So Terrifying

When Gu Sheng steadied himself and looked around, he discovered that only Gu Yuanyuan remained by his side, clutching tightly at his sleeve!

Zhao Boyang, Jin'er, the burly man, and the tall, thin formation master had all vanished!

They had been randomly teleported to different locations!

The surroundings before them were even more sinister and bizarre than before.

The sky was still dark red, but the pale "moon" seemed to have grown larger. The black patterns on its surface resembled writhing blood vessels, emanating a deathly silence that made hearts tremble.

The air was thick with the stench of decay and blood. Beneath their feet lay a viscous black swamp, where murky bubbles occasionally rose and burst, releasing a pungent reek.

Not far ahead of them stood an unimaginably enormous black palace, like a primordial beast crouching in the darkness!

The palace gates had long since shattered, revealing a deep passage like the maw of some giant creature.

The palace walls were covered in countless twisted, agonized faces carved in relief, as though innumerable wronged souls had been imprisoned within, wailing soundlessly.

An indescribably icy, resentful, despairing aura spread from the depths of the palace, making even their souls shudder!

"Master... this place... is so frightening..."

Gu Yuanyuan's face turned pale, her voice trembling.

Even with Gu Sheng beside her, the aura emanating from the palace made her feel intensely uncomfortable.

Gu Sheng's gaze, however, was remarkably calm. He stared at the black palace with a knowing look in his eyes.

"The main hall of the Hall of a Thousand Souls..."

He murmured softly, then said to Gu Yuanyuan.

"Stay within three steps of me. Do not leave my side."

"Yes, Master!"

Gu Yuanyuan hurriedly answered, forcefully suppressing the fear in her heart as she followed closely behind Gu Sheng.
