Chapter 1492: Chapter 1486:

A person like Ghost Shiva is a genuine scoundrel. If her plea isn’t met, it might lead to serious consequences. Who knows, she might cause trouble behind our backs.

Prince Yuan is currently beset with enemies on all sides, plotted against by ghosts and Noble Princess Consort Zhu. He can’t afford to provoke another Ghost Shiva.

Therefore, after weighing his options, Prince Yuan came up with a plan.

He used the excuse of consulting with the Fuzhou Emperor to delay for a few days.

After all, in a few days, Third Sister and Tu Suxuan will return from Kutuo River.

Upon hearing this, Ghost Shiva realized there was still room for negotiation.

Moreover, if she wanted to gather souls on the Haotian Platform, she indeed needed the Fuzhou Emperor’s approval. Otherwise, it might lead to diplomatic issues.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Prince."

Ghost Shiva expressed her gratitude profusely before retreating.

Prince Yuan then relayed the information to Xin Lin.

After receiving the news, Xin Lin summoned the little fox.

"Soul summoning? That old ghost witch is dreaming. Her son’s soul was devoured by me long ago, and honestly, it wasn’t very tasty."

The little fox smacked its lips.

Trying to gather a soul when there’s no soul left, what can be done?

"But speaking of which, that Haotian Platform is quite remarkable, serving as a place for soul gathering?"

After hearing Xin Lin’s words, the little fox’s eyes darted around, as if it had discovered something.

"What about a soul gathering place?"

Xin Lin asked in surprise.

"Think about it. That place is where the Priest operates, so it should be a location rich in Spiritual Energy. However, it also gathers spirits. Gathering spirits occurs where Yin energy accumulates. Actually, in Wangjing City, the most suitable place for gathering spirits should be the Kutuo River, where you plan to go tomorrow. That area is heavily saturated with Ghost Energy, perfect for soul gathering. Souls are drawn to places heavy with Yin energy."

The little fox, a Ghost Cultivator, knew much more about these things than Xin Lin.

"A place where ghosts gather?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Lin’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it mean that Gui Hu would also be there?

It’s been nearly a month since the Pride Corpse left.

During this month, although the Fu Tian Pill inside hasn’t acted up,

Without Gui Hu, Xin Lin felt somewhat uneasy.

Except for Prince Yuan encountering something resembling Gui Hu, Xin Lin and the little fox had found no trace of Gui Hu.

"But a place where ghosts congregate might cause some trouble, stirring up the ghosts. The old ghost witch likely feared her son being bullied, so she chose the Haotian Platform. It’s indeed unique, with a blend of Yin and Yang energies. We might find some benefits if we get a chance to visit."

The little fox grumbled.

"Let’s worry about it after returning from the Kutuo River. Considering my relationship with Second Brother, sneaking in won’t be difficult."

She was more concerned about entering the Kutuo River.

The whereabouts of the Spiritual Wisdom Grass directly affect Danzi’s awakening of intelligence.

The next evening, Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan set off for the Kutuo River.

Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, upon reaching the entrance of the Kutuo River, Tu Suxuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The entrance to the Kutuo River is an obscure Earth Well, usually sealed with a faded official seal.

The vermillion on the seal had almost faded away. Despite it being late in the afternoon, the sun couldn’t shine into the well.

The surroundings felt eerie. Though it was still autumn, both of them felt a chill and a creeping sense of dread while standing there.
