The Fortune-Telling Heiress

Suddenly, two sentinel spirits descended from the sky, dragging a ghost along with them. They landed right before them.

Erwin quickly moved the veil aside.

"Wow! This time, we caught a ghost with good karma! If we offer him to the Ghost King, our cultivation levels will increase significantly. We're lucky that this ghost was just wandering outside." "Hahaha!"

The two sentinel spirits joyfully dragged the ghost away, unaware that others were on the bridge.

Erwin breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go!"

Darkness enveloped them as they were crossing the stone bridge. The next second, they were dazzled by bright light.

"Mr. Green Aurora, you're back!"

Logan rushed over to check on everyone.

When he confirmed that no one was injured or in trouble, a wave of relief washed over him. "What's the situation on the other side?"

He instructed his subordinates to escort the rescued individuals to safety. The military personnel were fine, but the exploration team members looked drained. They had expressions of fear and terror, as if they had seen something scary. Erwin was about to speak when he heard Michael shout, "Ms. Locke, what are you doing?"

Madison was standing at the edge of the stone bridge, her brows furrowed together as she looked across. "I need to go back."

"Things over there are indeed abnormal, but we need to discuss it before making any decisions."

Madison replied, "My friend is on the other side."

Erwin quickly grabbed Madison's wrist. "Ms. Locke, you can't rush things now. We don't know the background of that Ghost King. One thing we can be sure of is that he's definitely not easy to deal with."

Madison pulled her hand away. "I promised him that I would protect him. As a cultivator, I can't go back on my word."

She stepped back and said to the others, "Everyone, please head back for now!"

She then ran toward the stone bridge, quickly disappearing into the darkness on the other side.

Erwin stomped his foot in

frustration. "What's wrong with young people nowadays? Why are they so impulsive? Can't they wait until we have a complete plan before going over? novelbin

"What should we do now? Should we help her? That Ghost King doesn't sound easy to deal with!"

"Is anyone divining?"

As they spoke, someone began to divine.

"How did it go?"

The diviner put away his tools and said to them, "There's no answer."

"What?"

"Ms. Locke's fate, whether she lives or dies, depends entirely on herself. Even if we go in, it won't make a difference." Everyone's expression turned grave.

Liam approached Erwin and asked, "Where did you find this Madison? What faction does she belong to, and who's her master? Even if we can't save her, we should at least notify her faction so that they can come for her."

Erwin replied, "Ms. Locke has no faction and no master."

"At this point, are you still keeping things from us, Erwin?"

Erwin insisted, "I'm telling the truth.."

He recounted Madison's background.

Michael looked across the stone bridge. "No faction and self-taught! In this age of dwindling spiritual energy, is there still such talent? Is this a blessing or a misfortune for the world of mystic arts?"

Such a talent would undoubtedly achieve great things in an era of abundant spiritual energy.

But in this era of decline, even a genius wouldn't be able to accomplish much.

What a shame.
