Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: The Ninth Princess is Missing! Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: The Ninth Princess is Missing! “`


    Huang Xiaolong cradled the hellish black cat in his arms and turned his back, beginning to count.


    Treasure Hunters were extremely cooperative with Huang Xiaolong.


    This little game seemed to have stirred the long-dormant childlike hearts of these once high and mighty beings!


    By the time Huang Xiaolong counted to thirty, all the Treasure Hunters had hidden their tracks.


    After finishing the count, Huang Xiaolong turned around with a smile.


    Ahead, a dense forest loomed, dark and seemingly bottomless. The wind rustled through the trees with a sizzling sound, like thousands of demons clapping hands. On this quiet night, it was particularly spine-chilling.


    “Ha ha ha ha~~ All hidden well? Here I come to find you,” proclaimed Huang Xiaolong with a boisterous voice and then strode into the forest.


    Muttering the Fire Bell Spell, he illuminated the entire forest.


    Huang Xiaolong, cat in arms, leisurely searched for the well-hidden Treasure Hunters.


    Then, Huang Xiaolong came to a crooked old tree.


    In the firelight, the old tree’s vines were verdant green, exuding strands of Immortal Spirit Qi.


    “Ha ha ha ha~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily, slapped the trunk, “Alright, Sword Immortal Emperor, your Illusion Technique isn’t half bad, but unfortunately, you haven’t completely concealed your aura. This tree at first glance is no ordinary tree, like a divine tree. Only a supreme Immortal Emperor like you could have transformed into it~~”


    “Eh~~” The crooked old tree let out a startled groan, and at once, Immortal Qi erupted, rippling in waves.


    The next second, the crooked old tree transformed back into the Sword Immortal Emperor.


    It turned out, the tree was actually the Sword Immortal Emperor in disguise.


    “Huang Xiaolong, your insights are really sharp. You managed to find me like this~~” The Sword Immortal Emperor shook his head with a wry smile.


    “Hm~~ I’ve found one already. Everyone, hide well, I’m going to keep searching~~” Huang Xiaolong smiled and immediately stretched out his hand, snatching down a bird’s nest perched on a tree.


    Inside the nest, three little fledglings were crying for food.


    “Three Profound Immortals, you’re quite creative~~” Huang Xiaolong grinned.


    Soon, the three fledglings changed back into the figures of three Profound Immortals.


    Huang Xiaolong found four Immortals in a very short time.


    Now, only the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, two Profound Immortals, the Third Crown Prince, and the Ninth Princess were left undiscovered.


    But Huang Xiaolong was in no hurry and continued his leisurely search.


    The Sword Immortal Emperor and others followed behind Huang Xiaolong with joy, also aiding in the search.


    After a round, Huang Xiaolong suddenly stopped in his tracks, stomping his right foot, “Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, your Earth Escape Technique is truly masterful. It took a good while to find you.”


    “Ha ha ha ha~~ Impressive, impressive~~ Huang Xiaolong, even I can’t fool you~~” came the voice of the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor from beneath the ground.


    A patch of ground suddenly collapsed, and the towering figure of the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor slowly emerged.


    A little while later, Huang Xiaolong picked two fruits from a tree.


    These two fruits were actually two Profound Immortals in disguise.


    It must be said… these Profound Immortals, including the Sword Immortal Emperor and the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor, are each more creative than the last!


    Well, now, two Immortal Emperors and five Profound Immortals have all been found by Huang Xiaolong.


    Only two dragons remain.


    Huang Xiaolong’s soul power was extremely formidable; his divine sense had long since enveloped the forest. No rustle of leaf or blade of grass could escape his senses.


    To be honest, finding these Immortals had been relatively easy.


    But–


    Searching high and low, he could not find the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess!


    Huang Xiaolong frowned.


    “Can’t find them? Could it be…”


    The other Immortals, including the Sword Immortal Emperor, also joined Huang Xiaolong in the search.


    They, too, found no trace of the two dragons.


    “Huang Xiaolong, according to you, could it really be that a ghost, unable to resist its solitude, has joined the game?” the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor exclaimed perplexed. “But, didn’t you say only one person would be shrouded by a ghost and remain unfound by you. Yet now, both the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess are gone~~ Could it be, there are two ghosts?”


    “It’s possible,” nodded Huang Xiaolong. At the same time, he was somewhat displeased inside.


    He had a close relationship with the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess and didn’t want to see them targeted by ghosts.


    Initially, Huang Xiaolong had thought if the ghost really came to play hide-and-seek, it wouldn’t necessarily target the two dragons.


    With many Immortals around, it was more probable for the ghost to shroud one of them instead.


    But looking at the situation now… it seemed likely that the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess were the unlucky ones!


    “Let’s keep searching.” With a thought, a dragon’s might roared out from within Huang Xiaolong and surged forth!


    Having consummated a marital relationship with the Seventh Princess, Huang Xiaolong had inherited quite a bit of pure dragon’s breath.


    Now, releasing the dragon’s breath, he let it sense the presence of the Third Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess.


    The dragon’s breath swirled out from Huang Xiaolong, weaving through the dense forest.


    Huang Xiaolong followed behind it.


    After a good while, suddenly, the dragon’s breath halted beside a tree.


    Underneath was a small puddle of water, bathed in moonlight that shimmered with a lustrous sheen.


    “Oh~~~ found it, ha ha ha ha! To think it transformed into a drop of water!” Huang Xiaolong laughed loudly.


    “Ha ha ha ha~~ Brother-in-law~~ with you releasing the dragon’s breath, of course, you could sense me,” laughed the sonorous voice of the Third Crown Prince.


    “`


    Droplets twisted and green smoke rose straight up; a dragon’s roar echoed, and the Third Crown Prince’s lofty figure appeared in front of Huang Xiaolong.


    “How’d it go? Found them all?” The Third Crown Prince stretched his limbs and asked.


    “Just missing the Ninth Princess,” Huang Xiaolong shrugged.


    “What? Ninth sister? You haven’t found her yet?” A slight shock went through the Third Crown Prince’s heart.


    “Don’t worry, we’ll keep looking,” Huang Xiaolong consoled. “It’s not necessarily the case that a ghost shrouded the Ninth Princess. In fact, I’m not even sure now if that ghost has quietly joined our game.”


    At that moment, the Third Crown Prince calmed down and his emotions also stabilized a bit, “No matter, the Ninth Princess possesses the noble bloodline of the Dragon King, even if a little ghost did attach itself to her, that would be courting death! Dragon might can break through all evil, extinguishing all magic!”


    “That is true,” the Immortal Emperor of the Ten Thousand Swords firmly agreed.


    “Let’s keep searching,” Huang Xiaolong released dozens more dragon spirits.


    Dragon spirits swirled about, full of Spiritual Energy, dispersing in all directions to seek out the Ninth Princess’s aura.


    At the same time, Huang Xiaolong’s divine sense also swept back and forth through the dense forest, like windshield wipers clearing the view.


    However–


    After a long while, they still could not find the Ninth Princess!


    “Could it be that the ghost really has sneaked in!” The Third Crown Prince became somewhat irritated. “How preposterous! To dare harm my ninth sister!”


    Although the Third Crown Prince’s spirit had been drained due to the influence of the queen’s burial treasure, his rage peaked when his own sister found herself in a disadvantageous situation.


    “Huang Xiaolong, what do you say?” the Immortal Emperor of the Ten Thousand Swords looked at Huang Xiaolong with some confusion.


    Huang Xiaolong sneered, “What can I say? Clearly, that ghost really does enjoy playing–our game has successfully attracted her–she’s playing along with us–”


    Now, Huang Xiaolong was one hundred percent certain that the ghost had joined their game of hide-and-seek. And of all the choices, she had chosen to shroud the Ninth Princess, eluding Huang Xiaolong’s search!


    Upon hearing this, the Treasure Hunters involuntarily began looking around.


    A cold wind blew, and the temperature in the forest suddenly dropped.


    “That ghost is not to be underestimated–,” said the Profound Immortal who had almost been torn apart by a ghost earlier, still with lingering fear. “A single fingernail can kill us all–everyone–be careful–”


    The Treasure Hunters were also somewhat silent.


    They had long since lost their heroic spirits, becoming complacent and soft, fortune-fattened weaklings, one more cowardly than the next.


    “Now that she’s here, we can’t let her go again! This realm should also come to an end–,” Huang Xiaolong’s pupils narrowed slightly. “Capture her, get the key, and all will be well!”


    After a pause, Huang Xiaolong turned to the already anxious Third Crown Prince, “Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll ensure your sister-in-law’s safety. Even if she truly encounters disaster, as long as a single soul strand remains, I can resurrect her!”


    As the Yin Emperor, Huang Xiaolong made such a promise with confidence.


    Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s assurance, the Third Crown Prince’s agitated mood finally calmed somewhat, and he nodded faintly, “Brother-in-law, what should we do now?”


    Meow~~~!


    The black cat in Huang Xiaolong’s arms let out an inexplicable sharp cry.


    Huang Xiaolong gently stroked the fur on the black cat’s neck and smiled, “Since that ghost has also decided to play along, this black cat can be put to use–she’s covered up the Ninth Princess, now, I’ll release the black cat, and it will lead the way to find her!”


    Having said that, Huang Xiaolong loosened his grip and placed the black cat on the ground.


    The black cat meowed again, turning into a black arrow as it swiftly darted forward.


    Huang Xiaolong reacted swiftly, immediately following the black cat and said, “This black cat has sensed the Ninth Princess and that ghost’s scents already–let’s go–”


    “Let’s go!” The Third Crown Prince, with the Immortal Emperor of the Ten Thousand Swords and others, hastily followed behind Huang Xiaolong.


    The black cat ran through the dense forest as if it knew the way.


    It occasionally looked back at Huang Xiaolong, then turned and ran again, as if afraid Huang Xiaolong would lose track of it!


    As they followed the black cat’s rush through the forest, two rows of eerie red lights abruptly appeared in front of them!


    A pathway gradually came into view!


    “What’s going on? How could a pathway appear in this dense forest?” the Immortal Emperor of the Ten Thousand Swords exclaimed in confusion.


    It was necessary to realize that they had already searched throughout the forest repeatedly before and had not found any pathway.


    But now, a pathway appeared out of nowhere…


    Very strange indeed!


    “Oh, it’s a ghost’s deception,” Huang Xiaolong laughed carelessly. “Not bad, Hell’s Black Cat has indeed found the ghost’s trace–a ghost’s trick of this level is quite powerful, even capable of deceiving an Immortal Emperor–”


    On both sides of the pathway floated blood-red lanterns.


    The lanterns emitted a demonic glow like the blood-drenched eyes of devils!


    The end of this pathway was pitch black, profound, with no clear indication of where it led!


    The cat seemed to sense something and, with a swoosh, darted into the end of the pathway, like diving into an abyss of no return.


    The next moment–


    Meow~~~~~~~~!!


    The black cat let out a piercing scream!


    The sound was very brief.

    And then it abruptly stopped!


    “Damn it! To act up under my watch? It’s like digging on the grave of Tai Sui!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were icy as his form turned into a streak of light, and he directly pursued into the end of the pathway where the little black cat had vanished.


    Watching Huang Xiaolong’s figure disappear into the darkness, the Third Crown Prince was the first to rush forward.


    The Immortal Emperor of the Ten Thousand Swords and the others exchanged glances and also followed suit!
