Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

next moment.

Everyone suddenly found themselves standing on the roof of the inn.

But the giant city before us has changed.

The dark red moon hung high in the sky, and the entire sky seemed to have been torn open from the middle by something, with dark red fog gushing out from the crack.

The giant ghost face was still there in the thick fog, but now it had become more tangible.

His deep-set eyes held a pair of enormous pupils with a cold smile, and the corners of his mouth turned up to his ears, like a human face mask that had been repeatedly torn and stitched back together.

Everyone could feel that those giant eyes were silently watching them.

A silent laugh.

The entire sky trembled, and the clouds fell like torn pieces of paper money.

From every door, a tide of red surged forth, countless red ribbons crawling out from the cracks like living creatures, spreading and climbing along the walls and streets, dripping with a viscous, dark red liquid.

A dark red viscous liquid began to seep from the ground, gushing out from the cracks in the rocks, turning the stone slabs dark red wherever it passed.

The entire city seemed to awaken completely at that moment.

Wang Chao looked down, and his grip on the straight knife tightened involuntarily.

Because around this inn, thousands upon thousands of eerie creatures have silently gathered.

These bizarre figures resemble human beings, even more grotesque than the previous paper figures. Their arms are so long they reach the ground, their feet are bent backwards, their heads are tilted to one side at a 90-degree angle, and their mouths are split to the back of their heads.

Beneath the translucent skin, dark red veins could be seen wriggling, like a rag doll sewn together with red thread.

"So many...so many."

One, two, three... thousands.

Thousands of cold eyes stared intently at them as they approached, step by step.

The giant face above turned from a smile into a wide, maniacal laugh, and the entire city trembled in response.

"We're surrounded," Bai Ye concluded calmly. "The calm of the past few days was clearly a deliberate lure. This S-rank, bizarre boss is very cunning; I suggest we don't fight him head-on."

"Ah, right, right..." Chen Chen nodded hurriedly, just about to suggest that they retreat first and reconsider their strategy. Let alone the boss, even these strange minions in front of them were enough to give them a hard time.

But then they discovered a powerful aura surging into the sky beside them, seemingly defiant.

Suddenly turning his head, he found that Lu Ye's eerie aura had exploded. The giant wave made his hair stand up, as if he had instantly transformed into a Super Saiyan. Countless crystalline red lines wriggled and a blood-red longsword more than three meters long appeared in his hand.

This sudden outburst startled Chen Chen, who quickly slid in and locked Lu Ye's thigh in place. "What are you doing?"

"Just get them out of trouble."

"You can't go, I won't let you go. Why are you going to go head-to-head with the S-class supernatural leader?"

"He started it, I can't stand it." Lu Ye kicked Chen Chen away.

This is a provocation.

This is blatant provocation!

The top scholar must have noticed him the moment he entered the city.

No, it wasn't that I discovered him, but rather that I sensed a trace of the Red Phoenix's aura on him.

But instead of dealing with him immediately, the other party pretended not to know anything and let him wander around the streets for a few days, enjoying the little pleasures of stealing chickens and dogs under the enemy's nose.

The thought that while he had painstakingly changed his appearance and disguised his aura, the other person was standing on that high platform, watching him with a mocking and teasing smile.

Lu felt incredibly stupid and embarrassed.

The other party's abduction of Ling Xin'er was also a deliberate attempt to toy with him.

Ling Xin'er was also present when the [Ghost Marriage: Ten Miles of Red Makeup] dungeon was cleared, and she also had the phantom image of [Wedding Dress Ghost] on her body.

Therefore, the other party believed that Ling Xin'er and he must have an unusual bond.

Lu Ye could guess that the top scholar must be roaring inside his heart at this moment—

"Last time you stole my woman, this time I'll make you taste the pain of losing your beloved!"

Even if the other party may have made a mistake, that doesn't matter. What matters is that he doesn't like the other party's attitude.

"Those who offend Lord Lu, though far away, shall be punished!"

Seemingly sensing Lu Ye's thoughts, the two strange coffins on its wrist opened on their own, and two black shadows roared out, howling as they charged towards the surrounding monsters below with overwhelming momentum.

"Ox-Head and Horse-Face... Grade A?"

Everyone stared in astonishment at the two statues, each a hundred meters tall.

Having stayed in Lu Ye's body for so long and been fed so many good things, Ox-Head and Horse-Face finally advanced from B-level monsters to A-level monsters, now majestic and unstoppable.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye's aura continued to rise.

Until one.

The thick, dark clouds in the sky suddenly surged wildly.

Everyone seemed to sense that a second space had quietly "squeezed" into this space.

As the festive drums and gongs resounded, red lanterns began to light up the desolate streets, and hundreds of strange and festive creatures quietly appeared in every corner.

The moment it appeared, it immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the strange creatures within the giant city.

A newly emerged, bizarre army, along with the existing bizarre army within the giant city, caused nearly half of the city's bizarre forces to tremble almost instantly.

"This is... the Ghost Realm!"

Wang Chao, who felt a slight familiarity with the scene before him, suddenly turned to look at Lu Ye.

Sure enough, Lu Ye's appearance had also changed.

Her dark clothes had been replaced by a long red robe, her feet were three inches off the ground, and her face, which looked as if it had been carefully made up, had a touch of feminine charm.

"You..." Chen Chen, who had been kicked out and then ran back, stared blankly at Lu Ye's face. "How did you become so beautiful?"

But sensing the overwhelming aura emanating from Lu Ye, he sighed helplessly, "Are we really going to do this?"

Lu Ye looked at the indistinct figure on the high platform in the distance, his voice seemingly mixed with his own voice, "I have no choice but to do it, he's slapping me in the face."

"Sigh, I haven't even graduated yet and I already have to go head-to-head with an S-class weirdo leader. Who can I complain to?" Chen Chen's fat face was shaking. He quickly took out one ghost artifact after another from his storage bag and slapped it on his body. Finally, countless giant ghost hands appeared behind him, protecting him layer by layer in the very center.

Lu Ye glanced at him sideways. "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm scared." Chen Chen nervously licked his lips and grinned. "But since you've started the group, I can't just not join in."

"Let's go then."

"What should we do with them?" Chen Chen pointed at Wang Chao and the others.

Lu Ye casually took a shield from his Hundred Ghosts Pouch and smashed it on the ground. Instantly, a semi-circular transparent protective shield rose up, protecting everyone and the entire inn.

"A level six group protection artifact..." Chen Chen recognized it at a glance. "You have a lot of good stuff on you."

Lu Ye then said, "You all stay here and don't go out. I'll activate the key and we'll all be teleported out together later."

After saying his last words, Lu Ye flew out with his knife in his hand.

Chen Chen patted his face, and the ghostly hands behind him intertwined to form a pair of broad, fleshy wings, which flapped and carried him along.

Why didn't they ask me if I was going?

Bai Ye, still standing on the rooftop, looked up at the two figures flying away quickly and frowned.

"Maybe he forgot," Wang Chao asked. "So, are you going or not?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment and replied, "I'm also S-rank."

The next moment, Bai Ye's figure also quietly disappeared before Wang Chao's eyes.
