The Slender Ghost Shadow split into countless forms, ravaging the entire North American region for a time, finally drawing the attention of a region-wide roundup.
Its individual clones died during the encirclement, making it realize that the North American region was no longer suitable for its survival.
So it decided to relocate to the Washington D.C. region for development. Coincidentally, it ran into Feng Gui Shen, who forcibly signed a master-servant contract with it, turning it into an unwelcome True Order under Feng Gui Shen.
After a few more years, the Slender Ghost Shadow was thrown here by Feng Gui Shen and ordered to capture Luo Feng.
This was the entire process of the Slender Ghost Shadow from its birth to its capture. Although it was now captured by Wen Wen, it had also escaped that terrifying contract thanks to Wen Wen, and its future might even be more comfortable.
Little did it know that Wen Wen had already taken notice of it due to the matter of the imperial seal, and its future days would not be easy.
Regarding Feng Gui Shen's true identity, the Slender Ghost Shadow knew not much, and the intelligence it provided was likely already known by the Association.
Having no further questions for the moment, Wen Wen collected the only ghost shadow possessing 'intelligence' into the containment facility and walked towards the bronze coffin.
The red-haired monster, Luo Feng, lay quietly in the coffin, with a faint phantom outside its body, seemingly still experiencing the fear of death from those killed by the Slender Ghost Shadow.
Wen Wen roughly dragged Luo Feng out and proceeded to imprison him.
As for the massive bronze coffin, being able to trap Luo Feng for so long, it was highly likely a treasure.
Even if it were merely an ordinary item, it was a bronze coffin with a thousand years of history, certainly worth a lot of money.
Speaking of which, Luo Feng, this True Order old ghost, was like something picked up for free. If they ever clashed with Feng Gui Shen in the future, this fellow could serve as a bargaining chip.
Then Wen Wen felt something rubbing against his back. Turning around, he saw the ferocious ghost dragon, acting like a docile puppy, gently rubbing against Wen Wen's legs.
And the legitimate puppy, the human-headed dog, lay to the side, sulking.
Wen Wen had promised to let the human-headed dog assist when encountering strong enemies.
But when Luo Feng appeared, the human-headed dog was just about to showcase its abilities to help Wen Wen win.
Who could have imagined that Wen Wen would be instantly defeated, and what's more, it was a pretense. In the end, Wen Wen's entire process went smoothly, leaving the human-headed dog with no opportunity to display its abilities, making it seem like a useless bystander.
Being a bystander in combat was one thing, but being a quiet sycophant was also acceptable. Yet, why did this damned dragon push it aside and steal its job when it wanted to fawn over Wen Wen?
Wen Wen looked at the two of them and burst into laughter.
He patted the human-headed dog's head and said, "This place is dissipating, but the speed is very slow. It can hold on for at least another hour. There are still six or seven more ghosts here. You and Qing Qing go capture them all."
After being assigned the task, the human-headed dog wagged its tail happily, tugged at Tao Qingqing's pant leg, and pulled her towards the other ghosts.
Punishing ghosts was the human-headed dog's instinct, which was why it was so sad about this.
Tao Qingqing had to follow the human-headed dog with a speechless expression, but she had a smile on her face. Although she had long guessed that Wen Wen was faking his death, she truly relaxed only when she saw Wen Wen stand up.
Wen Wen had no worries about whether Tao Qingqing and the human-headed dog could capture the remaining ghosts. Luo Feng had siphoned the ghost energy of the land of slumber several times before, causing weaker ghosts to perish early. The remaining ghosts were all greatly weakened.
Moreover, with the human-headed dog's natural suppression of ghosts, there was no situation they couldn't handle.
These remaining six ghosts were originally quite strong. Thus, capturing them into the containment facility was not a loss. If they couldn't be subdued, they would be eliminated, thus resolving some hidden dangers.
Then Wen Wen looked at the bone dragon, kicking it several somersaults, but it still stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, acting more like a dog than a dog.
Wen Wen cursed with a laugh, "You long worm, your cowardice is uniquely peculiar. I don't know what to do with you... From now on, you'll be my mount. It's much cooler to ride you out in critical moments than to sit on clouds."
After casually collecting the ghost dragon, Wen Wen looked at the last person standing beside him, which was Sha Seng Fo Hai.
"How about it, want to join us?"
In Wen Wen's opinion, Fo Hai's strength was sufficient, and he held a high position within the Ming Wang Secret Teachings, making him an excellent candidate for a tool.
Furthermore, Fo Hai had witnessed Wen Wen putting on the Disaster Prison Warden robe and the scene of Wen Wen collecting Luo Feng and the Slender Ghost Shadow. To prevent him from spreading rumors after leaving, bringing him into his own faction was the best course of action.
After a brief understanding, Fo Hai did not refuse Wen Wen's invitation and became a new containment officer.
Firstly, Wen Wen's strength was indeed formidable. Secondly, Wen Wen had saved his life. Lastly, he himself possessed an almost obsessive dedication to punishing evil monsters, and the containment facility was actually more to his liking than the Ming Wang Secret Teachings.
The remaining six old ghosts did not last long under Tao Qingqing's hands. The human-headed dog's suppression effect on ghosts was astonishing.
It was just unknown whether this suppression effect would also work on the disaster-level Feng Gui Shen.
After the last old ghost was subdued by Tao Qingqing, the collapse of the land of slumber began to accelerate.
The foundation of this place was the ghost energy of countless ghostly beings. With all the ghost energy gone, it could no longer support itself.
A repulsive force appeared on everything that was still conscious, and Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing were no exception...
As dawn broke, several demon hunters in various attire stood outside Tian Lao Qi's inn.
These demon hunters had just finished recuperating in Rabbit Village and rushed here for their mission. Gu Panxi and Kong Die were among them.
They attached great importance to this place, knowing it was related to the ghost disaster a thousand years ago, so they proceeded with extreme caution and did not venture in rashly during the night.
When Tao Qingqing disappeared, they did not pay much attention, considering her merely an assistant to a wandering hunter.
But when the 'Upper Order' wandering hunter Wen Wen also disappeared here yesterday, their nerves became tense.
Because among them, only one was a demon hunter of Upper Order strength. If they were slightly careless, they might also disappear here like Wen Wen.
After a period of investigation and interrogation of the tomb keeper Wang Da Yi, they guessed that the key point might be within this inn, which was why they came to investigate so early in the morning.
Upon entering the inn, their expressions changed. According to intelligence, this should have been a normal inn. Why was it completely empty, with even the chandelier removed?
And there was also the smell of burnt corpses in the air!
