Chapter 5158

The old man on the left had a hunched body, with bony fingers visible under his black robe, his nails were bluish black, and a string of soul beads spun around his waist;

The old man on the right had a swollen face, his eyes rolled back, saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth, and in his hand he held a chain sickle wrapped in netherworld flames.

It was the two elders of the underworld whom the Great Elder had urgently summoned—Ghost Claw Lady and Drowned Soul Lord.

“Great Elder, why are you so flustered?”

The ghost claw woman’s voice was as sharp and piercing as fingernails scraping across stone slabs.

She glanced at the ashes of the child on the ground, a trace of impatience flashing in her eyes, “If you hadn’t called me urgently, the two of us would have used the ‘Hundred Ghosts Refining Souls’ technique to refine a new container.”

The great elder stood up suddenly, his robe sleeves trembling, and pointed to the soul lamp stand in the center of the hall: “Ghost Face… the soul lamps of the five ghosts are all extinguished!”

The Drowned Soul Lord’s eyes trembled suddenly, and the chain sickle fell to the ground with a clang: “Impossible! The five ghosts joined forces, plus the gluttonous ghost beast, even the peak of the scattered immortals can’t be their opponent, who in the Three Heavens has such ability?”

“The soul lamp will not lie!”

The Great Elder clenched his fists, his fingertips turning white from exerting too much force. “More importantly, the token on Ghost Face’s body is lost! If it falls into the hands of outsiders, the organization’s secrets… and the ‘shackles’ on our heads, will no longer be hidden!”

The two elders from the Netherworld looked at each other and saw horror in each other’s eyes.

Ghost Claw Po calculated something with her skinny fingers, her brows furrowed more and more tightly. “Before the soul lamp went out, the energy fluctuations showed that they collided with an extremely strange force near the Blood Shadow Palace, and then disappeared completely.”

“Blood Shadow Palace?” The Great Elder’s pupils shrank. “I know the strength of the Blood Shadow Palace, but how could they have the power to kill the Five Ghosts?”

The Drowned Soul Lord licked his cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice: “No matter who it is, the token must be recovered! Great Elder, do you know the other party’s background?”

“Nothing!”

The Great Elder punched the stone table, and cracks spread to the corners of the table. “Ghost Face didn’t even send out a telepathic message to ask for help, which shows how sudden his death was.”

“Now we can only rely on you two elders. Lead the ‘Shadow Guards of the Underworld’ to thoroughly investigate the Three Heavens. Even if you dig deep underground, you must find the token back!”

Ghost Claw Lady laughed sinisterly, and the soul bead on her fingertips suddenly flashed red: “Don’t worry, anything that has been tainted by the aura of the Ghost Mask cannot escape the tracking of my ‘Ten Thousand Soul Lock’, but…” She paused, her eyes swept over the Great Elder, “If the token is hidden and has no aura, even we…”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

The Great Elder interrupted in a stern voice, “If we can’t find the token, all three of us will die! Remember, we must find the person alive or the body dead, and the token must be brought back intact!”

The two elders of the Netherworld led a hundred shadow guards of the underworld and poured into the Blood Shadow like a black tide.

The place was already in a mess, with corpses everywhere. Some naked female corpses were exposed, making the Drowned Soul Prince lick his lips when he saw them.

The Ghost Claw Lady glared at the Drowned Soul Man coldly, and the Drowned Soul Man was so scared that he withdrew his gaze!

Standing in front of a piece of charred land, Ghost Claw Po pointed with her withered fingers at the claw marks three feet deep on the ground: “Look at the length of the claws, it’s the ‘Netherworld Claw’ of the Taotie ghost beast, but the power of the counterattack…”

She leaned over and grabbed a handful of scorched earth. The soul orb in her palm suddenly spun wildly, making a crackling sound.

“What’s wrong?”

The Drowned Soul Man came forward and thrust his chain sickle into the ground. Immediately, countless souls emerged from the ground, howling and pointing in all directions.

“The aura… has been erased!”

The Ghost Claw Lady crushed the soul bead fiercely, her face livid, “It’s not just the ordinary destruction of the soul and spirit, but even the remnants of the spiritual consciousness and energy fluctuations have been completely devoured! It’s like… being swallowed alive by something, not even a bone residue is left!”

“What on earth is so powerful? Could it be that the five ghosts were swallowed by my own gluttonous ghost beast?”

The Drowned Soul Man frowned and asked in confusion!
