Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Before, Guo Mingxin’s location had always been fixed, so everyone found it easy to search for him. But now that Guo Mingxin’s position suddenly moved, it made people worry instead.

When Guo Mingxin remains still, there are only two possibilities: one, Guo Mingxin has been captured and controlled by someone or something, or two, he himself is hiding in a safe place seeking refuge.

Though this situation isn’t optimistic, at least he stays in one place without life-threatening danger. Even if the exact location is uncertain, following the general direction can eventually lead to finding him.

However, once a person starts moving, it becomes troublesome. Either his originally safe place is no longer secure, forcing him to run, or the person who captured him is changing their position. Either scenario is a big problem.

Originally, it was impossible to determine the exact location; one could only know a rough direction. Now with the person moving around, even this rough direction is indeterminable, leaving everyone completely in the dark.

Xu Fengsheng looked at the red dot spinning chaotically on the identity token, his expression extremely grim. The red dot was erratically running all over, making it impossible to determine an exact location, indicating that Guo Mingxin is moving rapidly.

Xu Fengsheng frowned deeply, feeling agitated. Yun Jue patted his shoulder to comfort him, ”Don’t worry, we’ll search slowly. If all else fails, we’ll turn Nantian Ghost Kingdom upside down inch by inch. We refuse to believe we can’t find Mingxin.”

Xu Fengsheng exhaled, forcing a smile, but he had no mind for further conversation. His heart was restless, fearing that before they could turn over the Nantian Ghost Kingdom, his disciple might already be in trouble.

Nearby, Beichen Ran, observing Xu Fengsheng’s anxious demeanor, frowned and said, ”The most troublesome part now is that we have no idea why your disciple ventured into Nantian Ghost Kingdom.”

Also, unless one is a ghost cultivator from the Hundred Ghosts Alliance, human cultivators cannot stay long in the Nantian Ghost Kingdom. If your disciple really stayed here for half a year, it’s unbelievable.

Considering his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could stay here for at most two months. Staying for half a year, his body should have long succumbed to the invasion of the Yin Miasma, so the fact that he still maintains life force, isn’t it strange?”

Xu Fengsheng sighed heavily. He had no way to explain all of this, and it was what worried him the most.

Shuangshuang felt worrying about these things was pointless and instead took the lead: ”Rather than worrying, we should move more quickly. If no one feels secure, then let’s continue in the previous direction.”

Xu Fengsheng sighed, ”It’s the only way. No matter what, I still have to trouble everyone to work a bit harder.”

Everyone nodded. It was supposed to be this way, so without further talk, they continued forward. Shuangshuang’s divine sense could reach the farthest among them, so she was solely responsible for searching the east.

Yun Jue and Beichen Ran, along with Gong Ziyun, were responsible for searching in the south, west, and north directions, with Xu Fengsheng checking for any gaps, assisted by Ruoyang.

Thus, they walked for a full ten days with still no news of Guo Mingxin. Before entering the Nantian Ghost Kingdom, Xu Fengsheng could hold back his anxiety.

At that time, he could calm his mind to refine Soul Nourishing Pills for Shuangshuang, thinking that with a half-year disappearance, it wouldn’t hurt to take a few more days.

However, upon entering the Nantian Ghost Kingdom and feeling the oppressive ghost realm, Xu Fengsheng became increasingly anxious.

Various bad assumptions kept surfacing in his mind, driving him mad, wishing he could rip apart the entire Nantian Ghost Kingdom in an instant.

Everyone could sense Xu Fengsheng’s agitation, yet Xu Fengsheng himself kept suppressing it.

Moreover, everyone felt equally frustrated and irritable. The ghost realm had perpetual night without day, no spiritual energy but rampant Yin Miasma, naturally causing vexation.

What further frustrated them was that the deeper they ventured, the more powerful ghost demons appeared, including ones that could contend with Tribulation Crossing Cultivators.

These ghost demons were not intimidated by Shuangshuang and the others’ auras; plus, here was their home ground, so they resorted to stealth attacks and harassment. Earlier, Gong Ziyun was nearly wounded by a ghost demon, were it not for Beichen Ran shielding her.

The ghost demon’s claws were poisonous, with higher cultivation indicating stronger poison. The ghost demon that injured Beichen Ran was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Had Xu Fengsheng not prepared enough elixirs in advance, Beichen Ran would have succumbed to the ghost demon’s venom by now.

After another two days of walking, Yun Jue, who had been searching the south, suddenly paused with excitement, announcing to those around, ”I’ve sensed it; there’s a cultivator ahead.”

”A living person?!” Xu Fengsheng was both surprised and delighted. ”Is it Mingxin?”

Yun Jue extended his divine sense further, frowning in hesitance, ”It’s too deep here; the Yin Miasma is too thick, blocking my divine sense so I can’t clearly see who it is. But it’s definitely a living person.”

Gong Ziyun consoled Xu Fengsheng, ”As long as there’s someone, it’s good. If it’s your disciple, then great. If not, we can ask if they have any news of your disciple.”

Shuangshuang also scanned with her divine sense. Hers was stronger than Yun Jue’s, allowing her to see a bit clearer. The person’s face wasn’t visible, but the tall and slender figure suggested it was a man.

Shuangshuang felt that Xu Fengsheng was likely in for disappointment, as she’d seen Guo Mingxin’s image, and the other person was of medium build and somewhat frail, starkly different from this person.

However, seeing Xu Fengsheng eagerly pursuing after Yun Jue, she opened her mouth but decided not to voice her observation.

The subsequent journey was of brisk pace; fortunately, the person Yun Jue found seemed to be moving slowly, possibly due to some injury.

Indeed, being deep within Nantian Ghost Kingdom, it was improbable for Golden Core Stage cultivators to reach such depths. Even if they did, they’d find it difficult to move efficiently.

Halfway through, Xu Fengsheng slowed down, having realized that the approaching person was not his beloved disciple Guo Mingxin, but an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator.

Though disappointed, Xu Fengsheng still went ahead, just as mentioned earlier, that even if it wasn’t Guo Mingxin, they could inquire about his disciple’s whereabouts, just in case this person knew him.

The person also sensed someone approaching, but recognizing them as fellow cultivators, they stayed put, waiting for the group to get closer.

In a place like Nantian Ghost Kingdom, if someone’s human, they’re a natural ally unless it’s between a cultivator and an evil cultivator. Otherwise, even foes might collaborate when pushed.

Finally up close, the group saw the person’s clothes were in tatters, stained with blood, and their aura unstable, clearly indicative of a fierce battle.

The group wasn’t surprised at the person’s plight, as ghost demons here were increasingly numerous, testing even Shuangshuang and the others’ patience, let alone an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator traversing alone—an undoubtedly arduous journey.
