Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Beidou Secret Realm, within a dense forest.

A figure darted through the treetops, wearing a hooded black robe with the hood pulled low, obscuring his face in shadow.

This person was Zhou Haochen, heading to the Beidou Secret Realm for a rendezvous.

After traversing the dense forest for a quarter of an hour, Zhou Haochen finally arrived at his destination.

A secluded cave, located on the edge of the Beidou Secret Realm, far from the Yaoguang and Kaiyang Towers, rarely visited by anyone.

Entering the dark and damp cave, two figures in black robes came into Zhou Haochen's view.

These two were dressed almost exactly like Zhou Haochen.

An outsider might have mistaken them for twins' attire.

"Jiachen, how was Madam Shen? Was she juicy enough?" A slightly excited voice suddenly echoed in the cave.

Zhou Haochen immediately recognized this voice.

It was Bingwu!

After all, in the Thousand Mile Messaging group, Bingwu had lusted after Madam Shen's body more than once.

Yi Si, on the other hand, wasn't very interested in Madam Shen.

From the two men's views on this matter, one could see the huge difference in Bingwu and Yi Si's preferences.

Yi Si liked young and tender girls, while Bingwu's tastes were more varied.

"Hehe—Bingwu, do you know the biggest difference between a married woman and a maiden?"

"Married women are very skilled!"

"Heh heh heh heh—"

Bingwu understood immediately and laughed lewdly.

Yi Si rolled his eyes when he heard the two of them telling obscene jokes so unscrupulously, and snorted coldly, revealing a faint contempt.

While exchanging pleasantries with Bingwu, Zhou Haochen secretly observed Yi Si and Bingwu.

Bingwu had nothing special about him, other than being a bit lecherous; otherwise, he was quite ordinary.

On the contrary, the taciturn Yi Si had a steady aura, giving Zhou Haochen a slight pressure.

"Hidden his strength?"

Zhou Haochen secretly guessed that Yi Si's strength should be much higher than Bingwu's, and also much higher than the real Jiachen who died in his hands.

【Kui Niu: Have you three arrived yet?】

【Jiachen: Arrived.】

【Yi Si: We're all here.】

【Bingwu: Waiting for you, Boss.】

【Kui Niu: Very good, I'll be there soon.】

"Thank you for your promotion, Boss!" The three of them flattered him.

Kui Niu led Zhou Haochen and the other two northward, quick-marching for half an hour before gradually slowing down.

"Let me tell you about tonight's target!" Kui Niu slowed his pace and said in a deep voice, "Tonight's target is a ghost in the valley ahead."

"I will attack later, and you will set up a formation to suppress the ghost."

Suppress the ghost?

Hearing Kui Niu's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Haochen's eyes.

There are ghosts in the Beidou Secret Realm?

That's a rarity!

In a secret realm like the Beidou Secret Realm, which has been deeply developed, generally speaking, there would be no ghosts.

Could it be that the Beidou Secret Realm has been abandoned for too long and a ghost has been born again?

Just as Zhou Haochen was wondering, Bingwu asked very considerately.

"Ghost!"

"Boss, how can there be ghosts in the Beidou Secret Realm?"

Hearing this, Kui Niu pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice.

"This matter concerns a secret, and you wouldn't normally be qualified to know it."

"However, in order to complete tonight's task, I will tell you about it."

"Remember, this secret must not be leaked."

The three nodded repeatedly, as well-behaved as good babies.

Indeed, all people have the desire to reveal secrets.

Even cultivators are no exception.

Under the night, Kui Niu narrated slowly.

"Do you know why the Beidou Secret Realm was sealed?"

"Boss, don't keep us in suspense, you're making me itchy." Bingwu had a talent for playing the foil, cooperating with Kui Niu in a call and response.

"I'm telling you, the reason involves a scandal of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Before Emperor Jinwen died, he regarded the Beidou Secret Realm as the location of his mausoleum."

Hearing this, Yi Si and Bingwu's faces showed shock.

Zhou Haochen also cooperated very well. Although he already knew about Emperor Jinwen's mausoleum, he still exaggeratedly showed a surprised expression.

Kui Niu cleared his throat and continued.

"In order to build his mausoleum, Emperor Jinwen mobilized millions of laborers, countless of whom died tragically in the Beidou Secret Realm."

"The valley ahead is a mass grave, and the ghost is formed from the resentment of the laborers and craftsmen."

"Boss, you are truly knowledgeable, even such secret news has been thoroughly investigated by you."

As soon as Kui Niu finished speaking, Bingwu's flattery immediately rang out.

The speed was so fast and the reaction so timely, as if it had been prepared in advance.

Although Bingwu's flattery was not of a high standard, it made Kui Niu feel comfortable, like eating iced watermelon on a hot summer day.

Kui Niu waved his hand and said: "This secret was also told to me by Master."

"Tonight's action was personally arranged by Master and involves Master's grand plan, you must not make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, Boss, we will definitely do our best!" The three said in unison.

"Take these three formation plates. When I restrain the ghost, you will set up the Three Talents Soul Extinguishing Formation."

Kui Niu handed the three formation plates to Zhou Haochen and the other two.

The three formation plates corresponded exactly to the three talents of heaven, earth, and man, which were the key to setting up the Three Talents Soul Extinguishing Formation.

After distributing the formation plates, Kui Niu shouted sharply.

"Go, enter the valley!"

After entering the valley, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

A chilling wind blew, causing Zhou Haochen's hair to stand on end.

Not long after the four of them entered the valley, they suddenly heard a ghostly wail.

This ghostly wail was extremely sharp, as if it wanted to drill into everyone's minds and shatter their souls.

Zhou Haochen quickly circulated his Visualization Technique to resist the ghost's wail.

Before the ghostly wail had even subsided, a ghostly figure rushed towards the four of them.

"Hmph—good timing!"

Kui Niu snorted coldly, stepped forward with a stride, and directly迎上了去.

Putting everything else aside, Kui Niu's size was quite reassuring.

When something happened, he really stepped up!

He even personally took the lead, not shrinking back.

As soon as Kui Niu and the ghost exchanged blows, they entered a frenzied state.

His cultivation at the seventh realm was fully unleashed, and every move he made carried immense power.

The terrifying force swept out, and even from dozens of feet away, Zhou Haochen's face stung from the wind.

The aftermath of the battle between the man and the ghost spread out, shattering mountains and splitting rocks, with chaotic stones piercing the sky.

Zhou Haochen felt Kui Niu's cultivation and sighed inwardly.

"Peak of the seventh realm, if it weren't for the limitations of the Big Dipper Secret Realm, preventing those at the eighth realm and above from entering, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Kui Niu at the peak of the seventh realm participating in tonight's operation!"

Just as Zhou Haochen was observing the battle between Kui Niu and the ghost, Bingwu urged him in his ear.

"Jiachen, are you scared by the boss's martial arts?"

"Stop spacing out, quickly set up the formation!"

"Bingwu, the boss is in the middle of a great battle, he can't hear your flattery."

"What do you know, this is called workplace wisdom!"

Zhou Haochen and the other two stood in a triangular formation and began to set up the Three Talents Soul-Extinguishing Grand Formation.

While setting up the formation, Zhou Haochen muttered to himself.

Based on Kui Niu's words, he guessed that someone of Kui Niu's level should be able to come into contact with the leader who possessed the Xuanyuan bloodline.

If he wanted to come into contact with the Xuanyuan bloodline, the best way was to replace Kui Niu.

At the very least, searching Kui Niu's soul would definitely reveal a lot of information about the Xuanyuan bloodline.

Zhou Haochen pondered in his heart, and after pondering for a long time, he concluded that he couldn't let the formation be set up to suppress the ghost.

Only when the ghost and Kui Niu were both severely injured would he have a chance to capture Kui Niu.

Zhou Haochen set up the formation while preparing a sneak attack plan.

Without a doubt, the closest to success was also the time when defenses were at their lowest, making it the best time for a sneak attack.

Kui Niu, Yisi, Bingwu…

Zhou Haochen's gaze swept over the three of them, finally landing on Bingwu.

Bingwu was chosen as his first target to sacrifice to the heavens.

It's better to break one finger than to injure all ten.

Bingwu was the weakest, so naturally, he would start with him.

A quarter of an hour later, the formation was complete.

"Boss, the formation is set up!" Bingwu shouted.

Kui Niu, who was fiercely fighting the ghost, immediately shouted sharply.

"Activate the formation!"

With a buzzing sound!

Three white pillars of light erupted from the three formation plates.

The positions of the three pillars of light formed an equilateral triangle, enveloping the ghost within it.

The ghost seemed to sense something was wrong and roared uneasily, wanting to leave, but Kui Niu held it back tightly.

Immediately afterward, white light screens erupted from the three pillars of light, enveloping the entire valley.

"Suppress it for me!"

Kui Niu took out a small flag and waved it in his hand.

A terrifying pressure erupted from the Three Talents Soul-Extinguishing Grand Formation, and the white spiritual light bombarded the ghost, instantly emitting billowing black smoke, mixed with the ghost's miserable screams.

Watching Kui Niu suppress the ghost in mid-air with the help of the formation.

Zhou Haochen calculated silently in his heart and began to make small movements, slightly shifting the position of the formation plate to the left by an inch.

The formation had very strict requirements for the position of the formation plates.

Don't underestimate shifting it to the left by just an inch, it had a great impact on the grand formation.

"Binghuo, there's a problem with my formation plate, please help me."

Binghuo heard Zhou Haochen's anxious voice and spat out in his mouth.

"Damn it, Jiachen, were you sucked dry by Madam Shen? You're dropping the ball at a critical moment."

Although Bingwu was complaining, he was secretly overjoyed.

Previously, Jiachen had always been Kui Niu's number one confidant.

Even good things like taking over the Relief Center were entrusted to Jiachen.

Today, Jiachen was ineffective, wouldn't that just highlight his, Bingwu's, excellence?

If he could help Jiachen fix the formation, he could show off in front of the boss.

Bingwu didn't think much about it and put down the formation plate in his hand, walking towards Zhou Haochen's side, intending to help.

"Jiachen, the position of your formation plate is wrong."

"How can you not even know such a basic…"

Before Bingwu could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a pitch-black dragon claw reaching towards his chest.

In an instant, the pitch-black dragon claw pierced through Bingwu's chest, crushing his heart into pieces.

Two screams suddenly rang out in the night!

Two?

Huh?

What's going on?

Kui Niu is dead?

Zhou Haochen suddenly looked up and saw Kui Niu in mid-air turned into an ice sculpture.

The person who made the move was Yisi.

The two screams just now came from Kui Niu and Bingwu respectively.

Zhou Haochen and Yisi exchanged glances.

The air was filled with a deathly silence.

After a moment of silence.

"You're a traitor?"

"You're a traitor?"

"You're also a traitor?"

"You're also a traitor?"

"You speak first!"

"You speak first!"

The words spoken by the two were exactly the same, like a mirror image.

In an instant, the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
