Even though that era had become a legend, even after hundreds or thousands of years, the four words “land immortals” still carried a very powerful deterrent force.

At this moment, the imperial city of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City appeared before everyone, causing unease in their hearts.

“How could this be…”

A powerful individual stared at the imperial city, not knowing why they had ended up in this place.

This situation was too strange, leaving everyone somewhat puzzled.

Li Hengsheng and the other younger generation were also looking at the imperial city, their hearts filled with emotions. The oppressive aura of the imperial city filled the air, instilling a sense of awe in them, even an impulse to kneel and worship. Perhaps they would never forget this scene in their lifetime.

Everyone was somewhat panicked.

At this moment, they looked behind them, where there were still endless buildings and unfamiliar ancient roads.

They didn’t know how far they were from the entrance of the Ghost Devil. Now they were completely trapped in a very dangerous situation.

An inexplicable danger!

All the powerful individuals slowly drew their weapons, on guard. No one knew what would happen next, perhaps they would have to face a very difficult battle.

“Be careful, we might have fallen into a trap.” Yan Zhentao from the Medical King Valley looked around and said.

“This is the time for all our sects to unite, otherwise we might not be able to get out. Everyone, stick together, don’t scatter.” Yu Fengxian also said loudly.

“I have no objections.” The expert from the Gate of No Return was the first to speak.

“We have no objections either.” Mo Hang from the Snow Eagle Palace also quickly spoke, instructing the disciples of the Snow Eagle Palace to gather in the middle.

“I agree…” Someone from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land also spoke.

Li Changqing also agreed on behalf of the Zhanhe Residence.

For a moment, all the sects agreed to unite at this time.

Even if there were grudges between them, they had to put aside their differences and deal with the current situation first.

“There are traces of a formation around us, it seems we were teleported here by someone using a teleportation formation.”

At this moment, Lu Hanyan from the Guanglan Palace stepped forward.

“A formation?”

“We didn’t find any formations at our previous location.” Li Jinsong came out and said, “I checked before, and besides, the Sky-Overturning Ghost City has been abandoned for so many years, even if there were remnants of ancient formations, they couldn’t be activated so easily.”

“We didn’t notice any enemies approaching.”

People from other sects also nodded, they had never noticed any strangers approaching.

Otherwise, with so many Grandmaster-level experts present, how could no one have noticed?

“If it’s not an outsider, then it must be one of us.” Lu Hanyan’s voice was calm as her sharp gaze swept over everyone present: “This can only mean one thing, someone among us has ulterior motives and did this. They might even have reached some agreement with the Ghost Clan.”

Upon hearing this, everyone became serious.

They looked at the people from other sects around them, suspicion and doubt in their eyes.

Just a moment ago they were talking about uniting, but Lu Hanyan’s words had broken their defense.

“Miss Hanyan, you can’t just say things like that.” Yuan Wudi from the Great Yuan Dynasty stepped forward and snorted coldly: “If you say such things without evidence, won’t it affect our unity? Now is not the time for us to suspect each other.”

“Can you think of another reason?” Lu Hanyan retorted.

“I agree with Miss Hanyan’s idea.”

At this time, Zhang Yuanzhi from the North Cold Country said: “Apart from this reason, there really is no other explanation for this matter. However, Miss Hanyan, what we should do now is not to find out who did it, but to think about how to get back.”

“It’s simple, as long as we reactivate the formation in reverse, we can go back.” Lu Hanyan looked around: “I have some knowledge of formations, it’s not difficult to reactivate the formation. There are still traces of the formation around, but to reactivate it, we need at least six hours.”

“Because this ancient formation has been dormant for too long, it can’t be activated continuously.”

Six hours?

That’s a long time.

“Then we’ll have to trouble Miss Hanyan.” Yan Zhentao nodded: “Then we’ll hold on here for six hours. So far, we haven’t found anything. As long as we don’t enter the imperial city, there should be no problem.”

No one wanted to go in.

“Everyone, let’s wait quietly.”

“Okay!”

Just as someone agreed, a gloomy aura suddenly descended!

The next moment, a cacophony filled the world, making people’s hair stand on end. Everyone’s faces changed on the spot, the sound was like an army of thousands charging towards them.

“Enemies!” A powerful individual roared.

Boom!

The entire ground began to tremble violently.

An ancient, dusty feeling was suddenly awakened, and the eight city gates of the huge imperial city, which hadn’t been opened for countless eras and were covered in vines, were all opened at this moment.

The vines on the city walls were torn apart as if by a powerful force from inside. The sound of the heavy city gates scraping against the ground sent vibrations through the air, dust flying and sand swirling.

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the city gates. They could feel an astonishing ghostly aura emanating from inside!

The Ghost Clan!

And there were so many of them!

“Prepare for battle!”

A furious voice rang out.

All the disciples took up their weapons. They weren’t particularly afraid, they had already killed countless Ghost Clan members these days!

Facing the Ghost Clan again, they would just kill them.

What was there to be afraid of?

“Fourth Brother, be careful later, stay by my side, don’t run around. I have a feeling that this situation is not simple.” Zhou Jun came to Li Hengsheng’s side, his eyes also filled with determination.”Brother Li, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Li Hengsheng’s Chasing Immortal Spear was already polished and ready for another bloody battle.

“Li Hengsheng.”

Nan Haofei walked over, his gaze towards Li Hengsheng was filled with complex emotions. During these days of battle, Nan Haofei had been tirelessly slaying members of the Ghost Clan. However, on the last day, he found that his merit points were thirty thousand less than Li Hengsheng’s!

This was something Nan Haofei had not expected, so he had no choice but to admit defeat and even told Li Hengsheng that he would go to the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters to fetch water after they returned.

Li Hengsheng was both amused and exasperated. He had long forgotten about this bet, but since Nan Haofei wanted to fetch water, he let him do so.

At this moment, Nan Haofei spoke up: “Our competition isn’t over yet. There are so many Ghost Clan members here, maybe I can still turn the tables!”

“You want to catch up with Brother Li’s merit points? Unless all the Ghost Clan members here are killed by you alone.” Hearing this, Yan Yuyun, who was standing by, couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

“Maybe a miracle will happen.” Nan Haofei was still somewhat unconvinced.

“Whatever, if you want to compete, we can continue.” Li Hengsheng laughed.

“Boom!”

With a loud noise, the city gate was broken open.

Countless Ghost Clan members rushed out from the city gate, so many that they couldn’t see the end. It was a sight that made one’s scalp numb!

All the disciples present were dumbfounded. They knew there were many Ghost Clan members, but this number was just too much!

Especially among these Ghost Clan members, many of them had a very strong cultivation aura, far surpassing the peak of the Postnatal Realm!

They had entered the Prenatal Realm!

“So many Prenatal Realm!” Many experts were also somewhat surprised at this moment. They had never expected that there would be so many Prenatal Realm members appearing here today, after only a few had appeared in the previous twelve days. Just a rough scan revealed hundreds of them!

Facing such a large army, the few thousand humans were simply insignificant.

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but shudder.

This was going to be a bloody battle!

“Everyone, retreat!”

At this moment, Lu Hanyan stepped forward. Facing the countless Ghost Clan members charging towards them, a scroll suddenly appeared in Lu Hanyan’s hand!

The scroll flew out in an instant, and as it opened in mid-air, it depicted a galaxy!

“Hundred Screens Star Sea Painting!”

Seeing this scroll, many people recognized it. It was a very famous Painting Treasure.

With a hum.

The Hundred Screens Star Sea Painting instantly sprinkled down starlight, which fell to the ground like countless falling meteors.

At the same time, a star curtain was instantly pulled up between the many stars!

The star curtain spanned hundreds of meters around.

It enveloped everyone, forming a huge barrier.

At this moment, the charging Ghost Clan members roared and charged over, but they hit the star curtain with a dull sound!

No matter how hard they tried to attack the star curtain with their weapons, the star curtain remained as steady as a rock, and they couldn’t get in.

This made everyone’s eyes light up!

Such a treasure actually kept all the ghosts out.

All the disciples also breathed a sigh of relief. They had just seen so many Ghost Clan members charging over, which was indeed very troublesome, but with this thing blocking them, it seemed they were safe for the time being.

“That’s great, Fairy Hanyan, with your Painting Treasure, these Ghost Clan members can’t get in.” Yan Zhentao said with surprise.

“You’re oversimplifying things.”

Lu Hanyan snorted coldly: “My Hundred Screens Star Sea Painting, when expanded to this size, can only block some weak Ghost Clan members. If a slightly stronger Ghost Clan member comes over, the Hundred Screens Star Sea Painting won’t be able to stop them.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

At this moment, several Ghost Clan members who had reached the Prenatal Realm rushed in.

“All disciples, retreat.” At this moment, all the experts understood that it was their war today.

The disciples present quickly retreated. These Ghost Clan members were no longer something they could handle.

“Kill!”

These Ghost Clan members didn’t care at all that there were many human experts. They all rushed towards the human experts with red eyes, as if they had lost their minds.

Moreover, more and more experts who could cross the barrier were coming!

Prenatal Realm.

Complete Prenatal Realm.

Even Grandmasters at the peak of the Prenatal Realm were present.

Now, all the human experts had to take action.

For a moment, everyone was fighting to exterminate the enemy, and the scene immediately plunged into a great melee.

Lu Hanyan was controlling the Hundred Screens Star Sea Painting and did not take action, while the experts from the other sects all entered the battle.

They knew that the Prenatal True Essence was limited, so they didn’t waste time. When they made a move, it was a killing move!

Under Xue Qianbai’s Thousand Snow Sword, a Ghost Clan Grandmaster was killed in two strokes.

Wu Wenying, the silent expert, was not weak at all. His Ten Thousand Beast Fist was fierce and mimicked the forms of countless beasts. A Ghost Clan Grandmaster couldn’t last seven rounds against him and was killed on the spot by Wu Wenying.

Li Jinsong’s Silk River Painting was also spreading across the sky. Many Ghost Clan members in the Prenatal Realm fell into the river and were eventually killed by Li Jinsong’s water soldiers.

At this moment, everyone was showing their true abilities.

It was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their own magical powers. The scene was so dazzling that everyone had never seen such a fierce battle in their lives.

Even Yan Zhentao from the Medical King Valley was fighting with a long knife, causing a great commotion.

The weak Ghost Clan members couldn’t get in, and the powerful ones who got in were no match for the human experts.

These Ghost Clan members had been sealed here for hundreds of years. Although their cultivation was still there, they had weakened. How could they compare with the human experts at their peak?

Not to mention there were top experts like Xue Qianbai in the Grandmaster Realm.

All the disciples were hiding in the back, fearing that the aftermath of the battle would affect them. They were too weak to resist.

Li Changqing did not make a move, but stood in front of his many disciples, especially in front of Li Hengsheng.

He had to ensure his son’s safety.

Moreover, he didn’t need to intervene. The battle in front of him seemed fierce, but the human race was overwhelmingly dominant, so there was no need to worry.

The powerful warriors who had broken into the star curtain were endless. Gradually, the human race was also plunged into a bitter battle.

The power of Xue Qianbai’s Thousand Snow Sword was astonishing. There were six Grandmaster-level Ghost Clan members who had died by his hand alone!

As for the Ghost Clan members outside who had not reached the Prenatal Realm, their numbers seemed endless.

It was a sight of despair.

Fortunately, they couldn’t get in. If things continued this way, there was nothing to worry about.

“Puff!”

With a single stroke, Xue Qianbai beheaded a Ghost Clan member.

The Ghost Clan members who had broken in were almost wiped out. The human warriors were panting heavily. Although the Ghost Clan members were not very strong, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.

The human warriors had also suffered several losses, but fortunately, they were all in the Postnatal Realm. The Grandmaster-level combat power was still preserved.

However, who knew if there would be other powerful beings coming after them.

“Good morning, everyone.”

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly pierced through.

The voice was somewhat immature, but it was very loud.

Everyone was stunned. With the appearance of this voice, even the countless Ghost Clan armies outside had calmed down, no longer attacking the star curtain.

Following the voice, they were surprised to find two figures on the city wall of the imperial city.

The two figures, one tall and one short, the taller one was recognized by Li Changqing.

It was Zhao Juezong, who had previously escaped from his hands.

The other person was cloaked in black.

He also recognized him. The black-cloaked figure was the one who had appeared in the forbidden area before, trying to kill his son. He was also with Zhao Juezong at the time, Li Changqing remembered.

The one who had just spoken was the black-cloaked figure.

“Who are you?”

Zhang Yuanzhi stepped forward, looking at the two.

He could tell that Zhao Juezong was a Grandmaster, but the aura of the black-cloaked figure was strange, and he couldn’t figure it out for a moment.

He didn’t seem to be from the Ghost Clan.

Xue Qianbai and others were also staring at the black-cloaked figure, trying to discern something from him, but he was well concealed, and even his face was not visible.

“Ladies and Gentlemen.”

The black-cloaked figure said with a smile, “Welcome to the imperial city of the Sky-Overturning Ghost City. You are all fortunate to die here, to be buried in this Ghost City, and even more fortunate to become the nourishment collected by our Longevity Sect.”

Longevity Sect!

Upon hearing this name, the faces of all the human warriors changed.

They had all heard of the Longevity Sect, more or less, because the activities of the Longevity Sect had been rampant recently.

Every sect had suffered from the Longevity Sect, or had investigated information related to the Longevity Sect.

But they had never really faced the Longevity Sect.

Now, the person who appeared in front of them claimed to be from the Longevity Sect and wanted them to die here. It seemed that the Longevity Sect had set up a shocking conspiracy here.

“How did your Longevity Sect get in?” Zhang Yuanzhi asked coldly, “Only Tianhai City should be able to open the entrance.”

“If the Longevity Sect wants to come in, naturally there is a way, because our Longevity Sect is omnipotent. Not to mention this little Ghost Devil, even if it’s the city lord’s mansion of Tianhai City, our Longevity Sect can come and go freely.” The black-cloaked figure said indifferently.

“You’re overestimating yourself!” Zhang Yuanzhi snorted coldly.

“Alright, that’s enough talk.” The black-cloaked figure said, “There’s no need to waste words with a bunch of dead people.”

“Hmph, you want to kill all of us? Just by you?” Yuan Wudi said disdainfully.

“You’re talking big!” Yan Zhentao stepped forward, glaring at the two, “Is it by you, or by the Grandmaster next to you?”

“Tsk tsk, I don’t have that ability.” The black-cloaked figure chuckled, “Of course it’s by the thousands of Ghost Clan members here. You should understand the saying ‘ants can bite an elephant to death’.”

“That’s even more ridiculous.”

Yan Zhentao laughed, “These Ghost Clan members can’t even get in. As long as we can return to where we were, we can naturally leave when the Ghost Devil opens. And you Ghost Clan scum will be sealed in this Ghost Devil again!”

“Want to go back? Is that really possible?” Zhao Juezong also spoke, “I’m afraid you don’t have that much time.”

“Really?”

At this moment, Yan Zhentao came to Lu Hanyan’s side and asked, “Fairy Hanyan, you said that this formation needs six hours to start. Can your star curtain hold up for six hours?”

“Don’t worry, these Ghost Clan members who haven’t even reached the Prenatal Realm, I can hold them off for twelve hours.” Lu Hanyan confidently stated.

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as these Postnatal Realm Ghost Clan members didn’t rush in, it would be fine.

With so many Ghost Clan members, if they all rushed in, it would really be troublesome.

They couldn’t attack the Postnatal Realm Ghost Clan members, and with such a large number, the disciples had no chance of winning.

It could be said that there was no suspense about their total annihilation.

So when Lu Hanyan said she could hold them off for twelve hours without a problem, everyone was relieved.

“Did you hear that? After six hours, we will leave. Your Longevity Sect has no chance.” Yuan Wudi laughed and looked at the black-cloaked figure, “I don’t know what your Longevity Sect is up to, but it’s clear that your plot has failed.”

“Oh?”

The black-cloaked figure was still unhurried.

“This thing can hold up for twelve hours, huh? That’s a bit troublesome.”

“Well, there’s nothing we can do then.”The Black Cloaked Figure drawled lazily, “Isn’t it true that if we get rid of Fairy Hanyan, this Painting Treasure will naturally become useless?”

At these words, Lu Hanyan let out a cold laugh, “Just by you?”

Pfft!

The moment her words fell!

Lu Hanyan’s face changed drastically on the spot!

A knife had unexpectedly pierced out from her chest!

Not only Lu Hanyan, but all the people present were also taken aback at this moment.

The knife had directly penetrated Lu Hanyan.

“Master!”

Lu Shiran was also greatly shocked when she saw this scene.

No one dared to believe the scene before their eyes. Lu Hanyan struggled to look back at the person who had stabbed her from behind.

It was actually Yan Zhentao!

Some people die, but they are not completely dead…
