This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The situation was quite different once you entered the ghost town.

All sorts of ghosts roamed the city in an orderly fashion, without any sign of disorder.

If it weren't for Qingfeng's ability to see through their sinister aura at a glance, one might mistake this place for a human city.

Qingfeng glanced back at the city gate, and understood.

"No wonder we couldn't sense anything coming from inside; it turns out there's a very high-level magic array blocking the way at the city gate..."

Then I thought about it again.

"The being who could block my spiritual probe must have been at least an Earth Immortal in cultivation to have set up this protective array..."

Of course, even if there were earth immortals, Qingfeng was not afraid at all.

He has the confidence to back it up.

Because he possesses the celestial treasure "Haotian Mirror" bestowed upon him by his master, Li Daoxuan, he can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant if he is defeated.

Unless the opponent can kill him before he has any chance to react.

Two little devils led him step by step into the depths of the ghost city, using a sinister chain.

Qingfeng did not resist; in fact, he deliberately cooperated with them, otherwise, these two Yin soldiers would not have been able to pull him away at all.

We strolled along the way, taking in the sights as if we were sightseeing, and found it all quite novel.

There are also ghosts in the Jingming Cave Heaven, but due to the influence of the rules of the Jingming Cave Heaven, it is extremely difficult for powerful ghosts to be born there.

The Xuanhuang Great World is different. Here, you can encounter ghosts everywhere in the wild, but the number of fierce ghosts is relatively small.

But in this city, vengeful ghosts are quite common.

This ghost town was quite large; it took nearly an hour to finally reach our destination after following two ghostly soldiers.

The destination was a prison, and as soon as Qingfeng approached, he sensed the presence of many living people inside.

Two ghostly soldiers drove him inside and casually locked him in a pitch-black cell.

The commotion alerted the other prisoners, but when Qingfeng looked up, he found that these people were numb, with weak life force, and were all emaciated, like dried corpses.

Qingfeng even saw that some of the people in the prison were already dead, and their bodies were already rotting.

"If I die...and become a ghost, will I be like the ghosts in this ghost town?"

A question arose in Qingfeng's mind.

However, this question was soon answered.

In a nearby prison cell, a prisoner breathed his last and died.

Qingfeng witnessed his soul being taken away by a ghostly soldier using a cloth bag.

"I see..."

Qingfeng felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

The vast majority of people in this prison have exhausted their vitality and suffered great trauma to their souls. Even if Qingfeng forcibly prolongs their lives, they will live the rest of their lives like walking corpses.

Physical damage is easy to heal, but damage to the soul is extremely difficult to repair.

Unless one possesses the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill recorded in the "Taiyi Danjing" passed down by a master.

The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is one of the top-grade pills in the "Taiyi Danjing: External Alchemy Chapter". Even his master might not have it, let alone him.

"Why..."

Qingfeng sighed helplessly, forced to watch them pass away...

Qingfeng scanned the area, hoping to find any survivors worth saving.

There were probably four or five hundred people in the entire prison, but what suffocated Qingfeng was that only about ten of them were able to return to normal life after being rescued.

Moreover, these dozen or so people were basically at the limit of collapse. If they hadn't been martial artists with considerable strength, they probably would have ended up like the others long ago.

"Save as many as you can..."

Qingfeng took a deep breath and quickly drew a talisman.

One after another, protective talismans and calming talismans flew out from the gaps in the cell where he was imprisoned and landed on the dozen or so people.

They protected their bodies and souls.

Just then, the prison door was suddenly opened.

Four or five ghostly soldiers walked in, grabbed a few people, and turned to leave.

About half an hour later, these people were thrown back, already turned into several corpses.

"Didn't they say they caught a new person today? Bring them over..."

Suddenly, a ghostly soldier spoke.

The remaining ghost soldiers immediately walked towards Qingfeng's prison.

To find out what these ghost soldiers wanted by capturing living people, Qingfeng concealed his aura and transformed into a mortal with no cultivation, allowing the ghost soldiers to take him away.

Upon exiting the prison, a ghostly figure resembling a scholar stood at the entrance.

Qingfeng glanced at him and discovered that this ghost was actually quite powerful. If compared by the amplitude of its aura fluctuations, it was comparable to a human martial artist at the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm.

"Hmm? How...how did you capture this person?"

The scholar-ghost suddenly asked.

The ghost soldiers hurriedly replied:

"Reporting to the strategist, this person may be a mortal who accidentally wandered into our Underworld Island. We discovered him outside the city and captured him."

The scholar was very suspicious. He stepped forward and used his bone fan to lift Qingfeng's chin. Qingfeng pretended to be unconscious and let him do as he pleased.

After watching for a while, and even using his Yin energy to examine Qingfeng's physique, the scholar finally relaxed.

"He is indeed a mortal, with strong blood and abundant spiritual energy. The Ghost Emperor should like him. Alright, leave him to me..."

The ghost soldiers quickly handed the chains to the scholar and respectfully saw him off.

The scholar led Qingfeng toward a palace in the center of the ghost city.

Upon arriving at the palace gates, Qingfeng sensed a large number of guards watching over the entrance.

As they went deeper, the strength of the guards increased.

When they stopped at the entrance of the last enormous palace, the guards there were no weaker than martial artists at the Ninth Heaven.

Qingfeng glanced at the enormous palace, his heart already filled with murderous intent.

This enormous palace was built entirely from human skeletons.

This one palace alone would require at least tens of thousands of lives to supply.

"Such a monster must not be allowed to live..."

Qingfeng murmured to himself.

The scholar stopped at the palace gate, his expression extremely respectful.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered a blood delicacy of exceptional quality and have brought it to you."

After a few moments of silence, there was a response from inside the palace.

"Bring it in..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace gates opened by themselves.

In an instant, a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

To Qingfeng's surprise, the so-called Ghost Emperor was actually a female ghost, judging from her voice.

The scholar dared not delay, so he grabbed Qingfeng and flung him inside.

Qingfeng fell directly to the ground and rolled twice before stopping.

The palace gates closed in response.

"It really is a den of demons..."

A chill ran through Qingfeng's heart.

His primordial spirit power "saw" the scene inside the palace, where there was a huge pool of blood in the center.

Presumably, those imprisoned in jail had their life force drained by these ghosts, which is why they ended up here.

Moreover, Qingfeng also sensed many fragmented souls wandering in the blood pool, as if they were extra nutrients for the pool.

Just as Qingfeng was examining the blood pool, there was a sudden movement inside.

A human-shaped figure slowly rose from the center of the blood pool.

Judging from her graceful figure, she is clearly a female ghost.

However, her entire body was covered in blood, which dripped down her body, obscuring her true appearance.

Suddenly, a pair of dark, abyss-like eyes slowly opened, staring straight at Qingfeng with a hint of mockery in them.

"Stop pretending, you're not unconscious..."
