77: Chapter 77 Entering the Ghost Realm

"General Ye, please come with me."

"Now?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better. The Seal there puts immense pressure on the Daoist Sect." Ji Xingyue did not hide the truth and revealed the difficulties faced by the Daoist Sect.

The resources required to suppress the Ghost Race were simply too great.

Although the entire city of Yunzhong did not support any Martial Practitioners.

Most of its Cultivation resources were still being consumed beneath Mount Taihua.

Furthermore.

As time passed, the demand of the locking Formation beneath Mount Taihua continued to grow, and the entire city of Yunzhong could barely afford to maintain it anymore.

Ye Xiu nodded.

Since he had already accepted the items, he wouldn't dawdle. After greeting An Qingyi beside him, he soared into the air.

He followed Ji Xingyue's back and flew toward Mount Taihua.

They were moving very fast.

Even though Mount Taihua was located in the inner city hundreds of miles away, it only took them a few minutes to reach the main peak.

The entire mountain was guarded by heavy troops; besides preventing ordinary people from accidentally wandering in, they also had the duty of reporting any anomalies at any time.

Snap.

With a snap of her fingers.

A space rift several meters long materialized out of thin air and instantly swallowed them both.

Ye Xiu did not resist.

He knew this was Ji Xingyue's Way of Time and Space.

As the aura of heaven and earth shifted, the two of them arrived beneath Mount Taihua.

In the empty rocky cavern, a pitch-black passage lay in the central area, locked within three pillars of light arranged in a triangular Formation.

"Inside the passage is the Ghost Realm."

Ji Xingyue approached the pillars of light first and began to perform complex unlocking techniques.

Ye Xiu observed the cavern.

After a long while.

He didn't find anything unusual, not even a trace of strange aura leaked from the containment, which made him somewhat surprised by the Daoist Sect's Seal techniques.

Another few minutes passed.

A gap slowly appeared in the locking Formation.

"Let's go."

Ji Xingyue called out softly.

Pulling Ye Xiu, who had come to her side, she stepped directly into the Seal Formation.

Swoosh...

The terrifying, strange rules were extremely overbearing.

The moment they entered the Formation, they surged out immediately from the deep, dark passage.

"Interesting."

Ye Xiu snorted softly, a silver-white light flickered faintly, and his [Martial Domain] instantly appeared, enveloping them both.

"General, your strength is truly unfathomable."

Ji Xingyue looked at the invisible aura covering her body, a hint of surprise on her pretty face. Apart from her Way of Time and Space, all other rules she controlled were suppressed within her body, unable to be used at all.

"It's your turn."

Ye Xiu didn't say much else.

He looked at the pitch-black passage not far away, a trace of solemnity on his face.

Is this the entrance to the Ghost Realm?

Ji Xingyue nodded, light flickering in her double pupils.

As that light appeared, although they didn't pass through the passage, their bodies disappeared directly from the cavern.

A world of endless darkness.

Two figures suddenly appeared, causing a ripple of anomaly in the otherwise quiet darkness.

Roar...

An unknown roar echoed.

Clatter, clatter, clatter...

Chaotic running sounds echoed in the darkness.

"Seeking death."

Ye Xiu scanned the surroundings coldly; his blood energy transformed into Saber Qi, exploding outwards in all directions.

Puchi...

The sound of Saber Qi piercing into flesh was continuous.

Terrifying wails sounded, which were extremely chilling.

Clatter, clatter, clatter...

The one-sided slaughter seemed to attract many large monsters; their heavy footsteps made the ground tremble slightly.

As the strange-looking species approached one by one.

Ye Xiu couldn't be bothered with words. He stomped his foot, his speed akin to teleportation, and his fists, wreathed in blood energy, struck out repeatedly.

Boom...

A continuous series of explosions rang out.

Those large monsters that charged in were all slaughtered within just a few seconds.

"Brute..."

Ji Xingyue muttered to herself.

Then she spoke, "General, the Ghost King is not here. Shall we go and take a look ahead?"

Although her words were a question.

She was already walking quickly toward the east.

Ye Xiu didn't speak.

When he killed these Ghost Race members, his body became contaminated with quite a bit of strange aura.

His blood energy surged.

All the strange aura was instantly burned away.

After dealing with the anomalies on his body, he took a step and chased after her.

On the way.

Ye Xiu's expression was somewhat ugly.

He kept feeling that a pair of malicious eyes was staring at him.

But no matter how he perceived it, he still couldn't discover where that gaze was coming from.

Boom.

[Martial Domain] erupted completely.

A silver-white cross pattern appeared in his pupils.

In the darkness, the strange rules materialized and were reflected in his vision. He scanned for a long time, but still couldn't find the source of that gaze.

"Dammit, something ghostly is spying in the dark."

"The General can sense it?"

"Obviously, that malice isn't hidden at all."

Obviously?

Ji Xingyue clearly had never been scolded before; a flash of unnaturalness crossed her face.

After adjusting her emotions.

She said, "In the Ghost Realm, there are many unknown things, and this gaze is one of them."

"You know?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I once tried to track it, but that gaze seems to come from the deepest part of the Ghost Realm. The deeper one goes, the more terrifying things there are, so I didn't dare to continue exploring."

"Forget it. Since it hasn't caused any harm, just stay alert."

The two flew at a low altitude.

A vast and boundless dark world.

In the high sky a hundred meters above, the terrifying, strange rules had almost solidified, making them afraid to step there easily.

After flying for more than ten minutes.

Ji Xingyue suddenly spoke, "We are almost at the area where the Ghost King resides. General, I will control it, and you must block the other things for me."

"Control?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat surprised.

Control is not the same as killing; the difficulty coefficient is too high.

Ji Xingyue smiled faintly.

Her stunningly beautiful face, even in this dim and strange world, made Ye Xiu, who was beside her, couldn't help but look for a few more seconds.

"General, I once fought that Ghost King. It's just a pity that there are too many strange things in this world. Those who had the combat power to help me didn't have the guts to come in, which is why it has dragged on until today."

"Is it very dangerous?"

Ye Xiu heard something different.

The Daoist Sect and the noble families are not weak.

Even they dare not come in; there must be great danger.

"With the General's strength, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Ji Xingyue said dismissively after obliterating a charging Ghost Race member from a distance. She seemed very dissatisfied with certain people in the Daoist Sect and the noble families.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu.

Immediately knew what the situation was.

The current noble families and the Daoist Sect were still mainly controlled by the older generation. They were accustomed to a life of power and status and generally would not easily step into dangerous places.

No wonder Ji Xingyue had such a big prejudice against the older generation.

It turned out the problem was here.
