However, Hua Yao still noticed something was wrong.

"What, are you talking to that remnant soul who's been by your side again? The little guy's cultivation is too low, and his vision is too limited. He can't offer you much help."

Even with his divine sense, he could not forcibly probe the exchange of soul power.

However, it wasn't hard to guess who Liu Chen was talking to, hence the teasing remark with a smile.

Liu Chen stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Sister Hua Yao, since you know that I was behind the Ghost Spirit Sect's affairs, why did you expose me to everyone here?"

When this matter was mentioned, Hua Yao's face flashed with embarrassment, and then she glared at him with a mixture of shame and annoyance.

"How can you blame me? I came to see you secretly, but when you saw me, you reacted like you'd seen a ghost. Otherwise, how could others have noticed?"

To be honest, it's not really her fault.

With her cultivation level deliberately concealed, those at the Mahayana stage had no chance of discovering her existence.

She originally just wanted to tease Liu Chen, but as soon as she appeared, Liu Chen was so frightened that he almost fought her.

The spiritual energy fluctuations it unleashed were so powerful that Hua Yao had no choice but to take action to defend against them.

Even the slightest leak of a presence was noticed by that group of people.

Liu Chen was so angry at these words that he laughed.

"Sister, if you ran up behind me like that, wouldn't anyone be startled?"

He almost drew his Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword and slashed her.

It wasn't that he was overly cautious; it was mainly because he was surrounded by enemies.

The other party reappeared behind them like a ghost, clearly possessing extraordinary cultivation. Who knows if they are friend or foe!

Hua Yao also realized that her previous actions had been somewhat reckless.

He stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.

"I didn't mean to, don't worry, I'll take you away in a bit."

Since I'm the one who caused this mess, I'll definitely take responsibility and help you resolve it.

He can take whomever he wants, and these people can't stop him.

"However, there's no rush yet; this battle has only just begun!"

With his assurance, Liu Chen felt a little relieved.

Anyway, the preliminary work and preparations are almost complete.

There's nothing you need to do after that; just wait quietly.

"That makes sense, let's wait and see!"

The new Ghost Spirit Gate is gradually losing ground, but don't forget, there are two Ghost Spirit Gates.

The Ghost Spirit Sect surely understands the principle of mutual dependence and interdependence.

That vengeful spirit ancestor hiding in the shadows will probably not be able to sit idly by any longer.

Just as he had guessed, a figure quickly rushed out.

The ghostly giant and the Nascent Soul cultivator clashed fiercely, and even the addition of two Mahayana cultivators could not reverse the tide of battle.

The disciples of the new Ghost Spirit Sect were all spitting out blood as if it were free.

The giant's body was covered with a layer of faint blood-red armor.

This further enhances its already formidable defensive capabilities.

Many cultivators at the Integration Stage were beaten and complained bitterly.

"Damn it, they actually used a blood shield."

Blood Shield Armor is considered one of the more common secret techniques among demonic sects.

Logically speaking, it wouldn't be very effective in a battle of this level.

The new Ghost Spirit Sect has many disciples, as well as several powerful old monsters.

The blood it spat out was all condensed onto the ghostly giant.

This caused his combat power to soar, and even a full-force attack during the fusion stage could only leave a shallow scar on his body.

Once covered by the crimson armor, ordinary attacks from the Fusion Stage could no longer harm him.

Soon, those lurking in the shadows could no longer remain silent.

Several more figures flew out, lightning flashing.

A massive, endless bolt of golden lightning descended from the sky.

The several beautiful women of the Qingyuan clan, dressed in palace attire, exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

A graceful woman in palace attire, with a gentle wave of her hands, conjured up gusts of wind.

A beautiful woman in palace attire descended from the sky, transforming into a colossal blue kite that blotted out the sun as she plummeted at high speed.

Its blue wings spread out, completely enveloping the new Ghost Spirit Gate.

With seemingly light wings flapping out, the ghostly giant did not back down, raising its mountain-like fist to meet the attack head-on.

Qingyuan was knocked back repeatedly, but the ghostly giant remained completely still.

However, the next second, the ghostly giant's right arm began to crack open inch by inch.

The ghostly energy, so pure and almost tangible, vanished into thin air.

But in an instant, an even denser ghostly aura arrived, restoring it to its original state.

However, all of this came at the cost of the life force of the disciples and elders of the new Ghost Spirit Sect.

This seemingly ordinary strike cost each Nascent Soul cultivator nearly ten years of their lifespan.

The lowest-level Golden Core cultivator had his Golden Core shattered, letting out a miserable scream as he was completely reduced to a mortal.

Under the absorption and extraction of the sect's grand formation, they immediately turned into streaks of white bones.

Even their souls were completely drained, and they died and vanished into the world.

The beautiful woman in palace attire made several moves, suffering almost no damage herself, yet easily killing hundreds of Golden Core cultivators.

The Heavenly Demoness remained expressionless, continuing to forcefully control the formation and absorb everyone's vital energy.

However, several cultivators at the Void Refinement stage could no longer remain seated.

"Enough! What more do you want? Do you want to kill us all here too?"

The disciples who died were all his trusted subordinates.

They might even be direct disciples, even if they don't have much affection for their disciples.

But once all the Golden Core cultivators have died, it will be the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who die, and finally, it will be their turn.

They never imagined they would die for their sect!
