You Are Truly Good to Your Family

"The ghosts and gods are coming right now, run!" an Immortal King exclaimed in terror.

"Split up! We'll have a higher chance of surviving!"

"No!" Xu Qingyun and Tiandu Immortal King shouted at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's thoughts.

"Hall Master Xu, the only plan for now is for us to put aside our past grievances and join forces. Only then will we have a glimmer of survival," Tiandu Immortal King said rapidly.

Xu Qingyun nodded. "That is correct, Daoist Tiandu. Now is not the time for infighting. No matter what enmity exists between us, it is ultimately a grudge between the living. The ghosts and gods are a great enemy to everyone. I am willing to join hands!"

The two instantly set the tone.

In reality, their thoughts were indeed aligned, but not in the way they claimed. Their true intention was to bring the cannon fodder along with them.

After all, they were the only two late-stage Immortal King experts present. At a critical moment, they could use their teammates as cannon fodder to cover their own escape.

Just as the two reached a consensus, the ghostly aura in the air suddenly began to thicken.

An unusual movement occurred between heaven and earth, as if a massive army was galloping forth.

Looking into the distance, not far away, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood squirmed like a living creature, surging forward to submerge the ancient mansion.

It was a densely packed army of ghosts and gods, surging over like a tide.

In the sky, dark clouds formed by condensed ghostly aura slowly gathered.

Everyone's expressions changed simultaneously, including Gu Qingfeng's.

However, while the others' expressions turned to panic and terror, Gu Qingfeng was unusually excited.

"Not good, they are here! Let's go!" Xu Qingyun roared, preparing to lead the crowd to flee.

At this moment, the two groups that were previously enemies prepared to work together to overcome the crisis under the threat of the ghosts and gods.

But just as storms gather without warning in nature, misfortune befalls men overnight. Things rarely go so smoothly.

"Jiejiejie... Want to leave? Have you asked This Emperor?"

A terrifying, sinister laugh echoed across the scene. The crowd only saw a demonic shadow flash by, blocking their path forward.

"Gu Qingfeng! What exactly do you want to do!"

"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

"Daoist Gu, the situation is urgent! You absolutely must not act on impulse!"

"All of you shut the hell up! Today, if you don't give This Emperor's family an explanation, every single one of you will be held accountable. No one is allowed to leave!" Gu Qingfeng sneered viciously.

The crowd was completely speechless.

An explanation!? Your family member was just killed by you, and you're asking us for an explanation!?

Xu Qingyun said anxiously, "Immortal King Chongming died by your hands, why are you stopping us?"

"Bullshit! If you hadn't heavily injured him, could This Emperor have killed him so easily?"

The Immortal Kings of the Immortal King Hall: "..."

"And you lot!" Gu Qingfeng turned his spearhead toward the Immortal Kings of the Sixth Star Ruins.

"Immortal King Chongming abandoned his wife and children to travel across the oceans with you, yet you couldn't protect him. You all deserve to die too!"

The Immortal Kings of the Sixth Star Ruins: "..."

They no longer knew what to say, because Gu Qingfeng's words were simply beyond reason.

When someone twists logic to such an extent, what is the use of saying anything?

Just as you can never wake a person who is pretending to sleep, you can never win an argument against an unreasonable person.

"You living beings actually dare to trespass into the Yellow Springs Ghost City!"

Suddenly, an incomparably cold and eerie voice echoed through the heavens and the earth.

The dense ghostly aura covered the firmament, and in an instant, it was as if night had fallen.

For a time, the sky grew dim and the earth dark. Black ghostly mist wreaked havoc across the vast sky, just like the apocalypse.

And within that boundless darkness, countless ferocious ghosts and gods were surging and roaring, densely packed and blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The roars of the ghosts and gods became the only sound in the world.

The Immortal Kings' expressions instantly changed wildly, their faces turning the color of dead ashes.

"It's over! It's all over now!" someone despaired.

Others glared furiously at Gu Qingfeng. "This is all because of you!"

By this time, the ancient mansion had been thoroughly surrounded by the surging ghosts and gods.

However, after surrounding them, the ghosts and gods did not attack immediately, but seemed to be waiting for something.

A moment later, the army of ghosts and gods forcibly parted to create a path, and at the end of the path, a large red bridal sedan chair was revealed.

It was exactly the same as the large red bridal sedan chairs used by mortals when they married.

Except that the shade of red was blindingly piercing. Amidst the ink-black ghostly aura, it was extremely abrupt, presenting an eerie blood-like color.

The large red sedan chair had a door curtain, making it impossible to see the situation inside. The ones carrying the sedan chair were astonishingly four paper dolls, eerily pale with blood-like rouge smeared on their cheeks—two males and two females.

And beside the large red sedan chair followed an elderly man who looked like an old servant.

He had gray hair, wore paper burial clothes, and had a black hat on his head. His hands continuously tied paper dolls, making him look like a Paper-Tying Craftsman.

The moment they saw the elderly Paper-Tying Craftsman, the pupils of the Immortal Kings instantly contracted, and their hairs stood on end.

"It's the Paper-Tying Craftsman! Even a ghost and god of this level has been alarmed!"

"It's over! Legend has it that the Paper-Tying Craftsman possesses strength comparable to a peak Immortal King. We are dead for sure this time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces instantly turned a deadly ashen color.

At this time, someone else said tremblingly, "What kind of existence is inside that large red sedan chair, to actually make the Paper-Tying Craftsman stand by its side in the posture of a servant!"

"Could it be... that legendary taboo existence!?"

Tap, tap, tap...

The paper dolls carried the sedan chair and walked over slowly. The Paper-Tying Craftsman followed closely step by step, slowly coming to a stop in front of the ancient mansion.

The crowd's terrified or anxious gazes were all focused on them.

"Everyone, you have trespassed into the Yellow Springs Ghost City and disturbed my Master. What should be your punishment?" the Paper-Tying Craftsman spoke indifferently.

His tone was extremely flat, just like an ordinary mortal old man.

Yet not a single person dared to ignore his words.

As soon as the word "Master" came out, even those as strong as Xu Qingyun and Tiandu Immortal King broke out in cold sweat, their pupils quaking.

Who could be the existence that the Paper-Tying Craftsman called Master!?

It could only be the taboo existence hidden in the Yellow Springs Ghost City from the legends!

"Oh? Why is no one answering? This old man will count to three. If you still cannot give my Master a satisfactory answer, then all of you shall stay behind." The Paper-Tying Craftsman indifferently swept his gaze over the crowd, his words showing absolutely no regard for the group of Immortal Kings.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. The people from the Immortal King Hall looked at Xu Qingyun, and the people from the Sixth Star Ruins looked at Tiandu Immortal King, seemingly waiting for their respective bosses to come up with a solution.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingyun and Tiandu Immortal King looked at each other, both seemingly wanting the other party to go forward and communicate.

"One."

The Paper-Tying Craftsman counted the first number.

Cold sweat simultaneously broke out on the foreheads of Xu Qingyun and his counterpart.

"Two."

Just as the second number fell, a voice broke the dead silence of the scene.

"Don't say This Emperor didn't give you a chance. This Emperor will only count to three. After three counts, if you cannot give my family an explanation, you all must die!"

Gu Qingfeng said indifferently to the Immortal Kings.

The entire scene once again fell into a dead silence.

Everyone was stunned.

Whether it was the Immortal Kings or the Paper-Tying Craftsman, they were all dumbfounded.

Right now, even a blind man could see what the situation was, and you actually started fucking counting too?! And seeking justice for your family member?

You sure are really good to your family!
