Chapter 1463: Chapter 1459: Clues and Speculation Chapter 1463: Chapter 1459: Clues and Speculation “Thank you, Master Shen, let go first. Alas, I am surnad Wang, I live in Yongding Square, Iron Hat Alley. Although my life was poor, it was relatively peaceful. Two nights ago, I was fishing on the Golden Light River in the city when I encountered several black-robed n, sneaking around doing who knows what. One of them waved his hand at , and just like that, I died,” the old man said, sighing heavily.
“Black-robed n? Did they have any distinguishing features?” Shen Luo asked eagerly, surprised to discover a critical point from the first person he questioned.
“At that ti, I had no chance to see clearly before knowing nothing, I didn’t notice anything,” the old man shook his head.
A trace of regret flashed in Shen Luo’s eyes as he turned to the others.
“Immortal Master, my na is Wang Daqiu. I am a kitchen helper from Qizhen Square in Chang’an City. I was killed by a fox demon during the celebration, I didn’t see any black-robed n,” another burly man said.
“Immortal Master, my na is Li Yong…”
The other souls also reported their nas and what they had seen the previous night, but their accounts were sowhat jumbled and chaotic, offering no useful information, which made Shen Luo frown.
“Master Shen, my na is Ma Xianhe. Before the celebration, I saw a strange occurrence that was related to the demons at the celebration. It should be of use to you. However, I have a small request that I hope you could grant,” the rchant soul spoke after the others had finished.
“Oh, Your Excellency may speak freely of your wish,” Shen Luo, who had already noticed that the rchant soul knew so information, was intrigued and didn’t mind the bargaining behavior.
“Ma Mian has always admired those who cultivate immortality, but it’s a pity that I never had the chance to et an Immortal Master. After I’ve told you what I’ve seen, I would like my son to take you as his master; I ask that you fulfill this wish,” The rchant soul bowed to Shen Luo.
“I have always been accustod to being alone and have never considered taking disciples,” Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and said, shaking his head.
The rchant soul stood there, stunned.
“Although I do not take disciples, I know many monks. As long as your son has decent potential, it wouldn’t be difficult to arrange for him to enter another sect,” Shen Luo said, changing his tone.
“Thank you, Master Shen.” The rchant soul’s face, which had shown disappointnt, lit up with gratitude.
“I’ve fulfilled your condition, now can you speak?” Shen Luo said.
“Of course, of course, allow to report to you, Master Shen. Before the celebration, I saw many black-robed n as well. Near Yongding Square, in a hidden place, they were inserting many thick iron nails into the ground. And the ground where the nails were inserted… it was bleeding profusely…” the rchant soul quickly spoke, describing what he had seen in as much detail as possible.
“Thick iron nails? Blood? Where exactly is this location?” Shen Luo perked up, conjuring a map of Chang’an City with a wave of his hand.
“It’s here,” the rchant soul scrutinized the map for a mont before pointing to a location.
Shen Luo saw this and his pupils contracted slightly. That place was right where a ground fissure was located.
“This is indeed very important to . Shen Mian will keep his promise and will try his best to guide your son onto the path of immortality,” he nodded.
“Thank you, Master Shen,” said the rchant soul, bowing in thanks once again.
Shen Luo, seeing that he had asked all he could, was about to leave with these souls when a streak of escape light shot toward them from a distance—it was Soul Hook Horse Face.
He looked sowhat battered, with multiple injuries, but fortunately, none were severe.
“Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, are you alright?” Shen Luo asked.
“It’s okay. Those ghosts chased for a while, then suddenly scattered. You must have killed the leader of those ghosts, Friend Shen?” Soul Hook Horse Face addressed Shen Luo, inquiring.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo’s expression changed slightly. Those ghosts outside had likely fled because the Ghost-controlling Flute had co into his possession.
The might of the Ghost-controlling Flute was beyond his expectation. It was capable of manipulating so many ghosts from afar, and he hoped the Dragon-burying Flute, crafted by the Fire Spirit Child, would retain this power.
“Are these the souls of Chang’an people? Why are there only so few?” Soul Hook Horse Face, not waiting for Shen Luo to speak, turned to the handful of souls and asked, puzzled.
The Chang’an people were startled by the strange and intimidating appearance of the Soul Hook Horse Face, and subconsciously hid behind Shen Luo.
“Do not be afraid, everyone. This is the Underworld Yin God, Soul Hook Horse Face. Though you are not cultivators, you should have heard of his na,” Shen Luo hurriedly reassured them.
The legend of Ox Head and Horse Face is well known to the common people, and only then did the souls of the people relax slightly, though they still subconsciously maintained a certain distance from him.
“When I arrived here, there was a Witch Tribe Array, and these souls happened to be standing inside the formation, protected by it. The rest were killed by a True Immortal-level ghost,” Shen Luo inford Soul Hook Horse Face.
“A True Immortal ghost? What is that person’s na, did Brother Shen get a clear look at him?” Soul Hook Horse Face hurriedly asked.
Shen Luo nodded and, without using any hand gestures or spells, the void beside him shimred with blue light, and a figure appeared—it was the image of the Naless Wild Ghost.
“This man looks unfamiliar, I have not seen him before. What kind of God’s Power does he use?” Soul Hook Horse Face examined the figure closely and shook his head.
“This ghost can wield Ancient Witchcraft, and most of the Magical Treasures he used are Witch Weapons. He’s raised a three-headed Strange Python as a Ghost Pet and has also used a Lotus Supernatural Power,” Shen Luo said.
He felt that the Black Lotus Supernatural Power was particularly remarkable and quite different from the witchcraft used by the Naless Wild Ghost, so he took the ti to describe it in detail.
