When the female ghost saw Zhang Hao like this, she seemed a little uneasy and uncomfortable.

"Mr. Governor, it's okay!"

"Glad that I can help you, if there's nothing else I'll leave first!"

After saying that, the female ghost left in a hurry.

Zhang Hao also understood that they had different identities and there were some things that they simply could not empathize with.

Watching the female ghost leave, Zhang Hao felt a little guilty.

The ghost had good intentions, but Zhang Hao didn't expect that he was too anxious and questioned her. Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly.

Seeing the female ghost disappear from his sight, Zhang Hao began to follow the bloodstains, looking for the old ghost in red.

When Zhang Hao felt the eerie atmosphere here, he knew that the old ghost in red must be hiding inside.

Zhang Qilin was a little impatient, so Zhang Hao quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, don't be anxious, otherwise you will alert the enemy."

"Let me use my ability to investigate first and see what it wants to do."

"After we understand everything clearly, we will find a way to get the jade pendant back."

Zhang Qilin could only bear it. Zhang Hao activated his ability and slowly searched for the trace of the old ghost in red and figured out the purpose of the old ghost in red taking the jade pendant.

However, when Zhang Hao sensed what the old ghost in red did, he instantly became nervous.

"Oh no! The old ghost in red wants to use the jade pendant to completely release the dragon energy!"

"It seems we must stop this immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"I really didn't expect that the old ghost in red would be so insidious. It seems that he had planned all this long ago."

"We just fell into its trap, which is why it took away the jade pendant."

“No wonder this happened as soon as we got back to the inn.”

When everyone heard that the old ghost in red was going to use the jade pendant to release dragon energy, they became very nervous.

Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao anxiously and asked, "Brother Zhang Hao, what should we do next? How can we stop this in time?"

Zhang Hao also looked confused and didn't know what to do.

Zhang Qilin, who was standing by, immediately chased after him. Zhang Hao also followed closely.

No matter what, they must stop the old ghost in red.

If all the dragon energy is released, the ghost gate will be opened immediately, and the entire underworld and the world of the living will fall into chaos.

By then, the situation will be out of control and the situation will be extremely critical.

Everyone left in a hurry, trying every possible way to stop the old ghost in red from leaking the dragon energy.

Zhang Qilin's aura burst out, as if he was ready to fight at any time. Zhang Hao prayed silently in his heart, hoping that everything would not be in time and that an irreversible situation would not be created.

The crowd approached step by step, and Zhang Qilin was full of murderous intent. However, the old ghost in red was hidden too well, and even if he could sense its breath, it would not be easy to make it appear.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin cooperated with each other and continued to search for the old ghost in red along the blood trail. Finally, they found the trace of the old ghost in red in the corner of the small temple.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin immediately became alert. When the old ghost in red saw Zhang Hao and the others, he immediately revealed a ferocious face. The old ghost in red had a festering face, and even the white bones could be seen.

Fatty Wang was frightened by the face of the old ghost in red and didn't even dare to look at him directly.

If he really saw the face of the old ghost in red, Fatty Wang felt that he would definitely have a nightmare. And that appearance made Fatty Wang want to vomit constantly, it was really too horrible.

Fatty Wang could only hide aside temporarily and keep an eye on Zhang Hao's movements at all times.

After Zhang Hao found the old ghost in red, he was already impatient.

"Old ghost in red, return the jade pendant to us, otherwise, we will not be polite to you."

"I hope you'll know better and not let us beat you to death."

"Hahaha……"

After hearing what Zhang Hao said, the old ghost in red burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao flashed in front of the old ghost in red, while Zhang Qilin stood behind it, and the two prepared to attack from both sides.

This time, Zhang Qilin didn't want to let the old ghost in red go, he had to take the jade pendant back before the dragon energy leaked out. Only in this way could he stop all this in time, but no one expected that they were still a step too late.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin had tried their best, but they were still not strong enough to completely destroy the old ghost in red. During the battle with the old ghost in red, both Zhang Qilin and Zhang Hao felt exhausted.

The old ghost in red was fighting and delaying time.

"How dare a tiny human being overestimate his own abilities!"

"How can I leave this Night Wandering God's jade pendant in your hands?"

"However, even if you get the jade pendant now, it will be useless."

"Because I have already unlocked the dragon energy. As long as the dragon energy leaks out, my mission will be completed. Then I will have no regrets in death."

When Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin heard that the old ghost in red had actually unleashed the dragon energy, they immediately felt something was wrong.

Zhang Hao looked a little disappointed. They had worked so hard for so long, but in the end they still failed to grasp it and could only watch it all happen.

Zhang Hao angrily cursed: "You old ghost, you actually did such a heinous thing." "Are you willing to watch the underworld and the world of the living fall into chaos, leaving countless people and ghosts homeless?"

"How could you be so sinister and vicious? Who is behind you doing all this?"

"Hahaha……"

The old ghost in red let out bursts of eerie, terrifying, yet triumphant laughter.

The sound was extremely harsh, making the hair on one's body stand on end, as if being brushed by ice.

The old ghost in red was seen struggling with Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin, with a sinister and cunning smile on his face, which was full of trickery and complacency.

"You weak and incompetent humans, just wait for death!" the old ghost in red shouted arrogantly.

"The dragon energy has been released, the gates of hell are about to open, and your doomsday is approaching!" he continued to declare arrogantly.

"The Ghost King is about to reappear on earth. Even if you have great abilities, you can never save the ordinary people in this world!" His words were full of threats and ridicule.

"Haha...it feels so good..." The old ghost in red laughed out loud. The laughter echoed in the empty space, making people shudder.

At this moment, Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin suddenly felt an extremely heavy yin energy, which penetrated their bodies like ice, causing their faces to change drastically.

However, it was too late. A ball of black gas suddenly appeared in front of them, as terrifying as a demon in the dark night.

Seeing this, the old ghost in red immediately became extremely respectful. He bowed and said flatteringly, "Master Ghost King... you are finally born! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin looked at each other, muttering in their hearts: Facing such a powerful ghost king, our strength is indeed far behind. They knew very well that this battle would be extremely difficult.

The ghost king's terrifying voice echoed in his ears, like the voice of a demon from hell: "You go down... This time, thanks to you getting the jade pendant and releasing the dragon energy, I was able to see the light of day again. You have made an invaluable contribution, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Lord Ghost King..." The old ghost in red kowtowed to express his gratitude. His voice was trembling, full of awe and fear. "I am willing to serve Lord Ghost King even if it means death..."

The Ghost King regained the light of day and looked at the world curiously, with excitement and curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"It's not easy... Thousands of years have passed!" It sighed with deep emotion, "I can finally accomplish what I wanted to do!"

However, the ghost king's sigh did not last long, and he soon noticed Zhang Hao and others standing in front of him. The ghost king's face suddenly darkened, and he said to Zhang Hao and others in a mocking tone: "You weak and incompetent humans actually want to seal me? It's just wishful thinking!"

"I will definitely not let you go once I break out of the Ghost Gate this time!" The Ghost King threatened viciously, "I will make all humans submit to me and be my subjects. I want to see if they dare to resist!"

"You are just a greenhorn, how vulnerable you are!" The Ghost King continued to mock, "How dare you show up here without even thinking about how to survive? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

Zhang Hao and the others were furious when they heard the Ghost King's vicious words. However, what made them even more angry was that the Ghost King actually attacked them.

Zhang Hao looked at the arrogant Ghost King with dissatisfaction and anger in his heart. He stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Ghost King... don't be so arrogant! Even if you break out of the Ghost Gate, so what!"

"We won't let your conspiracy succeed!" Zhang Hao said firmly, "You'd better stop dreaming! You are the one who is dreaming!"

"Thousands of years ago, humans had the ability to suppress you in the ghost gate, so it is possible now!" Zhang Hao's words were full of confidence and determination.

As he said that, Zhang Hao immediately summoned the hexagonal black seal, and a ball of black gas instantly enveloped the Ghost King. He tried to wrap the Ghost King's body tightly and use his identity in the underworld to suppress him fiercely. At the same time, he was also looking for an opportunity to annihilate the Ghost King and the old ghost in red in one fell swoop.

After all, the Ghost King had just been born and his strength had not yet fully recovered. Zhang Hao felt that this should be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, at this moment, the Ghost King seemed to sense something was wrong. It took advantage of Zhang Hao's inattention and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. Hao Xie was shocked and wanted to chase him, but he couldn't find any trace of the Ghost King at all.

Fatty Wang cursed angrily, "Damn Ghost King... Is that all you can do? Why did you flee in panic after just testing him? Is there something fishy going on here?"

Zhang Hao ignored Wang Pangzi's words, and stared at the old ghost in red who was still standing there. The ghost king's sudden escape caught the old ghost in red off guard. When he saw Zhang Hao staring at him with angry eyes, the old ghost in red couldn't help but shiver.

"Ghost King..." The old ghost in red deliberately shouted, trying to divert everyone's attention. Zhang Hao and the others were slightly stunned, thinking that the Ghost King had returned. However, when they reacted, they found that they had fallen into the trap again.

Zhang Hao was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed in a cold tone: "Damn it... This old ghost in red is too cunning! We have been fooled one after another, and it escaped again!"

The old ghost in red took advantage of Zhang Hao and the others' daze and slipped away from them. Hao Xie sighed helplessly and said, "Strange... Why did the Ghost King run away? Logically speaking, its strength should be very strong and it should not be afraid of us. What's going on?"

Hao Xie looked at Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin and expressed his doubts. Fatty Wang thought about it, looked at everyone and said, "What's so hard to understand about this? It must be afraid of Brother Zhang Hao's attack, so it ran away quickly!"

"Brother Zhang Hao not only possesses the hexagonal black seal, but also has a high status in the underworld. What's a mere ghost king to him?" Fatty Wang's words were full of confidence and admiration for Zhang Hao.

However, after hearing what Fatty Wang said, Zhang Qilin quickly shook his head.

"No... this shouldn't be the reason!" He said in a deep voice, "This is too far-fetched. It doesn't make sense at all."

"Men Youping...what do you mean? Then tell me! What was the reason why the Ghost King ran away?" Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Qilin unconvinced, wanting him to give a reason that would convince everyone.

Zhang Qilin pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at everyone and said, "If my guess is correct, the Ghost King just came out of the Ghost Gate, and its abilities have not yet fully recovered. So, it doesn't want to confront us head-on."

"The reason why he attacked us just now was to test our strength." Zhang Qilin continued to analyze, "Zhang Hao used the Hexagonal Black Seal and revealed his identity as the underworld official. The Ghost King was a little overwhelmed, so he slipped away when we were not paying attention."

"This is not a good sign. We must be prepared for the Ghost King to come back at any time." Zhang Qilin's words were full of vigilance and worry.

After listening to Zhang Qilin's analysis, Zhang Hao also felt that this was a possibility. He nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhang Qilin's opinion. In any case, the Ghost King and the old ghost in red had already escaped, and they did not take back the jade pendant.

What can be done now is to deal with the remaining dragon energy here to prevent it from being touched by those ghosts, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. After dealing with everything here, Zhang Hao looked at everyone who looked disappointed and said, "Let's go... Let's go back! Let's go to the inn first and discuss what to do next!"

"Staying here is not a long-term solution and it seems to be of no use." Zhang Hao's words were full of helplessness and sighs.

Everyone had to return to the inn temporarily.

However, when everyone returned to Zhang Hao's room, they found that Zhang Qilin was not there.

Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Where did Men Youping go? He wouldn't disappear again, would he?" His tone was full of confusion and worry.

Hao Xie quickly explained: "No... He said he didn't want to participate in this discussion. He stayed downstairs to look after the business of the inn and didn't come up!" (End of this chapter)
