As soon as he entered the palace, Qin Qi felt a burst of chilling wind hitting his face.

There was a particularly eerie feeling, as if countless eyes were staring at him!

Soon after, horrifying cries echoed from the distance, occasionally piercing into Qin Qi’s ears.

Glancing around, he felt that his mental state had been off ever since he came in.

"Qin Qi, be cautious!" Celestial Joyful Witch warned with slightly parted red lips, "Inside this palace, there is a power that can disturb the mind!"

"Presumably, it must be related to those cries!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi immediately reinforced his mind using his Sea of Consciousness.

Only then did his condition improve slightly!

"This place is indeed bizarre!" Qin Qi thought silently.

He scanned up and down, noticing several complex passages within the palace. His Sea of Consciousness was also limited; even when he expanded it to the fullest, he could only penetrate a short distance of a few yards.

This caused Qin Qi to furrow his brow.

Once they found Ming Lan, they would have to flee this place immediately!

Just at that moment!

A woman’s scream suddenly reached Qin Qi’s ears.

"Ah!"

As soon as he heard the scream, Qin Qi immediately identified it, because the voice was none other than Ming Lan.

Qin Qi swiftly memorized the direction of the sound, and with a flicker, he rushed towards one of the passages.

Once he reached the end of the passage, a side hall came into view.

Indeed, Ming Lan was there.

However, he didn’t hastily reveal himself but instead secretly observed from the side.

Because right in front of Ming Lan, there were two ghostly entities, and their Cultivation wasn’t low, both reaching the Fake Core Stage!

With Ming Lan’s Cultivation, facing these two ghostly entities, what chance did she have?

Moreover, she had never encountered such ghostly entities before, causing her to be petrified, her expression turning dreadful.

"Who...who are you!" Ming Lan asked nervously.

One ghost, with a green-faced and fang-filled visage, sneered, "Little human girl, I wonder if the Primordial Yin is still intact. If it is, that’s quite a supplement!"

The other ghost, with bull horns, was relatively calm, "Enough, stop fooling around. Even if this girl is a great supplement, it’s not for us!"

"Don’t forget, currently, the master is in a crucial standoff with that old master of mystery. These supplements are key to deciding the master’s victory!"

"After all, the master has orchestrated a great scheme to lure these humans to come willingly!"

The green-faced and fanged ghost cracked its neck, helplessly saying, "Just seeing such a great supplement, I couldn’t help but have some thoughts. Naturally, I won’t forget the master’s important affairs!"

"Because, if the master loses to that old ghost of mystery, and cannot escape, our fate will be forever sealed in this mysterious forest!"

Though Ming Lan found their words confusing, her intuition told her!

She must flee as soon as possible!

Thinking this, she turned and hurried towards the outside of the hall.

Upon seeing this, the two ghosts showed no panic, seemingly as if they had expected it.

One of them waved its hand, instantly transforming Ghost Qi into walls, sealing off all possible escape routes tightly!

"Little girl, where do you think you’re running to?"

As the ghostly entities closed in step by step.

Despair filled Ming Lan’s eyes.

She attempted to attack using Mana, but given her Cultivation, the Mana was swallowed by the Ghost Qi surrounding the ghosts the moment it was cast!

She couldn’t pose even the slightest threat.

"This!" Ming Lan bit her lip lightly, her feelings of despair growing even stronger at this moment.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Qi from the ghostly entities swiftly ravaged forth.

Ming Lan barely resisted a few times before her defenses were broken by the Ghost Qi, captured in mid-air.

"Alright, now we can deliver her to the master!"

"With such supplements, the master only needs to swallow a dozen more, and dealing with that old monster of mystery shouldn’t be a problem!"

As the two ghosts were about to leave with Ming Lan!

Suddenly, the horned ghost sensed something, "Who?"

But as it reacted, it seemed to be too late.

A Flying Sword pierced through the horned ghost’s back directly.

"Who!!" the horned ghost roared, "Just a mere Flying Sword..."

But as it spoke.

It vaguely sensed something, "No, why such abundant Yang Qi? Oh no, save me, it’s a Pure Yang Treasure!"

Boom!

The horned ghost instantly burst into smoke, shattering apart.

The other ghost stood completely rigid on the spot.

It expanded its Sea of Consciousness, trying to locate the attacker, yet before it could react, several Flying Swords sped towards it.

The green-faced and fanged ghost desperately resisted, but under the barrage of Flying Swords, held only for a short while.

Then, it was ambushed by an unknown flame that appeared from nowhere, vanishing instantly!

Upon the ghosts being nearly instantaneously eradicated!

Ming Lan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, looking around in astonishment.

"Qin Qi, is it...is it you?" Ming Lan exclaimed with delight.

"Indeed!"

Qin Qi gradually emerged from the distant passage, "Sister Ming Lan, how did you end up here?"

Ming Lan slowly opened her lovely lips, "I...I don’t know!"

"You don’t know either?" Qin Qi asked, full of surprise.

Ming Lan gently sighed, "I was collecting Spirit Plants outside the hall. I felt the hall was eerie and dared not venture inside!"

"But just as I planned to leave, a woman’s voice suddenly echoed in my mind. The voice seemed to possess endless magic!"

"After hearing the voice, I don’t know what happened. When I regained consciousness, I found myself inside the hall!"

Qin Qi frowned.

Based on the ghosts’ prior comments.

This hall likely housed a master capable of commanding these Fake Core Stage entities!

This place must not be lingered in!

Qin Qi immediately spoke, "Sister Ming Lan, there’s an eerie vibe everywhere; we should leave promptly!"

"Yes!" Ming Lan nodded lightly.

But just as he finished his words!

Suddenly, a woman’s voice echoed into his mind!

"Hehehe, little one, come quickly..."

"Sister is waiting for you!"

Upon hearing the voice, Qin Qi shuddered.

Instantly, he felt his consciousness blur.

At this critical moment.

The Soul Devourer from the Spirit Pet Bag jumped out; it seemed to sense something, and opened its mouth, roaring at Qin Qi.

The roar awakened Qin Qi on the spot.

"What...what happened?" Qin Qi asked, still shaken.

Celestial Joyful Witch replied leisurely, "Mental Attack; the practitioner’s skills highly proficient. If it weren’t for the Soul Devourer, you would have fallen victim just now!"

"Inside this hall, there exists a tremendously powerful presence! Qin Qi, you must be cautious."
