Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

"A thousand years ago, a great figure came to Crimson Abyss and made a pact with the city lord, promising to help Him break the seal a thousand years later."

Ghost Eyes' six blood-red eyes exuded a sense of vicissitude. Dressed in a blue robe, he resembled a wise and calm elder, recounting a piece of history in a low voice.

"The city lord also made a grand vow to open the true passage to the underworld and lead us back to the world that truly belongs to all ghosts."

Now, the time has come. All that remains is to perform the ritual, awaken the city lord, and we will be completely free from the Crimson Abyss, break free from the formation laid down by the Great Li Immortal Dynasty, and without any more bottlenecks, we can freely devour souls and flesh.

Ghost Eye's voice was very calm, like flowing water, merely narrating, but the other Ghost Lords looked extremely excited.

They roared and howled, releasing a large amount of yin energy, making the surroundings eerie and the demonic flames raging, conjuring countless howling and wailing wronged souls, painting a picture of hell.

The red demon hopped and jumped on the spot, its powerful force causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.

It called out impatiently, "When will that important person arrive? When will we begin the ceremony?"

Ghost Eyes' six blood-red eyes suddenly turned towards the palace gate.

"He has arrived."

The ghosts were astonished.

"What?"

They all turned around and saw an extremely strange and incongruous couple who had appeared in the hall at some unknown time.

The man has two monks' heads, one in front and one behind.

The two heads looked identical, but the former had a dignified and compassionate face, like the Buddha in the world, while the latter was full of evil and was abnormally twisted.

The woman wore a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and her long, black hair was casually draped down her back like a waterfall.

Her eyebrows were delicate and gentle, her eyes were clear and bright, like those of an innocent child, as she curiously observed the many ghost lords in the hall.

But without her noticing, the woman exuded an astonishing allure.

The red demon's expression changed, and his eyes showed fear.

It had no idea when the two people had entered; its instincts told it that they were extremely dangerous!

The other ghosts also looked at them with unfamiliar eyes and were full of vigilance.

During that meeting a thousand years ago, apart from Ghost Eye, none of the other Ghost Lords present had gained the trust of the Lord of Ghost City. They were honored to witness the signing of the contract between the two great beings.

"Great Venerable Medicine Master of the Wheel of Destruction, it's been a thousand years since we last met. How have you been?"

Ghost Eyes' usually impassive face finally showed a flicker of emotion. All six of his blood-red eyes fixed on the eerie monk, and he forced a stiff smile.

The eerie monk's head peeked out from behind him, chuckling, "No need to worry, that's perfectly fine!"

As he spoke, the eerie monk looked around and chuckled, "The sacrificial offerings seem incomplete?"

Ghost Eye nodded slowly, then spoke again: "Two Ghost Venerables have failed, and their life essence has completely dissipated. However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is ample blood and flesh reserves, and the ritual will proceed without any hindrance."

The conversation between the two seemed to have an implied meaning, but the ghost lords did not understand it.

Upon hearing this, the eerie monk revealed an exaggerated smile, his mouth stretching all the way to his ears.

"Oh, so it seems you've mobilized your entire force this time, wiping out all those cultivators in one fell swoop? Tsk tsk... Hey, do you think if I leave directly, the enraged Great Li Immortal Dynasty will unleash its Dao artifacts and send a large army to cleanse Crimson Abyss and completely annihilate you?"

The red demon glared, losing his temper first, and roared, "How could you break your promise?"

As a pure and innocent vengeful ghost, the Crimson Ghost ravaged the Crimson Abyss for a thousand years after it gained sentience. Although it had eaten human flesh and drunk human blood, it had not experienced much deceit and treachery. It was single-minded and mostly straightforward.

Ghost Eye remained unmoved and said calmly, "You jest, Great Venerable. The seal still requires your help."

The eerie monk waved his hands repeatedly, glared at the red demon, and said irritably, "You young devil, I was just joking, why take it so seriously?"

Then he pointed to Ying Si beside him and said in a serious tone, "However, there are indeed a few geniuses from immortal sects in the Crimson Abyss this time, and even my disciple may not be able to defeat them."

Ying Si wrinkled her nose slightly, displeased, and said, "We haven't even fought, who says I'm not good enough?"

Having been tricked, the Red Demon could not hide his rage. A bold idea gradually rose in his mind: was this strange monk reliable? Could he really break the city lord's seal?

Faced with such unserious playfulness, Gui Tong remained calm and said without a care, "It's alright."

The eerie monk nodded and tentatively asked, "Shall we begin the ceremony?"

The ghostly eyes, bloodshot and gleaming.

"Let's begin."

Inside the bronze palace, the group of ghost lords became excited once again.

The Three-Faced Demon, a confidant of Oni-teleporter, immediately volunteered to the stone pillar above, saying, "Lord Oni-teleporter, let me serve you."

Ghost Eyes nodded slightly.

"Can."

The three-faced ghost roared and jumped off the stone pillar, slamming his palm onto the floor of the bronze hall, continuously pouring his profound Yin energy into it.

Soon, the bronze palace stirred, and in a short while, a phantom array covered with talismans and intricate incantations appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, a bottomless pool of blood, filled with a foul stench and floating with dismembered limbs and broken bones, emerged in the hall.

The illusory array shone brightly, rapidly absorbing the flesh and blood in the blood pool and gradually solidifying it. In the shadows, the outline of a bronze gate was slowly being drawn.

In an instant, a fierce aura, seemingly from the ancient wilderness, filled the hall.

Apart from Ghost Eye and the two strange monks, all the other ghosts showed fear.

"That's right, it's the city lord's aura!"

The red demon hunched over, baring his teeth as he spoke.

However, only two-thirds of the bronze gate was revealed after all the flesh and blood in the blood pool had been completely drained.

The three-faced demon was immediately filled with panic and confusion.

"How...how is this possible? Why isn't there enough flesh and blood? This is the flesh and blood of dozens of Divine Palace Realm cultivators!"

Qi Refining Cultivator, Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The spirit platform summons the Taoist priests, and the divine palace calls them alchemists.

These four realms are also known as the Four Realms of Inquiry. Once one passes through them, one becomes a Golden Core True Person, who can enter and exit the Azure Netherworld, accompanied by wind and thunder, and roam the void beyond the boundary.

Wherever he goes, he becomes a guest of honor, and in some Taoist sects, he can even establish his own sect and become a powerful figure.

While a Divine Palace Realm alchemist cannot compare to the power of a Golden Core True Person, they are still a fourth-level cultivator who has attained the Profound Truth Realm and can roam the Great Heavens. They are not to be underestimated.

Those Divine Palace Realm cultivators who can enter the Crimson Abyss to seek the Golden Core opportunity are mostly top-tier alchemists who have taken the third step, built a Heavenly Palace, and are only a step away from condensing the Golden Core.

Yet, it took the physical bodies and flesh of so many Divine Palace Realm alchemists to make this bronze statue appear more than halfway.

The three-faced demon muttered, "What should we do? It seems too late to go hunting now..."

"No, there's still time."

The three-faced demon looked up in surprise and saw that the demon eye had left the stone pillar and come to its side, looking at it with a cold expression.

"Master Ghost Eye..."

The three-faced demon trembled, and before it could utter a sound, its six scarlet blood-red eyes suddenly blazed with crimson light.

In just a few breaths, it fused the great vengeful ghost, which was only one step away from advancing to the level of a malevolent ghost, into a rich and mellow mass of yin energy.

A huge black crystal fell out and collided with the ground, making a crisp sound that echoed throughout the vast bronze hall.

Ghost Eye no longer concealed its ferocious and violent aura, its nearly ten thousand years of Yin energy cultivation overwhelming the bronze hall.

He surveyed the surroundings with disdain, and all the ghosts submitted.

Ying Si and the eerie monk retreated to a corner, clicking their tongues and saying, "How fierce!"

The Red Demon reacted, clenching its fists, and its size expanded more than tenfold in an instant, making the entire bronze hall sway precariously.

It roared and charged toward Ghost Eye, then at the crucial moment adjusted its size and rushed toward the palace gate with lightning speed.

"Red Demon, the other Demon Lords all think you're hot-tempered, difficult to communicate with, and a reckless fool. But only I know that you are the most shrewd and intelligent of all the Demon Lords. What a pity..."

Ghost Eyes remained motionless, its six blood-red eyes shooting out a burst of crimson light once more. The fleeing Crimson Ghost roared, dissolving into pure Yin energy like the Three-Faced Ghost, which was absorbed by the bronze gate, leaving only a Heavenly Soul Spring.

"Run!"

Terrified and shocked, Onda shouted and released a cloud of ghostly mist, then tried to flee.

"Escape? Where can you escape to? If it weren't for the Ghost City protecting your life force, your true spirits would have been wiped out by the array spirit long ago. The city lord has treated you well, so offer him your final offering."

"Why! No!"

"Ghost Eye! Was this also part of your plan?"

"Lord City Lord!"

Three-Faced Demon, Red Demon, Onda, Laoyue...

The five extremely fierce and malevolent ghosts present, who were no match for ordinary Divine Palace Realm alchemists, seemed to be powerless against the powerful Ghost Eye.

Amidst desperate howls, they instantly transformed into yin energy, merging into the bronze gate.

At this point, only Hongluan's ghost sedan chair remained, still resting on the stone pillar.

A silent, solemn atmosphere permeated the hall.

Ghost Eyes looked at the deathly silent ghost sedan chair with a half-smile.

"You've been watching for so long, shouldn't you show yourself by now?"
