The system is unreliable, the host can only save herself

Tian Xuan Lingzi captured another ghost cultivator. He didn't even need to interrogate him. The natural pressure made the ghost cultivator tell everything he knew like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

It turns out that the easiest way to go to Fengdu is to go straight up along the Wangchuan River. Those ghost cultivators who like to take shortcuts will hide on both sides of the tributaries of the Wangchuan River, specifically capturing lost souls to devour for cultivation.

After asking the ghost cultivator about the exact location of the Wangchuan River, the two looked at each other, turned around and walked towards the tributary of the Wangchuan River.

The man and the ghost continued to walk along the banks of the Wangchuan River. As expected, they encountered several waves of robbers on the road every day.

As he went along, he dealt with the ghost cultivators who blocked his way and robbed people. Those who had karmic debts were all beaten into soul beads and collected by Xuan Lingzi. Those who had no karmic debts were beaten and educated before being let go.

Not long after, a legend spread on both sides of the Wangchuan River. It was said that there was a twelfth-level ghost king and a ghost cultivator of unknown level on both sides of the Wangchuan River. They were dedicated to eliminating ghost cultivators who were burdened with sins and robbed people on the road.

This temporarily made the ghost cultivators who made a living by robbing people on both sides of the Wangchuan River much more obedient.

Not long after the man and the ghost set out, they heard a child crying in front of them.

"Let me go, I want to find my mother, let me go,"

Then a sound like being crushed by a millstone was heard, "Hahaha, your mother is in my belly right now, I'll take you to see your mother!"

Gu Lili walked forward quickly and saw two evil spirits. They were pulling the arms of a little girl who was about three or four years old, trying to tear her in half and eat her.

At this time, Xuan Lingzi had already raised the black sword in his hand and rushed forward. He struck one ghost after another with the sword and directly dispersed the two evil ghosts.

The little girl he rescued hugged Gu Lili's legs and cried.

Gu Lili had no choice but to bend down and pick up the little girl on the ground, comforting her, "Be good, don't cry. Where is your mother? Sister will take you to find her, okay?"

After the little girl was picked up by Gu Lili, she rubbed her eyes, looked at her with sobs without saying a word, pointed in a direction, and then lay on her shoulder to calm down.

The man and the ghost had no choice but to follow the direction the child pointed.

After walking for about an hour, we arrived at an ordinary ghost village by the Wangchuan River.

These villages in the ghost realm are no different from the villages in the human world, if you ignore the forever dark sky and the wisps of black negative energy visible to the naked eye surrounding the villages.

The man, the ghost and the little girl had just arrived at the village entrance when they ran into several ghost cultivators guarding the village, and they were stopped at the entrance.

Gu Lili patted the sleeping girl on her shoulder and said, "Child, are you from this village?"

Gu Lili patted the little girl on her shoulder. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked around. Before she could speak,

Several ghost cultivators stopped them, one of whom was a ghost general level ghost cultivator, and asked the little girl,

"Xiao Lingdang, when did you run away this time? If the elders knew about it, they would not put you in solitary confinement!"

When the little girl heard the ghost general's words, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled at the ghost general and said,

"Brother Huali, is it your turn to patrol again? Quickly take my two benefactors into the village to find the elders. I want to tell him that I have found someone to take me to find my mother."

Gu Lili heard this and said, "Little girl, aren't you from this village? Where is your mother?"

When Little Lingling heard her beautiful sister asking about her mother, tears welled up in her big eyes that looked like black grapes.

"Beautiful sister, I don't know where my mother is. Didn't you say you would help me find her?"

Gu Lili felt like she had shot herself in the foot and regretted that she should not have said too much.

But seeing the sad little girl who was about to cry, he couldn't bear to refuse her, so he had to comfort her again.

"Okay, your name is Xiao Lingdang, right? Be good, sister promised to help you find your mother, and I will definitely do what I said. Don't cry!"

When Xiao Lingdang heard Gu Lili's promise, she immediately burst into laughter and said, "Beautiful sister, I will take you to see the elders right now."

The ghost general whom Xiao Lingdang called Brother Hua Li immediately arranged someone to replace him, then walked up to Gu Lili and the others and led them into the village.

Before entering the village, I saw a tall building similar to a memorial archway standing at the entrance of the village, with a few black words on a white background engraved on it - Huajia Village.

Some ghosts wanted to enter the village, but they were separated by an invisible barrier. With Hua Li leading the way, Gu Lili and the other two did not encounter any obstructions and walked straight in.

The roads in the village are lined with red spider lilies and extend forward. You can vaguely see a stone bridge in front.

After crossing the stone bridge, she saw many beautifully built houses, but most of them were vacant. She knew that there were not many ghost cultivators in this village.

Led by Hua Li, the group crossed the main road of the village and came to a complex of buildings behind the village.

This complex of buildings is somewhat similar to a quadrangle courtyard. On the gate of the courtyard, there are also several large black characters engraved, which read "Hua Clan Ancestral Hall."

Hua Li first knocked gently on the door, and the ancient and heavy door opened by itself. Hua Li and his group walked directly into the door.

After passing through a long corridor, they arrived at a hall.

At the gate of the hall, there was a skinny old man with white hair standing there, waiting for a few people.

Hua Li took a few quick steps, walked up to the white-haired old man and bowed, "Junior Hua Li greets Elder Hua!"

The white-haired old man raised his hand and motioned him to stand up. "There is nothing for you to do here. Continue your duty!"

Hua Li stood up and responded, then turned around and walked back in the direction he came from without looking around.

Gu Lili was already sending a message to Xuan Lingzi.

"Master, what is the level of this old man's cultivation? Why can't I detect any soul power or spiritual power in him? He looks just like an ordinary person?"

Xuan Lingzi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he sent a message to Gu Lili,

“I, the master, cannot see through this old man’s cultivation, but seeing that his spirit and soul are as solid as those of an ordinary person, his realm is at least above that of the Ghost Emperor.”

Just as the two were guessing about the old man's cultivation, the old man suddenly said to them, "Fairy and Taoist friend, please come in."

Gu Lili was shocked. It was over. She was exposed!
