Boom, boom...!
Just as Jiang Zhi stood there utterly bewildered, the Ghost Servant Lantern Bearer before her and Ghost Servant Belly Drum before Meng Qingqiu suddenly vanished from where they stood without any warning.
It was not just Ghost Servant Belly Drum and Lantern Bearer. The other Ghost Servants locked in fierce combat with the other Peak Lords vanished almost simultaneously as well.
Rumble...!
When they reappeared, the enormous figures of the seven Ghost Servants loomed high in the sky, all pursuing that enormous black shadow from earlier.
Meng Qingqiu spoke in horror:
"Just who was inside that black shadow, to make all seven Ghost Servants abandon us?"
Jiang Zhi said nothing, merely trying once more to probe with her divine sense.
A moment later, her brows knitted tightly as she said:
"My earlier perception was right. There really is an aura inside that black shadow extremely similar to Taiping's."
But immediately afterward, she spoke again in bewilderment:
"But didn't Grand Martial Uncle say Taiping had already ascended to the Upper Realm and would never return to the Lower Realm?"
Boom-!
Just as she was thinking this, a tremendous crash rang out, and an even more terrifying aura fluctuation suddenly swept toward them from ahead.
Rumble...
Amid the violent trembling of heaven and earth, Jiang Zhi could now clearly sense that familiar presence within this aura without even deliberately releasing her divine sense.
But immediately, her sense of familiarity with this aura was replaced by a sense of its power.
Filled with horror, she could not help murmuring:
"This aura is at least eighty percent similar to Taiping's, but compared to the Taiping I knew, it's... more than ten times stronger!"
She even felt that "ten times" was not enough to describe how powerful this aura was.
Meng Qingqiu also
