"Hmph! What a show! You think these weak skeletons can scare me off?" I scoffed dismissively, swinging my Demon-Subduing Staff mercilessly at the skeletons, effortlessly obliterating them.
I stowed away the Demon-Subduing Staff and continued toward the Figure, calling out loudly, "Hey there! I'm Jiang Ling, and I'm about to venture deep into the Ghost Realm. Are you interested in joining me?"
The Figure paused for a moment upon hearing my words, then burst into a fit of wild laughter. He stood up from his seat, looking at me with keen interest. "Ha! With your strength, you think you can explore the depths of the Ghost Realm? Are people today really so unaware of their own limitations?"
The Figure's smile faded as his gaze sharpened, scrutinizing my body. With an arrogant tone, he said, "Jiang Ling, it just so happens that I'm also planning to venture into the depths of the Ghost Realm. If you can reach my side, Shen Chunlan, I might consider accompanying you."
"Uh, is it really that simple? Just wait for me; I'll be right there!" I thought to myself as I noticed Shen Chunlan was only about twenty steps away. If I dashed over quickly, I could reach him in about ten seconds.
It seemed Shen Chunlan could see through my thoughts. He pulled out a peculiar artifact from his possession and coldly stated, "Jiang Ling, your confidence is amusing. But don't think I'll go easy on you; if you die here, don't blame me!"
I glanced at the artifact in Shen Chunlan's hand. It was half a meter long and resembled my Demon-Subduing Staff but had five or six protruding bumps that looked like skulls. The artifact was entirely black; though it appeared ordinary, it emanated a powerful Corpse Qi, indicating it was a formidable tool.
After taking out the artifact, Shen Chunlan began chanting incantations while striking the artifact with his hands in a seemingly profound manner.
Watching Shen Chunlan's actions, a glimmer of insight flashed in my eyes as I thought to myself: "From his demeanor, it's clear that Shen Chunlan is not just some Millennium Ghost General; he's clearly one of the brothers from the Dao! If I can build a good relationship with him, I can use him to open a passage to the outside world and escape the Ghost Realm!"
A wave of excitement surged within me; I never expected to find someone from the outside world here. It felt like an unexpected stroke of luck. A smile spread across my face as I said, "Shen Chunlan, I'm also from the Yang Realm. We're on the same side here; let's talk this over!"
At that moment, Shen Chunlan had completed his spell incantation. He looked up at me with an indifferent expression and said, "Jiang Ling, I know you're from the Yang Realm. However, if you want to associate with me, you'll have to prove your worth!"
"Come forth! My children, kill this person!" Shen Chunlan thrust the artifact into the ground and shouted. The earth before him began to tremble violently as five dark coffins emerged from beneath the soil, standing upright before me.
“Shen Chunlan, you are the Gravekeeper!” I looked at the coffin before me, sensing the powerful aura emanating from within, and instantly deduced Shen Chunlan's true identity. In my memory, only a Gravekeeper could summon a coffin out of thin air and raise Ghostly Beings inside it, commanding them to obey.
“No wonder so many skeletons crawled out here; it was you who summoned them!” I said through gritted teeth, gripping my Demon-Subduing Staff tightly, my gaze fixed nervously on the five coffins before me.
“Roar!” A series of growls erupted from inside the coffins. Soon, the lids were blasted off by the Ghostly Beings within, and five hulking shadows surged out, charging directly at me.
“What the hell, five Millennium Corpse Demons!” My face paled as I recognized the five rushing shadows. I quickly summoned my Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Buddha Manifestation to temporarily block the five Millennium Corpse Demons while I took this opportunity to retreat rapidly.
Although my strength had significantly increased, I could barely handle one Millennium Corpse Demon on my own. With five appearing at once, I dared not confront them head-on.
“Pfft~~” Less than a minute into the battle, my Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Buddha Manifestation was shattered. The backlash hit me hard; I felt a sweetness in my throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing my condition, disappointment flashed in Shen Chunlan's eyes. He snorted disdainfully and coldly said, “Hmph! Jiang Ling, didn’t you want to venture deep into the Ghost Realm? You can’t even handle these five Millennium Corpse Demons! If that’s the case, you might as well die at my hands to avoid suffering in the depths of the Ghost Realm!”
“Children, kill him!” Shen Chunlan showed no mercy as he commanded the five Millennium Corpse Demons to continue their assault on me.
Sensing the Cold Killing Intent radiating from the five Millennium Corpse Demons, a strong sense of life-and-death crisis surged within me. I quickly pressed my hand against the Soul Mask on my face and shouted, “Dog Treasure, wake up!”
As soon as I finished speaking, a powerful Evil Qi burst forth from the Soul Mask, and an aura of the Eternal Ghost King emanated from me, shaking the surroundings.
“Roar!” The five Millennium Corpse Demons were pushed back a few steps by my aura. However, they quickly regained their composure. Despite a flicker of fear in their eyes, they continued to charge at me under Shen Chunlan's command.
Harnessing Dog Treasure's power, I concentrated all the Evil Qi into my arms. As I faced the approaching five Millennium Corpse Demons, a murderous intent flashed in my eyes. Coldly, I declared, “You dare come closer? Then prepare to die!”
I swayed my body and quickly dashed in front of the five Millennium Corpse Demons, reaching out to strike their chests. With ease, I pierced through their bodies.
"Roar!" The five Millennium Corpse Demons let out painful howls, their eyes flickering with fear. After sustaining heavy damage, their bodies became sluggish, standing dazed and motionless.
I could have directly shattered the Spirit Cover of these five Millennium Corpse Demons, sending their souls scattering. However, considering that I still needed to cooperate with Shen Chunlan, I only inflicted severe injuries on them.
I dispersed the Evil Qi from my arms and looked up at Shen Chunlan not far away, speaking in a calm tone, "Shen Chunlan, am I now qualified to talk to you?"
