Chapter 1463: Chapter 1459: Clues and Speculation Chapter 1463: Chapter 1459: Clues and Speculation “Thank you, Master Shen, let me go first. Alas, I am surnamed Wang, I live in Yongding Square, Iron Hat Alley. Although my life was poor, it was relatively peaceful. Two nights ago, I was fishing on the Golden Light River in the city when I encountered several black-robed men, sneaking around doing who knows what. One of them waved his hand at me, and just like that, I died,” the old man said, sighing heavily.

“Black-robed men? Did they have any distinguishing features?” Shen Luo asked eagerly, surprised to discover a critical point from the first person he questioned.

“At that time, I had no chance to see clearly before knowing nothing, I didn't notice anything,” the old man shook his head.

A trace of regret flashed in Shen Luo's eyes as he turned to the others.

“Immortal Master, my name is Wang Daqiu. I am a kitchen helper from Qizhen Square in Chang'an City. I was killed by a fox demon during the celebration, I didn't see any black-robed men,” another burly man said.

“Immortal Master, my name is Li Yong…”

The other souls also reported their names and what they had seen the previous night, but their accounts were somewhat jumbled and chaotic, offering no useful information, which made Shen Luo frown.

“Master Shen, my name is Ma Xianhe. Before the celebration, I saw a strange occurrence that was related to the demons at the celebration. It should be of use to you. However, I have a small request that I hope you could grant,” the merchant soul spoke after the others had finished.

“Oh, Your Excellency may speak freely of your wish,” Shen Luo, who had already noticed that the merchant soul knew some information, was intrigued and didn't mind the bargaining behavior.

“Ma Mian has always admired those who cultivate immortality, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to meet an Immortal Master. After I've told you what I've seen, I would like my son to take you as his master; I ask that you fulfill this wish,” The merchant soul bowed to Shen Luo.

“I have always been accustomed to being alone and have never considered taking disciples,” Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and said, shaking his head.

The merchant soul stood there, stunned.

“Although I do not take disciples, I know many monks. As long as your son has decent potential, it wouldn't be difficult to arrange for him to enter another sect,” Shen Luo said, changing his tone.

“Thank you, Master Shen.” The merchant soul's face, which had shown disappointment, lit up with gratitude.

“I've fulfilled your condition, now can you speak?” Shen Luo said.

“Of course, of course, allow me to report to you, Master Shen. Before the celebration, I saw many black-robed men as well. Near Yongding Square, in a hidden place, they were inserting many thick iron nails into the ground. And the ground where the nails were inserted… it was bleeding profusely…” the merchant soul quickly spoke, describing what he had seen in as much detail as possible.

“Thick iron nails? Blood? Where exactly is this location?” Shen Luo perked up, conjuring a map of Chang'an City with a wave of his hand.

“It's here,” the merchant soul scrutinized the map for a moment before pointing to a location.

Shen Luo saw this and his pupils contracted slightly. That place was right where a ground fissure was located.

“This is indeed very important to me. Shen Mian will keep his promise and will try his best to guide your son onto the path of immortality,” he nodded.

“Thank you, Master Shen,” said the merchant soul, bowing in thanks once again.

Shen Luo, seeing that he had asked all he could, was about to leave with these souls when a streak of escape light shot toward them from a distance–it was Soul Hook Horse Face.

He looked somewhat battered, with multiple injuries, but fortunately, none were severe.

“Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, are you alright?” Shen Luo asked.

“It's okay. Those ghosts chased me for a while, then suddenly scattered. You must have killed the leader of those ghosts, Friend Shen?” Soul Hook Horse Face addressed Shen Luo, inquiring.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo's expression changed slightly. Those ghosts outside had likely fled because the Ghost-controlling Flute had come into his possession.

The might of the Ghost-controlling Flute was beyond his expectation. It was capable of manipulating so many ghosts from afar, and he hoped the Dragon-burying Flute, crafted by the Fire Spirit Child, would retain this power.

“Are these the souls of Chang'an people? Why are there only so few?” Soul Hook Horse Face, not waiting for Shen Luo to speak, turned to the handful of souls and asked, puzzled.

The Chang'an people were startled by the strange and intimidating appearance of the Soul Hook Horse Face, and subconsciously hid behind Shen Luo.

“Do not be afraid, everyone. This is the Underworld Yin God, Soul Hook Horse Face. Though you are not cultivators, you should have heard of his name,” Shen Luo hurriedly reassured them.

The legend of Ox Head and Horse Face is well known to the common people, and only then did the souls of the people relax slightly, though they still subconsciously maintained a certain distance from him.

“When I arrived here, there was a Witch Tribe Array, and these souls happened to be standing inside the formation, protected by it. The rest were killed by a True Immortal-level ghost,” Shen Luo informed Soul Hook Horse Face.

“A True Immortal ghost? What is that person's name, did Brother Shen get a clear look at him?” Soul Hook Horse Face hurriedly asked.

Shen Luo nodded and, without using any hand gestures or spells, the void beside him shimmered with blue light, and a figure appeared–it was the image of the Nameless Wild Ghost.

“This man looks unfamiliar, I have not seen him before. What kind of God's Power does he use?” Soul Hook Horse Face examined the figure closely and shook his head.

“This ghost can wield Ancient Witchcraft, and most of the Magical Treasures he used are Witch Weapons. He's raised a three-headed Strange Python as a Ghost Pet and has also used a Lotus Supernatural Power,” Shen Luo said.

He felt that the Black Lotus Supernatural Power was particularly remarkable and quite different from the witchcraft used by the Nameless Wild Ghost, so he took the time to describe it in detail.
