Mist Smoke Mountain, within the underground Yin River.
Chen Mu was rapidly flying through the narrow crevices between the rocks.
He had just squeezed his body sideways into a cave about three to five meters tall when Chen Mu couldn’t help but shudder all over.
"Junior Brother, where are you going?" A familiar figure with a sinister smile stood in the depths of the cave.
How did this madman get ahead of me?!
Looking at the sinister figure slowly floating toward him, Chen Mu involuntarily took a step back.
The next moment, Chen Mu’s vision blurred, and Sun Wuhuan suddenly vanished from the spot.
This is bad!
Chen Mu’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
Before he could react, he felt a cold breath blown on his neck.A chill instantly spread from his head to his feet, pervading his entire body.
Chen Mu turned his head as if it were rusted.
He saw Sun Wuhuan’s chubby, smiling face, which had somehow ended up resting on his shoulder.
It seemed to notice Chen Mu’s gaze.
The other party’s head slowly turned with a click-click sound.
As he turned, blood flowed from his eyes.
"Don’t run away, Junior Brother, come play with me."
Sun Wuhuan’s tone, gentle and close at hand, made one’s scalp tingle.
His mouth already turned dark and rotten, and his tongue made Chen Mu’s hair stand on end?!
Chen Mu looked at the rotting head with ripples of desire with a complex expression.
Damn it!
...
Underground in Mist Smoke Mountain.
Within a certain spherical aperture.
In the vast space with a diameter as long as a basketball court, black smoke permeated the area.
Xin Ya was holding a black porcelain bottle the size of a palm and muttering to himself; strands of black smoke occasionally spiraled into it.
Whoosh!
A hand suddenly burst out from his chest.
Xin Ya’s body stiffened, his face full of bewilderment.
The next moment.
Boom!
He suddenly exploded, turning into a swarm of transparent insects the size of soybeans, scattering in all directions.
They quickly regrouped on the other side of the aperture space, reconstituting Xin Ya’s figure.
With a gloomy face, he stared at the opposite side, as three tufts of ghostly green flames flared up behind him, casting the entire aperture space in a chilly green hue.
"Wei Donglai?!"
"Are you puzzled?" In a corner of the aperture space, the solid wall spread apart like mud, revealing a tall figure in a red dress.
"Liu Ling, you..." Xin Ya looked at Wei Donglai and Liu Ling, his expression drastically changing.
I’ve been calculated!
"You think you can take me down just like that?" Xin Ya’s face was sinister.
"Thinking of escaping?" Wei Donglai’s tattoo-covered face was indifferent, "Relying on your Flawless Immortality Technique?"
"Do you think I wanted to exhaust your insect avatar?"
"Without the insect avatar to die for you, how else do you plan to escape?"
Xin Ya glared at Wei Donglai without speaking.
"Or do you think to resurrect yourself using the second insect nest you hid in Hundred Insects Valley?" Liu Ling spoke faintly.
"Hopeless, I burned it for you."
Xin Ya stiffened all over, unbelievably looking at the two of them; his heart sank completely.
It’s over!
...
Under a dark cave in Mist Smoke Mountain.
Chen Mu was shrouded in Five Ghosts Black Smoke, crouched on a protruding rock at the mouth of the cave.
In his right hand, he held a Glowing Algae Lamp, looking down with a complex expression.
More than a dozen Sun Wuhuans, with crazed smiles, watched him intently.
While watching, they were absurdly spitting blood and laughing.
"I have to say, it’s been almost four or five years since I last saw Ghosts, and I kind of miss them."

At that moment, he felt an odd sense of relief, as if he had seen an old friend.
"It must be an illusion!"
Chen Mu shook his head vehemently.
Where did these things come from?
Having been in Yunzhou for four or five years, he had heard plenty of rumors about demons and ghosts. He would see Exotic Beasts every now and then.
But it was his first time encountering Ghosts, and he met so many all at once.
"This is just the underground Yin River."
"What about the surface?" Chen Mu couldn’t help but look up.
In the past month, he had been following Liang Yi around the underground Yin River, but had never seen even one Ghost.
"Could it be that Liang Yi’s Mountain Protection Law attracted them?" Chen Mu shivered uncontrollably.
What does Jilong Road want to do?
He thought about it for quite a while.
Only when those Ghosts turned into giant toads covered in pus-filled boils did Chen Mu snap back to reality.
"Eh... you guys, compared to Yuanbao, your looks are far inferior!"
He got up, intending to follow the Yin River and leave Mist Smoke Mountain’s territory.
Suddenly, a thought struck Chen Mu.
Could it be that Sun Wuhuan was also surrounded by these Ghosts?
He couldn’t help but look at the Five Ghosts around him.
Should he disguise himself as a Ghost and secretly help him?
After deliberating, Chen Mu sighed and shook his head, "Forget it. What if Sun Wuhuan has some divine method to guard his spirit and is not afraid of attacks from the Ghosts?"
"If I sneak over there, wouldn’t I be walking right into a trap?"
"I’d better think about how to get out of the ground and where to go next."
Go to Mist Smoke Mountain, return to Jilong Road, or quietly leave to become a Wild Cultivator.
With Sun Wuhuan around, none of these are good options.
"Ah... this is difficult!"
...
In a certain underground space.
Sun Wuhuan was holding a Red Gourd in his right hand.
The Silver-White Flying Sword, like a nimble fish, continuously circled around him.
High-level demons with the knack of opening, eminent figures with Condensing Aperture, and strange living dead, each with a terrifying appearance, surrounded him, all looking at him with an indifferent, mocking gaze.
He must not be afraid!
They were all illusions!
Sweat beaded Sun Wuhuan’s forehead as he repeatedly reminded himself inwardly.
But no matter how he comforted himself, an inexplicable fear kept surging into his heart.
"No! I must not sit still and wait for death!
Bang!
A pitch-black snakehead as high as a basketball hoop next to him was pierced by the Flying Sword and dissipated into wisps of smoke.
Sun Wuhuan urged the Longitudinal Rainbow Light, following the Flying Sword closely, and quickly disappeared into a narrow crack in the rocks.
After a while.
Sun Wuhuan reemerged from another end.
He gazed in despair at the faces in the cave that seemed to smile mockingly.
This was already his fifth time returning to the starting point!
"Playing tricks on me!"
Sun Wuhuan’s eyes were bloodshot, and the palm-length Flying Sword radiated with intense Spiritual Light as he slashed at those silent, unresisting figures that just stared and laughed at him.
Boom boom boom...
A series of explosions sounded.
The creepy figures suddenly turned into streams of black smoke and vanished.
But in just the blink of an eye, they reappeared.
As if they had always been standing there!
"Impossible!"
...
When Chen Mu, wrapped in Five Ghosts Black Smoke, quietly floated along with the current of the Yin River, he arrived here and saw Sun Wuhuan with dimmed Spiritual Light. He was crazily urging his Flying Sword, furiously hacking away at the air around him.
Opposite Sun Wuhuan, a basketball-sized black cloud with lava-like patterns was floating.
At that moment, the cloud was slowly contracting and expanding, as if breathing.
Chen Mu’s pupils suddenly dilated.
This form of Ghost... Aside from being a little smaller, it looked almost identical to Cui Cui’s true form!
"Don’t see me!"
"Don’t see me!"
Chen Mu wished he could slap himself twice.
You should’ve just honestly made your escape, so why the hell did you come back?!
He immediately looked away and wrapped himself tightly in the Five Ghosts Black Smoke, staying motionless and allowing the underground river to carry him slowly towards the other end of the cave.
For a long time, Sun Wuhuan was still wildly swinging his Flying Sword at the air.
But Chen Mu didn’t feel affected in the least.
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
Fortunately, I’ve had enough experience using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse to lift the restrictions of the Five Ghosts and successfully bluff my way through.
Just as he was thinking, he glanced upwards with the corner of his eye.
Then he saw it, a black and red cloud that had appeared beside him at some point.
It seemed to notice Chen Mu’s gaze.
The black and red cloud suddenly grew larger.
"Chirp chirp... chirp chirp... chirp chirp chirp!"
Chen Mu: "..."
Fuck!
