"Boom!"

  Ten thousand miles away, a burst of blood light shot out, dyeing half the sky red. Even in the dark night of the ghost domain, it couldn't block that intense radiance.

  In the midst of blood and light, countless rays outlined a gigantic corpse. The corpse emitted boundless spiritual light, and innumerable ancient corpses crawled out of their graves on the entire western land of South Ridge, kneeling and trembling with fear.

  Si Si's two eyes shot out a golden and red light respectively, gazing far into the sky, saying: "I seem to see a headless corpse emperor descending upon a grave 900,000 miles away."

  Kuo Yi's mind was greatly shocked, and he exchanged a glance with Hua Er on the second floor, both of them bitter smiles.

  "I thought only the young and skilled would be moved, but unexpectedly even a veteran like Corpse Emperor was summoned by her. This Ghost Domain hasn't been so lively in a long time." A voice sounded from within the red wooden coffin.

  "Boom!"

  On the horizon in another direction, a kilometer-sized crimson millstone broke through the clouds and rolled rapidly towards the Divine Spirit Mausoleum, its massive pressure crushing countless mausoleums on the ground.

  "The top master of Demon Island has arrived!"

  "Boom!"

  A massive white bone mountain range, like a meteor, burst into the night sky, jumping over and disappearing repeatedly. Each time it disappeared, it moved forward by 100,000 miles, soon passing over the top of the Youdu Ghost City and vanishing at the edge of the sky.

  "Bai Gu Shan also has an old generation of masters going there!"

  ……

  "What is this dead woman doing? So many big shots from the cultivation world have been brought here, let alone her as a sect master, even if Yanluo were to be reborn or the Ghost King were to appear in the world, they would still be jointly exterminated by these people."

  Every single one of the Dharma Lords has already attained the state of Tongxuan, and even on ordinary days, it's extremely difficult to catch a glimpse of one, but tonight several have appeared in succession. I reckon some senior fellow practitioners will also be arriving tonight. If these people were to engage in an all-out battle, the entire western part of Nanling would be turned upside down.

  "No way, I have to rush over right away."

  Guo Yike didn't think he had any weight in front of these big shots, so naturally he wanted to drag SiSi into this. This was a corpse emperor among emperors, although its brain development wasn't complete yet, but its combat strength could definitely make those old generation masters headache.

  Ximen Wolf and Nangong Sheep had never seen such a big scene, their teeth chattered with fear, saying: "We brothers won't accompany Brother Guo to join in the excitement, we still have important matters...important matters..."

  Guo Yeshen smiled and said, "If you two don't go, if I die, there will be no one to accompany you in a duel. Your reputation as the Double Saints will probably have to retire and yield to others."

  Ximen Wolf and Nangong Sheep gritted their teeth and followed Guo Yao to the Divine Spirit Mausoleum.

  "Damn it, just die already."

  Hua Er Lou had originally planned to play dead, and had already packed his bags ready to escape through the Void Gate. However, the person in the red wooden coffin told him that inside the divine coffin was another world, and it wasn't necessarily true that those with higher strength would have the upper hand; as long as one's luck was good, they could still obtain great opportunities.

  "Opportunities and dangers coexist." Hua Er Lou suddenly had a fearless look, sitting on the red wooden coffin, rushing through the air.

  In the western part of the Nanling Mountains, this haunted domain, after nightfall, once you leave the city, it's fraught with danger, and murderous intent is everywhere. Unless one has an extremely high level of cultivation, no one dares to fly freely in mid-air.

  Guo Ye and others were the same, only tens of meters away from the ground, flying at low altitude, but their speed was not slow at all. In just two hours, they had traveled 150,000 miles out of the Youdu Ghost City.

  "Halt!"

  Guo Yi raised his hand and gazed into the distance, where he saw a ghostly lantern shining brightly in the darkness.

  The surrounding cold wind blows in gusts, and ghosts wander around, why is there a lantern shining here.

  "This place is full of wild graves, how can a ghost lantern appear? There must be something strange." Hua Er Lou's heart felt faint.

  Ximen Wolf looked up at the sky and said, "In another hour it will be dawn. I've heard that some fierce ghosts like to come out and hunt for food at this time. Let's hurry up."

  In the dark of night, one can't even see their own fingers when stretching out a hand. Even if someone had set traps, it would be hard to discover them. This ghost lantern is really too strange; everyone wants to leave this place as soon as possible.

  "We skirted around the lantern and continued on our way."

  At this moment, a burst of zither sound suddenly rose from the direction of the ghost lantern. The zither sound was ethereal and lively, drifting out hundreds of miles away in the dark night. The zither sound rang out nine times, each one like a heavenly melody, as if nine songs were played simultaneously in an instant.

  The lanterns also floated with the sound of the piano, and the piano sounded nine times. The flames of the lanterns rose nine times, and when the ninth note fell, the flames of the lanterns doubled.

  "This zither sound is really too mysterious, could it be that Liu Xianzi is here?" Xi Men Lang exclaimed.

  "No." Guo Yi and Hua Er Lou simultaneously vetoed, saying: "This is Liu Er's zither sound."

  "Who is Liu Er?" Nangong Yang didn't expect that in this world, besides Liu Yanran, there was another person whose piano sound could be so moving.

  "He furrowed his brow and said: 'She is Liu Yanran's maid, also her half-disciple.'"

  "What is she doing here?"

  "Everyone be careful," Guo Yi whispered, "we'll sneak over and take a look, see what she's doing here."

  Everyone was curious, a woman in this desolate wilderness lit a lantern and played beautiful music on the zither, what was her purpose?

  Nangong Yang smiled and said: "It can't be that you have a date with your lover! Will we disturb others?"

  "I feel like she's deliberately leading us somewhere, could it be that she's been waiting for us all along?" Hua Er Lou was the most meticulous among everyone, and he caught on to some clues.

  A few people walked to the tenth mile of the ghost lantern, only to find that this was actually a deserted ghost village, and the light of the ghost lantern came from a dilapidated wine house in the village.

  Ghost villages are not uncommon in this ghost domain, and you can see a village like this without human habitation almost every few hundred miles. Most of the houses here are dilapidated and even only a pile of rubble is left.

  This is a newly built wine shed, with dim lights inside, a skull is cooking the best tea wine on the stove, and white wine fumes are floating out of the wine shed, spreading to ten miles away.

  "So familiar wine aroma, damn it, it's actually this skull."

  Across a distance of ten miles, Guo Yi recognized the skull that was brewing wine in the wine shed, it was indeed the Bone Xi who had been with Ghost Young Master in the isolated city back then.

  "If he is here, then won't the Ghostly Young Master also be nearby?"

  Because they were all spiritual beings, Guo Yi didn't dare to get too close, fearing being discovered by the other party. He could only see that there was still someone sitting in the wine shed, but because he had his back turned, even his gender couldn't be discerned.

  Nangong Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, saying: "The air is filled with a faint scent of perfume. Years of experience tell me that it's a woman."

  Hua Er Lou strained her eyes to get a clearer look, and after a while, she said: "Why do I feel that the woman's back looks very much like Leng Yan Yan?"

  "Chilly!" After Hua Er Lou said this, Guo Yi looked towards the wine shed again, and that figure really did have a bit of resemblance to the ghost-faced woman.

  At that time, Guo Yi and ** went to find the wine ghost tank, coincidentally met her, she was also going to go to the western part of Nanling at that time, but when Liu Yanran arrived in Xukong City, she mysteriously disappeared.

  Lao Mangzi also mentioned it at the time, and he seemed to want to tell Guo Yao about Leng Yan's identity. However, none of Guo Yao's three questions were related to her, so Lao Mangzi didn't say anything either.

  "Why isn't Liu'er here? Why is Leng Yan together with this wine-brewing skull? And whose zither music was that just now?"

  Guo Yemian narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Second floor, do you think Leng Yanran might be Liu Er?"

  "Ah...... I never thought of that." Hua Er Lou pondered for a moment and said: "But the two look completely different?"

  "Hmm! We've only seen the true face of Cold Flame once, and all other times she's worn a white bone mask." Guo Yi thought of a possibility: "Don't forget that female ghosts can change their appearance. Although it's not as flawless as the Cheating Heaven Mask, if we don't use our spiritual sense to deliberately investigate, she can deceive us."

  At that time in the Ice and Fire Little World, Gui Ji used this trick to slip away from under Guo Yi's eyelids, and Guo Yi remembered it very deeply.

  Hua Er Lou said solemnly, "Now that you mention it, this is indeed possible. At the time, we all went to Xiang Zhou Fei Que to catch a glimpse of Liu Yanran's extraordinary beauty, but she didn't show up. This can only prove that she was already at the scene at the time, and we just didn't notice her."

  There was one thing Guo Yi didn't say, "If Liu Er is indeed cold and ruthless, wouldn't that mean that Liu Yanran had originally planned to head to the western part of Nanling, and Guo Yi's abduction of her just added a bit of variation?"

  Is it really like Hua Er Lou said, that in the next game of chess, Guo Yi inadvertently walked into the chess situation and also became her pawn.

  Hua Er Lou looked at Guo Yi's changing expression and asked: "Boss, what are you thinking?"

  "What kind of person is she?" Guo Yi asked after a long time.

  Hua Er Lou was extremely intelligent and naturally understood what Guo Yi meant, also knowing what he was thinking in his heart right now. He smiled and said: "No matter what kind of person she is, even if she can manipulate everyone under the heavens with the palm of her hand, I believe she must have taken a liking to you. This might be the only variable in this game of chess that she didn't anticipate."

  "Women can easily deceive men, but they also easily get themselves trapped. This is a woman's strong point and also her weak point."

  Ximen Wolf and Nan Gong Yang excitedly pulled on Hua Er Lou's hands, saying: "Brother Hua really understands women! We two are short of an apprentice, we unanimously think you're the most suitable candidate."

  "Damn it, I've already got eighteen wives, why take such a great risk to be a flower thief!" Hua Er Lou's expression was agitated, and he inadvertently didn't control his voice, suddenly startling someone in the wine shed.

  As several people had guessed, the woman was indeed Liu'er. She hadn't turned her body around, but everyone heard her voice, which was very pleasant to listen to: "Liu'er has been waiting for Young Master Guo for a whole night now; won't Young Master Guo come and have a couple of cups of tea and wine?"

  Guo Yi glared at Hua Er Lou with a hint of complaint, but didn't plan on heading towards the wine shed. Instead, he chuckled and said: "Should I call you Liu'er young lady or Leng young lady?"

  "Haha, it seems that my young lady has misjudged this time. I didn't expect Young Master Guo to be so perceptive and actually recognize me." So said Liu'er, who had essentially admitted that she was indeed Leng Yan Yan.

  "Then what does your young lady think of me?"

  "My young lady said that Master Guo appears to be both rascal and cunning on the surface, but in fact, he is actually a fool, a big fool." Yuer smiled.

  "What's wrong with you, do I really look that bad? Rascal, cunning, fool, can't she see a more positive image of me?" Guo Yi was emotionally agitated, if Liu Yanran were here, the two would definitely fight.

  Liu Er said: "Yes, my young lady said that Young Master Guo attaches great importance to his promises and is a trustworthy person."

  "That's for sure."

  Liu'er suddenly said seriously: "Since Master Guo attaches the most importance to promises, then he should remember that he still owes my family's young lady six things. Now is the time to repay his debts."

  He fell into the trap again. Guo Yi scolded himself in his heart, was he really as stupid as she said?

  "Is she telling you to wait for me here just to pay off a debt?"

  "Right?"

  "What kind of law is this?"

  "When the sky brightens, at least ten top-notch Daoist masters will pass through this ancient Xuan domain. The first thing my young mistress wants to do is for Young Master Guo to keep all these seniors here and drink with them for three days." said Liu'er.

  Hua's mind was racing, and he hastily said: "Boss, Liu Yanran must have a big scheme, these righteous path seniors are definitely here to stop her, she is using you, don't agree to it at all costs."

  The person in the red wood coffin also said: "The cultivation of these people must be more terrifying than that of the seven major evil lands. Blocking their way is simply looking for death."

  Kwok Yat Kiu said: "I promised her that no matter whether these people drink or not, I will keep them here for three days."
