Chapter 1700

"Holy crap! There really are ghosts!"

Er Gouzi screamed, jumped directly onto Xu Que, and hugged his thigh tightly, "Protect the driver, protect the driver! This God Venerable is the only bloodline of the ancient magic dragon, a single lineage that must not have any accidents!"

Xu Que peeled Er Gouzi off with an expression of disgust, his mood also becoming heavy.

This place hadn't been opened for tens of thousands of years; even if there were intruders, they would have long since become supplies for those vines, turning into half-dead existences.

So where did these figures come from?

Could it be that they were really cultivators who died tens of thousands of years ago, whose souls hadn't dissipated and had been preserved until now?

Thinking of the cultivators here, one or two of them died miserably; wouldn't that mean they were ten-thousand-year-old fierce ghosts!

"Master Tang, you are a disciple of the Buddhist sect; you should have ways to deal with these ghosts." Qiu Zili said softly, "Why don't you take action, Master Tang..."

"Amitabha, this poor monk does not wish to commit unnecessary killing; today we will let them go and take another path." Xu Que put his hands together and turned to walk in another direction.

Damn it, this woman is truly ill-intentioned.

This is clearly full of danger, and she still wants to let this Sage of Acting Cool take risks; it's simply inhuman!

Beautiful women are the best at deceiving people; the ancients did not deceive me.

"Wait, don't you think those figures in front look a bit familiar?" Duan Jiude spoke again, his tone filled with surprise, "Hey, really, very familiar!"

Er Gouzi heard this, stared straight ahead, and screamed in shock: "It's that woman, the one in white, what's her name... oh, Fairy Nichang! It's them!"

This time it was Qiu Zili and Xu Que's turn to be uneasy.

The two of them turned their heads in unison, carefully distinguished them, and spoke in unison: "It really is them!"

Among those figures in front, the one at the very end, wearing a long white dress, was clearly Fairy Nichang!

"How could they be here?" Xu Que asked suspiciously, his gaze falling on Qiu Zili, "Didn't Donor Qiu say just now that you were being hunted and fled into this place?"

"She must be lying; this woman is definitely a monster!" Er Gouzi immediately clamored, pointing at Qiu Zili and shouting loudly, "Hurry up and take her down, then strip her and search her body, and find all the treasures!"

Qiu Zili heard this, instinctively hugged her arms tightly, and looked vigilant: "I am the real person; I don't know how they got in either!"

Before, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude had also run rampant in the territory of the Chengyuan Immortal Domain, so she didn't doubt at all that these two insane guys would do what they said.

"Er Gouzi, I didn't expect you to have such dirty and vulgar thoughts; this poor monk is very disappointed!" Xu Que said with a pained expression.

Qiu Zili had just breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Xu Que say: "Stripping half is enough."

Shameless!

She finally saw it; there wasn't a single good person in the Zha Tian Bang!

After teasing Qiu Zili, Xu Que focused his attention on the figures in front again.

Those figures had stiff limbs and walked like walking corpses; it was clear they had lost their consciousness.

From the bottom of his heart, Xu Que actually wanted to save them; after all, in this ghost place, having more people meant more strength.

But the current situation was unclear, and it was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen when he went to save them.

"I know!" Qiu Zili suddenly said urgently, "That is the Nine Nether Bewitching Heart Fog around them!"

Nine Nether Bewitching Heart Fog?

Xu Que looked at Qiu Zili suspiciously: "Donor Qiu, what is this fog?"

Qiu Zili seemed worried that if she spoke too slowly, she would really be stripped by Er Gouzi and the others, so she spoke very fast: "I have only seen relevant records of this thing in ancient books. Legend has it that this was a protective object raised by that race back then, which can confuse others' consciousness, and even Half-Step Immortal Emperors cannot escape it!"

"Raised?" Xu Que noticed this word, "Can this fog be raised?"

"Nine Nether Bewitching Heart Fog is just a name; this fog is actually a kind of living creature." Qiu Zili said in a deep voice, "They are alive; I didn't expect that after tens of thousands of years, I would still see this thing exist in reality."

Xu Que was stunned and communicated with the system: "System, is there any prop that can isolate this kind of fog?"

"Ding, the prop 'Breathing Mask' has been selected, loaded with nano-level air filter, ensuring that every breath inhaled is the purest fresh air." The system quickly gave feedback.

"Good! Exchange it!"

Xu Que didn't say a word and exchanged for the prop directly.

Qiu Zili saw Xu Que standing there in a daze and reminded him: "Don't ever get close to that fog; according to the records, countless Half-Step Immortal Emperors lost their lives in this fog tens of thousands of years ago, and now I'm afraid its power is even more terrifying... what are you doing?"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly widened her eyes and screamed.

She saw Xu Que had already stepped into the white fog, with a strange, ball-like hood on his head.

"Don't worry, this poor monk knows what he's doing." Xu Que waved his hand, his muffled voice coming from under the mask.

Qiu Zili let out a long sigh and looked at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude: "He's beyond saving; let's go. With cultivation not reaching the Immortal Emperor stage, stepping into the Nine Nether Bewitching Heart Fog is certain death."

However, Er Gouzi snorted disdainfully, put its hands on its hips, and said heroically: "You underestimate Brother Que... Master Tang Sanzang too much. Master Tang Sanzang is the most powerful existence in our Zha Tian Bang; you commoners simply don't understand how powerful he is!"

"That's right, we have millions of experts like Master Tang Sanzang in our Zha Tian Bang, and we can overturn the Immortal Cloud Continent with a wave of our hands!" Duan Jiude also agreed righteously, "You Heavenly Gates had better honestly open your treasure vaults and offer protection fees, and we might consider letting you go!"

If it were before, Qiu Zili might not have believed these words.

But after seeing Tang Sanzang's strength with her own eyes, Qiu Zili couldn't help but start to doubt whether the Zha Tian Bang's strength was really that powerful.

Of course, she certainly didn't believe there were millions of them, but there should be at least a hundred, right? Otherwise, how would they have the guts to brag about having millions of experts!

If that were really the case, without the Immortal Emperors, none of the Four Great Heavenly Gates could stop the Zha Tian Bang!

She couldn't have imagined that Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude really had the guts; clearly, they didn't have a single expert, yet they could act as if they had dozens of Immortal Emperors sitting in town.

"Believe me, he's really beyond saving; even if a Half-Step Immortal Emperor were inside, it would be impossible to escape the effects of the Nine Nether Bewitching Heart Fog..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Xu Que's voice ringing in her ears.

"Who did you say is beyond saving?"

Qiu Zili's heart jumped, and she turned her head to look; Xu Que was standing right beside her, safe and sound.

Behind him were Fairy Nichang and those dozens of people!
