Listen, Lu Yunkuang?

Jiang Wei, with his powerful insight, almost immediately determined that this little ghost was not lying.

Shortly after, Jiang Wei quickly figured out the crux of the matter: "Is Lu Yunkuang trying to take revenge on me?"

Jiang Wei and Lu Yunkuang definitely had a deep-seated grudge! After all, Jiang Wei had already harbored murderous intentions toward Lu Yunkuang at the time. Later, although Lu Yunkuang managed to save his life with a forbidden technique, his strength had significantly decreased.

"Could it be that because of Lu Yunkuang's interference, Tian Zhan has been unable to help me find the members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect for so long?" Jiang Wei suddenly thought of this possibility.

After a brief analysis, Jiang Wei realized that this possibility was not small at all! No, it should be said that this possibility was very high!

According to Tian Zhan, with the power of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, finding a few ghosts in the City of Original Sin was not a difficult task; if everything went smoothly, it would usually take just a few days. However, now, after one or two months, they had only found Chen Ge and Du Zihuan; and when Jiang Wei saw them, they were being hunted by other ghosts!

Clearly, there must be a ghost interfering in the matter.

"How did they find Chen Ge and Du Zihuan?" Jiang Wei, puzzled, couldn't help but think of more—had they found any other members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect before?

If the ghosts sent by Lu Yunkuang found the members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect first, then Tian Zhan would never find them!

"Damn!" Thinking about this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but curse, "No wonder Tian Zhan couldn't find the members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect. Originally... Wait, that's not right!"

Jiang Wei and Lu Yunkuang's grudge began after their first return from the Mountain of Seeking the Dao. Before that, Tian Zhan had already been helping to find people for over a month, but found nothing—there was no grudge between Jiang Wei and Lu Yunkuang during that time!

Jiang Wei suddenly understood—there was no grudge between himself and Lu Yunkuang, but there was a grudge with Lu Yunkuang's boss, Fang Siqi!

"It seems that Fang Siqi is the mastermind behind this!" Jiang Wei quickly figured out the connection, "Fang Siqi, Fang Siqi, we don't have any major grudges, do we? Is it necessary to go to such lengths to deal with me?" However, what Jiang Wei was most worried about was whether any other members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect had been found by the ghosts sent by Fang Siqi; if so, what had happened to them?

"I'll ask you again!" Jiang Wei's gaze grew colder as he looked at the five little ghosts, "Before this, did you do anything similar!?"

"No... no!" the five little ghosts all said.

"No!?" Jiang Wei immediately determined that they were lying, "Don't test my patience! Tell me quickly, what happened to them!?" Jiang Wei barely restrained his urge to lose control.

"They... they..." The five little ghosts exchanged glances and decided to tell the truth; after all, as soon as they lied, Jiang Wei would immediately know.

"Before this, we found a total of twenty-seven ghosts who claimed to be members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect; they are all still... fine..." The little ghost whose ghost horn had been pulled out said nervously.

"All fine!?" Jiang Wei was no fool; if they were really all fine, how could he not have received any news at all?

"Tell me, what really happened to them!?" Jiang Wei had the impulse to immediately lock the five little ghosts in the Ten Thousand Insect Furnace and torture them.

"They... they... were all imprisoned..."

"What!?" Jiang Wei's eyes widened in anger.

...

Led by the five little ghosts, Jiang Wei quickly found the detention point.

On the way, under Jiang Wei's coercion, the five little ghosts revealed more information.

Actually, from the first day Tian Zhan posted the notice to find people, this matter somehow reached Fang Siqi's ears. Then, Fang Siqi instructed Lu Yunkuang to find the people before Tian Zhan!

Although Lu Yunkuang did not fully understand Fang Siqi's motives, he happily followed the instructions. After all, for Lu Yunkuang, this was not a big deal; he just had to open his mouth, and countless ghosts would be willing to run errands for him.

Without a doubt, Lu Yunkuang's influence was much greater than Tian Zhan's. Similarly, Lu Yunkuang had many more methods to find people, and his efficiency was much higher than Tian Zhan's.

Therefore, almost every time, Lu Yunkuang managed to find the people before Tian Zhan and then capture and imprison them. This time, Tian Zhan's luck was a bit better, and he found Chen Ge and Du Zihuan first.

"Fortunately..." Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, "Fortunately, everyone is still alive!" If anything had happened to the members of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, even if Jiang Wei killed all the ghosts like Lu Yunkuang, it would be of no use.

At the same time, Jiang Wei felt a wave of relief: "Fortunately, this time, Tian Zhan found the people first; otherwise, I might never have known the truth—perhaps not even for a long time!"

Thinking about this, Jiang Wei's anger flared up.

"Fang Siqi! Lu Yunkuang!" Jiang Wei had already decided to kill them, "Since you are determined to seek death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Misfortune should not extend to family members; but Fang Siqi and Lu Yunkuang did not spare even Jiang Wei's former sect members, how could Jiang Wei not be angry?

Jiang Wei even dared not let them live, for fear that they would pose a threat to the ghosts around him in the future.

"This is the place..." The five little ghosts led Jiang Wei to a simple building in the outer city.

"Go in!" Although still standing outside, Jiang Wei already felt a familiar aura.

When the door was opened, the scene inside made Jiang Wei's nose tingle—twenty-eight fellow disciples were crammed into the small building, their appearance pitiful, clearly having suffered a great deal. When the door opened, these twenty-eight former prodigies could not hide their fear as they looked out.

The fearful gazes made Jiang Wei's heart tremble.

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

"Senior Brother Wu!"

"Junior Sister Qin Wen..."

...

One by one, the familiar faces flashed before Jiang Wei's eyes. After being separated by life and death, and reuniting after several months, Jiang Wei's feelings for these fellow disciples had deepened even more than when they were in the human world.

While Jiang Wei was extremely angry, he could not hide his excitement at the reunion.

"Everyone has suffered!" Jiang Wei quickly stepped forward, bursting with 600 times his soul strength, and tore open the ghost-iron cage in one go.
