Chapter 1711 The Fierce Tiger Ghost King
Chen Xuan shook his head.
"Then how do we find them?"
"I don't know."
Chen Xuan truly didn't know why others trusted him so much, believing he could definitely solve the problem.
"What do we do then?"
Jingyin Daoist Nun and the Sloppy Daoist exchanged glances.
Chen Xuan said, "How about we catch a ghost and ask?"
"Can that work?" Jingyin Daoist Nun said.
"We'll know if we try!"
After speaking, Chen Xuan leaped up and reached out to grab the void.
In the sky, ghostly figures flashed from time to time.
With one grab, Chen Xuan caught a fierce ghost.
This ghost had green eyes and was a ball of black mist, possessing incredibly exaggerated arms and legs. Especially its arms, which were abnormally long, dragging on the ground like tails.
This type of green-eyed ghost was a ghost with intelligence.
Red-eyed ghosts generally lacked intelligence.
Upon seeing Chen Xuan, this green-eyed ghost seemed extremely fearful, trembling.
"Who are you... what kind of ghost are you?" Chen Xuan asked.
"I... I am... I am the Long-Armed Ghost. Because I killed several people in my previous life, chopping off their arms when I killed them, I became the Long-Armed Ghost after death."
The green-eyed ghost said, "This makes it impossible for me to cultivate normally like other ghosts, and I've become a low-level ghost in the underworld."
"I'll ask you one thing, answer honestly, or I'll make you cease to be a ghost," Chen Xuan said coldly.
"Speak, sir, ask whatever you wish. Your words, I will definitely reveal everything."
The green-eyed ghost said urgently.
Chen Xuan asked, "I ask you, who sent you to attack the human world?"
The green-eyed ghost looked bewildered and shook its head, "I don't know. We just heard some music and then we rushed here uncontrollably. We couldn't even control ourselves, otherwise, we wouldn't have attacked the human world."
"Really?"
"Absolutely true! Listen, the music is playing again."
Chen Xuan heard it and indeed, the sound of music arose.
"This is the Xuanmo Ghost Sound, a method specifically used to control fierce ghosts. We can follow this sound to find the mastermind behind it."
Jingyin Daoist Nun, who was proficient in music, recognized it immediately.
She hadn't expected the long-lost Xuanmo Ghost Sound to appear here.
However, this was normal. According to records of the Xuanmo Ghost Sound, it originated from the Ghost Realm. It was normal that it hadn't spread to the human world. If it was lost in the human world, it didn't mean it was lost in the Ghost Realm as well.
"Then please trouble Jingyin Daoist Nun to lead the way. This humble Taoist and Chen Xuan don't understand music." The Sloppy Daoist said.
He could only hear the Xuanmo Ghost Sound but couldn't discern the direction.
"Alright, follow me!"
Jingyin Daoist Nun shot off in a direction.
"Fortunately, Jingyin Daoist Nun is here. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have found that fellow."
Chen Xuan felt fortunate and quickly followed Jingyin Daoist Nun with the Sloppy Daoist.
"Whoosh—"
After Chen Xuan and the others left, the green-eyed long-armed ghost immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "They're finally gone. Otherwise, I'd probably be done for."
Another ghost approached, "Long-Armed Ghost, you're quite something. You told them where the Fierce Tiger Ghost King is. Aren't you afraid the Fierce Tiger Ghost King will scatter your soul and refine you completely?"
The Long-Armed Ghost said, "I'm even more afraid of the Red-Clad Queen!"
"That's true. The Red-Clad Queen has declared that anyone who dares to harm Chen Xuan will not be spared." That ghost nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"We're almost there!"
Soon, led by Jingyin Daoist Nun, they arrived at a small island. Jingyin Daoist Nun raised her fair arm, signaling them to stop.
"It's on this small island?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the island and then at the surrounding environment.
He couldn't help but frown.
There wasn't a single ghost here. It didn't look like the place where the mastermind ghost would be.
"Don't doubt me. Although there are no ghosts here, it actually indicates one thing."
"A feigned emptiness?"
"Exactly!"
"Good heavens, this mastermind ghost is quite intelligent," Chen Xuan said with surprise.
Jingyin Daoist Nun said, "Don't underestimate these ghosts. Many ghosts were transformed into ghosts after death. In fact, they have lived much longer than us, and there are many who are more intelligent than us."
"Indeed, we shouldn't underestimate them."
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, "Let's go, we need to hurry and see what's happening."
Thus, Chen Xuan and the others stepped onto the island.
After walking for another two kilometers, Chen Xuan and the others stopped, their gaze fixed on a hillside. On that hillside stood a fierce ghost wearing tiger armor, exuding an extraordinary aura.
He held a pipa in his hand, seemingly playing music.
"This is a Ghost King level expert from the Underworld!"
"This Ghost King level expert is roughly equivalent to a Soul Transformation stage expert among humans. If we were in the human world, we wouldn't fear him, but here, we must be cautious," the Sloppy Daoist warned.
The Sloppy Daoist's cultivation had now reached the early stage of Soul Transformation, but he couldn't exert his full strength here.
Jingyin Daoist Nun added, "The pipa in his hand might be one of the Ten Great Ghost Artifacts of the Ghost Realm, the Heavenly Ghost Profound Yin Pipa. It possesses the effect of soul-snatching and soul-capturing, making it a nemesis to our human race. We must be careful."
"I understand!"
Chen Xuan dared not be careless.
At this moment, the Fierce Tiger Ghost King, who was playing the pipa, suddenly changed his technique. Waves of invisible sound rushed out.
Boom boom boom—
The rocks in front of Chen Xuan and the others were instantly blown apart by the invisible shockwaves. If Chen Xuan and the others hadn't had astonishing defensive capabilities, they would have been finished.
"Who's there? Get out!"
The Fierce Tiger Ghost King said coldly.
Seeing that they had been discovered, Chen Xuan and the others also stood up and came before the Fierce Tiger Ghost King.
"Humans?"
Upon seeing Chen Xuan and the others, the Fierce Tiger Ghost King's pupils contracted violently.
Chen Xuan said, "Indeed!"
"Audacious humans, how dare you trespass into the Ghost Realm! Surrender and die at once!" the Fierce Tiger Ghost King roared angrily.
Chen Xuan sneered, "You scoundrel, you dispatched fierce ghosts to invade the human world, attempting to disrupt human peace. What face do you have to accuse me?"
"Hmph, I am for the peace between the human and ghost realms!"
The Fierce Tiger Ghost King said coldly.
Chen Xuan frowned, sensing a hidden motive, "What do you mean by that?"
"Surrender and die at once!"
The Fierce Tiger Ghost King immediately began to play the Heavenly Ghost Profound Yin Pipa.
Instantly, Chen Xuan and the others felt dizzy and disoriented, as if their souls were about to fly out.
"Is this the power of the Heavenly Ghost Profound Yin Pipa? It's too terrifying!"
Chen Xuan exclaimed.
Jingyin Daoist Nun flipped her palm, and an ancient zither appeared in her hand. She shouted, "Calming the Waves!!"
Her slender jade-like fingers moved rapidly across the zither.
Melodious music sounded.
Instantly, the situation for Chen Xuan and the others improved considerably.
"What a beautiful rendition of Calming the Waves! I didn't expect someone from the Xuanmen to be so proficient in music!"
The Sloppy Daoist also exclaimed repeatedly, "That old Taoist from Niubishan certainly has a good sister."
It seemed the Sloppy Daoist recognized the Sect Master of Longhu Mountain.
"You guys quickly find a way to deal with this fellow. I can't hold on much longer!" Jingyin Daoist Nun suddenly said.
