Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 892 - 800: Reminiscing

"It's really possible." Jiang Yuan nodded and replied, "It does sound like contamination.

But why do the higher-ups in the Fengdu Underworld want so many ghost cultivators to take risks going in? What are you looking for?"

Qu Luming shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm just a minor Leopard Tail, assisting and overseeing the souls of beasts, birds, fish, and insects with Bird Beak, Fish Gill, and Wasp. I'm not qualified to know the core secrets."

He paused for a moment and added, "I only know that a very terrifying creature escaped from the Eighteen Layers of Hell and stole a treasure.

It's said to be a supreme treasure left by the Emperor of Fengdu. Once refined, the Netherworld might never find peace again.

Perhaps even though they've searched the entire Netherworld without finding a trace, they suspect that creature, with the treasure as protection, has escaped into the Sealed Land.

The orthodox ghost cultivators who have positions in the Fengdu Underworld and cultivate the 'Ghost Immortal Scripture' really look down on those so-called ghost cultivators of the side-paths.

There was even an incident before where rogue ghost cultivators slaughtered a city, leading to the massive culling of wandering ghost cultivators by Fengdu. So this time, those being summoned are all cannon fodder; even if they're all lost in there, it doesn't matter."

Pointing to the map that Tang Qin had copied, Qu Luming laughed, "We can also take this opportunity to figure out what's inside, achieving multiple goals at once."

"Tsk tsk..." Yan Xuan looked at Tang Qin with a bit of sympathy in his eyes, "Luckily, you escaped danger; it wasn't easy for you. But still, encountering something strange shouldn't scare you like this, right?"

Tang Qin was still trembling, and as she looked at Dai Hua'Er's big turtle, even it seemed a bit cute to her. She smiled bitterly, "Logically, at my current realm, no matter how terrifyingly strange the incident, it shouldn't scare me excessively.

But I just can't help being afraid right now; it's as if that eerie terror is etched into my bones, and I can't shake it off."

"It'll get better slowly; it must have been the Yellow Springs intimidating you, causing your soul to become unstable." Qu Luming toyed with the teacup and said, "I just managed to pinpoint your location and then transported in to bring you out.

Even in that brief time, it felt creepy, let alone the time you spent there worrying.

However, you shouldn't return to the Netherworld anytime soon; best to find a place to hide and not show yourself for a while.

Firstly, helping you escape already broke the rules; it's not good if others find out;

Secondly, you need a safe and comfortable environment to heal, not only for your physical injuries but also for the wounds to your divine soul, which if not healed, might affect your future cultivation."

"Slice! Slice!"

Yan Xuan tiptoed and sneakily pawed at the incomplete map on the table, and once discovered, scratched his head with his paw and whispered, "Master, that runaway fellow took a supreme treasure!

If it truly gets refined, there could be trouble; why not... hehe..."

He knew very well his master's clever means of dealing with the strange, and if it could be combined with his own Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing Realm physical advantage, they could surely dominate the ghost cave and locate the fugitive.

Snatching from a snatcher isn't shameful!

The supreme treasure left by the Emperor of Fengdu is evidently extraordinary, and offering it to the master could be a great accomplishment!

In the future, who in the little courtyard could surpass my status?

"No, no, no!" Qu Luming's face changed immediately, hurriedly waving his hand and saying, "Feel free to take the map if you like, but definitely don't risk your life getting involved in this matter!"

He lowered his voice and said, "Nearly all of Fengdu has moved out, and just among those I know, there are several Tribulation Crossing Realm seniors. No one dares to step inside easily, which speaks to the dangers within.

No matter how good a supreme treasure is, it's still external; what could be more important than your own life and well-being? Besides, you're all cultivators of spiritual energy, which is inconvenient everywhere in the Netherworld.

Moreover, who knows if that guy really escaped into the Sealed Land?

Even a ghost cultivator like Tang Qin can easily travel to other worlds, so for all we know, he might have already left the Netherworld. With no more clues, where else could we search?"

"That makes sense." Jiang Yuan agreed, stopping Yan Xuan from having any other ideas.

After all, the system had already reminded them to wait until the courtyard reached Level Ten. Rushing now wouldn't help; better to wait a bit longer. Maybe they could smoothly find the Sea Moon Tomb and acquire a powerful helmet, raising their combat effectiveness another notch.

He didn't have much confidence dealing with someone who could steal from the Eighteen Layers of Hell and run away.

As it was getting late, Qu Luming stood up and bade farewell, "Mr. Jiang, I've fulfilled your request to bring her back, and you'll have to make arrangements. I must return quickly; we can have tea and chat another time."

He came and went quickly, his figure disappearing with a few flickers in the autumn rain of the Market.

"Sir, I truly have nowhere to go now..." Tang Qin looked at him pitifully, standing up to bow, her softly trembling figure even more endearing, "Please, sir, if you could help me find a temporary place to stay, I would be eternally grateful and repay you with my utmost effort!"

Yan Xuan clapped his little paw and whisked away the map on the table, glancing sneakily at the enchanting and delicate Ghost Bride with a smile, "Might as well take her back home; it wouldn't hurt to have one more."

Jiang Yuan: ...

Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but with the way it was put, it somehow felt a bit odd.

Yet, if they could have Tang Qin stay at the little courtyard for recovery, then find an opportunity to examine her Immortal Shuttle and gather some information, they wouldn't need to seek aid from others to venture into the void!

"Miss Tang, I have a rather comfortable little courtyard, and it's quite safe. If you don't mind, you could stay there to recuperate. Besides, you haven't seen Zhile in a while, and I'm sure you'd have a lot to talk about." Jiang Yuan made a welcoming gesture and closed the shop door.
