Chapter 263 Stone Chamber
Chapter 263 Stone Chamber
In Chujiang Mansion, Xue Wu Ran walked around alone for a long time and no longer knew where he was.
Seeing that the patrols and troop deployments in Chujiang Mansion had become several times stronger, Xue Wuran knew very well that all of this was to guard against him.
After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the soul of his disciple, or the place where it was kept after being captured by the ghost general.
Originally, Xue Wu Ran wanted to catch someone at random to ask questions, but after observing for a long time, he did not find anyone alone.
It must be said that the security at Chujiang Mansion was extremely tight, and Xue Wuran didn't even have a chance to take action.
"Hey, which team are you from? Why are you here alone?"
Just when Xue Wu Ran was worrying about where to continue searching next, a shout came from behind him.
Xue Wu Ran had experienced this several times before and was used to it.
"I am the third column of the tomb - the ghost Yu Shangnan."
After hearing Xue Wu Ran's answer, a man who looked like the team leader stared at him with some doubt in his eyes.
The man looked at Xue Wu Ran and asked.
"Shouldn't your team be patrolling the stone chamber right now? What are you doing here alone?"
"Just now when I was on patrol, I had to go to the bathroom because I had to go to the bathroom. When I came out, I didn't see them."
"I'm new here and not familiar with the terrain, so I got lost here."
Xue Wu Ran took the words he had used to fool the other teams and answered the person in front of him word for word.
"Oh?"
Hearing Xue Wu Ran's answer, this person showed a suspicious expression on his face and stared at Xue Wu Ran with an unfriendly look.
Seeing this, Xue Wu Ran's heart tightened, thinking that this person was so vigilant.
After all, this was the rhetoric used in the previous rounds and no one doubted it. Instead, the person in front of him began to doubt what he said.
Could it be that he discovered his identity?
"Xiao Nanzi, why are you here?"
Just as Xue Wu Ran was thinking, a shout came from not far away.
Hearing the voice, Xue Wu Ran also recognized it as Yu Shangnan.
Soon, Yu Shangnan rushed to Xue Wuran's side and said in a blaming tone.
"I wonder what you've been dawdling for most of the day? We've already finished our patrol, are you slacking off again?"
Xue Wu Ran could tell that Yu Shangnan's words were meant to help her out, so she quickly spoke up to agree.
"Sorry...I...I'm lost..."
When Yu Shangnan heard Xue Wuran's answer, his expression changed slightly. This reason was too far-fetched.
Lost? Who would believe it?
Yu Shangnan glanced at Xue Wuran, then looked at the person standing not far away, and spoke in a slightly flattering tone.
"Brother Mantao, my subordinate is still quite young and new here. Can you please show some leniency and not tell Lord Jiemie..."
While speaking, Yu Shangnan took out a bead from his arms, walked up to Man Tao and secretly put it into his hand.
"Brother Mantao, I found this with Lord Ghost General a while ago. Take a look..."
Man Tao glanced at Yu Shangnan, then looked at Xue Wu Ran not far away.
Perhaps because of the beads given by Yu Shangnan, Man Tao's complexion improved a little.
"Okay, take him away quickly. We are on guard against the enemy now. Let's spare him this time. You may not be so lucky next time."
After saying that, Man Tao left with his team.
Watching Man Tao and others disappear around the corner, Yu Shangnan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Yu Shangnan looked at Xue Wuran who was not far away and said with a slightly complaining tone.
"Senior, didn't I just tell you to stay where you are and wait for me? Why did you disappear as soon as I came back?"
"If I hadn't arrived in time, I would have been exposed just now."
Hearing this, Xue Wu Ran's old face flushed slightly, and he avoided Yu Shangnan's gaze, looking a little unnatural.
Looking at Xue Wuran's expression, Yu Shangnan didn't know what to say.
Needless to say, it must be because of his apprentice. Yu Shangnan could also understand his behavior.
"Alright, senior, this matter has passed. Now the cave has become heavily guarded. Let's leave here first."
Xue Wu Ran didn't say much and followed Yu Shangnan. The two of them walked towards the depths of the cave.
Yu Shangnan stopped when they reached a stone chamber.
Yu Shangnan took out a token from his arms and placed it in the groove of the stone chamber.
As the token was placed in, a wisp of dark green mist instantly emanated from the groove.
Then, the door of the stone chamber slowly opened.
"Senior, come in quickly!"
Yu Shangnan called out to Xue Wuran and walked towards the interior of the stone chamber first.
Xue Wu Ran followed Yu Shangnan, and just as they walked into the stone chamber, the stone door closed again.
As soon as he looked up, even though Xue Wu Ran had experienced many storms, he was still frightened by the scene in front of him.
What appeared before Xue Wu Ran's eyes at this moment were souls one after another.
Looking around, the entire stone chamber was almost filled with countless souls.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xue Wu Ran showed surprise and turned back to look at Yu Shangnan and asked.
"Where is this place..."
"This stone chamber is where the Chujiang Mansion imprisons souls. The ghosts will send all the souls they capture here." Yu Shangnan looked at Xue Wuran and explained.
Xue Wu Ran knew a little about the ghost general and the behavior of the Chujiang Mansion from Xingnong, but at this moment, the souls in front of him made Xue Wu Ran feel that he still underestimated the ability of the Chujiang Mansion.
From these numerous souls, Xue Wu Ran seemed to see the many evil deeds committed by the Chujiang Mansion, as well as the ambitions and desires of the demon forces.
After a long pause, Xue Wu Ran finally remembered the important matter and looked at Yu Shangnan and asked.
"My disciple is here..."
Yu Shangnan shook his head and spoke slowly.
"Your disciple is not here. I have also carefully searched other places in the cave, but I have not found any trace of your disciple."
"If you are worried, you can search for it yourself in the stone chamber."
Xue Wu Ran seemed to understand what Yu Shangnan said. It seemed that it would be an extremely arduous task for her to find Wu Yuying's soul among the countless souls.
However, when he thought of his Ying'er, Xue Wu Ran seemed to be filled with strength again.
"Ying'er..."
"If you can hear me, you should be my teacher..."
Perhaps because he missed Wu Yuying a little, Xue Wu Ran's voice became a little trembling when he called out.
"Ying'er..."
"..."
Xue Wu Ran shouted a few more times, but got no response.
"Senior, it's useless for you to shout. These souls can't hear you."
Xue Wu Ran was a little confused when she heard Yu Shangnan's words. Before Xue Wu Ran could ask, Yu Shangnan continued to preach.
"Any soul that is brought into the Chujiang Mansion by the ghost generals will have their consciousness wiped out by them."
"In other words, even if we find your apprentice's spirit, her previous memories will not exist."
Yu Shangnan's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Xue Wuran.
At the same time, he felt even more resentful towards the ghost general and the Chujiang Mansion.
Xue Wu Ran seemed to have imagined the scene in his mind where he found Wu Yuying's soul, but Wu Yuying woke up and didn't recognize him at all.
Suddenly, Xue Wu Ran's eyes became sharp and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Ghost General... I want you to pay for your blood debt with blood."
"I am going to massacre the Chujiang Mansion!"
Yu Shangnan was also frightened by Xue Wu Ran's appearance at the moment. After recovering from his shock, he looked at Xue Wu Ran and said.
"Senior, let's quickly search for your apprentice's soul, or it will be too late and I'm afraid someone will notice it."
After hearing Yu Shangnan's reminder, Xue Wu Ran also realized the situation they were in. He did not hesitate any longer and quickly calmed himself down.
Afterwards, the two of them searched for Wu Yuying's soul among the countless souls.
