Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Yun Jue was dealing with the enemies chasing Guo Mingxin on this side, while on the other side, Guo Mingxin saw Xu Fengsheng and immediately rushed over like a swallow returning to the forest, throwing himself in front of Xu Fengsheng and bursting into tears.

Then came all sorts of grievances, as he had been pampered by Xu Fengsheng since childhood, never having suffered such wrongs or felt such fear. Xu Fengsheng was busy comforting his disciple, instantly forgetting everyone else.

With the person found, everyone was ready to leave the Nantian Ghost Kingdom. Luo Feng looked nervously at Nie Shuangshuang as the others were about to leave and said, "Immortal Master Nie, can I leave with you?"

This indicated a desire to continue relying on Nie Shuangshuang’s protection, and coincidentally, Nie Shuangshuang was also curious to see if there was any issue with Zhu Zhen.

If Zhu Zhen really intended to kill Luo Feng, he would definitely find another opportunity to strike later. Keeping Luo Feng by her side would ensure a way to investigate what problem Zhu Zhen had.

So, Nie Shuangshuang glanced at Luo Feng and said indifferently, "If you wish, you can follow me."

Behind them, Zhu Zhen looked at Luo Feng with a gentle expression on his face, but a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. He touched the hilt of his sword and gazed at Nie Shuangshuang’s back with malice and hatred.

Nie Shuangshuang, with her back to Zhu Zhen, lowered her head to stroke Ruoyang’s back, whose furry little head poked through Nie Shuangshuang’s arm gap.

Transmitting soundly: "Shuangshuang, you were right to be suspicious meow, just now Zhu Zhen looked at your back with such venom meow, even more malicious than he did at Luo Feng meow."

Nie Shuangshuang remained expressionless, her fingers continuing to smooth Ruoyang’s fur. She had noticed before that Zhu Zhen seemed to hate her even more than he did Luo Feng.

Although Zhu Zhen tried hard to hide it, a person’s malice cannot be concealed for long.

Especially since Nie Shuangshuang had been managing the Punishment Hall for many years, she was very adept at reading people’s expressions and understanding their thoughts, already seeing through Zhu Zhen’s supposedly well-hidden hatred for her.

This was strange; Nie Shuangshuang was well aware that she did not know Zhu Zhen at all, so why such deep-seated hatred at their first meeting?

Unless Zhu Zhen was indeed her enemy, had suffered greatly at her hands, and thus could not hide his hatred when facing her.

This also meant that Luo Feng’s previous suspicion was true; Zhu Zhen definitely had a problem, and even if he wasn’t possessed by ghost demons, there might be something else.

In this world, not only ghost demons possess people; other methods exist that can turn someone into another person, such as body snatching, soul transference, both very covert means that can transform a person completely.

Then this Zhu Zhen might very well be an old acquaintance of hers. Nie Shuangshuang began to ponder which old acquaintance hated her so much.

But after thinking for a long time, Nie Shuangshuang realized that she had killed so many practitioners of dark arts and many harbored hatred for her, so she couldn’t pinpoint who it might be.

If she couldn’t figure it out, so be it; if it was a ghost or monster, sooner or later, they would reveal themselves. Nie Shuangshuang instructed Ruoyang to keep an eye on Zhu Zhen and didn’t dwell on it any further.

When they entered the Nantian Ghost Kingdom, they had spent several days searching while traveling, but on the way out they did not need to search, so the pace was much faster, although the younger ones like Guo Mingxin did slow it down a bit.

Apparently, Guo Mingxin had managed to escape in the Nantian Ghost Kingdom for so long by essentially burning Spirit Stones.

Just one Top-grade Spirit Stone can allow a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator access to a month’s worth of Spiritual Energy, yet it was completely consumed by the Flying Boat in no time. Over this long escape, Guo Mingxin consumed well over ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Originally, everyone planned to leave directly without resting, but after not even half a day, they began to sense something was wrong.

Suddenly, there were many high-level ghost demon presences around them, Nie Shuangshuang furrowed her brows. What was going on? Were the ghost demons attacking them?

Although the Nantian Ghost Kingdom had numerous ghost demons, high-level ghost demons were usually solitary, each marking their own territory, rarely gathering together.

Normally, even if a ghost demon invaded another’s territory, they would not avoid a fight, so why were so many high-level ghost demons gathering suddenly?

As Nie Shuangshuang noticed the anomaly, so did the others around her, and they all halted, forming an automatic circle, with Guo Mingxin and other less cultivated youths protected in the center.

Nie Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement appeared in her hand, countless projections encircling them, maintaining high alert, while Ruoyang leapt from Nie Shuangshuang’s embrace to her shoulder, equally alert.

Simultaneously, Ruoyang transmitted soundly to Nie Shuangshuang: "Shuangshuang, earlier I noticed Zhu Zhen seemed to sprinkle something on the ground meow, but I didn’t see clearly at the time meow, his actions were too subtle meow.

I wanted to observe more meow, but before I could discover anything, these ghost demons surrounded us so quickly meow. It must be the substance he scattered attracting them meow, Zhu Zhen indeed has a problem meow."

Nie Shuangshuang raised her brows, realizing Zhu Zhen had played a big game, attempting to use these ghost demons to leave them all here. However, with ghost demons attacking, now wasn’t the time to confront Zhu Zhen.

Soon, some of the approaching ghost demons revealed their figures, including Divine Split Stage, Soul Emergence Stage, and Transcendence Tribulation Stage ghost demons, over a hundred, encircling them as they approached.

Since a fierce battle was unavoidable, the group chose to take the initiative, with Nie Shuangshuang and Yun Jue launching the first attack. Thousand Silk Entanglement and Sword Qi intertwined, instantly annihilating seven or eight ghost demons.

Following closely behind, the others also launched their attacks, employing their methods to slay the ghost demons, with Nie Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement causing the most damage. For her, Transcendence Tribulation Stage, Soul Emergence Stage, and Divine Split Stage ghost demons offered no resistance, as if made of paper-mâché.

Next was Yun Jue, his Sword Qi sharp beyond compare, with every burst slicing the ghost demons into pieces, leaving not even a whole corpse behind.

Perched on Nie Shuangshuang’s shoulder, Ruoyang was not overly greedy, targeting one ghost demon at a time, focusing on Divine Separation and Soul Emergence Stage ghost demons, with his elusive Space Blade claiming a ghost demon’s life each time.

While attacking, Nie Shuangshuang paid special attention to Zhu Zhen, noticing that although he was fighting with the others against the ghost demons fiercely, she still discerned a flaw.

Each time a ghost demon was about to strike Zhu Zhen’s vital points, it would hesitate slightly, allowing Zhu Zhen to counterattack successfully.

Though many ghost demons came to attack, they couldn’t withstand the group’s fighting prowess, especially Nie Shuangshuang and Yun Jue, who together took down most of the ghost demons. The remaining ones were easily dealt with by the others.

Just as the ghost demons were about to be slain completely, with the dawn of victory at hand, Zhu Zhen suddenly extended his hand surreptitiously, sprinkling fine powder through his fingers, prompting Nie Shuangshuang’s eyes to cool as Thousand Silk Entanglement shot toward Zhu Zhen to attack.
