The top floor of the Wujian Restaurant, which is the ninth floor.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless expanse of building ruins, which have long been covered with lush green moss.

A bright red sedan chair suddenly appeared on the ruins.

The sedan curtain was lifted a crack, and a fair arm stretched out, performing several hand gestures towards the sky.

In an instant, the sky changed dramatically, turning from clear skies to a grayish-white.

On the ruins, moss transforms into light and shadow, dissipating with the wind. The collapsed buildings stand upright again, the cracks merge, and everything is restored to its original state.

It was as if the river of time had flowed backward, and the city ruins were restored to their former glory in the blink of an eye.

From a distance, the towering buildings and crisscrossing streets make it a truly modern metropolis.

However, it was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

When the scholar arrived and saw this scene, he asked in surprise, "Is it really necessary to activate the grand formation?"

The voice of the ghost bride came from inside the sedan chair, "Activating the formation can temporarily shield the secrets of heaven, and we can talk freely without worrying about triggering the rules of heaven and earth set by Jun Shisan."

"Haha, that bastard Jun Shisan made a mess of the Ghost Realm and then ran away! I've wanted to curse him for a long time, and this time I'm going to curse him to my heart's content."

A hearty laugh suddenly rang out, and the Three-Eyed Demon King flew down from the sky.

The scholar smiled faintly, with a hint of disdain in his expression.

"It's only at times like this that Brother Three-Eyed dares to indulge in a bit of verbal sparring."

The Three-Eyed Ghost King retorted without hesitation: "Same here. You wouldn't dare mention someone's name outside either."

The scholar was a little unconvinced and stubbornly said, "He has only taken half a step more than us. Once our plan succeeds, we will naturally catch up with him."

"Alright, you two stop arguing. If we can't come up with a solution, our plan might be in trouble."

The ghost bride spoke up at the right moment, stopping the two ghost kings from arguing.

The Three-Eyed Demon King was still unaware of the situation. "What's going on? What happened?"

The scholar immediately explained to him, "That young man surnamed Xia went to the Ghost Realm and used forbidden techniques again. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Even if the rules set by Jun Shisan are powerful, they cannot transcend the realm of ghosts and affect this mortal world, but Si Xiang seems to disagree.

The Ghost Bride said, "You're right. When Xia Langjun uses forbidden techniques in the Ghost Realm, the consequences won't affect this mortal world. But precisely because of this, he has to bear all the consequences himself."

Do you know what this means? It means his time is running out. Perhaps in less than two years, Jun Shisan will be reborn.

The scholar suddenly stopped waving his folding fan, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

“Jun Shisan is too arrogant and domineering. If we cannot complete our plan before he is resurrected, he may look down on us and refuse to cooperate with us.”

The Three-Eyed Demon King scoffed, disagreeing with the scholar's statement.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is still the King of Demons. He can't break the shackles on his own. I think we should revive him as soon as possible. Maybe he can help us complete the plan ahead of schedule."

The scholar shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

"You're being too optimistic. With Jun Shisan's unparalleled talent, this resurrection might just allow him to break through the limits of the Ghost King."

After all, every time he resurrected, he would advance to a higher level. A figure like him wouldn't take ordinary ghost kings like us seriously.

The Three-Eyed Demon King snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not refute it.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

A moment later, the Bride of the Ghosts spoke up again, reminding us, "We still need to find a way to complete the established plan as soon as possible. Once we do, Jun Shisan will have to be wary of us."

The scholar shook his head and sighed, "If we could take action directly, we could complete the plan quickly. But this world is too fragile; if we intervene, it will accelerate its collapse."

Besides the three Ghost Kings, the Wujian Restaurant also had some waiters, managers, and cooks.

However, they are insufficient in number and strength.

The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.

The Three-Eyed Demon King suddenly walked to the side of the sedan chair and knocked on the armrest.

"Sixiang, you're the smartest. Since you brought this up, you obviously have some ideas. Tell us about them."

After a brief silence inside the sedan chair, the ghost bride finally spoke, "I do have an idea, but I'm afraid you won't agree."

The scholar flicked his folding fan, snapped it shut, and said readily, "At this point, let's just say what we have to say!"

The Three-Eyed Demon King nodded in agreement.

The Bride of the Demons then continued, "Lord Xia now has many demon generals under his command, as well as a large number of Tree Demons and Void Demons."

With his strength, he could easily sweep across the world. If we get his help, the plan can be completed quickly.

The scholar and the Three-Eyed Demon King exchanged a glance, both showing surprise.

The Three-Eyed Demon King put away his playful smile and said seriously, "If we ask him for help, he will definitely know some of our secrets."

"If Jun Shisan is reborn through him, he'll also learn these secrets. Wouldn't that be bad for us?"

Silence fell over the room once again.

The silence lasted a while this time, as everyone was weighing the pros and cons.

The scholar couldn't hold back any longer and said, "It doesn't matter if we know. In essence, we share the same goal as him. He shouldn't turn against us before we break free from our shackles."

The Ghost Bride added, "When the time comes to turn against us, we will turn against each other regardless of whether they know our secret or not."

The Three-Eyed Demon King pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's ask that kid surnamed Xia to help us."

The scholar immediately nodded.

This is the best solution we can think of right now.

The ghost bride smiled faintly through the sedan curtain: "Since you all agree, I will go and invite Mr. Xia over right away. He has just returned to the human world."
