Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 756 Don’t Ask Me

Xie Zhuolian just cannot get the pale face out of her mind.

Even if she closes her eyes, she can still remember it clearly.

However, when she was in Qiu City, Xie Zhuolian saw a lot of things more dreadful than that face.

Therefore, the pale face is actually nothing to her.

“Cai, don’t be afraid. I’m here with you,” while talking, Xie Zhuolian has stood up.

Cai grips Xie Zhuolian’s clothes tightly but she seems to fear that she may hurt Xie Zhuolian by doing that, so she hastens to release her hand.

“Cai, sit up.” Xie Zhuolian inhales a deep breath and takes two steps forward, operating the strength in her body.

She enters Taoism through medical cultivation. The strength in her body is medical strength. When she is in a battle, her fighting capacity is not very strong.

However, under the current circumstance, she can only exert it.

“What is that? Show yourself!”

After saying that, Xie Zhuolian regrets it.

Why did she ask it to get out?

If it really comes out and she cannot defeat it, what should she do?

It will be really embarrassing then.

Luckily, it doesn’t listen to Xie Zhuolian.

That figure sinks again, causes some subtle ripples and then leaves.

“Oh no...” Xie Zhuolian is a bit panic-stricken.

Is it the ghost of the Ghost Sect?

If yes, does it mean they have been found by the Ghost Sect?

She turns to look at Cai and finds that Cai is lowering her head with a pale face.

“Cai, don’t be afraid. That thing has left.” Xie Zhuolian comforts her with a forced smile, “Maybe that’s only a fish? Haven’t you heard of this? In the sea, there is a kind of ghost-face fish, whose back looks like a ghost’s face due to the refraction of light. As a matter of fact, it is a kind of fish only. There is nothing to be afraid of...”

Before Xie Zhuolian finishes talking, she is interrupted by Cai.

“Sister Xie, that thing... I find it very familiar.”

“What?” Xie Zhuolian is astonished and then asks in surprise, “Have you met it before?”

When Cai raises her head, her face is full of tears.

She sobs, “That...seems to be my dad.”

Xie Zhuolian is too astonished to utter a word.

About one hour later, Gao Ge finally gets out of the water.

At that moment, Xie Zhuolian is freaked out again.

“Gao Ge? You are back?”

Gao Ge nods.

“Are you okay? How is it going?” Xie Zhuolian asks.

“I’ve been to the island, which is not very big. There is a forest and a hill on it,” Gao Ge says.

“You’ve been to the island?” Xie Zhuolian is shocked.

Gao Ge takes a look at her and says, “There is nobody on the island except for some animals.”

Xie Zhuolian is a bit confused to hear that.

“Did we get it wrong? The Ghost Sect is not here?”

“Impossible. We can’t get it wrong. Instead, my way of getting on the island is wrong,” Gao Ge says.

Seeing Xie Zhuolian’s confused look, Gao Ge explains, “You should know about the Peach Blossom Spring, right? The fisherman entered the Peach Blossom Spring for the first time. Then after he left that place, why couldn’t he find it again? This is a similar case. At first, the fisherman found the right route and got into the Peach Blossom Spring through the magic array haphazardly. However, he didn’t actually find the way to enter that place. Therefore, he couldn’t get in there anymore.”

Xie Zhuolian nods and says, “That’s to say, there is a magic array around the island?”

Gao Ge laughs.

This is indisputable.

However, it is not an easy thing to crack the magic array.

Gao Ge only knows a bit about it.

Master Guanshan knows more than him.

Of course, Gao Ge doesn’t need to worry about this issue for now. There are masters of this aspect in the Dragon Court.

If they cannot figure out any solution either, he can only deal with it on his own.

When he sits down, he finds that Cai looks sulky with her head lowered and her face stained with tears.

“What’s wrong?” Gao Ge asks.

Xie Zhuolian pats her head and says, “After you got into the water, we encountered something weird.”

Speaking of that, she looks at Cai and heaves a sigh. Then, she tells Gao Ge about what has happened and what they have seen.

After hearing Xie Zhuolian out, Gao Ge is a bit surprised.

He also looks at Cai and nods, saying with a smile, “Maybe you were dim-sighted. Cai, you must miss your father too much.”

Cai looks at Gao Ge and sobs without saying anything.

Obviously, Cai has been certain that the figure was her father.

“Don’t think too much,” Gao Ge says, “If your father really dies, he must have crossed over. Maybe he has been reincarnated, right?”

Cai shakes her head.

“According to Grandpa Ma, there are some water ghosts in the sea. They are death-substituting ghosts. So, they cannot be reincarnated unless they find their substitutes.”

Gao Ge feels a headache.

He is quite resigned.

Kid as Cai is, she does know quite a lot.

There are quite some sayings about water ghosts and death-substituting ghosts.

Gao Ge has another guess.

Yet, he cannot be sure about it now.

He restarts the yacht and returns to Red Fish Village.

Gao Ge can only ask Xie Zhuolian to comfort Cai. After all, he is poor at this kind of thing.

In the room, Ge Chunrong and Zhang Jian sit in the chairs, updating Gao Ge about the Dragon Court.

“You are saying that Heaven Dragon and the others have arrived at Julang City?” Gao Ge asks.

“Yeah, Lord Heaven Dragon has headed here with several experts in magic array,” Zhang Jian says, “They will probably arrive before dusk.”

Gao Ge nods and frowns.

“What’s wrong?” Ge Chunrong asks.

Gao Ge takes a deep breath and says, “I suspect that we may have been found by the Ghost Sect.”

Ge Chunrong and Zhang Jian are both shocked to hear that.

“Cai and Xie Zhuolian told me that they had seen Cai’s father in the water. That should be a ghost. If this place is really the base of the Ghost Sect, maybe Cai’s father is the ghost of the Ghost Sect now. Since he has seen us, they must have noticed our arrival,” Gao Ge says.

Ge Chunrong thinks about it and says, “Not necessarily. Maybe that is an ordinary ghost? It may not be a ghost of the Ghost Sect.”

Gao Ge takes a meaningful look at him and says, “Since the era of aura recovery, no matter what I’ve encountered, I will be prepared for the worst. Only in this way can I gain the best result.”

Ge Chunrong is lost for words.

Zhang Jian asks, “What should we do now?”

“Let’s play it by ear. We’ve got here by now. No matter what, we cannot give up,” Gao Ge says in a stern voice.

“Do I need to tell Lord Heaven Dragon?” Ge Chunrong asks in a low voice.

Gao Ge says with a half-smile, “Don’t ask me. Even if I ask you not to tell him, will you keep it to yourselves?”
