Chapter 1424: Chapter 1418: Ghost Energy Fills the Sky

Fuzhou values martial prowess, and Noble Princess Consort Zhu’s brother, being a military general, has prestige both in the army and the court.

Earlier, during a palace competition, Wu Yuan was defeated by Noble Princess Consort Zhu’s brother.

As a result, Wu Yuan sank into a period of despondency.

Later, he heard that acquiring the Dragon Vein could greatly enhance one’s cultivation, so he journeyed to Longteng upon discovering its whereabouts.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to find the Dragon Vein.

Thus, upon returning to Fuzhou, Wu Yuan remains overshadowed by that damned General Zhu.

"Those two siblings, Noble Princess Consort Zhu and her brother, are certainly not good people. When we get there, we’ll have to give them a good challenge."

Xin Lin sneered coldly.

"Xin Lin, you’re a Longteng person, it’s best not to get involved in these matters. I remember that Noble Princess Consort Zhu and your country’s Empress Feng are close friends, always in contact. You don’t get along with Empress Feng, so be cautious when you get to Fuzhou."

Tu Suxuan, being meticulous, reminded.

Xin Lin merely gave a faint smile.

She thought to herself, seeing that the demand for a hostage from Fuzhou is likely related to these two siblings.

Not for any other reason; just the fact that they are close with Empress Feng makes her find them unpleasant.

At this moment, Xin Lin noticed the Xuan Bird descending steadily, and ahead appeared a sprawling city.

That is Wangjing.

It houses the national capital of Fuzhou and is one of the three largest cities on the Eastern Continent.

Merely looking down from high above, this city is dozens of times larger than Purple Cloud City.

But right as Xin Lin was inspecting, her heart skipped.

She swiftly channeled Fu Xi’s Energy to her eyes, casting her gaze forward.

No mistake!

Above this massive city, it’s shrouded in patches of black clouds resembling dark clouds!

That black energy is Ghost Energy!

Such intense Ghost Energy nearly covers half of Wangjing City.

This greatly astonished Xin Lin.

Logically, the larger the city, the more living people there are, thus less Ghost Energy should be present.

Yet the population of Wangjing City reaches millions, and there is such strong Ghost Energy shrouding it.

Comparing to the earlier Fengdong, which has numerous ghost soldiers, Wangjing City’s Ghost Energy is still thicker.

This implies that there must be many... within Wangjing City.

Could Gui Hu be within the city too?

Seeing those patches of Ghost Energy, invisible to the naked eye, Xin Lin’s eyes grew solemn.

Ghost Energy is almost ubiquitous; she doesn’t know the situation in the city.

But one thing is certain, given Ghost Energy everywhere, finding Gui Hu through it will be very difficult.

In her chest, Sealing Spirit Talisman No. 3 stirred slightly.

"There’s a trace of Fox Pill’s energy, the Corpse King is in the city!"

The little fox exclaimed excitedly, nearly rushing out of Sealing Spirit Talisman No. 3.

Upon hearing, Xin Lin was instantly delighted.

How could she have forgotten about the Fox Pill!

Pride Corpse took the Fox Pill, the Fox Pill’s scent remains, she can find Pride Corpse.

But right amidst Xin Lin’s joy, the little fox suddenly made a sound.

"What’s the matter, the Fox Pill’s scent vanished again!"

Gone!

Upon hearing, Xin Lin’s emotions became complex.

Could it be that Pride Corpse deliberately concealed it?

At her waist, that exquisite small bell, blown by the wind, issued a crisp sound.

At this moment, the Xuan Bird had already begun its descent.

Seemingly sensing the density of Ghost Energy here, the Xuan Bird was unwilling to get closer, and Xin Lin had to make it stop near the outskirts.
