Gui Li has been back in Hu Xi Mountain for ten whole days, but the greatest and only goal still hasn't made any progress.

  Recently, the乾坤轮回盘 and the harmonious bell in Bi Yao's hand have not reacted at all. Every time he tries with hope, but gets a cold response. And that strange underground mysterious power also seems to have disappeared since then, and has never relapsed.

  Correspondingly, inside the Ghost King Sect's main hall, the atmosphere which was originally filled with gloomy clouds and mist suddenly underwent some changes. In these ten days, it was as if no one had gone mad and injured others anymore, and the speed at which the terrifying stone wall cracks expanded also suddenly stopped.

  Everything seems to have returned to its usual calm, all the people are slowly recovering from the brink of collapse, and smiles are slowly appearing on their faces, although there is still a hint of fear and caution in those smiles, but the atmosphere has changed completely from before.

  Inside the cave, in the corridors, more and more disciples of the Gui Wang Sect came and went, their original indifference to each other transformed into warm smiles and conversations.

  Whether or not this is a coincidence, these changes happened after Gui Li returned to Hu Xi Mountain. As a result, an unspoken rumor spread among the disciples of Gui Wang Zong that after the deputy sect master returned, although he seemed indifferent to the lower-ranking disciples on the surface, in reality, he quickly found and eliminated the source of the strange occurrences that had been happening since the disciples' arrival, thus restoring peace to the main hall of Gui Wang Sect.

  This rumor is obviously absurd and untrue, but perhaps because the previous period of time was spent in too much fear and terror, many of the Ghost King Sect's disciples actually believed it, and this statement quickly spread. As for how Gui Lie found the source of the anomaly and how he eliminated it, no one mentioned it clearly. It seems that no one can say what the mysterious source of the anomaly is. However, people seem to have completely ignored these questions and are just discussing them in private.

  Guilei naturally wouldn't know about these inexplicable rumors, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care in the slightest. The only thing on his mind was Biyu, who was still unconscious in the ice chamber. For him, this person who was most important to him had yet to awaken, and as for himself, the little bit of forced confidence he had mustered up for the first time had finally reached its limit today, worn down to nothing.

  "Bang!"

  Another soft sound, the Huwan bell fell into the Qiankun wheel again, rolled slightly, and stopped quietly.

  The ghost stared blankly at the jade plate and the bell in it, and the last glimmer of light in his already dull eyes disappeared.

  He stood silently for a long time, then picked up the Huanhua bell from the jade plate, walked to the side of the ice stone platform, and put it into Bixiao's hand. He carefully placed Bixiao's hands together on her chest, his movements gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

  He gazed at Biyu's face and said in a low voice: "Biyu, I'm sorry, I couldn't save you again..."

  "This Qiankun Wheel of Reincarnation is a treasured secret of the Tianyin Temple, I've borrowed it for over a dozen days now, and I really can't bear to not return it with a clear conscience."

  As he said this, his facial muscles twitched slightly, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be deeply moved. After a long while, he slowly calmed down and spoke softly: "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, no matter what, even if I have to travel the world, I'll definitely save you! Can you just endure for a little while longer?"

  Bi Yao lay quietly in front of him, her face still with a calm expression, the corners of her mouth faintly curved into a smile, although she didn't react, perhaps she was also responding to him.

  The corners of Gui Li's eyes suddenly became a little moist, he abruptly turned around, raised his head and took a deep breath, after that bit of moisture dissipated, he slowly walked out.

  The heavy stone gate slowly closed behind him, and Gui Li's mood also slowly fell to a low point. Standing still for a long time, he silently shook his head, as if trying to shake something out of his mind, then turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  Outside the icy stone chamber, in front of the corridor, a man in black stood silently like a ghost without any signs of life, staring at Gui Li. His eyes, deep and profound behind his veil, gazed at Gui Li for a moment before falling onto the Dry Wheel of Reincarnation in Gui Li's hand, never to leave again.

  The ghost only realized now that his mood had been low earlier, and it was because he had forgotten to put away the Qiankun wheel after coming out. He took out a black cloth and carefully wrapped up the Qiankun wheel, putting it back in his bosom. Mr. Gui watched his movements without stopping him, but his eyes flashed with an unusual light, as if thinking of something.

  Although Guī Lì found it strange that Guī Xiānshēng was standing there without saying a word, he didn't think much of it. Firstly, Guī Xiānshēng had always been eccentric and mysterious, and secondly, his current mood wasn't exactly conducive to inquiring about trivial matters. He couldn't be bothered to wonder why Guī Xiānshēng was standing there, and after putting away the Tiān Qì Huán Huan Pan, he didn't even bother to greet him. He simply walked forward, passing by Guī Xiānshēng's side without looking back, and continued on his way.

  Although Gu Li didn't want to bother with him, it seemed that Mr. Gui had other ideas. After walking about ten steps away, a voice suddenly came from behind him, cold and low but very clear, saying: "Please stop."

  The ghost frowned and turned around, looked at Mr. Ghost and said: "What's the matter?"

  Mr. Gui's eyes sparkled as he slowly said, "Is Miss Biyao doing well?"

  A flash of anger suddenly crossed Ghostly's face, and everyone in the Ghost King Sect knew about Bi Yao's situation. How could this Ghost gentleman be so ignorant? It was as if he was asking a question he already knew the answer to. If it were someone else, it might have been tolerable, but Ghostly had always been extremely sensitive about matters related to Bi Yao. As a result, almost no one in the Ghost King Sect dared to speak like this in front of him, and after all these years, Ghost gentleman was still the first person to do so.

  His face turned cold, his eyes sharp, staring at Mr. Gui and said in a cold tone: "What do you want to say?"

  Mr. Gui seemed to be completely unaware of the murderous aura emanating from Gui Li, but he didn't directly answer his question either. Instead, he asked another question, "I heard you found a new treasure to save Miss Biyao, is that true?"

  "The ghost's face turned cold and he said, 'Not bad, but what do you want to ask this for?' As he spoke, his body took a step forward towards Mr. Gui, his eyes gleaming with an even sharper light, and a formless killing aura began to stir."

  The ghostly gentleman remained oblivious to the danger that was approaching him, and seemed not to notice that Gui Lie had already become enraged. His nerves appeared to be completely cold, as he calmly said: "Will you lend me that treasure for a look?"

  His face was filled with rage, his clothes fluttering without wind, clearly he had become truly angry. He raised his foot and took a second step forward, and although this step seemed small, in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared three feet in front of Mr. Gui, able to envelop him in his true killing technique at any moment.

  It was just this murderous atmosphere that seemed to be on the verge of erupting into a great war, yet at that critical moment, it suddenly calmed down due to Mr. Gui's one sentence.

  "Perhaps I have some tricks up my sleeve for this treasure."

  The Ice Stone Chamber was a stone chamber specifically built by the Ghost King for Bi Yao. Since it was where Bi Yao resided, coupled with her special circumstances, it was naturally one of the most secluded places in the Ghost King Sect's main cave. The Ghost King had also issued strict orders earlier, ordinary Ghost King Sect disciples were absolutely not allowed to approach this place.

  In the Gui Wang Sect, there were no more than five people who could freely approach the Ice Stone Chamber. Gui Li and the always mysterious Mr. Gui were among them. At this moment, outside the Ice Stone Chamber, the passageway was empty and deserted, with only these two facing each other.

  The fierce gaze still stared at the name list on Mr. Gui's body, where the anger and killing intent had just burst out, but it had already slowly dissipated. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Do you recognize this thing?"

  The Master of Ghosts said faintly: "Just now I took a hasty glance, and didn't even see the appearance of the treasure clearly, so I couldn't say anything."

  The ghost hesitated for a moment, reached into his bosom and took out the Kunlun wheel wrapped in black cloth, untied the black cloth, just about to hand it over to Mr. Ghost, but suddenly had a few more hesitant, put the Kunlun wheel back in his hand, not handing it over.

  Mr. Gui's gaze lingered on the warm jade plate for a moment before slowly raising his eyes to look at Gui Jie, without speaking or urging him.

  Ghostly brows furrowed, with a hint of hesitation in his heart. The mysterious Mr. Ghost in front of him, although he claimed to be from the same Ghost King Sect as him at this moment, but it was clear that Ghostly had no trust in him whatsoever. Moreover, during the Beast God incident on Qingyun Mountain's Tongtian Peak, Mr. Ghost suddenly attacked when Ghostly and the mysterious old man from the Qingyun Gate Ancestral Hall were dueling, which especially made Ghostly feel discontented and disgusted.

  It was just a loathing for loathing's sake, but the mysterious figure in front of him, whether it was his moral integrity or his experience, was someone that Gui Li had never dared to underestimate. After hesitating several times in his heart, he finally let the most precious glimmer of hope deep down inside him overwhelm all other considerations, and slowly handed over the jade plate in his hand.

  The ghostly gentleman also remained silent, stretching out both hands to carefully receive the jade plate, holding it in front of his face and meticulously examining it through the black veil.

  On the warm jade plate, soft white light radiates, like invisible ripples flowing in mid-air. The patterns carved on the edge of the jade plate are some ancient and majestic, some vivid and ingenious, some like stars in the sky, and some like mountains and rivers, breathtaking. However, the most eye-catching place is still the central square area of the jade plate, where countless small jade blocks slide silently, endless yet each with its own mysterious trajectory, without any collision, dazzling and mesmerizing, vaguely feeling that among the countless jade blocks running, there must be some profound truth hidden.

  Apart from this, the mysterious treasure that originally belonged to Tianyin Temple has undergone a subtle change since Ghostly Cruel brought it out of Tianyin Temple. On the jade plate, there were small jade blocks that kept running, each with a strange font on one side. When Ghostly Cruel took the jade plate, these fonts were dull and lightless. However, in the乾坤轮回盘 held by Mr. Gui, some of the jade blocks' mysterious texts would suddenly flash brightly as they slid, before gradually fading away.

  These fonts shine brightly, seemingly without any rules to speak of, just as one side shines brightly, another place lights up again, with a few more points of anger and a few more points of mystery.

  Guilei had naturally discovered this change long ago. In fact, this change occurred only after the first time Ri used the Qiankun Wheel of Rebirth and suddenly triggered a strange force from the ground. Guilei even held hope for this change, but for ten whole days, no matter how he tried to figure it out, he still couldn't penetrate the mystery of this divine treasure.

  Mr. Gui's face was hidden behind a black veil, making it impossible to discern his changing expressions or guess what he was thinking, but the sparkle in his eyes was indeed getting brighter and brighter.

  A chill ran down his spine and he suddenly felt a little tense.

  It wasn't until much later that Mr. Gui finally put down the jade disc, his eyes leaving it after countless rotations, and looked up at Gui Jie.

  The ghost's voice was low and suppressed, as if trying to hold back his emotions, saying: "How?"

  The Ghost Master closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "This treasure is an Upper Grade artifact called the 'Star Disk'!"

  The ghost's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Star Disk?"

  Mr. Ghost nodded in agreement.

  The demon was taken aback, not expecting Mr. Gui to say such a thing, and for a moment he was stunned. When the sun was in the Tianyin Temple, Master Pu Heng and Master Pu De spoke with conviction, saying that this treasure was called the Qiankun Wheel of Rebirth, but how did it end up in Mr. Gui's hands and become some kind of star plate?

  However, Gui Li had already thrown this question out of his mind after a moment. To him, whether the jade plate was a wheel of reincarnation or a star plate was meaningless. What mattered most was whether Mr. Gui knew the secret of this treasure and used it to save Bi Yao. Looking at Mr. Gui's determined appearance, he seemed to have some confidence. Gui Li couldn't help but get excited, and hastily asked: "Do you know about it? Can it save Bi Yao?"

  Mr. Gui fell silent for a moment, although it was only a short time, but to Gui Li, it seemed like he had spent thousands of years in torment, his heart was raised to the edge of his throat, afraid that Mr. Gui would utter a sentence "can't".

  Fortunately, Mr. Gui, although somewhat hesitant, never directly said anything impossible, only to hear him say slowly: "This thing is an ancient artifact, the years are long and it has never appeared in the human world, I know a little about it, but I don't dare to confirm it completely, so let's try it out."

  The ghost's heart finally relaxed, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He thought that no matter what, there was still a glimmer of hope, and at this moment, it seemed that even this small hope was quite large. However, his heart was still filled with joy.

  He had been immersed in despair for too long, and a glimmer of hope might have driven him mad.

  Mr. Gui sank into thought for a moment, then said to Gui Li, "This isn't the right place, let's go into the Ice Stone Chamber first!"

  The ghost nodded slightly, just about to walk over, but hesitated again, then suddenly stretched out his hand towards Mr. Ghost's side and made a gesture of letting him go first, saying: "Please go in first, sir!"

  Gui Lie has always been a man who looks down on others, even in front of the Ghost King. It's rare for him to show any courtesy, so it's clear how important Bi Yao is to him that he would show such an attitude towards this Ghost Mister, whom he had never had a good impression of. The Ghost Mister seemed taken aback for a moment, but then glanced at him and nodded before walking away, with Gui Lie following behind him as they re-entered the Ice Stone Chamber.

  Inside the stone chamber, Bi Yao was still lying on the stone pedestal as before, serene and beautiful. A faint white mist of cold air drifted up from the icy stone pedestal and spread through the air.

  Gui Li walked up to Bi Yao's side, just wanting to take the Huan Xiang bell from her hand. Suddenly, he heard Mr. Gui say behind him: "Wait a minute before taking that Huan Xiang bell."

  Gui Li was taken aback and turned to look at Gui Xiansheng, saying: "Bi Yao's soul is locked in the He Huan bell, if you don't take it, how can we rescue her?"

  The master shook his head and said, "As I just mentioned, the star plate is an ancient artifact, and I only know a little about it. I don't dare to say that I have a good grasp of it. Before attempting it, let's not disturb Miss Biyao's harmony bell for now. After we have a better understanding, we can perform the spell later. At least, we must ensure Miss Biyao's soul is safe."

  The ghost woke up with a start and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Yes, sir."

  Mr. Gui held a jade plate and sat down cross-legged on the other side of the stone room, while Gui Lie walked over to sit opposite him, staring intently at him. Although Mr. Gui's sudden appearance brought a glimmer of hope, Gui Lie still didn't fully trust him, and despite his polite words, he was determined to remain vigilant.

  Only to see Mr. Gui slowly placing the jade plate on the ground in front of him, closing his eyes and meditating, as if some doubts still lingered in his mind, after a while, he opened his eyes, then slowly stretched out his right hand index finger, and slowly reached into the jade plate in front of him.

  The ghost's face changed color, and he immediately endured again. His eyes revealed a hint of tension as he stared at Mr. Ghost's face, although he couldn't see his expression. He saw that Mr. Ghost's eyes were fixed on the jade plate without blinking, clearly not relaxed either.

  Mr. Gui's index finger quickly approached the jade plate, and stopped five inches above it. Under his fingertip, there was still no change on the jade plate. In the soft white light, countless small jade blocks were still sliding along their orbits, and some characters flashed silently.

  Mr. Gui's hand remained suspended in mid-air, motionless, his eyes fixed on the jade plate as if searching for something. Although Gui Li was perplexed and didn't understand, she didn't dare to disturb him at that moment. Just then, Mr. Gui waited for what seemed like half a cup of tea before suddenly letting out a low shout; the hand that had been hovering above the jade plate shot down towards it with the speed of a lightning bolt splitting the sky.

  A faint, muffled sound, a jade block slid onto the road jade disk zhōng yāng, and the text on it had just lit up, just as it continued to darken into an obscure darkness, Mr. Ghost's fingers pressed down on this jade block.

  On the calm jade disc, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth, shining hundreds of times brighter than before!

  Sitting next to him, Gui Li almost simultaneously had a kind of illusion, as if the outside world suddenly slowed down in an instant, and the stone room he was in also became seemingly hundreds or thousands of times more spacious than his impression. He was like an ant, facing an endless unknown world.

  This strange illusion passed in the blink of an eye, but it had already made Gu Lian's palms sweat profusely. However, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. As soon as he came back to his senses, his first reaction was to look at the jade plate. The jade plate in front of him was emitting a dazzling light that grew brighter and brighter. From within the brilliance, there were faint "popping" sounds coming out continuously. It seemed that Gu Lian's fingers had destroyed the sliding tracks of the jade pieces on the plate, causing more and more jade pieces to collide with each other.

  As the slapping sound grew louder, the rays of light emitted by the jade plate became increasingly dazzling, and in an instant, they filled the entire ice stone chamber. Ghost Li was even unable to see the figure of Mr. Gui opposite him. In the face of this sudden mysterious radiance, he felt both astonished and delighted.

  Dazzling light continued to intensify, as if a small sun had fallen into the stone chamber. However, Gui Li did not feel any scorching heat, but instead, amidst the myriad lights, there was an unknown time when another low and subtle sound appeared, like an incantation, a low hum, like the wind whistling through the deep mountains, or the calls of birds in a secluded valley.

  Suddenly, at this tense and eerie moment, Gui Li's chest felt a sudden heavy heartbeat, his whole body shook, as if the flow of blood in his veins had stopped for a moment, and he was dizzy, almost fainting.

  The ghost was shocked, and before he could react, in the midst of that dazzling light and mysterious incantation, his palms, soles, dantian, and baihui all shook simultaneously. These were the most sensitive convergence points of his body's qi meridians. At the same time, his entire body's qi and blood churned, causing a sharp pain like being cut by a knife. Even with his toughness, he couldn't help but let out a stifled groan filled with suffering.

  In front of him, with his back to the light, Mr. Gui seemed to have sensed something and asked: "What?"

  His voice was calm and unruffled, yet it seemed to have no effect on him. Guī Lì's heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He had never encountered such a situation before. If what he said was true, that the "Blood-Drinking Bead" was counterattacking with its demonic power, then it was clearly different from the previous times it had flared up. Moreover, since he had practiced the fourth volume of the "Tian Shu", the Blood-Drinking Bead's demonic power had been fully absorbed and had not erupted again. And yet, at this moment, the Blood-Drinking Bead in his pocket was quietly lying still, not moving at all.

  It was just a fleeting thought in his mind, but the pain on his body was increasing without any decrease. After a moment, the blood vessels all over his body were shaking even more violently, almost to the point of convulsions, and his limbs were gradually becoming numb. The vibrations that had previously spread throughout his body, such as those in his palms and dantian, suddenly moved rapidly from all sides, converging on Ghost Venerable's brow and forehead.

  The strange change was so fast that it was beyond human imagination. Gui Li's whole body shook violently, fortunately at this moment there was a dazzling light blocking the view, so Mr. Gui didn't know what had happened to him. But with Mr. Gui's cultivation, he already felt that something big had changed in Gui Li, and in the dim, hard, and shaking light, Mr. Gui's black shadow seemed to have suddenly stood up.

  Kui Lie only felt his whole body was in agony, as if being cut by a knife, yet he had no idea what was happening to him. Just at that moment of pain, the shock from all over his body converged on the center of his forehead, and in an instant, Kui Lie seemed to hear a loud cracking sound coming from the top of his skull, like an explosion, which blew open the center of his eyebrows.

  A dazzling beam of light, like a sharp dagger, was thrust into his forehead, piercing through his skull!

  At that moment, Gui Li only felt dizzy and almost lost his consciousness, but he had always been strong-willed and resilient. Over the years, he had developed an unyielding spirit, and he managed to pull through with great effort. As soon as he caught his breath amidst the pain, he realized that his head was still intact, without the explosion he had imagined. But the illusion from just now was so real, it was terrifying!

  Just then, Mr. Gui's voice suddenly came: "What's wrong with you?"

  As Mr. Gui's words came, Gui Li suddenly felt a relaxation all over his body, that strange pressure retreated like a tide, and the brilliant light in the ice stone room also quickly dimmed. He took a deep breath, calmed down, looked forward, and saw that Mr. Gui had stood up at some point, looking towards him, and his hand had naturally left the jade plate.

  The jade blocks on the jade plate zhōng yāng all returned to their original orbits and slid along, and the jade plate also returned to its original state. Gui Li was silent for a moment under the gaze of Gui Xiansheng, then slowly regained his composure, saying faintly: "Nothing, the light was just too dazzling earlier, I just raised my hand to block it."

  Mr. Gui was taken aback, furrowed his brow, and thought that his Taoist skills were not inferior to Gui Lie's, so he naturally wouldn't believe that Gui Lie would still be afraid of the nonsense about being dazzled by white light. However, looking at Gui Lie's expression, it seemed that he hadn't gotten the message, so Mr. Gui hummed for a moment before sitting back down again.

  Guili looked at him and said: "How about it, do you understand this universe...this star plate? Can you cast a spell?"

  Mr. Gui nodded, but his face seemed a bit strange, just as he was about to speak, suddenly at this moment, both Gui Li and Mr. Gui's faces changed color, feeling something.

  The next moment, the entire ice stone chamber shook violently, and then a strange and intense bloody smell suddenly burst out, filling all places. The hard stone walls around "cracked" with a startling crisp sound, and the original cracks suddenly expanded again. Countless large and small stones fell from the stone walls.

  The ground shook more and more violently, perhaps because the cracks in the walls grew larger, and the soundproofing effect of the ice stone chamber was greatly reduced. Faintly, a desperate and frantic cry could be heard from afar, and in the midst of the bloody smell, both Ghost Gentleman and Ghost Cruel changed their faces once again.

  The mysterious and eerie power that had been quiet for ten days suddenly awakened again at this moment, causing the surrounding stone walls and ground to shake more and more violently. This time, it seemed that the eerie power was particularly fierce, showing no signs of stopping. Gui Li took a swift step to the side of the Ice Stone Platform, guarding Bi Yao's body, while Gui Xiong looked around, his brow furrowed in thought, not saying a word, seemingly pondering something, with a hint of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

  Distant roars and screams rose and fell, it seemed that the outside had fallen back into the previous fear and madness, the cracks on the wall were still slowly expanding, the falling rocks shook the ground incessantly, making it even more shocking.

  "Boom!"

  Suddenly a loud noise came from the stone gate at the entrance of the stone chamber, and a huge boulder was shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground. Amidst the flying debris, a figure swiftly darted in, with an anxious expression on his face - it was Gui Wang.

  The Demon King stepped into the stone chamber and looked up at the stone platform, only to see Gui Li already guarding Bi Yao's side. Although the ground was shaking violently and rocks were constantly falling from above, Gui Li's movements sent all the rocks that fell within the range of the icy stone platform flying outwards.

  The Demon King let out a sigh of relief, but his face didn't relax, and he immediately turned his gaze to see that Mr. Gui was also on the other side of the stone room, and couldn't help but frown, saying: "What are you doing here? Why haven't you gone...?"

  The conversation was cut off halfway, and the Ghost King suddenly stopped talking. However, Mr. Gui seemed to understand, nodded his head, and moved his body as if he was about to leave. But then he suddenly remembered something, turned his gaze to the ground, and saw that mysterious jade disc lying quietly on the ground. Mr. Gui took a step towards the jade disc, but suddenly felt a sharp and icy gaze behind him. He slowly turned his head back, only to see Ghost Ji casually tossing aside a large rock that had fallen from above, his eyes fixed intently on him.

  The ghostly gentleman fell silent for a moment, and then retreated from the stone chamber. His dark figure flashed several times like a specter, and soon disappeared from view.

  In the stone room, only Gui Li and Gui Wang were left. Gui Wang glanced at the jade plate on the ground, looked at Gui Li, remained silent for a moment, then sighed lightly. Regardless of why Mr. Gui was here, Gui Li brought the jade plate to this icy stone room, naturally hoping to save Bi Yao. Now, it's clear that Bi Yao hasn't shown any signs of improvement without even asking.

  The Demon King quietly walked to the other side of the Frost Ice Stone Stage, just as a boulder above his head finally fell off due to the intense vibrations. The Demon King lightly waved his hand and the boulder flew out at an angle in mid-air, crashing into the nearby stone wall with a loud "Boom" and shattering into powder.

  The demon king glanced at the ghost king, but didn't say a word. The two men stood silently beside the quietly sleeping woman, patiently and thoroughly guarding her. Bi Yao's face still had a faint smile on it, perhaps in her heart, there was some happiness too!

  Another half a cup of tea passed, but this strange earthquake still showed no signs of stopping. On the contrary, that mysterious power with a strong bloody aura was galloping underground, and both Gui Wang and Gui Li's cultivation were extremely high, they clearly felt that this power was not an ordinary earthquake, but a spiritual one, like a giant beast trapped, raging and roaring to break free from its shackles and chains, regardless of destroying the heavens and earth.

  Outside the stone chamber, because the stone gate was shattered by the Ghost King, the distant crazy howls and increasingly frequent screams from the Ghost King's sect disciples grew louder and more ear-piercing. The Ghost King's face gradually showed some annoyance, with anger slowly rising to the surface. Gu Lian stood beside him, sensing a change in the Ghost King's mood, and glanced at him, but was shocked in his heart.

  The only thing that could be seen was the Ghost King's face, with his muscles slightly twisted, looking somewhat ferocious and completely different from his usual calm demeanor. And in his eyes, a strange layer of dark red color suddenly floated up, like a faint red mist flowing in his eye sockets.

  The demon's heart skipped a beat, and the Demon King happened to look over at the same time. The two locked eyes, and the Demon King suddenly let out a cold laugh, his voice icy and detached: "What are you looking at?"

  The ghost met his gaze without flinching and said in an equally indifferent tone: "Nothing."

  The Demon King's gaze condensed, and a chill ran through his eyes as he stared at the Ghostly General. The atmosphere between them, which had been relatively relaxed, suddenly became tense again. However, just then, after a violent shockwave, both of them simultaneously felt the mysterious power beneath their feet suddenly dissipate.

  As expected, the tremors on the ground and the surrounding stone walls stopped quickly, and the falling rocks finally ceased. The eerie bloody smell in the air also dissipated quietly. Gui Li let out a soft sigh and looked towards the Ice Stone Platform, where he saw Bi Yao lying there safely, smiling softly as she slept soundly.

  Then, Gui Li turned his head to look at Gui Wang, but only saw Gui Wang silently staring at Bi Yao. The anger and the faint killing intent on his face had quietly disappeared. Perhaps in this world, only when gazing at this unique beloved daughter could make Gui Wang wake up from his anger and calm down.

  The Demon King gazed at Bi Yao for a while, his eyes filled with affectionate colors, before slowly shifting his gaze away and saying in a low voice: "Take good care of her."

  The ghost nodded and said, "I will."

  The King of Ghosts turned around and walked out in big strides, soon disappearing from view. Guī Lì stood for a while, his eyes scanning the ground out of the corner of his eye, but all he saw was that jade plate still lying on the ground. Just now, rocks had been falling everywhere, yet strangely, not one stone had hit this jade plate.

  The ghost walked past, picked up the jade plate from the ground, examined it carefully for a while, took out a black cloth package from his pocket and wrapped it again, then put it back in his pocket. Outside the stone room, the distant howling sound also gradually subsided at this moment, but after the disaster, the noise still rose and fell, obviously many people had not woken up from their previous fear.

  The demon's eyebrows furrowed, his gaze slowly falling onto the surrounding ravaged landscape. After this intense destruction, the originally cracked stone chamber was now even more battered and bruised. Unlike before, not only were the four walls severely damaged, but this time even the ground beneath their feet had begun to show large cracks, with some areas being torn apart to form a rather deep pit.

  The ice stone chamber was severely damaged, and the outside corridors and the places where the disciples of the Ghost King Sect were located were even more terrifying. The mournful cries kept coming from afar, as if to provide the best annotation for this scene.

  The ghost's gaze gradually became sharper, and he walked to a gap in the stone wall, silently but carefully looking at it. Then, with his eyebrows tightly locked, he stretched out one hand and searched up and down the rough gap, and small stones fell down as his palm moved, bouncing on the ground several times before rolling into the corner. The ghost slowly withdrew his arm, then made a strange gesture, placing his palm in front of his nose and sniffing gently, as if smelling something unusual.

  His eyes became even sharper and brighter.

  This strange power appeared twice after he returned to Hu Xi Mountain, but both times coincided with his use of the Qian Kun Wheel to heal Bi Yao. To say that there was no connection would be impossible, and since it involved his most important task of healing Bi Yao, he could no longer remain uninvolved.

  Deep within the cave, a blood pool.

  The violent and mysterious power of the Four Spirits Blood Array has calmed down, although a strong bloody smell still lingers in the air above the blood pool, but the light ring emitted from the Fulong Cauldron no longer fluctuates greatly.

  Mr. Gui stood alone on the platform, his head raised to gaze at the Fulong Cauldron suspended in mid-air, and amidst the flashing red light, his eyes were fixed tightly on the white light pillar between the devil's eyebrows on the ancient cauldron.

  That white-colored, sharp and bright light pillar was more dazzling than what he had seen before, its diameter seemingly thicker by a circle. As it rose, the devil's face became even more distorted, the originally almost completely red blood vessels being forced back to the lower half, not to mention that at this moment, even that bit of crimson color seemed to have faded away, giving off an unstable feeling.

  Just Mr. Gui looked at this ominous situation, but his eyes no longer had the anxiety and urgency of before, instead, there was more joy, after a while, he suddenly chuckled and said in a low voice: "Indeed, indeed it has something to do with that star chart..."

  He shifted his body and walked forward, stopping only when he reached the end of the platform. He then leaned out to look down at the blood pool below, where he saw four massive spiritual beasts soaking in the bloody water. They all looked listless and exhausted, clearly having had their true primordial spiritual energy completely drained by the strange Four Spiritual Blood Formation set up by Mr. Gui.

  Above the Fulong Cauldron, the spiritual energy was exceptionally abundant, transforming into a red light that flew around the cauldron without stopping. The cauldron itself also flashed with light, as if responding to these spirits. However, at the most critical juncture, the demonic face on the throat blocked the flow of energy, preventing the surrounding spiritual energy from entering the Fulong Cauldron and making it difficult for the Blood Array to form.

  Mr. Gui looked at the strange phenomenon, and his eyes narrowed slightly behind the black veil, revealing a thoughtful expression. He clasped his hands together, unconsciously tapping them lightly, apparently thinking about something in his mind.

  It was at this moment that a sudden sound of clothes tearing through the air came from behind the Blood Pool platform. Mr. Gui immediately felt it, turned around, and saw King Gui walking over with a gloomy face.

  Walking up to him, the Ghost King didn't bother with pleasantries and directly asked Mr. Gui: "What's going on? How did the Blood Array's spiritual energy lose control so severely?"

  The ghostly gentleman slowly looked up at the light-colored blade on top of the Fowlong Ding and said calmly, "This time's unusual earthquake is the power of the four spirits' blood array itself, which has a spiritual aura that can break free from the divine law of the Kun Lock. With great effort, it struggled to break free, and in the process, it also triggered the fierce blood energy here and the giant beast spirit energy absorbed by the blood array. The three forces erupted, resulting in this earth-shaking momentum."

  The Demon King snorted and looked up at the top of his head, saying: "You talk big, but in the end you still can't even handle a small beam of light."

  "Master Ghost said calmly: 'If the ancient divine law's seal was this easy to remove, it wouldn't be an ancient divine law.'"

  "Jade Dynasty 25th Volume Chapter 3: Star Disk Completion Xiao Ding"

  The Demon King's face flashed with anger and he coldly said, "I don't want to hear all that, do you have a way to remove this damn Heaven and Earth Lock or not?"

  Mr. Gui was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled in a low voice and said: "Originally it was very tricky, but now," he slowly raised his head to look at the Ghost King and said: "there is a way."

  The Demon King was shocked and exclaimed: "What? You've found a way?"

  The ghostly gentleman nodded slowly, but did not directly say what method it was. Instead, he turned his body around and looked up at the ancient-looking Fulong Cauldron floating in mid-air. After gazing for a while, he said softly: "You can endure for a little while longer, your time of emergence is not far off..."

  In mid-air, the red mang on top of the Fulong cauldron flickered non-stop, as if it also had a spirit, silently watching the people below.

  Inside the Ghost King Sect's cave, everything was in disarray. This earthquake was much stronger than before, and that strange, mysterious power seemed even more terrifying. More than a dozen disciples of the Ghost King Sect went mad at the same time. Although these crazed disciples were eventually killed by the surrounding crowd, the number of casualties was also over several dozen. What's more, whether they had gone mad or died in battle, all those who died were companions who had stood alongside everyone just moments before. Many people had still been fighting side by side or chatting with each other just a moment ago, only to become mortal enemies the next.
