Chapter 26

The Ghost City of Wrath was very quiet, despite the battle commencing inside the mansion. The human ghosts were not seen everywhere. Since the Ghost Generals were tasked with searching for the two cultivators, little did they know that the two were already battling their Lord. One of the Ghost Generals, who was strolling around the Ghost City, where human ghosts were already hiding in fear, sensed terrifying energy as they went nearer and nearer to the mansion. The Ghost General turned to his subordinates and spoke in a hurry, "Ready yourselves for battle! There are intruders inside the Lord's Mansion!"

"YES GENERAL!"

The Ghost General also released pitch-black energy from his hand, and the pitch-black energy turned itself into a bird, scattering around the place to inform other generals that their master was ambushed. It was not that long when the Ghost General arrived at the entrance of the mansion. But when the Ghost General tried to open the wooden double door, a glowing blur barrier surfaced in the handle of the door that knocked back the General. The large double door was instantly covered in ice, sealing the entrance from the uninvited guests.

"HURRY!" The Ghost General shouted to his subordinates as soon as he stood up, "GO TO THE OTHER DOORS! TRY TO JUMP THROUGH THE WINDOW! WE MUST AID OUR LORD———"

However, when the subordinates tried to go to other places in the mansion, a blue barrier blocked them from the walls as well as the doors and windows and also inflicted damage on them by freezing them with ice. "General! A barrier was set all over the Lord's Mansion! The person who set this barrier must've known that there would be reinforcements coming to aid the Lord!" One of the subordinates shouted.

"This is bad," the Ghost General murmured. "Forgive me, my Lord; this servant is powerless."

"Haa..." Lian Ren heaved a heavy breath as he tried to maintain his balance. He stumbled a few times as he tried to properly carry Shao Ling on his arms. As time went by, he felt that unconsciousness was slowly taking over, but he needed to stay awake to ensure that Shao Ling would be safe. Shit... Putting up a barrier in a large mansion like this eats up a huge amount of my spiritual energy, as well as the ice fairies that I summoned, especially the Blood Demon. I need to finish this quickly.

All of a sudden, the wide wall of ice spikes exploded in an instant. Glowing golden sinister covered the entire floor, followed by the ice slowly melting and disappearing into nothingness. Lian Ren held Shao Ling tighter and subconsciously took a step back. Even if he acted tough in this situation, he knew that he had no spiritual qi left, and it was time to leave this to his summons.

Acting strong will not only risk his own life but also Shao Ling's. Amid the glowing golden sinister qi, the Sin of Wrath was standing still afar from him. His right hand was raised, and his expression was showing a hint of irritation. The Sin of Wrath unleashed a golden snake coming from the excess golden sinister on the ground, and the snake was about to rush in Lian Ren's direction as it bared its fangs but was immediately stopped by the Blood Demon that he summoned.

"Who dares—" The Sin of Wrath cannot continue his words when he sees the one who stopped his attack. His blood-red eyes immediately shrank, and his hands uncontrollably trembled in fear as he looked at the person who was standing in front of him with an expressionless face.
