Chapter 390

"Big Brother, do you want to buy candied hawthorn?"

It was a little girl in red. She smiled innocently and raised the candied hawthorn in her hand.

When Gu Chen saw her, it was as if he had seen a snake or scorpion. He subconsciously took a few steps back!

He had a deep impression of this little girl. The last time he returned to the Ghastly Ruins, he had been scared quite a bit by her.

She was different from the other souls. She would take the initiative to talk to him.

When he first met her in the Ghastly Ruins, Gu Chen chased her away, thinking that she had disappeared. Later on, his shoulder was sore all the way. When he turned around, he realized that she had been sitting on his shoulder the whole time, and he had not noticed it at all.

This little girl was too strange. She left a deep impression on Gu Chen, and he instinctively retreated!

Even White Ape had been scared quite a bit by her last time. He bared his teeth!

"Get lost!"

The Ghost King scolded the little girl with a murderous look.

Previously, when the souls were scolded by the Ghost King, they would immediately flee in panic. However, this little girl was different.

"Hehehe, this uncle is so scary, so scary …"

She actually flew toward the Ghost King. Her lower body had no legs, and she was like a wisp of smoke.

"Get lost! Get lost! "

The Ghost King was shocked. He tried to teach her a lesson, but he could not touch her at all.

"She is indeed not simple."

Gu Chen took a deep breath. Even the Ghost King could not do anything to her. Where did this little girl come from?

"Big Brother, do you want to buy candied hawthorn?"

After teasing the Ghost King for a while, the little girl in red seemed to be bored. She floated in front of Gu Chen and raised the candied hawthorn in her hand.

Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, but when she raised her head, it suddenly rotted. Maggots were moving in and out of her eye sockets.

Gu Chen suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly. "Big Brother can buy candied hawthorn. You can buy as many as you have, but can you bring me to see the Ghost Emperor?"

This little girl was very extraordinary. She seemed to have existed in the Ghastly Ruins for a very long time. Gu Chen was desperate. He hoped that she could help him find the Ghost Emperor.

"It's not fun."

The little girl saw that Gu Chen was not shocked when he saw her face change. She actually recovered her delicate face and looked disappointed.

"Not fun, not fun at all."

She floated away in the blink of an eye and disappeared around the corner.

"Can't I …?"

Gu Chen was slightly disappointed. He thought that the little girl could understand him.

"It's useless. Although that female ghost is a bit special, the souls in the Ghastly Ruins have been around for too long. Their self-consciousness has long since died. They have no intelligence, so they can't help you."

When the little girl left, the Ghost King actually heaved a sigh of relief.

He was a member of the Ghost Race, yet there were times when he was afraid of ghosts just like the human race.

Gu Chen's heart was heavy. He really didn't know how he could meet the Ghost Emperor.

"Jiji!"

White Ape suddenly shouted and pointed to the corner of the street.

There, the red-clothed girl who had left earlier poked her head out and glanced at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's face lit up and he hurriedly followed!

"Hey, wait!"

The Ghost King hurriedly followed behind.

He saw the little girl flashing around several street corners in front of him. Gu Chen followed closely behind her all the way to the tallest Buddha Tower in the city.

"It's here."

Gu Chen looked at the dilapidated tower in surprise. When he first entered the Ghastly Ruins, he had cultivated here for a period of time. It was here that he broke through to the Transcendent Realm and became a cultivator, so he had a deep impression of this place.

The little girl entered the tower like a ghost. However, she did not go upstairs like Gu Chen did in the past. Instead, she flashed and disappeared into a corner of the first floor.

Gu Chen and the Ghost King looked at each other. When they reached the place, they felt a slight fluctuation in the space.

"There's something special about this place."

The two of them took a deep breath. Without thinking too much, they stepped inside!

Hum —

After a moment of dizziness, they disappeared from the tower. When they reappeared, they were already underground.

And in front of them, there seemed to be an underground river. Monstrous Yin Qi surged towards them!

The sound of water splashing could be heard clearly from far away. However, when they were in the Ghastly Ruins, they did not notice it at all.

"There's actually such a place in the Ghastly Ruins."

The Ghost King felt that the Yin Qi here was ten times, maybe even a hundred times thicker than in the Ghastly Ruins. He was extremely shocked.

Gu Chen walked forward and saw the little girl walking towards the edge of the underground river.

When they reached the underground river and saw the appearance of the river, Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed.

Even the Ghost King could not help but gasp a few times!

The river was a muddy yellow, and there were countless corpses floating in it, flowing endlessly.

The clothes of the corpses were very simple, as if they had been soaked in the river for countless years.

Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. He recalled the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood when he first came to the Ghastly Ruins through the copper door of the blood pool.

The illusion he saw when he came into contact with the copper door was actually quite similar to this place!

"What is this place?"

Gu Chen and the Ghost King walked along the underground river. There were too many corpses in the river. They were so densely packed that it was impossible to count them.

Some of these corpses were humans wearing ancient clothes. Some of them looked strange. They did not seem to belong to any of the five major tribes of the continent. Regardless of which tribe they belonged to, they seemed to have experienced a tragic war before they died. Their bodies were covered with countless knife marks and arrow holes.

Not only were there corpses and bones floating in the river, but there were also a large number of broken weapons.

Out of curiosity, White Ape tried to get close to the river and carefully picked up a broken weapon floating in the river.

This weapon did not look like any weapon in the Kunlun Continent. When White Ape took it out, it immediately rusted and turned into ashes.

White Ape tried a few times, but it was the same every time. These weapons seemed to be too ancient. They only existed because of the special nature of the river. Once they left the river, they would be completely destroyed.

"A long time ago, was there a war here? Who were the two sides of the war? "

Gu Chen's heart trembled. The scene here was too tragic. The origin of these corpses was too strange. It made one's imagination run wild.

"Could this place be the legendary Yellow Spring?"

Ghost King pondered for a long time. He took a deep breath and said.

"Rumor has it that when the Ghost Emperor founded the dark force, he named it Yellow Spring Tower because there was a real Yellow Spring. It is said that this Yellow Spring is the entrance to hell. Our ghost race has heard of it for generations, but no one has ever seen it. "

"It actually exists!"

Ghost King's heart was in turmoil. He recalled all kinds of rumors about the Yellow Spring.

Gu Chen did not say anything. He knew nothing about the ghost race's myths. Soon, they arrived near the middle of the river and found an ancient stone tablet.

The stone tablet was engraved with a language that neither of them could understand. It was different from the human language that was commonly used in the Kunlun Continent. It was also different from the language of the major tribes.

After looking at the words on the stone tablet for a long time, even with their Human King Realm cultivation, they still felt a little dizzy!

"Roar —"

"Hehehe."

Suddenly, strange roars came from the dark upstream of the Yellow Spring, accompanied by the laughter of a little girl.

It seemed that the little girl had run into this place to play and alarmed some special existence.

"Splash."
