I use the fox fairy to suppress all ghosts

About ten minutes after Kassan left, he reported his location to us: twenty miles north.

We didn't dare to delay any longer and quickened our pace, heading in the direction Kassan had indicated.

Everyone here is a cultivator, so they travel very fast.

Especially me, with a single Divine Firmament Nine Miles, I could teleport several miles away. Immediately, I led the slovenly Taoist priest and the little demon girl, and teleported ahead of time toward the place Kasang had mentioned.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the location that Kassan had mentioned.

However, when we arrived, we didn't see Kassan; he had already gone further away with the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary members.

A few of us went ahead first, while Zhang Qing'an and Brother Gu followed closely behind.

They were also quite fast walkers, trailing us by at most ten minutes or so.

When we arrived at this place, we were already on the edge of the city. After waiting for a while, Kassan sent another message, telling us to continue walking ten miles north.

So I led the two of them onward in that direction.

When we arrived at our destination, we were completely away from the city. In the distance, there was a lush old forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The slovenly Taoist priest took out the map Chen Shengcai had given us earlier, glanced at it, and said that this place was the route to the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary's lair.

It seems that those Crimson Sanctuary members we saw in the slums might actually have sent those children to the Crimson Sanctuary's lair.

We had just settled down when Kassan informed us again that the group from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary had reached the edge of the old forest and had stopped the car, seemingly waiting for someone. He had been keeping a close eye on their every move.

Upon hearing this, we activated our invisibility talismans and teleported towards where Kassan was.

A few minutes later, we met up with Kassan.

At that moment, Kassan was hiding behind a large tree, waiting for us.

Sensing our arrival, Kassan told us to look to the west.

The vehicles that the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary had previously used were parked near this old forest.

Each of those people was holding a baby, and the babies' cries rose and fell, making me somewhat irritated.

The little demon girl listened to the babies crying, her expression conflicted: "These babies are so pitiful..."

“Wife, everyone has their own destiny. We should save these babies if we can, and if we can’t, we shouldn’t worry about it too much. First and foremost, we need to ensure our own safety. In this place, survival is the most important thing,” the disheveled Taoist priest gently comforted the little demon girl.

As they were talking, a group of people suddenly emerged from the woods.

The group of people were all dressed in red robes, which covered their faces.

After the group of people came out, those from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary who were holding babies knelt down and raised the babies high in their hands.

The red-robed men took the baby from the other men's hands, said nothing, and turned to enter the dense jungle.

It was then that I realized that the babies collected from various places by the peripheral members of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary must have been sent to the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary's lair.

After handing the baby over to those people, they got back into their car and quickly drove away.

As soon as those people left, I said to Kassan, "Kassan, keep a close eye on those people who took the babies. Watch them closely and see where they go. Only if you follow them will you be the safest."

“Okay, Brother Angkor, I’ll leave a mark on the road. Follow me once you see the mark. I won’t report my location to you every now and then, as it’s easy to get lost in this old forest,” Kassan said in a low voice.

“Okay, be careful. I think these people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary are not simple. Although they are not some very powerful experts, don’t get too close to them.” I patted Kassan on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, I know what I'm doing." After saying this, Kassan instantly vanished into the void and followed the group of experts from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary.

We hid in the shadows and waited for a while, planning to leave together after Yuan Kong and Brother Gu arrived.

About ten minutes later, Brother Gu sent me a text message saying that we were very close to the old forest ahead.

I told Brother Gu that they should use invisibility talismans when they got close to the woods so they wouldn't be seen.

Deep within this vast, dense jungle lies the lair of the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary.

Even on the outermost perimeter, there should be someone responsible for surveillance. If their whereabouts are leaked, things will get complicated.

Fortunately, each of us has a large number of invisibility charms, and we have already made a huge investment to raid the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary's safe.

After a moment, we sensed someone approaching our hiding place.

"Xiao Jie, where are you guys?" Little Fatty called out in a low voice.

“We’re right here,” I replied.

Everyone greeted each other, and everyone had arrived.

"Has Kassan already gone in ahead of time?" Brother Gu asked in a low voice.

"Yes, a group of Crimson Shadow Sanctuary personnel just took away all the babies that the other group brought. I've asked Kassan to keep an eye on them. For the rest of the journey, we'll be using invisibility talismans the entire time. We can only reveal ourselves if we can find a hiding place or confirm that it's safe." I greeted everyone.

"Alright, let's go quickly. I'm worried about Kassan going alone," Brother Gu said.

Then, our group, using invisibility talismans, marched in a grand procession into the old forest ahead.

Jolo Island is a volcanic island with many extinct volcanoes. Its surface is mainly composed of tuff, volcanic ash, and other volcanic ejecta, giving it a unique jungle landscape.

Not long after we entered the jungle, we saw that the old forest was very dense with plants, all of which were tropical plants. The climate was hot and humid, and vines, ferns, and various epiphytes were layered on top of each other, forming a complex and vibrant ecosystem.

It is precisely because of the hot and humid climate here that many poisonous insects and snakes can breed. Large spiders can be seen hanging on the trees everywhere, and there are countless poisonous creatures such as snakes and scorpions.

Fortunately, we all had medicinal powder from Xue Family Pharmacy on us, which kept these poisonous insects at bay.

After walking a distance into the woods, I found a mark left by Kassan on a large tree—a "six" carved with a dagger!

This is the symbol of our Sixth Regiment.

Our group walked for three or four miles through the dense old forest without finding anyone, which made me relax a bit. So I released the spirit to scout ahead for us.
