Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

This is a stone forest filled with jagged stone pillars. At this moment, under the operation of the Painted Skin Demon, the ground is covered with densely packed white bones, and yellowish-green slime hangs on the stone pillars, emitting a foul stench.

Numerous evil spirits roam and lurk among the stone forest, their ghostly aura as thick as fog, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

At the very center stands a giant willow tree, hundreds of meters tall.

Its color is pale, and its trunk is not made of bark, but rather of bluish-white human skin.

Beside the willow tree stood two strange beasts, each ten meters in size, with human skin and animal heads, whose aura was even stronger than that of Huo Xin.

Upon witnessing this scene, the demons, including Laoshu, were filled with fear and exclaimed:

"This is terrifying. If such a horrific ghost realm takes root in Tianmen Mountain, we will never have peace again."

Laoshan was deeply worried and said:

"To fight an enemy of this size would be tantamount to suicide."

Their faces were deathly pale, their necks shrank back, and they had completely lost their will to fight.

Jiang Yu's pupils dilated slightly, and he said:

"This ghost realm is much more powerful than the one in Li Family Town."

Moreover, they were already at their complete form; they could feel their spiritual power being suppressed simply by standing at the edge.

But there was no fear on his face, because he had long been at odds with the Painted Skin Demon.

"No matter how powerful he is, I will grind him to dust."

Jiang Yu made a harsh statement.

"We must notify the Demon Suppression Division as soon as possible. Only by relying on their power can we break through this ghostly realm."

Despite making harsh remarks, Jiang Yu remained very clear-headed.

He diligently memorized the various characteristics of the Ghost Realm, as this would be essential information when he broke through it in the future.

Suddenly, the roots of the willow tree began to shake and twitch erratically.

The beast with human skin and an animal head was struck, and a gash was torn open.

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; the middle of this human-skinned beast-headed creature was actually hollow.

A figure hovered in mid-air, and a surge of ghostly energy rushed toward the willow tree with human skin.

"Without the help of the tree spirit, controlling this barrier is still quite difficult."

The man let out a sigh that echoed throughout the entire space.

Immediately, the soaring ghostly energy transformed into ropes, pinning the trembling willow tree made of human skin back into the ground.

Jiang Yu and the others felt an extremely strong pressure. The evil spirits around them saw this figure and let out excited howls.

Jiang Yu's eyes narrowed and he said:

"This man is none other than Boss Xue, the elder brother of the Painted Skin Ghost!"

However, it seems he can't completely control the Ghost Realm, which is an important piece of information.

In mid-air, Xue Laoda, dressed in a black robe, suddenly glared and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense. He had a feeling that someone was watching him.

Jiang Yu's pupils contracted slightly as he warned Lao Shu and the others:

"not good!"

"He seems to have spotted us, let's retreat quickly!"

Xue Laoda scanned the surrounding space with his divine sense and soon only the location of Jiang Yu and the others remained.

Jiang Yu frowned. If they were discovered and a conflict broke out prematurely, they might be completely wiped out.

Just then, the arrival of a group of people interrupted Boss Xue's search. They were the Fire-Tailed Rat clan who had previously chased Jiang Yu and his group.

After returning to his own territory, the flamboyant man no longer showed any fear of Fatty Tiger and hurriedly went to Boss Xue's side.

Accompanying Fat Tiger was a middle-aged man with a rat's head and a human body, who was the new patriarch of the Firetail Rat clan, "Fat Round".

Fat Tiger frowned, showing extreme disgust at the ghostly aura that permeated the space.

His lesser demons had difficulty breathing when they entered this place.

On the contrary, the group of evil spirits led by the flamboyant man became excited as they entered.

Ultimately, demons and ghosts are still two different kinds of beings.

Although Pang Yuan also felt aversion to the ghostly aura, he didn't show it on his face at all.

He smiled broadly at Old Master Xue, who was suspended in mid-air:

"Fellow Daoist Xue, you are truly remarkable!"

"To create such a vast ghost realm in such a short time is truly admirable."

Fatty is a mid-Foundation Establishment stage demon, whose cultivation is above his.

Old Master Xue dared not be presumptuous, and hurriedly descended from mid-air, cupping his hands in greeting:

"Chieftain, you flatter me. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have been able to find such a treasure land and successfully create the Ghost Domain."

The two flattered each other, then the chubby man suddenly changed the subject:

"However, the two treasures provided by Fellow Daoist Xue are of poor quality. It was because the Soul Control Nail lost its effect that the murderer who killed my son was able to escape."

"On this point, Fellow Daoist Xue should give me an explanation."

The flamboyant man retorted:

"This has nothing to do with us."

"shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, Boss Xue sternly interrupted him, shouting:

"You spineless coward, who gives you the right to speak here?"

"I told you to kill the murderer who killed my sixth brother, ninth sister, and fifth brother, but you still haven't done it. You're a complete waste."

Then he said to the chubby man:

"In the end, the enemy was too cunning, and the young clan leader was too young, which allowed a group of Qi Refining stage thieves to escape."

Fat Tiger, his face flushed with anger, said:

"What do you mean?"

Boss Xue was clearly mocking him.

They said that he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, led an army of demons and ghosts to hunt down a group of Qi Refining cultivators, but failed to kill a single enemy, and still had the nerve to come back and demand accountability.

Fatty stopped Fatty Tiger and said with a smile:

"Let's let this matter rest, and let's not blame each other anymore."

"However, I will get an extra 10% of the spoils in the future."

The flamboyant man frowned, thinking to himself, "This guy's appetite is too big."

There are at least three hundred rogue cultivators brought in. Killing them would be a huge resource, and he wants to take a tenth of it with just a word.

The flamboyant man gestured to Boss Xue, hoping he would refuse.

However, Boss Xue laughed and said:

"As long as the plan can be completed, I will directly give the clan chief an extra 20%."

The chubby, round face lit up with joy, and he said:

"Fellow Daoist Xue is indeed magnanimous."

He asked with a puzzled look:

"But has Fellow Daoist Xue come up with a way to lure the human cultivators here?"

"After all, they are all slick and slippery people, so it's not easy to get them to gather here in large numbers."

Boss Xue smiled slightly and said:

"Chief, please rest assured."

"I have prepared things that no human can refuse."

Look!

The Painted Skin Ghost formed hand seals, and a stream of ghostly energy flowed into the human skin willow tree. The willow tree emitted faint glows, which drifted into the air. Soon, a magnificent gate to a ruin appeared.

The once eerie stone forest has been transformed into a luxurious ruin containing treasures, with the aura of many treasures still lingering and starlight shining within.

Boss Xue laughed:

"In that case, do you think those humans will come?"

Fatty gave a thumbs up and said:

"Brilliant!"

"With such a huge temptation, we're still worried about whether there will be too many people to kill."

Hahaha……

The two men let out a wild laugh.

Jiang Yu, observing from the shadows, widened his eyes and muttered:

"Is this a mirage?"

He frowned in thought, then suddenly realized:

"I understand now. Boss Xue wants to disguise this place as the entrance to the Tianmen Mountain Secret Realm to lure rogue cultivators into a trap."

The Tianmen Mountain Secret Realm will open in three days, and disciples from the six major sects usually arrive the day before.

If these rogue cultivators knew that the Tianmen Mountain Secret Realm had opened ahead of schedule, they would definitely think they were lucky and would be eager to enter it.

What a vicious plan!
