Ah Jiang's face remained expressionless, and he did not move.

He looked over, but Ah Jiang didn't even glance at him, clearly telling him to make his own decision and not to regret it once he did.

Luo Sheng weighed the strength of both sides. He was afraid he couldn't force A Jiang to take him away, but he felt guilty about abandoning A Jiang.

The female ghost had lost her patience. Many eerie will-o'-the-wisps lit up around them, illuminating everyone's faces. One of them grabbed Luo Sheng's sleeve and said tremblingly, "Immortal Luo, let's go quickly."

"Yes, senior brother, there's really nothing we can do about the current situation."

One of Luo Sheng's junior fellow students also said.

"Fairy Jiang, what do you think?" Luo Sheng asked, forcing himself to speak.

The female ghost was no longer in a hurry; it seemed she was planning to watch a good show.

“I understand.” A-Jiang said calmly, and Luo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could catch his breath, he heard Ah Jiang continue, "If we were in each other's shoes, what would Elder Luo want me to do?"

If the female ghost left behind Luo Sheng and the others, A Jiang and the other two could leave on their own. So, Luo Sheng, what do you want me to do?

Luo Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we all hope that you are safe and sound."

Ajahn Chah listened without any particular expression and said, "As you wish."

After saying this, she walked into the white bone building first, brushing past the ugly female ghost, with Tao Pianpian and Xiao Songjing following closely behind.

The female ghost smiled smugly, waved her hand dismissively, and turned to enter her demon tower.

The five-story demon tower returned to its original height of three stories, its doors tightly shut, and the summoning banners at the entrance still swayed in the cold wind. Luo Sheng and the others were still somewhat doubtful whether they had really escaped this calamity.

It was drizzling, and the rain was much heavier than before.

The Ten Thousand Bones Demon Tower, which was so close at hand, became blurred in the rain and gradually disappeared.

The group stood in the wind and rain, the firebird halo around them gradually dimming and eventually shattering.

It was only when the cold rain lashed down on them that they remembered that the reason they had been unharmed when they approached the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Tower and the Soul-Summoning Banner was because of A-Jiang's protection.

Now, she and Yaolou have disappeared without a trace, but the place is still as desolate and rainy as before, with eerie ghost lights flickering in the distance. It doesn't look like they've escaped at all.

Luo Sheng's sect of eight, who were guarding a dozen or so mortals, all died at the hands of wandering ghosts outside.

After entering the Demon Tower, all the sounds outside disappeared, and it was pitch black all around, with only the three people beside them visible.

The female ghost's voice echoed eerily: "I'm on the fifth floor. If you have the guts, come and see me. If not, die in this building and become nourishment for this Ten Thousand Bones Demon Tower, hahaha."

"I don't know why female ghosts and demons like to laugh so wildly."

Tao Pianpian muttered this sentence to herself from behind.

Aren't you scared?

Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, Xiao Songjing turned to ask her.

"I'm not scared. Apart from that female ghost being a bit powerful, there's nothing to be afraid of here."

A-Jiang explained to Xiao Songjing, "She ate the immortal peaches that grew from the thousand-year-old peach tree, and now she has the body of a peach spirit, which is most effective against evil spirits. So what she said is true. The wandering ghosts here dare not come over, otherwise they will all be burned by her."

Tao Pianpian tilted her head back triumphantly, but A Jiang poured cold water on her, saying, "However, even so, we may not be able to escape successfully."

"What, Ah Jiang, you're kidding, right?"

Tao Pianpian's imposing manner vanished completely; actually, she's quite afraid of ghosts, you know.

“No joke. Although I have been cultivating on the mountain for many years and have been taken care of by my elders, my talismans and magical artifacts are considered quite good in the cultivation world. However,” A-Jiang paused before saying, “I am only at the Qi Refining stage and have never actually fought or battled.”

"Qi Refining stage..."

Although the Great Perfection of Qi Refining is considered quite powerful in the mortal world, the female ghost before them is clearly even more powerful.

"Then aren't we doomed?"

"Then what do we do?"

"I'll take this time to practice some spells and try my best to kill some ghosts to weaken the power of this demon tower. That way, I'll have a better chance of success."

"Is it too late to cultivate here?"

"Won't the female ghost interfere?"

"Don't worry, I'm prepared,"

She pulled out a booklet and dozens of talismans, and said to Tao Pianpian:

"Your physique is well-suited to this cultivation method. It comes with three spells: Fireball, Firebird, and Flying Phoenix. You currently possess spiritual energy, but you don't know how to utilize it. Read this book several times to familiarize yourself with the basic methods of spiritual energy operation, and you will be able to use the spells."

"Really?"

Tao Pianpian asked excitedly, she hadn't expected learning magic to be so simple.
