The Northern Spirit Palace Master sacrificed himself and defeated the Second Ghost Variant.

Chu Hao looked somber; perhaps they were separated by thousands of years and several eras, but this master-disciple bond made it impossible for him to forget.

The other Palace Masters didn't look good; the strongest Northern Spirit Palace Master had died just like that. Without him, who present could be a match for the Second Ghost Variant?

At this moment, a Palace Master exclaimed, "He's not dead!"

Everyone was shocked! Under such destruction, the Second Ghost Variant still wasn't dead? How was that possible.

Only to see the shattered body fragments of the White Demon Yi Mo scattered everywhere, continuously writhing.

Some fragments fused together, molded into a mass, seemingly restoring! Yet the process was very slow.

It really wasn't dead!

This made one's scalp tingle; what kind of monster, blasted to pieces by the Yin Yang Order, could still regenerate!

"Yang Fire." A Palace Master wielded Yang Fire, a terrifying flame used to obliterate the Second Ghost Variant's fragments.

However, it was utterly useless; they were invincible.

"Even the Yang Fire burning the Three Souls and Seven Spirits is ineffective, how did the Northern Spirit Palace Master manage to destroy it?" A Palace Master was incredulous.

Finally, they thought of a solution, which was to gather these fragments, seal them using sealing techniques, splitting them into countless parts, taking them to different places to keep them forever separated.

Outside the Holy City, a terrifying sound erupted, some mountain ranges crumbling and collapsing, where a dreadful battle occurred.

Master Xuan Yuan murmured, "The Chief of Tao Clan, the Chief of Tai Clan, and the Chief of Wang Family Clan are dealing with the First Ghost. How's the battle going?"

It turns out, fierce battles were not just occurring here, but happening elsewhere as well.

Besides the ghosts, many corpse ghosts appeared; these decaying corpses were various, and their abilities were not weak either, unknown who released them.

At this moment, Emperor Shun appeared, and other Palace Masters repeatedly said, "Lord Emperor Shun."

Emperor Shun nodded slightly, looked at Chu Hao and others, and said, "See clearly? The method to deal with the ghosts is to make oneself stronger; the Northern Spirit Palace Master was strong, so he could kill the ghosts."

Everyone felt bitter; was this the only way to destroy the ghosts?

The battle just now was nearly beyond imagination; how many people could achieve this method? Not everyone was as powerful as the Northern Spirit Palace Master.

Gu Yan said solemnly, "Lord Emperor Shun, please tell us, where is the Fourth Netherworld Ghost?"

Emperor Shun sighed, "What's the use of telling you?"

"Who says it's useless."

A voice sounded, appearing within the ruins of the Holy City, standing on a large stone, staring at Emperor Shun.

Chu Hao was dumbfounded upon seeing this person; it was Su Huansheng!

Su Huansheng was supposed to be outside, guarding the Netherworld Devil's passageway; why was he here?

Emperor Shun glanced at Su Huansheng and said, "Are you a descendant of the Tao Clan?"

"Fourth Netherworld Ghost, you should appear, shouldn't you!" Su Huansheng said coldly.

Fourth Netherworld Ghost!

Who?

Everyone was bewildered; Su Huansheng's statement was somewhat baffling.

A white light flashed, Emperor Shun lowered his head, and on his chest was a white bone, piercing through his chest!

The sudden assassination shocked everyone present.

Emperor Shun frowned, and his half-face became somewhat hideous, saying, "Seeking death?"

The aura on Emperor Shun changed slightly.

Chu Hao, Gu Yan, Shang Yingdie, and others were dumbfounded and said, "What exactly is going on?"

"Lord Emperor Shun!" Other Palace Masters were also shocked.

"Uh, the one who can kill me, hasn't appeared yet, are you sure?"

A lazy voice sounded, melodious and clear, seductive, making one feel comfortable, very compelling.

Just seeing a voluptuous woman, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, with eyes that seemed to speak, a flawless and pretty face, moist lips, making any man who looked at her feel captivated.

She wore a white dress, without any embellishment, yet looked anything but ordinary.

Her attire was obviously modern, appearing so out of place in this world. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Chu Hao was utterly stunned upon seeing the woman.

"Wow! Bai Ling."

Bai Ling looked over with spring-filled eyes, without a hint of surprise, instead smiling lightly, saying, "Young Butler, it's been a while since we last met."

Chu Hao was stupefied.

How did Bai Ling appear here?

Moreover, she used a bone spike to pierce Emperor Shun!

He hadn't seen Bai Ling for a period; she claimed to have been wandering the world, yet unexpectedly saw her here, shocking him to the extreme.

"You, why are you here?" Chu Hao's mind was overwhelmed.

Bai Ling wrinkled her delicate nose, looking lively, discontentedly said, "Butler, why are you babbling, hurry up and leave, eyesore."

This was indeed Bai Ling, no mistake, the speaking tone and style remained unchanged.

"Master"

At this moment, further surprising Chu Hao, Shang Yingdie spoke, looking at Bai Ling with excitement and joy.

Master?

No way!?

Shang Yingdie's Master was actually the Heavenly Bone Woman?

Bai Ling smiled lightly and said, "My beautiful little disciple, have you been well these years?"

Shang Yingdie was extremely excited and said, "Master, I'm very well."

Chu Hao opened his mouth wide, nearly able to fit a fist inside; could anything be more unbelievable?

Shang Yingdie's Master was actually Bai Ling, thus merely indicating Bai Ling existed during the Ancient Taoist Civilization Era?

Brother Hao was still too young, no wonder Bai Ling.

"Ah! Growing flowers at home is much better, why resort to fighting?"

An old man appeared, dressed in green, wearing a flower basket on his head, looking somewhat awkward, mismatched, like an old man from the Green Forest Fairy Tale.

Who was this old man?

The old man saw Chu Hao and laughed, saying, "So you're the one who wanted my granddaughter to go adventuring, right? I've only got one precious granddaughter; if anything happens, boy, expect me at your doorstep."

Chu Hao's mouth twitched and said, "Who are you?"

The old man snorted, "Zi Jing is my granddaughter."

Zi Jing!

This old man was Zi Jing's grandfather?

Darn, what exactly was going on?

He could see with Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils that Zi Jing's grandfather had an exceedingly vigorous Yang Fire of life.

A human from the outside world, upon seeing Zi Jing's grandfather, said in surprise, "He, he seems like the Cloudtop Medicine Collector from back then?"

"Really, seems like it; the photos were specially processed, but with a flower basket on his head, it's clear at a glance," someone else said.

Chu Hao spoke dizzily, "Su Huansheng, what exactly is going on here?"

Su Huansheng was extremely solemn, saying, "Actually, Emperor Shun is the Fourth Netherworld Ghost, no! I should say, the Fourth Netherworld Ghost disguised as Lord Emperor Shun."

Everyone looked at Emperor Shun.

Emperor Shun drew out the bone spike, throwing it on the ground, his left half-face and right half-face were mismatched, one smiling wickedly, the other calm.

Gu Yan was horrified, saying, "What exactly is the Fourth Netherworld Ghost?"

Zi Jing's grandfather said, "A kind of spiritual resentment; it's very elusive, hard to catch. Speak up! Fourth Netherworld Ghost, what exactly is your purpose? Hiding all these years."

Emperor Shun's half-face grinned, looking strange; he seemed not at all anxious.
