Chapter 210: The Art of Phantom Spirit

Xu Yang raised his hand, and two golden spiritual ginseng appeared on the ground in front of the three people.

The roots of the two ginseng plants were as lush as a net, and the surface was shimmering with a faint golden halo. They were the high-quality spiritual ginsengs that Xu Yang had bought in the market before.

Then, he took out a round bronze ancient mirror.

He activated the magic formula and pointed the mirror at the two spiritual ginsengs. Two white lights were sprinkled on the mirror.

Suddenly, colorful lights swirled out of the seemingly ordinary ginseng plants, and the ginseng plants twisted and gradually turned into human forms.

After a while, two clones with the same appearance and clothes as Xiao Hongzhu appeared in front of them.

Being able to use the magic mirror to conjure up two clones at the same time, it can be seen that Xu Yang's mental power is much stronger than before.

Xiao Hongzhu looked curious, walked over to carefully examine the two clones, and stretched out her small jade hand to pinch the clones' arms.

There was disbelief in her eyes, and she murmured to herself, "She's as beautiful as me."

"What do you think, Brother Xiaoxian, I still have a way." Xu Yang said confidently.

"Do you want to use them to divert the people chasing behind?" Xiao Hongzhu's eyes showed pity and reluctance.

"Yes, but you don't have to worry, they are just lifeless prostheses, and the real body is just ordinary ginseng grass."

"The spiritual power fluctuations on this prosthetic clone are actually the same as Xiao Hongzhu's, which makes it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake." After carefully exploring with spiritual sense, Mu Jin was also surprised.

"It seems that something is missing?" Xu Yang looked at the two clones and said thoughtfully.

"Is it this?" Mu Jin took out the blue sachet.

"Yes! This is it, Mu Jin is smarter." Xu Yang praised.

Next, Mu Jin sprinkled the scented powder in the sachet on the clothes of the two clones.

"You two run away separately." Xu Yang pointed at the clones in front of him and ordered.

The two clones blinked their eyes, and their expressions were very similar to Xiao Hongzhu. They turned around and ran away separately.

"Give me the sachet in your hand." Xu Yang looked at Mu Jin and said with a smile.

"Here."

Mu Jin handed the sachet to Xu Yang.

"These two clones must be controlled by my mental power to act. With my current mental power, I can control them within a range of ten miles at most. So, we should be careful next time."

"Brother Xiaoxian, you really have a way."

The two ginseng grass clones disappeared in different directions in the distance, and the three continued to escape in another direction.

...

In the woods, two blue figures were running fast.

They were the two people from Youji Palace who were chasing Hongzhu, Yin Feng and Luo Yu. Soon, the two came to the place where Xu Yang and the other two had just left.

"Wait, how come the target has become three here? It's really a bit difficult." Yin Feng touched his hooked nose and stopped chasing.

"It would be surprising if we could catch her so easily. After all, she was a big shot that we didn't even have the qualifications to look up to. She must have some clever tricks." Luo Yu on the side didn't think so.

"A-choo!"

Yin Feng sneezed and said angrily, "It's that disgusting smell of cheap perfume powder again."

"One of the targets is still with the two people from before, and the other two targets are acting alone. Which side should we chase?"

Yin Feng said, shaking his head helplessly, looking at Luo Yu, hoping that Luo Yu could make a calmer judgment.

"Now there are three targets, and there are only two of us. Calculating the time, she is now in the worst state of ability, and her level of cultivation should be in the Void Transformation Realm. She is in the Void Transformation Realm and it is extremely dangerous to face the ghost beasts here alone. Therefore, it is normal to judge that she should be with the two people who are in contact with her to be safer." Luo Yu, who was wearing a blue shirt, analyzed the current situation expressionlessly.

Yin Feng on the side nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, let's go after the three people's target."

Luo Yu did not express her opinion immediately. She reached out and pinned a strand of long hair on the side of her face behind her ear again, and fixed the hairpin behind her head again. Meticulous, neat, a pair of beautiful eyes as clear as a mirror lake, revealing a convincing calmness.

Then he continued: "But, if there are more than two people here to meet her. These two people are just a decoy, with a fake target, and the real person who will meet her will appear later. It will be a more clever escape plan."

"Your words seem to make more sense, which is in line with her previous identity. Do you mean that we ignore the targets of the three people and go after the two separate targets separately?"

"No, we continue to chase the targets of the three people." But Luo Yu gave a judgment that was completely opposite to his own analysis.

"Why is that?" Yin Feng looked confused.

"Hide your clumsiness and surprise her is her best choice. If it were me, I would choose to go with those two." Luo Yu said confidently.

A breeze passed by, lightly lifting the hem of her blue skirt, but it couldn't lift her neatly pinned hair, let alone the confidence and calmness in her eyes.

"Great!"

Yin Feng stared at Luo Yu with admiration, and gave a thumbs up.

"Lead the way."

Yin Feng twisted his nose, looked at the direction where Xu Yang and the other two left, and showed a proud expression.

"Follow me."

After saying that, he turned into a blue shadow and disappeared on the spot, followed by Luo Yu.

...

The fleeing Xu Yang and the other two.

“Dudu!”

The call of the black listening insect came out from the small bamboo cage on Hongzhu’s waist again.

“Oh, these two people are catching up again.” Xiao Hongzhu said.

“The two clones I released before did not disappear. It seems that they should have a secret method to track, or they bet on the right direction.” Xu Yang said.

“Then what should we do?” Mu Jin said.

“It seems that the only solution is to use force.” Xu Yang said.

“But their goal is to hunt down Xiao Hongzhu, not you and me. If the other party is two True Dan realm cultivators, it may be difficult for the two of us to guarantee Xiao Hongzhu’s safety in the fierce battle.” Mu Jin said, looking at Xiao Hongzhu with a worried look in his eyes.

“Xiao Hongzhu, do you know the general situation of the two people chasing you behind you?” Xu Yang asked.

After all, knowing yourself and the enemy can make the best judgment.

"These two people were sent by the Netherworld Palace. One is called Yin Feng and the other is called Luo Yu. After I entered here, the two of them have been following behind, waiting for the best time to attack. The cultivation bases of the two of them are at the peak of the True Dan Realm, and they are also the best among the True Dan Realm cultivators in the Netherworld. Among them, Yin Feng is good at capturing auras..." Xiao Hongzhu replied.

"In that case, it is indeed disadvantageous for us to fight with these two people head-on. Why don't we do this..."

...

Yin Feng and Luo Yu in pursuit.

"We are getting closer and closer to the target. I don't know why the three people including the target seem to have stopped moving?" Yin Feng said.

"Since those two are the people who were arranged here in advance to meet, their cultivation bases must also be in the True Dan Realm. Be prepared to use force." Luo Yu said.

After an incense stick of time.

From a distance, the two saw three people on the opposite side, and Yin Feng recognized Hong Zhu at a glance.

"As you expected, she is here. But she seems to be tied up by the other two. Could it be that these two people, seeing that they can't escape, are turning around to sell out their master for glory?" Yin Feng said.

"Look carefully, the two people beside her are not from the Netherworld at all. The spiritual power fluctuations on them are completely different from ours. It is said that this forgotten land is used as a trial space by the Tiangui Sect of Zhongyuan Realm, and they enter this place to kill the Nether Beast. These two people should be from the Tiangui Sect of Zhongyuan Realm." Luo Yu said, and her face, which had always been as cold as ice, turned red with embarrassment.

Her previous calm judgment was wrong. The two people beside Hongzhu were not from the Netherworld who sneaked into this place in advance to meet her.

"People from the Tiangui Sect of Zhongyuan Realm? It is said that this forgotten land was originally a piece of space cut from the Netherworld by the founder of the Tiangui Sect with a sword. In addition to exiling prisoners here and letting them fend for themselves, our Netherworld has never had any contact or friction with these people from Zhongyuan Realm."

"Let's go and take a look first. It seems that these two people are only at the Peiyuan Realm. It would be better if there is no need to take action, so as not to cause misunderstandings between the two interfaces. If a war between the interfaces occurs, it is not in the interests of our Netherworld Palace." Luo Yu reminded calmly.

After a while, the two came in front of Xu Yang and the other two.

At this time, Xiao Hongzhu was tied up tightly with a black soul-binding lock, and a silence talisman was pasted on her mouth.

Looking at the two people opposite, she shook her head repeatedly in fear, unable to make any sound.

"Why did you tie her up?" Yin Feng shouted loudly.

"Are you human or ghost beast?" Xu Yang asked back.

Yin Feng's face turned cold when he heard it, and with a clang, the long sword behind him was unsheathed and held tightly in his hand.

"Have you ever seen a ghost beast using a sword?" Yin Feng said coldly.

"First time." Xu Yang replied.

"Looking for death!"

Yin Feng was about to attack, but Luo Yu on the side reached out to stop him.

With a cold snort, he put the long sword back into the scabbard behind him.

"We are from the Ghost Realm Ghost Palace, an organization in the Ghost Realm that is specifically responsible for arresting criminals. You two are disciples of the Tiangui Sect of the Zhongyuan Realm, right?" Luo Yu asked.

"So she is from the Netherworld. I'm sorry. We are disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. We are undergoing trials in this evil ghost road under the order of the sect." Xu Yang replied.

"Do you know who the person you tied up is?" Luo Yu continued to ask.

"The person who looks like this little girl? She attacked us without explanation when she saw us. We thought she was a Nether Beast in human form, but we were not sure. So, we tied her up. We are going to send her back to listen to the elders of the sect." Xu Yang explained.

"She is not a Nether Beast, but an important prisoner in the Netherworld. After being exiled to this forgotten land, we want to capture her and verify other cases related to her. Hand her over to us."

"So she is a prisoner from the Netherworld. Well, we thought she was a Nether Beast. She is here, you can take her away and save us the trouble."

Xu Yang said, pushing Xiao Hongzhu over.

Luo Yu grabbed the tied Xiao Hongzhu.

Yin Feng and Luo Yu carefully identified her and confirmed that it was Hongzhu herself.

The two nodded in satisfaction, without even saying thank you, grabbed the small red candle, turned around and flew away.
