Under the night sky.

    The whirlwind and scattered stones have ceased. The sky-obscuring sandstorm has also dispersed and fallen to the ground.

    Everyone is staring at Mr. Chen, who is still seated on the massive rock, not moving an inch, with a look of astonishment.

    Nobody had anticipated that the Leopard King and over a hundred little demons would be defeated so quickly.

    Expose and get eliminated instantly!

    Such a situation is truly shocking!

    Splash, splash, splash.

    The dull thuds of the little demons crashing down from the sky echoed.

    Everyone is staring intently, unable to believe this situation.

    The Dragoness Sanniu suddenly turned her head to the left, "Teach Wu, did you see clearly what happened just now?"

    Ding Xu, Gao Chen, Zhang Ling, and others also hurriedly looked towards Wu Koujiu.

    After all, he is the one with the highest cultivation among these outsiders.

    Everyone naturally wants to ask about the specific circumstances.

    To their surprise, when they looked over, they found that Wu Koujiu's eyes were also wide open.

    It doesn't need to be said that he didn't see the situation clearly either!

    What… What?

    Even Master Wu couldn't see the situation clearly?

    The Dragoness Sanniu, Ding Xu, Gao Chen, and others all disbelievingly looked towards the Ghost King Wei Shu.

    They think that Wu Koujiu, an upper-grade mage at the later stage, may not be able to see clearly. However, Ghost King Wei Shu is comparable to a high-grade mage at the later stage and cannot fail to see.

    Who would have thought that when the crowd saw Wei Shu's eyes, filled with doubt and astonishment, they all immediately understood.

    Wei Shu, who was highly hoped for by everyone, couldn't see it either!

    Wei Shu is not completely unable to see.

    Just now, he saw that Chen Yun suddenly became withered in an instant, with golden light bursting forth, and then there was nothing else.

    He secretly guessed that this was a super-powerful instantaneous explosion technique.

    With this in mind, Wei Shu became vigilant. Mr. Chen had already earned a formidable reputation. Now he has such a super powerful instantaneous explosive technique. If he is not careful, he might be instantly eliminated just like the Leopard King.

    Just as the minds of everyone were scattered in different directions.

    Chen Yun smiled and looked at the stumped Leopard King hanging in mid-air, "King Bo, you've lost."

    The Leopard King looked at Chen Yun with a terrified expression, unable to muster even a hint of rebuttal. He spoke with great respect, "The little demons indeed lost, sir. Your great power is awe-inspiring. I will definitely honor my promise and bring my men to work as laborers for Qingcheng Mountain for fifty years."

    "That's very good," Chen Yun cast a hand gesture and imprinted the incantation into the Leopard King's body, "This spell is to prevent you from having second thoughts. If you have no second thoughts, it will automatically dissolve when the fifty-year term is up. However, if you have second thoughts, this spell...will make your form and spirit disappear!"

    The Leopard King hurriedly said, "The little demon dares not, absolutely not to have any second thoughts."

    Only then did Chen Yun release the other party and reach out to support him with one hand, his palm appearing a small porcelain bottle. "There are some healing pills inside. When dissolved with clean water, let your little demons drink a bowl each. Their injuries will be healed within three days."

    The Leopard King quickly returned to human form, half-kneeling on the ground to accept the porcelain bottle, "Thank you, sir, for your kind gift of pills."

    With that, the Leopard King went to save the little demons.

    Standing opposite him, the Ghost King Wei Shu couldn't help but ask out loud, "King Bo, did you really submit to Mr. Chen?"

    Just as the Leopard King was using demonic power to condense clear water and dissolve the pills, he turned his head, sneered coldly, and said, "King Wei, the Master's great power is not something that you and I can shake. I advise you not to court trouble for yourself and quickly surrender to my master!"

    He led the attack just now and saw more than those standing at a distance.

    For some reason, the Leopard King felt that his own strength was suppressed a lot when facing Chen Yun. Even with all his might, he could only unleash about 60-70% of his true power.

    That was acceptable. Just now, when he attacked Chen Yun directly, and saw the terrifying scene in front of him, he still had lingering fear in his heart when recalling it.

    The Leopard King had every reason to believe that if Chen Yun had shown even a slightest desire to kill, he and the hundred little demons would have become a hundred piles of bones by now, no, rather, they would have been reduced to dust!

    Wei Shu wasn't willing to believe the Leopard King.

    He knew that Chen Yun was a powerful person.

    He was just accustomed to a carefree and carefree life as a ghost king, how could he accept the constraints of rules and regulations?

    Moreover, with the opening of the divine battle, he is still thinking about achieving fame and fortune, obtaining a position in the celestial world, or at the very least, getting a job in the underworld. How could he possibly work for someone else?

    Wei Shu's thoughts quickly changed.

    Chen Yun, however, still smiled as warmly as the spring breeze, "You, Ghost King, I've heard that you once served as a Cao Yu during the Tianjian era of Emperor Liang. Your eldest daughter was married to a certain immortal surnamed Zhang in Penglai. My teacher, the Eastern Emperor Gong, is the ruler of Penglai. We have some connections. Alright, if you submit to me, today I will spare you from any suffering and pain. But if you stubbornly refuse to understand, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

    Zhu Jin does know that Chen Yun's teacher is the Eastern Emperor Gong.

    Just now, when we were inside, we discussed it.

    Therefore, he wasn't surprised at all.

    However, Xu Zhegaowu and the army of generals and 3000 cavalry did not know.

    Upon hearing that Chen Yun had such a formidable background, everyone was astounded and realized just how deep the roots of this Mr. Chen were.

    But now Chen Yun was engaged in a battle of magic, and the three thousand people led by Xu Zhegaowu dared not make any noise. They could only secretly marvel in their hearts.

    Upon hearing the first half of Chen Yun's words, Wei Shu truly felt some hesitation.

    But little did they know that Chen Yun threatened him in the end.

    This immediately ignited a surge of anger in Wei Shu's heart.

    He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and snort coldly, "Mr. Chen, I know your identity is noble, but I Wei Shu am not an easy person to be bullied. If you want to submit to the King of this land, how can you not show some skills?"

    Chen Yun heaved a long sigh and said, "If you want to suffer physical pain, then come with your troops."

    Wei Shu privately felt somewhat angry, and he didn't respond to Chen Yun's words, but instead loudly called out, "Where are the Ghost Commanders, Ghost Generals, and Ghost Troops?"

    Just as he finished speaking, the atmosphere turned bleak and the energy fluctuated wildly.

    Whirls of dark wind seemed to arise from nowhere.

    It caused the surrounding air to seem as though it had cooled several degrees in an instant.

    Suddenly, the howls of ghosts filled the air outside of Guangling City.

    The crowd felt the starlight above them dim, and looking up in a hurry, they couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

    Only to see that the sky above had become densely clouded without realizing it.

    These clouds were not real clouds, but rather twisted ghost soldiers holding various phantasmal weapons imbued with ghost qi.

    Led by two ghost commanders.

    One had a single horn on his head, with a green face and sharp teeth as large as a small mountain.

    The other was over one hundred and ten zhang in height, with three eyes on his brow, muscular and powerful.

    Xue Wenjie and the Leopard King could tell at a glance that these two ghost commanders were no less powerful than them.

    Two high-level magic practitioners at the initial stage of ghost commanders!

    That's nothing. The other five ghost generals were also very formidable, with a strength at least equal to the mid-stage of an upper-grade mage.

    The remaining eight thousand ghost soldiers, while not as powerful as Chen Yun's divine generals and troops, had ghost qi permeating the sky, obscuring it entirely.

    Anybody could tell that among the eight thousand ghost soldiers, the weakest were equivalent to lower-grade mages, and those who were more powerful could compare to average-grade mages.

    Such a force could be considered relatively large among the world.

    Wu Koujiu, Dragoness Sanniu, and Gao Chen, and others watched this scene and couldn't help but worry for Chen Yun.

    Xue Wenjie, Xu Zhegaowu, the officers, and the three thousand cavalrymen felt the same worry.

    Wei Shu's army was too numerous, while Chen Yun was alone, it seemed difficult to win.

    On the contrary, Zhu Jin became excited and flew with excitement upon seeing the ghost king gather so many subordinates.

    He thought that with so many ghost commanders, generals, and soldiers, Wei Shu was sure to defeat Chen Yun and keep him safe.

    Ghost King Wei Shu was rather proud and said, "Mr. Chen, don't think I am overpowering you with my army. If you have any skills, please bring them out quickly. When we attack together later, you won't have a chance to show them!"

    Chen Yun didn't seem to take those words seriously.

    Or perhaps he didn't even take Ghost King Wei Shu seriously.

    He chuckled softly, "When you attack with your army, then you will know what kind of skills I have."

    Wei Shu saw Chen Yun so arrogant, or rather, looked down on him, which made him even more angry.

    He waved his hand grandly, "All soldiers, listen up! Advance!"

    "We will comply with the King's command!"

    "We will follow the King's command!"

    The two ghost commanders echoed in unison.

    Just as the words fell, the two ghost commanders led the five ghost generals, eight thousand ghost soldiers, divided into left and right columns of thick black gas, pouncing down from the sky like a thousand tigers descending from the mountains. The scene was extremely magnificent.

    The spectators watching from a distance saw that the black qi in the sky resembled waves, surging downwards in great rolls, swirling and tumultuous.

    The terrifying ghost qi was like a blade, fiercely tearing through the air, creating ripples of cracks spreading outwards.

    Suddenly, a fierce wind blows.

    The sky darkens and the earth trembles.

    Such a grand display makes one feel as though numerous evil ghosts are about to smash the human world!

    But Chen Yun, sitting there, remained motionless.

    Wu Koujiu, Longnu Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and others watched anxiously, thinking that Mr. Chen was still not moving. If he really gets surrounded by these evil ghosts, even with his extraordinary skills, he wouldn't be able to break free!

    Xue Wenjie, the Leopard King, and Xu Zhegaowu et al. watched with sweat on their palms, hoping Chen Yun would respond quickly.

    Unfortunately, Chen Yun remained as still as a statue.

    Finally, two swirling streams of ghost qi, dark as dragons, reached Chen Yun's presence. In an instant, he was enveloped by their black aura!

    The ghost qi suddenly swelled and spread out, overwhelming in its intensity.

    In an instant, the entire outside of Guangling City was enveloped in raging winds and dense black ghost qi!

    The people could only see a thick, impenetrable darkness, where even with five fingers extended, it was impossible to see anything.

    It's over!

    Mr. Chen has been surrounded by two ghost commanders, four ghost generals, and eight thousand ghost soldiers. He cannot escape!

    Wu Koujiu, Longnu Sanjiu, Ding Xu, and others felt a chill in their hearts and were ready to intervene to save him!

    Xue Wenjie, the Leopard King, and Xu Zhegaowu were even more anxious, worried that something might happen to Chen Yun.

    On the contrary, Zhu Jin, hiding inside the city gate, displayed a triumphant smile as if he had already won.

    If one had to say who looked differently from everyone else present, it might be the Ghost King Wei Shu.

    Wei Shu not only didn't display a triumphant smile like Zhu Jin, but he looked uncertainly towards the front, where the ghost qi was surging into the sky in a black density, making him look very confused.

    The Chen Yun who is famous across the mountains and rivers, could this be his level?

    At this moment, when everyone was lost in thought.

    Suddenly!

    Boom!

    A fierce thunderclap erupted from the heart of the dense ghost qi.

    Suddenly, everyone saw a fierce burst of golden light, causing numerous ghost soldiers to scream and fly away.

    The massive bodies of the two ghost commanders were instantly blasted with thousands of holes by the golden light.

    The five ghost generals were no better, all being thrown into the air.

    In an instant, golden light shot into the sky.

    Everyone hurriedly looked over.

    In the next moment, everyone saw an awe-inspiring scene.

    The next moment, everyone witnessed a stunning scene. Amidst the surging golden light, a divine statue suddenly rose into the sky.

    This divine statue was covered in a brilliant gold, as radiant as the sun. It had nine hands and twelve heads, holding objects such as a necklace, parasol, flower garland, fish-shaped dagger, golden bow, silver spear, consecrated staff, crescent blade, and golden vase!
