Chapter 632: You won't be so lucky next time.
"Hmm, is this the boundary of the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls?"
Gu Heng took a look.
Upon closer inspection at the boundary of this Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls, one can discover a very thin layer of light that stretches across the sky and earth, isolating the entire Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls.
He exclaimed in admiration, "This is quite a large project!"
In this world, anything is possible as long as you have enough strength.
What powerful cultivators can accomplish is not just a large project to those of low strength or ordinary people; it's practically a project for the stars!
"Is this the thing blocking the way?" Gu Heng looked at the Death Soul Witch King.
"Yes, this forbidden zone is one-way in, one-way out. Many of the wandering souls inside want to get out, but they simply can't cross this insurmountable barrier!"
The Death Soul Witch King knew all too well how outrageous this light curtain that enveloped the entire Death Soul Forbidden Domain was.
This is not something those "Thirteen Immortal Venerables" of the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm could pull off!
Those who besieged and hunted down the Soul-Devouring War Demons of the Underworld on the battlefield were not only the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal, but also powerful cultivators from the Immortal Realm!
They severely injured themselves, but dared not kill it, because they had devoured too many souls and harbored too much evil intent. If they killed it directly, it might completely corrupt this small part of the Little Xuantian Realm with the power of the underworld!
The cultivators of the Immortal Realm back then still possessed some sense of morality. Out of a desire to prevent the calamity of the Netherworld from spreading to these smaller worlds, they chose to set up an array to seal it away forever. The strength of this array was something only an Immortal King-level array master could have set up.
but.
Setting up a formation is one thing; how later generations utilize it is another.
There are cultivators from the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm who know how to freely enter this formation; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to transport fresh, living people in to serve as "food."
The Dead Soul Witch King couldn't force its way out; it could only wait for the Ancient Meteor Immortal Venerable to fulfill his promise and let it go.
but.
This is a problem for it, but for this unknown mastermind...
I'm afraid that's not a problem!
"Only in, no out, right?"
Gu Heng secretly calculated in his mind that when they were brought here yesterday, he did not feel that the light screen was blocking their way.
That treasure ship entered quite easily, didn't it?
And he left very easily!
This is not right.
This light barrier is probably not something that can be blocked by just anyone!
Perhaps it doesn't stop the living, but only the non-living!
"Then let me give it a try."
After Gu Heng finished speaking, he strode forward and headed towards the light screen.
The Death Soul Witch King behind him was also watching intently, until this mysterious expert walked out!
"Ha! I knew it."
Gu Heng looked back and saw that he had already stepped outside the light barrier without any hindrance!
Sure enough. This thing is for blocking ghosts, not people!
"Wow, is that so?!"
The Death Soul Witch King was utterly horrified, for it had just witnessed firsthand how this seemingly insurmountable array barrier had actually opened a small opening for this mysterious expert!
It originally thought that, faced with this barrier blocking its way, this expert would simply rely on his powerful strength to tear the barrier apart!
But that's not the case...
It was as if the barrier had opened a path for him on its own initiative, as if it was afraid of running into him!
The Death Soul Witch King couldn't understand it at all, but what it could understand was that when this person passed through the barrier, there was still no fluctuation of power on his body. He looked like a mortal with no strength, yet he could easily pass through the array barrier set up by the Immortal King...
What kind of old monster did I encounter?
It is said that once one's cultivation reaches the so-called "Emperor Rank," one can access many unseen powers and even the rules. However, that is too distant, and as a Death Soul Witch King created solely for war, he is not qualified to understand things at a higher level.
According to the celestial realm's terminology, could this guy be an Immortal Emperor, and the most powerful one at that?!
Only a Celestial Emperor could achieve this level of skill, right?
Or rather, is it above the Celestial Emperor?
"This place, I can come and go as I please. It seems nothing can stop me."
Gu Heng burst into laughter.
It's because I'm unfamiliar with the place that I was tricked by those ghostly words yesterday, something about "only death can leave this place." You can't leave if you're dead!
This light barrier will block all the ghosts that want to leave, but it can't stop people. Alright.
All problems were solved.
Since people can walk out so easily, there's no need to wait any longer. Let's go back and find those four girls, and take them away from this place of trouble.
It's getting late, and if I stay here, I'll hear ghosts grinding their teeth all around me as I travel at night. It's disgusting.
Gu Heng walked back.
The Death Soul Witch King rushed over, fawningly bowing with his hands clasped: "Congratulations! You can leave safely now."
"Hmm, it seems you're right, I can leave directly."
Gu Heng was quite satisfied.
Although things had gotten a bit unpleasant in that palace earlier, especially since that weak, vengeful ghost tried to trick and kill him, the way he was led was quite good, and it even cleared up his doubts. Gu Heng could temporarily forget about the unpleasantness. "It's alright, clearing up your doubts is what I should do!"
The Death Soul Witch King nodded and bowed repeatedly, his attitude becoming even more attentive than before.
"Alright, since you pointed me in the right direction, I won't kill you. Now get lost and don't go around harming other people."
"Otherwise, you're guaranteed to run into someone as kind as me next time!"
Gu Heng didn't want to keep this vengeful ghost around, so he waved his hand to drive it away.
Before he met me, this guy probably did a lot of bad things. Letting him go is even, but what if he continues to scam people and ends up getting himself into trouble...?
Then let him die.
He might even play a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) to celebrate.
"Thank you! Thank you so much, boss! I'll be leaving right away! I'll be leaving right away!"
The Death Soul Witch King was overjoyed. Finally, he was rid of that terrifying being!
It immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the horizon in just a few breaths.
"Hey, you're not bad at running away, but you're not strong enough in a fight."
Gu Heng watched in amazement.
That was a one-sided genius, probably putting all his skill points into speed, so after becoming a ghost, he could only continue to do swindling and cheating...
He embarked on his journey back.
When he arrived, Gu Heng memorized the location of Mingyuan Mountain to make sure he wouldn't make a mistake!
……
In mid-air, the Death Soul Witch King was overjoyed to have escaped with his life.
Damn it, I don't know how such a terrifying old monster got into this place. Not only did it barge into its Witch King's Palace, but it also dragged me out and is using me as a guide dog!
Now that he was far away from that plague god and no longer feared dying at any moment, the Death Soul Witch King naturally felt increasingly aggrieved.
But feeling frustrated is useless.
If you can't beat them, you can't beat them.
At this time.
"Lord Witch King!"
The Death Soul Witch King stopped, the voices of the two Great Hunters echoing in its mind!
What business do you have bothered me?
It was somewhat annoyed and was already planning to take its anger out on those two guys.
"The treasure you're looking for is in the Netherworld Mountain, held by four mortal ants. We can't handle it. We hope Your Majesty the Witch King will dedicate some of your power to annihilate them!" The two Great Hunters simultaneously sent out distress signals.
The Death Soul Witch King's heart skipped a beat.
It's the Primordial Soul Lamp!
That lamp actually ended up in the hands of a mere ant among mortals?
