Ning Beichen sensed again before quickly heading towards one of the passages. However, this passage soon reached its end, appearing to be a dead end, completely blocked ahead.
Yet, Ning Beichen had no intention of retreating. With a thought, the bronze ancient sword flew out, directly carving a new passage at the dead end.
Ning Beichen flew behind, with the bronze ancient sword leading the way. Wherever they passed, rocks exploded. To the female reporter, it was as terrifying as the sky collapsing and the earth cracking.
But she was also extremely thrilled, like a drunk woman humming a song.
If Ning Beichen hadn't sealed her ability to speak, she would likely have started singing loudly by now.
After flying for about three minutes, Ning Beichen flew out of the newly created passage and saw a huge pit below his feet. Inside the pit, several souls were hiding sneakily.
"No need to hide, it's me, Old Ghost, A Qin, Old Niu."
Ning Beichen hovered above and called out to the three souls with furtive movements below.
The three souls, who were hiding in panic, were stunned when they heard Ning Beichen's voice, and then their expressions turned to disbelief.
"Ning Beichen, is that you? Where are you?"
Old Ghost, A Qin, and Old Niu looked around everywhere, searching for Ning Beichen's whereabouts.
"No need to look, it's fake."
Ning Beichen zipped over and appeared in front of them with a cheeky smile.
"Ning Beichen, it's really you. You... how did you get here too? Were you also tricked here by that Sun Goddess?"
Old Ghost hurriedly asked Ning Beichen.
As old friends, they naturally didn't want to see Ning Beichen in trouble, so they were concerned about him appearing here.
"No, Ning Beichen is not a soul."
The observant A Qin noticed something amiss and immediately said to Old Ghost and Old Niu.
"Really, Old Ghost, Ning Beichen is truly not a soul body."
Old Niu looked at Ning Beichen in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Let me see."
Old Ghost quickly reached out to touch Ning Beichen, but embarrassingly found that he was in a soul state and had no tactile sensation.
"Alright, Old Ghost, Third Aunt said you three were in trouble and rushed to find me. Your bodies are still lying in the hospital. I'm here to bring you back."
"By the way, what are you guys up to? You didn't actually believe in some Sun Goddess and come here, did you?"
Ning Beichen asked them.
"No... no, we're not that naive. We received a commission from some old acquaintances who said their child had an accident after going to a bar, and had been in a coma. So we went to investigate..."
Old Ghost and the others recounted the events.
The reason was actually not complicated. They had found some sun emblems, found them strange, and then investigated all the way to that bar. Who knew that in a daze, they were sent to this place.
However, unlike other souls, they were not deluded into believing this was some kind of godforsaken paradise.
So the three of them remained clear-headed, looking for an opportunity to escape, and then they were chased by the Sun Goddess's lackeys.
After that, they had been on the run, hiding from the Sun Goddess's minions.
As for why they were in this place?
It was because they accidentally discovered that many of the Sun Goddess's lackeys frequented this place, so they thought the Sun Goddess was here.
Therefore, before Ning Beichen found them, they were planning how to assassinate the Sun Goddess.
Ning Beichen looked at these three courageous old fellows, and couldn't help but feel amused. With their limited abilities, they wanted to assassinate the Sun Goddess? They must have eaten too much rice and clogged their brains.
However, these three old fellows, one a top assassin, one an intelligence expert, and one a former mercenary, were indeed a strange combination.
It was just that they didn't know some things couldn't be resolved with brute force.
Fortunately, Ning Beichen had returned from the Mortal Fading Realm this time.
If Ning Beichen had returned any later, these three old fellows would likely have met their end mysteriously, with no one to pity them. At best, they would have been treated as vegetative patients.
If they had money, they could lie in the hospital for a few more days; if not, they would be thrown out of the hospital to fend for themselves.
"You three really have guts of steel to take on any job."
Ning Beichen said to them.
"Heh, it was a friend's request, we couldn't refuse. Besides, we thought it was just some charlatan pretending to be a god, easy to handle. Who knew it would turn out like this..."
Old Ghost and the other two looked embarrassed.
"Alright, don't be so impulsive next time. I'll take you out now."
Ning Beichen said.
"Wait, Ning Beichen, we're sure the Sun Goddess is in this place. Aren't you going to do anything? If she's not eliminated, who knows how many more victims there will be..."
Old Ghost hurriedly said to Ning Beichen.
"Fine, since you're not afraid of death, I'll take you to see her."
Ning Beichen said.
"Hey, hello everyone, my name is Qiao Na, and I'm a reporter."
The female reporter, whose bones Ning Beichen had unfrozen, quickly signaled her presence and acted as if she was already familiar with them.
Hearing that they were going to deal with the Sun Goddess, the woman not only wasn't scared, but also seemed eager to join.
Ning Beichen had no choice but to tell Old Ghost and the other three about this female reporter.
"Welcome, welcome. Meeting is fate. By the way, aren't you scared, being a girl?"
Soon, Qiao Na became familiar with Old Ghost and the other three. The few soul bodies chatted enthusiastically, completely unconcerned about their state as souls, which made Ning Beichen quite speechless.
"Alright, stop chatting. Once the Sun Goddess is dealt with, I'll take you all away."
Ning Beichen reached out and controlled the soul bodies of Old Ghost, A Qin, Old Niu, and Qiao Na.
Then, Ning Beichen pointed his sword finger at the stone wall.
With a loud boom!
The bronze ancient sword directly carved a passage through the mountain.
This move by Ning Beichen stunned Old Ghost and the other two.
"This... is this still the Ning Beichen they knew?"
"And is that sword in his hand really a sword? Or is it some kind of missile?"
Ning Beichen didn't have time to pay them any attention. He deliberately created a huge commotion to attract a large number of the Sun Goddess's lackeys.
Facing these lackeys, Ning Beichen didn't even have the interest to fight. With a thought, a crackling sword light was released, like brilliant fireworks in the night, piercing all the lackeys and pinning them to the ground.
"Go, tell your Sun Goddess to come out!"
Ning Beichen, looking down from above, arrogantly shouted at the lackeys.
