In the depths of the Ghost Realm stood a high mountain, home to a Nine-Thousand-Year Ghost General. Within its confines gathered thousands of Ghostly Beings, with over a hundred Millennium Ghost Generals among them.
This force bore the title of Evil Warden, and the leader, the Nine-Thousand-Year Ghost General, was known as the Warden.
At that moment, a Millennium Ghost General stood at the edge of the Evil Warden's territory. This Millennium Ghost General was a rare female ghost, strikingly beautiful and quite uncommon in this Ghost Realm. She was none other than Wang Fengmei, the Millennium Ghost General who had been driven out of the Valley by Shen Chunlan and her companions. Wang Fengmei was also a secret mistress of the Warden.
"Those two Stinky Taoists dared to attack me! I will make them pay!" Wang Fengmei's eyes glinted with murderous intent as she cursed under her breath. After a moment, her expression returned to normal. She took a deep breath, smiled lightly, adjusted her clothing, and then strode toward Grave Hill.
"Stop! Who are you?" As Wang Fengmei reached the foot of Tomb Mountain, a patrol of Vengeful Spirits surrounded her, brandishing their Ghost Weapons and exuding an air of menace.
Wang Fengmei remained calm in front of the Vengeful Spirits, unfazed by their imposing presence. She reached into her belongings and pulled out a wooden token, on which a blood-red character for 'prison' was engraved alongside a fierce ghostly face.
"This is my Prison King Token. I am here to see the Warden. Step aside!" Wang Fengmei declared arrogantly, waving the token in front of her while casting a cold glance at the Vengeful Spirits.
The Prison King Token was issued by the Warden to his subordinates as a symbol of identity, representing upper management within the Evil Warden organization.
Since its establishment, the Warden had granted thirteen Prison King Tokens in total, and Wang Fengmei held one of them.
"Indeed, it is a Prison King Token! Please proceed up the mountain!" Upon seeing Wang Fengmei's token, the expressions of the Vengeful Spirits shifted to one of reverence. They quickly parted ways to create a path leading up the mountain and bowed respectfully to Wang Fengmei without any hint of negligence.
"Hmph! I'll let you off this time! But if you dare block my way again, you'll regret it!" Wang Fengmei snorted coldly as she tucked away her token and continued toward Grave Hill.
After what felt like an eternity, using her Prison King Token, Wang Fengmei finally reached the summit of the mountain. There lay an open plaza resembling a sports arena.
The plaza was filled with fragments of Pure Yin Stone, saturating the area with pure Eerie Energy. All Millennium Ghost Generals within the Evil Warden were seated there, greedily absorbing the surrounding Eerie Energy.
"Fengmei, what brings you here? Has something happened?" As Wang Fengmei approached the edge of the plaza, she caught the attention of the Warden seated at its center. He rose from his seat and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Wang Fengmei was cared for by the Warden; for her safety, he had even carved out a Valley on the outskirts of the Ghost Realm for her. Every ten days or so, he would bring her some Pure Yin Stones for cultivation and visit her to enjoy some time together.
Warden was puzzled. He had just visited Wang Fengmei a few days ago and warned her not to come looking for him unless it was something important. Yet now, here she was, standing right in front of him, prompting his question.
"Warden, you have to help me! Boohoo~~ Two Stinky Taoists took over the Valley you gave me, beat me up, and then kicked me out! Boohoo~~ Warden, you must avenge me and make them pay!" After locking eyes with Warden, Wang Fengmei's eyes turned red instantly, tears streaming down her face as she put on a pitiful expression.
Seeing Wang Fengmei like this, Warden swayed slightly and appeared beside her in an instant. He pulled her into his embrace, wiping away her tears with a heavy hand. His voice was dark as he said, "Who dares to treat you like this? Fengmei, don’t worry; I will definitely make them pay for this!"
Warden had developed a force deep within the Ghost Realm, and his depth of character was unfathomable. Although he claimed he would avenge Wang Fengmei, no one knew what he truly thought.
"Fengmei, stop crying. Tell me everything that happened in the Valley so I can analyze it properly!" Warden said with a wicked smile on his face. His hands began to roam over Wang Fengmei's body, causing her to tremble and stop crying. She hesitantly began to explain the situation regarding Shen Chunlan and the others.
After about twenty minutes of questioning from Warden, Wang Fengmei revealed everything she knew. In order to make Shen Chunlan and the others seem more despicable, she unconsciously exaggerated their actions and even fabricated some events that never happened.
Warden saw through Wang Fengmei's tricks at a glance but chose not to expose her. Instead, his eyes sparkled with insight as he calmly said, "From what you've told me, I can already guess the identities of those two. You've done a great service this time!"
Wang Fengmei's expression turned puzzled upon hearing Warden's words. She asked, "Warden, do you know those two?"
"Heh heh, not only do I know them, but there are at least twenty or thirty forces in the depths of the Ghost Realm trying to track them down!" Warden replied as he held Wang Fengmei close and walked back to the center of the square. He explained to her, "A month ago, three Taoists were cultivating deep within the Ghost Realm. When they encountered Ghostly Beings, they struck without mercy, causing chaos throughout the realm."
"Once, I took my subordinates to fight for Yinling Flowers and happened to run into those three Taoists. We fought fiercely, but we lost twelve Millennium Ghost Generals and over two hundred Vengeful Spirits in the process. Those three Taoists killed my subordinates and escaped from our encirclement without even considering us Evil Wardens!"
At this point, Warden's expression turned furious as a powerful killing intent radiated from him. He squeezed Wang Fengmei tightly for a moment to calm himself down.
"Mm~~" Wang Fengmei sensed the Cold Killing Intent and let out a soft hum while trembling. She endured the pain but dared not interrupt Warden.
Warden ignored Wang Fengmei's reaction and squeezed her again before continuing, "However, those three Taoists' luck didn't last long. Not long ago, during another attempt to seize Yinling Flowers, they were targeted by two Eternal Ghost Kings. Once those two Eternal Ghost Kings made their move, they easily inflicted serious injuries on them and wiped out a Ten Thousand Year Corpse King."
"In order to survive, one of the Taoists stayed behind and fought desperately against the two Eternal Ghost Kings to buy time for the other two to escape from the Ghost Realm."
"The two Taoists who escaped were severely injured. They were being hunted by forces deep within the Ghost Realm, and in the end, no one knows where they fled. If I’m not mistaken, the two Taoists you encountered are likely them!" As the Warden spoke, his killing intent intensified. He pushed Wang Fengmei away from him and said in a chilling tone, "Although I don't know why those two Taoists let you go, we definitely need to pay a visit to that Valley!"
The Warden scanned the square, where all the Millennium Ghost Generals stood up and orderly approached him, exuding a strong aura of menace. With a wave of his hand, the Warden shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's take a walk around the outskirts of the Ghost Realm and find those two Taoists to avenge our fallen Brothers!"
"Yes, Warden!" the Millennium Ghost Generals roared in unison, their momentum soaring as their voices echoed throughout the mountain.
The Warden looked at his subordinates with satisfaction and nodded. "Good! Go gather your men immediately. We will set off together in thirty minutes!"
Soon, the Millennium Ghost Generals dispersed to summon their subordinates. The Warden watched them leave, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Those three Taoists took away a third of the Yinling Flowers. As long as I obtain those Yinling Flowers and combine them with my years of preparation, this time I will surely break through my limits and become an Eternal Ghost King!"
Meanwhile, Shen Chunlan and I were completely unaware of the Warden's plans. We sat at a table chatting casually. After listening to Shen Chunlan's account, I learned about their previous adventures deep within the Ghost Realm; they were indeed the three Taoists mentioned by the Warden.
After hearing Shen Chunlan's story, my gaze towards him turned respectful. I never expected that they could escape from two Eternal Ghost Kings.
Shen Chunlan was a Gravekeeper. Although he could control the Ten Thousand Year Corpse King, it only possessed a killing instinct without true consciousness. Therefore, the power he could wield through it was nowhere near comparable to that of a Ten Thousand Year Corpse King with self-awareness.
Moreover, when Shen Chunlan controlled the Ten Thousand Year Corpse King, his own magical energy depleted rapidly. Given his current strength, without the support of Enlightenment Tea, he could summon only one Ten Thousand Year Corpse King for at most three minutes.
Earlier, when Shen Chunlan summoned a Ten Thousand Year Corpse King to duel with me, the fight exceeded three minutes entirely due to his use of Enlightenment Tea to replenish his magical energy while battling me.
If he truly encountered an Eternal Ghost King, Shen Chunlan could last at most five minutes with his abilities. As for me, even with the power of Dog Treasure, I could only hold out for five minutes at most. Thus, I believed it was quite remarkable that Shen Chunlan and his companions managed to escape from two Eternal Ghost Kings.
I turned to look at the wooden house nearby and asked, "Shen Chunlan, when will that expert inside come out?"
The expert inside was Bai Bufan, a Maoshan Master who had previously appeared in Mianyang, Sichuan. At that time, he had gone there with his girlfriend Chen Qianhe to rescue Wu Jingye before they both ventured into the Ghost Realm.
By coincidence, Shen Chunlan encountered Bai Bufan in a Demon and Dao Battlefield deep within the Ghost Realm. After a duel that led to mutual respect, they formed an alliance and began exploring together in the depths of the Ghost Realm, even teaming up to compete for Yinling Flowers. Thus began their subsequent adventures.
Shen Chunlan heard my words and turned to look at the wooden house not far away. He shook his head and sighed before speaking, "Jiang Ling, actually, Bai Bufan's injuries have long since healed. The real difficulty lies in the wounds in his heart."
"Bai Bufan's girlfriend sacrificed herself to save us both. At that moment, Bai Bufan was unwilling to leave. If I hadn't been pulling him away, he would have definitely stayed with her."
At this point, Shen Chunlan's expression darkened. His eyes filled with guilt as he gazed at the wooden house, and he said remorsefully, "Looking back on that scene, I feel terrible inside. I realize I was nothing but a coward, letting a girl face danger for me while I lacked the courage to confront it! I owe Bai Bufan an apology, and even more so to Chen Qianhe!"
"Although Chen Qianhe fought bravely against those two Eternal Ghost Kings, her final fate is likely one of near death!"
As Shen Chunlan finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes; he was genuinely heartbroken. After hearing his words, I didn't know how to comfort him. I could only reach out and pat Shen Chunlan's shoulder, saying, "Shen Chunlan, don't be so pessimistic. Chen Qianhe chose to stay; she must have had some plan in mind. It's possible she's still alive!"
"That's right! Qianhe is alive; she will definitely not die here! We must always be together!" At that moment, a voice came from inside the wooden house. With a creaking sound, the door swung open, and Bai Bufan stepped out.
I turned to take a closer look at Bai Bufan. He was wearing a yellow Daoist robe that had become tattered and was stained with black blood, looking very dirty and disheveled.
What surprised me most was that although Bai Bufan appeared young and handsome, his hair was white, creating a stark contrast that seemed out of place, reminiscent of a white-haired witch from a movie.
Shen Chunlan knew that Bai Bufan's hair had previously been black, but now it had turned white. He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly as he said, "Bai Bufan, why do you have to go through this?"
