My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

The Ghost Prince glanced at the Heavenly Turtle Shell, then turned to Chen Ze: "Your artifacts are very interesting, but please remember, the order here cannot be easily changed by any external force."

Chen Ze took a deep breath, and the Heavenly Mystery Tortoise Shell automatically retracted and disappeared into his robe.

"Understood, we will not act rashly."

Their conversation with the ghost prince was interrupted by a deep bell tolling, as if it were some kind of summons.

The ghosts gathered in the seemingly dilapidated square.

"It seems something more important is about to happen," Tian Siyao whispered to Chen Ze, feeling even more nervous.

Chen Ze nodded, and the two of them remained on guard, awaiting whatever unknown things might happen next.

In this eerie town, anything can happen, but they still choose to trust each other and continue to explore the depths of this unknown world.

"This ghost is a bit unusual, but I can't see what's wrong with it?" Tian Siyao looked bewildered.

Chen Ze nodded. "You're right, but that's not important. We should get closer to them and understand them..."

"Isn't that dangerous?"

Chen Ze smiled slightly, "Isn't what we like to do adventurous things?"

That's a very accurate statement.

Hearing Chen Ze say that, Tian Siyao immediately became calm and composed.

Indeed, they are taking risks when they come out; if they weren't taking risks, why would they bother catching ghosts?
Go home and be with Chen Zesheng, the little monkey.

The thought made Tian Siyao blush, and she almost didn't dare to look up at anyone.

Chen Ze and Tian Siyao stood nervously at a dimly lit street corner.

Looking around, the buildings on both sides of the street exuded a gloomy atmosphere, as if every wall was filled with countless wails and pain.

“Look there,” Chen Ze suddenly whispered, pointing to an ancient temple not far away.

The temple is like an abandoned work of art, ancient but dilapidated, with weathered runes covering its ruins.

Tian Siyao trembled slightly, clutching the Jade Disc, a magical artifact, tightly in her hand. She gasped and said, "That is... probably a powerful gathering place for ghosts."

Chen Ze nodded silently, took out the Five-Colored Pagoda from his pocket, and with a gentle shake, the pagoda instantly released a dazzling light, dispelling the oppressive feeling around him.

He glanced at Tian Siyao, trying to convey a message that "everything is under control".

Suddenly, a strange laugh rang out behind them, as if it came from the depths of hell, full of cunning and evil.

"You humans are quite interesting, daring to step into this place." A blurry figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

Tian Siyao instantly chanted the Gentle Breeze Incantation, and her whole being seemed to merge with the wind. She nimbly leaped and landed on a high ground, her eyes full of vigilance.

Chen Ze then raised the multicolored tower and said coldly, "Show your true colors, stop hiding in the shadows."

The figure gradually became clearer; it was a ghost with a strange smile on its face.

His eyes gleamed with a cold light, like the most indifferent star in the night sky.

“I am Grief, one of the rulers here,” the ghost said, its voice rising as if from a deep well.

Tian Siyao looked at Chen Ze, and both of them saw the determination in each other's eyes.

Chen Ze smiled slightly and quietly made a gesture, indicating to Tian Siyao to prepare the magical artifacts.

"Then, Chen, welcome to witness our power." Chen Ze's voice revealed an irresistible determination.

Chen Tong seemed unconcerned, his face still bearing that mocking smile: "Oh? How intriguing." Tian Siyao waved the Jade Disc, and a beam of emerald light pierced the air, heading straight for Chen Tong.

At the same time, Chen Ze also raised the Five-Colored Pagoda high, releasing an even more dazzling light that merged with the emerald beam of light, forming an incredible power.

The two beams of light swiftly shattered the "sorrowful" ghost.

Then, an even more powerful spirit appeared.

The atmosphere of the entire town seemed to be sealed in an invisible layer of frost, and a suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air.

The moment the Yin Sha appeared, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and tiny ice flowers could even be seen condensing in the air.

Chen Ze frowned, feeling a chill rise up his spine.

He gripped the multicolored pagoda tightly in his hand, and a light that blended the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth shone from the pagoda, falling to the ground and forming a five-colored halo.

"This guy is different from the ghosts we've encountered before; he's highly defensive and has a fierce attack," Chen Ze whispered to Tian Siyao beside him.

Tian Siyao nodded nervously, gripping the jade sword tightly in her hand, the blade emitting a faint green light.

She murmured a mantra for enlightenment, and her entire demeanor seemed to become clearer and more serene in an instant, as if she were in harmonious resonance with her surroundings.

As if sensing their preparations, Yin Sha forced a strange smile onto his deformed face.

It raised the broken chainmail in its hand, and a black energy wave suddenly appeared out of thin air, rushing towards Chen Ze and Tian Siyao.

"Watch out!" Chen Ze hurriedly waved the Five-Colored Pagoda, releasing a wall of light that blocked the black energy wave.

At the same time, Tian Siyao was not idle. She recited a gentle breeze incantation, and with a flick of the tip of her jade sword, a gentle breeze blew away the shattered chainmail on Yin Sha's body.

Yin Sha was clearly enraged by the two's counterattack; his deformed face became even more distorted, as if stretched out by countless shadows.

It roared and suddenly split into three parts, each of which carried the same broken chainmail, seemingly preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.

"Oh no, it can split into two!" Chen Ze looked at the three Yin Sha with a tense feeling.

Just then, a low roar came from inside the Five-Colored Tower, followed by a Flaming Ghost flying out.

It is surrounded by flames, giving it an imposing and awe-inspiring presence.

"Master, do you need me to help?" Flame Demon looked at Chen Ze, his eyes gleaming with loyalty.

“If we work together, we should be able to handle it,” Chen Ze said to Flame Demon and Tian Siyao, composing himself.

The three Yin Sha clones suddenly let out a strange laugh at the same time, as if mocking Chen Ze and his companions for their ignorance and arrogance.

The Yin Sha's roar was like a thunderclap that ripped through the night sky, carrying an evil aura, and it rushed towards Chen Ze and Tian Siyao like a black lightning bolt.

Without hesitation, Chen Ze displayed his magical artifact—the Five-Colored Pagoda.

The tower rose instantly from the ground, towering like a small mountain.

Each layer shimmers with different colors of light, like a dazzling spectacle under the starry sky.

"Siyao, be careful, don't let the Yin energy get close to you!" Chen Ze said anxiously, his eyes filled with determination.

Tian Siyao gripped the jade disc tightly, ready to unleash the Gentle Breeze spell at any moment. Her gaze was equally resolute as she replied to Chen Ze, "Don't worry, I won't let it have a chance to harm me."

The black energy that was rushing in from the Yin Sha was absorbed and neutralized by the light of the Five-Colored Pagoda.

However, as the Yin energy intensified its attacks, cracks began to appear on the tower, as if it were about to shatter.

Even the light gradually dimmed, seemingly as the balance of power between it and the Yin energy began to shift. (End of Chapter)
