First Summoner

Qi Yan's face became solemn, and he said, "This is the first level of purgatory. Every step you take is an illusion. If you can't break through the illusion in time, you will be torn to pieces by the surrounding resentful ghosts."

Shen Yan nodded.

"let's go together."

Qi Yan's expression suddenly became complicated. He looked at Shen Yan's exquisite and beautiful profile, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Shen Yan seemed to notice his gaze and turned to ask, "How long does it take you to break through an illusion?"

Qi Yan said: "About three breaths of time."

"Okay, let's try to be consistent."

When Qi Yan heard this, he was about to ask a question, but swallowed it back silently.

He wondered in his heart, could she keep up with him?

After a while——

Qi Yan was slapped in the face, because Shen Yan was not only able to keep up with him, but also took less time than him.

It's him who worries too much.

However, the problem at hand is not just about breaking the illusion, but also about the resentful ghosts that keep pouring in from all around, and they are stronger than before.

They pounced on Shen Yan and Qi Yan and bit them extremely brutally.

Shen Yan and Qi Yan not only have to face the killing in the illusion, but also have to defend against attacks in reality.

Before they had taken ten steps, Shen Yan and Qi Yan were injured, and the bitten areas gradually became transparent.

Only abundant ghost power can restore them to their original state, but now they still have to continue to consume ghost power.

Shen Yan swung her sword and chopped off the ghost that was charging at her. She turned her head to look at Qi Yan and said in a deep voice, "Qi Yan, can you be faster?"

Qi Yan was already out of breath. Hearing this, he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Yes!"

How could he lose to a human?

Shen Yan said to him: "Whether it is reality or illusion, just kill."

Hearing this, Qi Yan suddenly understood everything, but -

Killing too much will also make you resentful and turn you into a vengeful ghost or an evil ghost.

Qi Yan gritted his teeth and expressed his concerns.

Shen Yan replied: "As long as I am here, you will not become a resentful ghost."

When Qi Yan heard this, his eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

He thought for a few seconds and decided to trust her for once.

He took out a bottle of pills and poured them into his mouth. A determined look appeared on his handsome face. He tightly gripped the sword in his hand, and his eyes gradually became fierce and sharp.

Then, he let out an angry roar, and his figure flashed as he stepped forward. For a moment, sword lights flashed, and sword energy was everywhere. Souls were scattered wherever he passed, and no one could resist his thunderous attack.

The speed of advancement has increased a lot.

Shen Yan naturally would not stay where she was. She raised her sword and swung it out, and the ghost power blade swept out instantly.

...

the other side.

The underworld, within Pei.

In the palace, King Zhong Pei received a message from Ao Xian.

After hearing the content of the message, King Zhong Pei's face was filled with shock and anger, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

When did Hong Ling meet the demon couple?

When he thought about how several Hades generals under his command had died at his hands, a nameless anger welled up in his heart, but he had to calm down.

King Zhong Pei sent a message back: "Keep an eye on them first."

After he finished speaking, he thought of someone, and his eyes flashed with a dark light.

He immediately sent someone to invite the distinguished guest.

Soon, a tall and straight figure appeared in the hall.

King Zhong Pei looked up and saw a young man in a black robe. He was not wearing a crown, but had black hair scattered on his shoulders. He had three-dimensional features, a handsome and tough face, and a strong aura.

The young man asked, "I wonder why the king summoned me here today?"

King Zhong Pei's face was covered with wrinkles. When he squinted his eyes slightly, the light in his eyes was extremely sharp. He said in a deep voice: "A demon couple appeared in the spirit realm, staying with Qi Yan, a ghost general under King Hong Ling. According to reports, the demon man was very skilled. He killed four ghost generals by himself and seriously injured two other ghost generals, but he was unharmed. Our ghost world has never communicated with the demon world, so how did King Hong Ling know the demons?"

"Demon race?" The young man frowned.

King Zhong Pei looked down at the people in the hall below, "Do you know him?"

The young man seemed to have thought of something and looked up. "King, can you tell me the characteristics of that demon couple?"

Zhong Pei Wang said: "It is reported that they are all wearing silver masks, so their true appearance cannot be seen."

The young man was silent for a moment, "King, if I'm not mistaken, she is here."

After hearing this, King Zhong Pei's face changed drastically.

"Isn't she human now?"

"Yes, but she can also enter the underworld as a soul."

"But..." King Zhong Pei hesitated, "During this period of time, I have not sensed any power fluctuations in the gate to the underworld."

The young man looked deep in the eyes and sneered sarcastically, "It's because of the man next to her."

Then he asked again: "Where is she now, King?"

King Zhong Pei now believed the young man's words. His eyes flickered with a dim light and he sneered, "Spiritual Realm, Tianzhou City. They entered the teleportation pavilion. I guess they are going to the Observatory or the Hell Layer of the Spiritual Realm."

The young man said in a deep voice: "We must not let her regain her power!"

Prince Zhong Pei looked at the young man in surprise, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you have a personal grudge against her?"

The young man remained calm. He raised his eyes to meet King Zhong Pei's gaze and smiled: "Yes, I was deceived by her so badly."

If Shen Yan were here at this moment, she would definitely recognize at a glance that the young man is Shen Ce.

And Shen Ce is the mysterious man who instigated the second king to deal with the Red Spirit King.

"King, since she is here, don't let her leave the underworld alive." Shen Ce smiled, but his eyes were as deep as a dark pool. He stayed in the underworld for so long just to wait for Shen Yan's arrival.

King Zhong Pei nodded.

"That's natural."

After a pause, King Zhong Pei hesitated and said, "But...she has such a powerful demon tribe around her, how can we get rid of her?"

Shen Ce opened his mouth slowly and told his plan.

After hearing this, King Zhong Pei's face changed drastically, and he immediately rejected it firmly: "No!"

Shen Ce asked expressionlessly: "Does the king have a better way to kill her?"

King Zhong Pei's old face turned gloomy at this moment. He slammed the table and stood up, his tone filled with anger: "This matter concerns the entire underworld. If I do this, the underworld will definitely be in danger!"

King Zhong Pei stared at Shen Ce with cold eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic sneer.

"Shen Ce, Shen Ce, let's be frank. You keep saying that you want to join hands with us to fight against that powerful enemy, but what is the reality? You have never regarded us as real allies, but just want to use us to achieve your own goals!"

Facing King Zhong Pei's accusations, Shen Ce calmly shook his head.

Then, he opened his mouth to refute: "Wang, what you said is a bit exaggerated. I, Shen Ce, swear to heaven that I am absolutely sincere in wanting to cooperate with you. Otherwise, how dare I take my life as a bet? As long as you agree, I can lead the way and eliminate all obstacles for you!"
