Chapter 280 Entering the Spirit World

Xia Rou took back Gengar and Dragon Ball, and pulled Ren Yan towards the largest house in the Taoist temple.

Entering the house, an old and stale smell hits you.

But if you look closely, you'll find that the place is spotlessly clean.

It's just that the decorations and furniture are so old that I don't know how many years they are.

When Ren Yan saw the porcelain on the table, he wanted to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by Xia Rou.

"Don't move anything. Every item here is a national first-class cultural relic..." Xia Rou urged.

Ren Yan nodded angrily. Fine, then he wouldn't touch her. He didn't want to go to jail again.

Ren Yan looked up at the statue above.

A very standard Ho-Oh statue.

The colors were a little damaged, but it still couldn't hide the...strange appearance of the Ho-Oh.

"Camera..." Ren Yan murmured.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Rou turned around and asked when she heard Ren Yan's voice.

"Flashing Mega Toucan..."

Xia Rou widened her eyes and immediately covered Ren Yan's mouth.

Why do you have to joke here when you can do it anywhere else? Are you thinking you are not dying fast enough?

Just when Ren Yan was puzzled, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body.

Ren Yan seemed to sense something and quickly turned around to look.

Machado slowly emerged from his own shadow, raised his head and stared at Ren Yan.

Machado had been hiding in the shadows, and Ren Yan could not sense Machado's location at all.

"Hmm! (Actually! It does look like a Shiny Toucan!)" Machado commented, and then walked to the statue of Ho-Oh.

Ren Yan's mouth twitched. So you are making a sarcastic remark about your boss here, right?

"Hmm! (Hurry up! I'll open the door to the spirit world for you, you'll find the temple inside, and you'll be able to see the Phoenix King when you go out of the temple. I still have to continue guiding the Rainbow Hero on his mission, so I'm very busy!)" Machado said with a yawn, looking a little impatient.

"Hmm? We can find Ho-Oh in the spirit world. Why don't we open the door to the spirit world ourselves? Isn't it said that more powerful ghost-type Pokémon can open the door to the spirit world?" Ren Yan looked at Xia Rou and couldn't help asking.

Xia Rou shook her head. "It is true that powerful ghost-type Pokémon can open the gate to the spirit world, but each place in the spirit world corresponds to various places on the blue planet. We don't know where the Ho-Oh is on the blue planet, nor do we know where the Ho-Oh corresponds to in the spirit world. So we can only ask for help from Machado, and Machado can modify the position of the portal to the spirit world at will, so that the line of sight can appear at various locations in the spirit world at any time."

Ren Yan thought thoughtfully. In this case, it would be easier to ask Suicune to introduce Ho-Oh. After all, there is no need to go to the spirit world.

But looking for Mashado would be just a little troublesome at best.

Ren Yan was not picky. He was thankful to see the Phoenix King and didn't consider anything else.

As he spoke, Machado stretched out his little hand and condensed ghost energy on his two little fingers.

The little finger draws the Tai Chi symbol in the air.

The Tai Chi continued to rotate, contracting inward and then suddenly releasing, and thus, a circular spiritual world portal with a diameter of three meters appeared vertically.

"Let's go..." Xia Rou pulled Ren Yan towards the portal.

As I walked into the portal, I saw a dazzling light. When I opened my eyes again, I found a tunnel that was constantly rotating like a pipe.

At the end of the tunnel is a forest that is darker and more eerie than the Black Forest.

But in this quiet tunnel, there was an old man sitting.

The old man looked to be a hundred years old, his face was full of vicissitudes, and he seemed to have no strength at all, like a candle in the wind in his twilight years, his life's breath about to be extinguished.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, revealing cloudy eyes, and looked at Xia Rou.

"You are finally here..." the old man said slowly.

Xia Rou tugged at Ren Yan: "I'll take him to see the Phoenix King first..."

"Go ahead..."

Xia Rou smiled slightly, pulled Ren Yan past the old man, and walked into the eerie forest of the spiritual world.

Ren Yan's expression froze slightly. The moment he entered this world, he realized that there were no less than a hundred ghost-type Pokémon within the range that the surrounding wave force could sense.

Ren Yan did not fully activate the power of the waveguide, but just maintained a permanent state of several dozen meters.

"Release your ghost-type Pokémon and conceal your breath, otherwise, your mental power will become the most delicious food for these ghost-type Pokémon..." Xia Rou said as she released the champion-level Gengar and the king-level Dragon Ball.

Ren Yan nodded and released Shiny Gengar and Dragonite.

The ghost-type Pokémon has its own ghost-type aura, and it just wraps up Ren Yan on the left and right.

It is equivalent to hiding the breath of Ren Yan's life.

Ren Yan followed Xia Rou into the depths of the forest.

As he walked, he passed through the gloomy dark forest, then a dead wood forest that was as silent as death, and then a cemetery plain filled with traditional tombstones and crosses. In a dark purple plain, Ren Yan saw the majestic temple in the distance.

The Temple of the Phoenix King...

The temple was not as magnificent as Ren Yan had imagined. Instead, the bluestone bricks and the dark blue atmosphere gave Ren Yan a strong feeling of the underworld.

Is this where the Phoenix King lives?

Ren Yan continued to follow Xia Rou with doubts.

As I approached the temple, I was surprised to see two king-level night spirits guarding the gate.

Xia Rou indicated that both herself and Ren Yan were from the Huaxia Alliance.

After confirming it, the Night Demon chose to open the door and allowed Xia Rou and Ren Yan to enter.

Entering the temple, it was an empty house, nothing in it except that it looked more like the underworld.

But at the moment when Xia Rou and Ren Yan entered the temple.

Another portal suddenly appeared on the empty land ahead.

The difference is that on the other side of the portal, Ren Yan can see clouds, clouds in the real world.

"You need to communicate in advance to see the Phoenix King. I am not qualified to see the Phoenix King... Go ahead, I've been waiting for you here..." Xia Rou chuckled.

Ren Yan glanced at Xia Rou, nodded slightly, and walked towards the colorful portal.

When Ren Yan walked into the portal, it disappeared immediately. Xia Rou sighed deeply, turned around and walked out of the temple, getting farther and farther away from the temple...
