On the other side, I stepped through the wooden door and found myself in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by a thick white mist that obscured my vision, making it difficult to see my surroundings.
"How strange, what is this place? Why is there so much white mist?" I frowned and quickly took out my Demon-Subduing Staff, carefully observing the area around me.
I looked up and saw nothing but a blank expanse above, with neither the sun nor the moon visible. To be honest, this environment resembled the Ghost Realm I had visited before; however, while the Ghost Realm was shrouded in a gray haze filled with pure Eerie Energy, this space was filled with actual water vapor.
"I, Jiang Bao, am right here waiting for you. Anyone who dares to take my Seven Star Mysterious Dragon Sword can come at me!" At that moment, I heard Jiang Bao's voice not far away, accompanied by a bright white light where he stood.
A mage dressed in a Daoist Robe was closest to Jiang Bao's position. His face lit up with ecstatic joy as he laughed loudly, "Ha ha! Jiang Bao, you fool! How dare you expose your location? Watch as I, Qiu Guochang, take you down. The Seven Star Mysterious Dragon Sword will be mine!"
With that, Qiu Guochang charged toward Jiang Bao's direction, wielding a Peach Wood Sword.
Due to the layer of white mist, I couldn't see Qiu Guochang's figure, but I heard his words and couldn't help but frown in concern as I looked toward Jiang Bao's position. "I hope Jiang Bao isn't in danger..."
"Separation Fire descend, exterminate the ghosts! Evil spirits obstructing my path turn to dust! Lingling, Earth Spirit, Supreme Old Lord heed my command! Separation Fire Talisman, command!"
"Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods, Exorcise Demons and Eliminate Spirits! Three Pure Ones Bestow Divine Power! Spirit Severing Technique, command!"
Bang bang~~ boom boom~~
I heard sounds of battle coming from not far away. After about ten seconds, a scream from Qiu Guochang pierced through the air before everything fell silent.
After a while, Jiang Bao's confident voice rang out: "Qiu Guochang has already fallen beneath my sword. Who else dares to come? I, Jiang Bao, am here waiting for you!"
Upon hearing Jiang Bao's voice, those around him paused their actions and began to murmur among themselves.
"What? Qiu Guochang is dead? That can't be true! Although Qiu Guochang was merely a Taoist Master Tablet, he was already half a step into Master Rank. How could he have died so easily?"
“Jiang Bao is just a rookie; how could he possibly have the strength to kill Qiu Guochang? There must be something wrong here. I don’t believe it!”
“Jiang Bao, how dare you deceive us? Are you trying to disrupt the rules of Ghost Street? Do you believe I won’t expose this information?”
At that moment, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from above, and a vague figure appeared in midair. His eyes scanned the crowd below, and the mist did nothing to obscure his vision. I could feel his gaze linger on me for a second.
Soon, everyone around fell silent. The figure let out a cold snort and said in an icy tone, “Hmph! You all shut up! I am the manager of Store Number Four in Ghost Street. I will personally oversee this challenge, and the other Seven Store Managers are here as witnesses. This battlefield is my choice, and everything within it is fair. Are you questioning me now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, seven more vague figures emerged in the air, each radiating an astonishing aura that made me feel oppressed.
One of the figures stepped forward and calmly stated, “This challenge will not favor anyone. Rest assured. Whoever can retrieve the Seven Star Mysterious Dragon Sword from this space within one hour will become the new owner of this store.”
With that, the eight figures in midair vanished again, leaving no trace behind.
I frowned and muttered to myself, “No wonder the other stores are closed; their managers are here watching the show!”
Upon hearing the words of the Eight Store Managers, the crowd no longer dared to suspect Jiang Bao of any schemes. However, recalling the gruesome fate of Qiu Guochang, no one was willing to confront Jiang Bao directly since their strength was not much different from his.
Holding my Demon-Subduing Staff, I continued walking toward Jiang Bao. As long as I joined forces with him, taking on two or three opponents wouldn’t be too difficult given my strength.
After walking for a while, I suddenly noticed someone approaching me. The person called out, “Friend, Jiang Bao’s strength has likely reached Master Rank. It will be hard for us to defeat him alone. Even if we manage to take him down, others might take advantage of it. Let’s team up!”
Due to the mist, the person couldn’t clearly see my appearance, which is why he proposed an alliance.
“Sure, let’s join forces,” I replied with a cold smile and a calm tone as I slowly walked toward him with my Demon-Subduing Staff in hand.
I thought to myself, "Ha ha, this fool actually wants to team up with me. Let's see if I don't knock him out with a single blow."
I secretly mobilized the Buddhist Power within me, channeling my energy into the Demon-Subduing Staff in my hand. As I approached the man, only five or six steps away, I suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, I was right in front of him.
"What? It's you! Aren't you Jiang Ling? What do you want?" The Taoist Master’s face turned pale as he recognized me, instinctively taking a few steps back.
Seeing that he wanted to flee, I quickly swung the Demon-Subduing Staff at his head while chanting, "The Buddhist Sect says that all beings have spirits! Life and death are determined by fate, all things coexist! Descend upon the immortal mountain, return to your homeland! Evil spirits cling to dust, harming living beings! Fall into the Suffering Sea, turn back to find the shore! Summoning Buddha's Law, awaken with the Buddha's staff! Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
"Bang!" A loud crash echoed as the Demon-Subduing Staff struck him hard, causing his head to burst open and rendering him unconscious.
I kicked him aside and coldly snorted, "Hmph, just a Trash Fish with such little strength, yet you dare to covet my master's shop. Luckily for you, I held back half my strength; otherwise, I would have killed you outright!"
I put away the Demon-Subduing Staff and continued walking forward. At that moment, I spotted three people gathered not far to my left. A glint flashed in my eyes as a sinister smile appeared on my face.
I summoned the Buddhist Manifestation from my Dantian, causing a radiant Golden Buddha Light to shine behind me. Then I clasped my hands together and called out to the three of them, "Amitabha, esteemed benefactors! Would you like to join forces?"
