The elders in the reception room, who had been chatting while waiting for the final results, suddenly saw one of them change expression.
"The exit to the small ghost realm has moved!"
As soon as this was said, everyone's expression changed.
"What's going on? How could the exit to the small ghost realm move?"
"Old Ghost Xin, aren't you in charge of the small ghost realm's exit? How could it suddenly change?"
The one called Old Ghost Xin was the one who first spoke of the exit moving. His expression was grave, and he kept manipulating his fingers, trying to figure out what had happened.
But the heavenly secrets were in chaos, and he couldn't deduce anything.
"I can't figure it out."
After hearing his words, everyone began to deduce, but none of them could figure anything out.
Everyone realized something was wrong. They quickly contacted the people guarding the Shan He Mirror to see if they had discovered any problems.
Some people were also contacting other skilled diviners, asking them to participate in the divination.
However, the responses were not good. No one could deduce the location of the small ghost realm's exit. As for the fortune and misfortune of the people inside, it was even more impossible to determine.
For a time, everyone in the Xuanmen was extremely worried. After all, those who entered the small ghost realm were the most outstanding young generation within the Xuanmen, and they were also the future hope of the Xuanmen world.
If all of them were lost this time, the Xuanmen world might regress by decades.
Lin Yan and the others, who were the focus of everyone's concern, had also gathered together. They had also discovered that they could not leave the small ghost realm at will, so they began to look for companions to understand the current situation.
Lin Yan knew about this. The birth of the Ghost King had disturbed the Yin energy at the exit, and the talisman array on his side had caused many wronged spirits in the small ghost realm to be connected to that area, which led to the anomaly in the small ghost realm's exit.
This time, the exit to the small ghost realm landed on the mountain chosen by the Ghost King, which was why the original protagonist and his companions encountered the Ghost King, who had just been born and was preparing to attack the mortal cities.
Such a group of "top-grade materials" delivered to his doorstep made the Ghost King overjoyed, and the two sides thus engaged in a fight.
The Xuanmen side wanted to stop the Ghost King from attacking ordinary people, while the Ghost King's side wanted their souls to serve as the main souls of the Hundred Ghost Banner.
Lin Yan kept the core of the ghost realm she obtained from the small ghost realm in her palm and, along with everyone else, thought of ways to get out of the small ghost realm.
The ranking was no longer important; what mattered was how to get out.
Lin Yan did not want to involve these people, but the Ghost King had many subordinates, and she needed someone to help her deal with those ghost servants. Regardless, escaping was the priority.
In that city, she had already set up defensive arrays beforehand. Even if they couldn't resist the Ghost King, they could hold him off for a while.
After they escaped, she would explain the situation clearly to these people, so they wouldn't foolishly confront the Ghost King.
If anyone was unwilling to jointly resist the Ghost King, she would ensure their safe escape.
With the ghost realm core in hand, she no longer needed to sacrifice herself.
Lin Yan distributed some talismans from her spatial storage to her companions. Others also shared some of their life-saving means with each other.
At this moment, this group of people, who were supposed to be rivals, were incredibly united. Although they didn't know what lay ahead or what they would face,
They encouraged each other and assisted each other, striving not to let anyone get hurt.
Changsun Changlin retracted the ghosts he had summoned with his magic artifact. They were still too weak.
Once his blood sacrifice array was completed, the souls and flesh of those people would become the strength of his subordinates, truly making them a mighty army that could conquer for him.
Changsun Changlin took a casual step, and the next moment he appeared in the mountains outside the mausoleum. With another step, he appeared on the highway outside the mountains.
Step by step, he got closer to the city he had chosen. The dense Yin energy, like dark clouds, moved towards the city with his steps.
"Is it going to rain? But the weather forecast said it would be sunny today?" a resident said with confusion, looking at the dark sky. "Never mind, I should quickly collect my clothes."
He quickly brought in the clothes that were drying outside.
The residents of this city, seeing the ink-like dark clouds, came out to collect their drying belongings and then closed their windows tightly to prevent rain from entering.
They had no premonition of what they might face next, and continued their lives as usual, washing vegetables, cooking, and calling their relatives who were away, urging them to return quickly so as not to get caught in the rain.
For those who couldn't return due to work, they inquired if they had umbrellas or if they needed to be picked up.
Only a few people with stronger intuition felt an immense pressure, but they attributed it to bad weather and low barometric pressure.
This city also had a Special Incident Handling Bureau. They noticed the dense Yin energy and sent people to investigate the situation, simultaneously reporting it to higher authorities. However, the specific circumstances had not yet been ascertained, so it did not attract everyone's attention.
The report from Xuancheng did not receive much attention from the higher authorities. Currently, the focus of the Xuanmen world was on the young people trapped in the small ghost realm.
They were only asked to investigate the cause and report again before being left alone.
In the blink of an eye, Changsun Changlin arrived above Xuancheng. Looking at the dense human aura in the city and the bustling traffic on the roads, he felt incredibly excited.
Although he didn't know what those vehicles on the wide roads were, he saw people getting out and others getting in, and then the iron box would start running.
It seemed that was the means of transportation used by people nowadays. He didn't know what powered it, but he only needed to know how to use it.
Those people also held smaller iron boxes in their hands, which puzzled him, but he didn't want to bother with such trivial matters.
Eggs are delicious, but you don't need to know the hen that laid them!
The people moving and walking inside were his targets.
His subordinates had been starving for too long. They desperately needed to consume some blood to replenish themselves.
Those soldier souls also needed blood Fiend Qi and resentment to nourish them.
