"Huh?"
Suddenly, the luxurious figure walking upwards paused and looked at the mirror belonging to the South Hall.
In the mirror, Nan Ming's sword strike had directly split the mountains and rivers, as well as the colossal ghost before him.
The cut was incredibly smooth.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the colossal ghost, cleaved in two, bore an uncanny resemblance to Nan Ming himself.
—Nan Ming's greatest enemy was himself!
This severed ghost was the 'evil' that had once been split from his own being.
The 'evil' born from the desire for greater power.
But he had long since surpassed his past self, standing at the pinnacle of his abilities.
In this underworld, if there was anyone he couldn't defeat, it was only that one individual.
The colossal sword stood silently behind Nan Ming, its radiance contained.
Nan Ming did not look at the ghost on the ground, his gaze fixed on the north.
As if seeing through space, he saw the luxurious figure on the other side of the mirror.
He raised an eyebrow, his fighting spirit ignited.
"Come and fight!"
The next moment, Nan Ming's figure vanished into the mirror.
"As expected of Nan Ming, known as the strongest of the four directions."
Before the mirror, the luxurious figure sighed.
While the Eastern and Western Yama Kings were still engaged in battle, Nan Ming had already concluded his.
Anticipating that his opponent was already on his way north to find him, he was not in a hurry, continuing his ascent up the ethereal stairs.
His aura continued to climb.
...
Eastern Yama King's Hall—
Yan Luo, upon discovering that the seal targeting her had also been lifted, did not immediately exit.
Instead, she flew above the Yama King's Hall, her eyes glowing golden.
At this moment, the minds of all underworld personnel were connected.
Yan Luo's words, imbued with supreme authority, directly entered their minds.
"All ghost envoys not assigned to fixed posts, receive this order: a pursuit order is hereby issued to hunt down all troublemaking ghosts and monsters."
"Special Class ghost envoys are to immediately proceed to Special Seal Locations, numbers one through six."
"The remaining ghost envoys are to be arranged by the Captain, with the freedom to support other ghost envoys or pursue directly!"
...
"We obey!"
"We obey!"
Countless ghost envoys responded from all directions and immediately took action.
Few among the Special Class ghost envoys knew the locations of the special seals; some had only heard of them.
But when Yan Luo's words reached their minds, they immediately knew the seal locations and realized the gravity of the situation.
The sensation was peculiar, as if information in their minds had been synchronized and shared in an instant.
Jiang Lin, upon receiving the command, was in pursuit of a ghost shopkeeper.
From the information provided by the spirit carriages and patrolling intern ghost envoys, he had identified several locations frequented by ghost shopkeepers.
This time, upon venturing out, he had encountered one.
This ghost shopkeeper seemed more cunning and powerful than the one he had dealt with previously.
Based on their brief exchange, the opponent's cultivation realm was not low.
However, strangely, the opponent only fled and did not engage him in a head-on confrontation.
During the pursuit, the seals on some distant locations of imprisoned evil spirits suddenly erupted with dense ghostly energy.
Jiang Lin was startled; the seals in those places had been broken?
"Detected a locatable broadcast area, shall we split the camera feed?" the system's voice suddenly chimed in.
For the system, this was an opportunity to widely promote underworld culture, hence the proactive reminder.
And for Jiang Lin, it was not a bad thing.
At a time like this, he needed more strength.
While pursuing the ghost shopkeeper, he responded mentally, "Yes."
As soon as the words left his mind, the broadcasting equipment behind him split into several units and dispersed to various locations.
Simultaneously, the live stream's camera feed also split into multiple channels, broadcasting concurrently.
In the areas with the densest ghostly energy, the energy had almost solidified into tangible form.
Many humans without Yin-Yang eyes could vaguely see hordes of demons dancing.
Some people filming short videos outdoors were initially intrigued, wanting to capture these strange phenomena.
But soon, they discovered that these things were deadly!
A group of people abandoned their filming equipment and fled for their lives.
"Help—!"
"Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Hallelujah, all deities, whoever can save me, save this child!"
Some shouted, while others ran, tears streaming in the wind.
At this moment, they instinctively felt... that the world was about to change.
No matter who it was, they prayed for survival!
Suddenly, a monstrous creature lunged towards the humans.
But before it could get close to the group, it was sent flying with a single blow, much like a baseball.
"Hurry!" a stern voice called from behind.
Someone in the group looked back.
They saw a blurry white figure, wielding a white weapon, standing in mid-air.
It blocked the escaping ghosts, dividing the space into two distinct parts.
In front of the white figure was a chaotic scene of demons; behind it was the human world.
"Brother Bai, I'm here!"
Another black figure arrived from a distance.
Before their body arrived, the chains in their hands had already flown out.
The chains ensnared the monstrous creatures, emitting clanging sounds.
...
Watching the split screen feeds in the live stream, the viewers' eyes widened, their minds reeling with disbelief.
While their scalps tingled, they also grasped the severity of the situation.
"Mom, is this a horror resurgence?"
"I'm so scared I quickly knelt down and paid homage to the streamer! (scared.jpg)"
"Holy crap, holy crap, I'm in a coffee shop right now, and the sky outside is as dark as night. Should I run home quickly, or should I watch the ghost envoys in the live stream?"
"Don't run around randomly upstairs, you might die faster that way."
"Yeah, yeah, maybe the ghost envoys have already reached your area."
"..."
The viewer sitting in the coffee shop looked up from their phone with a pained expression and glanced to the right.
Through the coffee shop's floor-to-ceiling windows, the outside was shrouded in darkness, resembling six or seven in the evening.
Most importantly, a strange face was pressed against the window, staring at him silently.
Viewer: "..."
Don't think he didn't know, this thing was a monster!
All this time watching the live stream wasn't for nothing!
He silently clutched the red envelope he had drawn from the live stream, praying that he could hold on a little longer.
He shouldn't have gone out today, tAt...
"Summon ghost envoys, summon streamers, summon viewers to wield knives and fight ghosts..."
"You're enough upstairs! Shut up, I'm scared!"
...
