Chapter 462: Chapter 458: Dangerous Situation (It's the end of the month, please vote) Chapter 462: Chapter 458: Dangerous Situation (It's the end of the month, please vote) “Do you know where I live in Chang'an City?” Shen Luo's pupils constricted, and he asked immediately.

“We do. Chen Gang told us. He seems to have placed a mark on you using some secret method which can be sensed through a detection disc. Big Brother has one,” said the white-robed teenager, not daring to withhold anything.

A chilling light flickered in Shen Luo's eyes, and his face looked slightly unpleasant.

He had secretly fled to Qu Chi Fang immediately after leaving the residence of Dan Yangzi that day. He originally thought he had done so without anyone knowing, but it turned out he was still in Chen Gang's trap.

He had only met Chen Gang for a short while, and he had been careful. How could Chen Gang have marked him?

In this case, his coincidental encounter with the five people here might have been a trap set up from the beginning!

“Could there be a problem with that bottle of Dual-element True Water?” Shen Luo felt a chill run down his spine as a thought suddenly popped into his head.

He took out the jade bottle containing the Dual-element True Water. More than half had been used, and only less than a quarter was left.

He observed the jade bottle inside and out but found nothing unusual. He then channeled his mana into it to sense carefully.

“Huh!” Shen Luo's eyes flickered.

A very faint fluctuation of mana was faintly emanating from the bottom of the jade bottle. If his cultivation level hadn't greatly improved and his senses become keener, he would have almost certainly missed it.

“Could this be that mark?” He thought to himself, but he could not confirm it.

Shen Luo pondered for a moment, put the jade bottle aside, and continued to ask, “What did you do when you found out that I had left Chang'an City?”

“We closely followed Your Excellency while informing Chen Gang. However, he seemed to be busy with other matters and could not spare the time, so he asked us to keep a close eye on you and not lose you. Big Brother was afraid that you would leave this place, so he came up with the idea to lure you to the rear hall and trap you here using the Cloud Array, leading to our current situation,” the white-robed teenager quickly continued.

Shen Luo recalled everything that had happened along the way, which was in line with what the white-robed teenager had said. It seemed that the teenager was not lying.

“Alright, you can rest now!” He raised his hand and pressed it on the forehead of the white-robed teenager. A dark glow radiated from his palm.

A look of terror filled the eyes of the white-robed teenager. However, he immediately rolled his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The Nightmare Technique was a spell that forced people into a deep sleep where they would experience endless nightmares. It was used for torturing others. However, Shen Luo hadn't practiced this technique; he could only force people to sleep.

He then woke up the leopard-headed big man. After a round of threats and intimidations, he also learned about Chen Gang from him. The information was basically the same as what the white-robed teenager had said, which confirmed the facts.

After knocking out the leopard-headed big man, Shen Luo's expression became contemplative.

His fight with the five friends from Mang Mountain had taken quite a long time, and Chen Gang might already be on his way here, or even inside the ancient tomb.

He couldn't determine where Chen Gang had placed the mark on him. If he tried to escape now, there would be a high chance of running into Chen Gang. It would be safer to stay here and wait for Chen Gang to come to him.

Shen Luo was familiar with the current environment and could set up some traps in advance, gaining the upper hand.

On the other hand, even Chen Gang would have to exert a lot of energy to go through the collapsed passage, while Shen Luo could wait and take advantage of the situation, which could increase his chances of winning.

The only thing that worried him slightly was that they were in the inner hall, and other powerful ghosts might appear.

“Anyway, I better recover my mana first.” Shen Luo took out a milky white pill obtained from Hu Yong and quietly started refining.

While refining the pill, he wasn't idle. He took the belongings of the red-skirted young woman and others one by one and examined them.

He had already checked; these people didn't have any storage magical tools, so they didn't have many belongings. Apart from a few magical instruments, there were materials like Yin Sha Xuan ice obtained before, as well as some elixirs, talismans, and other emergency items.

However, the elixirs and talismans were all ordinary and weren't of great value to him.

However, he found several middle-grade Fire Sword Talismans on the red-skirted woman, which were somewhat useful.

Shen Luo collected all the elixirs and talismans, and then checked out the magical tools.

The two black long knives of the one-eyed man and the leopard-headed big man, as he had guessed, were a pair of magical instruments. Each contained six-layered prohibitions and when used together, their power was no less than that of an average top-grade magical instrument.

The gray flying wheel of the white-robed youth was a top-grade magical instrument containing a seven-layer prohibition. It was quite powerful because it could be used for attack or to trap other people's magical tools inside the hollow part of the flying wheel, which was quite ingenious.

The final item was a silver ring of the red-skirted young woman. As Shen Luo examined it with his mana, he immediately found the extraordinary features of this ring.

“This magical instrument is pretty good, and the quality is significantly better than my green short axe!”

He first rejoiced, and then the smile on his face suddenly vanished. He abruptly raised his head to look towards the sealed passage, narrowing his eyes.

Although it was incredibly faint, he had definitely just heard a slight noise from inside.

“He's here, so fast!” Shen Luo was taken aback. He didn't have time to continue refining the pill, and he quickly collected all the items around him, stood up, and hid behind a pile of fallen rocks in the hall.

He took White Star with him. As for the bodies of the white-robed youth, leopard-headed big man, red-skirted young woman, and one-eyed man, he left them where they were.

He thought of a plan to make his enemies mistakenly believe something, and he was about to explain it to White Star.

Then, at that moment, the situation changed dramatically.

A massive wave of ghostly qi, filled with a vicious aura, came from the passage deep inside the hall.

Every hair on Shen Luo's body stood on end, and his body shook.

“This … this is a Nascent Soul Ghost! Damn, a formidable ghost has come out from the depths of the rear hall so quickly!” His face looked extremely bad.

The current situation was indeed precarious; there were powerful enemies in front and pursuit behind. He was almost trapped.

However, he had been stuck in the hall, and even if he wanted to escape, it wasn't easy to pass through the collapsed passage.

Shen Luo's experiences over the years had made him mentally strong. Although he was almost in a desperate situation now, he was not willing to give up. Numerous thoughts raced through his mind as he contemplated his escape plan.

“It's a bit risky, but there's no other option.” He made up his mind instantly. He took out a green pill, which was the Yin Zhe Pill he had obtained during the Underworld task. After taking it, a person's breath would disappear, his body would turn ice-cold, and he would enter a state of apparent death.

“White Star, I'm sorry for getting you involved in this dangerous situation. After I take this pill, you should turn me into a stone and then quickly return to the Eastern Sea,” said Shen Luo quickly. Simultaneously, he waved his hand to summon a stream of water and opened the Spirit Communicating Water Hole through the Art of Spirit Communication.

With the help of the Yin Zhe Pill and White Star's sealing technique, there was a chance they could fool the Nascent Soul Ghost.

White Star stared blankly at Shen Luo, then suddenly shook its head.
