Chapter 663: Chapter 201: The Lotus Sect Takes Action, Brothers Finally Reunite
Imperial Capital, over a month has passed since the Miracle Beast Garden was divided into three.
Compared to the time it took Lady Yan to fuse with the Pig, the Mortuary Workshop’s fusion with the Snake is evidently faster.
The Incense Worship Sect still retains many people.
During this period, a skeleton quickly arrived outside the city, summoning Peng Mingyi to "see" the new master.
Peng Mingyi was the Jade Remains of the Miracle Beast Garden, but now that the Mortuary Workshop has fused with a third of the Miracle Beast Garden, Peng Mingyi naturally became the Jade Remains of the Mortuary Workshop.
The Incense Worship Sect approached seven times in succession, but all were rejected by Peng Mingyi.
The reason for the rejection was quite reasonable, which was to reorganize the Ghost Riders.
On that day of the great battle, the Ghost Riders were scattered, and now it is exactly the time for the Firefly Demon and Peng Mingyi to reassemble them.
Everyone knew how important the Ghost Riders were.
Without the Ghost Riders, all crucial plans outside could not be safely carried out.
Although the Mortuary Workshop is powerful, it is confined to its original location; as long as "Forbidden Entry Tokens" are erected around it, the full abilities of the Mortuary Workshop cannot be exercised and can only achieve its goals through skeletons and external forces.
So, Peng Mingyi’s reason for refusing to meet was very reasonable.
...
On the other hand, the White Lotus and Red Lotus sects began searching everywhere for the Emperor. Without the Emperor, they could not smoothly control the Jade Capital. Unfortunately, they could not find him...
...
Meanwhile, at the moment something went wrong in the Miracle Beast Garden, the Lotus Sect quickly returned to check.
After all, everyone did not understand, clearly, victory was in grasp, the overall situation settled, so how did a sudden accident happen?
Why was only one-third of the Miracle Beast Garden absorbed?
The Lotus Sect skeletons possessed many tools.
The "Thousand-Mile in a Line" was one of them.
Tools like the "Thousand-Mile in a Line", although rare and expensive, had been purchased again from the Mianzhou Daoist Extreme Paradise with a lot of ghost coins earned by the Lotus Sect and the skeletons through living people over the years.
The number was not many, but there was certainly more than one.
Unfortunately, when the Lotus Sect skeletons appeared in the Southern Land, they found the Ghost Street in chaos, making investigation impossible.
However, beyond the Ghost Street, it was still Lotus Sect territory.
A large number of Lotus Sect disciples and elders gathered there.
The Lotus Sect skeletons used the "Thousand-Mile in a Line" to exchange intelligence between both sides.
Slowly...
The Lotus Sect finally collected a batch of remnants from Ghost Street.
These remnants were the powerful ones hidden in the Zhong Mansion.
The skeleton remnants, in cooperation with the well-established Lotus Sect disciples, began a joint investigation.
And until this moment, they finally confirmed one thing... an incredible, unimaginable thing.
...
At this moment, on a high cliff deep in the mountains, a group of figures wrapped in Lotus Robes stood gazing into the distance.
The Lotus Robes fluttered fiercely, yet in this seemingly silent area, there was a sinister aura.
In their sight, was reflected a huge bizarre architecture cluster nestled deep within.
However, this should have been a similarly terrifying ancient village, shrouded in mist, with faint murmurs, rejections, giant snake slithers, and pig snores among other strange noises.
But the forbidden ancient village had disappeared, replaced by a black and white market set on an iceberg...
Twisted Yin Qi like the seaweed in the deep sea, like smoke in the wind, twisting and turning.
The immense Yin Qi indicated that this place was indeed a forbidden territory,
This market sat quietly, with many iron cages hanging at the corners of the buildings.
The cages were empty, yet it was unknown what they were meant to hold.
"This is... a new Ghost Realm..."
A newly arrived elder of the Lotus Sect could hardly believe his eyes, "Where is the other half of the Miracle Beast Garden? Where did it go?"
Beside him, a man wrapped in a Black Lotus Robe suddenly said coldly, "Swallowed by Yama."
"Yama?"
No elder was unfamiliar with this name.
However, Yama seemed to have disappeared a long, long time ago.
According to reports, Yama likely appeared in the desolate West, and due to the great distance and inability to target her, the Lotus Sect left her alone.
But no one could forget "Yama."
The Black Lotus Sect skeleton speaking at this moment was named Yu Wen, and he continued, "Yama, she originally only had a general store on Ghost Street, at most comparable to a flower shop, but now she exists on par with the Miracle Beast Garden.
She... likely became an Evil Ghost from a living person."
This investigation result left everyone in silence, even with a chilling feeling.
Ghost realms like the Mortuary Workshop and Miracle Beast Garden could not achieve such intelligence. At most, they could create Jade Remains and then have humans help complete certain tasks for them.
When it came to intelligence, the awakened Evil Ghosts in the Mortuary Workshop and Miracle Beast Garden could be said to be like dullards among humans, only appearing extremely cunning in applying murder rules, but completely incapable of strategic judgment and foresight, let alone such acts of "hitting after the fire starts, reaping without sowing."
"Yama, should have Jade Remains, right?" said an elder from the Lotus Sect suddenly.
Yu Wen didn’t speak, but a white-robed woman with a manic expression next to him said, "Yama has no Jade Remains."
The elder asked, "Why?"
This white-robed woman was Ms. Long, the former roommate of Pang Yuanhua, also called Long Gumei. Although she was a skeleton, she had always been a low-profile Fifth Grade, so her longevity was not yet exhausted.
At this moment, she glanced at the talking elder and said, "Elder Gu, if you knew what Yama was doing in Ghost Street, you would understand... she would never use countless children to test Jade Remains."
The elder frowned slightly.
Long Gumei continued, "She also enjoyed the benefits during her time on Ghost Street, but unfortunately... the benefits she enjoyed were not as much as other Ghost Shops.
