Chapter 2109: Treacherous Plan of the Ghost Cultivators

The underground cavern wasnt very big. There were only a few hundred people tearing each other apart. With Zhao Hai joining w.a.n.g Hus side, the situation immediately changed. Before long, the attackers have been repelled. When the Ghost Shadow Gang retreated, they left 100 corpses behind.

After the cultivators of the Ghost Shadow Gang retreated, w.a.n.g Hu and the others let out a long breath. Then they couldnt help but cheer.

After some time, w.a.n.g Hu and the others calmed down. Then w.a.n.g Hu went in front of Zhao Hai and then kneeled down. Zhao Hai was startled, he quickly stopped w.a.n.g Hu and said, Brother w.a.n.g, theres no need.

w.a.n.g Hus eyes were red as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, Thank you for your help. If Mister wasnt here, all of us would have died.

Zhao Hai patted w.a.n.g Hus shoulder and said, Alright, theres no need to be polite with me. Tell me whats going on with the Ghost Shadow Gang. Right, have everyone gather the corpses of the Ghost Shadow Gang members, I have a use for them. w.a.n.g Hu complied, then he ordered everyone to move the corpses. Meanwhile, he led Zhao Hai to a smaller cavern.

After entering the small cavern, w.a.n.g Hu opened his mouth and said, The Ghost Shadow Gang appeared around a year ago. n.o.body knew who established the group, but those who joined improved their strength in a short period of time. The only downside is that these people became more aggressive. They easily kill people. Sometimes fellow Ghost Shadow Gang members fight and kill each other. As rogue cultivators, it was an alluring group to join. The Ghost Shadow Gang invited our group several times, but we didnt agree. All of a sudden, they attacked us while we were resting. They took us by surprise.

Zhao Hai frowned, Does the Tyrant Blade Sect know about the Ghost Shadow Gang.

w.a.n.g Hu shook his head, They shouldnt be aware. Rogue cultivators have an unwritten rule. No matter what happens in the labyrinth, we wont tell the Tyrant Blade Sect. Because of this, the Tyrant Blade Sect should be completely unaware of the gangs actions.

Zhao Hai nodded, Tell me more about the people of the Ghost Shadow Gang. Besides their rapid strength increase and their cruel nature, are there other characteristics?

w.a.n.g Hu thought for a moment and then said, I havent found any other characteristics. However, there are places in the labyrinth that the gang listed as forbidden areas. n.o.body is allowed to enter. If they did, they would be hunted down by the gang.

Zhao Hai knit his brows and asked, What are these places? Is there anything special about them?

w.a.n.g Hu replied, They arent special places nor are they the dangerous zones of the labyrinth. I heard that the listed places produce special herbs, or have special beasts. Some of these places are infested with zombies.

Hearing this, Zhao Hai couldnt help but frown. Why wasnt he aware that the labyrinth has zombies? The appearance of zombies signifies the presence of a region rich in yin qi. These areas would also be good for ghost cultivation.

At this time, the others carried the corpses to Zhao Hai. But upon looking at the corpses, Zhao Hai couldnt help but stare. This was because the corpses didnt have any traces of a soul. Zhao Hai tried to revive them using the dark mist, but nothing happened. Any strength of soul completely vanished from the corpses.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhao Hais brows wrinkled tighter. He carefully recalled how different these people were from normal cultivators.

After careful thinking, Zhao Hai thought about something. Besides their unstable realm, their souls seemed very weak. Moreover, there was a clump of black gas on their foreheads. If Zhao Hai hasnt misread, the black gas was death qi. In other words, even if these people didnt die immediately, they wouldnt be able to live for long.

But Zhao Hai was certain that these people wouldnt die immediately. The ma.s.s of death qi was strange. He couldnt figure it out. But he believes that sooner or later he will find out.

The others looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. They didnt know what Zhao Hai was doing. Zhao Hai looked at w.a.n.g Hu and said, Brother w.a.n.g, this is a strange situation. Im afraid the Ghost Shadow Gang is backed by a larger power. If you believe me, then you shouldnt enter the labyrinth for a period of time. This place has become dangerous.

w.a.n.g Hu nodded, I believe you. Well leave immediately. As long as the Ghost Shadow Gang exists, we wont return.

Zhao Hai nodded, Good choice. Brother w.a.n.g, you guys leave first. Ill head further inside to take a look. I want to know whats going on with the Ghost Shadow Gang.

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, w.a.n.g Hu became anxious. He quickly said, Mister, that wont be a good idea. Its too dangerous. You dont know this, but the Ghost Shadow Gang has a lot of members. Moreover, some of them have reached the Earth Monarch Stage.

Zhao Hai smiled and said, Dont worry about me. Ill be fine. You can go now. w.a.n.g Hu tried to convince Zhao Hai more but he failed. In the end, he nodded and then turned to leave.

But before w.a.n.g Hu could leave, Zho Hai took out a communication token and handed it to w.a.n.g Hu, Brother w.a.n.g, here. If something happens later, dont hesitate to inform me.

w.a.n.g Hu excitedly received the transmission token. Then after giving Zhao Hai a huge bow, he took out a jade token and crushed it. After a flash of white light, he disappeared. The others also used their jade tokens to leave.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhao Hai looked at the dead cultivators and sighed. He waved his hand and sent a wisp of fire to the corpses. Before long, the corpses turned into ash.

Zhao Hai looked around the cavern and then entered a tunnel close by. He disappeared after three turns. To be honest, Zhao Hai didnt expect to return to the underground labyrinth this soon. But the Ghost Shadow Gang has truly caught his attention.

w.a.n.g Hu told him that there were places that were blocked off by the Ghost Shadow Gang. He didnt know what they were doing there. So, Zhao Hai decided to check those places out first.

Zhao Hai traversed the labyrinth areas that he was familiar with. But before long, he entered the more dangerous areas. He looked at one of the more dangerous caverns and noticed that in addition to the skeleton mark outside, there were also a few new words that said: Ghost Shadow Gangs forbidden land. Outsiders are not allowed to enter!

Zhao Hai looked at the entrance and saw n.o.body. But this doesnt mean that Zhao Hai didnt see anything. Outside the cavern were several formations. It seems like the entrance has been sealed by the Ghost Shadow Gang.

Looking at the cavern ahead, Zhao Hai decided that he would go in to take a look. However, he wouldnt enter through the entrance. With a thought, Zhao Hais body sank into the ground and vanished from sight. He was going to enter from underground.

Using his earth-element divergent ability, Zhao Hai traveled underground. Before long, Zhao Hai appeared in the cavern. Like the entrance, the cavern was filled with formations. Some of the formations were alarm formations, but most of them were attack formations. If rogue cultivators came, these formations would claim their lives.

When Zhao Hai was a kilometer into the cavern, the formations disappeared. But instead, cultivators from the Ghost Shadow Clan with death qi between their eyebrows began appearing. Their entire body was also starting to reek of death.

This deepened Zhao Hais frown even further. After traveling for another kilometer, Zhao Hai was finally met with a huge s.p.a.ce. Most importantly, the s.p.a.ce had a very heavy presence of yin qi. This yin qi was essential to undead. Naturally, this was a place that Ghost Cultivators couldnt ignore.

But whats most surprising to Zhao Hai was that the huge s.p.a.ce had a gloomy feeling. It was a feeling similar to meeting a ghost cultivator.

Zhao Hai didnt go out and reveal himself. Instead, he dove underground and stopped. He heard two people talking. One of them said, Senior Brother, this is really a good place. Not only is it suitable for cultivation, there are also plenty of rogue cultivators to provide us with souls. In a few days, they would become our corpse slaves. Senior Brother, how did the Hall Master find this place? This is under the Tyrant Blade Sects domain. Isnt the Hall Master afraid that the Tyrant Blade Sect would find out?

The other cultivator shook his head, Dont worry, those rogue cultivators have their own rules. They wont tell the Tyrant Blade Sect about whats happening here. Were good here. We will make a base. And when we take action, we can kill our way out and directly control Maze Town. Hahaha. Well blossom right in the middle of the Tyrant Blade Sects territory. Even if we get defeated, a lot of people from Maze Town will still provide us with a lot of souls. Isnt that great?

Ghost cultivators. Zhao Hai was certain that the two people talking were Ghost Cultivators. And from what he heard, they seem to be planning on building a base in the labyrinth. It was actually a good idea. It was darkest underneath the lamp. The Tyrant Blade Sect wouldnt expect the Ghost Cultivators to build a base under their noses. If they succeed, then the Maze Town branch wouldnt be able to do anything. When the time comes, Maze Town would fall to the ghost cultivators. This would be a huge attack on the Tyrant Blade Sect. This would be inserting a nail deep inside the Tyrant Blade Sects territory.
