Chapter 804 First Entry into the Ghost Realm 2
Zhou Lingchuan replied with a helpless expression:

"This woman who calls herself Wan Qian has a cultivation level above mine. I didn't realize she was hiding her cultivation level at the time, and I didn't know she was from the Lei family. Just now, when we paid our respects to Venerable Ranxi, she noticed it and told me through telepathy."

The lower-ranking disciples within the sect might not be aware of the feud between the Lei family and the Haoran Ancestor, but as the sect leader's personal disciples, the two of them knew it very well.

When the Ancestor Haoran led the sects that had ascended from the entire realm to the Chuyue Mountain Range, he briefly recounted his experiences in the Spirit Realm to the high-ranking cultivators within the sect. The Lei family was mentioned in particular, with the aim of instructing these elite disciples to be wary of Lei family cultivators when they were training outside.

After all, the decline of the Lei family was also due to the efforts of the Haoran Ancestor. Although the fault lay with the Lei family, which led the Haoran Ancestor to tear a piece of flesh from them and join the Loose Cultivator Alliance, things are different now. The sect founded by the Haoran Ancestor has ascended to the Spirit Realm, giving him a weakness.

If the Lei family wanted to cause trouble for the Haoran Ancestor, they would definitely take action against the Haoran Sect disciples in secret. The Lei family did not have the courage to face the Haoran Ancestor head-on, so Zhou Lingchuan took Ranxi Venerable's reminder very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuhong instinctively asked a question:

"I was also there, why didn't Your Majesty send me a telepathic message?"

After hearing this, Zhou Lingchuan felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton. Was this the time to worry about such things?

“Senior brother, the Venerable One transmitted a message to you that the outcome for either of us would be the same. Now is not the time to dwell on this. We should think about how to get rid of Wan Qian.”

Sheng Yuhong also sensed the displeasure in his junior brother's tone, and immediately adjusted his expression, saying:

“You’re right. I don’t know why she’s deliberately getting close to us. We’d better find a chance to shake her off.”

Seeing that Sheng Yuhong had returned to normal, Zhou Lingchuan's expression softened. They then discussed how to deal with Wan Qian's plan. Wan Qian's cultivation was a realm higher than theirs, and they couldn't get rid of her just by being forceful. Now that they were in the Ghost Domain's territory, they had no choice but to outsmart her if they weren't confident in a direct confrontation.

On the other side, Yunxi and Cao Yi entered the city lord's mansion of Wugui City and met the city lord of Wugui City, who turned out to be an acquaintance.

The Lord of Lizhe City hadn't expected to see Ranxi again, especially since her cultivation level was now above his. This time, he politely cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, it's been a long time! Your cultivation has become even more solid. Congratulations!"

Yunxi returned the greeting with a cupped hand, and naturally recognized Li Ze, saying with a smile:

"I never expected to meet Lord Lizhe in the Ghost Realm. Back then, the Wei family was protected by the city lord, and not only did they successfully rent their clan land to the Spring Breeze Sect, but they also moved to a new city. I left in a hurry at the time and didn't even have time to thank the city lord in person."

Li Ze waved his hand and said:
"Your Excellency Ranxi, you are too kind. It was nothing at all."

Cao Yi didn't speak after entering the reception room, watching Ran Xi and the Lord of Li Ze exchange pleasantries.

He still remembered this Lord Li Ze. After the entire realm ascended, the sects and families rooted in the Western Regions were basically affected. In order to guard the Cloud Sea, the Spirit Realm could only let each region send people to take over the territory of the Western Regions. Haoran City was taken over by this ghost cultivator in the early stage of the Integration Realm.

Although Cao Yi had never met the temporary city lord of Haoran City, he had heard his sect disciples mention that Li Ze was a high-level ghost cultivator who liked to wear purple robes and had a face that resembled a man but not a woman. Because he followed the path of ghost cultivation, his temperament was somewhat effeminate, but he was still considered a powerful ghost cultivator. He just didn't expect that the other party would now become the city lord of Wugui City.

Yunxi and Lizhe happened to be talking about this very issue.

"When did Lord Lizhe leave Haoran City?" "It's been almost ten years since I left Haoran City. After all, it's the territory of the Spirit Realm, not suitable for us ghost cultivators to stay there permanently. I went to Haoran City to accept a mission, and I returned to the Ghost Realm after the mission was completed."

Li Ze raised his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes and answered Yun Xi's question with a smile.

"I see. With the cultivation level of Lord Lizhe, staying in the Spirit Realm for a long time would indeed be detrimental to his cultivation. It seems that staying in the Ghost Realm would be more comfortable."

"Of course, but the Ghost Realm hasn't been peaceful during my time back."

Li Ze sighed and steered the conversation back on track. Yun Xi also put on an expression of eagerness to hear more, letting Li Ze continue.

Li Ze mentioned the unidentified black hole that appeared in the Spirit Realm. He didn't know when it started, but the black hole had been devouring ghost cultivators. Moreover, as more and more ghost cultivators were devoured, the black hole grew larger and larger. Eventually, it even split into two, appearing and disappearing mysteriously in the Ghost Realm, which alarmed the high-level ghost cultivators.

As Qianmei had predicted, the powerful ghost cultivators sent high-level ghost cultivators to find the black hole in order to eliminate this scourge. However, they discovered that they could not get close to the black hole at all. The black hole actually suppressed the ghost cultivators, causing them to lose several Nascent Soul ghost cultivators. After the matter escalated, it was the True Venerable Mingyou who made the final decision to ask cultivators from the other four regions to come and help.

"Lord of Lizhe City, have you ever seen that black hole?"

Li Ze nodded and said:
“I’ve seen one of the smaller black holes. At that time, that black hole swallowed two ghost cultivators with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage. My attack landed on the black hole, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea. It didn’t cause any damage to the black hole at all, and then the black hole disappeared.”

After saying that, he gestured with his hand to indicate the size of the black hole, which was about the size of a bathtub.

"I was very frustrated at the time, but I didn't chase after him. The True Venerable Mingyou issued a notice in the Ghost Realm, telling ghost cultivators to avoid the black hole as much as possible and not to confront it head-on."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
“The True Venerable Mingyou did this to protect you, because the unknown is the most terrifying.”

Li Ze nodded helplessly. Because of the appearance of the black hole, the ghost cultivators were all somewhat uneasy. Apart from necessary outings, they usually hid away to cultivate and dared not appear in groups.

"You two are among the first cultivators to arrive in the Ghost Realm to provide support. We apologize that you will be staying in the City Lord's Mansion for the time being. Once all the cultivators invited by True Venerable Mingyou have arrived, we will work together to find a solution."

"That's fine. I'll take Cao Yi and me to wander around Wugui City for the next couple of days and see if we can find any clues."

Li Ze naturally wouldn't refuse, but he still reminded him:
"This is not the central city of the Ghost Realm. The black hole has only appeared here once, so you may not encounter it. However, it is still better to be careful."

"Thank you for reminding."

Yunxi bowed in thanks, and then, led by the ghost servants of the city lord's mansion, she and Cao Yi went to a side courtyard with a spirit-gathering array set up as their temporary residence.

After the isolation array in the courtyard was set in place, Yunxi and Cao Yi sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard and began to discuss the support mission.

"Cao Yi, what do you think?"

"The black hole deliberately devoured the ghost cultivators, probably using the soul power cultivated by the ghost cultivators as its driving force. As for its elusive nature, it seems that it closed the hole after achieving its purpose, which is why they thought the black hole had disappeared."
