#1129 - Chapter 1129: Flower Calls Grass

Gongsun Qing and Wen Jie tactfully stepped aside, giving Ye Kong room to act.

Ye Kong slowly gathered his energy, channeling the spiritual energy within his body to his arms. A spiritual aura gradually rose around him from bottom to top.

Ye Kong's brow relaxed, and he slammed his right palm against the tower door.

"Boom~ Kwang!"

The tower door opened in response, crashing heavily against the surrounding wall.

"Whoa!" Although they had witnessed Ye Kong's strength before, Ye Kong's actions still surprised them.

Ye Kong retracted his hand and glanced back at the others.

"Let's go."

His tone was calm and indifferent.

The group entered the nine-story Floating Pagoda.

As soon as they entered, the tower door slammed shut with a "Boom!" Zhang Tie warily looked around.

But Ye Kong said, "It's alright, keep moving forward."

Ye Kong's words eased Zhang Tie's vigilance.

-

After entering the nine-story Floating Pagoda, the space inside was not as it appeared from the outside. After walking for a while, Ye Kong and the others arrived at a small door.

Ye Kong waved his hand, and a surge of powerful force struck the small door in front of them.

"Bang!" A shattering sound rang out as the small door completely splintered into pieces.

Ye Kong led the others inside.

Passing through the small door, the group entered a silent night.

In the chaotic and dim night sky, dark clouds gathered. Under the hazy moonlight, a dark forest was shrouded, accompanied by fine raindrops falling in the silent night.

The group walked along a narrow, winding path, which made Shengge feel a bit eerie and frightening.

The wind swayed in the tall treetops, making a huge and slow rustling sound.

A cool breeze swept through, and the forest was filled with an atmosphere of fear. This forest seemed to be full of mysterious aura, and the moss in the forest made people shudder.

The fallen leaves under their feet seemed to have been there for a long time. Sometimes, they fell slowly, disturbing the tranquility of the forest, like a faint sigh, lingering in this ancient forest, sometimes gentle, sometimes desolate.

Ye Kong and his group walked for an unknown amount of time, but they had not found any clues about the Ghost Spirit Grass.

The group stopped.

Zhang Tie looked around. Even in the darkness, Zhang Tie felt that the scenery around him had never changed.

"Ye Kong, do you feel like we've already been here before?" Zhang Tie asked Ye Kong immediately.

Even if Zhang Tie didn't ask, Ye Kong had noticed the abnormality.

"Mm."

Ye Kong responded calmly.

Then, Ye Kong quickly cast a spell with one hand, holding two fingers upright in front of his eyes.

When Ye Kong opened his eyes again, they shone brightly.

Everything in front of him revealed its true form in Ye Kong's eyes, all of which were illusory forests formed by black mist.

A place not far away emitting a faint green light caught Ye Kong's attention.

Ye Kong narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards the place emitting the green light.

Zhang Tie and the others warily looked around, following behind Ye Kong.

Arriving at the place emitting the faint green light, in front of them was a huge ancient tree reaching into the sky, seemingly blocking out the sun.

"The Ghost Spirit Grass should be here," Ye Kong closed his eyes and opened them again, returning to normal.

Because of Ye Kong's words, Zhang Tie and Gongsun Qing looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and then walked to the vicinity of the ancient tree.

The group found that the ancient tree was extremely thick. Even if they all surrounded the ancient tree, there would still be a distance between them.

Shengge accidentally tripped over a tree trunk hidden among the weeds.

Shengge found this tree trunk very strange, and couldn't see the top of the branches at a glance.

Guided by curiosity, Shengge lowered her head and walked in the direction the tree trunk extended.

At this moment, on the tree behind Shengge, a withered and thin face suddenly appeared, with only a head and no facial features.

The terrifying face emerged from the tree, looked at Shengge's back, and smiled strangely.

On the other side, Ye Kong was examining the ancient tree, wondering where the Ghost Spirit Grass would be located.

Zhang Tie and the others searched around the ancient tree for a while and returned to Ye Kong's side.

Ye Kong looked at Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie shook his head. Wen Jie was in the same situation. Gongsun Qing said helplessly: "I've climbed up the tree to look, there's no Ghost Spirit Grass, only leaves."

After speaking, Gongsun Qing casually threw away a leaf in his hand.

At this moment, Wen Jie noticed that Shengge had not yet appeared, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Gongsun Qing also noticed that Shengge had not yet appeared.

"Did Shengge find something? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Gongsun Qing said as he walked in another direction.

Ye Kong suddenly realized something and followed.

The group circled around the ancient tree, but they never found Shengge's figure.

The group suddenly realized that Shengge was gone!

"Ye Kong!" Zhang Tie was a little anxious, looking at Ye Kong with a worried expression.

Before Ye Kong could answer, rustling sounds rang out around them.

The group immediately became vigilant, the four of them back to back, paying attention to the situation in front of them.

Ye Kong's reaction speed was extremely fast. As soon as a black shadow flashed past, he immediately chased after it.

Zhang Tie and the others immediately followed.

After the group left, there was a slight movement around the soil under the ancient tree.

The soil slowly wriggled and piled up, as if something was about to break out of the soil.

Dark clouds floated by, and in the moment the moonlight shone down, the soil suddenly scattered, and a pure white jade-like flower emerged from the ground.

The petals were as thin as cicada wings. When the wind blew, the petals stuck together. From a distance, it looked like it was integrated with the weeds.

The Ghost Spirit Grass emitted a faint, alluring white light, giving people a feeling of awe.

Ye Kong chased the black shadow to a cold, humid, and dark place.

Arriving here, the black shadow accelerated and disappeared into the darkness.

As soon as Ye Kong arrived, he was attracted by a figure hanging on a tree. Seeing the familiar clothes, Ye Kong's eyes widened. After only a moment of surprise, he gave up chasing the black shadow.

With a leap, he reached out and took down Shengge, who was hanging on the tree.

Shengge, who had been affected by the Illusion Spirit Incense, found it difficult to keep a clear head. Relying on her primordial spirit's subconscious self-protection, she still had a trace of consciousness.

In a daze, Shengge only felt that her whole body was being grabbed by many blood-stained hands, grabbing her feet, entangling her hands, pinching her neck, and trapping her whole body, making it impossible for her to break free no matter what.

Until a pair of hands appeared, pulling her away, and a huge force rescued her from the bondage, she fell into a warm embrace without warning.

She tried her best to open her eyes and see the person in her arms, but her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she only smelled a reassuring sandalwood fragrance.

Faintly.
