45 - Hidden deep enough

Damn Fu Junqing, you have hidden your strength really well, you want to find something here and actually drag us down as a scapegoat, you sure are scheming!

”I think we're looking for the same thing?” Zhang Shaowu asked tentatively.

”I think it should be, the thing that they asked you to find, is the thing inside the Ghost Tower in the center of Misty Forest, right?” Fu Junqing was also extremely careful with his words.

Zhang Shaowu suddenly laughed loudly. ”So that's how it is! It seems that although we all have the same goal this time, our goals are different.

It seems that Zhang Shaowu and Fu Junqing's relationship was extremely good as well.

”Hmm, alright, depending on your own skill. I definitely won't agree to have you give such an important thing to Ghost Society. If we do, we won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future. ” Fu Junqing also began to feel that something was amiss.

”Hello? What are you all talking about? ” I'm getting more and more curious, and I want to get to the bottom of everything.

Zhang Shaowu turned around and explained to me: ”Su Su, you'll understand when we get the thing.”

Alright, it seems like you guys don't want to explain it to me right now, so Zhang Ziyuan and I were somehow involved in some strange matter. Since things had already come to this, he might as well make a trip to the Ghost Tower with them.

As we continued to walk deeper, we subdued a few wandering souls who didn't have high cultivation. Compared to the Blood Corpse s, we dealt with them a lot more. When the sky was about to brighten, we walked to the middle of the forest. A tall tower stood within it, and it seemed that this was the Ghost Tower that they were talking about.

Ghost Tower s did not look tall from the outside, a total of five floors. On the first floor, there were eight tightly shut doors.

”There are eight doors?” Which one should I go in from? ” I ran around the Ghost Tower but didn't find anything.

Zhang Shaowu took out a Gossip Disc from his bosom. It corresponded to the star phenomenon in the sky and the shape of the Ghost Tower as he calculated: ”Today's purple light belongs to the Yin. According to the location and the day today, walking through there should be a door of death.

He spoke a bunch of incomprehensible words. In any case, in conclusion, he was saying that he should just walk away from the gate. The question was, which one was the gate?

”This door is the gate.” Zhang Shaowu stood in front of a door, using a Gossip Disc as a medium, he muttered an incantation. A burst of yellow light shot out, and the door actually opened.

”It's really amazing!” The door that was opened was also pitch black, no one knew whether it was fierce or lucky, they immediately activated the pyretic lustre s on top of it to light it up.

”This thing is the legendary pyretic lustre? It's too magical, it's too easy to use in a place where you can't light a fire! ” Zhang Shaowu also seemed to be very fresh of pyretic lustre s and Space Abyssal Sword s.

”Should we leave one for the others to go in? ”What if something dangerous happens?” Fu Junqing suggested.

”I'm sure my wife and I went in. I don't feel safe leaving her there by herself.” Zhang Ziyuan's face turned white.

Zhang Shaowu also said: ”My techniques are the highest here, I am definitely going in, then Fu Junqing, will you stay?”

Fu Junqing could only nod his head: ”That's fine, if anything happens, I can still stay outside to support his. How about this, I will place a protective barrier around Su Su as usual, if I don't receive serious damage, there won't be a problem for three hours. Furthermore, as for the things I want to take, once you guys come out, Zhang Shaowu and I will decide who to give this to with a fair duel. ”

After the barrier was broken, Fu Junqing gave me a compass and told me that if anything were to happen, he would use the spirit inside to activate the compass.

I nodded, put away the compass, and walked in with Zhang Ziyuan and Zhang Shaowu.

The pyretic lustre flapped its wings in front to illuminate us, and we carefully walked at the back. I couldn't help but ask, ”What exactly is the thing that you are talking about? ”Don't even try to keep me in suspense.”

Zhang Shaowu laughed after hearing it, ”I didn't keep you in suspense. Actually, it wasn't anything impressive, I was just afraid that you wouldn't say anything more. There were seven artifacts placed at the highest level of the Ghost Tower that were used to suppress all of the wraiths in the tower, preventing them from coming out. Among them, there is a treasure called the Heaven and Earth Yin Charms, it is said that it has the power to tame the Ghost King, and was placed here when we were building this tower. Our goal is this Heaven and Earth Yin Charms. ”
