"Ah—woo—" A scream rang out from not far away.
Jiang Yuan looked up and saw that near the underworld gate she had opened, another large gate had opened.
Unlike the underworld gate she opened, that gate emanated a tremendous, terrifying, and suffocating power.
Countless skeletal hands reached out from inside the door, grabbed the ghosts, and pulled them directly into the doorway.
It was fast, like a ghost.
Those skeletal hands can extend, and each time they devour a ghost, the door grows larger.
It's like...
It was as if something was about to come out of it.
Jiang Yuan's expression was gloomy and unpleasant, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
If she hadn't known before who opened so many gates to the underworld...
Then, after seeing the door, she understood.
It was opened by the ghost king that was suppressed within the spirit of the lamp!
Yes, the underworld doesn't have that kind of power.
But the Ghost King in the Underworld has it!
Even this door was opened by that ghost king!
She was all too familiar with its power!
She saw the ghost king when she wove her soul with her body. It was pitch black and had no form, just like a person's resentment.
However, it does have eyes.
She looked into its eyes when her physical body perished.
Just looking into its eyes made her tremble, and she made up her mind that she absolutely could not let such an evil thing come out of the lamp spirit!
This door was opened by the Ghost King, so...
Once it has eaten its fill of ghosts, won't the Ghost King be...?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
She leaped forward, heading towards the open gates of the underworld.
As soon as she got close, countless skeletal hands attacked her. Jiang Yuan dodged them like a nimble swallow, picked up her pen and waved it, causing the skeletal hands to disperse.
As the ghosts were devoured, half of the ghosts still in the mortal world squeezed into the underworld gate she had opened.
The other half fled in all directions, terrified.
They instinctively sensed something terrifying inside the second gate to the underworld that had opened.
They will be eaten!
Jiang Yuan blocked the white bone, and the resentment on the white bone's hand slowly dissipated in all directions.
Jiang Yuan bit her lip until blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her mouth was filled with a metallic taste.
The pain made her mind race with thoughts.
The Ghost King has awakened!
They simply lacked the ability to break the seal on the lamp spirit.
That's why the traitor in the underworld used the power of the Ghost King to open the gates of the underworld on the day of the Hundred Ghosts Parade, allowing the ghosts to escape from the underworld.
They were released back into the mortal world so that they could become nourishment for the Ghost King!
They took a different approach, bypassing the spirits of the lamps and emerging from the gates of the underworld!
That's their real purpose!
Jiang Yuan felt a continuous flow of power surging into her body, but her body was already beyond its limits.
Meanwhile, from within the gates of the underworld, countless resentful thoughts surged forth…
A sense of resentment lingered in the sky above.
The skeletal hand reached out from the suffocating, oppressive resentment, swiftly and accurately seizing the fleeing ghosts.
Once caught, they immediately pulled the ghost into it.
Bang--
A golden light flashed and struck the skeletal hand.
The hand slowly released its grip on the ghost, and the hand gradually corroded before finally shrinking back into the mass of resentment.
It's less a sign of resentment and more a sign of a door!
A door opened from the spirit of the lamp to the mortal world!
Despite Jiang Yuan's best efforts to protect the ghosts, she still couldn't stop so many skeletal hands and such a large door!
With a crack, the judge's pen in his hand split open again.
The fragments, painstakingly pieced together, detached from the pen, fell to the ground, and eventually dissipated.
Jiang Yuan looked displeased.
Just then, a dark shadow swiftly attacked from mid-air.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, flicked her pen at the dark figure, and quickly conjured a barrier.
But as she made this move, the skeletons behind her seemed to have a mind of their own and took advantage of the gap to rush towards the ghost that Jiang Yuan was protecting.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan turned around and, without hesitation, blocked the skeletal hands that were rushing towards the ghosts.
Among these ghosts are some extremely evil ones, and some good ones.
Good and bad are mixed together.
How could she possibly abandon them and leave them to their own devices?
Seeing this, the dark figure struck Jiang Yuan, hitting him squarely in the abdomen.
A surge of black energy rushed into Jiang Yuan's body. Jiang Yuan raised her hand, grabbed the black shadow, and twisted it forcefully, causing the black shadow in front of her to vanish into thin air.
However, as the shadowy figure dissipated, several more shadowy figures emerged from the surrounding area and headed towards Jiang Yuan without hesitation.
It seemed as if they had only one goal: Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan's eyes were icy cold.
The moment she took off her mask, that traitor in the underworld already knew who her soul was possessing!
In other words, that person was watching nearby when Yi Changsheng dealt with her.
Is the other person nearby now?
Jiang Yuan glanced around, but all she saw were bones and resentment.
The dark figures rushed over, and Jiang Yuan raised her hand to block the one in front of her, but the one behind her immediately followed.
In mid-air, Jiang Yuan fought them back and forth.
First, he crushed one dark shadow, then immediately trampled another dark shadow to pieces.
Behind her, a dark figure bumped into Jiang Yuan when she wasn't paying attention, and Jiang Yuan's face turned pale.
She had no strength left.
Not only was he weak, but all the power in his body had been used to open the gates to the underworld.
The situation is absolutely terrible.
She sent Ye You back and also used a talisman to contact Grandpa Judge and other officials in the underworld.
But there was no response...
It's clear that something happened to them too!
Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking, several dark figures surrounded her.
Jiang Yuan lost her footing and fell from mid-air.
