On the outskirts of Lang City, Wang Linchi pitched a tent in a secluded, wind-sheltered spot.
It wasn't that he didn't want to enter the city; the main issue was the sheer number of ghosts he had with him. It was simply too difficult, especially with the Five Weird Ghosts, who were not only weak but also dim-witted, making the situation unmanageable.
What about leaving them outside and going in by myself?
That was impossible. If the Raksha Ghost and the Powerful Ghost King started fighting and ended up killing the Fox Ghost and the Five Weird Ghosts, what would I do then?
The Five Weird Ghosts were replaceable, but the Fox Ghost was a Home-keeping Immortal. The chances of finding another one so willing to cooperate were practically zero.
He did have control over the Raksha Ghost and the Powerful Ghost King, but this control was based on threats, not true manipulation of their bodies and minds.
So, to avoid any risks, he decided to bide his time outside the city for now.
