Qi Tian took a step forward and said, "Ying Die."

However, Shang Yingdie just glanced at them and then turned to walk into the tall building, leaving Qi Tian feeling shut out.

Gu Yan laughed heartily and said, "Everyone says you have no chance. Even though you were evenly matched with her, Shang Yingdie has said you're nothing but a second-generation rich kid, not her ideal type."

"Scram."

Qi Tian was not pleased and strode up the steps, trying to catch up with Shang Yingdie.

Gu Yan combed his hair, his handsome face full of smiles, and said, "Maybe the type Shang Yingdie likes is me."

Xia Yuqing coldly said, "You effeminate."

Gu Yan angrily said, "Who are you calling effeminate, you little brat?"

Xia Yuqing ignored Gu Yan and continued on her way.

Gu Yan shrugged, these guys are still the same, thousands of years have passed, and they haven't changed after death.

Gu Yan curiously looked at Chu Hao and said, "People from the later generation, I've heard your era has many fun things, much more exciting than ours."

Chu Hao politely said, "Elder Ghost, you still haven't answered my question just now."

Gu Yan's face darkened, and he instantly didn't want to talk to Chu Hao anymore, turning around to leave.

"Wait a moment! Elder Ghost, I feel it's fate we met, why don't we talk about ancient and modern times, I think we're getting closer to the antiques of ancient times."

Gu Yan's nostrils almost flared with anger, as this guy dared to call him an old relic, and said, "Scram, I don't want to see you."

The stone steps up to the ninetieth level were all very challenging. Someone managed to reach the ninetieth level, and finally couldn't endure any longer, fainting directly, which was quite a pity.

This was just the outside of the Emperor's Three Trials; who knows how much more terrifying the actual Emperor's Three Trials would be and how many more people would be eliminated?

Chu Hao, under pressure, still climbed the stone steps and reached the entrance of the tall building.

He looked down, and the stone steps were indeed very high, making the people below appear insignificantly small.

"Chu Hao."

At this moment, someone called his name. Chu Hao turned around to see a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six, standing with his hands behind his back, also at the top of the stone steps, smiling at him.

Chu Hao asked, "Who are you?"

The man introduced himself, "First son of the Three Truths Sect, Wang Yishu."

The first son of the Three Truths Sect, doesn't that mean this person is the leader of the Three Truths Sect?

Thinking about the deeds of the Three Truths Sect, Chu Hao's expression turned cold and he said, "Do you have any business?"

Wang Yishu said, "It seems like you have a misunderstanding about me. It must be the actions of the people below that have caused you and me to misunderstand me."

Chu Hao said, "I don't think there's any misunderstanding. The Three Truths Sect is one of the strongest Evil Cults within the Yin and Yang Realm circle, doing harmful things doesn't seem strange, otherwise how could it be called an Evil Cult."

Wang Yishu shook his head and said, "I don't care what those people below do, and I also know about you killing Bo Long. As they say, good and evil can't coexist, and the fact that you could kill him is your skill."

Chu Hao was somewhat surprised, what did Wang Yishu mean, wasn't he planning to avenge Bo Long?

Wang Yishu laughed and said, "You're probably wondering if I'm going to avenge Bo Long. Let me tell you, I'm not going to avenge him."

Chu Hao said, "Is there anything else? I'm not interested in chatting with you here."

Wang Yishu said, "Don't rush, don't you think everything here is very strange?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Hao asked.

Wang Yishu looked toward the tall building and said, "Do you also think that this is an opportunity left by the ancients for future generations? Actually, let me tell you, we're all wrong. This isn't arranged by the ancients, but a trap."

Chu Hao said, "What trap?"

Wang Yishu looked into Chu Hao's eyes and seriously said, "This is the Fourth Netherworld Ghost's conspiracy, the Fourth Netherworld Ghost is too terrifying."

The Fourth Netherworld Ghost's conspiracy?

This guy speaks quite interestingly.

"What evidence do you have?" Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh and asked.

Wang Yishu seriously said, "It's a long story. The Three Truths Sect has seven sons, but most people don't know that there are also three real people in the Three Truths Sect. These three real people are the foundation of the Three Truths Sect, and I am one of the three real people."

"In today's era, only we three real people know the process of the war with the Fourth Netherworld Ghost from back then."

Chu Hao curled his lips and said, "Why should I believe you?"

"Whether or not you believe me isn't important, let me finish what I have to say."

Wang Yishu continued, "The last war ended with the destruction of the Ancient Taoist Civilization, leaving almost no relics in later generations. This was seven to eight thousand years ago. You can see now how prosperous the Ancient Taoist Civilization was back then."

"After the disappearance of the Ancient Taoist Civilization, the number of people who knew Yang Energy gradually decreased. People slowly regressed, and now is only when Yang Energy is starting to resurge."

Chu Hao furrowed his brow and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Wang Yishu seriously said, "When the Fourth Netherworld Ghost appeared, Yang Energy started to diminish. Don't you think there's a correlation in all of this?"

Chu Hao said, "That's just your guesswork."

Wang Yishu shook his head and said, "No, this is all documented. We three real people preserved a historical document, recorded by an ancestor of the three real people, which states that the Fourth Netherworld Ghost... it consumes Yang Energy."

The Fourth Netherworld Ghost consuming Yang Energy?

Wang Yishu nodded and said, "This is a genuine record. Otherwise, do you think such an epic era would disappear without a trace in the flow of history, turning into mythical legends for later generations?"

"I speculate that this dreamlike Ancient Taoist Civilization we're in wasn't left by our ancestors, but is being secretly controlled by the Fourth Netherworld Ghost, who wants the Ancient Taoist Civilization to reemerge, generating enough Yang Energy."

Chu Hao said with a smile, "Isn't this just your speculation?"

Wang Yishu said, "Not entirely speculation, there's evidence."

As he spoke, Wang Yishu took out a yellow talisman, murmuring an incantation, and a stone tablet appeared. The ancient stone tablet contained many ancient texts, some of which had been eroded by time.

Wang Yishu seriously said, "This stone tablet records the abilities of the Fourth Netherworld Ghost, including one called the Two-Instrument Technique, the ultimate illusion technique."

Chu Hao was taken aback and quickly asked, "You're talking about the Dual Polarity Boundary Technique?"

Wang Yishu muttered, "Dual Polarity Boundary Technique? So the word eroded by time was 'Boundary.' This ultimate illusion technique is mastered by the Fourth Netherworld Ghost, as is genuinely recorded on the stone tablet."

Wang Yishu seriously said, "When I first arrived in this world, I had my suspicions."

Chu Hao asked curiously, "Why are you telling me this?"

Wang Yishu smiled bitterly and said, "If everything that's evolved in this world is truly being secretly controlled by the Fourth Netherworld Ghost, he may have already noticed me. If something happens to me, you're the only person who can take the truth out."

Chu Hao found it hard to believe, but what this guy said was substantiated, as most people wouldn't know about the Dual Polarity Boundary Technique.

Of course, Chu Hao could also suspect Wang Yishu of bluffing.

Wang Yishu put away the stone tablet and said, "These are just my personal speculations. The reason I'm telling you this is merely for insurance. If I can't leave this world, then my hypothesis isn't wrong, and you need to quickly inform the outside world."

This guy, turns out he just wanted to hedge his bets.

Wang Yishu said, "Alright, let's go our separate ways from here."

Wang Yishu walked into the Emperor's Gate.

This person was really inexplicable, telling him all this and then acting as if nothing had happened.

Chu Hao also walked into the Emperor's Gate.
