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

Deep in the dense forest shrouded in thick fog, Chen Ze, Tian Siyao, and Qin Miyue proceeded with even greater caution.

The cold wind carried a strange smell, faint and indistinct, making people uneasy.

Chen Ze gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly in his hand, its green light swirling around him, wary of any sudden events that might occur.

"The fog here is so thick that we can barely see anything." Tian Siyao frowned, chanted a spell, and the jade sword in her hand shone with a faint light, illuminating the way for the three of them.

Qin Miyue gently touched the petals on her cheek and said softly, "There is an ancient and terrifying aura hidden in this fog. Everyone must be careful."

Just then, Chen Ze noticed a blurry figure on an ancient, towering tree ahead.

He stopped and gestured for the two women to calm down.

The figure gradually became clearer as they approached; it was a hanged ghost—an even more powerful "Demon Xuan Gui" than before.

Its face was bluish-purple, and its eyes were lifeless. Although its body kept swaying, the murderous intent in its eyes was unforgettable.

With a determined look in her eyes, Tian Siyao parted her lips slightly and uttered the "Heart-Clearing Mantra!" Immediately, the light on the jade sword shone even brighter as it pierced towards the shadowy figure.

The demon Xuan Gui let out a shrill howl and pounced on the three of them.

Chen Ze immediately brandished his Qingfeng Sword to meet the attack head-on.

Qin Miyue smiled slightly, and a yellow halo appeared behind her, seemingly connected to the swaying flowers.

"Don't be intimidated by its murderous aura. It's only acting this way to scare us," Chen Ze said coldly, catching his breath.

Tian Siyao nodded, and together with Qin Miyue, they subdued the demon Xuan Gui.

The two women's magical artifacts worked together with Chen Ze's sword to trap the terrifying ghost within.

"Be careful, there might be other ghosts in this dense forest. We need to be extra cautious," Qin Miyue warned gently but with a strong sense of vigilance.

The three walked closely side by side, remaining vigilant, knowing that there were still many unknown dangers hidden in this ancient forest.

Chen Ze gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly, while Tian Siyao gripped the Biyu Sword tightly. Both of them had their brows furrowed, feeling unprecedented pressure as they faced the ghosts ahead.

They had already fought several ghosts in this mysterious forest, but the shadowy figure they faced this time seemed even more powerful.

Tian Siyao said in a low voice, "This shadow is different from the others. The killing intent on its body seems to be able to materialize."

Chen Ze nodded. He felt the oppressive aura emanating from Youying, as if the entire space was being distorted by it. He took a deep breath and prepared to fight back with the Qingfeng Sword.

Just then, he suddenly felt a change in the aura around him. He turned his head and saw Qin Miyue slowly stepping forward.

She wore a long yellow dress, and now, shrouded in thick fog, she looked like a fairy.

Her eyes no longer held the gentle, chrysanthemum-like grace, but were filled with unwavering resolve.

That resolute look in her eyes seemed to be telling Chen Ze and Tian Siyao that this time, she would take action herself.

A glass cup appeared in Qin Miyue's hand at some point, its interior shimmering with a soft light.

She gently raised the glass cup, blew on it, and the light inside immediately burst forth, transforming into a powerful beam of light that shot straight toward the shadowy figure.

The light flashed instantly!

The shadowy creature seemed to have not expected Qin Miyue to be so powerful. Illuminated by the light, its body began to sway and retreat continuously.

It let out a piercing howl, a sound that seemed to penetrate the heart and instill fear.

"Tian Siyao!" Qin Miyue called out.

Tian Siyao understood Qin Miyue's meaning. She quickly summoned the "Large and Small Pearls Falling onto the Jade Plate," which, with a spin, created a huge whirlwind that trapped Youying. The two women cooperated seamlessly, their teamwork impeccable.

Chen Ze stood to the side, secretly giving a thumbs up in his heart.

He knew that only by uniting as one could they overcome all the difficulties ahead in this perilous forest.

"Thank you, Mi Yue." Chen Ze smiled gently at Qin Mi Yue.

Qin Miyue turned around and smiled gently: "I took action this time, but next time I'll have to rely on the two of you."

The three of them walked side by side again, continuing their exploration of this mysterious forest.

They knew that there were many unknown dangers in this forest, but as long as they were united, they would be able to overcome them.

Looking around, the dark forest seemed to have transformed into a giant monster, staring at the three of them.

Just then, Qin Miyue unleashed a powerful burst of light.

In an instant, the figure behind him was swallowed up.

The terrifying shadow of the hanged ghost, which had been approaching from the shadows, suddenly vanished, completely overwhelmed by Qin Miyue's awe-inspiring power.

There was dead silence all around.

Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly, her face filled with shock. "Miyue, this is..."

Qin Miyue smiled slightly, her smile as gentle as a flower petal. "This is just a little gadget among my magical artifacts, but I didn't expect it to be so effective."

After speaking, her gaze fell on the distant woods, where a chilling wind was blowing and ghostly figures could be seen flitting by from time to time.

Chen Ze looked at Qin Miyue with respect in his eyes. The multicolored pagoda in his hand emitted a faint light, illuminating the surrounding environment.

He said in a low voice, "Miyue, thank you. If it weren't for your timely intervention, Siyao and I might have been in even bigger trouble."

Qin Miyue smiled calmly, "We are partners, and I will naturally do what I should do." Then, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, "But this hanged ghost is probably just the tip of the iceberg in this forest. We still need to be careful."

Chen Ze nodded. "You're right." Then he turned to Tian Siyao and asked softly, "Siyao, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Tian Siyao shook her head and gave a shy smile. "I'm fine. I was just startled by that ghostly aura." After saying that, her gaze shifted and fell on Qin Miyue. She said gratefully, "Miyue, you are really amazing."

The three looked at each other and realized that there were more unknown dangers hidden in this forest.

All around, the leaves rustled in the wind, seemingly telling tales of a forgotten past.

Tian Siyao suddenly whispered a mantra to clear her mind. The jade sword trembled slightly in her hand, emitting a faint blue light that enveloped the three of them, providing them with an extra layer of protection.

Qin Miyue looked up at the sky; the dark clouds seemed even thicker than before.

She sighed softly, "We must quicken our pace and find a place to rest."

The three, with a tacit understanding, continued deeper into the terrifying forest, searching for the legendary place, while carefully avoiding the ghostly figures to prevent themselves from falling into greater danger...

Qin Miyue's move shocked everyone present.

Everything in the deep forest seemed to stand still at this moment, even the wind seemed to pause, and the leaves fell silently, as if paying homage to her.

Qin Miyue's yellow dress fluttered in the wind, a faint smile appeared on her petal-like cheeks, and her eyes were serene.

She looked at the hanged ghost, already engulfed by the immense force, a hint of pity in her eyes, but mostly resolute. (End of Chapter)
