CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 93: GHOST KING REFINES THE SOUL KING CAULDRON

"Give me your Echo Bracelet." Xiu Yingmei suddenly reached out.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Guan took off the Echo Bracelet and handed it to Xiu Yingmei.

"Wait for me here for a while, if anything happens here, just teleport yourself out, I’ll have my own way to escape." Xiu Yingmei said and left without waiting for Chen Guan’s response.

Chen Guan watched the direction she went, it seemed she was going back to that hotel, not sure what she was trying to do.

Seeing that there were no issues at the teleportation station, Reincarnation City wouldn’t close it for now.

After a short wait, Xiu Yingmei returned and then took Chen Guan directly into the teleportation station.

There were also people monitoring at the teleportation station, but they couldn’t imagine someone had already entered the city, and there were two women, so no one noticed anything wrong.

Chen Guan and Xiu Yingmei smoothly left the Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land, and Xiu Yingmei directly took Chen Guan to the Celestial Court Army branch there.

"If there’s nothing else, I want to go home first." Chen Guan didn’t know what Xiu Yingmei meant, secretly wondering: "Could it be that Xiu Yingmei found out something? Or does she want to take my remaining Secret Spirit Eggs as well?"

Chen Guan had already let Ming Fei sense these Secret Spirit Eggs, except for the first Secret Spirit Egg and that blue one, the quality of the other Secret Spirit Eggs wasn’t very good.

The blue one wasn’t as good as the one Chen Guan first got.

The reason Chen Guan went through so much trouble to bring out the Secret Spirit Egg was because he suspected it might truly contain the child of a Secret God, and it absolutely could not be snatched by others.

"You’ll find out in a little while." Xiu Yingmei didn’t explain, leading Chen Guan to a secret room, then took out her Echo Bracelet.

A clear voice immediately came out from the Echo Bracelet: "It’s not suitable to place it here, we need to find another place."

Chen Guan recognized it at once; it was Wang Lian’s voice.

"How did you do it?" Chen Guan looked at Xiu Yingmei with some surprise.

He knew another Echo Bracelet could be used for eavesdropping, Xiu Yingmei had previously used it to eavesdrop on him.

But how did Xiu Yingmei place the Echo Bracelet under Wang Ying’s watchful eyes for eavesdropping on Wang Lian? Where exactly did she place the Echo Bracelet?

It shouldn’t be in a fixed location because in such a short time, Xiu Yingmei couldn’t have known where Wang Lian and the others would be staying for long within the hotel.

If it was placed on Wang Lian, that would be too difficult. Chen Guan really couldn’t imagine how Xiu Yingmei managed it.

"Listen to them speak." Xiu Yingmei didn’t seem to want to explain.

Chen Guan could only listen to their conversation. From the change in the volume, it could be discerned that the object was definitely on Wang Lian; otherwise, it wouldn’t capture sound so effectively.

Wang Ying and the others should be nearby, and it seemed they were digging, but not to unearth something, rather to place something.

From the conversation, it wasn’t clear what they wanted to place, only that it seemed like something very important.

"That’s enough, this is the perfect spot. Let’s bury the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts here." After listening for a while, they finally heard Wang Lian mention what they intended to bury.

Then there was a sound of shoveling and burying something, followed quickly by Wang Ying’s voice: "It’s done, meticulously repair the surface. Don’t let anyone notice any flaws. Also, this room must be sealed off; don’t let anyone move in."

"Why not just shut down the hotel operations, wouldn’t that be simpler?" an unfamiliar voice suggested.

"No, that would draw attention, and it would be bad if the people of Reincarnation City noticed something. Just leave someone to guard the room, and let everyone else go about their own business," Wang Ying replied.

The two of them listened for a while but didn’t hear any more useful information. Wang Ying and Wang Lian led people out of the hotel to snatch Secret Spirit Eggs.

"Why do you think they’re wasting such precious time burying something like the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts by the hotel next to the teleportation station? Do you know what the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts is?" Chen Guan pondered and asked.

"Of course I know, the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts is a valuable item. Especially in a Secret Realm like the Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land, the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts is practically a cheat." Xiu Yingmei said with a smile.

"A cheat? Is it that powerful?" Chen Guan was a bit shocked.

"The Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts is an Unparalleled Secret Treasure. Although it’s only a level 10 Unparalleled Secret Treasure, its function is still very useful even during the Second and Third Awakenings."

"That object can release a type of pheromone that humans or typical Secret Spirits cannot perceive, but Ghost Type Secret Spirits can sense these pheromones and will be irresistibly attracted to where the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts is located. At that point, Ghost Type Secret Spirits act like brainless zombies, indiscriminately attacking all living things near the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts."

"This attraction is effective even on Second and Third Awakening Ghost Type Secret Spirits, although the effect isn’t as strong; it can still lure Secret Spirits over. In the past, people used the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts to attract Secret Spirits for slaying, saving themselves the trouble of finding them—it’s essentially a lure for Secret Spirits."

"Do Wang Lian and the others want to attract Ghost Type Secret Spirits to destroy Reincarnation City? What grudge do they have with Reincarnation City?" Chen Guan was shocked.

But Xiu Yingmei shook her head and said, "They shouldn’t be targeting Reincarnation City, because the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts, after all, is only a level 10 Secret Treasure, and the range of pheromone transmission is limited. It surely won’t reach beyond Reincarnation City, and even if it could, it would only attract some nearby Ghost Type Secret Spirits, which would not pose a threat to Reincarnation. Plus, activating the Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts takes time to cultivate enough pheromones."

"Then why are they placing the vessel in the hotel? Are they targeting the teleportation station? But there aren’t any Ghost Type Secret Spirits near the teleportation station." Chen Guan speculated.

Xiu Yingmei couldn’t figure out what Wang Lian and the others were up to, so the two of them continued to monitor the sounds from Wang Lian, hoping to gain more useful intel from their conversation.

"I’ll change my clothes first." Chen Guan went to the side room, changing out of his women’s clothes back into his own attire, and removed the makeup from his face.

"I’ll have someone clean your clothes before returning them to you..." Chen Guan’s words were interrupted by Xiu Yingmei.

Xiu Yingmei made a silencing gesture, and they heard Wang Lian’s voice coming through the Echo Bracelet: "The Soul King Vessel of Ten Thousand Ghosts has almost gathered enough pheromones, it can be activated at any time. If Chen Guan wants to teleport out of here, he will be caught in his own trap."

"They will definitely come through here; Ji Nanhong and the Celestial Court Army people will also enter through here. Should we capture them all in one sweep?" someone next to them said.

"Are you dreaming? Ji Nanhong’s side has Third Awakening Cultivators, the Soul King Vessel’s effect isn’t strong on Third Awakening Cultivators," Wang Lian immediately dismissed the idea: "I only need to gather Chen Guan’s soul, the rest shouldn’t be bothered with, and we mustn’t alert anyone unnecessarily."
