On regular days, this mighty figure from the Purple Mansion never bothered with those servant ghosts, nor did they issue commands to them.

But now... the first command had emerged.

"If you discover that any Elder exhibits unusual behavior, or their power surges rapidly, plant a Soul Pursuit Insect on them.

Also... follow my instructions, and seize the opportunity to kill after the Hidden Dragon Association.

Among these people, there might be someone... considered a seasoned monster.

You’re no match for them.

However, as long as you find him, prevent his passage through the Ancient Teleportation Array to the Northern Land, that will suffice.

Heading to the Northern Land is his only escape route.

How could I possibly let him accomplish that?"

The Elders among the scout ghosts of each sect nodded repeatedly.

After a while, that being in the Purple Mansion, through a subjugated voice, began asking questions like, "If you combine all your strength, can you destroy that Ancient Teleportation Array?"

But the answers were all "Probably not."

Because currently, that Ancient Teleportation Array, being a strategic array of the Ancient Country, is guarded in turns by the Purple Mansion cultivators of the Ancient Country.

It’s akin to a General guarding a pass.

That "teleportation array" is their "pass."

As long as the Purple Mansion cultivators are present, how could the pass be broken?

...

...

Song Yan tossed and turned on the stone bed.

His gaze fixated on the empty darkness, he pondered from time to time.

He knew that his current enemy was a "terrifying monster born from the Sea of Suffering," the one most familiar with human hearts and best at stirring up human desires.

Now, through the four Evil Pearls on his Divine Soul, he could feel the opponent approaching with all their might.

Luckily, to cross the Desolate Wilderness and reach here in the Southern Land would still require time.

The adversary’s attention was completely locked on him.

And the opponent’s methods?

"Purple Mansion’s thralls..."

"Servant ghosts..."

Having assimilated five-ninths of the Changwang Tiger Race’s Demon Monk, naturally, he also possessed the power of a "servant ghost."

"If he instructed the servant ghosts to seize bodies, over this century, probably quite a few among the servant ghosts have already stepped into the Crimson Palace Realm, perhaps even within the Mo Sword Sect."

"Who knows how they will take action?"

Contemplating for a while, Song Yan devised a plan.

"Since the Hidden Dragon Association is for selecting talents from the Ancient Races, then... I’ll first find out which Ancient Races are present."

"If the Formless Ancient Race is among them, perhaps... I can attempt a new path."

"Although I cannot mimic high-level magic, the Refining Profound Level is still within my grasp, and with the Formless Mask, it’ll be enough to prove my identity."
