The Final Battle Is About to Begin!

After expressing her determination, Hu Tao looked at Zhongli, who was deep in thought, with her beautiful plum blossom eyes full of expectation.

Zhongli: "... From a purely rational perspective, ghosts should indeed not exist!"

No way.

His daughter was already planning to go, so how could he, as her father, not go?

And...

Ghosts, evil creatures that feed on humans, are indeed twisted and deformed beings that should not exist, in the eyes of Demon God who has implanted the instinct to love in his heart.

If he could, he would naturally want to deal with these creatures as well.

"If the Old Master is going, then I'll go with him!"

Venti chuckled and also planned to go along.

In any case, he was a newcomer to this place, unfamiliar with both people and the area...

He didn't want to stay put and wait for everyone, so going with the group was definitely the best option!

"Let's go too!" ×2.

Paimon and Ying exchanged a glance and said in unison.

There's no way around it, everyone else has left, and it would be too awkward to leave just the two of them.

So even if it's just to fit in, the two of them have to go.

Besides, to be honest, Ying is quite curious about "ghosts" as a creature.

After all, she had never seen such a creature before.

Since this is the first time I've heard of it, as a traveler, I naturally want to see it for myself.

"That's great!"

Seeing that everyone agreed to go, Wu Tong smiled with satisfaction.

It's good that everyone goes!

If everyone goes, he won't have to worry about the people who stay behind.

"In that case... let's go, everyone!"

After saying that, Wu Tong, holding Klee, turned and headed towards the right front, towards the place where the spatial fluctuations were most obvious.

If nothing unexpected happens, the place where the spatial fluctuations are most obvious should be the location of the demon's stronghold, "Infinity Castle".

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

When everyone arrived, the forces from both sides had already begun fighting the invading demons.

Because most of the invading demons were Kibutsuji Muzan to weaken the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, there were many demons, but their strength was not very high.

Therefore, for these annoying demons who are like cockroaches, not very strong, and not on the capture list like Kibutsuji Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki, both the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall adopted the method of eliminating them completely.

Of course, in order to lure out Kibutsuji Muzan, who was abnormally cautious, none of the factions used their full power, or even their Martial Soul. They simply took out some weapons and began to fight the demons.

Therefore, when Wu Tong and the others arrived, what they saw was a grand theatrical scene where the evil spirits and the people of the two major forces were entangled together, going back and forth, advancing and retreating.

"Oh dear, what a waste! If only all of these people could come to my Wangshu Funeral Parlor to do some business..."

Looking at the corpses on the battlefield below the cliff, Hu Tao said with a pained expression.

Upon hearing this, the people standing nearby couldn't help but put up a row of black lines on their foreheads!

However, everyone present knew Hu Tao very well and knew that this was her personality, so they didn't pay attention to Hu Tao words and tacitly treated them as nothing.

"Oh dear, this acting is a bit fake! It seems like they're not even using their abilities, is it?"

Looking down at the battlefield, Alice immediately realized that the two major factions were putting on an act.

Upon hearing this, Ying couldn't help but complain, "You should lower your standards a bit. You want a bunch of people from a Xuanhuan World to play characters weaker than themselves? It would be strange if they could act convincingly!"

As we all know, only a minority of cultivators in the Xuanhuan World like to play dumb to outsmart others; the vast majority are absolute egoists who think they are the boss, that everything else is second to none.

The fit for a cultivator whose ultimate goal is to defy the heavens through cultivation to play the role of someone weaker than himself is truly exceptionally poor.

Even if the cultivation system in the Douluo Continent is just a floor tile, the mentality of the survival of the fittest and the respect for the strong still lingers in everyone's heart.

Because of this contempt and disdain for the weak, the people of the two major forces may appear to be playing the role of the weak, but in reality they have nothing in common!

Alice paused for a moment, then nodded in realization. "That's true!"

I only noticed everyone's acting skills just now, but forgot that they lived in Xuanhuan World. Now that I think about it, Ying's words do make some sense!

It's highly unlikely that anyone other than a few Old Schemer would want someone who is used to respecting the strong to play the role of the weak!

Hmm... if you think about it that way, it seems like you've found the reason why these people have such bad acting skills!

"Haha, that's true... but if you take it as a joke, it's actually quite interesting, isn't it?"

Wu Tong couldn't help but laugh out loud at the clumsy acting of the crowd below.

It has to be said that this scene was indeed a bit comical.

Although everyone tacitly chose to feign weakness and conceal their strength in order to lure Kibutsuji Muzan out.

All I can say is that the idea is good...

But that unrepentant mentality and their clumsy acting made everyone's battles seem so ridiculous and laughable.

"Whee..."

Although she didn't know why Wu Tong was laughing, Klee still laughed along with him.

She's happy when her family and friends are happy!

For children, happiness is such a simple thing!

In the Infinity Castle.

Kibutsuji Muzan sat in the main seat of the hall.

Standing beside him was his most trusted assistant to date— the Twelve Kizuki.

Six large upper moons stand on the left:

Upper Moon One: Kokushibo; Upper Moon Two: Doma; New Upper Moon Three: Nakime (automatically succeeding Akaza); Upper Moon Four: Hantengu; Upper Moon Five: Gyokko; Upper Moon Gyutaro.

The six lower moons stand on the right:

The Lower Moon One: Enmu; The Lower Moon Two: Rokuro; The Lower Moon Three: Sick Yamaiha; The Lower Moon Four: Mukago; The Lower Moon Five: Burden; The Lower Moon Six: Kamanue.

The thirteen people stood or sat quietly in the main hall, observing the situation outside with expressionless faces.

The endless deaths of the evil spirits outside did not stir any ripples in their eyes, as if those who died were not their own kind at all.

Cold-blooded, indifferent, ruthless, devoid of the slightest emotional fluctuation...

Suddenly, in the silent hall, Kibutsuji Muzan and cold voice rang out:

"What do you think of the strength of that group outside?"

As a man of the survival path, he was cowardly, but he wasn't stupid. With the two major forces putting on such a terrible performance, Kibutsuji Muzan n't bear to watch.

Although everyone knew that the two major forces were putting on an act, their true strength was still well concealed despite their poor acting skills.

However, when dealing with enemies, Kibutsuji Muzan always relied on brute force, and he had little experience in assessing strength, so he couldn't discern the true power of this group.

Therefore, he thought of gathering ideas from various sources and listening to other people's opinions on the enemy.

As soon as Kibutsuji Muzan asked the question, Kokushibo calmly began to analyze it:

"Their acting is terrible, and you can't tell their true strength. But based on their current performance, they shouldn't be much stronger than ordinary ghosts."

"The reason they can fight against multiple opponents is entirely due to their armor and weapons. Without these, their strength wouldn't be much greater than that of the Demon Slayer Corps..."

Kokushibo's analysis was quite objective, but due to his limited perspective, this was all he could see before the real powerhouses entered the fray.

Upon hearing Kokushibo's words, the others nodded involuntarily, clearly agreeing with his point.

Just then, as if remembering something, Doma looked at Kibutsuji Muzan expression and said:

"But my lord, I remember you just said that this group of people wanted you to go alone. Sending so many ghosts to attack is obviously breaking the rules. Won't they just destroy the Blue Spider Lily?"

"Hmph~"

Kibutsuji Muzan. He originally wanted to punish the guy who spoke without his permission, but when he saw that it was Doma who spoke, his displeasure eased a little.

At any time, capable people will always have certain privileges.

Clearly, Doma, the Upper Moon Two, is one of those privileged individuals. Furthermore, given that this is a crucial period and Kibutsuji Muzan needs Doma to work for him, he can tolerate Doma's minor offense.

Therefore, Kibutsuji Muzan, then said in a calm tone:

"Don't worry about that. The reason they made that request was just a bluff. Their target is me. They won't easily damage the Blue Spider Lily before I show up, since it's their only bargaining chip to lure me out."

"If I accidentally damage the Blue Spider Lily, I'll leave immediately, and all their preparations will be in vain..."

"So, there's no need to worry about that. At least until I show up, they absolutely won't dare to touch that Blue Spider Lily."

Upon hearing this, the Kibutsuji Muzan had ordered a mass attack, suddenly had a look of realization in their eyes, and even their gazes toward Kibutsuji Muzan were now filled with deep respect.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Gyokko, with a grin on his face, began to flatter him.

Seeing this, the others also wanted to join in the flattery.

"Alright, we've been watching for ages. I didn't expect the people who dared to ambush me to be this weak. Looks like I overestimated them..."

Kibutsuji Muzan stopped the other demons from trying to flatter him, and looking at the people on the battlefield outside the Infinity Castle, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Since they're only at this level, there's no need to continue the probing."

Kibutsuji Muzan rose from his seat, his gaze sweeping over the Twelve Kizuki standing below. A flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he spoke in a chilling tone:

"Give the order: mobilize the entire demon race and bring me victory. Let's end this pointless battle as soon as possible."

Having said that, before anyone could reply, Kibutsuji Muzan pointed to the "enemy leader" Infinity Castle, a figure dressed in magnificent and noble attire and constantly being fiercely protected by a group of people. His expression was serious as he said:

"Oh, right, remember what I told you: once you get there, grab this hostage first, then threaten them to hand over the Blue Spider Lily."

"Until you get your hands on the Blue Spider Lily, whatever ideas you have, keep them to yourself."

"Once you get the Blue Spider Lily, you can do whatever you want! I won't interfere."

"But if we can mess up even this little thing, you wouldn't want to know the consequences..."

Upon hearing this, all Twelve Kizuki shuddered.

No one had any intention of doubting Kibutsuji Muzan's statement.

After all, no one understands Kibutsuji Muzan's selfishness and cruelty better than these Kibutsuji Muzan who have spent so much time with him.

Upon realizing this, a solemn expression flashed across the eyes of all the ghosts.

This battle is a fight to the death!

"Alright, let's go!"

"Yes!" ×12.

Suddenly, the sound of a pipa rang out, and all thirteen figures vanished into the Infinity Castle.

All that remained in the main hall was a finger, still bleeding from its wound, placed on the main seat...

On a small hill not far from the battlefield, several members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were intently watching the changes on the battlefield, silently waiting for Kibutsuji Muzan to appear.

On another hill not far from them, the members of the Spirit Hall also looked around with serious expressions, ready to intervene at any moment.

Although it's a bit unethical to do this, the opportunity is right in front of them, and if they don't seize it, then they'd be out of their minds!

"Fengzhi, when is that Kibutsuji Muzan going to show up? How many demons have he sent out already? I'm getting a little tired of watching these guys!"

Gu Rong rubbed his eyes, which were dry from staring intently at the battlefield, and began to complain to Ning Fengzhi beside him.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was about to speak to comfort Gu Rong.

But before he could speak, Chen Xin, who was also intently watching the battlefield, rolled his eyes at Gu Rong and then said with a look of disdain:

"Isn't it all because of you?"

Gu Rong retorted, "What does this have to do with me?"

Chen Xin's lips curled into a mocking smile, "If it weren't for your incompetence in finding the entrance to the Infinity Castle, we might have already captured Kibutsuji Muzan!"

"Ha... You make it sound so easy, 'it's none of my business, so I'll just mind my own business'?"

"Do you know that the Infinity Castle is an alternate dimension, different from the main world?"
