Demon Ghost Domain Trial (9)

Those who remained here were all new to the Demon Ghost Domain and had no experience whatsoever; otherwise, they would have vanished like the others long ago and wouldn't have been trapped by the wolf pack. Naturally, they didn't know who the Ghost General was, but judging from Kou Xuehua's tone, this so-called Ghost General was probably no pushover.

A Core Formation stage disciple from Fu Xian Island sneered, "Ghost General? He's only equivalent to the Core Formation stage. We have so many people, and Uncle Kou is even Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Do you think we're afraid of this monster? Let's leave now and see what he can do to us!"

"We can't leave. Everyone who came here can't leave." Kou Xuehua shook her head sadly and said, "This Ghost General is his title. In reality, his cultivation has reached the late Ghost King stage, which is equivalent to the late Tribulation Transcendence stage in humans. He has hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers and generals under his command. He is the Co-lord of this area of thousands of miles. I just don't know why he came here today? Why did we run into him? Is it our fate to die here?"

Late Ghost King stage? Hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers and generals under his command? Everyone was shocked, and the disdainful disciple turned pale. Fortunately, it was already dark, and no one could see clearly.

After death, people become ghosts, essentially mortals in the ghost realm—there's nothing to fear about that. However, Ghost Soldier who have cultivated are different. Comparing their Qi Refining stage, Ghost Leader to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Ghost General to the Core Formation stage, Ghost Commander to the Nascent Soul Realm, and a ghost king to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Now, a late Ghost King stage has arrived, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers. What hope is there for everyone?

Yue Qianchou had a toothache. Damn it! What kind of nonsense is this? A ghost king suddenly appeared! This is terrifying! But I'm not afraid. I'll just run away. What can they do to me?

Suddenly, Gu Qingyun asked, "Grandmaster Kou! You said that no one who comes here can leave, including those from various sects who have already descended the mountain?" He was naturally referring to those who had experience in the Demon Ghost Domain.

Kou Xuehua said in despair, "Leave? Where can they go? When the Ghost General goes on patrol, within his territory, who can escape unless they are at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending realm?"

"That's good." Gu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. "Those seniors who left first were really infuriating. They came to such Jue Di without giving us any warning. They only knew how to run away. If I were to die like this, I really couldn't swallow this anger. Now that everyone is out of the running, I can die in peace."

"Yes... that's right..." Everyone agreed wholeheartedly and responded in unison.

Yue Qianchou was too lazy to join in the commotion. He pinched his chin with his fingers and stared at Gu Qingyun with a strange expression. Suddenly, he patted Gu Qingyun's shoulder and said angrily, "Gu Qingyun, didn't you say you were a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator? Damn it! You're actually a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator. You dared to impersonate my uncle and even cheated me out of two high-grade Spirit Stones. Give me back my Spirit Stone now."

With a large amount of Origin Qi Pill, he reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in just one year at an extraordinary speed, so he was naturally able to see through Gu Qingyun's cultivation level, which was still in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

When Yue Qianchou heard him call Kou Xuehua" Grandmaster", he was stunned. He didn't pay attention at first, but after paying attention, he realized that this guy was actually in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. He had suffered a great loss last time, having to pay respects and give Spirit Stone.

Gu Qingyun glanced at him and said, "That's strange. It seems like you were the one who impersonated my senior brother first! Is it wrong to teach you a lesson? I can't be bothered with you. What time is it now? You're still thinking about those two Spirit Stones. If I can escape the Demon Ghost Domain, I'd give you myself, let alone two Spirit Stones."

"Tsk tsk! You said it yourself. As long as you can escape the Demon Ghost Domain, you'll be mine." Yue Qianchou waved his hand and circled his finger, saying, "Everyone heard it. Be my witness, he said it himself."

"You complete idiot, don't talk to me." Gu Qingyun turned away in disgust.

Everyone looked at Yue Qianchou with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. This guy didn't seem to realize the situation; first he was arguing over two Spirit Stones, and now he was making jokes like this. However, everyone admired his calm and composed demeanor, which eased their tension considerably. Some even jeered, "If I can escape the Demon Ghost Domain, I'll give myself to you too, haha!"

"Who, who, who said those words just now?" Yue Qianchou stood on tiptoe, pointed at Human Path with his head hanging low, and said, "So it's a brother from the Myriad Demon Palace. It's you. You better remember what you just said, and don't go back on your word."

Everyone burst into laughter, as if watching a clown perform. Their fear lessened considerably, and someone shouted, "Count me in too, haha!" One person took the lead, and the crowd joined in, shouting, "Count me in... Count me in..." They all used this method to dispel their fear.

"Ha! Of course, of course." Yue Qianchou clasped his hands in a fist salute and spun around in return, saying, "Everyone who can leave should follow me. I guarantee you'll all live a life of luxury."

No one believed he was telling the truth; they all thought he was joking. Many people cheered him on, saying, "Then we'll leave it to this brother... thank you for your trouble..."

Yue Qianchou nodded and agreed, constantly touching his nose, his face beaming with joy, his eyes darting around, practically glowing with elation. His antics made the four women beside him feel much safer.

Gu Qingyun couldn't bear to watch any longer and bowed to Kou Xuehua, saying, "Grandmaster, is there really no other way?"

Before Kou Xuehua could speak, Yue Qianchou turned around and said, "Who said there's no way out? How do you know it must be the Ghost General? Which eye of yours saw it? The world is vast, and there are plenty of capable and extraordinary people. Does that mean others can't sing here? Even if it is the Ghost General, so what? Who says he definitely won't let us go?"

He then turned to Kou Xuehua and bowed, saying, "Grandmaster Kou, I believe you must not have seen the Ghost General in person either, but only heard about him from others?" The latter paused, then nodded silently.

A murmur rippled through the crowd, and everyone agreed that Yue Qianchou's words made sense, rekindling their hope. Yue Qianchou smiled at the crowd, but inwardly he chuckled bitterly. When people are in despair, they'll grasp at even the smallest straw. His words were merely a way to comfort himself and the others; they couldn't withstand scrutiny. Didn't he realize that in the Demon Ghost Domain, someone who could scare away a pack of wolves with just a few lines of song couldn't be an ordinary person? He was likely the Ghost General Kou Xuehua had mentioned.

"Woo... woo woo..." A series of horn-like sounds rang out, and everyone instantly fell silent, their eyes fixed on the distant hillside below, where black light gleamed and crimson Sha Qi swirled. Then came the sound of Qian Jun marching, the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly, and the faint neighing of warhorses could be heard. Everyone's heart pounded. Yue Qianchou clicked his tongue inwardly, "Good heavens! We haven't even seen them yet, but just the aura alone is terrifying."
