Hong Yuan was aware of this as well.
She and Gui Li exchanged a glance, and they nodded to each other, making the same decision.
The next second, a circular, jet-black magical artifact suddenly shot towards the corner of the stone pillar on the right.
Just as it was about to hit the stone pillar, it suddenly veered off course and slashed at the back of the pillar.
At the critical moment, a humanoid phantom appeared, its form shifting, instantly appearing ten feet away.
Hong Yuan growled, "Slay!"
A black sword light, over ten feet long, fell from the sky.
The moment the sword light fell, countless vengeful spirits with distorted faces rushed out and frantically attacked the opponent's mental sea.
The illusory figure remained motionless, its hands clasped together, managing to withstand the earth-shattering sword strike solely with its physical strength.
Hong Yuan's attack missed, so she had to recall her flying sword first.
The ring flew back in sync, rapidly hovering around her and Gui Li, protecting them both.
"Who are you? Why are you following us?"
The illusory figure revealed its true form; who else could it be but Liu Chen?
When Liu Chen realized that they had discovered him, he was not anxious. Instead, he put some distance between them and put on a kind smile.
"Excuse me, is there some misunderstanding between you?"
I was just passing by; you all meant me no harm.
Even if you told that to a ghost, it wouldn't believe you.
Taihuang Valley is an extremely dangerous forbidden area; for ordinary people to venture in, the chance of death is slim.
However, neither Hong Yuan nor Gui Li dared to make a move rashly again.
They were a group of people working together, and with the help of magical treasures provided by their sect, they barely managed to set foot in this place.
But Liu Chen barged in all by himself.
To some extent, this is enough to prove Liu Chen's extraordinary strength.
Interestingly, the other Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators kept a distance from both sides.
Instead of getting close to Gui Li and Hong Yuan, they chose to remain neutral.
Gui Li's face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but reprimand him through telepathy.
"What are you doing? Come here right now!"
Those men, however, were determined to disobey the two men's orders.
"You don't value our lives, so why should we be expected to risk our lives for you?"
Following in Gui Li's footsteps, we'll soon be used as cannon fodder.
Now that someone has come to disrupt things, it has given them a chance to escape.
Even though they couldn't tell what kind of treasure the token was or what kind of mark it had.
However, such a master-slave control contract formed hastily in a short period of time must have a major flaw.
That is, if the distance between the two parties is too great, it is impossible to accurately control the other party.
This means that as long as you find a way to stay away from the red kites.
Then Hong Yuan would no longer be able to control their lives and deaths.
Once the Blood Forbidden Realm ended and she went out to find her master and elders, Hong Yuan had no choice but to lift the restrictions for them.
Each of the three parties had its own agenda, and none dared to make a move rashly.
Only Liu Chen looked relaxed, his gaze fixed on the figure high above.
“I don’t know who he is, but he’s definitely not the Daoist Baibao you’re talking about.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Li's expression changed repeatedly.
"What, what did you say?"
Liu Chen initially wanted to point upwards, but after thinking about it, he withdrew his outstretched finger.
"This person has the aura of an emperor, he is clearly an emperor-like figure."
The cultivation method he practices must be the kind that grants him absolute supremacy over heaven and earth, and certainly not the so-called Daoist Duobaibao.
He had been hiding in the shadows and witnessed the whole thing, so he noticed something amiss.
The Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator who died after stepping onto the high platform was not killed by the formation.
Instead, he was killed by that already dead body.
The emperor's authority cannot be insulted. No matter how powerful you are, you must submit to the emperor.
To rashly look the emperor in the eye will invite his wrath.
Therefore, people did not experience much oppression when standing on the steps.
Just as they reached the same height as the figure, they all died unexpectedly.
Gui Li and Hong Yuan were unsure whether to believe him.
This sounds like a fantasy.
Liu Chen didn't care about their attitude and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this person is probably not from the lower realm. Even among immortals, he must be an Emperor among immortals."
Otherwise, a body depleted of spiritual energy wouldn't possess such power. If someone were to obtain his body and inherit his power, ascending to the Immortal Realm, or even becoming an Immortal Emperor, wouldn't be impossible.
His words were somewhat exaggerated.
Under normal circumstances, no one would easily believe it.
Recalling the strange noises from before, and the other party's godlike and demonic aura.
The cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect were all burning with excitement.
Even Gui Li and Hong Yuan's expressions shifted between joy and gloom.
This is a legacy at the level of an Immortal Emperor!
If what Liu Chen said is true, then this is the greatest opportunity they will ever encounter in their lives.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is a chance to defy fate.
They completely disregarded sect missions and their master's orders.
Given enough benefits, even betraying one's sect is not impossible.
Fortunately, Liu Chen didn't intend to listen to their explanations.
His body surged with golden flames, transforming him into a dazzling fireman.
"Gentlemen, today it's either you die or I live; only one of us can walk out alive."
Hong Yuan frantically activated the red token, attempting to control everyone.
Those cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect had long ago joined forces to use the secret techniques of the Ghost Path, completely isolating themselves from the outside world.
The red token can control movement, but cultivators can resist it briefly.
