Chapter 939 A Disappointing Visit

Longying's gaze fell on the woman who led the Ghost Cult, and a look of humility was revealed in her eyes.

She spoke carefully, her voice slightly low and with a hint of awe, "I know the witch."

Her tone was full of respect, as if she was referring to a respected and awe-inspiring being.

The female leader of the Ghost Cult narrowed her eyes slightly and looked Longying up and down, as if evaluating the truthfulness of her words.

Her expression was cold and serious, without any emotion, except for a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes.

But at the same time, when her eyes fell on the famous Fang Mo Fang Tiankuo, she trembled and seemed to take a step back instinctively.

Longying felt the other party's scrutiny, and she couldn't help but lower her head slightly, not looking at her, as if she was unwilling to put pressure on her.

At this moment, the woman in the lead clenched her hands nervously, her fingers twisting restlessly. She didn't know what to do next.

If the woman in front of me doesn’t know the witch, can I and the people behind me stop her?

Don't forget, behind this woman is a devil known to everyone in the sky.

The atmosphere around them became tense and depressing, as if an invisible pressure was looming over the woman in the lead.

Longying naturally also felt the pressure from Fang Tiankuo. She took a deep breath helplessly, calmed herself down, and then said, "The ghost woman... her reputation is well-known in the world. I have always been in awe of her. I am fortunate to meet her today. It is a great honor."

Longying's words revealed her respect for the ghost woman, and she hoped that by expressing herself in this way, she could win her trust.

Naturally, Longying would not be stupid enough to directly explain the main timeline to the other party. Not to mention whether they knew about the existence of people in the time world, even if they knew, would they believe that they really came from another timeline?

It’s hard to say, so to be on the safe side, I’d better lie.

The woman leading the Ghost Cult remained silent, but there seemed to be a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes.

Longying waited quietly, feeling uneasy, not knowing whether she could see the ghost woman.

After a moment, the woman sighed and nodded, "Come with me, but you may be disappointed."

When Longying heard this, she immediately didn't understand what the other party meant. She turned her head and glanced at Fang Tiankuo.

When Fang Tiankuo saw Longying's eyes turning towards him, his ferocious expression immediately subsided a lot, and he looked at Longying and shook his head.

Longying asked, "What do you mean? Isn't the ghost woman in the sect?"

The leading woman's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness, "It's not that the ghost woman is not in the sect, but that the ghost woman has been dead for many years, when Ming Mansion defeated the foreign country."

Longying widened her eyes in disbelief and turned to look at Fang Tiankuo, who was filled with demonic aura.

Fang Tiankuo said, "I don't know what's going on. I'm just responsible for dealing with my enemies."

The leading woman said, "Come in with me first. I believe you know the ghost woman. After all, she doesn't have many acquaintances outside."

Longying nodded, then pulled Fang Tiankuo and followed the leading woman in.

Feeling the warmth from his hand, Fang Tiankuo suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly like a child.

When the ghost cult members saw this scene, they all gasped.

Who is this? This is Fang Mo! How could he be bound by a woman?

Although they felt everyone's gazes, neither Fang Tiankuo nor Longying paid much attention to it.

Of course, the leading woman was also extremely surprised, but she knew that there were some things she shouldn't talk about or ask.

Led by the woman, the group passed through the Ghost Cult's gate and came inside.

The smell of death was everywhere, coming from the surrounding rooms.

"What's going on?" Longying looked at this place with some confusion.

Logically speaking, although the name and religion of the ghost witch both contain the word "ghost", according to my understanding, this is because their attributes are mysterious and unpredictable, but in fact they have nothing to do with death and ghosts, right?

The leading woman sighed and said, "These rooms are filled with corpses. They are our fellow disciples who died in the war. Over time, a deathly aura has gradually formed here, so you don't need to be surprised."

Hearing this, Longying was also in awe of these houses and did not ask any further questions.

As everyone stepped into the Ghost Cult Hall, an eerie atmosphere greeted them.

The hall was filled with a faint smoke, making the vision a little blurry.

The dim light flickered, casting strange shadows on the walls.

In the center of the hall is a huge altar, on which is enshrined a ferocious statue of a god.

The eyes of the statue sparkle with a faint light, as if they can see into people's hearts.

The surrounding walls are engraved with mysterious symbols and patterns, which remind people of the ancient taboos and curses.

The ground was paved with black stone slabs, cold and smooth.

In the corner of the hall, there are some strange objects, giving off an unsettling atmosphere.

There was a foul smell in the air, as if countless secrets and evils were hidden here.

The entire hall was filled with eerie silence, with only the occasional sound of wind like the whisper of a ghost. In this eerie atmosphere, Longying's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Looking at the people here, it seems that except for Longying, everyone else has gotten used to it.

The leading woman looked at Longying and Fang Tiankuo somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Excuse me, both of you. Please just sit down for now."

Hearing this, Longying and Fang Tiankuo didn't say anything polite and just found a place to sit down.

Longying clung tightly to Fang Tiankuo. As long as Fang Tiankuo was by her side, Longying was not afraid of anything.

Fang Tiankuo felt very happy as he felt the physical contact brought by Longying.

Afterwards, the leading woman ordered her subordinates to serve tea and water.

There were only three people left here. The woman looked at Fang Tiankuo and Longying, then turned her gaze towards the ferocious statue.

Longying also felt that the aura of death in the hall was all coming from this statue.

Before Longying could ask, Fang Tiankuo grabbed her hand and said, "The witch may be in this statue."

Upon hearing this, Longying was immediately shocked.

Before Longying could ask anything, the woman in the lead spoke quietly.

"Lord Fang Mo is right. The witch is sealed here. This was her last wish before she died," the woman said respectfully.

Longying was filled with emotion at this moment and really didn't know how to express her feelings.
