Chapter 2158: Arriving at Flying Ghost City
Long Xiang calmly flew forward, but his heart was in turmoil. He was annoyed, not because of Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai was impolite to him, Long Xiang wasn’t angry. Long Xiang felt that Zhao Hai was correct. If Long Xiang was leading the people of the Long Clan, he would have agreed to Zhao Hai’s suggestion long ago.
Unfortunately, Long Xiang was leading a group from the Great Sects. It’s impossible for these people to agree to one person’s idea. After all, the Long Clan was no longer the huge clan that ruled the True Spirit Realm. Long Xiang had to consider the opinion of these people. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
What Long Xiang was angry about was being used as a tool by the Sword Hegemon Sect. In the underground world, they were in danger of being wiped out at any time. Any mistake would cause them to suffer huge losses. But at this critical time, they still used Long Xiang to deal with Zhao Hai. Long Xiang wouldn’t just let this matter off.
However, Long Xiang didn’t show his annoyance in his face. He was grateful to Zhao Hai for reminding him. He was indeed going too far in dealing with Zhao Hai. Not only did Zhao Hai not get angry, but he also sent a signal to Long Xiang.
While Long Xiang was feeling grateful to Zhao Hai, he felt disgusted at the Sword Hegemon Sect. Long Xiang was now formulating a plan on how to deal with the Sword Hegemon Sect, Imperial Beast Sect, and the Matchless Sword School.
Long Xiang discovered that these three sects had formed their own group. Therefore, if he wanted to retaliate, he needed the three of them to suffer.
The people from the other sects were also following behind Long Xiang. Nobody was making a noise. Everyone felt that something was going on, but they didn’t say anything.
After walking for an hour, Long Xiang led everyone to a dense forest to rest. Once everyone was settled, Long Xiang called the team leaders to his side. He looked at the team leaders and said, “Now is our chance. With the Tyrant Blade Sect and the True Dao Sect leaving, they would certainly use portable transmission formations. This will alert the Ghost Cultivators. As long as the Ghost Cultivators are distracted by them, we can make our move.”
As soon as they heard Long Xiang say this, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. Long Xiang looked at these people and sneered inside. Naturally, he didn’t think that Zhao Hai and the others would leave. Long Xiang and Zhao Hai had a secret communication, so Zhao Hai definitely wouldn’t leave the underground world at this time. Since they didn’t leave, the Ghost Cultivators wouldn’t place their attention on them. If it was really like what Zhao Hai said, then the Ghost Cultivators might have already discovered the group. They were just waiting to run into the trap.
However, this was also good. Long Xiang could use Ghost Cultivators to teach people a lesson, especially the Sword Hegemon Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Matchless Sword School.
Long Xiang took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual force. After seeing the contents of the jade slip, a smile bloomed on Long Xiang’s face.
Just as he thought, the jade slip came from Zhao Hai. The contents of the jade slip were also simple. It was simply telling Long Xiang that Zhao Hai and the others would help them in the Flying Ghost City branch.
Long Xiang put the jade slip down. His heart became more convinced of Zhao Hai. Compared to Zhao Hai, Lei Jian and the others simply couldn’t compare.
Although Long Xiang wanted to give an answer, he didn’t have the means to reply. Thinking of this, Long Xiang couldn’t help but sigh. Then he slowly closed his eyes and made calculations.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hai’s group were still flying towards Flying Ghost City. With Zhao Hai guiding the way, their travel was very smooth. The Tyrant Blade Sect and the True Dao Sect’s people numbered a bit more than 80. With such a small group, their progress was quick.
Along the way, Zhao Hai affirmed his own thoughts even more. He encountered several Ghost Cultivators on the road. They seem to be heading towards a certain point. This meant that Zhao Hai’s suspicions were correct. The Ghost Cultivators have found traces and were going to surround them.
It wasn’t only Zhao Hai who had this thought, the others in his team had the same idea. They discovered that they were taking multiple detours along their path. However, nobody said anything. Needless to say, Deng Wen fully trusted Zhao Hai. As for the others, they could no longer go back, so they could only follow. Most importantly, Zhao Hai’s detours have been very safe. This increased everyone’s confidence in him.
After nearly five days of hurrying along, Zhao Hai and the others finally arrived at Flying Ghost City. Just as Zhao Hai said, nobody was in the city. They could safely take a good rest. The reason Zhao Hai knew was because he mapped the city when they attacked. Because he knew that the city was empty, Zhao Hai decided to take the group here.
In the past five days, Zhao Hai and the others haven’t been traveling all the time. From time to time, Zhao Hai would hunt down one or two Ghost Cultivators to learn about the underground world’s situation.
Sure enough, two days before Zhao Hai and the others arrived at Flying Ghost City, there was news among the Ghost Cultivators that Long Xiang’s group had been discovered. After the two sides clashed, they left dozens of corpses before Long Xiang and the others ran away.
There was also news that Long Xiang and the others had been surrounded and couldn’t escape. When they heard the news, Zhao Hai and the others were a day away from Flying Ghost City. Zhao Hai doesn’t plan on saving Long Xiang and the others. He knows that Long Xiang was far from being in danger. What Zhao Hai and the others needed to do was to prepare an escape route.
Because of this, after arriving at Flying Ghost City, Zhao Hai and the others didn’t rest for long and immediately started to prepare the transmission formation. At the same time, they also prepared stabilizing formations. This was because even if the transmission formation was fixed, violent fluctuations as well as spatial formations could disrupt the transmission formation.
