Not long after.
The five of them had already reached the edge of this forbidden zone of dead souls.
"This...Young Master Gu, how should we get across?"
Looking at the light screen that stretched across the sky and earth, the four women's eyes changed, because the aura emanating from the light screen made them tremble all over!
This light barrier is definitely more dangerous than that Dead Soul Witch King!
They didn't even need to touch it; just by getting this close, they could feel the light screen distorting!
If we actually encountered that, we'd be reduced to ashes on the spot.
"Hehe, easy."
Gu Heng laughed. These four girls were indeed frightened by the light screen. It looked scary, but there was no need to care at all.
For any living person, getting out of here is a piece of cake.
then.
He simply strode over to the light barrier and easily stepped out.
"..."
The four women could only smile sheepishly.
If Young Master Gu wanted to leave, that would be too easy, but they didn't have the ability to simply ignore the light barrier and leave!
"Don't worry, if you're really scared, just hold my hand."
Gu Heng stood outside the light screen and reached out his hand. He knew that these girls still had reservations, so he might as well let him lend a hand.
In the end, Bai Feier grabbed Gu Heng's hand first and then passed through the light barrier unharmed.
Subsequently.
Li Feichan and the Shutao and Shuying sisters also grabbed Gu Heng's hands and came out!
Everyone was a little surprised. Gu Heng did nothing, and the light barrier seemed to have failed, unable to provide any obstruction. If he could ignore the light barrier, how could they ignore it along with him?
of course.
This question didn't linger in their minds for long.
Since it's impossible to figure it out anyway, there's no point in dwelling on it.
"Phew, the smell outside is so much better!"
The four women relaxed, both physically and mentally.
That forbidden zone of dead souls was always filled with a chilling, unpleasant smell of death. Now that I'm out, my nasal passages feel incredibly refreshed.
Gu Heng looked around: "Alright, where should we go next?"
Although they had left the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls, they were still unfamiliar with the area and couldn't just wander aimlessly in the wilderness, risking they might stumble into some dangerous place.
We can't escape the wolves' pack only to fall into the tiger's den!
"Does Young Master Gu have nowhere to go?"
"Of course I don't. It's my first time here. If it really comes to a bad situation, the four of you can stick together and look out for each other."
Gu Heng glanced at the sky.
It seems like it's almost time for the sun to set...
"Where is Young Master Gu going?" Bai Feier asked.
"I... am on a different path from you, but I trust you. You can handle things even without me, right?"
Gu Heng didn't explicitly say he wanted to return to the Xuan Tian Realm. After all, the system's teleportation skill only allowed him to travel back and forth, not to take them with him. And frankly, they might not even want to go back...
If he didn't have the teleportation skill, he would never have thought of going back.
"Since Young Master Gu values our abilities so much, then we really can't be afraid of what lies ahead!"
The four girls were somewhat disappointed, but hearing Gu Heng's high praise for them filled them with fighting spirit!
If he says it's okay, then they definitely will!
"Then please take care, Young Master Gu. See you again someday," Bai Feier said, clasping her hands in a fist salute.
"Yes, take care, you too."
After saying goodbye, everyone went their separate ways in different directions.
Gu Heng watched the four of them disappear together on the distant horizon before finally feeling relieved and preparing to use teleportation to leave. Time to go back and brag to Manager Jin Qian!
"Huh? What's that?"
However, just before disappearing, Gu Heng saw a streak of light flying towards him from the far horizon at an extremely fast speed!
then.
It instantly disappeared into the light barrier, rushed into the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls, and vanished into the distance.
"Amazing, there are actually people who would come to this place on their own initiative, they're really going against the grain."
Gu Heng clicked his tongue in amazement.
……
Temple of the Witch King.
There was no one there, and all the lights in the hall had been extinguished.
In the center of the main hall, the dilapidated altar collapsed with a crash, but a small gray will-o'-the-wisp floated up from inside!
"Damn it!" "That broken lamp, in the end, it still harmed me!"
The Death Soul Witch King, or rather, the last remaining bit of will-o'-the-wisp of the Death Soul Witch King, let out an extremely tragic wail!
Its most powerful form has been completely obliterated by the Primordial Soul Lamp, along with hundreds of hunters. Now, only this little bit remains.
Its power has also vanished.
This wisp of will-o'-the-wisp couldn't even defeat those mortal-level vengeful ghosts wandering outside!
Countless years of patient waiting ultimately came to nothing. The ruthlessness in the heart of the Death Soul Witch King had reached its limit, but it was all in vain.
Sudden.
"Pfft-"
A gust of wind blew by, and in the darkness, someone silently appeared inside the Witch King's Palace. "Who goes there?!"
"The Death Soul Witch King shouted."
"it's me."
Emerging from the darkness was Gu Yun, clad in a dragon robe!
At this moment, Gu Yun's expression was extremely ugly, especially when he saw that the Death Soul Witch King only had this ghost fire left. He was about to explode with rage.
"What's going on! Why are you only a tiny remnant of your soul left?!"
He questioned through gritted teeth.
Gu Yun personally arrived at the Forbidden Zone of Dead Souls.
It was because the great guardians of the Xuan Tian Realm reported that the celestial phenomena were frequently unusual, seemingly a harbinger of an invasion from the Demon Realm. He had no choice but to come here ahead of time, release the Dead Soul Witch King, and make preparations in advance to deal with the invasion from the Demon Realm.
He wasn't worried about the Death Soul Witch King turning against him, as Gu Yun possessed the Soul Control Seal, enough to make the Death Soul Witch King obediently follow his orders.
but.
This Death Soul Witch King should have been his equal in strength, or even stronger than Gu Yun!
And now... Gu Yun knows what this means.
This means his plan is ruined!
"What else could it be? It's all your fault, you damned dragon! You actually let in a mere ant with the Primordial Soul Lamp, causing me and all my subordinates to be reduced to ashes!"
Mentioning this made the Death Soul Witch King furious.
If this stupid dragon hadn't let in a cultivator carrying the Primordial Soul Lamp, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"W-what? You mean the Primordial Soul Lamp?"
Gu Yun was startled.
He also knew about this treasure that had once displayed its power during the Five Realms War, but didn't it also disappear after the Crimson Flame Demon Immortal went missing?
How did I end up here?
"...In that case, you're useless now."
Gu Yun suddenly reached out his hand!
Although the Death Soul Witch King had become a useless piece of trash, he actually received more important news: the Primordial Soul Lamp had been taken to the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm!
He wants that treasure!
With that thing, what can the demon realm do against an invasion?
He wants to directly search for the soul of the Dead Soul Witch King!
But the Death Soul Witch King was also on guard. It had already prepared to erase its own memories first. Gu Yun acted quickly, but it was too late.
"Hahaha, you bastard, if you want the Primordial Soul Lamp, go find it yourself!"
The Dead Soul Witch King was held in Gu Yun's hand, but it laughed maniacally. Gu Yun's expression changed. Before he could search its soul, he felt something explode in his palm.
"you!"
Gu Yun was furious and squeezed hard!
Snapped!
The ball of gray will-o'-the-wisp exploded instantly, leaving not a trace of ash.
The vengeful ghosts of the underworld, who had lingered in this forbidden realm of dead souls for countless years, were thus utterly destroyed.
