Yang Zhenshan opened his crow-like mouth and said irritably, "That also means several Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Body Realm martial artists... no, itâs over a dozen!"
"No, what are they trying to do here?"
He guessed that there might be trouble with Xuanzhen, but he never imagined it would be such a big problem.
A faint smile appeared on Xuanzhenâs face, "To fan the flames and exacerbate the war between the Nether Prison Sect and the Three Sects of Lingxiu!"
"What is their goal?"
"To seize souls and refine the Blood Pool, creating Ghost Soldiers."
Yang Zhenshan really didnât know what to say, what on earth is this Unpredictable Ghost Sect?
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to think this over carefully, damn it, if Iâd known you had such big troubles, I wouldnât have come looking for you!"
"Hehe~~" Xuanzhen chuckled lightly, not feeling angry at Yang Zhenshanâs gripe; on the contrary, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
He didnât know if Yang Zhenshan could help him, but at least talking about these things relieved him somewhat.
"How can I contact you?"
Xuanzhen asked.
Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a Spirit Beast Bag?"
"Yes!"
"Put my soul crow into the Spirit Beast Bag. If you need to find me, you can just crush the soul crow!" Yang Zhenshan said.
The soul crow canât enter the Storage Bag but can enter the Spirit Beast Bag.
As long as the soul crow is damaged, Yang Zhenshan can immediately sense it.
"Alright!"
Xuanzhen nodded, immediately storing the soul crow into the Spirit Beast Bag, while Yang Zhenshan withdrew his consciousness.
He sat in the study, pondering over Xuanzhenâs situation.
According to Xuanzhen, this Unpredictable Ghost Sect seems to be an immensely large force.
But the existence of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect seemed very secretive, Yang Zhenshan had never heard of such a sect force while in Lotus Heart Valley.
Itâs very likely that the Unpredictable Ghost Sect isnât a force around the Yunxiao Mountain Range.
Unpredictable Ghost Sect, Yin Ghost Department!
Xuanzhen didnât mention what status the Yin Ghost Department holds within the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, but itâs certain that the Yin Ghost Department canât represent the whole Unpredictable Ghost Sect.
Hence, this Unpredictable Ghost Sect likely has Golden Core cultivators.
Provoking a force with Golden Core cultivators is obviously not a wise move.
But Yang Zhenshan couldnât just ignore Xuanzhen.
Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, pacing back and forth in the study.
Thereâs also this Yin Ghost Department wanting to fan the flames of war between the Nether Prison Sect and the Three Sects of Lingxiu, so should he give the Three Sects of Lingxiu a heads-up?
Currently, the Illusion Moon Sect is a partner of the Spirit Source Land, implying he and the Illusion Moon Sect are on the same side, but he has no ties with the other sects.
In fact, he would prefer to see the Nether Prison Sect and the Three Sects of Lingxiu go to war, as this benefits the Spirit Source Landâs quiet development in the shadows.
"Thereâs no rush in this matter; Xuanzhen is not in danger right now, so thereâs no need to hurry and save him!"
"As for the Three Sects of Lingxiu and the Nether Prison Sect, let them fight another round!"
"Even without the Unpredictable Ghost Sectâs secret instigation, the Nether Prison Sect would probably engage in war with the Three Sects of Lingxiu again!"
The truce terms between the Three Sects of Lingxiu and the Nether Prison Sect include jointly sharing the Ancient Relic Array, but now apart from the ore veins and Transmission Hall, the Ancient Array is empty.
Once the Nether Prison Sect representatives see this, they wonât be happy with the Three Sects of Lingxiu.
Itâs foreseeable that there will inevitably be conflict between the two sides, and if the Unpredictable Ghost Sect fuels it from behind, a bloody war is inevitable.
"Nether Prison Sect, Three Sects of Lingxiu, Hidden Sword Mountain, and an Unpredictable Ghost Sect, navigating through so many forces is truly a headache!"
"Seems like I need to keep a low profile!"
With this thought, Yang Zhenshan decided to announce seclusion to the Illusion Moon Sect, since he was currently staying at Moon Mountain of the Illusion Moon Sect.
However, shortly after returning from the Illusion Moon Sect, he sensed his soul crow had been crushed.
Back in the Quiet Chamber, Xuanzhen sat at the desk, curiously watching the soul crow reforming.
"This is quite a handy spell."
He complimented.
"Need something?" Yang Zhenshanâs consciousness reached the soul crow, feeling the remaining Soul Power, "This soul crow can only be destroyed three times. After that, the Soul Power will be depleted, so use it sparingly!"
It had been only two hours since he left, and Xuanzhen called him back already.
"Uh, there is something!" Xuanzhen said a bit sheepishly.
"What is it?"
"Are you familiar with the Lu family in the Ancient County?"
"Fairly familiar!" Yang Zhenshan replied, looking at him in surprise.
"I want you to help me find someone. About five years ago, a Foundation Establishment cultivator skilled in Thunder Skill exterminated an evil ghost in Ancient County City. I hope you can help me find him." Xuanzhen hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Itâs a task from Mo Xuanyu."
Yang Zhenshanâs expression turned strange.
"Whatâs wrong?" Xuanzhen felt a bit uncomfortable under his crow-black eyes.
"If Iâm not mistaken, the person youâre talking about is me!" Yang Zhenshan said openly.
"Itâs you!" Xuanzhen said in shock.
He honestly didnât expect that the person Mo Xuanyu was looking for would be Yang Zhenshan.
"Wait, arenât you skilled in Divine Soul Skill?"
He had seen Yang Zhenshanâs soul crow, and thought Yang Zhenshan was only skilled in Divine Soul Skill.
Yang Zhenshan said grumpily, "Thunder Skill, Divine Soul Skill, I know a bit of both."
He then asked, "What does Mo Xuanyu want from me?"
Xuanzhen chuckled, "To turn you into a Ghost Soldier!"
