Chapter 134 Madness and Chaos

Chapter 134 Madness and Chaos

There were a total of five players, each contributing tens of thousands of Tier 3 energy stones, which added up to more than 100,000 and all went into Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing's pockets.

After letting a few players go, the two of them started working on the token. They tested it a few times, but each time they entered the Ghost Realm, the landing location was different. They didn't know if this was how it was supposed to be or if the token's function was unstable.

Inside the ghost realm, the two released the cage imprisoning the Ghost Lord Jin Ning, which led them to several small buildings. They successfully brought back a large number of ancient books, and the human world's fighting power against ghosts increased day by day, making it faster and faster to deal with the ghost hordes.

The corresponding Ghost King sensed something was wrong and ordered the four Ghost Generals to set out together to find the person who had entered the Ghost Realm.

It was certain that all the books were hidden in the ghost realm, and that the fact that the living could suddenly obtain them meant that someone must have come in and found the books.

Furthermore, the connection with the Ghost Lord of Zhongdu was severed, and the ghost general who managed it could not sense the aura of this subordinate.

Rong Yi had a veil wrapped around his head and wore goggles. The area they had come to was extremely windy and dusty, with gravel rolling around in the wind, while the cage holding Jin Ning Ghost Lord floated beside them.

"Luckily, I kept these goggles." Rong Yi adjusted his lenses and looked at the female ghost beside him. "So, is there a direction you dislike?"

The more Jin Ning Ghost King resisted a place, the more they would head in that direction, and that's how they found many books.

The female ghost pointed in a direction, her voice particularly weak, "I can't get too close there, the intimidation is too strong."

This is good news. Wei Yanqing put it away. "With such a strong reaction, it might not be far from us."

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally saw the spire of the building. Compared to the smaller buildings we had seen before, this was a proper building, at least three or four meters tall.

Rong Yi pulled the crooked scarf up and said, "Looks like we've found a big one. There must be a lot of good stuff inside."

The two quickened their pace as the sandstorm intensified, with fine sand slapping against their glasses. Through the gauze scarf, they could feel the stinging sensation of tiny grains of sand hitting their cheeks.

Rong Yi activated the protective shield on his body, immediately feeling much more relaxed. He patted Wei Yanqing with the back of his hand and pointed to his own equipment, "Use this, don't waste energy."

Using mental energy to maintain the defense can achieve the same effect, but replenishing the energy consumed would require more than one ghost crystal, so it's better to use a tool.

Wei Yanqing slapped the device under his collar with his palm, instantly raising a slightly yellowish protective shield.

"What tools will we use this time..." Before he could finish speaking, Wei Yanqing froze, then quickly pulled her back and tumbled over.

boom--!

The spot where they were standing was blown into a huge crater.

"I knew they were here, I could smell them!" The voice was rough and unpleasant, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"That's also your fault. Besides their scent, this place also smells like your territory. There must be some of your subordinates who betrayed the Ghost Realm and led them there. Otherwise, how could they have found so many forbidden books in our vast Ghost Realm in just a few days?"

Rong Yi looked up and saw that the ghost who had just spoken had a cold expression, unlike the three ghosts beside him who were ferocious and eerie.

"Hmph!" The ghost being accused looked like an old man, with his hair tied in a pigtail pointing upwards, and held a large bone knife made of human leg bones.

“Fifth rank, superior,” Wei Yanqing said.

Rong Yi instantly realized that the four giant ghosts in front of him were ghost generals from the ghost realm.

She's only around level 3, and she could try to fight one of them in a two-on-one battle, but with four of them, she definitely can't fight them to the death.

Rong Yi quickly grabbed Wei Yanqing's hand, took out the token and tried to leave, but as soon as the token left the storage compartment, it slipped from her hand and flew into the hand of the ghost general with the upturned braid.

"You little thief, you stole my token!" it roared.

Depend on!

It's a real blunder that this token could fly back to its original owner!

Rong Yi was ready to erupt again, and gestured to Wei Yanqing to run away later.

At this moment, the ghost general with a cold face and white hair looked at Wei Yanqing. It sniffed carefully a few times, its eyes revealing excitement, "Great Spirit Body."

After saying that, he disappeared and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Upon hearing this, the other three ghost generals all took action.

Seeing him suddenly appear in front of him, Rong Yi's body moved faster than his mind. He raised his leg to kick high, but the white-haired ghost general grabbed his ankle. He immediately used his other leg to kick the white-haired ghost general in the chest and abdomen, but was grabbed again. The ghost general then threw him away with both hands.

Before landing, Rong Yi braced himself with his hands, flipped in the air, and stabilized his body.

The white-haired ghost general looked at his hands. "No wonder you were able to get the token."

Taking advantage of a brief lull in their fight, Wei Yanqing drifted away to Rong Yi's side and whispered, "They want to eat me. They're much more hostile towards me than towards you. You should run first."

Rong Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he thought to himself, "This is the Ghost Realm, and without the token, we can only wait for this place to automatically reject us and fight together."

The Ghost Realm is flat, so there's nowhere to hide. Besides, in such a vast Ghost Realm, there are only two living people, so it's easy to find them within a certain area.

She added, "When shooting around that building, I don't think they'll be affected much, but their instinct is to keep their distance."

After a brief standoff, the four ghost generals lost their patience and attacked like a storm.

Just as Rong Yi was about to meet him, Wei Yanqing suddenly grabbed her arm. Looking up, Rong Yi followed his gaze and saw a person standing in the air. A gust of wind swept by, but the person's long hair and clothes remained perfectly still.

She raised her hand: "Feng Jing."

The gale seemed to have been paused.

Just one word...

The ghost generals who were about to rush forward pushed back, and in their eyes, besides vigilance, there was also an unconcealable fear.

The person landed quietly, and Rong Yi saw her clearly. She was a very young woman with long, curly, thick, and smooth black hair. Her phoenix eyes were clear and bright, with slightly upturned corners. Her facial features were soft and her forehead was full. Looking at her, he felt a sense of bewilderment, as if all his secrets had been seen through.

She first looked at Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing for a while before shifting her gaze to the four ghost generals.

"This is the realm of ghosts, not a place to trespass." The white-haired ghost general spoke with a firm tone, but the fear on his face could not be hidden, and his voice trembled slightly when he said the words "trespass."

The woman didn't speak, but simply beckoned, and the token that the ghost general had taken back flew into her hand. She carefully stroked the token, saying, "It is a condensation of the power of rules; how could you possibly take it?"

Rong Yi noticed that, apart from the white-haired ghost general, the other three bodies were trembling.

Who exactly was this person? Neither she nor Wei Yanqing felt any intimidation from him.

The woman gripped the token and whispered to the four ghost generals, "Disperse."

The four ghost generals instantly collapsed, their souls dissipating into mist, and the four ghost crystals fell to the ground.

The woman seemed to sigh, "Ghost Crystal... really has no chance of reincarnation."

Reincarnation?

Rong Yi thought he had misheard, "May I ask who you are?"

This powerful stranger showed no hostility towards them from the moment he appeared. Could he be a friend from before she lost her memory?

The woman turned around and smiled gently, "Hello, my name is Shen Congran."

I almost skipped the second daughter's self-introduction to the next chapter, but I put it at the end of this chapter because I was afraid you would all hate me. Her appearance in this scenario was something I had planned a long time ago. I had this idea when I was writing books before, to let the characters from different books meet each other, and I did it in this one!
