Qi Yan's face turned serious. He said, "This is the first level of purgatory. Every step creates an illusion. If you can't break through the illusion in time, you will be torn to pieces by the surrounding vengeful ghosts."

Chen Yan nodded.

"Let's go together."

Qi Yan's expression suddenly became complicated. He looked at Chen Yan's exquisite and beautiful profile, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Chen Yan seemed to notice his gaze and turned to ask, "How long does it take you to break through an illusion?"

Qi Yan said: "About three breaths of time."

"Okay, let's try to stay consistent."

When Qi Yan heard this, he was about to ask a question, but swallowed it back silently.

He wondered in his heart, could she keep up with him?

A moment later——

Qi Yan was slapped in the face, because Chen Yan was not only able to catch up with him, but also took less time than him.

He was worrying too much.

However, the problem at hand is not just about breaking the illusion, but also about the resentful ghosts that keep pouring in from all around, and they are even stronger than before.

They pounced on Chen Yan and Qi Yan and tore them apart with extreme ferocity.

Chen Yan and Qi Yan not only have to face the killing in the illusion, but also have to defend against attacks in reality.

Before they had taken ten steps, Chen Yan and Qi Yan were injured, and the bitten areas gradually became transparent.

Only sufficient ghost power can restore them to their original state, but now they still have to continue to consume ghost power.

Chen Yan swung her sword and split the ghost that rushed towards her. She turned her head to look at Qi Yan and said in a deep voice: "Qi Yan, can you be faster?"

Qi Yan was already out of breath. Hearing this, he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Yes!"

How could he lose to a human?

Chen Yan said to him: "Whether it is reality or illusion, just kill."

Hearing this, Qi Yan suddenly understood everything, but——

Killing too much will also make you resentful and turn you into a resentful ghost or an evil ghost.

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and expressed his concerns.

Chen Yan replied, "As long as I'm here, you won't become a resentful ghost."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan's eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

He thought for a few seconds and decided to trust her for once.

He took out a bottle of pills and poured it into his mouth. A determined look appeared on his handsome face. He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and his eyes gradually became fierce and sharp.

Then, he roared angrily, and his figure flashed as he stepped forward. For a moment, sword light flashed and sword energy was everywhere. Wherever he passed, souls scattered, and no one could withstand his thunderous attack.

The speed of advancement has increased a lot.

Chen Yan naturally would not stay where she was. She raised her sword and swung it out, and the ghost power blade swept out instantly.

…

The other side.

The underworld, within Pei territory.

In the palace, King Zhong Pei received a message from Ao Xian.

After hearing the content of the message, King Zhong Pei's face was filled with shock and anger, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

When did Hong Ling meet the demon couple?

When he thought about how several Hades generals under his command had died at his hands, a nameless anger welled up in his heart, but he had to calm down.

Prince Zhong Pei sent a message back: "Keep an eye on them first."

After he finished speaking, he thought of someone, and his eyes flashed with a dark light.

He immediately sent someone to invite the distinguished guest.

Soon, a tall and straight figure appeared in the hall.

King Zhong Pei looked up and saw a young man in a black robe. He had no hair on his head, and his black hair fell on his shoulders. He had three-dimensional features, a handsome and strong face, and a strong aura.

The young man asked, "I wonder why the king summoned me here today?"

Prince Zhong Pei's face was already covered with wrinkles. When he narrowed his eyes slightly, the light in them was unusually sharp. He said in a deep voice, "A demon couple appeared in the Spirit Realm, staying with Qi Yan, a ghost general under Prince Hongling. According to reports, the demon man was very skilled. He single-handedly killed four ghost generals and seriously injured two others, while remaining unscathed. Our underworld has never communicated with the demon world, so how did Prince Hongling know the demons?"

"Demon race?" The young man frowned.

Prince Zhong Pei looked down at the people in the hall below and asked, "Do you know him?"

The young man seemed to have thought of something and looked up. "King, can you tell me the characteristics of that demon couple?"

King Zhong Pei said, "It's reported that they all wore silver masks, so their true appearances couldn't be seen."

The young man was silent for a moment. "Wang, if I'm not mistaken, she is here."

After hearing this, King Zhong Pei's face changed drastically.

"Isn't she human now?"

"Yes, but she can also enter the underworld as a soul."

"But..." King Zhong Pei hesitated, "During this period, I haven't sensed any power fluctuations from the gate to the underworld."

The young man's eyes were deep, and he sneered sarcastically: "It's because of the man next to her."

Then he asked, "Wang, where is she now?"

Prince Zhong Pei now believed the young man's words. His eyes flickered with a faint light as he sneered, "Spiritual Realm, Tianzhou City. They entered the teleportation pavilion. I suspect they are heading to the Observatory or the Hell Layer of the Spiritual Realm."

The young man said in a deep voice: "We must not let her regain her power!"

Prince Zhong Pei looked at the young man in surprise, and said with a half-smile, "Do you have a personal grudge against her?"

The young man remained calm. He raised his eyes to meet King Zhong Pei's and smiled, "Yes, I was deceived by her so badly."

If Chen Yan was here at this moment, she would definitely recognize at a glance that the young man was Chen Ce.
