Chapter 504 - 504: Give Me Shen Yaowei’s Soul Token
Yao Qingyi looked anxious and said in frustration, “I went to rest after talking to Miss Shen for a while. Unexpectedly, Miss Shen disappeared when I woke up in less than two hours. After me, did anyone else come into contact with Miss Shen?”
“The two of us sat down and ate some jerky together. Then, I went to the forest to look for some fruits. When I returned, she was gone.” Cang Ye looked at the wild fruits placed in the leaves on the ground. “She’s always been responsible. If she wasn’t delayed by something important, she would never have left without permission.”
“The forest is filled with danger. I heard that there are many demons and ghosts hiding in the depths. Could Miss Shen have been captured by them?” At this moment, a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, who had been silent, suddenly said.
Everyone’s eyes swept over.
Xiang Yun had only said it casually, but now everyone was looking at him. He shrank his neck nervously. “Don’t listen to me. I’m just saying it casually. What I said might not be true…”
“No, 1 think what you said makes sense. But there’s no movement from Miss Shen’s soul tablet. If she was ambushed, she shouldn’t be unscathed.” As Yao Qingyi spoke, he took out a soul tablet from his pocket.
Before they set off, they specially made everyone’s soul tablets.
The soul tablet was closely related to a person’s life. If the person was injured, the color of the soul tablet would become dim. If the person died, the soul tablet would simply shatter into pieces.
However, the soul tablet with Shen Yaowei’s name on it wasn’t damaged at all. The color was still so lustrous, which showed that her life wasn’t in danger.
“Perhaps she was just taken away. There’s a Ghost General in the Ghost Shadow Forest. He’s half a ghost and half a fiend. He’s powerful and is also the overlord of the Ghost Shadow Forest. It’s rumored that he likes women. Every time he meets a beautiful woman, he will snatch her and bring her back to marry him.” As Cang Ye spoke, he could no longer sit still and stood up.
“How do you know so much?” Yao Qingyi stood up as well. He looked at Cang Ye suspiciously and asked coldly, “Cang Ye, 1 felt that you seemed to know a lot about the ghost race. Who exactly are you?”
Cang Ye turned to look at Yao Qingyi, his eyes especially cold. “Give me Shen Yaowei’s soul tablet. I’ll look for her.”
The soul tablet also had the power to guide him. As long as he was close enough to Shen Yaowei, the soul tablet could help guide him and tell him where Shen Yaowei was.
“I’ll go with you.” Yao Qingyi stood up. Before Yue Xiaoyao and the others could speak, he stopped them. “Yue Xiaoyao, the four of you stay and guard. If Master comes back, tell him that we went to look for the Ghost General.”
Yue Xiaoyao and the other three nodded in agreement and watched the two of them leave.
Yao Qingyi followed Cang Ye and went straight into the depths of the Ghost Shadow Forest.
There was a ghost mountain in the Ghost Shadow Forest. The mountain range stretched for dozens of miles and cut through the entire Ghost Shadow Forest, dividing the entire forest into the depths and the outside.
If they wanted to step into the depths of the Ghost Shadow Forest, they had to cross this high mountain.
The two of them spent eight hours walking along the uneven mountain path. With the help of their spiritual power, they finally reached the top of Ghost Mountain at the beginning of the morning light.
Cang Ye stood at the top of the mountain and looked down. His expression instantly darkened to the extreme.
Looking around, a blood-colored bridal path spread from the foot of the mountain straight to a canyon in the forest.
Ghost General Ridge was where the Ghost General was.
The bridal path seemed to be dyed in blood. At this moment, blood-red lanterns were hung on both sides of the road. It was proof that General Ghost was about to marry a new wife..
