After asking this question, I gazed at Li Ying, hoping to get a definite answer from her.
However, to my disappointment, Li Ying only looked at me with her empty eyes. She didn't seem to want to answer.
I frowned. The Ghost Raising Technique wasn't orthodox Metaphysics, and I had never come into contact with it before. I couldn't be like Liang Kaixiong and order Li Ying around.
If she didn't want to answer, there was nothing I could do.
Although there was a Soul Searching Seal in the hand seal that could forcefully search the soul's memory, Li Ying's cultivation base was much higher than mine. If I used it rashly, I might suffer a backlash.
After thinking for a while, I decided to escape to a safe place and think of a way to pry open Li Ying's mouth.
If it didn't work, I would have to use the Soul Searching Seal even if I had to risk the backlash.
After spending so much effort and taking so many risks, I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't find out how Li Ying got out of the underground palace.
The driver that Wang Yongjun had sent was Wang Kun. I heard that he was Wang Yongjun's distant nephew. Since he had been with Wang Yongjun before, he had seen me use Taoist techniques many times. That was why he wasn't afraid of Li Ying's soul. After I took Li Ying back, Wang Kun asked me, "Mr. Zhou, we've already left Guangdong's territory. Should we head north?"
I nodded. "We'll head north and stop when we reach Hubei. I'll make a plan then."
I wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from the Heavenly Master, and the Metaphysics Society wasn't reliable either. When I called Wang Yongjun, I thought of the only existence that I could rely on.
The golden head at the Yellow Springs River!
Previously, Yang Shilong, Fang Xing, and the others were all existences in the Glory of Consciousness realm, but facing that golden head, they didn't even dare to have any thoughts of fighting, so I was very sure that the golden head was at least an existence on par with a Heavenly Master.
According to its attitude towards me, if I lured the Grand Supreme Elder of the Ghost Raising Sect there to attack me, the golden head would definitely help me.
Moreover, today was the fourteenth day of the first month. As long as I could hold on until nightfall, the golden head would be lured out by the Yellow Springs River!
Of course, this was only my last resort. After all, the golden head was too mysterious. If Liang Tianxin didn't come looking for me, I would stay at the Yellow Springs for a day before heading straight to the Metaphysics Headquarters to find a way to seek protection.
After that, I rested in the car for a few hours. After a night of fighting, although I hadn't consumed much of my Dao energy, the constant tension had made me very tired.
When I was woken up again, the sky was already bright. Wang Kun told me that we had reached the Hubei region.
We stopped at a service station for breakfast and gas, then returned to the car. I closed my eyes and waited.
After becoming a Geomaster, the sixth sense of a Geomaster far surpassed that of a regular person. They would be able to sense some things in advance.
After sitting in the car for around twenty minutes, I gritted my teeth and asked Wang Kun to continue to Shennongjia.
Although I didn't sense any specific aura, I had a bad feeling.
Perhaps it was because Wang Kun felt the anxiety in my voice that he sped up the car. In the morning, we rushed to Shennongjia. Then, according to my directions, we went to the scenic area near the Yellow Springs River. We didn't stop until there were no more roads for cars.
Then, I asked Wang Kun to take the money back to the scenic area and find a place to stay. After one day and one night, he would come back to find me.
Wang Kun didn't ask why. He nodded and gave me a black briefcase. "Mr. Wang asked me to give this to you." Then, he left.
After he left, I curiously opened the briefcase. There was a pistol inside, along with a few clips of bullets.
I couldn't help but smile wryly. Wang Yongjun was really thoughtful. He had even brought this thing.
However, a pistol wouldn't be of much use against a Heavenly Master. Moreover, I didn't know how to use it.
After throwing the pistol into the car, I walked to the Yellow Springs River alone.
It was already afternoon. I didn't have to hurry along the way. However, at dusk, when I was around twenty kilometers away from the Yellow Springs River, I felt a sense of danger. It seemed a strong aura had locked onto me and was crazily rushing toward me.
This aura was strangely strong. In my memory, Yang Shilong and Ye Pianpian weren't that strong.
My heart sank. It was Liang Tianxin, the Great Elder at the Angel Realm, who had chased after me!
After killing Liang Kaixiong, I had hurried on my way. It wasn't until the afternoon that I started to walk again.
Liang Tianxin had taken action as soon as he got the news. From Hong Kong to the mainland, he had chased after me. His speed was really terrifying!
I didn't dare to hesitate anymore. I gathered the Dao energy in my body and made a simple hand seal. Then, I ran along the small mountain path toward the Yellow Springs River.
Along the way, the aura that had locked onto me became thicker and thicker. When I was around two kilometers away from the Yellow Springs River, I heard an old, resentful voice in my head.
"You killed my only son. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will tear you to pieces!"
This voice came suddenly. It was just like how Tong Tong had communicated with me. It came directly from the bottom of my heart.
Is this the supernatural power of a Heavenly Master?
I gritted my teeth and tried my best to increase my speed. I didn't even have time to think. I ran as fast as I could toward the Yellow Springs River.
Although the voice didn't say anything else after saying that, I knew that the speed of a Heavenly Master was much faster than mine. Under the guidance of the Ghost Seal, Liang Tianxin was getting closer and closer to me.
As I hurried, my speed increased greatly. It took me only a few minutes to reach the Yellow Springs River for the next two kilometers.
However, when I reached the shore, I didn't feel happy. Instead, I felt even gloomier.
Because it was only eleven o 'clock at night, under the bright moonlight, a large number of floating corpses had formed a line in the river, gradually drifting downwards. However, it would still take nearly an hour for the floating corpse bridge upstream to appear.
According to my previous experience, the golden head would only appear after the floating corpse bridge appeared.
And, according to my current feeling, Liang Tianxin would appear in front of me in just one or two minutes, let alone an hour.
In my previous calculations, even though the Taoist Master's speed was fast, he would still be left behind by me. I was even worried that his speed would be too slow and the golden head would appear tonight would be a problem. But now, it seems that my understanding of the Taoist Master's power is too shallow.
I gritted my teeth and endured the fear in my heart. I slowly walked to the riverside and sat down.
It was useless to do anything now. I could only wait patiently.
Just as I had imagined, after I sat down, before I could even adjust my aura, a silvery white silhouette suddenly appeared on a small path that was shrouded in silver moonlight.
Before I could see it clearly, the figure suddenly appeared in front of me like a bolt of lightning.
"Liang Tianxin?" I looked at the wrinkled old man in front of me and asked bitterly.
Liang Tianxin had the same resentment as when he'd sent me a voice transmission. There was a trace of sorrow on his aged face, and he looked at me with his lifeless eyes. He said coldly, "How can you, a junior, casually call me by my name?
You killed my only son. I will make sure that your three souls will forever fall into the Yin Ruins and suffer for ten thousand years … Give me your life! "
He was much more decisive than Liang Kaixiong. After saying that, he extended his hand to grab me.
I didn't know why the Great Elder of the Ghost Raising Sect didn't use ghosts, but I knew that with his cultivation, I definitely wouldn't be able to live after this.
At this critical moment, I stood still and shouted, "Did you decide Li Ying's and Li Anbang's graves?
Were you the one who set up the Twenty-Eight Evil Yellow Springs Formation? "
