"We'll think of another way tomorrow."
Chu Lingwei couldn't sense any trace of her master or second senior brother.
Unfamiliar with the current situation, she had to learn more. If there was still no news from her master and other sects, she had to find a way to infiltrate the Myriad Buddha Sect.
If she used her spatial abilities, Chu Lingwei could manage to enter the Myriad Buddha Sect.
"Weiwei, shouldn't we send a message to our senior brother?" Feng Ming pressed, feeling that Ji Mao had a point. Their senior brother would surely have a way to help them enter the Myriad Buddha Sect.
"No need." Chu Lingwei refused decisively. She would not ask for her senior brother's help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Feng Ming's eyes dimmed. If Weiwei didn't want to seek help from their senior brother, then so be it.
The group found a place far from the Myriad Buddha Sect to temporarily set up camp.
Chu Lingwei gazed in the direction of the Myriad Buddha Sect, her expression grave. What had happened here to prevent any cultivators from other sects from appearing?
"Master, perhaps I should enter the Myriad Buddha Sect to investigate?" Shui Yi stepped forward, sensing Chu Lingwei's solemn mood.
As a supreme realm mighty being, she was capable of entering the Myriad Buddha Sect.
"You can go in, but can you guarantee you'll come out safely?" Chu Lingwei countered. Her master was also a supreme realm cultivator, yet he had left no trace.
If the Ghost Realm intended to control the Myriad Buddha Sect, there must be experts aplenty within. Not all supreme realm cultivators could return safely.
Shui Yi was momentarily silenced. She truly could not guarantee her own safe return.
"Help me look for where the cultivators from other sects are stationed."
Chu Lingwei needed to understand the current situation of the Myriad Buddha Sect. The best way was to find a sect cultivator who was knowledgeable about the situation here.
"Yes." Shui Yi vanished from Chu Lingwei's sight immediately.
"Weiwei, I can't find Master," Huan Mao hurried to Chu Lingwei, feeling very guilty.
"It's alright. Master is a supreme realm mighty being; it's not easy for you to find him." Chu Lingwei shook her head. Even without the Ghost Realm's formations, it would be difficult for them to find their master.
Huan Mao lowered his head. Hearing Weiwei's comforting words made him feel even worse. Weiwei didn't blame him, which made him feel even more distressed.
He thought he had become very powerful, yet there were still things he couldn't accomplish.
"Huan Mao, we must not be discovered by anyone here," Chu Lingwei cautioned him. If their location were to be discovered, they would be in a very passive position.
"Don't worry, Weiwei. I will definitely not let anyone discover this place," Huan Mao promised earnestly.
"We'll discuss it tomorrow."
Chu Lingwei sat down and began to regulate her breathing. She needed to adjust her physical state to its optimal condition to deal with what was to come.
An hour later, a familiar aura appeared within Chu Lingwei's divine sense.
Huan Mao was the first to notice and immediately rushed towards the aura.
Chu Lingwei sighed. He had still caught up.
"Chu Lingwei, this place is extremely dangerous. You shouldn't have come," the black-clothed man stared in the direction of the Myriad Buddha Sect, his gaze deep.
"My master and senior brothers are all here. How could I stand by and do nothing?"
Chu Lingwei stared at the black-clothed man before her. "On the contrary, I think you are the one who shouldn't be here."
A person who wanted to help their own kin should not place themselves in such a predicament.
The black-clothed man's eyes flickered upon hearing Chu Lingwei's words. How much did Chu Lingwei know?
"I hope you can return alive."
"I will definitely come out alive," Chu Lingwei's voice was extremely confident. If everyone else was in trouble, she wouldn't be unharmed either.
Hearing Chu Lingwei's reply, the black-clothed man burst into laughter. His figure became like a ghost. "Your master and the others are now in the Myriad Buddha Sect. They are trapped in the Buddhist Light Pagoda."
After saying this, the black-clothed man's figure receded into the distance.
Chu Lingwei's heart sank to the bottom. Her worst fears had come true.
"Weiwei, is what he said true?" Huan Mao leaped onto Chu Lingwei's shoulder after the black-clothed man left.
How could Master, who was so powerful, be trapped?
"I believe him."
Master and the others being trapped wasn't necessarily due to insufficient cultivation, but rather that they had fallen into a trap and were temporarily unable to break through the curse.
Ghost arts and spiritual arts were not the same.
"What do we do now?" Feng Ming immediately became anxious.
"We'll find a way to enter the Myriad Buddha Sect tomorrow." Chu Lingwei had made up her mind. She had to go into the Myriad Buddha Sect and see for herself.
Soon, Shui Yi returned. The news she brought was that she hadn't encountered a single cultivator from any sect.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Within a hundred-mile radius, there are absolutely no sect cultivators," Shui Yi stated with certainty. "Only ghost cultivators."
Chu Lingwei's brow furrowed. The absence of any sect cultivators was extremely strange.
The various major sects had all sent people to the Myriad Buddha Sect. It was impossible for all of them to have entered the Myriad Buddha Sect simultaneously. So, where had the remaining people gone?
Had they been killed, or had they left on their own?
"Don't you find it strange that there are no sect cultivators here?" Chu Lingwei looked at Shui Yi. "Did you find any signs of a struggle?"
"None." If there had been signs of a struggle, she would have noticed. "They must have already been cleared out."
Therefore, there was a strong possibility that the Myriad Buddha Sect itself was a trap.
Chu Lingwei's heart leaped at this thought.
Only under this circumstance, if the Myriad Buddha Sect was a trap, could everyone who entered be lured into it.
"Weiwei, should we send a transmission talisman to Master?"
"No, at this time, it's best we do nothing," Chu Lingwei shook her head. The more critical the situation, the more cautious they had to be.
If Master and the others were truly controlled, they would have found a way to send them a message. Since they had received nothing, it meant they were unable to contact the outside world.
The next day.
Chu Lingwei personally witnessed a female disciple from the [unspecified] Sect being led to an inn by a cultivator in disguise. Subsequently, the [unspecified] Sect disciple was knocked unconscious and taken into the Myriad Buddha Sect.
"They are truly detestable!" Feng Ming watched the disguised cultivators, almost spitting fire with anger. These ghost cultivators were truly abominable. 筷書閣
Chu Lingwei's eyes flashed. This was a good method to enter the Myriad Buddha Sect.
"All of you enter the ring space. We will first enter the Myriad Buddha Sect."
Chu Lingwei collected Shui Yi and Huan Mao into her ring space. When the next cultivator entering the domain of the Myriad Buddha Sect was controlled by the ghost cultivators, she concealed her spatial ring on the cultivator and entered the space herself.
Chu Lingwei kept a close watch on their movements. She watched as the ghost cultivators transported the unconscious cultivator into the market of the Myriad Buddha Sect.
