Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257 Pretending to be from the Ghost Tribe, Boss Tu Meng

Xu Zimei and Xie Changliu exchanged a glance, surprised at how easily Garona agreed.

This was somewhat unexpected for both of them.

“What? Afraid I’ll go back on my word?” Garona laughed lightly and said.

“Rest assured, when Garona says something, it always gets done.”

“There’s nothing to fear, even if you back out, it’s just a bit more trouble,” Xu Zimei replied, tossing the Reincarnation Pearl over to her.

Garona caught the Reincarnation Pearl, inspected it carefully, and only after confirming there was no issue did she cautiously put it away.

The Reincarnation Pearl holds great significance for Ghost Spirits, so she couldn’t help but be careful.

Then she extended her right hand, and a key-shaped object floated in the void.

The key turned slowly, and it seemed as though some sealing in the void was being opened.

This Ghost Temple was actually the entrance to the Gate of the Forbidden Land.

The entire Ghost Temple was sealed, the void filled with Spiritual Energy, and the surrounding gloom grew heavier and heavier.

Sounds of wailing and sobbing could be heard.

At the center of the sound, a gray Void Gate appeared.

Massive hands and skeletons strained to escape from the Void Gate, but a powerful suction pulled them back.

No matter how much the skeletons struggled, it was all in vain.

“Let me out, let me out,” the skeletons muttered lowly.

The scene was somewhat eerie.

“Please, the two of you,” Garona said with a light smile.

Xu Zimei stepped in first, with Xie Changliu closely following.

Garona’s smile faded as she waved her right hand, the key flew over, and the Void Gate naturally dissipated.

“You shouldn’t have let them in,” at that moment, an old voice sounded.

From the corner of the hall, an elder appeared, though it was unclear when he had arrived, he was less than a meter tall.

Leaning on a cane, his voice was a bit hoarse.

“Now that the Divine Race is restless and friction continues from both sides, letting them in, I’m afraid…”

Hearing the elder’s words, Garona calmly replied, “I sent them to the border of the Gods and Ghosts Clans.”

The elder was momentarily stunned, then laughed, “You’re quite the schemer, the border is heavily guarded, they won’t last long inside.”

………

Inside the Forbidden Land, under a currently unknown mountain.

Countless corpses of the Divine Race and Ghost Tribe were strewn across this uneven, scarred land.

This was a small-scale battle.

However, nobody noticed, because battles of this scale happened every day, and the dead were of little consequence.

The void began to twist, and Xu Zimei and Xie Changliu arrived right above these corpses.

“So this is the Forbidden Land,” Xie Changliu said.

Looking around, not a single living plant could be seen, only barren mountains and open plains shrouded in gloomy wind.

“What should we do now?” Xie Changliu asked.

“Although the Forbidden Land isn’t large, finding a small Rihua City would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Xu Zimei nodded, fully understanding this point.

Previously at the Nine Ghosts Academy, Lai Canyin gave him a map, which included the entire Ghost God Realm.

But it did not describe the Forbidden Land much.

Understandably, not everyone could enter the Forbidden Land freely, and once inside, leaving was even harder.

At least people knew you could enter the Forbidden Land from Netherworld City, but no one knew how to leave.

“I have an idea, though I’m not sure if it’ll work,” Xie Changliu spoke again.

“What idea?” Xu Zimei asked.

“I have a bottle of Hundred Ghosts Fluid,” Xie Changliu said, taking out a small bottle from his Storage Ring.

Inside was dark black fluid, yet it was clearly visible.

“Just applying this Hundred Ghosts Fluid will allow one to have the aura of the Ghost Tribe.

The Ghost King and below, including the Ghost King, won’t sense it; only more powerful beings can detect it.”

Xie Changliu explained, “I exchanged this in Netherworld City, and it was invaluable in stealing the Reincarnation Pearl.”

“You mean we should disguise ourselves as Ghost Tribe?” Xu Zimei realized.

“Exactly, disguise as Ghost Tribe to understand the situation here, and then proceed slowly,” Xie Changliu said.

“This method could work,” Xu Zimei nodded.

The two changed into the clothes of the deceased Ghost Tribe nearby.

As a drop of Hundred Ghosts Fluid fell, it transformed into countless phenomena, wrapping around the two like a shadowy wind, encasing them.

Their skin felt itchy, as if countless ants were nibbling.

Xu Zimei looked to the north.

“The evil qi is heavy there, probably where the Ghost Tribe is gathering.

Let’s go have a look,” he said.

The two followed the trail of evil qi, encountering countless Ghost Spirits along the way.

There were White Bone Ghosts crawling out of the ground and wandering souls in the void.

There were Fire Ghosts that fed on flames, Evil Spirits, and Resentful Spirits.

However, due to their own Ghost Tribe aura, these ghosts did not bother them, merely taking a glance.

………

“You two, what are you doing?” At that moment, a team of Ghost Spirits approached from a distance.

The leader of the Ghost Spirits was a Wolf Spirit Ghost, presumably a wolf in its previous life.

Fiercely fearsome in appearance, it was quite terrifying.

“We’re a patrol team, ambushed by the Divine Race, and escaped back,” Xie Changliu quickly said before Xu Zimei could speak.

Recalling the previously deceased Ghost Tribe.

The Wolf Spirit Ghost wasn’t suspicious, as the daily deaths of Ghost Spirits were numerous, which was not uncommon.

The Wolf Spirit Ghost scrutinized them and said, “Since you’re all dead, you might as well follow me.

You two seem clever, I’ll take you in.”

“How should we address you, Boss?” Xie Changliu asked with a smile.

“Our captain is Tu Meng, a favored subordinate of the Ghost King of Youdu,” a long-haired ghost quickly introduced.

“Then we’ll follow Boss Tu; we hope to have your guidance,” Xie Changliu signaled to Xu Zimei, replying with a smile.

“We’re just about to patrol the south, so you might as well come along,” Tu Meng said.

After speaking, he left, other Ghost Spirits leading Xu Zimei and Xie Changliu southward.

“Recently, the Divine Race has been restless, keep your eyes open,” Tu Meng instructed as they walked.

“The Flower of Death blooms at random, don’t keep it to yourself if you find it, it must be handed over.”

Xu Zimei knew these words were directed at them and did not refute.

The group continued heading southward.

Xie Changliu asked with a smile, “Boss Tu, do you know why the Divine Race wants to fight our Ghost Tribe?

Wouldn’t it be better if the Forbidden Land was evenly managed by both?”
