After leaving, Jiang Chen put away the Ghost Tower and found Xiao Hongyi and Chen Sheng outside the inn.
Even for these two, dealing with the clashes of many Nirvana realm powerhouses was exhausting and consumed a great deal of energy.
Jiang Chen glanced at Cold Realm City and was shocked.
At this moment, Cold Realm City could only be described as riddled with holes.
Everywhere he looked, there were ruins and rampaging ghosts.
Many cultivators, desperate to survive, were rushing madly towards the Mysterious Ice Realm, with only the soldiers of Cold Realm City battling the ghosts.
In the distance, Jiang Chen saw a middle-aged city commander.
The middle-aged commander, along with a hundred soldiers, fought fearlessly against thousands of ghosts.
They wielded various spiritual weapons and were bathed in blood on their armor.
Despite their bravery and skill in battle, the overwhelming number of ghosts consumed them one by one like a tide.Jiang Chen witnessed it with his own eyes. A soldier was torn apart by several ghosts, and even though he was on his last breath, he still charged into the crowd of ghosts alone, taking many with him in a self-destructive move.
He also saw a middle-aged commander’s abdomen was pierced by a ghostly claw.
Despite being drenched in blood, despite the unbearable pain, the middle-aged commander still turned back and shouted to him, “Jiang Chen, these ghosts are here for you! Quickly hide in the secret realm! There’s a natural formation inside the secret realm that ghosts cannot enter!”
“…”
These scenes before his eyes made Jiang Chen frown.
“Where are the righteous sects? Where are the prodigies of the righteous path? Why are only the soldiers resisting the horde of ghosts?” he asked Xiao Hongyi and Chen Sheng.
“The secret realm has opened, and numerous cultivators have swarmed in. Now, in Cold Realm City, only the guards and over a thousand crazed cultivators remain,” replied Xiao Hongyi.
“That female ghost has spread the word that the attack of myriad ghosts on the city is not to kill but to find you,” Chen Sheng said, puzzled.
“Young Master, when did you get involved with that female ghost?”
“…Old Chen, this is on you.”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen said.
“???”
Chen Sheng was immediately dumbfounded.
What did this have to do with him?
Jiang Chen had always respected Chen Sheng.
Although he thought it was Chen Sheng’s fault, he didn’t mean to blame him. It was just a casual remark.
At this point, dwelling on these matters was meaningless.
What needed to be considered now was what to do.
Jiang Chen frowned in thought.
Logically, as the villain, he should disregard the lives of others and escape into the Mysterious Ice Realm.
But the problem was… if he really left like that, wouldn’t he owe a debt of gratitude to the city’s guards and the many crazed cultivators?
After all, at this moment, these people were using their lives to resist the myriad ghosts, thereby buying him time to escape.
Jiang Chen was speechless. He knew very well that even without anyone’s help to buy time, he could still smoothly enter the secret realm with the various trump cards in his hand, as well as the cover provided by Xiao Hongyi and Chen Sheng.
“I, Jiang Chen, will never owe anyone!” In the end, he made a decision.
With a “clang,” the Flame Blood Dragon Sword appeared.
He stepped on the blood sword and flew into the air.
Upon reaching the skies above Cold Realm City, he used his cultivation to shout loudly: “Jiang Chen is here!!”
In an instant, the sound thundered away, echoing all around.
Upon hearing this, all the ghosts paused in their movements, simultaneously turning their gaze to investigate.
The guards and cultivators alike were stunned for a moment, then, as if recalling something, they began to beat their chests and weep.
The most dramatic reaction was from Su E.
Following the sound, she saw Jiang Chen’s face clearly.
Her eyes shone brightly as if she had seen a rare treasure!
Handsome, he is simply too handsome!
Such a responsible and outrageously handsome man was worth her leading myriad ghosts here!
“My lord, this girl greets you.”
Su E greeted Jiang Chen after licking her lips: “There are too many bad people outside, my lord should quickly come back with me to Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss!”
Jiang Chen blurted out, “Su E, you lovesick female ghost! Sooner or later, I will suppress you with a flip of my hand! You will regret it!”
“Giggle~”
Su E laughed instead of getting angry, her voice seductive: “My lord, if you want to suppress me, why wait for the future? As long as you come back with me, this girl is willing to be suppressed by you in bed.”
As she spoke, she also threw a flirtatious glance at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was so angry. This ghost is too shameless!
“Hmph!”
Not wanting to bicker with Su E, Jiang Chen directly headed for the Mysterious Ice Realm.
Seeing this, Su E wanted to pursue but was stopped by the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor blocking her path.
“Even you righteous folks want to stop me from finding Jiang Chen?” Su E’s smile faded, and her expression turned gloomy.
“I’ve said it before, you’ve crossed the line,” the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor said as he swung his sword.
“Jiang Chen’s life and death are none of my concern, but your leading myriad ghosts to attack the city is an insult to us righteous cultivators!”
“That’s right,” added Buddha Old Ancestor.
“The emergence of myriad ghosts brings calamity to living beings. Killing you is another act of merit!”
“Such high-sounding talk, but isn’t it all for your own benefit?” Su E said with disdain.
Unable to go after Jiang Chen herself, she communicated with her consciousness to order the myriad ghosts to ignore everyone else.
The priority was to capture Jiang Chen and not harm him!
Upon receiving the order, the myriad ghosts quickly converged, baring their fangs and claws as they chased after Jiang Chen.
As this scene unfolded before their eyes, Xiao Hongyi, Chen Sheng, and the many guards and cultivators wanted to help.
But then they saw Jiang Chen, who had been fleeing just a second ago, suddenly stopped in his tracks holding a miniaturized Ghost Tower and abruptly turned around.
“Go!”
After a grin, Jiang Chen threw the Ghost Tower towards the approaching myriad ghosts.
In an instant, the Ghost Tower grew larger as it spun and emitted a violent trembling sound.
The trembling sound stunned the ghosts and slowed their movements.
By the time they came to their senses, they realized that the suspended Ghost Tower was emitting a suction force they couldn’t resist.
Under such suction force, lower-cultivation ghosts were instantly sucked into the tower.
The higher-cultivation ghosts, who could initially resist a bit, also discovered that Jiang Chen was surrounded by ghostly qi. Under the control of the ghostly qi, the suction force of the Ghost Tower became even stronger.
In just a moment, thousands of ghosts were all sucked into the Ghost Tower, causing the remaining ghosts to be utterly horrified.
Having dealt with the Ghost Controlling Sect for years, the ghosts knew very well that any ghost sucked into the Ghost Tower would be suppressed by it, unable to escape!
“Ghost Tower? Ghost Controlling Demon Strategy?!”
Su E, watching from a distance, was also shocked.
She couldn’t understand. Wasn’t Jiang Chen from the Jiuyan Sect? How could he know ghost techniques? And even control the Ghost Tower?
“Haha! Su E! Today I’ll teach you a small lesson by taking thousands of your ghosts! Sooner or later, I will also suppress you inside the Ghost Tower!” Jiang Chen let out a laugh.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone and the ghosts were stunned, he flew away on his sword quickly and entered the secret realm’s gate in the blink of an eye.
When they came to their senses, the ghosts were left blinking in confusion.
Su E was so angry she stamped her feet.
But soon, she let it go and smiled sweetly.
“My lord, consider those ghosts as your concubine’s dowry. Since you’ve taken them, your concubine will surely find you,” she called out in the direction of the secret realm.
