Chapter 490 - Ghost King"s whereabouts
"Let"s go take a look!"
Hearing Tang Huan"s words, Xiao Budian immediately flew towards the big s.h.i.+p.
Before long, Tang Huan and the Flamewing Phoenix King had arrived above the guest s.h.i.+p. In the next moment, Tang Huan activated both the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the "Five Colors Spiritual Pills" to their limits, and the Perception Ability immediately rose to an unprecedented level, as he began to inspect the situation of the guest s.h.i.+p carefully.
"Hmm?"
Not long later, Tang Huan revealed a surprised look.
The reason he had such an expression was not because he had caught some strange movement during his investigation, but because he had not sensed any movement. Not only was there no movement from the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p, there was not even a trace of life.
"No one? Is that an empty s.h.i.+p? "
Flamewing Phoenix King frowned, she muttered in doubt, and after a moment, she was already standing on the deck, and Xiao Budian immediately floated down.
"This is Glory Continent"s guest s.h.i.+p!"
Tang Huan said in a deep voice, "This sea area is extremely far from the Furious Waves City. An unmanned pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p has already been capsized countless of times, it is impossible for it to drift here unharmed. Furthermore, when I saw this s.h.i.+p yesterday, there were clearly people walking on the deck."
"Could it be that all the people on this s.h.i.+p are dead now?" Flamewing Phoenix King raised his eyebrows, and then shot forward like lightning.
"Be careful!"
Tang Huan called out subconsciously. Flamewing Phoenix King"s body trembled slightly as she snorted softly. Then, she disappeared from the cabin.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" After a short moment, a low cry was suddenly heard from the cabin.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Tang Huan"s heart skipped a beat, he moved like a flash of light and shot forward.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Huan had already entered the cabin and the figure of Flamewing Phoenix King appeared in front of him: "Are you alright?"
"I"m fine, but …"
Flamewing Phoenix King"s face was a little ugly, he pointed forward, and in front of him, in the s.p.a.cious cabin, rows of chairs were arranged neatly, and on almost every chair, there was a person sitting, whether male or female, old or young, with their eyes closed, looking calm, as though they were sleeping, but there were no auras at all. There were more than a hundred people inside the cabin, but all of them had died.
Tang Huan"s expression became heavy, he was confident that he did not see things yesterday, which meant that the death of everyone on the s.h.i.+p did not exceed a day, and looking at their position and the situation inside the s.h.i.+p, it was clear that they did not have any intense battles before they died.
These people seemed to have all died silently in an extremely short period of time!
The strangest thing was that these people didn"t have any injuries.
Tang Huan"s expression suddenly changed slightly. He took a step forward and quickly arrived beside a middle-aged man. His right palm gently landed on his forehead. After a moment, Tang Huan"s boundless Mind Power whistled out, covering the entire body of the middle aged man.
"Huh?"
After only two to three breaths of time had pa.s.sed, Tang Huan could not help but exclaim in surprise. He then raised his hand, and his expression became gloomy, "This man died because of his soul being affected by the sucking!"
As for the state of his soul after being sucking, Tang Huan was extremely clear about that.
Back in Furious Waves City, he had used the "Heavenly Note Soul Controlling Technique" to absorb the souls of many powerful beasts. The condition of these people after their deaths was practically the same as those beasts. Tang Huan had only investigated the body of the middle-aged man once, before he was completely certain.
"If he is like this, the others should be no exception."
Tang Huan looked around, and between his brows was an unconcealable anger, "I wonder who is so crazy, to actually be able to absorb the souls of over a hundred people in one breath!"
In addition to his anger, Tang Huan also felt a trace of shock in the bottom of his heart.
Based on his previous investigation, that middle-aged man should be a Stage Seven Martial Master. The other people"s strengths shouldn"t be too far off either. After all, this was a pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p heading to the "Forgotten City". For weaker people, going to the "Forgotten City" was no different from suicide.
To be able to absorb the souls of over a hundred Stage Seven Martial Master s at the same time, that person must possess universally shocking strength.
"Hu!"
Tang Huan"s footsteps slightly moved, and he appeared in the corner of the boat cabin next to the green potted plant. Immediately after, Tang Huan"s right hand was placed on the potted plant, and the dense green Qi poured down from the palm of Tang Huan"s hand, in an instant, covering the entire potted tree.
"Huala!"
The small tree swayed back and forth, as if it were trembling.
Tang Huan calmed his heart and became immersed in it. After a long while, he muttered to himself: "Bone Zhang Gong … "Dark red cloak …"
What Tang Huan had just used was the "Wood Leaf Spirit Art" within the wooden magic. This was a very powerful tracking spell. In this world, even the smallest of plants and vegetation would have a very weak consciousness, and would be able to remember everything that had happened in this area for a certain period of time.
The shorter the interval, the more memories the vegetation retains, and vice versa.
Just now, Tang Huan had activated the "Wood Leaf Spirit Art" on the small tree, and only gained the small tree"s extremely weak memory judgement. But even so, Tang Huan had already known, the killer was probably wearing a dark red cloak, and he even used a bone bow.
Fortunately, Tang Huan had already rushed over. If he had arrived a day or two later, the last two memories of the potted tree would have completely vanished.
"Bone longbow... "Dark red cloak …"
Flamewing Phoenix King repeated it lightly, and after a moment, her expression changed uncontrollably as she gritted her teeth and said, ""Xuan Ming Ghost King!" It really was the "Xuan Ming Ghost King". Only she used her bone bow and dark red cloak! It is only she who needs to devour the souls of living people from time to time. "
She had already thought of this person a long time ago, but she wasn"t sure. But now, there was no longer any suspense.
"Xuan Ming Ghost King?"
Tang Huan squinted his eyes, his right palm slowly drooped down, the green aura in his palm quickly withdrew, and that small tree also regained its calm.
The name of the Xuan Ming Ghost King resounded in Tang Huan"s ears like thunder.
This person was the same as the Flamewing Phoenix King, she was also one of the eight great Demon King s. Furthermore, her strength was extremely strong, and she definitely ranked in the top three of the eight great Demon King s.
Although Tang Huan had never personally seen the "Xuan Ming Ghost King", he had nearly interacted with her once when he was outside the Origin Continent. If the "Spear Saint" Ye Chongshan had not suddenly activated her terrifying Spear Intent and scared her away, she might have already made her move against Tang Huan.
Tang Huan originally thought that only after entering the Tranquil Continent in the future would he be able to meet a "Xuan Ming Ghost King", but he didn"t expect her to appear in this region of the ocean and reveal her whereabouts.
"Why did the Xuan Ming Ghost King come here?" Suddenly, Tang Huan asked.
"Don"t you know that "Xuan Ming Ghost King" is a type of "Forgotten City" that originated from this region of the sea?" Flamewing Phoenix King could not help but snort.
"..."
