Chapter 133: Exposure and Turning Point

133. Chapter 133: Exposure and Turning Point

"Ghost Commander, your subordinate is incompetent; the person has escaped."

Several Yin Souls appeared before Luo Yao and the other, then that group of Yin Souls knelt on the ground with a thud.

Hearing that the person had escaped, Luo Yao frowned; had that treacherous merchant deliberately scammed her, making her attract the Fierce Ghost's attention so he could escape?

Wanting to know this, Luo Yao felt even less guilt about having scammed the treacherous merchant.

If the treacherous merchant had not spoken at that moment, the Fierce Ghost would not have targeted her, but would have continued pursuing the treacherous merchant; in that case, the person captured would have been the treacherous merchant.

"Continue the pursuit!"

The Fierce Ghost known as Ghost Commander looked very displeased, yet did not fly into a rage; instead, he turned and left, saying, "Bring her back to the base."

Just as she hesitated on what to do, a Yin Soul hurriedly ran in from outside.

Thinking this over, Luo Yao stopped brooding.

After the Fierce Ghost took the Communication Jade Pendant, he examined it, confirmed there were no issues, then looked at Luo Yao again.

That Fierce Ghost Commander was also as if facing a great enemy; cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and in the end, he too knelt on the ground with a thud.

That Ghost General spoke straight to the point.

"Is that so?" That Fierce Ghost Commander squinted at Luo Yao, "Then hand over the Communication Jade Pendant of that treacherous merchant you mentioned."

That subordinate quickly reacted, rushing toward Luo Yao.

However, this Communication Jade Pendant requires Spirit Power to activate; they are all Ghost Cultivators and cannot cultivate Spirit Power, so even if given to them, they could not use it.

"Prepare tonight's meal for her; after that, she will be one of you."

"Commander, let me interrogate her."

However, at this moment, a voice sounded beside all the ghosts.

Afterwards, Ghost Commander gathered all his subordinates, "Find a way to spread the news: his accomplice is in our hands; if he wants to save his accomplice, bring a person to exchange."

In that case, she could only choose the big tree of the Netherworld Mansion.

Luo Yao's expression changed; she considered whether to expose her Space Magic Treasure and hide directly inside it.

"Whether he comes or not does not matter; the person captured is the most important."

Saying they would unseal the Array actually meant letting subordinates kill Luo Yao while unsealing it.

Luo Yao's heart gave a sudden thump; exactly what she feared had come to pass.

The Fierce Ghost Commander's aura pressed down on Luo Yao. "If you dare destroy the Communication Jade Pendant, I will make your life worse than death. You must know that here, even if you die, your divine soul will not reincarnate; I can still torture your divine soul thoroughly."

If this Communication Jade Pendant fell into his hands, and he used it to contact the treacherous merchant, then everything she had just said would be exposed.

In the end, he still did not speak.

"Commander, bad news; the Ghost General has arrived."

The Commander's eyelid twitched; he immediately bowed respectfully, and the other Yin Souls did the same.

He had few capable subordinates, so Luo Yao, a cultivator with excellent talent, naturally caught his eye.

One Yin Soul eagerly stepped forward. "I am best at interrogating human cultivators; as long as I act, basically no one dares remain silent."

Moreover, given the strength of the Fierce Ghost before her, she feared that as soon as she produced it, it would be snatched away.

"Commander, what if that person does not come to rescue?"

The Commander's expression immediately changed; he put away the Communication Jade Pendant, turned to leave, and said to the Yin Soul beside him, "Seal this room; do not let her out."

Upon hearing this, the Commander's expression immediately grew somewhat unpleasant; he lowered his head but did not answer immediately, cursing inwardly which bastard had leaked the news.

"Lord Li!"

That's not right; I still have a Teleportation Scroll!

Hearing the Ghost General's words, the Fierce Ghost Commander instantly felt a chill run through his entire body.

The Ghost General snorted, released his aura, and pressed it down on the Fierce Ghost Commander; the surrounding Yin Souls immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

The subordinates naturally understood the Commander's meaning: tonight's meal would definitely be seasoned, providing the ingredients to transform Luo Yao from a human cultivator into a Ghost Cultivator.

After following them back to the Netherworld Mansion's base in Duanzui Cheng, the Commander ordered Luo Yao to stay in the room and threatened that if she dared leave, he would kill her.

Under no circumstances could Li Feiyin find the Princess; otherwise, everything they had done would be in vain.

"What?"

The Ghost General turned and left with a grim expression.

"Do not force me to act."

"Hmph!" The Commander snorted. "Put away your scheming; this person is of great use to me. If a single hair is missing, you will see what happens."

However, he naturally did not want to take a human cultivator as a subordinate, so he would slowly turn Luo Yao into a Ghost Cultivator.

To survive in this Ancient Battlefield, she must ally with a faction.

Ghost Commander naturally knew this subordinate was bloodthirsty and cruel; basically, no cultivator interrogated by him ever survived.

Just then, the door pushed open, and the Commander walked in.

Once she became a Ghost Cultivator, she would face reality.

"You must think clearly; this Netherworld Mansion belongs to the Princess, not to You Hao."

Luo Yao could only smile bitterly. "Senior, I have already said everything I know."

"I can give you one more chance; as long as you reveal the information you know, I can let you serve as my subordinate while remaining a cultivator."

After thinking, the Commander spoke directly. "Someone spread false news; we are investigating the mastermind behind it."

Luo Yao did not struggle; she followed willingly. After all, there was no life-threatening danger, so she was not worried; instead, she saw an opportunity to infiltrate the enemy ranks.

He knew that by doing this, he would surely offend the Ghost General, and would die terribly later; but since becoming the Commander's subordinate, he had prepared for sacrifice.

Upon hearing these words, Luo Yao's expression became very unpleasant; especially with the Fierce Ghost Commander's aura pressing on her, making her breathing somewhat difficult.

However, Luo Yao quickly realized that her teleportation scroll had not been marked with a location yet, so it could not be used.

Commander Gu sneered; he did not fully believe Luo Yao's words and instead felt in his heart that Luo Yao must know something.

But Luo Yao knew clearly that even if she did not hand it over, he would still snatch the Storage Bag and search it himself, leaving her with nothing inside it by then.

"I heard you have news of the Princess?"

That Fierce Ghost's face instantly changed; he quickly signaled a Yin Soul nearest to Luo Yao and roared, "What are you still staring at? Go undo the Array immediately!"

Crack!

By then, Commander Gu would not only gain a promising subordinate but also obtain the information he wanted from Luo Yao's mouth.

All the Ghost Cultivators turned to look, seeing Luo Yao standing at the door inside the room shouting, while an Array was set up at the doorway; Luo Yao could not get out, but her voice could still be heard.

She remembered that after parting with Lan Jie earlier, she had encountered this Ghost General, but back then she had run fast; she never expected to meet him in this manner.

"Choosing the wrong side costs lives."

"Infuse Spirit Power and contact that treacherous merchant you mentioned."

Soon, the Commander hurriedly left, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw a Ghost Cultivator clad in black armor approaching, emitting thick Yin Qi; he was even at the Ghost General level.

"I know where the Princess is?"

In the room where the door had not yet been closed, Luo Yao also saw that Ghost General; her brows immediately furrowed, for that aura felt somewhat familiar.

Indeed, to avoid exposure, she dared not even take out the Communication Jade Pendant of the treacherous merchant.

After entering the room, Luo Yao found a spot to sit; she knew clearly that Yin Souls were surely watching her from the surroundings, so she could not show any signs of abnormality.

"Hmph!"

"Do you dare?"

That Ghost General was no fool; he immediately saw that the Yin Soul rushing forward was filled with killing intent.

He instantly flew into a rage but was too late to stop it.
