Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

Ning Yuan calmly confronted Gui Tong and Fu Luo Demon Lord, seemingly unconcerned about the consequences of a failed negotiation and a falling out between them.

These two have been plotting for many years, although currently they are only manifested as incarnations of the Divine Palace Realm and the aura of a fierce ghost.

However, as the secret realm used by the Ji royal family to produce precious treasures such as the Heavenly Soul Spring, Chiyuan must have had the means to deal with the situation after completely angering the Great Li Immortal Dynasty.

It's as if this ghost city, which raises countless ghosts, was built and forged right under the nose of the spirit of the Seven Luminaries Dragon Spirit Array.

The Moon Magic Aspect that Ning Yuan just used was indeed somewhat threatening; it might be more than enough to deal with the Ghost Lords like Hong Luan and Chi Gui.

What truly made Fuluo Demon Lord, especially Guitong, wary was...

Since Ning Yuan was able to obtain Chi Yuan's truly secret information without anyone noticing and infiltrate this ghost city, then the other party must have come prepared as well.

If we act rashly and the two sides fight, it could easily lead to a situation where the snipe and the clam fight while the fisherman benefits.

After much deliberation, realizing he couldn't quite grasp the mysterious Ning Yuan, a strange look flashed in his ghostly, blood-red eyes.

He spoke slowly, pointing to the two-headed body of the Floating Demon Lord, and said, "Since you are also interested in the Bronze Gate, that's perfect. I wish to completely reveal the seal so that the Demon Lord can break it from afar, but it seems that some sacrifices are still needed..."

After absorbing the dense Yin energy of the group of sinister ghost lords, the bronze gate was only one inch away from solidifying.

Ning Yuan's expression shifted slightly. "You mean..."

Ghost Eyes turned his gaze to the helpless Hongluan perched on the stone pillar, and said, word by word, "I enlightened these vengeful ghosts so that they would slowly devour the flesh and blood of cultivators, nourishing their Yin energy cultivation, so that the seal would loosen. And now, there's still one missing..."

Ning Yuan pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Hong Luan.

The blood-clad female ghost timidly flew down from the stone pillar, avoiding the ghost's eyes, and came close to Ning Yuan.

"Owner……"

Hongluan's beautiful eyes revealed a pleading look and a longing for life.

The events unfolded beyond her expectations. In the blink of an eye, all the vengeful ghosts who had been close or distant to her and were also Ghost Lords perished at the hands of Ghost Eye.

Even more unexpectedly, Ning Yuan claimed that Ghost Eye was the lord of Ghost City, and the latter did not object.

After the two talked, Hongluan suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that these seemingly glorious ghost lords, who were above all the ghosts in the ghost city, were nothing more than a bunch of fodder.

The ghosts like Hongluan, who were enlightened by the Lord of the Ghost City, all have restrictions placed on their souls by him, and their lives are in the balance of a single thought.

It's funny.

Faced with Gui Tong's blatant declaration, Hong Luan, who knew she was no match for him, could only rely on Ning Yuan, her 'master' whom she had only known for less than two days.

Ning Yuan stroked her head gently and said, "Don't worry, I said I would take you away from Chi Yuan. I'm a man of my word."

Hongluan was deeply moved, but before she could even feel joy, she heard Ning Yuan say to Gui Tong, "Let's do it."

The ghostly eyes blazed with crimson light, and Hongluan's eyes were filled with despair. In an instant, she transformed into a ball of pure Yin energy and merged into the bronze gate.

Ning Yuan said regretfully, "I'm sorry, but sometimes, human power is beyond our control. You've been placed under a soul restriction, and this calamity was bound to happen sooner or later."

As he spoke, he calmly put away the Heavenly Soul Spring that had remained in place after the Red Phoenix Ghost Body dissipated.

Upon seeing this, Ying Si blinked and exclaimed in admiration, "Insincere and hypocritical, fellow Daoist, your demonic style is truly remarkable."

Ning Yuan frowned slightly, and said with displeasure, "I am a gentleman!"

At this moment, after absorbing all of the Yin energy of the Red Phoenix, the bronze gate finally solidified into a physical form.

In an instant, a brilliant light shone forth, too dazzling to look at directly.

Despite the minor incident involving Ning Yuan, Gui Tong was completely unconcerned, his face filled with fervor.

"Finally... Lord Fuluo, time is of the essence! We must open the gate before the array spirits can react... Now!"

The sinister head behind the Floating Demon Lord nodded and said, "Understood."

Then, the dignified and solemn monk's face in front of him slowly opened its eyes.

"All things are empty, and the cycle of reincarnation will naturally end."

After the Buddha-like head uttered a soft verse, it suddenly unleashed a massive beam of light that crashed directly into the bronze gate.

At the same moment, from the depths of the void, a great being from the endless abyss descended with power from tens of thousands of miles away.

With the help of both inside and outside forces, the bronze gate opened.

Buzz 111

Like the earth cracking open and the world beginning, a tremendous sound shook the space and continuously emitted invisible fluctuations.

The entire Crimson Abyss, along with the countless inner and outer cities of Luodu, and even further afield, shook violently.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Above the Crimson Abyss, the sun hangs high in the sky.

The Great Luo Cloud Boat floated still, but as soon as the huge commotion arose, it attracted a group of cultivators to fly out of the boat and investigate in all directions.

"This...this sounds like it's coming from beneath the Crimson Abyss!"

Endless holy light emanated from behind the bronze gate. The light was so dazzling that it pierced through the mist, shot straight out of the Crimson Abyss, and entered the void of the universe, reflecting countless rays of light on the horizon and sparkling with flowing fire.

The entire Central Plains witnessed this breathtaking scene.

"What is that?"

At this moment, some curious people looked up and discovered a vast, boundless, and ethereal palace standing in the sky, pressing down on the heavens.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator burst into the meditation room, his eyes widening in disbelief. He murmured, "The ruins of a celestial palace?"

The ancient Heavenly Court, which once held immense divine power over the entire universe, collapsed, and countless celestial palaces and ruins were scattered throughout the heavens and fell to the earth.

Some celestial palaces have transformed into blessed lands and secret realms, bestowing blessings upon the region.

Some celestial palaces have become forbidden areas, where even Dao Venerables risk injury or even death if they visit.

Hidden within the Crimson Abyss is the ruins of a celestial palace, undiscovered for tens of thousands of years!

Judging from its appearance and quality, it is extraordinary and definitely not an ordinary celestial palace.

This also means cultivation techniques, elixirs, magical treasures, opportunities, and immense wealth!

In an instant, cultivators from the Central Plains sprang into action, rushing towards the Crimson Abyss.

...

...

Inside the bronze palace, Ghost Eyes looked excited, while Floating Demon Lord's two heads looked listless, and his body was covered with cracks like broken porcelain.

Ying Si's pupils contracted slightly, equally shocked by the emergence of the celestial palace ruins.

She murmured unconsciously, "Master, we're going to be rich now. For the next few hundred years, we won't have to worry about killing someone's disciple and not being able to pay the price, or being chased and scolded by the old palace master."

Fuluo Demon Lord looked at his disciple and said irritably, "Is that the point? I..."

He had just turned around when a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to call his apprentice to join him, a huge sword suddenly pierced through his abdomen.

Blood splattered, and organs such as intestines, liver, and spleen were scattered all over the ground.

Despite suffering such a severe injury, the Demon Lord Fuluo did not utter a single cry of pain.

Instead, he chanted the incantation very quickly without pausing at all.

A lightning-fast burst of demonic light retaliated instantly.

Boom!

The power of the demonic light was terrifying; it even blasted a huge hole in the bronze palace, whose material was unknown but incredibly hard!

A strong wind swept in, and the dark, gloomy void became the backdrop behind the boy.

At the critical moment, he blocked the attack of the Floating Demon Lord, and the already tattered Moon Magic Image shrank back into Ning Yuan's body once again.

A strong wind whipped Ning Yuan's black hair, causing his robes to flutter wildly. His expression was cold as he looked at the others on the field and said indifferently, "If you're going to fight, then stop talking so much."

Fuluo Demon Lord smiled sinisterly.

"What a little devil!"
