Ghost Compendium-Chapter 413 - 371: A Narrow Escape

He can now only slowly erase and modify the law of the [Dark Sun] from his body, absolutely unable to regain the power strength of a Venerable or even an ordinary Fierce Ghost.

Only by maintaining the current state of residual thoughts can he continue to deceive Da Yi.

After all, the other party could never think that Wu Liang, whom they wanted to capture, would be hiding in residual thoughts, almost as insignificant as ants in the Fierce Ghost World.

But once the state is restored to normal, Da Yi would surely detect it in a very short time.

By then, Wu Liang’s situation would hardly change, needing to find a way to escape pursuit again, and the difficulty would only be greater than now.

"I never expected that I would actually use a car here one day," Wu Liang said with a smile.

Then, from his shadow, a thin figure emerged, along with a taxi that shouldn’t exist on the roadside in the Fierce Ghost World.

Taxi Ghost! At this moment, it was greatly useful!

Da Yi had already begun to be curious about Wu Liang’s law and had contacted him several times.

Even though he hasn’t yet understood how the [modify reality] law is achieved.

But Wu Liang was still worried that always using the law to modify reality might have his aura detected by Da Yi.

After all, as residual thoughts now, he shouldn’t even be associating with laws!

Therefore, having the Taxi Ghost, which should exist in the worldview of the Fierce Ghost World, as a cover was the best choice!

But due to the peculiarities of the Fierce Ghost World, Taxi Ghost couldn’t instantly reach Apang Palace using its ability but had to drive slowly like a real taxi driver, taking Wu Liang there.

Thud-thud-thud——thud-thud-thud——

Sitting in the car feeling the bumps along the way, Wu Liang frowned.

At the current speed, it would probably take several hours to reach near Apang Palace, and he still wasn’t sure about the accurate location of the First Emperor.

If Moon Reading Poseidon and the First Emperor ended up pulling the battlefield too far, how would he find them?

Moreover, Puppet Ghost over there couldn’t drag Da Yi on for too long; after all, it only possessed all of his Fierce Ghost Abilities, but things like the [modify reality] law weren’t something it could grasp.

Without the [modify reality] law, all of Puppet Ghost’s means would be mere child’s play before Da Yi.

"Boss, you actually don’t need to worry too much about Puppet over there. Isn’t it able to return anytime?" Taxi Ghost comforted Wu Liang as it drove.

Yes, the reason for letting Puppet Ghost delay Da Yi safely was due to the not-so-serious safety factor for the Fierce Ghost Minions.

Because once they encountered danger, they could return to the [Ghost Compendium] at any time.

But Taxi Ghost’s words gave Wu Liang a new idea.

"I know how to deceive the heavens across the sea now! Stop the car!" Wu Liang suddenly laughed.

Immediately, under Taxi Ghost’s puzzled gaze, Wu Liang walked directly to a clearing and pulled out an unexpected Fierce Ghost Minion—

Tower Ghost!

This could be said to be the least combat-effective member among all Wu Liang’s Fierce Ghost Minions.

Tower Ghost’s ability is unique, mainly functional under specific conditions, but regardless, it has nothing to do with fighting or fleeing, does it?

In the next second, not just Tower Ghost, from Wu Liang’s shadow, Thunder Ghost, Oil Paper Umbrella, Hanged Ghost, and all Fierce Ghost Minions emerged.

There was quite a sense of holding an employee meeting.

Seeing them all with puzzled looks, Wu Liang smiled and explained: "Actually, I don’t need to find the First Emperor myself. I just need to escape; finding the First Emperor is your task to strive for survival!"

Wu Liang had been trapped in a certain thinking blind spot, always feeling that he had to find the First Emperor during his escape to survive.

But he kept forgetting that he also had some extremely special abilities, only remembering when Taxi Ghost reminded him—

Not just Fierce Ghost Minions can transfer back to the [Ghost Compendium] anytime; he can also switch places with them anytime!

[Ghost Shadow Following]!

Why blindly search for the First Emperor alone?

Since the Fierce Ghost Minions cannot pose any harm or influence to Da Yi under the current circumstances, instead, since he hasn’t even seen these Fierce Ghost Minions’ forms and wasn’t clear of their relationship with him, let them go to find the First Emperor on his behalf!

Once found, he can use [Ghost Shadow Following] to transfer there, right?

And it can conveniently allow Wu Liang to plan the escape route!

"Da Yi knows I want to seek the First Emperor’s Shelter, so his search direction is likely judged toward the First Emperor’s location."

"Hey! I’m not going that way! I’m turning and running towards the opposite direction, heading to the Great Qin border!"

"From now on, you’re in charge of finding the First Emperor; I’m in charge of fleeing!"

Saying that, Wu Liang swiftly hid inside Tower Ghost.

Currently, the state of residual thoughts isn’t suitable for long-distance travel, and it’s easy to be attacked by unfamiliar Fierce Ghosts frightened by the skirmishes between Great Venerables outside.

Using Tower Ghost as a means of transportation is the best choice!

It has the aura of a Lord level, which won’t make unfamiliar Fierce Ghosts easily hostile or attack, nor will it raise excessive suspicion from Da Yi.

After all, with Great Venerables fighting, it’s entirely reasonable for a mere Lord to be scared and want to flee the Great Qin border!

"Alright, Boss!" "At your orders, Boss" "Bzz Bzz Bzz!" "..."

The Fierce Ghost Minions expressed understanding of Wu Liang’s plan individually, each starting to recklessly search for the current location of the First Emperor in different directions centering around Apang Palace.

Having detached from Wu Liang, their efficiency in searching instead reached quite a high level.

After all, without worrying about Da Yi deliberately causing them trouble, they didn’t need to be cautious in searching.

Spectacle, am I the real burden!?

Hoo—

Not long after the Fierce Ghost Minions left, while Wu Liang was lying inside Tower Ghost enjoying the driving service, a gust of dark wind suddenly swept up beside him.

Following was a familiar figure falling in front of him.

Looking closely, Puppet Ghost’s tattered doll appearance became even more miserable.

Not only did it look grey and dirty as if it had rolled in mud, but even a doll’s arm and leg were missing, with cotton spilling out, making it resemble roadside trash more, and when it turned its head, Wu Liang found one of the buttons serving as its eyes was shattered. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Seeing Wu Liang, the doll instantly clung on, saying aggrievedly: "Oooh...can’t beat it, Boss! Can’t even outrun it! What the hell is that monster? Are you sure it’s going to keep chasing us? Can we survive?"

Even Puppet Ghost, with its playful temperament, was frightened by Da Yi’s fierce bombing attack.

Puppet Ghost originally thought to drag Da Yi for a while for Wu Liang, using Da Yi’s interest in the relationship between the First Emperor and Wu Liang. Considering if it couldn’t outrun, perhaps it could talk nonsense with the guy for as long as possible.

Yet unexpectedly, the skeleton acted as if Puppet Ghost killed his father, indiscriminately beginning slaughter.

Utterly ignoring Puppet Ghost’s nonsense like "I’m the First Emperor’s illegitimate child," "I have a palm technique falling from the sky, want to learn it?" or "I’m actually from the future," Da Yi’s mind, furious due to provocation, only thought of eliminating Wu Liang as quickly as possible.

At the very least, he wanted to defeat him until only his soul remained, then capture Wu Liang’s remnant soul back for interrogation.

Thus, Puppet Ghost experienced the most unforgettable ten minutes of its ghost life.

Even when Wu Liang subdued it back then, the pressure wasn’t as strong; the constant threat of being captured made it not dare slacken even for a moment.

Despite this, within just ten minutes, it was heavily wounded, nearly completely exterminated.

The damage to its form would likely only be restored within the [Ghost Compendium] in the short term.

Wu Liang looked at Puppet Ghost trembling, revealing a confident smile:

"We will survive; we will return to the real world to change everything!"

"The world’s end isn’t truly inevitable!"
