When the three Ghost Kings saw Xia Tianqiong escape, they were about to give chase, but were stopped by the Ghost Bride.
"King Qin, you should know that it's not just the three of us who want to kill him. There are also many treacherous kings behind us who have a grudge against him. Why should your Zhenyu Tower meddle in other people's business?"
The Snake-Headed Demon King was furious and looked ready to attack.
The ghost bride floated high in the sky, her red wedding dress and red veil fluttering in the wind.
“I advise you not to waste your time. That person has been reincarnated many times. Although there have been many hardships, he has always managed to turn danger into safety. Even if you chase after him, it will be of no use.”
"Whether or not we can kill him is our business. Please step aside."
"Hehe, I'm right here, come and try it."
Without further ado, the Ghost Bride floated over and stood atop the tower, facing off against the three Ghost Kings.
Upon seeing the Prison Tower, the three Ghost Kings grew increasingly solemn, exchanging bewildered glances, and ultimately dared not make a move.
At this moment, we are in the southeast direction of the capital.
The Silver Fir Clan elder and a group of ghost generals gathered here, only a few dozen miles away.
They had been in the human world for some time and, through some special means, discovered that Xia Tianqiong was in the capital, so they rushed over.
But the capital was shrouded in the King of Chess's mysterious domain, so they had no choice but to wait outside.
They were quite surprised to witness a battle between two demon kings.
Originally, it was thought that Xia Tianqiong would die in this battle, but unexpectedly, he escaped into the Ghost Realm.
The elder of the Silver Fir clan gazed at the crack that stretched across the sky in the distance and suddenly spoke: "Let's return to the Ghost Realm and chase after Xia Tianqiong. Time is running out, we must capture him!"
A Void Clan general objected, "He's already attracting the attention of so many Void Kings, why should we get involved in this mess?"
Just as the Silver Fir Clan elder was about to speak, a ghost general from the Netherworld Hungry Wolves interrupted, saying, "In the eyes of the Ghost King, we ghost generals are nothing. They won't care if we chase after them, and besides, they don't know our purpose."
The Silver Fir Clan elder nodded and smiled, "That's right, there won't be any problem for us to chase after Xia Tianqiong. Even if the Ghost Kings know, they won't care."
The matter was settled. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the various Ghost Kings, the other Ghost Generals and Ghosts entered the Ghost Domain of the Silver Fir Clan Elder, while the Silver Fir Clan Elder himself went to the spatial rift.
The crack extends beyond the capital city, allowing entry from outside the capital.
As expected, the various Ghost Kings remained locked in a standoff in the sky, ignoring the Silver Fir Clan Elder.
Once the Void-Breaking Bus entered the Ghost Realm, it sped off at full speed.
Xia Tianqiong sat blankly in the driver's seat, no longer interested in controlling the steering wheel.
The last words of the haunted bride kept echoing in my ears.
In the past, he would have been overjoyed, but now, he was filled with doubt.
The Ghost Bride once told him that unsealing the Wujian Restaurant was to make him a Ghost God, then break the shackles of heaven and earth and go to the upper realm.
Since she's going to the Upper Realm anyway, why marry him? What is she after?
Furthermore, the Ghost Bride already knew that he would be devoured by Jun Shisan, which meant that he was doomed. So what was the point of marrying him?
After thinking for a long time, I still had no clue.
There's no time to think about it now; we still have immediate difficulties to solve.
Xia Tianqiong never expected that Jun Shisan's enemy would bring her to her death.
If only I had one or a few Ghost Kings under my command, I wouldn't be chased like a stray dog.
He summoned all the demon generals and asked, "Which of you has a chance of being promoted to Demon King in the near future?"
The group of cunning generals looked at each other, their faces showing reluctance.
When Xiao Tao saw him staring at her, she quickly shook her head, "Boss, I don't know when I'll be able to break through, I don't feel anything."
Old Man Wang reminded her from the side, "To advance to the level of Ghost King, one must comprehend one's own Dao. This requires talent, but even more so, it requires opportunity. It's not an easy advancement. Don't be fooled by the fact that Xiao Tao is only one step away from becoming a Ghost King. She might not be able to break through even after tens of thousands of years."
Seeing that Xia Tianqiong's expression was not good, he added, "Of course, it is also possible that he will suddenly break through at some moment, it's hard to say."
Xia Tianqiong suddenly took out a chessboard and stared at the copper coins on it. "Elder Huo said that devouring the consciousness of the Chess King would give one a chance to advance to the Ghost King level. How much do you know about this?"
Although the Chess King ultimately helped to resist the Ghost King, if he hadn't caused trouble in the capital, Xia Tianqiong wouldn't have appeared there, and the three Ghost Kings wouldn't have descended to the mortal realm.
Ultimately, it was all his fault that he caused the trouble, so Xia Tianqiong has no intention of returning it.
Besides, the Chess King's consciousness might give rise to a Demon King; only a fool would return it to him.
The old woman in the shroud explained, "By devouring the consciousness of other demon kings, one can directly comprehend their 'Dao.' This is indeed a quick way, but there is also a high chance of failure, because the other party's 'Dao' may not be suitable for oneself."
Xia Tianqiong nodded slightly, "No matter what, we have to try. The key now is how to break the seal. Anyone who has a solution can try."
He handed the chessboard to the various cunning generals, and they tried it one by one, but none of them could break the seal.
Old Huo's strength isn't that great, but this seal is very strong.
Old Man Wang suddenly remembered something, and his face lit up with excitement. “Boss, I once lost a bet to you and gave you a treasure. Do you remember? That treasure can help a peak Ghost General advance to Ghost King, and the success rate is very high.”
Upon hearing this, all the ghosts on the bus perked up.
Xia Tianqiong hurriedly asked, "What kind of treasure is it? You wouldn't tell me before, only saying that I could only retrieve it when I had ten Ghost Generals."
Old Man Wang coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed. "Actually, that's not my thing. It's a special item guarded by several animal-shaped monsters. It's said to be a crystallized memory left behind when a certain monster king fell."
