Chapter 672 Her Shadow Is Moving
Ye Qing'an's eyes widened. How could this be?
She didn't move at all, but was searching behind them with her eyes, but why was her shadow moving?
Her shadow suddenly moved. A dark shadow, as if it had detached from her shadow, climbed onto the wall and walked on it. Then, the dark shadow waved at her.
"Greetings to Your Excellency and Your Majesty."
"shadow?"
Gu Duo's gaze also fell on the shadow, and he raised an eyebrow slightly: "A ghost?"
Yi Moxu nodded: "Yes, it is Ghost Shadow."
Ye Qing'an's eyes grew increasingly blank as she turned to look at Yi Moxu, her eyes filled with inquiry.
Yi Moxu rarely saw Ye Qing'an looking so confused, and couldn't help but chuckle: "The Ghost Shadows are actually a very special race. It's just that there are fewer of them than the Night Enchantresses. There are only about twenty or thirty of them in the whole world."
"They are good at hiding, so they are often used to gather information and for assassinations."
"Because they are extremely rare, and because those who possess ghostly apparitions deliberately conceal them, many people don't know much about them."
"Unlike Nightshade, Shadow is more like a spirit beast that can form a contract with a human. After forming the contract, it will be loyal to the human wholeheartedly. And how much ability they have is also determined by their master. Therefore, Shadow is not as unpredictable as Nightshade."
As Ye Qing'an listened to Yi Moxu speak, she saw the dark shadow on the wall nodding incessantly, occasionally changing its posture to greet Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Was this Yi Moxu's ghostly figure?
"It has entered into a contract with you?"
"Ah."
Ye Qing'an looked at the unusually lively black shadow: "It's quite different from your personality."
"Hehehe." The ghostly figure chuckled. "It's not that I'm different from my master's temperament; it's because I represent the hidden nature deep within my master's heart. So, in fact, my personality is still a shadow of my master's, only it's the part that my master doesn't often show to others..."
"what……"
After the ghost finished speaking, it suddenly jumped up and screamed in terror.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have revealed my master's secret."
Yi Moxu sneered: "You're such a drama queen. Why don't you get back to work?"
The ghost responded, clung to the wall, and quickly ran along it.
"Liu Enze is smoke, so he won't disturb the mechanisms and hidden weapons inside this secret passage. Ghost Shadow is a shadow, so it won't either."
"Liu Enze has extremely keen senses and can detect the approach of humans and spirit beasts, but he cannot detect the approach of a shadow. Because a shadow does not breathe and makes no sound."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That's right. It's much easier for Ghost Shadow to find out Liu Enze's whereabouts than for us."
After saying that, Ye Qing'an asked again, "When you were investigating Liu Enze's whereabouts before, why didn't you summon the ghost shadow?"
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Because at that time, the ghost was in Wangjing City."
Yi Moxu glanced at Gu Duo: "I'll tell you the details when we get back. General Gu probably doesn't want to hear us gossip."
Ye Qing'an almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.
In public, she is addressed as "Madam".
They kept emphasizing that it was the couple.
They seemed afraid that others wouldn't know about their relationship.
Before they got married, how come Ye Qing'an never discovered that Yi Moxu had such a personality?
As Ye Qing'an pondered this, she recalled what the ghostly figure had said earlier: that his lively and somewhat mischievous appearance was actually a manifestation of Yi Moxu's hidden temperament that he was unwilling to show to others.
So, deep down, Yi Moxu is actually a lively and cheerful person?
Ye Qing'an imagined what it would be like if Yi Moxu were as lively and mischievous as a ghost...
Thinking about it this way, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Goodbye...
That's it, it's good.
Yi Moxu turned to look at Ye Qing'an, wondering why Ye Qing'an suddenly showed such an expression. He coughed lightly and turned to Gu Duo, who had been frowning and silent since discovering the smell, and said, "After Ghost Shadow finds Liu Enze, we can push this ice wall a little further in, depending on Liu Enze's condition."
"Then, the three of us worked together."
"Choose a better spot, use military wind, and then blow Liu Enze, who is in smoke form, directly towards that spot."
"Then the lady used ice and snow magic to mix ice and snow into the wind, trying to freeze the smoke into ice and snow."
"Once Liu Enze discovers that it is the wind blowing, he will surely transform himself into a human form."
"Once he transforms into human form, Ghost Shadow and I can strike at the opportune moment. We can act directly..."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Okay."
A short while later, the ghost returned.
“I found it, it’s just 200 meters ahead of us. Turn left after 50 meters, then walk 30 meters, turn left again, then walk 20 meters, turn right, then turn right after 100 meters, then turn left after 20 meters.”
Yi Moxu mentally reviewed the route the ghost had described; he was in a secret room.
"Yes."
Yi Moxu nodded: "Then I remember correctly. If it's in a secret room, it'll be easy; we can just block it there."
After saying that, she turned to look at Gu Duo and Ye Qing'an: "Did you hear me clearly? Did you remember it?"
The two nodded in unison.
Yi Moxu nodded slightly: "Then let's begin."
Gu Duo raised his hand, and spiritual energy gathered in his palm. Soon, a wind arose.
The wind, however, seemed to have eyes and obeyed perfectly, swirling around the three of them.
"Walk."
Ye Qing'an threw the spiritual energy ball out, and it drifted away with the wind into the distance.
Turn left after 50 meters.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze quickly following the spiritual energy ball as she sensed her surroundings.
It was found very quickly...
The spirit energy ball was blown into the secret chamber by the wind, and a very thick black mist appeared before Ye Qing'an's eyes.
The blackness was so intense that Ye Qing'an could barely see what was happening in front of her.
Ye Qing'an's spiritual energy ball suddenly shattered, and an ice wall sealed the door to the secret chamber.
A chilling aura suddenly emanated from the room, causing ice to form around the chamber and gradually covering the walls with snow.
The black smoke was blown away by the wind, as if it were somewhat dizzy and disoriented.
They quickly solidified into human form.
It is indeed Liu Enze.
Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, exchanged a glance with Yi Moxu and Gu Duo, and then quickly walked over there.
"Liu Enze also possesses spiritual power and might target the ice-forged door."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she looked at Yi Moxu: "You should have scattered some of your spells earlier to make it easier to attack him. Now that the Ice Gate is complete, it won't be so easy..."
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he saw Yi Moxu gently pat the wall next to him. Then, a heavy thud was heard in the distance, followed by countless whooshing sounds in the air, and then clanging sounds.
It's so lively...
