Chapter 143 Three groups of people are missing
Thinking of this, a deep sense of guilt surged in everyone's heart, and the atmosphere in the entire team of immortal cultivators instantly became extremely heavy and depressing, as if even the air had solidified.
However, just when everyone was immersed in grief and self-blame, what happened the next second left them dumbfounded.
After the light faded away, the female ghost actually stood firmly on one leg, motionless.
She lowered her head and shed tears silently. Crystal tears slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and splashed tiny teardrops.
Time passed minute by minute, and ten minutes passed in a flash, but the female ghost still maintained that posture, standing there quietly like a sculpture.
Another ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes later, and the female ghost still didn't move.
Everyone present stared at the mirror with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they saw.
At this moment, Lin Xian'er slowly walked to the huge mirror, stretched out her jade-like fingers, and gently tapped the mirror.
The crisp knocking sounds echoed in the silent space, appearing particularly clear.
"Hurry up, come back, be careful or you may never come back later", Lin Xianer's voice was heard by the female ghost in Yangcheng through the mirror.
The female ghost came to her senses instantly after hearing Lin Xianer's cry.
She was stunned at first, then burst into crazy laughter, "Wahahahahahahahahaha, I really am the chosen female ghost. I can't go to hell even like this."
The laughter resounded through the sky, as if to shatter the whole world.
However, after laughing, the female ghost suddenly sobbed, her cries sad and miserable, "Wuwuwuwuwu... Damn it, what I want most is to be able to reincarnate. Even this can't send me to hell, do I have some special physique?"
However, before the female ghost could feel proud for long, dazzling rays of light suddenly shot out from all directions not far away and attacked the female ghost as fast as lightning.
These lights contained powerful force, and wherever they passed, the air was torn apart, emitting sharp whistling sounds.
Faced with such a fierce attack, the female ghost was not afraid at all.
She stood there, hands on her hips, a scornful smile on her face, and shouted, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you. Hahaha, come on if you have the guts."
The rays of light hit the female ghost hard, making a series of earth-shaking noises.
However, surprisingly, the female ghost was unharmed. The light disappeared without a trace the moment it touched her body, as if it had never appeared.
This scene left those who were hiding in the dark and observing dumbfounded, their jaws almost dropping in shock.
They looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.
One of them couldn't help but curse under his breath, "What the hell is this woman? Why are our attacks completely ineffective on her?"
Because of the female ghost's arrogant words, the man was so angry that he stamped his feet and wanted to kill her on the spot, but he still had a bit of rationality and turned around and left with the others.
After the female ghost had been shouting arrogantly at the city gate for a long time, the surroundings remained quiet and there was no response at all.
She suddenly felt extremely bored, so she turned around and floated out of the city, muttering curses.
When she returned to the outskirts of the city, many people's eyes were focused on her, their eyes full of admiration and awe.
Someone exclaimed, "This female ghost is so powerful, she is immune to all attacks, it's amazing."
Although everyone envied this ability, when they thought about giving up their own lives in order to become a female ghost, most people still hoped to live well from the bottom of their hearts. Who would be willing to give up their precious life easily for such a small benefit?
However, not long after, the crowd suddenly fell into silence.
Because they all came to their senses and recalled the scene they had just seen. The huge city of Guangzhou was now empty. The streets that should have been bustling and lively became deserted and deserted.
Where did all those tens of thousands of residents go? This question weighed heavily on everyone’s mind.
Faced with such a bizarre situation, many people began to offer various suggestions. Some of them advocated conducting a thorough investigation outside Guangzhou to search for clues about the missing persons.
In addition, considering that there may be enemies hiding in the dark, each exploration team needs to consist of at least five people to ensure that they have sufficient care and support for each other.
Even those from Xiaoyun Sect were not spared and had to disperse and join various exploration teams.
Initially, each group progressed smoothly, encountering no danger or unusual situations. However, as darkness gradually fell and the groups gathered at the agreed time, everyone was surprised to find that three groups were missing.
What happened to these missing people? For a moment, fear and anxiety enveloped everyone's heart.
Among the disappeared people were people from various forces, including members of the Xiaoyun Sect.
Lin Xian'er's brows furrowed as she pondered a countermeasure. She inwardly asked the system, "Tongzi, can you detect where those missing people have gone?"
After a while, I could only hear the system's steady response in my mind, "Host, please wait a moment."
Time ticked by, and finally, the system spoke again, "Host, after some investigation, I have located their whereabouts. They are currently all trapped deep beneath Yangcheng, trapped by an immense spirit-eating tree. This tree is constantly draining the spiritual energy of everyone. Any ordinary mortal who approaches will be instantly annihilated. Even immortal cultivators, while able to hold out for a while, will ultimately suffer the same fate and meet a similarly tragic end. The members of the advance team and the other two teams are now all trapped there. Although the disciples of the Xiaoyun Sect have also been captured, they possess the talisman paper you, the host, have provided as protection, preventing their spiritual energy from being drained by the spirit-eating tree. However, they are now tightly bound by dense branches, making it difficult to break free."
Hearing this, Lin Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief, but then she asked again, "Is the Master of Medicine King Valley also trapped there like the others?"
[No.]
After getting this answer, Lin Xian'er's heart sank. It seemed that the Medicine King Valley was really colluding with the Evil Sect. However, she didn't know whether it was just the Medicine King Valley Master or everyone.
