The castle deity held a compass, and a red protective shield had been lit up on the castle. At the same time, all the magic arrays on the outer walls of the castle also lit up, making it clear that they were ready for battle at any moment.

At this moment, the huge skeleton stopped ten miles outside the castle. Then two figures flew out of the skeleton. When the castle god saw this, he knew that the other party did not intend to make a move, so he flew out of his castle.

When he got outside, he saw the two people who had flown in. The leader was a tall but very thin man with a large frame. He had almost no flesh on his body, just bones. Even his eyes were sunken, and it looked as if there were ghostly flames flickering in them.

This person was a skeletal god, and beside him was an old man who looked quite old, with white hair and beard, but he had an air of otherworldly grace.

The castle god gave the old man a deep look, then turned to the skeleton god, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

The skeleton god glanced at the castle god, then at the castle on his body, and said, "It seems your castle has been expanded?"

The castle deity said calmly, "Yes, my castle has been expanded. Thank you for your concern, sir."

The skeleton god looked at the castle and suddenly said, "Not bad, but I don't know if the people you found are reliable and if they can expand the old formation's magic array properly."

The castle deity smiled slightly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Since it was an acquaintance who helped me with it, I couldn't refuse. He changed all the magic arrays in my castle, so I can only apologize here."

Upon hearing this, the ghostly fire in the skeleton god's eyes flickered for a moment, but quickly calmed down. He looked at the castle god and then said, "I really didn't expect you to change the magic circle. But it's your business after all, so I'll let you do as you please."

The castle god once again clasped his hands in a fist salute to the skeleton god and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir."

The skeleton god nodded and said, "No need to be so polite, farewell."

After saying that, he led the old formation away, and the castle god watched them return to the skeleton until they disappeared. Only then did he return to the castle and drive it away.

Just as the castle god was driving the castle away, the skeleton god was standing on the skeleton watching. Standing beside him was Old Formation. The name Old Formation was actually given to him by the skeleton god. Old Formation was a specialist in magic arrays. The skeleton god also used Old Formation to trick others. He did indeed have Old Formation secretly leave backdoors when helping others set up magic arrays, so that he could deal with them one day.

However, it seems he will be disappointed this time, because the castle god has changed the magic circle. The skeleton god said, "It seems he knows that we changed the script on the magic circle, otherwise he would not have changed the magic circle. Who ruined my good deed?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhen immediately said, "He asked us to meet at the market. Although we were a little late, we weren't too late. And his castle is parked outside the market. It seems that his magic array has just been upgraded. The person who helped him upgrade the magic array must still be at the market. Master, should we go to the market to inquire?"

The skeleton god nodded and said, "Alright, go to the market and find out who's been setting up magic arrays for others lately." With that, he vanished into his skeleton, along with the old array. Then, the skeleton began to move, heading straight for the market.

They soon arrived at the market, and the Skeleton God immediately sent people to inquire. The people sent out returned not long afterward.

The skeletal god was sitting in his study, dealing with his work. His study was inside the skull of his skeleton, right where his eyes were. This skeleton was a particularly large magical artifact with an inner space where many of his followers lived. He was a creator god-level cultivator, capable of creating all things and leaving his name in the void. It could be said that he was on the same level as Zhao Hai. Of course, Zhao Hai had not yet fully adapted to the spiritual energy here, so Zhao Hai's current strength was inferior to his.

However, this large magical artifact of his was not created by him. When he left his mark in the Void Realm, he already had a piece of his territory there. On this territory, he found the skeleton of a giant, and he refined the giant's skeleton into his own divine kingdom. That's how his divine kingdom came about.

Although his divine kingdom looks terrifying, it is actually quite nice inside, especially his study, which is very well decorated. The walls of the study are made of a fragrant wood, and there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on them, making the whole study very elegant.

The skeletal god sat behind his desk, with two cultivators standing in front of him. These two cultivators looked nothing special; they were both quite ordinary-looking, but their eyes were sharp and quick-witted, making it clear that they were very clever people.

The skeletal god looked at one of them and said, "You found out? Who ruined my plans?" The cultivator immediately replied, "Reporting to your master, we have inquired. We heard that recently in the market, some people have been asking if anyone needs a magic array set up. Those asking are just wandering gods or ghosts, and they all live in the Black Sea region. Therefore, we believe that the person who modified the magic array for the Castle God is very likely this person. Judging from this person's background, this person is also very likely to live in the Black Sea region."

Upon hearing what the cultivator said, the Skeleton God nodded. Then he turned to look at another cultivator, who said, "Reporting to the master, I have inquired and found out that a person has recently come to live in the Black Sea. It is said that he offended someone outside and had no choice but to come to live in the Black Sea. This person seems to know how to set up magic arrays."

Upon hearing this, the skeleton god asked in a deep voice, "Is the information accurate?"

The cultivator immediately replied, "It should be accurate. It was said by a cultivator living in the Black Sea when asking others if they needed a magic array to be set up."

The Skeleton God frowned and said, “The people living in the Black Sea are a bit difficult to deal with. They are all people who do not plan to leave for a while, so we really can’t do anything about them. Here’s what we’ll do: you go and inquire to see if you can find this person’s contact information from other people. If you can find it, just invite him to come here and tell him that we need his help to set up a magic array.”

The two cultivators responded, bowed to the skeleton god, and left the room. After they left, the skeleton god sneered, "Interesting. They're people from the Black Sea. Looks like they just ascended. No, if they just ascended, how could they have offended anyone? Looks like they have a story to tell."

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai had returned to his area and was resting on the Green Leaf Boat. However, he had only been resting for a short time when he received a phone call.

Zhao Hai immediately answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, he heard a voice from a deity in their small alliance say, "A magic array. There's a big job. Someone wants you to set up a magic array for them."

Zhao Hai's interest was piqued, and he immediately asked, "Oh? Who is it?"

The man laughed and said, "It's the Skeleton God. His divine kingdom is just a skeleton. Right now, his divine kingdom is right there in the market. This Skeleton God is extraordinary; he's a creator god-level deity."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai raised an eyebrow. He immediately thought of the skeleton he had seen at the castle god's place. That must be the skeleton god, and it was this skeleton god's subordinate who helped the castle god set up the magic array. Judging from the way it was set up, the other party clearly wanted to deal with the castle god. By helping the castle god modify the magic array, he had essentially ruined the other party's plans. And now, the other party had asked him to set up the magic array, which was clearly an attempt to deal with him.

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Hai immediately said, "We can't take this job."

The man was taken aback, then asked with some confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you answering?"

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and recounted to the man how he helped the Castle God alter the magic array, how he saw the Skeleton God's divine kingdom, and how the Castle God told him that it was the Skeleton God's subordinate who helped him set up the magic array. After finishing, he said with a wry smile, "The Skeleton God's subordinate set up the magic array for the Castle God, clearly intending to trick him, or even to deal with him. But because I helped the Castle God alter the magic array, his plan failed. He must hold a grudge against me. He is a creator god-level deity, and he has people under him who are proficient in magic arrays. Why would he ask me to help him set up a magic array? This is clearly an attempt to lure me into his divine kingdom and then take me outside the market to deal with me. If I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the man was greatly alarmed. He immediately said, "I see. If that's really the case, then we really can't go. It seems like this is a trap specifically designed for you."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I think too. This should be a trap specifically designed for me, so I absolutely cannot go. I'd rather not earn those spirit stones than go."

The man nodded and said, "That's true. It's always better to be careful. Alright, I'll leave this matter alone. But I think you should be careful lately. Even if you're really going to set up a magic array for someone, don't leave the Black Sea easily, or you might be in real danger."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too. I'm going to stay put for a while and not take on any work. Anyway, I just ascended to heaven and I need to rest properly."

The man nodded and said, "That's right. You should inform the others later, so they don't have to help you find work while they're still out there."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll inform them in a bit. It's best to lay low for a while; we can't risk our lives." (End of Chapter)
