Chapter 1980: Chapter 1979: The Inescapable Passage!

The two of them tacitly did not expose each other.

At this moment, the ’Daoist No-Conflict’ suddenly spoke: "Everyone, have any of you noticed something?"

"What?" Everyone turned to look at this ’Daoist No-Conflict’.

At the same time, they studied him carefully.

"This Daoist’s strength is actually stronger than mine; this Dragon Country really is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Outside of the Tianjiao rankings, there are actually many 20+ year old Earth Realm Martial Artists," Audrey secretly noted at this moment.

The Snow Girl also glanced at this ’Daoist No-Conflict’ a few more times; with the Daoist’s strength, naturally, he could rank in the top ten of the Tianjiao rankings.

"It seems that the ranking of the Tianjiao rankings, just like the God Ranking, still has many powerful people not included."

Whether it’s the Tianjiao rankings or the God Ranking, after all, they are ranked by people.

Although the ranking was done by ’Kunlun’.

It mastered the most terrifying intelligence in the world.

But it’s impossible to include all the experts in it.

Take the Tianjiao rankings, for instance; if some Tianjiao, such as those from the Hidden Clan, have always stayed within their clan and have never taken action outside, then even with Kunlun’s intelligence, it’s impossible to include these people’s data in it.

Moreover, some people naturally prefer to keep a low profile, so they deliberately conceal their strength. How would you know their true power if they don’t make a move?

Also, some powerful forces don’t want their clan’s Tianjiao to be put in the limelight.

So the family’s ancestors have mentioned to Kunlun not to include their clan’s Tianjiao in the rankings.

Kunlun, of course, has to respect this face.

The Snow Girl at this moment had to sigh, "Although I am ranked third in the Tianjiao rankings, there should be more than two people among my peers who are more powerful than me."

Her trip to the Hidden Dragon Cave made her realize deeply that there are more talented people out there in the world.

Especially the Martial Arts World of the Dragon Country, full of hidden talents; no wonder it is called the birthplace of martial arts.

At this moment, the Loose Cultivator Lingxiao couldn’t help asking ’Daoist No-Conflict’:

"Daoist, what did you discover? Hurry and tell us. Don’t keep us in suspense."

Daoist No-Conflict pointed to the pillar next to him and said coolly, "Just now I observed specifically that this pillar, we’ve encountered before."

"Which means we are actually not moving forward all this time. Instead, we have been going around in circles."

"That’s why we have walked several hundred kilometers but haven’t yet walked out of this dark passage."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Lin Dong also nodded at this moment and said, "Indeed, according to the Daoist, we have indeed been going around in circles."

"How is this possible? We’ve been walking straight; the path is supposed to be a straight line. How can it turn into going around in circles?" Audrey, the guide, had the most say.

They were clearly walking straight, without any turns.

How could it become walking in circles?

"Maybe, we’ve encountered a ghost wall." At this moment, the ’Daoist No-Conflict’ spoke.

"Ghost wall?" Upon hearing these three words, the Dragon Country warriors’ faces slightly changed, showing a weird expression.

As for the Western warriors, they were completely perplexed, not knowing what it meant.

Audrey looked at Lin Dong and asked, "Brother Dong Lin, do you know what the Daoist meant by ghost wall?"

The Snow Girl, Blood Spirit, and other Western warriors also looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong smiled and explained: "A ghost wall is a kind of folklore in our Dragon Country."

"It refers to when we pass through a specific area, our eyes are covered by ghosts. Thus, repeated routes and scenes appear, as if entering a maze."

"If the ghost wall is not broken, we will keep walking in this specific area until we die of exhaustion."

Hearing Lin Dong’s explanation, Blood Spirit’s face turned pale, and she murmured, "Is there really a ghost in this world?"

Lin Dong, somewhat puzzled, said, "Why, you, a noble from the Blood Clan, are actually afraid of ghosts?"

Shouldn’t the ghosts fear her?

Blood Spirit scratched her head and said, "Who said I’m afraid? I’m just curious; is there really such a thing as ghosts in this world?"

Lin Dong said: "Yin souls do exist. Some people’s obsessions in life are very deep, and after death, they may become yin souls."

"These yin souls, if there is no specific place to house them, like some soul instruments for them to survive, then they will not last long before disappearing."

"But if they can hide in something like a soul instrument, then not only will they not disappear, but they can even grow stronger."

"Also, some evil cultivators specifically cultivate the ghost path. They master ghost control techniques, and in our Dragon Country’s ancient times, there was a specialized class of ghost controlling masters."

"These ghost controlling masters could refine soul summoning banners and other soul instruments; they even mastered cultivation methods that allowed ghost spirits to grow. They harnessed powerful ghost spirits, becoming a terrifying force in our Dragon Country’s ancient times."

"Ghostly beings have several characteristics. Firstly, their bodies are void, enabling them to hide in the darkness. Even powerful martial artists cannot find their presence."

"The darker the environment, the stronger their concealing abilities."

"Secondly, they can wield some eerie powers, affecting people’s spirits and causing them terror."

"Thirdly, they can transform, taking on human appearances and disguising themselves as your friends."

"Fourthly, some powerful ghost spirits, upon reaching a certain level, can attach their ghostly bodies to human bodies, controlling them. In our Dragon Country’s folklore, this is called ghost possession."

"It’s said that once a ghost spirit reaches the level of a wicked ghost, it can possess a human. And using ghost walls is a technique that requires the level of a wicked ghost to execute."

"If cultivated to the level of a Ghost King, equivalent to a Heavenly Realm human cultivator, it can create a ghost domain. In an instant, it can transform a city into a ghost city. A Ghost King of such existence, even if all of us here combined, we would not be its match."

Hearing Lin Dong’s explanations, Blood Spirit’s face went pale, asking, "Then... aren’t we really encountering a ghost wall?"

"At this moment, is there a ghost covering our eyes?"

Saying this, Blood Spirit’s teeth began to chatter.

Imagining that there might be a ’ghost’ lying on her back, reaching out two hands to cover her eyes, she felt a chill run through her.

At that moment, her back felt cold, and cold sweat streamed down instantly.

Just then, Loose Cultivator Lingxiao suddenly screamed.

"Oh my god, oh my god, look at the shadows on the ground..."

Because of the light emanating from Audrey’s hand, everyone’s figures cast shadows on the ground.

Seeing his reaction so intense, everyone was puzzled.

Long Ban asked, "Shadows, is there something unusual?"

"Count the shadows on the ground, and you’ll know what’s happening!" Lingxiao trembled as he spoke.

At this moment, everyone hurriedly began counting the shadows on the ground.

"1, 2, 3... 14, 15, 16!"

On the ground, there were actually sixteen shadows.

But there were only fifteen people here!

What was the extra shadow?
