Such a huge force can basically sweep away all the bandit strongholds in the Ghost Gate. If it is placed outside, it is enough to make the coalition army silent and dare not breathe.

However, they dare not show up in public now. They can only sneak into the sandstorm area and hide inside the sandstorm formation.

Chu Yang was not shocked by so many ghost kings gathered together. When he was chased by the enemy before, he had seen more cultivators in the God Transformation Stage than this. A mere sixty ghost kings are nothing.

After all, the underworld is a world that has been born for countless years, and it has also produced many powerful people. So this place can be said to be a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons exist. There must have been many high-level ghost cultivators. It is normal for a large force to take out hundreds of ghost kings at will.

What is slightly worth his attention is that the armies of the two forces of Banyue Mountain and Linfeng Mountain should have a commander, and the cultivation must be higher than those ghost kings, which means that both sides should have at least one ghost lord.

But after Chu Yang searched carefully for a while, he did not find the existence of a ghost lord.

This made him feel a little strange. Did the ghost masters of Banyue Mountain and Linfeng Mountain also run underground?

Or did they suppress their cultivation and hide in their own army?

Perhaps they felt that hiding their identities was safer. After all, the various methods of conspiracy used by ghost cultivators were too many and too strange. Ghost masters did not want to become the focus of everyone's attention, even when they were surrounded by allies.

If ghost masters also deliberately hid their cultivation, Chu Yang really had no way to distinguish them, and there was no need to look for them.

Chu Yang sneaked into the storm area again and began to look for Chang Zun of Bailing Pavilion.

This was a matter of luck. Chu Yang did not have any particularly efficient methods. He could only keep looking back and forth, hoping to run into Chang Zun.

Chang Zun had moved to the southern part of the storm area at this time.

His way of escaping underground was quite special. The soil at the location where he stayed would be temporarily squeezed to the surrounding area, and the soil would return to its original state after he left.

This method of escaping underground is more secretive than using magic to dig tunnels. It does not need to cast magic on the soil to leave the breath of spiritual power, nor will it leave traces of digging tunnels. Moreover, it is more durable than escaping techniques such as earth walking techniques, and does not require the consumption of spiritual power to temporarily change the nature of one's spiritual body.

Chu Yang searched back and forth in the storm zone so many times, but he never found any traces left by Chang Zun, precisely because of the special and hidden nature of this method of escaping underground.

If Chu Yang had not known about Chang Zun's existence long ago, he would not have thought that there were people underground in the storm zone, and Banyue Mountain and Linfeng Mountain would naturally not have noticed it.

Banyue Mountain and Linfeng Mountain are now also trying to explore the storm zone, but the chaotic space cracks really make them a little helpless. They feel that there is no other way to explore the interior of the storm zone except waiting for the space storm to calm down.

Even searching from the ground and high altitude is very difficult and inefficient.

The only one who insists on exploring the storm zone underground is Chang Zun.

Chang Zun's actions were forced, but after exploring underground for so long, he finally discovered a special situation.

He accidentally discovered that some stones on the ground in the storm zone would roll around, but they had never been swallowed by the space cracks.

Out of curiosity, he threw some small pieces of ore materials into the storm zone and observed them carefully.

Soon, he understood the reason.

The irregular movement of space cracks does pose a fatal threat to ghost cultivators, but it is not a big threat to some small objects, especially some small objects with very light textures.

Because the movement of space cracks will generate airflow, if a small piece of paper is thrown into the storm zone, this small piece of paper will only float between the cracks, and the movement of any crack will blow it away instead of engulfing it.

The "time bombs" that Chu Yang had placed in the storm zone before were able to exist in the storm zone for a long time because of this phenomenon.

This discovery seems to have no effect on ghost cultivators, because ghost cultivators are too big. Even if they have a way to be as light as a swallow and let themselves move with the movement of airflow, it is impossible to pass through the cracks in various spaces.

Unless some ghost cultivators with special cultivation routines can transform themselves into various strange ghosts and break away from human form.

Chang Zun naturally has no way to enter the storm area to explore in person, but he immediately thought of two ways.

One is to summon the special ghost cultivators in Bailing Pavilion, who can transform into special forms of ghost cultivators.

But this method is not very reliable, because the cultivation level of such ghost cultivators will not be too high, generally at the level of ghost soldiers and fierce ghosts, and ghost generals rarely appear.

The lowest level of ghost cultivators in Bailing Pavilion is also ghost cultivators, and there are no ghost soldiers and fierce ghosts at all. It is naturally very difficult to find such special ghost cultivators. Even Chang Zun is not sure whether there are such ghost cultivators under his command.

In addition, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Chang Zun has no time to wait for several months.

Therefore, Chang Zun can only use another method, that is, to use some reconnaissance tools.

The tools commonly used by ghost cultivators are magic weapons, but magic weapons need to be controlled by spiritual consciousness, just like flying a kite requires a kite string.

Kites may not be swallowed by space cracks, but kite strings are different.

Space cracks can also swallow spiritual consciousness. The longer the kite string is pulled, the more dangerous it is. The more space cracks it faces, the greater the chance of touching it.

So normal magic weapons cannot be used in the storm zone - unless Chu Yang's manas is used. There seems to be a repulsion between manas and space cracks. Space cracks will not devour manas, but they will not allow manas to penetrate.

Chang Zun does not have manas, nor can he use conventional reconnaissance magic weapons. What he needs is a tool with independent reconnaissance capabilities, first record the intelligence detected, and then send it back to himself.

Unfortunately, the underworld does not have things like artificial intelligence drones, and ordinary magic weapons cannot have their own independent consciousness. For example, things like the shadow stone cannot complete independent reconnaissance and then walk back by themselves without the command of the ghost cultivator.

"It seems that I still need your help."

Chang Zun sighed slightly, and then used magic to dig a deep pit on the ground.

Then, he quickly arranged a set of formations in the deep pit.

Reciting the spell lightly, the formation lighted up slightly.

Then Chang Zun gently tapped the deep pit again, and spiritual power suddenly surged in the formation. A ball of black light slowly lit up from the formation, then gradually grew larger and slowly grew into a black hole.
