You Siqi’s words made the expressions of the people around him turn even uglier. After all, everyone knew in their hearts that no matter how unpleasant You Siqi’s words were, they were all true.
The Ghost King and Lu Wuming were, after all, father and son.
It was hard to imagine anyone other than this scumbag Ghost King who would think of using such a method to deal with his own son.
After escaping that environment, Thirteen seriously considered it and realized that their King’s attitude towards Lu Wuming was indeed terrible.
Without comparison, it was difficult to grasp the extent of this problem. However, with Liu Buli by his side as a contrast, the Ghost King’s mistreatment of Lu Wuming became starkly clear.
For a moment, everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere fell into a deadlock. Liu Buli could sense Lu Wuming’s spirits sinking, so he reached out and gently ruffled the other’s head. Liu Buli then spoke directly, “Since the next wave is coming soon, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s quickly deal with all the cultivators that need to be handled right now, and then we’ll personally go to the Ghost Realm. That way, the Ghost King won’t have to send anyone else.”
Upon hearing his statement, Shen Muzhi frowned, his tone tinged with disapproval. He said, “Choosing the final battlefield in the Ghost Realm would be advantageous to them. Are you sure you want to do this?”
“It’s not that I want to, it’s that we have to,” Liu Buli shrugged. “The Ghost King cannot leave Ghost City. Even if I wanted to lure him here, he wouldn’t be able to come out. Since that’s already established, it doesn’t matter where we fight those insignificant pawns. To catch the bandit, first catch the king. Since the ultimate goal is to eliminate the Ghost King, there’s no need to delay any further.”
He paused for a moment, then looked down at the long sword in his hand and murmured, “Besides, my current state is quite good. If I fight him in this condition, I have a chance of winning.”
As if to echo Liu Buli’s condition, the demonic energy on his sword suddenly erupted, causing Shen Muzhi to quickly cast a barrier with a flick of his hand. He was afraid that Liu Buli’s demonic energy would be too strong and harm You Siqi, who was no different from an ordinary person.
Seeing him in this state, everyone was mostly convinced. If he maintained this condition, he indeed had the strength to fight the Ghost King.
Liu Buli had always been the backbone of their team. When he made a decision, although Shen Muzhi would discuss it with him, if Liu Buli had made up his mind, the others would follow his lead.
Therefore, over the next few days, they accelerated their cleanup efforts. After thoroughly eliminating everyone in the cultivation world who had been marked by Yun Xiang, Liu Buli ceased his actions. He then found a quiet town and let everyone rest for about ten days.
The best physicians and alchemists in the world were on their team, and the cultivation world had already been thoroughly intimidated by their actions. As a result, the final cleanup work did not cause them any significant harm.
Ten days was more than enough for everyone to fully recover.
Of course, Liu Buli’s condition only worsened.
When he met Shen Muzhi and the others again after ten days, Shen Muzhi was startled by the overly intense blood-red color in his eyes.
Frowning, Shen Muzhi warned, “Liu Buli, this is not good for you. If it continues, you will descend deeper into demonic possession, and you will surely be backlashed.”
“What if I’m backlashed? It will only make me more irritable,” Liu Buli shrugged, as if he didn’t care at all. He said calmly, “Don’t worry too much. It won’t be long now. After I kill that Ghost King, I’ll have you treat me. I believe in your skills; you saved me once, and you can save me again.”
I’m afraid I won’t be able to save you a second time.
Shen Muzhi replied in his heart with a complex expression.
However, he did not voice this thought. After all, they were about to face their most powerful enemy. If they faltered at this moment, it would be detrimental to them.
Shen Muzhi understood this principle very well.
So, after staring into Liu Buli’s eyes for a moment, he finally sighed softly and said, “I will save you.”
Liu Buli smiled with satisfaction.
Then, accompanied by Thirteen, they reached the border between the Ghost Realm and the Human Realm at the fastest speed. Since Thirteen had intended to bring people back, he had his token with him.
He passed through the gate himself, and Liu Buli and Lu Wuming followed suit.
Upon entering Ghost City, it was still daytime in the cultivation world.
But the moment they stepped inside, it was as if the sun had been completely obscured. All they saw was an abhorrent darkness. Before Liu Buli could even adjust, an expression of displeasure involuntarily appeared on his face.
Unlike him, Lu Wuming, being of the ghost race, naturally possessed night vision. Therefore, the darkness meant nothing to him. It was precisely because of this that Lu Wuming immediately noticed Liu Buli’s displeasure upon entering Ghost City.
Without any hesitation, Lu Wuming raised his hand and ignited his spiritual power, creating a lamp that illuminated the path around them.
Furthermore, he made the lamp rise into the sky, fully releasing its spiritual power, causing its light to descend like the sun, illuminating the entire Ghost City.
According to Liu Buli’s plan, they were here purely to cause trouble. In that case, there was no need to conceal their presence.
Lighting up Ghost City immediately after entering and dispelling the darkness was equivalent to increasing their environmental advantage.
However, this approach did have its drawbacks.
For instance, the moment the light appeared, all the ghosts in Ghost City became aware of their presence. Without even waiting for the Ghost King’s command, the ghosts began to charge towards them.
As an intense battle was about to begin, Liu Buli patted Lu Wuming’s shoulder.
Their eyes met.
Lu Wuming nodded in understanding, which was rare.
Liu Buli smirked, leaned in, and kissed Lu Wuming on the corner of his mouth. Then, he charged out with his sword. Relying on his speed advantage, he grabbed You Siqi with one hand and quickly disappeared into the horde of ghosts.
