Speaking of the Demon King and Lu Zhou, Netherworld’s expression was a bit grave.

“The Demon King and Peak Master Lu have already headed to Ghost Mountain and have not returned yet.”

​

He initially wanted to follow them. However, after knowing that the Demon King had entered Ghost Mountain, the ambitious clans started to become restless.

His current status was given to him by the Demon King. Now that the Demon King was not around, he had to guard the Demon Realm for him. He could not let those demons succeed.

“What?”

Official Lu stood up. “You’re saying that they’ve already entered Ghost Mountain?”

“That’s right!”

Netherworld nodded. “After they returned to the Demon Realm, they headed straight for Ghost Mountain. It has been more than half a month since they entered.”

Lu Sheng frowned. “In that case, Elder Huan Yue really succeeded?”

“Speaking of which, it’s all my fault. I should have realized that something was amiss earlier!”

Netherworld blamed himself.

Half a month ago, there was a commotion in the east of the Demon Realm. He thought that an elder of the demon race was advancing and did not pay much attention.

It was only when the tremors became more frequent that he became suspicious and sent someone to check.

However, those people quickly returned to report that the boundary of Ghost Mountain had been broken.

In his shock, he was about to inform the Demon King when the Demon King and Lu Zhou returned.

After that, the Demon King and Lu Zhou went to Ghost Mountain. There was still no news until now.

He had been worried about the Demon King these few days and had to be wary of the other races’ actions.

“No, I have to go in and take a look!”

Official Lu turned into black mist and quickly disappeared.

“I want to go too!”

Lu Sheng spoke to Chu Sihan.

Chu Sihan looked at Netherworld and said softly, “Tianxi, please send someone to guide us.”

“Your Highness and Miss Lu, please reconsider!”

Netherworld said with a serious expression, “The spirits in Ghost Mountain can be hundreds or even tens of thousands of years old. With your current strength, you’re not their match at all.”

“We know our limits.”

Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng stood up at the same time and continued, “If Tianxi can’t step away, please just send someone to guide us.”

Netherworld sighed softly. “Since you insist on going, I can’t stop you.”

“Xie Ran.”

When Xie Ran saw Netherworld calling for him, he hurried forward. “I’m here!”

“Bring His Highness and Miss Lu to the entrance of Ghost Mountain.”

“Yes!”

After instructing Xie Ran, Netherworld looked at Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng and said, “I have some matters to attend to and can’t leave anytime soon. Please take care!”

The duo nodded slightly.

“Please!”

Xie Ran waved his hand and a flower vine-shaped mount appeared outside the pavilion.

“Please!”

Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan nodded and sat up first. Xie Ran followed them.

After the three of them sat down, the flower vine-shaped mount soared into the sky and headed east.

The wind blew past her ears, and Lu Sheng’s face darkened.

Chu Sihan pursed his lips and did not know what to say.

The three of them remained silent throughout the journey.

After fifteen minutes, the flower vine-shaped mount gradually descended and landed at a secluded valley.

After Xie Ran dismounted from the flower vine-shaped mount, he bowed to the two of them and said, “We have arrived at the entrance of Ghost Mountain.”

Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan walked down. They looked around and frowned.

“Where should we enter from?” Lu Sheng asked Xie Ran.

This place was narrow and surrounded by mountains on all sides. There was not even a small path out. Looking up, it was filled with lush leaves. One could not see the top at all.

“Here!”

Xie Guan saw a crack between the two mountains and said, “If you enter from here, you will enter Ghost Mountain.”

“Who’s here?”

Xie Ran said lightly, “It’s me.”

A few demons jumped out and bowed hurriedly when they saw Xie Ran.

“So it’s Lord Xie Ran!”

“Greetings, Lord Xie Ran!”

They were demons sent by Netherworld to guard this place.

Now that the boundary was broken, the spirits inside could escape at any time. This place could not be left unattended.

Xie Ran nodded lightly. “Yes, you may leave.”

“Yes!”

The demons looked suspiciously at Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng before turning invisible again.

Chu Sihan went forward to check the crack and realized that it could accommodate someone.

He turned back and nodded at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng nodded at him and bowed to Xie Ran. “Thank you for leading the way. We’ll go in first.”

“Take care!”

Xie Ran stood at his original spot and watched the duo walk into the crack.

After they disappeared, he turned around and left.

Halfway there, it was pitch-black inside. They could not even see their fingers.

Chu Sihan took out a moon pearl and barely saw what was in front of him.

The crack was very long. The deeper they went, the bigger the crack became.

In the beginning, one could only follow another in a single file. Now, Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan could walk side by side.

It was cold inside and the sound of water dripping could be heard from time to time.

They could not see the end of the path ahead. They did not know how long they would have to walk to walk out of this crack.

Lu Sheng stared coldly in front and walked forward steadily.

Suddenly, her waist tightened and her surroundings darkened.

She was shocked at first, but then became puzzled.

She was about to ask when she heard Chu Sihan say in a low voice, “Shush! Don’t make a sound. Something’s coming.”

Lu Sheng was stunned. She lifted her eyes and looked ahead. There was a Ghost Fire floating, and it was slowly floating towards them.

“The Ghost Fire should be used by the spirits to scout the way.”

Chu Sihan observed for a while before speaking softly.

“What should we do? Do we end it?” Lu Sheng asked softly.

“I’ll settle it.”

Chu Sihan raised his hand and clenched it in the direction of the Ghost Fires. They were extinguished immediately.

“Let’s continue walking.”

After dealing with the Ghost Fires, the duo continued walking.

They encountered a few Ghost Fires in between, but they were easily settled by Chu Sihan each time.

When they reached the exit, they encountered a few more Ghost Fires.

After finishing those Ghost Fires, a furious roar suddenly came from outside the crack.

“Who destroyed my Ghost Fires?”

Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked out of the hole.

A burly soldier wearing armor stood at the entrance. He was glaring angrily at the entrance.

Lu Sheng tugged Chu Sihan’s sleeve and asked softly, “Lord, what should we do?”

“Sihan.”

Chu Sihan corrected her in a low voice.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

He was still fussing over this at a time like this…

“Is… is he a spirit?”

Chu Sihan glanced outside and nodded after a while. “If nothing goes wrong, he should be.”

Moreover, he seemed to be a spirit transformed by someone from the Immortal World.

It seemed troublesome for them to exit this hole.

Suddenly, black mist floated in front of the duo and transformed into a human.

It was Official Lu, who had gone ahead of them.

“Uncle, you’re here too!”

Lu Sheng thought that Official Lu had successfully entered Ghost Mountain.

Official Lu said in a low voice, “Uncle has killed a few spirits along the way. Their cultivation levels are not low. The one outside should have a ten-thousand-year-old cultivation level and was once a general of the Immortal World. You can’t deal with him.”

“A cultivation level of ten thousand years?!”

Chu Sihan frowned slightly. “Why are there such high-level spirits outside the borders?”

Could something have happened in the depths of Ghost Mountain?

“Could it be related to my master and Uncle Demon King?”

Lu Sheng stared outside and frowned.

“Most likely.”

Official Lu looked at Chu Sihan and said, “I’ll lure this spirit away first. Your Highness, bring Xiao Sheng in first.”

Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “Be careful.”

Official Lu said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll be fine.”

That ghost had a cultivation level of ten thousand years, but his cultivation level was not low either.

“Xiao Sheng, remember to follow your master closely after you see him.”

Official Lu instructed Lu Sheng in a low voice before transforming into black mist and flying out.

“What’s that?”

The warrior spirit turned around. When he saw the black mist again, he frowned and turned back to stare at the hole.

Spirits were also ghosts. Hence, this spirit mistakenly treated Official Lu as one of his kind. He thought that he was harmless, so he ignored him.

The battle inside was already chaotic. If he continued to stay here, he would only die.

He could not sit back and do nothing. He wanted to escape Ghost Mountain.

However, he was afraid that there were people with high cultivation levels like the two inside, so he did not dare to go out easily.

They sent a few low-level spirits to scout the way. Unexpectedly, they disappeared not long after entering.

He had no choice but to release the Ghost Fires to scout the way. However, if he released one, it would be destroyed. If he released two, they would also be destroyed.

Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to enter and go against the things inside.

After all, he did not know if the person inside was a human or a ghost, or how high his cultivation level was.

“I’m the one who destroyed your men and Ghost Fires.”

Official Lu transformed into his human form and spoke while standing behind this warrior spirit.

The warrior spirit suddenly turned around and narrowed his eyes at Official Lu.

“What did you say?”

Official Lu stood forward fearlessly and repeated expressionlessly, “I said, I destroyed your men and Ghost Fires.”

“You?”

The soldier spirit was furious. He raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at Official Lu. “Why are you going against me?!”

Weren’t their enemies the two inside?

“Because you’re a spirit.”

Official Lu spoke expressionlessly.

“Aren’t you a spirit?”

The warrior spirit sneered.

Official Lu said indifferently, “I’m an official of the Netherworld. Naturally, I’m not a spirit.”

“Official from the Netherworld?!”

The warrior spirit took a few steps back and stared at him warily. “Why would an official of the Netherworld appear in Ghost Mountain?”

Official Lu could not be bothered to waste his breath on him and said, “Either follow me back to the Netherworld or die. Choose one.”

If they could take this warrior spirit under their wing, it would be tantamount to having an additional fierce general for the Netherworld.

Although he had a straightforward personality, he still cherished talent.

The warrior spirit smiled coldly. “I’m a soldier of the Immortal World. Why should I go to the Netherworld, where the sun will never shine?”

“That was in the past. You’re no longer a person from the Immortal World. You’re a wandering ghost who can’t go to the heavens or hell.”

After hearing Official Lu’s words, the warrior spirit’s body stiffened.

“Make your choice.”

Official Lu spoke again.

“Impossible!”

The warrior spirit raised his head and stared at Official Lu with a ferocious expression. The spear in his hand also pierced towards him quickly.

Official Lu laughed coldly and immediately turned into black mist to evade.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the warrior spirit.

The warrior spirit turned around and only saw a cloud of black mist drifting forward.

As a soldier of the Immortal World, Official Lu’s provocation made him very unhappy. Hence, he chased after him without thinking.

After he left, Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng walked out of the hole.

The duo glanced at the direction Official Lu and the warrior spirit left in before continuing to walk deeper.

Along the way, the two of them killed a few low-level spirits together.

The further they walked, the calmer it became.

However, the Yin energy was still very strong.

The duo continued moving forward carefully. Suddenly, the ground shook and the two of them fell to the ground.

“What’s going on? Is there an earthquake?”

Lu Sheng climbed up and spoke with a confused expression.

“Let’s go!”

Chu Sihan held Lu Sheng’s waist and quickly escaped.

They had just left when an abyss suddenly appeared there.

The trees on both sides collapsed and slid into the bottomless abyss.

Lu Sheng frowned. “What happened?”

Why did she feel like something powerful was about to emerge from underground?

Suddenly, a wave of heat hit them. The heat almost burned the surrounding trees to ashes.

If Chu Sihan had not been prepared, they would have ended up like those trees.

“Let’s leave this place quickly.”

Chu Sihan hugged Lu Sheng and escaped quickly.

He knew very well that he could not compete with the things inside alone.

Moreover, he had a physical body now. Even if he had the ability to go against those things now, he did not dare to get close.

Lu Sheng turned back and her heart almost stopped beating.

Behind them, countless ghost-shaped flames were flying towards them.

“Lord, what are those?”

Chu Sihan turned back and his face darkened.

“They are spirits that have lived under the Fire Spirit for a long time. They have already fused with the Fire Spirit. If they catch up to us, we will probably be burned to ashes.”

“That powerful?”

Lu Sheng’s heart jumped.

Chu Sihan said coldly, “Don’t worry. With me around, nothing will happen!”

Seeing that those flame spirits were about to catch up, Chu Sihan hugged Lu Sheng and turned around. The two of them disappeared instantly.

Seeing that their targets had disappeared, the flame spirits wandered around and only left reluctantly when they felt a terrifying pressure approaching.

Just as they left, a white and a black figure suddenly appeared in the sky.

“Strange, why did they disappear?” Lu Zhou frowned.

When he was nearby just now, he could clearly feel his daughter’s aura. Why did it disappear now?

“Are you sure it’s not an illusion?”

Shangguan Dian glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

Lu Sheng was clearly in the human world now. How could she appear in Ghost Mountain?

“There’s no mistake!”

Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “Shenger’s scent was nearby just now.”

Shangguan Dian seemed to have thought of something and immediately said with a terrified expression, “Don’t tell me she was burned by a flame spirit?”
