Mortal Seeking Immortal

Half an hour later, the aura of the substitute paper man dissipated, turning into a few clumps of paper ash, and drifting away with the wind.

The black-robed monks who were tracking Ye Zhou and the others in three directions lost their target, stopped at the same time, and began to contact their companions.

The leader of the black-robed monks was holding a communication token with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "The auras in three directions disappeared at the same time, how is this possible?"

The monk following behind him said: "Maybe they just used the substitute paper man to confuse us and lure us to chase in the direction of Xianliu City. In fact, they did not rush to Xianliu City."

The leader pondered for a moment and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"But the elder said that she would definitely rush to Xianliu City, so leave four people to continue searching in the direction of Xianliu City, and send two people to search the surrounding area. Even if we dig We must find their traces even if we have to go three feet deep, otherwise we can't report to the Great Elder!"

The voices of the other four people came from the communication token: "Yes!"

The leader continued: "There are three routes leading to Xianliu City. Among them, the route through the Ghost Desert in the west is the most dangerous. With her current cultivation, choosing this route is tantamount to suicide. Those who are searching for this route can withdraw."

After the leader finished his explanation, he put away the communication token, his figure turned into a black light, and flew away with the person behind him, continuing to search for the traces of the ghost-faced woman and Ye Zhou.

The black-clothed monk who was searching for the traces of Ye Zhou and the other person in the west stopped searching and turned away as ordered.

A few hundred feet in front of the two black-clothed monks, there were two figures hiding in the bushes on a low mountain. These two people were Ye Zhou and the ghost-faced woman who had fled all the way here.

The ghost-faced woman watched the two black-robed monks turn and leave, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. If they searched further, they would definitely find them.

Ye Zhou, who was standing next to her, looked calm, as if he had already expected them to leave.

Ye Zhou said to the ghost-faced woman: "Let's go. I think they should return to the previous place to search. If they can't find our whereabouts in other places, they will definitely turn back and continue to search."

After Ye Zhou finished speaking, his figure turned into a spiritual light and shot away into the distance.

The ghost-faced woman nodded, followed Ye Zhou on the sword, and flew towards the direction of Xianliu City.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. During these two days, Ye Zhou and the ghost-faced woman traveled day and night, not daring to stop halfway. They had walked most of the way and were less than a day away from Xianliu City.

On this day, Ye Zhou and his companions stopped and looked into the distance with a serious look. In front of them, only a dozen feet away, there was an endless expanse of yellow sand. This expanse of yellow sand was the Ghost Desert that frightened most of the cultivators on the Konghai Continent.

Ye Zhou secretly woke up Xiao Yuan, who was sleeping in his sleeve. Xiao Yuan released a weak breath, which alone was enough to make most of the spirit insects in the Ghost Desert dare not easily attack them.

The ghost-faced woman, who had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Jindan, naturally noticed this unusual breath, but she did not say much.

The strength shown by Ye Zhou along the way made the ghost-faced woman conclude in her heart that Ye Zhou was not an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan, so even if she sensed that there were rare spirit insects on Ye Zhou, the ghost-faced woman was not surprised.

After waking up Xiao Yuan, Ye Zhou said to the ghost-faced woman: "Let's go."

After that, Ye Zhou took the lead in entering the Ghost Desert.

As soon as they stepped into the Ghost Desert, a cold breath hit them in the face. The wind in the Ghost Desert was biting, and there was a thin layer of snow on the surface of the slightly higher desert in the distance.

Unlike other places on the Konghai Continent, which have four distinct seasons, the Ghost Desert has only two seasons, summer and winter. Most of the spirit insects living in the Ghost Desert are only active in summer. Once winter comes, most of the spirit insects will begin to hibernate.

Ye Zhou and his companions were very lucky. They happened to catch up with the winter in the Ghost Desert. Most of the spirit insects hibernate in the depths of the desert. As long as they don't make too much noise, they will generally not disturb these dormant spirit insects.

Perhaps because of Xiaoyuan's breath, Ye Zhou and his companions entered the Ghost Desert for half a day without encountering a spirit insect.

However, Ye Zhou did not relax, but kept releasing his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment.

Just as Ye Zhou and his companions passed a low-lying area in the desert, they stopped at the same time. Ye Zhou looked forward with a serious face. Where his eyes reached was another low-lying area in the desert.

Ye Zhou had just released his spiritual sense to explore this place. There was no depression here. This depression should have just been formed.

The ghost-faced woman's eyes also fell on this depression.

Just as the two of them stared at this depression, the depression was slowly sinking. At the same time, the desert in front of the depression was slowly flowing towards the direction where Ye Zhou and the others were. It seemed that something was swimming under the yellow sand.

Because the yellow sand deep underground in the Ghost Desert could shield the spiritual sense of the cultivators, Ye Zhou and the others did not find out what was lurking underground at the moment.

Ye Zhou's mind moved, summoned five flying swords to protect him, and started to operate the Demon God Body Forging Technique. The ghost-faced woman beside him also took out her ghost-head black whip, while inputting a large amount of spiritual power into the ghost-head black whip, while watching the flowing yellow sand vigilantly.

Xiao Yuan, hidden in Ye Zhou's sleeve, obeyed Ye Zhou's instructions and released a more powerful breath.

Even so, it did not stop the thing under the yellow sand from continuing to approach Ye Zhou and the others.

In order to prevent awakening the dormant spirit insects underground, the ghost-faced woman did not want to fight with this thing and signaled Ye Zhou to take a detour.

Ye Zhou shook his head and said, "It's probably too late to take a detour now."

After saying that, Ye Zhou looked around and saw that the yellow sand within a few feet around them began to flow.

The ghost-faced woman saw this and showed a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that the thing underground was so huge and moved so quickly that it trapped them in the middle silently.

The ghost-faced woman said to Ye Zhou, "Quick battle and quick decision!"

The ghost-faced woman swung the ghost-headed black whip in her hand, and a thick ghost fog was released from the ghost-headed black whip. A huge ghost head emerged from the ghost fog, and two dazzling green ghost fires jumped in the ghost head's empty eye sockets.

The ghost-faced woman's mind moved, and the huge ghost head roared and rushed towards the flowing yellow sand around.

When it rushed to the front of the yellow sand, the ghost head opened its mouth and spewed out several black cold air to the yellow sand below. The surrounding air temperature suddenly dropped a little because of these cold air.

These groups of cold and gloomy air penetrated the yellow sand and went straight into the ground. Wherever they passed, the yellow sand was frozen into a huge piece of black ice.
