After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

We didn't stay long in the ruins of the town.

Chen Zun left.

He inquired all the way, and finally arrived at the area where the Zhao family was located after more than ten days.

But when he stepped into this world, he found that something was not good.

There are not many immortal cultivators here, even few.

The Zhao family back then was already occupied by the small sect affiliated with the Nine Star Sect.

Chen Zun had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place, so he did not take action immediately.

The next day, he changed his identity and kept asking about this area, but returned without success.

Without him, it was only because of him that he said the two words "Zhao family", and the face of the person being asked changed drastically.

Either they dare not speak, or they yell loudly, or they say they don’t know.

All in all, everyone is very taboo about the Zhao family.

What's more, he secretly told the small sect that occupied the Zhao family's territory about his inquiries about the Zhao family.

These days, someone has been secretly investigating his whereabouts.

Chen Zun's heart moved. Since he couldn't find out anything by asking, why not start with the person who was investigating him.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take advantage of it.

After the person who came to follow him lost track of Chen Zun, he was at a loss and gritted his teeth, so he could only go back the way he came.

His cultivation level was low and he didn't know that Chen Zun was following him, so he went straight back to the small sect.

He hurriedly reported to the head of the family that someone had recently inquired about the Zhao family's affairs.

Then he talked about the situation of losing track.

The head of the house was slightly moved, but he did not dare to neglect and asked the man to step back.

He just took out a transmission talisman, hurriedly reported the situation, and let it go.

Chen Zun, who was hiding in the dark, saw this and stretched out his hand towards the transmission talisman.

The transmission note fell into his hands without a chance to struggle.

Chen Zun listened to the contents.

Only then did he realize that this transmission note was a message to someone from the Nine Star Sect.

And the content is about him coming to investigate the Zhao family.

Nine Star Gate...

Chen Zun's eyes were slightly cold.

He did not leave, but used illusions to control the head of the family.

With his current cultivation in the Void Return Stage, few people can resist it.

He asked: "Who are you communicating to?"

"I don't know. I just know that he is a certain Immortal from the Nine Star Sect. He told me that if anyone from outside asks about the Zhao family, I must report it to him."

"Why should outsiders report to him when they ask about the Zhao family?"

"The Immortal said that the Zhao family was harmed by the remnants of the demonic Blood Luo Sect back then. Anyone who comes to ask about what happened to the Zhao family must be related to the remnants of the Blood Luo Sect, so they must report to him."

This sense of precaution is very good... Chen Zun frowned after hearing the answer from the family leader.

It seemed that this unknown Nine Star Sect monk was not trying to protect himself from the remnants of the demonic Blood Luo Sect, but was trying to cover up the truth.

In order to get more information, Chen Zun asked again: "What is the name of the person from the Nine Star Sect and what does he look like?"

The confused head of the family answered honestly.

"I don't know. I haven't had much contact with him. I've met him a few times, but I've never seen his face."

Neither his name nor his face was revealed, so he was cautious enough.

Chen Zun asked a few more questions and gave up after not getting any useful information.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and prevent the news of his coming investigation from leaking out.

Chen Zun directly banned this memory of his.

Then he left the small sect and went to seal the memories of the people involved in the past few days.

After completing this matter and knowing that he could not get more effective information here, Chen Zun chose to leave here.

Reminiscent of the conversation between Feng Ruhua and Qin Mubai in the ruined temple, he was even more convinced that the Jiuxing Sect was closely related to the destruction of the Zhao family.

At least the Nine Star Sect also has ulterior motives with the remnants of the demonic Blood Luo Sect.

He decided to go to Jiuxingmen to have a look. If necessary, he would show his true face and visit in person.

Everyone inside and outside the mirror also saw some clues.

Keep watching the picture.

Chen Zun did not ride the Escape, but chose to walk in a low-key manner.

However, he discovered increasingly weird things.

Along the way, the closer we get to the Nine Star Gate, the fewer and fewer people there are.

It was more than double the number of mortals under the jurisdiction of other sects in the Central Plains.

Moreover, some towns are intact, but there is no one there, and people seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

It’s not that the Jiuxing Sect is the least visited by evil cultivators. Why are there so few people there?

This is unreasonable!

Even if the demonic people were raging and the Immortal Sect was in charge, they would not dare to do something that would cause such a large population loss.

Chen Zun felt a little uneasy inside.

In order to find the truth.

He deliberately slowed down his pace and finally found a small village with not many people living in the deep mountains and old forests.

The people in the village were wary of his arrival.

He met the village chief and made up an identity, saying that he was a martial artist who traveled around the world.

After showing off a few times, he gained the village chief's trust.

Chen Zun took the opportunity to ask why some towns were deserted and where the people had gone.

A look of fear appeared on the village chief's face, and he lowered his voice and explained.

"Those people who disappeared in the towns were said to have been attacked and abducted by evil creatures from the ghost realm."

"Who said that?"

"The Immortal Chief of the Nine Star Sect, they also said that the towns attacked by the Ghost Realm never follow any rules, and they can often take away the entire town's living people overnight. In order to avoid the tragedy, let's let I'll wait for the mortals to gather together, and when the ghost realm opens and the immortals come to rescue us, they can take us away as soon as possible."

Ghostland?

This is the first time that Chen Zun has heard of the existence of such a thing.

Moreover, assuming that the ghost realm exists, since so many strange things have happened, the Nine Star Sect does not respond.

If the Nine Star Sect cannot deal with the so-called ghost realm, it should at least notify other fellow immortal sects to come and help.

But currently, the other six major sects have not received relevant news, and the Nine Star Sect in the Central Plains has the least problems.

Why didn't Jiuxingmen conceal this important incident?

Chen Zun was worried, so he thanked the village chief and continued on his way.

Originally he wanted to conceal his identity, but if he didn't reveal himself, he wouldn't be able to go to the Nine Star Gate to find out the truth.

He couldn't understand why the Nine Star Gate didn't care about such a weird thing unless he went to the Nine Star Gate to ask about the ghost realm.

After making up his mind, Chen Zun let go.

He no longer deliberately pretended to be low-key, drove the Escape, and galloped all the way.

Accompanied by the speed of light, with his cultivation, he can reach the Nine Star Gate in less than two days.

However, less than half a day after flying, his mind swept to somewhere below.

I saw gusts of dark wind above a city, accompanied by surging black air, as if something evil was worshiping it.

"Ghostland?"

This place is only more than a day's journey from the Nine Star Gate. It would be too ostentatious for this 'ghost realm' to come out and do evil during the day.

Chen Zun's eyes narrowed.

That's fine, he wanted to see what this 'ghost realm' was.

The thought lasted for a lifetime, and then he gathered his breath and silently descended downwards.
