About two hours later, following the map given to me by Lin Hanyu, I finally arrived at the place where we had previously parted ways.
"Damn it, where did the Gate of the Underworld go?" I stared at the empty space before me, feeling increasingly frustrated. Although I had heard from Lin Hanyu that the Gate of the Underworld would move periodically, there was no pattern to it. I never expected to encounter such a situation.
I shook my head and muttered in exasperation, "Sigh! It looks like I'll just have to wait here for Lin Hanyu!"
I had previously discussed with Lin Hanyu that if we encountered the Gate of the Underworld moving, I would simply wait here for him. Once he emerged from the Gate of the Underworld, he would naturally come looking for me.
According to our agreement, I would wait here for a while. If Lin Hanyu still hadn't shown up by then, it might mean something unfortunate had happened to him. In that case, I would have to find a way to leave the Ghost Realm on my own and return to the Yang Realm.
Bored, I sat down on the ground, occasionally glancing around in hopes that Lin Hanyu would appear.
Time passed quickly; an hour blinked by, but Lin Hanyu still hadn’t shown up.
"Damn it! Is Lin Hanyu really not coming?" I stood up from the ground, my brows furrowing as my mood darkened. It seemed that Lin Hanyu wouldn’t be appearing after all. I would have to rely on my own abilities to find another way out of here.
I shook my head and reached up to touch the Soul Mask on my face, muttering to myself, "That useless Lin Hanyu must be trying to set me up! But thankfully, Dog Treasure has successfully refined this Soul Mask, and its power has already reached the level of an Eternal Ghost King. As long as I keep my wits about me in the Ghost Realm, I should be fine."
Rubbing my chin thoughtfully for a moment, I said, "All I need to do is find a Living Person in the Ghost Realm. Then, through their Spell, I can open a passage back to the Yang Realm. Once that's done, I'll be able to leave this place!"
With a plan in mind, I left a note on the ground and departed from there, heading toward another area of the Ghost Realm.
After more than an hour of searching around the outskirts of the Ghost Realm and revisiting places I'd been before, I had nearly scoured the entire perimeter but still hadn’t found a single Living Person.
Standing in place with a gloomy expression, I muttered to myself, "No way! Could it be that all those Living Persons have gone deeper into the Ghost Realm?"
I shook my head, feeling reluctant to venture deep into the Ghost Realm, as it was far too dangerous. However, in order to leave the Ghost Realm, I had no choice but to steel myself and explore its depths.
The Ghost Realm was a closed space, somewhat similar to Spirit Ghost Street. To enter or exit the Ghost Realm, one needed a specific Spell to open the passage; otherwise, it was impossible to leave.
Just as I was about to enter the depths of the Ghost Realm, I suddenly saw a group of Vengeful Spirits flying toward me. I roughly counted them; there were over twenty Vengeful Spirits, with the highest cultivation level being only seven hundred years. For me at this moment, they posed no threat at all.
Before long, the group of Vengeful Spirits surrounded me. One of them pointed at me and said to the strongest among them, "Boss, it's this guy! He just attacked me! You have to help me get revenge!"
I glanced at the Vengeful Spirit who spoke and recalled that he had been following me earlier. I had dealt with him by giving him a good beating and sending him away, but I never expected he would come back seeking revenge.
I lightly shook my head, drew my Demon-Subduing Staff, and gripped it tightly in my hand. With a calm tone, I said, "Hmph, it seems my lesson earlier wasn't enough for you. You dare come back for more? This time, I won't hold back!"
When I had previously dealt with that Vengeful Spirit, I had only used my Daoist and Buddhist Powers without relying on the Dog Treasure's strength. Therefore, that Vengeful Spirit was unaware of my hidden abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to bring others along.
The leader of the Vengeful Spirits sensed that my aura wasn't very strong. He snorted coldly and declared with a fierce demeanor, "Hmph! You little brat! Seeing me here, you still dare to act so arrogantly? Are you looking for death?"
"Brothers, follow me! Everyone attack together and beat him to death!" The leader waved his hand dramatically and transformed into a blur as he charged toward me. The other Vengeful Spirits also revealed their claws and rushed at me.
"Damn it! So many of you are ganging up on me—how shameless!" I cursed loudly and quickly summoned Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from my Dantian to protect myself while channeling my Buddhist Power to execute a Buddhist Staff Technique.
"The Buddhist Sect teaches that all beings have spirits! Life and death are determined by fate; all things coexist! Descend from the celestial mountains and return to your homeland! Evil spirits cling to dust and harm living beings! Fall into the Suffering Sea; turning back is salvation! Summoning Buddha's Law—Awakening Buddha's Staff! Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a brilliant light radiated from my Demon-Subduing Staff, instantly repelling the Vengeful Spirits in front of me.
The leader of the Vengeful Spirits saw my technique and his eyes sparkled with greed as he laughed heartily. "Haha! So this brat is just a stinky monk! Brothers, let's kill him; then we can feast on monk meat!"
"Yes, Boss!" the group of Vengeful Spirits shouted excitedly as they closed in on me again, their attacks becoming increasingly vicious, and I found it harder to fend them off.
"Hmph! You think you can feast on my flesh? You're just dreaming!" I scoffed. Although I looked quite disheveled, it was intentional; I wanted to use the attacks from these Vengeful Spirits to hone my Spell. Of course, if I tapped into the power of the Eternal Ghost King through Dog Treasure, I could eliminate these Vengeful Spirits in an instant.
After repelling a Vengeful Spirit with my Demon-Subduing Staff, I quickly drew my Rusty Sword and swiftly formed a Spell with my left hand, shouting loudly, "Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods, Exorcise Demons and Eliminate Spirits, Three Pure Ones Bestow Divine Power! Spirit Severing Technique, command!"
As soon as my words fell, a flash of white sword light sliced through the air and struck one of the Vengeful Spirits, scattering its soul into oblivion.
"Ah! Stinky Taoist, I'm going to kill you!" The Vengeful Spirits were taken aback by my ability to wield magic. Seeing their companion slain only drove them into a frenzy, their attacks becoming even more violent.
I remained unfazed, continuously shifting my Spells and calmly countering the onslaught from the group of Vengeful Spirits.
After more than ten minutes, I had slain half of the Vengeful Spirits surrounding me, leaving only twelve still alive. However, my Buddhist Power and Daoist Magic were nearly depleted. Supporting myself with the Demon-Subduing Staff, I gasped for breath; my stamina had reached its limit.
The leader of the remaining Vengeful Spirits glared at me with a venomous look. Its expression twisted as it said, "You wretched being! You've killed so many of my brothers! I will make you wish you were never born!"
