So Much Luck Feels Wrong!
The celestial Ghost General was still in his imposing, sword pointed at the village, his body trembling with power. How could his subordinates and underlings have all been sucked into the black hole in the blink of an eye?
The Ghost General was stunned for a moment, then he rode on a black cloud and fled frantically into the distance—he had encountered a master! The master had captured all his Ghost Soldier in one fell swoop; he had to escape!
"Hahaha!" Senior Brother Three Days laughed heartily, putting away the black flag in his hand.
Down below, the people of Luoxin District felt a sudden chill, which was quickly replaced by warmth. The villagers were all bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
"Shuhang, let's go!" After putting away the black flag, Senior Brother Three Days grabbed Song Shuhang and the flying sword landed, turning into Escape Light. The two of them stepped on the flying sword and quickly caught up with the Ghost General.
Senior Brother Three Days deliberately let that Ghost General go... but if he let it go, how would he find its lair and wipe out all the Resentful Ghost, Ghost Soldier, and Ghost General in one fell swoop?
The flying Ghost General ahead also had questionable intelligence—there was no way around it; although the Ghost General had awakened most of their past memories and possessed a certain level of sentience, their intelligence was generally low.
This is a fatal flaw; it can only be fixed by advancing another level to become a Ghost General.
Therefore, the Ghost General never even considered the possibility that he had been deliberately let go.
He had only one thought in mind: escape! Escape back to his lair, where his two older brothers were. With the help of more Ghost Soldier and Resentful Ghost, he might be able to save his life.
He fled for his life as fast as he could, while his senior brother, Three Days, concealed himself and leisurely followed behind the Ghost General on his flying sword.
Soon, the Ghost General flew to the cemetery on the back hill of Luoxin District.
"So this is it?" Song Shuhang's eyes lit up. This was the cemetery where Tubo's grandfather had mentioned seeing 'ghostly figures'. Perhaps this was the lair of the Ghost General!
"That went so smoothly," Senior Brother Three Days said softly with a smile.
Yes, it was a smooth journey. Come to think of it, that sounds familiar...
Just then, the Ghost General in front of them suddenly disappeared into the graveyard.
Just as an ordinary person could dive into water, its form passed through the graveyard and went straight into the depths of the cemetery. Ghosts are not bound by the limitations of the material world; passing through walls Earth Escape is no problem for them...
"Senior Brother Three Days, how do we get in?" Song Shuhang asked, bewildered.
"Haha, why go in?" Senior Brother Three Days's eyes shone with a pale blue light, and a mysterious mark faintly appeared in his eyes.
Eye Aperture Talent – the Heavenly Eye Insight! This Eye Aperture Talent is far superior to Song Shuhang's 'Expert's Vision,' it's truly enviable.
Under the Heavenly Eye Insight, neither the graveyard nor the ground could block the gaze of Senior Brother Three Days.
"I see. The person who built this place is cunning." Three Days Brother Sanri laughed and continued Sword Flight with Song Shuhang, finally landing in front of a mountain wall.
After the Ghost General entered the graveyard, it followed a long passage all the way into the mountain wall. The interior of the mountain wall had long been secretly hollowed out, revealing a world within.
There was a hidden door in the mountain wall... However, Senior Brother Three Days didn't have time to figure out how to open it. He reached out and swung a palm at the hidden door. It was an ordinary palm strike, but his true energy surged forth.
Boom! With a single palm strike, the sect leader exploded!
Inside the hidden door was a vast space, filled with ghostly creatures.
At this moment, the Ghost General who had escaped back looked terrified and was still telling the other two, even more powerful Ghost General, about his encounter with a powerful cultivator in the village.
Suddenly, the hidden door in the stone wall opened!
The Ghost General had escaped turned around and saw his senior brother, who was Three Days old, and was immediately taken aback.
"It's him, brother! It's this human cultivator!" the Ghost General cried out frantically.
"Don't be afraid, let's attack together!" The leading Ghost General stood up and roared—this Ghost General was already close to the 'Ghost Commander' realm and was very cunning.
While directing his Ghost Soldier to attack his senior brother Three Days and Song Shuhang, he secretly retreated, preparing to escape.
"Hahahaha, where do you think you're going?" Senior Brother Three Days once again summoned the huge black flag, which swirled and turned into a black hole.
The black hole generated immense gravitational pull, sucking all the ghosts in the space away. Even the leading Ghost General screamed as he was drawn into the black hole.
When the senior brother put away the black flag Three Days later, not even a little Resentful Ghost remained in the cave.
"What a great harvest!" Senior Brother Three Days was very satisfied and in a great mood.
Song Shuhang glanced around. This was the headquarters of the "Altar Master's" Claw-Mark Beast Cards organization. But today, this organization had finally vanished completely, sinking to the bottom of the river of history.
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; it's not that they won't be, it's just that the time hasn't come yet," Song Shuhang said softly. He would go to the group chat later and tell the Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman that the Claw-Mark Beast Cards organization was completely finished.
One of the 'wishes' that the lord made when he was young has finally come true.
"Huh, Shuhang, do you know this place?" Senior Brother Three Days asked in confusion.
"Yes, I used to have some grudges with an organization here, but now, it's all over," Song Shuhang said with a smile, in high spirits.
"You came here to deal with the organization here?" Senior Brother Three Days asked.
"Yes, but... all the members of the organization were slaughtered by the Ghost General and Resentful Ghost. I had come here to ask them a question." Song Shuhang sighed, then said, "This organization used to destroy villages everywhere, sacrificing living people to summon Resentful Ghost. Now, they have all died at the hands of Resentful Ghost. It can be said that the grievances have been settled."
Senior Brother Three Days nodded, then said, "If this is the former stronghold of a small cultivation faction, Shuhang, search this place. You might find something unexpected."
Every organization of cultivators, regardless of size, will always have some treasures stored away.
Song Shuhang suddenly realized that when they killed the Altar Master, they had each received a black leather case full of treasure. This was the Altar Master's headquarters; there must be even more treasure here, right?
"Let me lend you a hand." Senior Brother Three Days once again activated his 'Heavenly Eye Insight' talent, his gaze searching throughout the space within the stone wall.
With the help of his senior brother Three Days, Song Shuhang quickly collected the items from the stone wall bit by bit.
First, there was a large suitcase full of money, containing approximately three million in cash.
The nature of the organization led by the Altar Master meant he wouldn't keep much money in banks; transactions were mostly cash-based. Originally, the Altar Master had hundreds of millions in cash, along with diamonds, gold, and other valuables... However, after his death, most of that money was divided among his subordinates. This three million was what was left over after everyone divided it, and it was temporarily kept at headquarters for emergency use.
Then, there was a box of small black beads, which seemed to be condensed with a dense ghostly aura.
"What are these?" Song Shuhang asked in confusion. They were definitely not black pearls.
Senior Brother Three Days glanced at them and chuckled, "These should be 'Soul Pearl' left behind by ghosts after they die. Nobody collects these things except Ghost Cultivator; they're useless."
Song Shuhang nodded. It seemed to be a useless item.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a vague message came from the Spirit Ghost within Heart Aperture: Food!
Food?
Song Shuhang immediately recalled the scene of the Spirit Ghost devouring the fragments of the Ghost General. Could it be that this Soul Pearl could also be used as food by the Spirit Ghost? Then this box of Soul Pearl wouldn't be considered a waste.
Finally... there was a pile of medicinal herbs.
When Song Shuhang looked at these medicinal herbs, he felt like they looked familiar.
"Huh, these are the medicinal herbs for refining Blood Qi Pill?" Song Shuhang exclaimed in surprise. All the medicinal herbs on the list that Senior White had left him were right in front of him!
"It seems the Medicine Master has taught you quite a bit~ These are the ingredients for refining the Blood Qi Pill." Senior Brother Three Days laughed heartily.
"Senior brother, I happen to need these medicinal herbs. Can I take the lion's share?" Song Shuhang asked shamelessly, preparing to share the spoils with his senior brother Three Days.
"Hahaha, no need. You can have all of these!" Senior Brother Three Days patted Song Shuhang's shoulder forcefully and said, "Money is useless to me; Soul Pearl are useless too; as for Blood Qi Pill, I can have as many as I want. And you need these things right now, so don't be polite with me. Besides... the number of Resentful Ghost, Ghost Soldier, and Ghost General I've obtained on this trip has completely exceeded my expectations. I'm already extremely satisfied."
Song Shuhang nodded shamelessly. "Then, senior brother, I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
He really needs these supplies, so he can't be coy.
If he were to say a few more sentimental words, Three Days brother couldn't refuse and had to accept a portion of the medicinal herbs, then Song Shuhang would have no chance to regret it.
With his senior's help, he packed up the medicinal herbs, and also took the box of 'Soul Pearl' and a box of cash.
Senior Brother Three Days laughed and said, "Let's go, let's leave. Although the ghosts have been completely eliminated, this place still feels eerie and makes me feel uneasy."
After saying that, he rode his Escape Light, carrying Song Shuhang away from the stone wall space and back to Luoxin District.
Song Shuhang stared at the box and package in his hands.
Today, I'm incredibly lucky. Not only did I successfully deal with the scourge of the 'Altar Master's subordinate,' but I also managed to collect the 'Blood Qi Pill' ingredients that Senior White needed me to gather!
This luck is simply out of this world!
However... even though I'm having such good luck today, I still have this strange feeling that something's not quite right.
Is there something I've overlooked?
