Yu Zhong and the Skeleton General had thrown everything into this battle. They led their tribes in a years-long, unrelenting war against Su Qing. Centered around Bone Lion Yin Mountain, countless ghost corpses littered the surrounding land, which was thick with ghostly energy.

Su Qing herself had been wounded in one battle after another, and even now she had yet to fully recover.

In the end, she had underestimated the resources Yu Zhong had built up over his many years entrenched here. The ghost army he had assembled had dealt the ant swarm a heavy blow. Worse, they had repeatedly used hidden passages to bring in reinforcements. The ghost troops arriving each time were not numerous, but they had left Su Qing's swarm repeatedly caught between enemies on both sides.
The Void-Devouring Ghost Ant swarm had not been strong enough to withstand a crisis of this scale. Fortunately, the number of enemy troops coming through the hidden passages at once had never reached a level they could not handle.
