“Guest of the Soul Master, please follow us.” The leading Netherworld Guard turned to Li Yu and made a “please” gesture, his movements still stiff as iron.

Li Yu nodded calmly, and under the excited gazes of the Floating Squad, slowly stepped forward and stood in front of the Patrol Guard.

"Triangular guard formation for protection!" the lead patrol guard roared.

"yes!"

Three patrolling guards, like mobile fortresses, moved swiftly, forming a perfect equilateral triangle to protect Li Yu in the center.

Seeing the three large figures formed from white mist surrounding him and warily observing their surroundings, Li Yu had a sudden realization that even ghosts have things to be wary of.

Under the intense rule of the Soul Lord, the Ghost Kingdom seems to be rife with undercurrents and is not as peaceful as one might imagine.

It's definitely not a monolithic entity!

"Depart!" At the command, three patrol guards began their heavy escort.

They may look bulky, but they are incredibly fast!

Li Yu pushed off with her feet and easily caught up with them, and together they quickly ran towards the central area under their escort.

The patrolling guards nearby didn't forget to ask:

"Honorable guest, can you keep up with this speed?"

“No problem.” Li Yu nodded, adjusting his footsteps to be almost identical to those of the patrolling guards.

Escorted by three patrolling guards, Li Yu was like a locomotive being carried by three heavy tanks advancing at full speed, crashing and scrambling along at an astonishing speed.

After running in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, the scenery on both sides began to become increasingly monotonous. Li Yu asked in a deep voice:

Where are we going?

"Deep Tower." The leading underworld guard didn't even turn his head.

The Deep Tower... This wasn't the first time Li Yu had heard this term. The Soul Master, who proclaimed himself the Lord of Humanity and controlled the Wraiths, was clearly waiting for him there.

Li Yu, too, was looking forward to meeting this 'Lord of Humanity' who ruled over the ghosts.

Just then, the three patrol guards suddenly slowed down.

"Halt!" The lead patrol guard suddenly issued a short, low alarm.

"Prepare for battle! Protect the guests!"

The massive bodies of the three patrolling guards came to an abrupt halt, suddenly shifting from extreme motion to utter stillness!

A massive horse-slaying blade, formed from highly condensed gray-white mist, instantly materialized in the hands of the Netherworld Guard!

The edge of the blade gleamed with a chilling light!

They looked ahead warily, like ferocious beasts poised to pounce, their eyes fixed on the passage ahead.

Li Yu followed their gaze.

In the center of the passage not far ahead, a ghost stood silently.

In Li Yu's view, it was just an ordinary ghost.

Dressed like a human, with the same physique as a human, and even with a physique one-to-one with a human, these ghosts even have a slightly emaciated appearance.

If it weren't for the dense white mist emanating from the other party and their semi-transparent body, Li Yu would have almost thought that the person standing not far away was a real person.

The ghost stopped the patrolling guard. Although it had become a ghost, it still subconsciously raised its hand to straighten its non-existent clothes.

This subtle and dignified gesture is full of humanity.

Its gaze swept over the three menacing underworld guards:

"I'm sorry to block your way, but if you want to eat people, you'll have to get past me first!"

Finally, the ghost's gaze fell on Li Yu, who was being closely guarded by the Underworld Guards, and there was even a hint of complicated emotion in his eyes.

Clearly, this ghost had already discerned that Li Yu was a human, not the high-level alien beast that the entire Ghost Kingdom claimed to be.

They mistakenly believed that the three patrol guards were going to escort Li Yu to the Soul Master for "enjoyment"!

That's why I had to step in and stop them.

Upon seeing the ghost blocking their path, the leading underworld guards instantly unleashed a chilling killing intent and extreme disgust.

It pointed its saber directly at the opponent, its voice hoarse:

"He is a traitor to humanity! Kill him! Purify the filth."

"Kill!" the other two patrol guards roared at the same time.

Three enormous figures, carrying a ferocious aura capable of crushing everything, crashed down upon the lone ghost blocking their path.

The patrol guards worked together seamlessly, quickly surrounding him completely.

The leading attack was a direct assault, with a massive, piercing slash of a saber descending with a shrill, tearing sound through the air!

The other two patrol guards flanked from the left and right like ghosts, ruthlessly slashing at the ghost's waist, abdomen, and legs!

The three-pronged attack was like a storm, sealing off all room for maneuver!

The ghost, known as a traitor to humanity, reacted swiftly, ducking and sidestepping to narrowly avoid the devastating blow that seemed to split mountains and shatter rocks!

However, the mist blades attacking from the left and right were already upon him!

The ghost spun rapidly, instantly conjuring a crude shield made of thin white mist in its hand in an attempt to block.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two muffled thuds, and the mist shield was easily torn apart as if it were made of paper!

The white mist on its left arm and right leg was instantly sliced ​​off by the horse-slaying sword.

The ghost fluctuated violently and let out a painful groan!

Despite the excruciating pain, it advanced instead of retreating, conjuring a long, thin spike in its hand and stabbing it at the leading Netherworld Guard.

bite!

With a crisp sound, the spike left only a tiny white dot on the thick fog armor of the Netherworld Guard.

"Overestimating your abilities!" The leader of the patrolling guards was the first to attack.

He charged towards the ghost in one stride, slashing horizontally across the ghost's abdomen with his broadsword.

The ghost screamed and flew backward.

Two patrolling guards on the left and right pounced on him like shadows, pinning him firmly to the ground!

The outcome is decided! An absolute crushing defeat!

Although it fought back with all its might, the gap was too large, and it was outnumbered.
