Initially, Zhang Gu and I went to find Chen Jun together, encountered Wei Youming, and then several ghost cave people died there.
This matter should be the last information about me that ordinary people in the Ghost Cave organization know.
"Let's see the attitude of the leader." Zhang Gu replied calmly: "After all, Luo Xian Shen is still very important. We should trust those above and believe that they will not treat us unfairly."
"Yes, yes." Qu Wei beamed with a smile, his eyes already filled with anticipation, and the rest of the people in the car also showed signs of longing.
Finally, everything around has become somewhat familiar.
Old streets, mostly made of shanty houses, peeling paint, and even lampshades damaged by the road lamps.
The road is narrow.
After a while of driving on this narrow road, the car stopped in front of a small alley.
Qu Wei stopped the car, and they got out of the car first.
Zhang Gu pushed me out of the car last.
The sky is still clear, with no clouds in sight.
In the narrow alley, cool wind is whizzing past, causing an uncomfortable sensation that is difficult to describe.
I squinted slightly, gazing into the depths of the alley, but saw nothing but darkness.
There are no people around, but it still gives one a sense that all around are eyes watching us!
Qu Wei and the others walked forward with caution, while Zhang Gu pushed me twice more, and I started to walk forward calmly.
After walking for about five or six minutes, the alley reached its end.
The door in front of me is neatly aligned in three dimensions, with a round top.
It looks like a tombstone.
There are two couplets on both sides, like the mourning couplets on either side of a tombstone.
Normal people... who would live in such a ghostly place?
My heartbeat suddenly fell half a beat, and I suddenly thought of a detail issue.
The person we're supposed to meet should be the leader?
Zhang Gu, made by Si Ye, had previously said that they would look at the leader's attitude...
Meeting the leader first instead of seeking out the Ninth Elder would make things very troublesome!
Once the action starts, it's equivalent to having an additional enemy!
Si Ye... what the hell is he thinking?
Qu Wei walked forward and knocked on the door firmly.
Later, the narrow door opened.
The woman who opened the door was well-dressed, but had a skeletal appearance.
I could see her characteristics at a glance... she must also be a nourished spirit, which explains her appearance.
The woman glanced at us and inhaled softly before twisting her body and walking in.
Our group went through this narrow door.
From the outside, it didn't look very large.
After entering, it's a very spacious area, like an archery field.
There were many high-walled houses around, with at least two or three stories in height, but in essence, there was only one floor.
There were many inscriptions on the walls.
There are granaries and also signs warning about careful fire.
I suddenly understood.
The Ghost Cave's base should be one of the older places in Jin Yang City, at least it hasn't been developed in the past few decades.
In this case, I have essentially learned about a small circle within the range.
No... Si Ye!
Si Ye knows everything!
If Huang Shu has the intention to sweep through the Ghost Cave, he can give that information to Huang Si and Regulations Bureau.
The City God Temple is neutral, but it also fears the Ghost Cave.
It's just that I don't know how Huang Shu will decide.
In my thoughts, our group was led into a tall doorway.
The over ten-meter-high warehouse seemed even more spacious.
The high-power incandescent lights cast an almost brightly lit warehouse.
In the middle, there stood a tall statue.
I could only see the lower half of the statue, as the upper half was covered by a white cloth.
In front of the statue, there were several long tables that were used to worship three major sacrifices and a large number of candles.
The well-dressed, skeletal woman stopped in front of the statue, slightly bowing as if paying respects, and whispered something.
Someone slowly walked out from behind the statue.
This is a man.
A tall, but extremely thin man with only a skeletal frame!
His skin was dark with a hint of redness, and his eyes were almost all black, making it hard to see any whites.
At first glance, I almost thought this was a Nourished Spirit...
"Zhang Gu, hehe, I thought you were suppressed and taken away, or destroyed by that Twenty-Eight Hell. I didn't expect to give the organization a surprise." The man's voice sounded slightly hoarse.
His face showed no sign of joy or anger, just a calm, unflappable demeanor.
Zhang Gu bowed deeply and answered in a low voice: "It's all luck. I've been healing around the City God Temple because of Si Ye, and I dared not take any chances. I never expected that the City God Temple would be abandoned, and these two-faced traitors would appear."
"I subdued it and immediately notified my subordinates, so I dared to bring it back. Otherwise, I'm afraid Luo Xian Shen's target is too big, and someone might be following."
"Um."
The man, who is the leader of the Ghost Cave, walked slowly to the front and stopped in front of Zhang Gu.
Suddenly, he grabbed Zhang Gu's throat!
This scene caused Qu Wei and the others to change their faces dramatically!
Zhang Gu was also greatly surprised and made a muffled groan. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
He pulled sharply outward.
A gray mist was forcibly extracted from Zhang Gu's body!
Zhang Gu's body shook, and he collapsed to the ground.
The man sniffed slightly through his nostrils, as if distinguishing Zhang Gu's identity.
My heart skipped a beat, but my face didn't show any change.
"The body is too weak to withstand your contribution to the organization this time." The leader loosened his grip, and Zhang Gu stumbled back two steps, retreating with his soul.
The tension in my heart eased slightly.
Fortunately, Si Ye's disguise ability is also decent.
"Tian Shou Daochang suffered quite a loss, and the Ninth Elder was severely injured. That lonely woman beside Luo Xian Shen, haven't you seen her? She's not following him?"
A widowed woman?
Yu Xiu!?
A feeling of enlightenment suddenly surged into my heart.
Yes, Old Qin said that Yu Xiu was a widowed woman!
And the last time, when facing the Corpse Immortal, Old Gong screamed "Eight Defeated Widows!"
Then he called Luo Xian Shen.
At the time, I didn't understand what Old Gong meant.
Looking back now, I suddenly understand.
Old Gong was calling for me to use my bottom card!
"Eight Defeated Widows" is a kind of trump card.
Luo Pao is the secondary choice!
So the so-called "Eight Defeated Widows" refers to Yu Xiu!?
"This... widowed woman..."
"Understand... what else is there by Luo Xian Shen's side..."
"I saw only him yesterday."
"Uncle Huang at the City God Temple is also missing." Zhang Gu's voice was very elusive; after all, a soul is an intangible thing.
"Um, Siye was defeated, so the little Siye at the City God Temple daren't stay in the temple. He won't show up until the next Siye is formed."
"Hua Ji, take Zhang Gu and select a suitable body for him, as well as his subordinates, who should receive rewards." The leader glanced at the well-dressed, skeletal woman.
"Yes," the woman replied softly and led Zhang Gu to walk to the right of the statue.
Qu Wei and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing extreme excitement.
The scene now leaves only me and the leader.
My face turned ugly only then.
My expression turned ugly because of my current situation and the leader being in front of me.
But in reality, it was because of Si Ye's approach...
It seems he had no plan at all, just handing me over to the Ghost Cave and himself being sent away...
What does he want to do?
He wants to take a chance and have me handed over to the Ninth Elder?
What if this leader doesn't do that?
