Two hours later, as the sun slowly set, Qin Xuan looked thoughtfully ahead.
The sun had set, and now it was his turn to act.
Once the last rays of sunlight completely dissipated, Qin Xuan exhaled and looked forward, then controlled the paper figure to walk into the Ancient Battlefield.
"Will there be any problems?"
Han Ye was a little worried, afraid that the paper figure might attract unnecessary trouble.
"It's fine, it's just a paper figure. Even if it dies inside, there's no need to worry too much."
Qin Xuan was confident and unafraid.
Ghostly Yin Souls ultimately lacked intelligence.
Since they lacked intelligence, Qin Xuan naturally wasn't worried that this thing would cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.
"I've already put the Medicinal Pill on the paper figure. As long as it goes in and observes, making sure there are no other Ghost Kings, then we can try to lure this thing out with the Medicinal Pill."
As long as he could confirm that there was only one Ghost King here, Qin Xuan wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed by other Ghost Kings.
The paper figure carried a porcelain bottle containing the Medicinal Pill.
Before confirming how many Ghost Kings were here, he wasn't planning on having the paper figure use the Medicinal Pill to attract a Ghost King yet.
Soon, the paper figure walked into the Ancient Battlefield.
Through the paper figure's vision, Qin Xuan was able to get a relatively complete view of the situation inside the Ancient Battlefield.
The entire Ancient Battlefield was filled with dense fog and gusting Yin Qi at this time.
After the sun set, the Yin Qi here had become increasingly strong.
It seemed the things inside truly disliked the sun; once the sun set, they would begin to stir.
The Ancient Battlefield was incredibly desolate, with rotten weapons occasionally appearing on the battlefield.
The weapons were decayed, and the white bones were so rotted that they would immediately turn to powder when stepped on.
Not far ahead, several large burial mounds could be seen.
Faintly, a stone tablet could also be seen standing in front of the mounds.
This was where the Grand Ancestor had buried these corpses after defeating the enemy back then, and erected a stone tablet to commemorate the fallen.
However, with the passage of time, these stone tablets had also begun to decay and weather.
The largest burial mound in the very center was where the Ghost King Jin Ming mentioned resided.
Qin Xuan took a deep breath and controlled the paper figure to continue forward.
After walking straight to the central burial mound, the paper figure Qin Xuan finally stopped.
By this time, the moon had already risen.
"It seems it should be coming out soon."
Qin Xuan stared at that spot. After a long while, a gust of Yin Qi blew, and soon more and more Yin Qi swirled, and Yin Souls began to appear all around.
"There are still many Yin Souls here, but it's clear their strength is very weak. Most are equivalent to the Rookie Realm or Profound Earth, with only a small portion equivalent to the Tianxuan Realm. As for Yuqing Realm Ghost Generals, none have appeared yet."
Qin Xuan was unhurried. He controlled the paper figure to retreat to one side.
"Generally speaking, one burial mound represents one Ten Thousand Corpse Pit, and this is also the most likely place for a Ghost King to be born."
"In other words, these few burial mounds are the most likely places to produce Ghost Kings."
Jin Ming explained to Qin Xuan from the side, while Qin Xuan kept pondering.
Considering these few burial mounds, each should have a Ghost King.
"Forget it, why don't we try with a Medicinal Pill and see if a Ghost King comes out from inside?"
Just then, Han Ye suddenly suggested.
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and was about to control the paper figure to use the Medicinal Pill to lure out the Ghost King.
Suddenly, the wind around the paper figure grew fierce.
Although Qin Xuan himself had not entered the Ancient Battlefield, seeing this strange wind, Qin Xuan's heart immediately sank.
"This wind doesn't seem right!"
Qin Xuan frowned and controlled the paper figure to look around warily.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew, almost knocking the paper figure over.
Not good!
Qin Xuan was greatly alarmed and hurriedly controlled the paper figure to turn around.
However, the paper figure had no strength, and just as it turned around, it saw a sharp claw directly grabbing at its head.
"Rip!"
The powerless paper figure was instantly torn to shreds by the sharp claw.
The moment the paper figure fell, Qin Xuan also clearly saw what had grabbed it.
It was a green-haired evil ghost, which quickly shredded the paper figure into pieces.
Qin Xuan's essence blood and that trace of Divine Soul were quickly recalled by Qin Xuan from the Ancient Battlefield.
"Which Ghost King is this?"
He spoke with some hesitation.
However, Qin Xuan quickly dismissed this idea.
"It shouldn't be a Ghost King. A Ghost King is equivalent to the Shangqing Realm. With that one claw, the paper figure would have been completely obliterated."
Qin Xuan was still shaken, but quickly determined that it wasn't a Ghost King.
"If it's not a Ghost King, why did it suddenly appear? It seems I still need to go in and check."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan's mind stirred, and he immediately continued to attach the returned essence blood and Divine Soul to a new paper figure, then sent a new paper figure in.
This time, the paper figure's actions were much more cautious than before.
Soon, the paper figure arrived next to the previous destroyed paper figure.
That ghost was constantly moving around ahead, and there were several other ghosts of the same level around it.
"This should be a Ghost General, with strength equivalent to a Yuqing Realm Cultivator. As long as you are careful after entering, there shouldn shouldn't be a big problem."
Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan at this time.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly, but he had no intention of going in right now.
"What's appearing here now are Ghost Generals. Normally, Ghost Kings should come out to hunt these Ghost Kings. Let's wait a bit; maybe we can see a nearby Ghost King appear."
These Ghost Generals all appeared here with their bodies, which made Qin Xuan a little worried. If the Ghost King also always moved with its body, then it would be difficult to act.
"Master is worried about the Ghost King, afraid that the Ghost King also moves with its body like this?"
Jin Ming, who was beside him, seemed to have seen Qin Xuan's worry and asked him.
Qin Xuan was startled and nodded slightly towards Jin Ming.
"That's right. If the Ghost King always moves with its body, I can only leave this place. Contending for a body with a Taiqing Realm powerhouse is simply courting death."
Not only that.
This was the Ghost King's territory. If he went in, so many Yin Souls around might all swarm him.
Although he was still very confident he could escape from here with the Refining God Cauldron.
But this did not mean he could be reckless.
One who often walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet. Such risky things are unnecessary unless there is a great reward.
"Regarding this, Master can rest assured. In order to bear the Ghost King's Divine Soul, the Ghost King's body usually stays in the deepest part to absorb Yin Qi year-round. Normally, the Ghost King moves around in the form of a Divine Soul."
Moving around in the form of a Divine Soul.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan had some new ideas. If that were truly the case, then there was a great opportunity.
