Uncle Baishun and Mother Ah comforted me for a few more words, then began discussing the recent situation with the living formation. Seeing that I was listless, though, they only covered the important points and filtered out the details.
There was no way to enter the living formation now. Those in the Enlightenment stage could not even approach it. With Grandma stationed there, everyone could only watch from a distance, and quite a few ghosts who had gone there in groups had failed to come back out.
Uncle Baishun and Mother Ah told me not to worry. Everyone was keeping an eye on Grandma, so nothing would happen.
Recently, the people and ghosts around me had all met with misfortune. Everyone had come to comfort me, but since the problem remained unresolved and continued to plague me, there was truly no other way besides working hard myself.
Ziyi was still asleep. Several days had already passed, yet there was still no sign of her waking up. It seemed that absorbing Xia Haifei, a half-step Earth Immortal, had affected her greatly. I also had no intention of leaving her in the underworld. I would have to take her with me whenever I went out in the future, and I couldn't go back on my word.
I took out the box containing the Substitute Ghost Gu. I had no idea how the strange spirit inside was doing.
"Come out." I lifted the sealing talisman, opening only a tiny gap. With a buzz, the Great Mosquito Immortal shot straight into the sky and flew toward the cave entrance!
That speed was practically like lightning!
Alarmed, I hurriedly used the ghost-summoning technique and forcibly dragged it back.
"Hmph, the moment I open the box, you try to escape. Aren't you afraid I'll crush you?"
