The Ghost Cultivators of the Kuiming Domain are truly convenient when it comes to tracking a cultivator's whereabouts. The nose of a soul ghost is much more effective than a dog's, able to detect the traces of Liang Yi and others across half a domain.

What's more excessive is that the ghost cultivators dispatched by Ren Wang blatantly pursued Liang Yi and his group, leaving Liang Yi and his team, who wanted to keep a low profile, with no choice.

From the moment they killed their first ghost cultivator, the tracking never stopped, and the number of Abyss Cultivators who died by Liang Yi and Su Youyi's hands continued to increase.

Pang Qingshi, He Zhiqing, and Ke Mengzhan formed a team, responsible for the Thorns Domain and Beisheng Domain; Liang Yi and Su Youyi, as a pair, took charge of the Moro Domain and Jinghe Domain; while Elder Ju stayed with Wan Tinggui in the Kuiming Domain, investigating the flow of spiritual power under Ren Wang's watchful eyes.

"Fortunately, Daoist Brother Pang's Daoist skills are strong enough. They can only calculate our approximate location, otherwise, we wouldn't be having such an easy time."

Liang Yi put away the map and stretched lazily.

They had successfully completed their mission here, and his junior sister had also broken through her limits after decisively slaying an Eighth Realm Abyss Cultivator.

Over the past year, Liang Yi had experienced explosive growth in his cultivation, even approaching level 90.

At first, Liang Yi was quite confused and thought the system was broken, but after spending half a day on the player forum, he understood that the players had joined the battle again.

However, this time, the players' enthusiasm seemed unusually high. Although experience, equipment, and cultivation techniques still attracted them, what really drove them crazy was a short video posted on the player forum by Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei.

By the time Liang Yi saw it, the video had been banned, but from word of mouth among the players, he roughly understood why they were so excited.

Goodness, it turned out that those two had posted a video of themselves visiting a brothel in the Abyss.

They certainly made a splash, but because of the explicit content, their accounts were banned for half a month.

According to later statements from Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei, there was nothing in the video, just a slight peck at most.

The brothels here in the Abyss were indeed a bit more liberal than those on the Mystical Mechanism Continent, but only to a limited extent, restricted to just pecking the lips, yet the atmosphere was exceptionally well rendered.

According to Bai Xiaomo: "The realism, it's like top-grade silk, smooth and soft."

As the word spread from ten to a hundred in the forum, a rather normal event was exaggerated tens of times and escalated beyond what Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei ever expected.

After all, who plays games when they have girlfriends, and how many gamers actually have girlfriends?

Asking those players to post a game strategy on the forum, they could go on for three days and nights non-stop; but ask them to describe what a girl's lips taste like, that's much harder than advanced mathematics, a straight dive into an area of ignorance.

So in order to experience the silk-like soft touch, players desperately scrambled, even shouting slogans like "As long as the lady is on point, I'll finish the Abyss for you."

Wan Tinggui said that now the defenses of the Abyss have been forced to retreat several miles.

"Let's go, Ren Wang should be here soon. It's not advisable to stay here for long."

Liang Yi called out to Su Youyi, getting ready to avoid meeting Ren Wang.

Previously, he and his junior sister, who had just advanced to the Eighth Realm, had only briefly clashed with those dispatched by Ren Wang, almost getting discovered their bases. Moreover, every ghost cultivator is a manipulator of countless ghosts; either kill them before they deploy their domain, or be forced into a situation engulfed by a wave of ghosts.

"Are we going back already?"

Su Youyi pouted, appearing somewhat reluctant.

Over the past year, she and her senior brother had traveled almost all over Moro Domain and Jinghe Domain. Since the Abyss is essentially a reflection of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, and even though the scenery differs on both sides due to differences in the Abyss, with careful observation, there are still breathtaking sights.

Like the blossoming lotus ponds of the Jinghe Domain reflecting the sunlight, and the ancient giant city buried a thousand feet underground by sand in the Moro Domain – all places that made Su Youyi linger.

It wasn't because of these stunning sights that Su Youyi found it hard to forget, but rather because when she encountered these beautiful places, she had someone by her side to share those views with.

"We were a bit rushed this time, only visited two domains, and didn't even try the local delicacies. When we have time in the future, let's tour all the remaining three domains of the Mystical Mechanism Continent and the Abyss together, and enjoy the food all over."

Liang Yi gently teased Su Youyi's delicate nose; over the past year, his junior sister had indeed freed her nature. If not for Abyss Cultivators popping out every few days needing a chop from his junior sister, Liang Yi would have thought they were really here just for tourism.

"Remember, no deceiving me."

Su Youyi cheerfully held out her pinky finger.

"How old are you, still believing in this."

Liang Yi felt helpless as he spoke, yet he honestly stretched out his hand.

"Hehe."

Su Youyi smiled contently.

After making a pinky promise, Liang Yi did not let go of Su Youyi's hand. Instead, he grasped her hand more tightly and crushed the black Mystic Crystal that Wan Tinggui had given them.

An incredibly rich Shadow Law power flowed like mercury inside the Mystic Crystal. When Liang Yi crushed the crystal, this power slowly dispersed like condensed mist, quickly forming a dark fog gate leading to the Shadow Sect right in front of them.

Before leaving, Liang Yi glanced unintentionally towards the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped through the gate together with Su Youyi.

After the two entered, the gate of dark fog instantly collapsed and disappeared from the world.

The birds that had been surrounding Liang Yi and Su Youyi were momentarily stunned, then scattered in all directions.

Just shortly after Liang Yi and Su Youyi left, a gray ghostly figure suddenly appeared on the bluestone where they had been standing, which overlooked the surrounding scenery.

The ghostly figure had a towering stature, several meters tall, but its arms and legs were extremely long, resembling some kind of ape.

This ghostly giant ape lifted its head and sniffed lightly in the air, its eyes flashing with an intensely human-like irritability.

"They've escaped again!"

Ren Wu's uncontrollable angry voice abruptly emitted from the giant ape's ghostly figure, followed by him violently punching the bluestone underfoot.

With a powerful force erupting into the earth, the thousand-mile range of mountains seemed to roll over like a turning dragon; in just a breath's time, the scene changed drastically with mountains collapsing and the earth shattering, turning the natural place into ruins!

But just as the Ren Wu-possessed giant ape ghost shattered the bluestone underfoot into powder with its fist, a bright sword light suddenly rose from under the ghost's feet!

In the moment Ren Wu internally cursed his bad luck, the next instant he felt a chill below the belt.

This giant ape was one of Ren Wu's refined ghost creatures, possessing a cultivation level in the later stages of the Eighth Realm, and since the ape didn't have a physical body and was entirely composed of the Power of Laws, it naturally lacked that function.

The sword light wasn't particularly powerful but it was extremely covert; even at such close proximity, he hadn't noticed it! Now, although this chill under the belt meant the giant ape's dignity was compromised, Ren Wu, miles away, turned pale with rage because of his anger!

Because after possessing, he was able to feel everything that his ghostly giant ape felt!

"Sir, are you alright?"

Several streams of light flashed from the distance, chasing after him—several Ghost Cultivators that Ren Wu had earlier sent away.

But as soon as they arrived, they saw that their lord seemed to be in a peculiar state.

"Damn it!!!"

Ren Wu slapped the Cultivator closest to him into a pile of flesh, and then roared to the sky.

Unending mighty power leaked out, raging senselessly across the already destroyed land, turning it into nothingness!

After having many of his capable subordinates killed and being ridiculed for a year, he had now been humiliated greatly, yet he still hadn't caught even a glimpse of the person.

Ren Wu could not remember when he last felt so angry. He swore! One day, when he caught that person, he would dismember him into thousands of pieces! He would make sure that person experienced the excruciating pain devoured by a thousand ghosts. He would make it so that the person could neither live nor die willingly!
