Chapter 188 The Grand Competition Begins!
Ripples spread across the space where the demons resided.

A tall, slender figure stepped out from the crack, his dark robe fluttering even without wind.

Qing's return made Shan, who had been waiting for a long time, light up. He quickly stepped forward, a mysterious smile on his face:
"Boss, I have some amazing surprise for you!"

however--

Qing walked straight towards her rest area without pausing, her voice as indifferent as ice:

"Settle the newcomers in and find out about the current situation of the Ghost Clan."

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "I'm tired."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The third leader's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, the words of pleas stuck in his throat, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.

At that moment, Cai, the second-in-command, appeared out of thin air.

Seeing the third brother standing there dumbfounded, her slender eyebrows furrowed:
"What are you standing here for? Trying to surprise the boss?"

She looked around. "Where is the boss?"

Shan turned his head stiffly, his lips twitching unnaturally.

"Before I could say anything, the boss left."

A black line immediately appeared on Cai's forehead, and she glared at him with disdain:
"So what exactly is this surprise you're talking about?"

"I think I've found the lady."

"What lady?"

Cai didn't react for a moment, but the next second her beautiful eyes suddenly widened:
"You mean"

Shan nodded repeatedly.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Cai's voice suddenly rose.

"I swear on my life!" Shan patted his chest. "I would never mistake that iconic horn!"

"You actually—"

"boom!!!"

Enraged, Cai's long, slender legs sent the third leader flying dozens of feet away with a whooshing sound.

However, the demon race has thick skin and tough flesh.

This attack had no effect whatsoever on him, a king-level being.

Cai dared not delay for a moment and immediately went to Qing's rest room.

now.

In Qing's private lounge, under dim lighting.

His slender fingers gently caressed the photo stone, and a heartwarming image of his wife holding two little girls appeared on the stone's surface.

Those usually cold eyes showed a rare ripple of emotion at this moment.

"Azure Frost. Crimson Moon"

His deep voice sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

"You should all be grown into young women by now."

In that moment of tenderness, ripples suddenly spread through the space.

Qing's brows furrowed instantly—

He hates being disturbed the most.

However, before he could react, Cai's excited voice rang out:

"Chief! Your daughters...they're at the camp!"

"boom!"

Qing's figure suddenly froze, and the recording stone in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

The next second, he appeared in front of Cai like a ghost.

Those eyes, usually so indifferent, now gleamed with a chilling light:
"you sure?"

Cai was so shocked by the sudden pressure that she took a half step back, but still nodded emphatically:

"The third brother saw it with his own eyes; it was the same shocking thing I mentioned before."

Before the words were even finished, Qing's figure had already vanished into thin air.

Outside the reception area.

Qing's figure suddenly appeared in front of the building, her usually steady hands now trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Those two familiar auras were almost within reach.
His heart, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly began to beat violently, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

This long-lost sense of tension made it difficult for him to breathe.

As the youngest king of the Ghost Clan, he hesitated like a child who had done something wrong. His fingertips touched the doorknob several times, only to recoil as if electrocuted.

His own daughter was inside.
But he shouldn't have known how to face his two daughters.

From a young age, he rarely spent time with his two daughters.

After that incident, his two daughters were expelled from the demon clan.

He also failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father!

Hearing news of his two daughters suddenly threw him into an unprecedented state of panic.

Despite his power, he could reduce an entire building to ashes in the blink of an eye.

But this ordinary wooden door seems to have become the most solid barrier in the world.

Finally, after sufficient mental preparation—

"Crack!"

Under excessive force, the entire door instantly turned to dust.

Amidst the swirling dust, Qing's gaze pierced the room like a sharp arrow, locking onto the two figures in the center that haunted her dreams.
the other side.

Outside the forbidden area, in the central square of the Ghost Clan's territory.

The dark mass of ghosts completely surrounded the square, and a cacophony of voices rose and fell.

"Have you heard? The Grand Elder has given a strict order for this competition! Everyone must go all out!"

"We must make a good impression on the Qingqiu clan this time. If we cooperate with them, it seems we can arrange a marriage alliance in the future."

"But besides the Qingqiu clan, hasn't that human returned from the forbidden area yet?"

"He must have died in the forbidden area! A mere commander-level officer dared to trespass into the forbidden area; wasn't he just courting death?"

"But it would be best if it died inside! The Grand Elder is too merciful, actually giving something like this a chance to participate in the competition!"

Amidst the murmurs, Lilith and Tu Shan Yue Li slowly walked toward the seats prepared for them by the Ghost Clan.

When she saw that only two chairs were set up, Lilith's red lips curled into a mocking sneer.

"Ha, so eager to sentence Gu Xing to death? They haven't even prepared a seat for him!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Yue Li, somewhat curious, moved closer to Lilith, her fox tail swaying gently.

"Lilith, do you really trust that human that much?"

"Based on my understanding of the Ghost Clan's Grand Elder, he certainly won't let that human go."

"No matter how talented he is, or how skilled he is at controlling beasts..."

"He can't possibly fight against a monarch-level being while he's only at the commander level, can he?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

She turned gracefully and looked directly into Tu Shan Yue Li's eyes:
"We'll know soon enough!"

"but."

"Yue Li, have you considered cooperating with the human race?"

Tu Shan Yue Li was clearly taken aback, then a smile appeared on her face.

She knew Lilith was questioning that human.

"Let's wait until that human can make it to the competition."

Seeing this, Lilith said no more.

They simply shifted their gaze silently to the center of the field.

Although she had hinted at Gu Xing's strength several times in recent days, the Qingqiu princess clearly did not take it seriously.

But soon, she would be able to see Gu Xing's performance for herself.

now.

The Ghost Clan's Grand Elder ascended the high platform with a beaming smile.

With only moments left before the competition officially begins, the human was still nowhere to be seen.

That means that the few monarch-level figures I sent out must have succeeded!

These two hidden dangers have finally been eliminated.
The wrinkles on the Grand Elder's face smoothed out; once he announced the start of the competition, the list of participants would be finalized.

Even if that human manages to escape the forbidden area by chance, there's nothing that can be done!
He raised his hand high, his voice resounding throughout the hall:

"This competition is now in session—"

"Wait a minute!"

A voice suddenly came.
