
The Five Ghosts didn't know what he was thinking, so they asked, "My Lord, even though that ghost fairy left first, I'm afraid he didn't get very far. Shouldn't we go and hunt him down first?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "She herself is not a concern. What I care about is the person behind her."
"First it was the Fox Court in Xia Pi, then the Fox Court in Haozhou."
"Two Fox Courtyards have had incidents in succession. This is definitely not a coincidence."
Mr. Qing asked, "In Xia Pi's Huziyuan, the fox book was stolen, and in Haozhou's Huziyuan, the entire family was wiped out. Who could have such a deep hatred for Huziyuan?"
Mr. Huang also said, "Xia Pi Fox Court involved the Golden True Nature King, and Haozhou Fox Court involved the Human King Blood Curse. Regardless of their purpose, they are actually disadvantageous to the lord."
"Since it's targeting both the Fox Courtyard and the Lord, could it be a fox from an aristocratic family?"
The Five Ghosts looked at Gong Mengbi, but Gong Mengbi did not refute.
Mr. Hei said, "As fellow foxes, to sit back and watch one's own clan be exterminated, or even to assist in the destruction, is rather too cruel."
Gong Mengbi said quietly, "You consider them as your own people, but I'm afraid they don't consider us as their own people."
"The upper class enjoys everything, including the lives of the lower class. If they are willing to let the lower class live a worthless life, they are already kind-hearted."
Gong Mengbi spoke bloody words, but his tone was very calm.
"My lord, your actions have touched upon the interests of the aristocratic families. If they were truly responsible, then that wouldn't be surprising. But if they were, wouldn't they be afraid of the Queen's blame and punishment from the Goddess?"
"Who can prove they were responsible? Foxes face nine great tribulations in their cultivation. Although fox academies have been established in various places, they are still plagued by difficulties and tribulations. If we can't catch the real culprit, the goddess can't say anything."
"So, my lord, by letting that ghost fairy go first, you're trying to play the long game and catch a bigger fish?"
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "I was just watching her dying struggle, and I wasn't sure if she could catch a big fish."
"It would be fine if it wasn't a fox from a noble family. If it was, she would have been dead by the time she showed up here."
The aristocratic fox is not a fool. To dare to do such a thing and risk the world's condemnation, he not only needs courage but also means.
The last time something happened in Xia Pi, someone wanted to use the hand of King Mara to get rid of him, but he didn't expect that he could resolve the situation with just one magic pearl. So they neither got rid of him nor tested his ability.
This time, Haozhou was in trouble again. The one who came was a ghost immortal proficient in summoning gods. He first summoned the Fox God of Tianfu, and then the Fox King of Lingying. If he could be eliminated, that would be the best. If he couldn't be eliminated, testing his abilities wouldn't be a bad idea either.
But if Gong Mengbi is dead, Tianhuyuan will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. If Gong Mengbi is alive, Gong Mengbi will also get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it.
No matter which one it was, in order to ensure that the ghost fairy would not leak the secret, she was doomed to die when she appeared. It can even be said that she was already an abandoned chess piece when she got involved in this matter.
The reason Gong Mengbi didn't capture the ghost fairy on the spot was because she was on the verge of death. If Gong Mengbi took action, he would probably only have a few soul fragments left in his hands. On the contrary, letting her go might lead to more information being revealed.
When people face danger, they will naturally go to a place they think is safe.
Why did this ghost immortal go to Beihai County?
Gong Mengbi took his time and soon found the trace of the ghost fairy.
The ghost fairy was frightened by Gong Mengbi and fled to the North Sea in fear and panic without stopping.
Gong Mengbi did not show up. The five ghosts hid in the five elements. Gong Mengbi hid in the wind and watched her from afar.
It's more than a thousand miles from Zhongli County to Beihai County. If this ghost immortal didn't have the body of a Yin God and the ability to borrow magic from gods, he might not be able to get there in a day or a night.
But at this moment, he seemed to be possessed by a demon, flying forward without caring at all about the loss of his magic power and the damage to his foundation.
Gong Mengbi knew in his heart that this ghost fairy knew that his death was approaching. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to risk his life and run away without knowing that Gong Mengbi was tracking him.
When the sky was just turning pale, we finally arrived at Beihai County.
This ghost immortal had a clear goal and went straight into Beihai City.
Gong Mengbi followed her and saw the ghost fairy standing in the ruins of broken walls and broken walls, looking around and walking in the ruins. Finally, when the first ray of sunlight fell, the ghost fairy calmly closed his eyes and turned into flying smoke and disappeared.
"Dead." Mr. Xuan whispered, "his soul has been scattered."
Gong Mengbi narrowed his eyes and led the five ghosts to the ruins, only to find that this should have been a mansion, but now nothing is left.
The five ghosts were moving among the ruins. Mr. Chi said, "My lord, there was a fire here."
"The fire must have been very large to have burned this place to ashes, and only with the erosion of time did it cover up the traces."
The ruins were overgrown with weeds, but traces of fire were still visible in the broken walls.
Mr. Jin confirmed what Mr. Chi said. He dug out a melted copper block from the soil. He didn't know whether it was a copper lamp, a copper mirror, a copper sword or a copper coin. Now it was just an irregular copper block.
"It seems she is not here to seek help, but to fulfill a wish."
"Let's check it out. Let's check the background of this ghost fairy."
The five ghosts received the order and scattered away.
"Beihai County." Gong Mengbi looked around, gazing towards the southwest. "It's not far from Mount Tai."
"We've arrived at the Yue Mansion's headquarters."
Since they had already arrived at the Yue Mansion's base camp, Gong Mengbi naturally burned incense to call on the gods and invited Wei Dapan to come.
Wei Dapan emerged from the smoke and landed on the ruins. He looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "You've finally provoked the dynasty's fate. If you don't handle this thorny issue properly, you'll have a hard time escaping. By then, let alone becoming an immortal, I'm afraid even the Yue Mansion won't be able to hold you."
Gong Mengbi thanked him and said, "Thank you, Wei Dapan, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing his calm demeanor, Wei Dapan knew he understood the consequences. The shrewd Yue Mansion Chief Steward only needed a moment's thought to grasp his intentions. He shook his head and said, "A gentleman doesn't stand beneath a precarious wall. If you want to leave a trail for someone, you have to make sure you don't actually get caught."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "If I really get caught, I'll just admit that I'm inferior to others."
Wei Dapan was noncommittal and said, "You are not in Haozhou, why did you come to Beihai?"
Gong Mengbi told the truth, "I want to investigate the origins of that ghost fairy. Even though I can't catch them, once something is done, there will always be traces left."
"That's easy. Just go find the City God of Beihai."
"City God?"
"City God." Wei Dapan nodded in confirmation.
