"Yun Dou greets Sect Leader Wan Yue." Amidst the bustling crowd, a white-haired elder bowed to Wan Yue. Wan Yue nodded and was led by the white-haired elder to a pile of ruins. The surroundings were in a terrible state. Countless stone pillars had collapsed and scattered. Among them, a few broken and huge stone pillars supported the roof above which one could vaguely see the cave entrance. Stone tables and stone stools were placed all around the place, and a huge array covered the roof above it. It shone with golden light and kept spinning. The white-haired old man bowed to Wan Yue again before stopping. Wan Yue smiled awkwardly and quickly said,"I'm late. Old sir, please don't forgive me." Then, the old man told Wan Yue Sect Master everything they knew about Ghost Cry City.
" The Ghost Cry City is located in an extremely cold place. It was originally called the Phoenix Cry City and was a prosperous city. However, thousands of years ago, the number of residents here decreased one by one for unknown reasons, from hundreds of thousands to a hundred thousand. Then, they moved here and no one lived here ever since." The old man trembled slightly as he recounted the results of countless Dream Heaven Sect's ancestors and descendants 'investigations. He was afraid that he would miss a word and hoped that the sect master could guess something from it. He had already reported back to the companions he had lost. "There's a city deep in this city. I heard that it was the residence of the previous city lord. Every night, there would be howls and roars that echoed in all directions until someone went here. There was no news. The few of us spread out our divine senses and tried to explore the city, but once our divine senses touched the city, we felt a suction force. It was an unbridled suction force that continuously sucked our divine senses towards that place. The few of us immediately cut off our divine senses. After that, a few people wanted to enter the city to take a look. However, they did the same thing as the first person who had disappeared. They lost contact with him, as if he had never existed in the world again. No Fated Stars came out of the city, no souls came out of the city, not even a trace of his aura. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.”The white-haired old man's face was filled with fear, and his body trembled non-stop. He spoke word by word, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Wan Yue with fear.
Wan Yue looked at the old man in front of her and scanned him with her divine sense." Hmm…There's no phenomenon. It's a human…" Wan Yue murmured. Something similar had happened in the Dream Heaven Sect. A group of cultivators had gone to a certain place, but there had been no news of them. Those who had gone to rescue them had also gone missing one by one. When she followed the next batch of peerless geniuses from the Dream Heaven Sect to rescue them, she had given the leader of the group a Celestial Artifact called the "horsetail whisk". The leader of the group was Wan Yue. When Wan Yue and the others arrived at the rescue site, they found that there were still people who had rescued the remnants of the previous group. After learning from the survivors that these cultivators had been controlled by someone and turned into puppets, one by one, they were walking corpses. Some of the people who had rescued them had even turned into puppets. Immediately, a terrifying thought appeared in Wan Yue's mind. Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere as a sharp sword pierced into one of the people's bodies. Everyone was shocked. Immediately, they saw the survivors behind them holding sharp swords and stabbing into themselves. In order to survive, those survivors had actually betrayed their fellow disciples. They continuously sent out rescue signals and divine senses to attract their companions to come and rescue them. Then, a great battle broke out. The people from both sides fought until the sky was dark. The ground was dyed red and actually formed a stream. It flowed slowly. It was unknown how long the battle had lasted, and how many of its companions had already died. At this moment, Wan Yue was the only one left on the scene. As the mastermind slowly appeared, the mastermind appeared in Wan Yue's mind. An old man with a bent back and a chilling smile told Wan Yue how he had cultivated an unknown mental cultivation method, how her companion had died tragically, and how he had tortured them. As he spoke, he spoke of how much their souls had increased his cultivation and how excited he was about their desire to live. With a sweep of the horsetail whisk, all the living auras were swept away. All the corpses disappeared. There were no bloodstains, no screams that echoed in the sky, and no wails that filled the sky. Everything disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only the blood-soaked Wan Yue and the scarred old man. It was unknown how long they had fought and how many times they had comprehended. It was unknown how many times the images of her companions appeared in her mind, until Wan Yue pierced through the old man's body with her horsetail whisk and turned everything into ashes. After Wan Yue defeated the old man, she didn't leave. She continued to sit there for an unknown amount of time until another group of people arrived and sat before her to ask her what had happened. Wan Yue smiled. She smiled very happily, as if she hadn't seen anyone for a long time. Her smile was very lonely. After that, Wan Yue was appointed as the Sect Master of the Miaolin Country sub-sect by the Main Sect. When Wan Yue returned to the Dream Heaven Sect, the elders of the Dream Heaven Sect found it absurd and bizarre. This matter alarmed the Sect Master of the Dream Heaven Sect. The Sect Master looked at Wan Yue and then at the horsetail whisk. He personally appointed Wan Yue as the leader of the Dream Heaven Sect branch in the Miaolin Country and changed the sect rules. No one was allowed to forcefully bring others to dangerous places.
" This place is fraught with danger. Stay behind to prevent any sudden changes. I can go alone," Wan Yue said slowly to the group behind her. It was as if the horsetail whisk incident from back then was still fresh in his mind." I want to go," Li Xuanyi said slowly. He had come here to break through. This place was calling him. Rather than calling him, it was more like resonance. It was impossible for him not to interfere in this matter. Absolute Heaven looked at the broken bricks on the roof and spread his divine sense across the entire continent. He even went deep into the city within the city. After an unknown amount of time, he smiled and said,"I see." He heard a black shadow standing in the city hundreds of thousands of feet away, sitting outside an open-air platform. Could it be Shanggao or Qiongji? Or was it a wonderful transformation? After a few breaths, the black shadow gradually disappeared. Wan Yue had gotten Li Xuanyi, Yan Zhuangfei, Su Si, Ye Si, Xiao Xiao, Nan Ye, Absolute Heaven, and company to come to Ghost Cry City. If they didn't investigate, they probably wouldn't even die. This was especially so for Nan Ye. He actually stood up and walked by himself, as though he wanted to head to the city within the city alone. Only when Su Si and Ye Zhuangfei pulled him back did he stop. Wan Yue really couldn't dissuade them. All of them were eloquent and good at sophistry, as though they were born debaters. This was especially so for Absolute Heaven. His words left everyone in shock. After explaining everyone's thoughts and worries, Absolute Heaven promised to protect them. Wan Yue then worriedly agreed to accompany them to take a look at the city within the city.
