Yin Shi Forest, Third Layer!

"Indestructible Luo Guang the Fatty, what are you trying to do?" Qiu Huo Bird asked gravely.

The title Indestructible Luo Guang the Fatty had spread far and wide during this selection tournament.

Third place in the Points Plunder Tournament, Luo Guang was known as Indestructible Luo Guang the Fatty. Even Qiu Huo Bird found Luo Guang extremely troublesome to deal with. That title had not been earned for nothing!

Though no one knew what cultivation technique Luo Guang practiced, when he fought, his entire body was like an impregnable wall of bronze and iron. Even Qiu Huo Bird, a late-stage Four-star Dou Di, wore an ugly expression before him. Luo Guang's defense was astonishing; even he had no way to deal with it.

"Hehe, I'm not looking for you. I'm only looking for that brat named Xiao Yan," the fat man named Luo Guang said with a smile.

Qiu Huo Bird sighed in relief upon hearing this, then said, "That Xiao Yan seems to have discovered that we already fled from this place."

"Then let's meet in the finals. There are still fifteen days left. I refuse to believe he won't show himself." After speaking, Luo Guang was the first to vanish, leaving Qiu Huo Bird and the others behind.

However, Qiu Huo Bird seemed not to notice that the direction in which Luo Guang disappeared was precisely the entrance to the second layer of Yin Shi Forest.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Qiu Huo Bird's attendant asked.

"Chase them. I want to see just how capable this Xiao Yan is!" After speaking, Qiu Huo Bird took the lead in heading toward the direction Xiao Yan had fled.

Xiao Yan and the other two were rapidly leaving Yin Shi Forest. After all, the auras of Luo Guang, Qiu Huo Bird, and their group were far stronger than Xu Ni's. Since they already had enough points, it was time to lie low and wait until the final showdown to determine the victor.

The three arrived at a dim place, where a pitch-black passage appeared before them.

"Enter with caution!"

Two enormous words stood in a conspicuous spot.

"This..." Mu Feng stared at the two conspicuous words above the gloomy passage and pondered slightly.

"It's fine." As Xiao Yan spoke, he placed one hand on Mu Feng's shoulder. A remarkably gentle flame energy spread through Mu Feng's entire body, bringing him an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Let's go!" The three exchanged glances, then vanished from the second layer of Yin Shi Forest and headed for its third layer.

Outside Yin Shi Forest.

"Report!"

"More people have entered the third layer of Yin Shi Forest!" A young man respectfully reported to Wu Jiang.

"Who are they?" Wu Jiang asked softly.

"One is a man carrying a heavy ruler on his back, accompanied by a man and a woman," the young man said.

"I understand. You may leave. You've done well—keep up the good work," Wu Jiang said.

"Yes!" Encouraged, the young man seemed to be filled with vigor as he once again disappeared into Yin Shi Forest to watch the contestants' movements.

"The ghostly qi here is so dense..." The moment they emerged from the gloomy passage, a wave of ghostly qi rushed straight at them. Mu Feng's expression turned solemn.

As someone who had dealt with ghosts all year round, Mu Feng was exceptionally familiar with such creatures. The heavier the aura, the stronger the ghost it represented.

"Mu Feng, what's wrong?" Yue Ru noticed Mu Feng forming some strange hand seals and asked.

"It's nothing. I'll place a spell on you that can greatly weaken the erosion of this ghostly qi." After speaking, Mu Feng began muttering an incantation.

Once he finished chanting, he made several strange gestures with his hands. At the same time, three gray rays flew toward Xiao Yan, Yue Ru, and Mu Feng himself.

The instant the gray light touched their bodies, it transformed into an invisible force that continuously blocked the erosion of the ghostly qi.

"This power is quite remarkable..." Xiao Yan could not help but praise it.

Although Xiao Yan possessed vast flames to protect his body, that did not mean Yue Ru and the others did. In the third layer of Yin Shi Forest, where the concentration of ghostly qi had clearly increased, they could distinctly feel their Dou Qi being suppressed to varying degrees.

Yet under the protection of Mu Feng's gray light, that strange suppression vanished without a trace. Clearly, Mu Feng had quite a few methods for dealing with ghosts.

"Everyone, be careful. The ghosts in the third layer of Yin Shi Forest are extremely powerful as well," Mu Feng said coldly.

The three exchanged glances, then slowly advanced.

"Chi Mei, are you sure it's here?" You Quan Ghost Spirit stared at a well before him, peering deeply into it as he asked in confusion.

Although they knew that the other half of the Twin Ghost Emperor's power was sealed within the third layer of Yin Shi Forest, they were not certain of its exact location.

"That's right. According to my senses, it's here."

"Let's go down." Chi Mei Ghost Spirit spoke.

Without waiting for those outside to agree, he leaped into the well.

"Let's go too," Hong Ye said, following him inside.

Though Hong Ye was unwilling in every possible way, for a certain person, she could only assist a tyrant in his evil deeds.

"Go!" You Quan transformed into a streak of light and shot into the well.

Chi Mei Ghost Spirit, You Quan Ghost Spirit, and Hong Ye, the master of Red Mountain and Red Valley, entered the well, leaving behind the people of Red Valley and the ghosts to await orders above it.

"Hehe, now this is going to get interesting." A familiar figure spoke outside the well.

On closer inspection, one would discover that the person speaking was actually Muller!

"Let's go. Let me also see these so-called powerful contestants of the Points Plunder Tournament!" Muller smiled strangely, his aura no different from ghostly qi.

"Hmph!"

"No way. Lords Chi Mei and You Quan have gone down. This isn't your place to call the shots." A figure radiating terrifying ghostly qi stepped forward and spoke.

"You dare defy me? With the two lords absent, naturally I'm in charge here!" Muller snapped angrily. Clearly, the troublesome ghost was openly refusing to submit to him.

"That's right. A mere Four-star Dou Di wants to command us? Why don't you spit and take a look at yourself in the mirror first?" The people of Red Valley also stepped forward.

Though they did not know why their Valley Master had brought them here, they trusted her absolutely and did not ask questions. However, these people of Red Valley clearly did not know that the beings before them were ghosts from the Ghost Realm. Otherwise, a fierce battle would have broken out long ago.

The other contestants in the Points Plunder Tournament were quite formidable as well. If Muller wanted to use them as cannon fodder, then he had picked the wrong people!

Damn it, they actually dare oppose me. Once I get the chance, I'll make sure to deal with all of you! Muller thought furiously. He then silently marked down the few who had stepped forward, determined to teach them a lesson afterward!

Afterward, he calmed down. Wisps of ghostly qi continuously rose from the well before the place once again returned to calm.

"Long Yi, is the greatest treasure in all of Yin Shi Forest really located in its third layer?" Xiao Yan slowly communicated with the ruler spirit within the Primordial Fire Ruler.
