Inside this ascension platform, there were no howling, wailing ghosts, only a withered old man sitting cross-legged in the center.

But what's truly terrifying is...

This person is not in a remnant soul state.

Instead...

"You're still alive! Kun Gan Daoist, you're actually still alive!"

Wanhe let out an incredulous sound.

On the Ascension Platform, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

Countless specks of dust were shaken off his body, which was as withered as an old piece of wood that had been dead for thousands of years. But when he opened his eyes, a divine light shone from them.

His gaze fell on Wan He.

"Oh? It's Wan He. You look quite different from how you looked back then?"

Wan He composed himself.

“Senior, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am Zhuge Qingmu.”

While speaking, he blinked wildly at Kun Gan Daoist.

I tried to subtly suggest to the old man that he shouldn't talk nonsense.

"Heh, so it was possession."

Kun Gan Daoist slowly stood up, shook off the dust, and paid no attention to Wan He's hint.

His gaze fell on the others outside the immortal energy seal.

Huangfu You and Dongfang Sui both looked embarrassed.

Did you hear that?

"So Zhuge Qingmu has been possessed!"

"We fell for their trap from the very beginning!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Sui sighed.

"What's the difference? We can't even beat Lin Jinglong. We were forced into this situation. We don't have the initiative here!"

As the two were talking.

Lin Jinglong had already moved to the entrance of the passageway.

While blocking the path of hundreds of people ahead, he also prepared to flee the area.

"Wan He is indeed harboring malicious intentions!"

Lin Jinglong sneered.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan, forcing Huangfu You and the others to come in as scapegoats. If any unexpected changes occur next, they will be the first to die!
