Seeing Wuying's miserable state, Wang Yao decided to let him rest a little longer. They were already close to the end of their journey. Following the previous plan, Wang Yao only needed to help the ghosts return to the first line of defense, and the matter would be over.
As for Hui Shuo, since many of his admirers have fallen, but Hui Shuo himself has not been seen, it can only prove that he was sent to the blockade not far away by the admirers, so there is no need to worry about him anymore.
Unlike Wang Yao, Wu Ying didn't stop to rest. He stood there in a daze for a while, and although he didn't use any more magic, he still floated forward along the corridor.
Seeing the shadowless figure drift further and further away, almost disappearing completely, Wang Yao sighed, slowly got up, and, stepping on the ghostly figures scattered on the ground, chased after it.
Abandoning their magic, the two wandered slowly through the depths of the underworld district, stepping over the fallen ghosts scattered everywhere. When they saw familiar faces, as long as there was still hope, Wang Yao rescued them without hesitation, covering them with protective shields and leaving them in the corridor to slow down the spread of the corpse aura.
He asked a few people who could speak without difficulty, and only then did he realize that these ghosts had actually been infected by the corpse energy unintentionally, and they hadn't even seen the shadow of the corpse puppets yet.
After walking a long way forward, apart from the corpses lying on the ground everywhere, there was still no sign of the blockade.
Wang Yao knocked on a few of the fallen ghosts and asked them what was going on. Some of them had participated in the defense but had fallen due to infection with the corpse energy. They only said that the Daoist Master was arranging an emergency retreat, but they didn't know where they had retreated to.
Most of these ghosts were temporarily assigned to cover the retreat by the ghost warriors and geniuses in the team after the second line of defense was breached by high-level corpse puppets. They never saw the Dao Lord and had no idea where there were any other blocking points.
