Chapter 1259

The Profound Lu Ghost King thought it had led them into a death trap, and this thought wasn't wrong, except that the death trap was specially set for it. In this way, no matter how many death mechanisms, small ghosts, and corpse puppets were arranged in the real Busha Flower Court, they couldn't calculate He Lingchuan and the other two. Because the place they walked into was just a mirror space.

At this time, the mirror was also screaming: "Cracked, I'm cracked again!"

He Lingchuan picked it up and examined it carefully, and sure enough, he saw a crack point inside the mirror surface.

The Ghost King self-detonated in its space, and the power was not bad, so the Soul-Absorbing Mirror naturally suffered some shock. It didn't crack directly like before because its cultivation had improved and its body was more solid.

Fortunately, it had self-healing ability and could recover after raising it for a period of time. He Lingchuan took out a Hundred Good Pills, crushed them into powder, and applied them to the mirror.

The medicinal powder disappeared at once.

Fu Liushan clicked his tongue in wonder from the side: "A magic treasure that eats spiritual pills? This is truly a good treasure."

"Hey, is that ghost thing really gone?" Counting it up, the Ghost King had faked its death in front of them twice! Dong Rui scratched his head. "Could it be that what we killed was another clone, and the real Ghost King's main body is still hiding in some corner?"

"I've seen this clone ability of the Profound Lu Ghost King for the first time." Ordinary ghosts can split into two or three clones, which is already remarkable; the Profound Lu Ghost King's ability broke Fu Liushan's cognition. "Your statement cannot be ruled out."

The ghost-driving experience left by the Fu family ancestors didn't say what to do in this situation. "But the appearance of this special ability is either related to its encounter before death or related to some kind of magic treasure or spiritual object it encountered after death. So—"

He Lingchuan suddenly pointed to the Busha Flower Court: "Why not find its confidant and ask."

Ghost souls were emerging from this corridor, two or three at a time.

They were no longer ferocious, nor did they come forward to attack; two of them even bowed to He Lingchuan and the others, speaking human language:

"Thank you, great power, for eliminating the Ghost King and saving us from the sea of suffering!"

Fu Liushan asked and found out that the soul energy taken from them had returned, and the ghosts in the underground palace were no longer restricted by soul lamps.

But given the Profound Lu Ghost King's disguise performance in Cotton Village, this point alone was not enough to prove that it had already dissipated.

He Lingchuan immediately said: "Xuan Lu is good at cloning; how to confirm it has been eliminated? Otherwise, when we leave, you will still not be free!"

Several ghosts were about to float out of the cave, but when they heard this, they had to float back.

Fu Liushan asked them: "We need you to lead the way; where does the Profound Lu Ghost King usually rest?"

One of the old ghosts floated over: "Please follow me."

It led the crowd down the steps, returned to the underground palace, then turned left and right, not knowing how many detours it took, before stopping in front of a stone room:

"This is the residence of the Profound Lu Ghost King."

The three walked in and saw the stone room was small but clean, with beds, tables, and chairs, no different from an ordinary person's residence. But the materials of the seats and beds were all purple sandalwood, showing that the Profound Lu Ghost King's quality requirements were not low.

On the same purple sandalwood offering table, there was a set of armor.

This armor was scarred, but each armor plate was wiped very brightly, and there were several traces of careful repair.

"Looking at the style, it has some years on it."

Fu Liushan pondered: "Is this probably the armor it wore when it was alive?"

"Very likely." He Lingchuan drew his Floating Life blade and picked up the armor plate on the chest position with the blade edge. "Look, there are black stains. This is solidified blood; unless you take all the armor plates off, you can't wipe it off."

The bloodstains flowed down from above, indicating that the owner of the armor had been seriously injured and splashed with blood.

There was also a woodblock painting on the wall.

The content of the woodblock painting was a general leading an army to expedition, with a prosperous and majestic city in the background.

Looking closely at the general's face, it was somewhat similar to the Profound Lu Ghost King.

Dong Rui muttered: "This Ghost King is really stinky; not only does it paint itself, but it also makes offerings to itself!"

The crowd turned around in the room, checked carefully, and found no secret doors or secret passages, nor any traces of magic or ghost remnants.

Fu Liushan suggested: "To be safe, let's burn everything in the room."

Others naturally wouldn't object, so the utensils in this room, whether beds, chairs, or armor paintings, were gathered together and burned.

Ghosts are naturally afraid of fire, but when Fu Liushan burned the Ghost King's residence, more than a dozen ghosts still came to watch.

"Burned well, burned well!" They shrank in the corner, their eyes flashing with happy light.

Some ghosts even gritted their teeth.

He Lingchuan and others guarded the door to prevent accidents. But until the fire subsided, there was no abnormality inside.

No ghost shadows rushed out, and no mechanisms or arrays were triggered.

The things belonging to the Ghost King's residence were silently burned clean.

"Just like this?" The three looked at each other. "All done?"

Was the Ghost King eliminated or not? At least, they didn't find the special magic treasure Fu Liushan assumed.

Fu Liushan looked at the flames and pondered for a long time, asking the watching ghosts:

"In the underground palace, is there a secret room the Ghost King often goes to?"

The ghosts looked at each other, all with blank faces.

"We don't know." The old ghost who led the way said. "If it were a secret room, the Ghost King wouldn't let us know."

Other ghosts nodded one after another: "Yes, yes, it never trusted us!"

Most of the ghosts here were transformed after being killed by Xuan Lu, and they already harbored resentment toward it. How could Xuan Lu trust them with its secrets? "Then, is there any situation where it often goes alone and doesn't allow any ghosts to follow?"

The ghosts gathered together to discuss and finally pushed out a little ghost with the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old: "It served Xuan Lu the longest, ask it!"

This little ghost said timidly: "Yes, but it's not a secret room. The Profound Lu Ghost King occasionally goes to the mossy land by the water to meditate; at that time, it will drive away all ghosts and not allow us to approach."

The three looked at each other: "How long does it usually last?"

"Not necessarily, sometimes two or three hours, sometimes just one or two moments." The little ghost added, "Three years ago, an unlucky ghost accidentally violated the order and walked over, and as a result, it was grabbed by the Ghost King and swallowed in one bite!"

It sounds like there's a play: "Lead the way."

The road wasn't long; the little ghost led the three to walk for two moments, climbing high and walking low, and soon heard the sound of babbling water.

This was the underground dark river the three had encountered before, just in its downstream position.

An open space on the riverbank, about thirty square meters, was actually covered with glowing moss.

That light was fluorescent blue and translucent, outlining the shape of the hard rocks on the shore.

Fu Liushan and Dong Rui walked back and forth in this open space, but didn't find any traces of supernatural power.

Even the Soul-Absorbing Mirror didn't perceive any abnormality.

"What's so special about this place that's worth the Ghost King coming over?" Dong Rui picked up a small piece of glowing moss; this thing could grow just by relying on water, which was quite good-looking. "Does it really need to meditate here?"

"An excuse." He Lingchuan was also walking back and forth, but his expression was much more determined than the other two, because—

The Divine Bone Necklace finally heated up.

There must be a good treasure nearby.
