"If the Soul-Breaking Sword hadn't been lost, I wouldn't be in such a mess."

As Baili Pangpang ran, he missed the Soul-Breaking Sword that disappeared into the depths of the earth along with Shen Qingzhu. There were too few forbidden objects that could cause harm to the soul, and even he only had that one.

More and more ghosts gathered behind the four people. They rushed towards Cao Yuan like crazy. The whimpering sounds brushed past the ears of the four people like a cold wind, as if someone was crying, begging, and... roaring.

"Please, save us!"

"Please save me! Please save me! If I continue like this, I will become a ghost too!!"

"No... I want to transcend, I want to reincarnate again!"

"You can obviously do it, why don't you save me? Why?!"

"Please, even if you can't save me, at least save my child. Please..."

"…"

The transcendental scriptures that Cao Yuan created at the cost of his own practice have too strong an appeal to ghosts, especially those lonely ghosts who have been trapped in this ghost town for nearly a hundred years because of the disappearance of ghosts and gods. Their desire for transcendence and rebirth has become an obsession!

Cao Yuan is their only hope.

"Turn right!!"

The four of them came to a fork in the road, and Li Deyang shouted again.

Baili Pangpang turned around and ran to the right with them, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Li, how long will it take to get to the door? If we continue like this, we will really die here!"

Li Deyang was stunned, "What door?"

The four men who were running wildly were shocked.

"What?" Cao Yuan turned around suddenly, "Aren't you directing the way back to the bronze gate?"

"It's so dark, how can I remember to clear the way?"

"Then what you shouted..."

"I just yelled casually."

"…"

Damn it, I’m dead this time!

Baili Pangpang almost vomited blood. He never expected that he had been following Li Deyang for such a long time and it was actually just based on his feeling!

But this cannot be blamed on Li Deyang. There was not a single light in the entire ghost town. They could only rely on the flashlights in their hands to determine the direction. After being chased by a group of ghosts for so long, they had already rushed into the depths of the ghost town. How could they see the way back?

Ahead, the four of them came to a fork in the road again.

"Turn left!!" Li Deyang started guessing again.

"Bah, follow me this time and turn right!!"

As soon as Baili Pangpang said this, he was about to turn right. In the alley on the right, a large number of pale paper people swarmed towards him like a white wave!

"Fuck, listen to Uncle Li!"

Baili Pangpang slammed on the brakes and followed the four people into the alley on the left.

The speed of the paper ghost soldiers was faster than Baili Pangpang and others. In a moment, they surpassed the ghosts who were chasing them, and the distance between them and the four people began to shrink rapidly.

"【Yaoguang】!!"

Baili Pangpang stretched out his hand and touched his chest, and a ray of golden light gathered into a shining sword, which instantly passed behind everyone and slashed straight at the paper man ghost soldiers who were chasing them!

At this moment, all the paper figures folded instantly and turned into pieces of thin white paper, easily avoiding the attack of [Yao Guang]. The huge sword light swept past but did not hurt even a single paper figure.

boom--!!

The golden sword light swept across the surrounding low houses and directly destroyed a mud house. Billowing smoke and dust filled the air behind the four people. Then the figures of the paper figures rushed out from the smoke and dust again, like maggots attached to the bones, which could not be shaken off at all.

Just when the four were about to be caught up, a group of magnificent black palaces appeared faintly at the end of the road ahead.

These black halls are glowing with a dark glow, and their materials seem to be the same as the city walls outside. The architectural style is eerie and strange, but from a distance, they are majestic and give people a strong sense of oppression!

"We're about to be caught up!" An Qingyu looked back at the paper man that was only a hundred meters away from the crowd, frowned and said.

Cao Yuan stared at those halls. For some reason, he felt a little scared. The oppressive feeling of these halls made him feel creepy.

But in the current situation, there is no other choice.

"Rush in and close the door!" Cao Yuan shouted loudly.

The four of them used all their strength and rushed to the door of one of the halls. Baili Pangpang stretched out his hand and pushed hard on the vermilion hall door!

The red palace door opened lightly, as if it had no weight. After the four people rushed in quickly, Li Deyang and Cao Yuan each held a door and closed it with force...

The moment the paper man outside the door was about to float to the door, the vermilion palace door closed completely, leaving no gap.

They stopped in front of the door, retreated a few meters as if in fear, hesitated for a moment, and then scattered.

Behind the door.

Baili Pangpang was breathing heavily, beads of sweat were dripping down his cheeks, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes:

"Damn, what on earth are those paper figures? Why do they feel different from the ones we saw in the abandoned forest farm?"

An Qingyu nodded. "Their facial features are more delicate, as if they were alive... and I always feel like I have seen those faces somewhere before."

"I think so too." Cao Yuan nodded heavily.

Li Deyang let out a long sigh, then as if he had thought of something, he shone a flashlight around him.

The space inside the hall is very large. When the flashlight beam is shone overhead, only a small area can be seen clearly. Under the white light, the black roof covered with blue-grey Taoist characters is as deep as the night sky. On both sides are huge pillars supporting the hall. Each pillar is as thick as five or six people can hug, and is also covered with blue-grey Taoist characters.

"Where...is this place?" Li Deyang frowned slightly.

"When I just came in, there seemed to be a plaque at the door, but I couldn't see clearly what was written on it." Cao Yuan said helplessly.

"The Seventh Sect Spirit is not the Heavenly Palace." An Qingyu suddenly spoke up, "I see it clearly."

"Zongling Qifei Tiangong?" Li Deyang scratched his head in confusion, "This name seems a little familiar..."

"It is one of the six palaces in Luofeng in the legend." Cao Yuan said thoughtfully, "In the Daxia Taoist mythology, the underworld is ruled by Fengdu Emperor, and under him are the Five Ghost Emperors. In Fengdu, there are six palaces of ghosts and gods, known as the Six Heavens of Luofeng. Each palace is guarded by a ghost god... Zongling Qifei Palace is one of the palaces."

"You mean, this is Fengdu?" Baili Pangpang's eyes widened, "No wonder there are so many ghosts... Then we broke into a heavenly palace, it shouldn't be dangerous, right?"

"I don't know, but what is certain is that all the ghosts and gods disappeared a hundred years ago. Now these six heavens of Luofeng are just empty palaces." Cao Yuan turned his head to look into the depths of the dark hall and spoke slowly.
