The two quickly traversed the forest and arrived at the pool.

Tian Siyao softly uttered a mantra to enlighten the mind, and a gentle breeze immediately surrounded them, as if a mysterious power was protecting them.

Chen Ze carefully examined his surroundings with the Yin-Yang Mirror, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's safe for now; the Five-Colored Tower can probably rest for a bit."

"That's wonderful." Tian Siyao smiled, though a hint of fatigue was visible in her smile.

Just then, the colorful tower suddenly flashed an even brighter light.

A massive figure slowly came into their view.

This is a monster that resembles a mammoth, but has three eyes and four fangs.
Chen Ze gripped the multicolored tower tightly. "Are you ready?"

Tian Siyao picked up the jade sword, took a deep breath, and said, "Of course."

The two people's magical artifacts shone brightly, instantly forming a barrier that blocked the monster's attack.

But they also know that this balance cannot be maintained for long and a solution must be found as soon as possible.

Chen Ze gazed at the multicolored pagoda, silently praying in his heart.

He knew that if things worsened, the Flame Demon might appear.

But now, he hopes to use his own strength to work with Tian Siyao to resolve this crisis.

The two tacitly agreed to join forces once again, preparing to face even greater challenges to come.

The two continued their escape, but they felt more confident now.

Faced with the fear of the unknown, they understood that only by relying on each other could they find hope for survival.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao ran with all their might along the winding stone passage.

Chen Ze held the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand, and its light illuminated the darkness ahead.

At that moment, every step they took felt like walking on leaping flames, the line between life and death so blurred.

"Almost there, Siyao, the fork in the road is just ahead!" Chen Ze said anxiously, his voice almost hoarse.

Tian Siyao bit her lip, gripping the jade sword tightly in her hand. The sword trembled slightly, as if it too sensed the tense atmosphere.

She didn't say anything more, she just nodded vigorously.

The two finally arrived at the fork in the road. The moss covering the stone wall changed shape like a ghost, as if mocking their ignorance and fear.

But when Chen Ze looked into the Yin-Yang Mirror, he immediately saw the strangeness in it.

He held Tian Siyao's hand tightly: "Left, go left!" Tian Siyao did not hesitate and rushed to the left passage with Chen Ze.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to escape this devil's den.

Behind them, the evil laughter of the Kuiba grew closer, a sound more chilling than any weapon.

Chen Ze turned around abruptly and saw that Kuiba, like black mist, was gradually gathering into a human shape.

"Oh no, they're catching up!" Chen Ze's heart tightened, but he immediately adjusted his position.

I took a deep breath and suppressed my anxiety.

"It won't be long before we get rid of it." Tian Siyao said this with almost all her strength.

Suddenly, Chen Ze's multicolored tower trembled slightly, releasing a dazzling light that shot straight toward Kuiba.

This beam of light not only illuminated the entire passage but also forced back the pursuing Kuiba.

In that instant, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Go!" Chen Ze shouted, and the two of them were lifted up like a reborn phoenix, rushing out of the passage at top speed.

Finally, they managed to shake off Kuiba's pursuit, and their breathing became much freer. The two stopped, looked back at the darkness they had traversed, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

That smile was like sunlight breaking through layers of fog; though brief, it was incredibly radiant.

"Chen Ze, we've finally gotten rid of him," Tian Siyao said softly, her eyes filled with deep emotion.

"Yes, but this is only temporary. We have many more challenges ahead of us," Chen Ze said earnestly. He knew this was just the beginning.

The two stood side by side, ready to face even more unknown challenges ahead.

At least for now, they have a rare moment of peace and hope.

This peace and hope are enough to give Chen Ze and his companions endless courage on their future journey.

As they stepped heavily through the city gate, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao both breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had unloaded a heavy burden.

As night fell, the dimly lit streets contrasted sharply with the seemingly bottomless forest, making one think of the saying, "Heaven and hell are only a step apart."

Tian Siyao gently stroked the jade plate in her arms, closed her eyes slightly, and softly chanted the mantra for enlightening the mind.

A warm breeze surrounded the two of them, as warm as the spring sun, dispelling the lingering yin energy on their bodies.

Chen Ze held the jade tightly, which seemed to contain some kind of unspeakable power, but at this moment it gave him a strange sense of comfort.

"I feel much better." A hint of emotion flashed in Tian Siyao's eyes as she looked at Chen Ze and said.

Chen Ze smiled slightly, but his eyes held a heavy expression.

"Yes, but we have to be careful."

This is only a temporary safety measure; the affairs of the ghost realm are far from over.

“I understand,” Tian Siyao continued, “This time, it was because of your Five-Colored Tower that those evil spirits were able to retreat.”

However, we are still not safe unless we find out who is behind this.

Chen Ze was speechless, but he knew in his heart that Tian Siyao was right.

He immediately took out the Yin-Yang Mirror, scanned the surroundings, and only felt slightly relieved after confirming that there were no ghosts or other supernatural phenomena.

The two entered a nearby shop, where Tian Siyao took out Qingling herbs and began to carefully treat their wounds.

The flickering candlelight in the shop illuminated her focused face. At that moment, Chen Ze felt that no matter how many difficulties and hardships there were, as long as she was by his side, everything was worthwhile.

Tian Siyao noticed Chen Ze's gaze and smiled gently, "Alright, the wound should be fine now."

Chen Ze took the herbs she offered and nodded. "Thank you, Siyao."

We cannot let our guard down. Next, we need to find the person behind this.

Tian Siyao looked at Chen Ze, her eyes shining with determination. "That's right, we can't let them get away with this."

The two gazed at each other for a moment, seemingly confirming each other's resolve.

Then, Tian Siyao put the jade plate back into her bosom, and Chen Ze carefully put the jade and emerald back into his pocket.

Outside the shop, the moonlight shone like water, illuminating the way home, but the two knew that this was only the beginning of a long battle.

They didn't know what they would face next, but they knew that as long as they were together, no matter how difficult it was, it was worth fighting for.

After a brief rest in the city, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao stood at the entrance of a small shop, holding the map and supplies they had just bought.

Chen Ze frowned, as if he could sense even more crises to come.

"What's wrong? You seem uneasy." Tian Siyao gently lifted his chin with her jade sword, a slight smile on her face.

Chen Ze snapped out of his daze and wiped the sweat from his brow with the Yin-Yang Mirror. “The treasure we have is too eye-catching.”

Not just ordinary ghosts, but also more unknown and dangerous beings that may already be eyeing us. (End of Chapter)
